Hermione Granger ran a brush through her bushy hair. It was a Saturday Morning, and not one she'd been looking forward to. Today was the day she was moving out. Out into the real world, away from the protection of her parents. She was defiantly looking forward to this.

She'd bought a flat a week ago and had gotten a bit of furniture. For the rest of the week she'd been packing her stuff and moving it. Today was the official day for her to move in to it.

"Hermione!" Her father called "Breakfast is on the table."

Hermione smiled and finished pampering herself. She rushed into the kitchen, and grabbed bacon, eggs and toast to put on her plate.

She sat down at the table next to her mom and began to eat. It felt like a regular old day, but it wasn't.

"Are you all packed?" Her mother asked with tears in her eyes.

Hermione nodded "I'm ready to leave."

Her mother stood up and gave her a big hug, her father did the same. Hermione waved goodbye as she flued to her new home.

It was quiet. The silence was killing her, Harry and Ron were supposed to have come over an hour ago, but they hadn't showed up. You'd think after 9 years of being best friends they'd have the decency to show up, but they hadn't. Then she heard a knock on the door. Hermione rushed to open the door and found Ginny looking down at her.

"Hi Hermione!" She said happily and invited herself in. "I love your flat."

"Where's Harry and Ron?" Hermione asked.

Ginny sighed "Well, know that they're in their second year of auror training they are being sent on missions and such"

Hermione nodded.

"They were called in to go on a short one." Ginny said quickly, "But I'm here! Exactly when I'm supposed to be!"

"You're an hour late!" Hermione complained.

"What? No I'm not!" Ginny countered.

"Yes you are." Hermione argued.

"No." Ginny said firmly "I got here at exactly 12 o' clock pm."

"It's one." Hermione sighed.

"One? No it's- … One. Huh, I probably shouldn't have stopped for that coffee…"

"Probably." Hermione replied as Ginny whacked her forehead.

She looked up at Hermione "I'm so sorry, you must hate me- well, us, for making you wait so long." She smiled weakly "Sorry."

Hermione sighed. "It's okay."

Ginny grinned "So, what do you say to eating?"

Ginny and Hermione laughed as they eat their supper.

Ginny sighed "Sometimes Harry can be so stupid."

Hermione nodded with a bit of a laugh. "I know, I know."

"Well, I've got…"

"Isn't it great!" Hermione spun around at the sound of someone else speaking.

"…So I'll see- Hermione, What are you doing?"

"Shh!" Hermione hissed at the younger woman as she listened for someone else to speak.

"We've got our own flat!"

"I've had one before."

"Not with me!"

"Well, obviously."

The voices faded away. "Did you hear that?"

Ginny cocked an eyebrow "Um…What was I supposed to hear?"

Hermione turned to her. "You didn't hear anything?"

The red-head looked apologetic "Sorry."

Hermione nodded and tried to forget it. "So, what were you saying?"

"I've got to go." Ginny said "Sorry but it's getting pretty late and I've got a bit of paperwork to do. See you later." Ginny put on her shoes and coat as she walked out the door.

Hermione looked around searching for whatever had made those voices. Nothing was there. She sighed and walked into her room for her first night in her new house. She fell asleep within the next 10 minutes.

I put this story up a bit ago, but never quite got to finishing it. I've changed a lot of it, espically after the fourth chapter. Although, this chapter's pretty much the same as before. So, if you recognize this, it's because I took it down before.
