Hermione and the rest of the gang had just finished supper. They headed upstairs to bed knowing that the next day would be the last day they have here until Christmas Break where they would all pile here as always exchange gifts and enjoy each others company. They also have never been able to have a full family Christmas until this year since now everyone can take a breather.
The next morning they all raced down the stairs with a feeling of fulfillment. They had their trunks coming down the stairs behind them thanks to Fred and George since they were legal to practice magic outside of school. The only reason they were able to leave the shop for the year was because it was doing so well and they had their best friend Lee Jordan running it for them. Also they had permission from Dumbledore to use a portkey to go back and forth to the shop to check on things. Hermione smiled back at them they could be so cute at times. She had always looked to them for advice and guidance. She was happy they were pursuing their dreams and had their own shop to show for it. Fred was extremely excited to go back to Hogwarts since he now "ruled" the school as a Head Boy. Mrs. Weasley had been so proud she didn't even scold Fred and George for using their Extendable Ears to listen in on an Order meeting. This had been extremely helpful to them discovering that Sirius wasn't dead he had just been found in Hogsmead in his Animagus form. Everyone had thought it had been an illusion until Remus had confirmed it with the on his left ankle in the shape of a crescent moon Remus had given him as boys at Hogwarts on a trip to Hogsmead. Harry was so happy to have his godfather back that he had been writing him constantly asking him what had really happened behind the veil and how he had been pulled back through the other side. Hermione was happy for him she had never seen so happy since the day he found out. Once he found out he had raced to Hogsmead to see him for the first time in two years after the tragic fight in The Department of Mysteries.
