Diagon Alley

Hermione's pov

"Hermione , come down for breakfast."

I tore my gaze away from the window and answered, "Coming mum."

It's been months since the wizarding war and peace had returned once more. I had found my parents in Australia and managed to return their memories. Although it was a hard task it wasn't absolutely impossible. I am just thankful that I was able to do it. They still haven't completely forgiven me yet, but, they understand why I did what I did.

Harry moved into Sirius's house which now legally belonged to him but he does spend a lot of time at the Weasley's .

Fred's death took a toll on all of us and it took time for us to move on and accept it. Unsurprisingly, George got hit the hardest. He shut himself in his room after Fred's funeral and still hasn't come out of the room and refuses to talk to anyone.

Harry still blames himself for every death in the war no matter how many times everyone tells him otherwise. Maybe it'll take time for him to come out of that guilt.

I walk downstairs and help my mum with setting the table.

"Goodmorning sweetheart" wishes my father as he comes down and sits himself at the table.

"Goodmorning dad" I reply back.

During breakfast I start," Mum, dad, I received my Hogwarts letter yesterday for the last year there. After breakfast I will be meeting Harry and the Weasleys at diagon alley to buy books , parchments and other things for the coming year."

" Ofcourse dear, just stay safe and keep us updated, alright? Don't hide anything from us. We love you, you know that." My mum replied.

"Yes mum ", I said standing up and grabbing my purse "I love you too " I replied before apparating to diagon alley.

Once there I look around for a while before finding two familiar red heads and a black haired boy coming out of madam Malkin's . I rush towards them with a smile on my face as they turn around to greet me with grins of their own.

"Mione .... !" They all said at once.

" Hi Mione .... Good to see you" Harry said giving her a hug. " "Hi Harry" , I said returning the hug. Then I greeted the Weasley siblings Ron and Ginny.

Me and Ron had talked about the kiss we shared and came to the conclusion that the love we shared was more platonic then romantic. It was for the best.

" Ok ..Mione, me and Harry already got our robes so give us your books list and we will go to flourish and blotts to buy the books and parchments." Ron said.

" Ok Ron , here . " I replied handing him my list.

....................................................

After all the shopping we sat down, eating ice-cream, while catching up with each other. It felt nice, just like the old times.

"Mione , what do you think about this year ?" Ginny asked.

" Honestly I just want it to be a normal year for once and focus absolutely on my studies and grades." I replied.

" Normal year sounds rather nice but I hope we won't get too many tasks. I would rather spend my time on the Quidditch field. " Ron said with a serious face, with Harry and Ginny nodding with huge grins on their faces.

I chuckled a little. Harry and Ginny were finally together,not that it wasn't obvious , and still going strong .

I felt happy and content and hoped for a normal but fun year .

I didn't know how amiss my wish was going to be answered.
