Hermione was getting ready to leave to go to the burrow, she was exited to start a new school year but scared with Voldemort being at large, Hermiones bedroom was quite small but she loved it, she had pictures of her, Harry and Ron in picture frames on her desk, she looked down at the Daily profit, the front cover showed 'Muggle family murdered', Hermione rolled the paper up and threw it into her little bin in the corner of her bedroom, Hermione grabbed her bags and carried them downstairs into her Living room.

"Hermione dear, are you sure you are safe going to school with...you know who being at large?" Hermiones dad asks as Hermione gives a little smile, When Hermione came home after her first year she told her parents everything to know about the Wizarding world, she even told then she was best friends with Harry Potter and who Voldemort was, however after 5th year Her parents were negative about letting her go back to school next year.

Hermione picks up her bags and makes her way over to the fireplace "I'm sure I'll be alright Dad, Hogwarts is very safe, I promise I will be alright" Hermione says getting into the fireplace.

"Make sure that Malfoy boy doesn't bother you again" Hermiones mum says as Hermione nods.

"I'll see you guys at Christmas" Hermione says "The burrow" Hermione says as flames appear, the next second she was inside the burrow.

Hermione steps out the fireplace and puts her bags down, the burrow was quite quiet, she looks at her watch to see the time being 5:30pm, she's guessing they are having dinner, Hermione makes her way to the kitchen and sees all the Weasleys and Harry but Mr Weasley as he was working.

"Hermione great to see you, sorry didn't hear you come in, have something to eat" Molly says getting Hermione a plate, Hermione sits down next to Fred.

"how's your Parents?" Ron asks Hermione as he takes a bite of a Yorkshire pudding "My father didn't want me coming back as he thought it was to dangerous, while my mother believed I am able to fight if anything does happen" Hermione says taking some vegetables from the plate in the middle of the table.

"well to make everything better, our shop is officially opening on Saturday, you guys can pop along and visit us anytime" George says "that's great news Guys" Harry says.

After Hermione finished unpacking she noticed the time was 11:35pm, Ginny was still awake as she was helping Hermione unpack though she thought everyone else was asleep since no one was making any noice "I'm going to get a drink, want anything?" hermione asks Ginny as she shakes her head.

Hermione makes her way down the stairs but stops as she hears the front door opening "finally what took you so long" Hermione hears Mrs Weasley say, Crookshanks can be heard purring downstairs against the warm fireplace.

"Hermione is Here is she..?" Mr Weasley says looking over at Crookshanks "yes she arrived this afternoon, what's the problem?" Mrs Weasley says.

"I had to work late because...well I can't speak of it right now, Fred and George might be using their pranks to hear us but you will hear about it in the daily Profit" Mr Weasley says as Hermione started to walk into the kitchen.

"sorry to bother, can I get a drink? I'm thirsty from all the unpacking I did" Hermione asks Mrs Weasley as she nods and gives Hermione some water.

"Hermione dear, how are you?" Mr Weasley says "I'm doing well, just hoping Harry will be okay this year" Hermione says drinking her water with Crookshanks sitting next to her feet

"he will be fine as long as Dumbledore is around" Mr Weasley says as Hermione nods and walks back to her room she shared with Ginny

"she will be devastated tomorrow" Mr Weasley says only to be hit by a tea towel "tell me now" Mrs Weasley says
"it's her parents, they have been murdered" Mr Weasley says "when?" Mrs Weasley asks "9:47pm" Mr Weasley says "oh my goodness, she will be devastated, I hope she finds out from the daily profit and we don't have to tell her" Mrs Weasley says.

The next day come by fast, Hermione was Happy she got a good night sleep, it was 9am, Hermione walks downstairs and greets everyone while sitting down in her normal seat next to Fred "so last night we decided we won't be receiving the daily Profit anymore" Mr Weasley says "why's that?" Ron asks "Voldemort can track us" Mr Weasley says coming up with an excuse "I was thinking we should visit diagon ally tomorrow as also see your new shop boys" Mrs Weasley says "great" George says.

The next day, The Weasleys, Harry and Hermione went to diagon ally, it was more quiet then it normally is, most busiest shop was Fred and George's joke shop "is that Draco Malfoy?" Ron says his eyes looking into the distances, Hermione and Harry room in Rons direction to see Draco Malfoy with a woman with blond hair, they seemed to be heading towards Knockturn ally.

"Come on" Harry says walking to where Draco was "Harry we shouldn't get involved in their business" Hermione says but Harry ignored her and kept walking, they enter Knockturn ally and end up at Borgin and Burke's.

"Harry please we-" "look" Harry says interrupting Hermione, Draco Malfoy was standing next to a big wardrobe, many people in the shop Hermione recognised from the daily Profit, When Draco was alone, Hermione could of sweared he locked eyes with her in seconds, but he didn't say anything so she pretended like nothing happened.
