Disclaimer: I do not own you, dear Harry Potter series. With your exciting tales of magic and wonder, I can only try to add to you a bit, even though I never own it all. JK Rowling, such a wonderful author you are, that I cannot help but try to compare to you. I own none of your things dear JKR, I just write and read from afar.

"Hermione! Are you ready?" Dad called out from downstairs.

My eyes glanced around my half-empty room. The past week had flown by and I was about to leave the house that I had called 'home' since I was a child to go to my new home. It was a weird feeling, leaving all that I had known in my life to be true to go off with my Professor-turned-Dad. I picked Crookshanks up from my bare bed, holding him securely in my arms as one of the last things that had not changed for me.

"What do you say, Crooks? Are you ready to go to our new home with Dad?" I asked my dear Crookshanks absent-mindedly. After having received a 'mreow' as a reply, I smiled a tired half-sad smile, taking a last look around the room. "I'll take that as a yes then," I said, turning and walking out of my room, closing the door to it, and perhaps even closing the door on that part of my life.

"I'm coming!" I called, walking down the stairs.

"You will take good care of her, won't you Severus? We care so much about her," I heard my mother say to Dad.

"She means more to me than life itself. Rest assured that she will be taken good care of," I heard him reply and I smiled.

"I'm ready," I said when I was at the bottom of the stairs. Dad, my mother, and my father turned to see me and Dad smiled. I put Crookshanks down and rushed over to hug my mother and my father.

"Don't worry, I promises to write and I'll make sure not to get into too much trouble this school year," I said when I pulled back, a laugh in my voice.

"You'd better keep us updated. Lot's of letters, you hear," my father said, wagging his finger at me.

"Of course," I said smiling.

"You know, I'm going to miss my two little fur balls," my mother said, hugging me with a laugh and then leaning down to scratch Crookshanks behind the ear. I looked over at Dad over my shoulder. He smiled and I turned back to my other parents.

"I guess that we should...um...you know, go," I said with a final sigh as I picked up Crookshanks.

And with a final half hug to the both of them, Dad and I left the house going into an out of sight place and with a Pop we Disapparated home.

Ah, and with that I leave you chapter five. Thanks Violet44, Murgy31, Readerforlife, Isadora120, M to the 5th Power, and jessirose85 for your reviews on chapter 4. I hope that you all enjoyed this chapter and will continue reviewing. Oh, and if you want to put in what you might want to see in the future chapters, go ahead. I don't really have it all planed out yet. Though, there is a twist coming up that you might not expect. TTFN! I hope to see your inputs.
