One Last Chance (Harmione Story)

Chapter 1: Holidays End At Last

*Harry's POV

I had spent the summer in the Burrow, since the Dursleys seemed pretty happy to get rid of me last year before the war. They went away and it looked like they had no intention of coming back. I didn't complain, I never really liked them.

I was lost in thought and didn't notice time passing and, when I did, the sun was up and shining through the window. I heard Mrs. Weasley call everyone downstairs to have breakfast.

-Mornin'- said Ron- Hey?! Are you okay?

-Yeah just lost in thought. I didn't sleep that well this night. I guess I'm a bit nervous about going back to Hogwarts.

-Me too. I still can't believe Hermione talked us both into going back.

I recalled the two weeks where Hermione, Ron and I exchanged letters like never before. We decided that yes, we would be going back (mostly Hermione's influence!). Ron's parents didn't want him to go, guess they were scared something would happen to any of us, they couldn't bear to lose another son. But, in the end, the three of us managed to convince them to let us go. It was nice to see that I finally had a family that truly loved me...

Ron called me back to reality, again:

-Hey! You seem a bit distracted today. Is everything alright?

-Yes! Guess it's just everything getting on top of me. The going back to Hogwarts, seeing everyone again. I think the war was such a huge part of my life it's strange to think that it is over, finally...

We started heading downstairs, we passed by Ginny and she gave me a look that could melt stone and walked downstairs without saying a word.

Ron already knew we had broken up. What he didn't know was how much it had affected us. I was still a little sad, after all, we spent a lot of time together, but Ginny.. . She was straight up mad at me. Even though we broke up because SHE had a jealous attack (if this is misspelled please tell me i need help on this one). She said I was only going back to Hogwarts because of Hermione, which was a complete and utter lie.

I was thinking about our break up while we headed downstairs and yes, I felt sad, but I felt mostly relieved, for the whole of the holidays it felt like we grew farther apart with each passing day. I think I didn't love her like I used to, if I ever truly did.

Regardless of our fights, arguments and our failed relationship, me and Ginny were still friends. Just friends now. I guess that her being Ron's sister kept us close.

The last week of the holidays passed by like lightning. When I noticed we were headed for King's Cross to board the train. We we passed through the barrier and there it was, the scarlet steam engine that served as transport to all Hogwarts students...

*Hermione's POV

*Recap*

Only one week until classes restart. Only one week left until I see Harry and Ron again.

The summer seemed frozen, in the Muggle world. I finished all the school work I had left from two years ago in three days into the holidays and that left me with nothing interesting to do for the rest of the summer except exchanging letters with Harry, Ron and the others.

I was smiling, remembering all we talked about during the summer when I was called back to reality by the sound of the door of my room opening:

-Hermione dear, didn't you hear me calling?-my mother asked..

-No. Sorry mom.

-Well then, now you did. Will you come down? Dinner is ready.

-I'll be right there.

Is everything alright?

-Just wandering through memories.

-Okay. Don't take too long or the dinner will get cold.

I had no reason to not go so, I went down with my mother.

Inexplicably, that last week passed by in what seemed like a day. Next thing I know I'm heading to King's Cross to catch the Hogwarts express.

-Hi Hermione! - said two voices behind me after I crossed the barrier, it was Harry and Ron.

-Hi! - I said happily - it's so good to see you both.
