Hermione's POV

It's been four and half weeks now since we got our letters. Everyone in the wizarding world now know's Harry and I were paired together. It was all over the papers after his and Ron's fight a couple weeks ago. It was an article by Rita Skeeter. So we turned her in for being a illegal animagus, she is now serving time in Azkaban.

After being question under the influence of a truth serum. It was discovered she'd been an animagus since 1985. That's 13 years, which became her sentence. Though she does have a chance of early parole after the first five years. She is now fully registered as an animagus, now she won't be able to spy on people anymore.

Ron now ignores Harry and I. Giving us both the silent treatment. Focusing on his training. Harry is doing well with his training. Not just in dueling, but every skill required to be an auror. I am proud of him.

Anyway, it's time for me to return to Hogwarts. It feels strange going back with Harry and Ron. But I'll have Ginny and Neville. Along with some other friends. Harry is seeing me off with Teddy and the Weasleys. My parents had to leave after dropping me off as mum hasn't been feeling well recently. So dad has taken her to the doctors for a check up.

"You got all your books?" Mrs Weasley asks me.

"Yes, Mrs Weasley" I assure her.

"Your wand?" Harry asks.

"Always" I say with a smile. "Ron" I say surprised when I see him heading our way. "I'm glad you're here" I state.

"It doesn't mean anything" he grumbles. "You never came to get your things" he states handing me a bag.

"Oh, thank you" I say.

"Anyway I gotta get back to the ministry, bye" he says. Before leaving.

"Well that's a little progress at least" Harry states.

"He'll come around" Ginny assures us. "I see Blaise, see you at Christmas mum and dad" she says before leaving us. I say goodbye to the Weasleys and they leave. As the ten minute whistle blows.

"You promise to write?" I ask Harry.

"Of course, every day" he tells me and I chuckle.

"You don't have to write everyday" I assure him. "Once or twice a month is fine" I state. He gives me a small smile. "Take good care of Teddy, study hard and good luck with your drivers test" I tell him.

"I'll pass that, then be able to drive us to your parents for Christmas" he states.

"I'm sure you will, just no confunding the driving instructor" I tell him.

"You confund people, not me" he reminds me and we laugh. Remembering when I confunded Cormac during his quidditch tryout. "Study hard, but remember to have fun" he tells me.

"I'm sure Ginny will make sure I don't spend my whole time in the library" I assure him.

"Good, because I asked her too" he states.

"I'm not that bad" I tell him.

"Do I have to remind you of our third year?" he asks me.

"I was taking every subject then" I retort. He chuckles. "Besides, you weren't complaining when we spent all that time in the library in our fourth year" I state.

"I never did thank you and Ron for that" he states. He hugs me. "Thanks Hermione, for help the help from over the years" he says. I smile returning the hug.

"You're welcome, and besides it's what friends are for" I state. The five minute whistle goes. "I have to go, but I'll owl the date of the first Hogsmeade weekend. It should be around Halloween" I tell him.

"I will try to make it, if not I'll owl you" he tells me. He help me get my trunk onto the train. I wave good bye and go to the prefect carriage. I see Neville already there.

"Hey Neville, congrats" I tell him.

"Thanks, you too" he states. "I left my things with Luna" he adds.

"How are you guys?" I ask him.

"We're friends now, we were both paired up with different people" he tells me. "I was actually paired with Hannah from Hufflepuff" he states.

"Wow, and Luna?" I ask.

"A Rolf Scamander, grandson of Newt Scamander. Author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" he states.

"I beat Luna was thrilled" I state.

"She was" he says with a chuckle. "She went to America to meet him. He is a few years older then us and went to Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Like his grandmother did" he states. "He is a magizoologist like his grandfather was" he adds.

"I'm sure he and Luna will be very happy together" I state. "What about you and Hannah?" I ask.

"We're friends, we are going to use this year to get to know each other better. Before marrying after school" he states. "She is going to work at the Leaky Cauldron while studying to be a healer. She won't become one though until our first child is in school" he adds.

"Which will be around 2014" I state and he nods his head. The train begins to move. We sit down and are soon joined by all the prefects. "Welcome, I'm Hermione and I am head girl" I tell them.

"I'm Neville, head boy" Neville adds.

"Of course you both were made head boy and head girl" Pansy Parkinson sneers.

"We decided it'd be best if one of the older prefects trained the new ones for the first month. Draco you've been paired with Astoria" I state.

"Thanks Granger" he says with a smile.

"I'm training Romilda" I add.

"Hannah, you're with Elizabeth" Neville says.

"Tony, with Lucas" I say. This continues until all new fifth year prefects were paired up with an older student. We then go over the patrol routes. Then gave prefects letters with the passwords to their houses. Before dismissing them.

I then go with Neville and Hannah to Luna's compartment. Ginny is there with Blaise. "He wanted to meet my friends" Ginny tells us. "Blaise, this is Hermione and Neville" she says.

"Hi, this is my partner Hannah" Neville says shaking Blaise's hand.

"It's nice to meet you all" Blaise states. "Hermione, I never thanked you and the other two for saving Draco & I. So thank you" he says.

"It's fine, it was the right thing to do" I tell him.

"After what happened that day, it made me really think about my life and the choices I've made. Made Draco think too. We both want to be better then our anscetors, we want to fix Slytherins image" he states.

"I'm sure you will" Hannah assures him. "It only takes one person to make a difference. With you both setting a good example. By the time our kids start, they may actually be proud to be in slytherin" she states. He smiles.

The train ride was uneventful. Neville and I along with the prefects. Made sure the first years got to Hagrid. Who was alone, apparently Fang isn't doing so good. I promised to visit after the feast. Then join the others at the carriages and rode one to Hogwarts.

After the first years were sorted. We enjoyed our feast. Then Professor McGonagall introduced our new Transfiguration professor, Muggle Studies Professor and Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor. Professor Tutley is our new Transfiguration teacher. Professor Sikander came out of retirement to teach Muggle Studies again. Professor Williamson, was an auror and retired after the war. Now teaches Defense Against the Dark Arts and is head of Gryffindor House. Professor Flitwick is now Deputy Headmaster.

After the feast I went to see Hagrid as promised. Fang does not look good at all. But he is an old boy. Going no 15, which is pretty old for a dog of his breed. Anyway, afterwards I went on patrol with Romilda. Then called it a night after writing a letter to Harry about Fang.
