HERMIONE'S POV

A few weeks later, it was the day of the journey to Hogwarts, as Ron did not come home after two days Mrs. Weasley sent a letter to him asking where he was, and he then explained that he was staying at Lavender's. What nerve! The whole Weasley family and Harry were disgusted by this, at the fact he got so quickly over me, but I didn't care, he wasn't my problem anymore. It was that idiot Lavender's problem now.

I stared at myself in the mirror I had in mine and Ginny's room. I had changed and anyone could see that. For starters my bushy mane was now long enough that it sat just below my shoulders and was straight until it reached the bottom where my hair would spiral down in louse curls. I had grown into my body and I was a lot taller now. My eyes still milk chocolate brown and were happier now that I was going to Hogwarts; my real home. I was also glad I didn't have buck teeth anymore; after Malfoy had enlarged them Madam Pomprfy used a potion that would shrink them again however they shrank further then their normal size and were perfectly sized and straight. Over all I didn't think I was ugly but I knew she wasn't beautiful which I didn't mind. I decided in the morning that it would be easier to put on my robes now then have to do it on the train. Carefully placing the Head girl badge over my heart I then realised that HG for Head Girl were also the initials for Hermione Granger, I laughed at this think that it is sort of a badge that would identify me. The thing that has recently caught my mind is that who would be Head Boy. Hoping at first it was Harry which it then turned out not to be was a shock. I went through in my head all the suitable guys who would match the part of being head boy. I had gotten a few ideas on who it might be but I just didn't know.

Hours later Ginny, Harry, Luna and Neville and I were sitting in a carriage. Luna and Ginny were having a weird discussion about nargles. As Luna explained what they were I zoned out. I knew for a fact Harry and Neville Were talking about quidditch soon going onto future jobs. Harry had decided he had, had enough of fighting the dark side so instead of being an aurora he's going to apply for the D.A.D.A. teacher at Hogwarts. I was thrilled by this because I am going to apply for the Transfiguration teachers spot which Professor McGonagall had mentioned to me a few times. Due to the fact that she is now a Headmistress she cannot also teach so she told me about the position available next year and I've got Heart set on it.

I was soon shaken awake by Ginny who said that we had arrived. I got up, straightened my robes and made sure I looked presentable. The carriage ride down to the castle felt like it took forever. It didn't help the fact that not only could everyone see the thestrials now but Lavender and Ron share a carriage with the group. Harry told Neville about the incident while I was asleep and he felt the same way Harry did. I had helped Neville so many times that Neville and I also became like brother and sister however there bond was as strong as with the one she shared with Harry. Ginny had done the same thing and had told Luna. Harry, Neville, Ginny, Luna and I were family in their minds. With the exception that Harry was dating Ginny meaning that made Ginny and Luna my sisters in laws because as I found out, Luna is dating my Sort of brother Neville and I couldn't be happier for them. They were so cute together, awww!

Harry and Neville looked at Ron like they were about to punch him to death and Luna and Ginny look as if they were about to do something evil to Lavender. I was quite amused by it all really and luckily for 'Won-Won' and 'Lav-Lav' we arrived at the castle. The castle looked the same as always and it doesn't even show a scratch from the war. Everyone filed into the Great Hall, a lot of faces were disturbed, only a year ago, this room was full of the injured or the dead. Everyone took a seat at their represented house tables. I couldn't help but remember my first year when everything wasn't so complicated and all we had to worry about was Snape. I felt a pang in my chest at the memory of Snape, he was rude and arrogant but he was one of the best teachers I have ever had. And Professor McGonagall, the new Headmistress took the post. I had zoned out throughout the whole speech and the sorting hat. Thinking of how Dumbledor had once stood there and that this room used to be full of people who would laugh and chat happily now everyone just sat there in silence and looked down. I was brought back into reality when I noticed food appear in front me. Good, I was starving. I knew then and there that this year was going to be long but it is going to be great.
