The summer was finally over and she couldn't wait to hit the ground running. She wanted to run as far away as she could and never look back. Hermione Granger had the worst summer of her life; she was humiliated by her ex-boyfriend, found out some life changing news, and experienced many traumatic events and she couldn't wait to forget it all.

Hermione was the first off the train once they reached the platform. Her sixth year was finally over, she had a loving boyfriend, and her family was moving into a new house! "HEY Hermione! Wait up" cried Ginny "hey gin what's up?" "I was just wondering if you wanted to come stay the summer at the burrow?" "Gin you know I would love too but I'm moving. But you are more than welcome to come stay with me once we get settled in" "That would be awesome! And we have so much to talk about!" "Ok I'll let you know as soon as we move in!" they both hugged and went towards their separate families. Hermione was almost to her parents when she heard someone else calling her. "Mione were you going to leave without telling your best friends goodbye?" said Harry "of course not Harry" she said as she turned to face them. "So Mione what are your plans for the summer?" asked Ron "well my family is moving then your sister and I are going to hang out, but after that I'm free! What are you boys doing for the summer?" "Ron and I are hanging out at the burrow" answered Harry "I was hoping my beautiful girlfriend would meet me someday in Hogesmade for lunch or dinner?" said Ron "Oh Ronald you are too much and I will defiantly meet you for dinner after I get settled into my new house!" Hermione replied. They had been dating for a little over three months now. "Well boys I must go my parents are waiting" "alright Hermione. See you around" said Harry. "Goodbye fair maiden" said Ron as he kissed the back of her hand. Hermione couldn't help but giggle as she walked over to her parents and gave them a hug. Then they left for their soon to be old family home. The ride to the house was very calm and uneventful; there was your basic how's life talk but that's about it.

"Hermione darling we left you to pack up your room. We didn't know what you wanted to take and what you wanted to throw out. Be aware of time we are leaving for Wiltshire tomorrow at noon. Please be ready to leave we can't keep your aunt Isabella waiting." Said Anne Granger as the family walked in to the house. "Yes ma'am. I'll be packed and ready to go by tomorrow morning" replied Hermione. "You always were the perfect daughter" said Hermione's dad as Hermione was walking up the stairs to her childhood bedroom. As Hermione was packing she couldn't help but notice that not only did her belongings seem to have multiplied but her parents were acting really strange. And the more she packed the more memories from her childhood came back. It was now around midnight and Hermione had successfully packed all of her clothes and shoes, most of her books and movies, and a few odds and ends. 'Wow' she thought 'where did all this stuff come from! I only have twelve more hours to pack and I still have so much more to pack. I might as well put on some music to help this packing go faster.' Hermione then walked into the bathroom connected to her bedroom and plugged her iPhone into the speakers and randomly selected a song. The song started playing and Hermione decided since she was the only person on the second floor that she was going to jam out. So Hermione is jamming out to Backstreet Boys' If You Want it to be Good Girl and she is singing along as she starts to pack up her bathroom. As she packs she starts to dance as well then she begins to sing. Hermione is having a blast packing, by this point in time it is around three in the morning, so she decides to go down stairs to the kitchen and make her something to snack on and then finish packing. Hermione creeps down the stairs trying not to wake her parents and she quietly walks into the kitchen. Hermione is about to walk over to the counter to grab an apple when she heard her parents having a hushed discussion. "Richard I can't keep living like this" "I know Anne but it's only for a few more hours. Hopefully she will be finished early and we can get back sooner" "I guess that will have to do" Anne said. After hearing this Hermione couldn't help but wonder what her parents had been talking about, she decided to finish packing and ask questions at a more decent hour and headed back up stairs to her room. Hermione had been packing since the scene she overheard in the kitchen her iPhone was still playing and she was still having fun. Hermione had almost all of her belongings packed the only things left were the sentimental things like pictures. As Hermione was walking towards her dresser the song You Make Me Smile by Uncle Kracker came on. 'Perfect song for packing all these pictures' she thought. As she packed memories of the past came flooding back to her. She picked up a picture from the end of her first year of Harry, Ron, and herself and she couldn't help but think of how far their friendship has come. 'I really don't know what I would have done without them these past few years and the boy have grown up so much. Now Ron and I are dating and things have never been more perfect' she thought as she put the pictures of her Hogwarts memories in the box. Next to go in the box was all of her family and pre -Hogwarts pictures and memories. She then picked up a picture of the first beauty pageant she had ever been in and the crown she had won. She couldn't shake the beaming smile or the feeling of accomplishment as she flashed back to last summer. She had two pictures left to pack then she would be completely finished packing. The first picture was of her and her late uncle. Her uncle was lifting her up to get an Easter egg when she was about three. Hermione couldn't remember putting that picture in her room but the memories that the picture sparked were heartbreaking. Her uncle had died at the end of the school year last year. His death had affected her greatly and no one even noticed the change in her usually upbeat personality. Hermione decided that she needed to move one and quickly put the photo in the box. The last picture she picked up was of her, a little blond haired boy, and a little brown haired boy playing in a sandbox when they were about five. Hermione had no memory of this picture but she simply shrugged it off and packed the picture and sealed the box. 'Finally' she thought 'seventeen years of my life packed up and ready to be shipped off.' She started to yawn 'goodness, what time is it? It's only five O'clock I guess I could go to sleep for a little' she thought as she walked over to her bed.

Four hours later Anne walked into her daughter's bedroom. "Hermione darling, are you packed and ready to go?" she asked as she gently shook Hermione awake. "What time is it?" replied a sleepy Hermione. "It's nine in the morning. Are you all packed?" "Yes ma'am" "that's my girl. What time did you get to sleep?" "A few hours ago. But it's whatev I'll just sleep in the car" "ok dear I'll go down and tell your father that you are packed and ready to go, so he can have the movers load your stuff! Oh and Hermione make sure you wear the outfit I laid out for you" "I will mom" Hermione replied as her mother shut the bedroom door. 'That was a little strange' she thought but brushed it off as she went to get dressed. Hermione picked up the sundress her mother had laid out for her and started to get ready to leave. She put her hair up into a pony tail that curled into one ringlet towards the end of her hair. She then took the piece of the hot pink ribbon her mother had also laid out for her. She then put on a tan colored eye shadow and a pink gloss, and all that was left to put on was her dress and shoes. She started to admire the dress as she picked it up to put it on. The dress was a white halter top with a V-shaped neckline, it had a hot pink satin bow around the waist, and from the waist down the dress was sprinkled with chocolate brown, baby pink, hot pink, and rose pink flowers. 'Wow' she thought 'this dress is absolutely beautiful'. She then put on the chocolate brown peep-toe pumps with a love knot on the top that her mother had also left out for her. She then found a note that her mother left for her

'Darling when you are dressed come down for breakfast and your father will take care of all the boxes. Hope you like the dress. ~ Mom'

'Well I guess this is the last time I will ever be in this room again' Hermione thought as she left her room and walked down stairs. As Hermione walked down the steps of the house for the last time she couldn't help but get really excited. She was moving into a new house and she was going to visit Aunt Bella. Hermione started to walk towards where the car usually was but stopped when she noticed it wasn't there "Mom, where is the car?" "Hermione it's at the end of the driveway". Hermione looked to where her mother said the car was and was shocked. "Mom why is there a limo at the end of the driveway?" "How else are we supposed to get to Wiltshire? We can't walk there" "But a limo?" "Hermione just get in the limo and stop asking questions" "yes mother". Hermione got in the limo and they started to drive off "WAIT! Where is Dad?" "Hermione he went on ahead to the estate. Now what did I say about asking questions" "I'm sorry mother" and with that they were on their way to their new home.
