"Hermione, honey, you're going to be late!" Hermione's mom called from down the stairs.

"I know mom, I know! My hair just won't get tame, that's all!"

"I'm giving you five minutes 'Mione and that's it."

Hermione ran through her room applying a little bit of anything she could get her hands on. "UGH!" Hermione moaned in displeasure. There was no way she could get herself to look presentable today. Over the last 3 weeks, Hermione became a little bit more involved with her looks. She attempted to and succeeded in making her hair calm. Today, it just wasn't cooperating. She was still the same bookworm Hermione, though. "Coming mom!" she yelled in defeat.

She stopped in front of the mirror to put on some lip-gloss, and to give herself a check. In front of her, she saw a girl in denim capris and a pink tank top. Being somewhat satisfied with her appearance, she ran out the door.

An hour later, her family car was parked outside the Burrow. "Ah, my home away from home!" thought Hermione happily.

"Coming dear?" Hermione's dad asked.

"Oh, of course," Hermione said shaking her head. She ran to catch up to her parents and knocked on the door. Ginny opened the door and started to squeal.

"Hermione! You look wonderful! It's so good to see you. Come in. Come in! Oh, hi Mr. and Mrs. Granger!" she added as an after thought.

"Hello dear!"

"Ron and Harry are waiting for you! They didn't know when you would get here!" Ginny said smiling.

"I'm only 10 minutes late Gin." Hermione said consulting her watch.

"I know, but still! Oi Mom! Hermione is here!"

"Hermione, dear, it is so wonderful to see you!" Mrs. Weasley said with a welcoming hug. "Hello Ellen, Miles!"

"Hello Molly!" Hermione's mom and dad replied.

"Bye Mom, dad! I'll see you at Christmas. I promise to write you!" Hermione said giving a hug and a kiss to both of her parents.

"Bye sweetheart. Have a great year!" her parents called and walked out the door.

Hermione then followed Ginny outside to where everyone was playing Quidditch. "Hey guys!" Hermione called.

The game stopped and everybody turned around. Harry and Ron flew down and gave Hermione a huge hug! "Hey 'Mione!" Ron said.

"Hello Hermione!" Harry said quietly.

"Are you okay Harry?" Hermione asked nervously.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Harry, you know its best to talk out your-" Hermione started.

"See you haven't changed Granger!" Fred said from behind Hermione.

"FRED!" Hermione yelled giving him a huge hug. "How are you? How's the joke shop?"

"I'm good. The joke shop is going great!"

"That's good to hear! Where's George?"

"Right here! Hey Hermione!" George came up from behind her as well and lifted her up into a hug.

"George! Wow, you've gotten strong!" He put her down and she got a good look at him. He changed drastically since the last time she had seen him. He was tan, built and he wasn't wearing a shirt. She instantly blushed and looked down.

"Don't worry! George'll put his shirt back on. He's hideous isn't he?" Fred asked amused.

"Gruesome," Hermione squeaked in a small voice.

'This was going to be one long summer!'
