chapter one - The war is over

The owl elegantly flew through the open kitchen window landing gracefully on the table a letter in its grasp. Handing the pure white owl a treat she detached the letter and sent the owl on its way. 

brushing a stray curl to one side she examined the envelope, the stamp on its back she recognised though couldn't remember whose it was, sighing she opened and began reading the letter

Dear miss granger, 

You are hereby invited to redo your 7th year at hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, 

as a result of the war we have a new lesson I shall explain more when the term starts. I look forward to seeing you. 

headmistress McGonagall.

Closing the letter she leaned back in her chair and started making small circular motions on her temples, should she go back? What would it be like to be back in the castle everyone had lost so much at? Awkward. Nostalgic. heartbreaking. Images of the years she'd spent there flashed through her mind. She opened her eyes and decided to think about it later. 

As her spoon was halfway to her mouth a rather odd looking owl flew in crashing into her bowl, its dirt brown feathers sticking out of place, startled she watched the owl in surprise as it found its way out of the bowl and back on solid ground (well, the table) it hooted happily as she handed it a treat, this is Rons owl she thought as she detached the letter and sent the owl on its clumsy way. 

She opened the letter and paced as she read

Hermione, I'm sorry I cant do this anymore, this isn't working for me even after all we've been through I think of you more as a sister but there was all the pressure of everyone saying we should get together, I wanted to make it work but I feel suffocated. I'm sorry, its over. 

Ron.

she had stopped pacing by this point. He was breaking up with her, after all they'd been through and by owl no less! like a sister!?  

Hermione flopped onto the elegant cream sofa she and ginny had chosen the week she moved into the apartment, she couldn't go home like everyone else for obvious reasons, harry had offered her a place with him but there were numerous reasons she had said no, one of them being how awkward his moments with ginny would be with her there, she appreciated it though. Standing back up and beginning to walk evidently moodily to the bathroom she noticed something glinting at her from the table, striding over she picked it up and carefully examined it, it was the head girl badge, hermione smiled faintly, she'd wanted this since first year but right now could not find the emotion or energy to be happy, she placed it back on the table and carried on with her trip to the bathroom. 

After getting washed and dressed she thought about her plans for the day, she had invited luna to come to the muggle world and experience the differences, switching on the radio and turning the volume up she decided it was time to take control of her emotions, it was time for change, this year she would be different, stronger, and never again so naive.  

Hermione was great at dancing, but it was hard to find a decent dance partner in the wizarding world, she didnt even turn the music off as she danced out of the door to meet Luna.
