In my last post I told you how: Ron, Sarah, Scorpius and I have restarted Dumbledore's Army (or the D.A.) at school because being the kids of Voldemort's destroyers and (in Scorpius's case) former Death Eaters, we felt that our Defense Against the Dark Arts lessons are not enough to protect ourselves (we sometimes call our selves The Order of the Phoenix In-Training). But great was my surprise when they all elected ME as leader! I think it was because I was the only Animagnus at the time. Now most of us are Animangus and our forms are:
Me = Cat
Ron = Jack Russel Terrier Dog
Sarah = Doe
Scorpius = Fox
James = Beetle
Albus = Wolf
Rose = Fawn
LuLu (Really Luna II Uncle George's oldest daughter) = Rabbit
Teddy = Well he is a Metamorphagus so any animal really.
The D.A./tOoftP(I-T) has been such a great help against people such as Daisy Goyle, The Blaise brothers, and other Slytherins (and sometimes Professor Slughorn to make his parties more, shall we say... Entertaing)
The Room of Requirement has been such an awesome help (and so has James's Map of Hogwarts and my Invisibility Cloak), its always stocked with books about Jinxes and Countercurses. Those of us whose Animagnus forms can blend in with surroundings of Hogwarts get to the Room of Requirement that way and the rest either go under the Cloak or (in the case of the Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws that are in the D.A.) give Filch the grumpy caretaker a Fainting Fancie in disguise.
Every meeting we usually first take a vote on what to practice (we are currently practicing Nonverbal Jinx, Hexes and Shield Charms.) then get into partners and practice. Then towards the end of the meeting everyone can take some books back to their dormitories until the next meeting.
Go to go Dumbledore's Army time!

A trip to Diagon Alley
Today my family went to Diagon Alley for a day out and about. When we arived at the Leaky Cauldron my best friends Sarah Longbottom and Scorpius Malfoy were waiting for me.
"Hey Hermione!" Sarah called from where she was sitting chatting to Scorpius and a couple of goblins. "Hello Mione." Scorpius said.
"Hey Sarah! Hiya Scorp!" I said coming over to them. The goblins looked kind of annoyed as I sat down, because they still remember that it was my father who practicaly destroyed Gingotts during his hunt for Voldemort's Horcruxes. "Good morning Goruk, Eiric, Olaf." I said politely to the goblins but only getting a grunt in return.
"So where are you kids off to first?" Sarah's dad Neville Longbottom said handing each of us a free bottle of butterbeer. "Florish and Blotts!" I said. "Weasley's Wizard Wheezes!" Sarah exclaimed. "Knockturn Alley!" Scorpius said. We all stared at him. "Only joking!" He laughed. "Hermione, sorry to take sides but I'm with Sarah, lets go to your uncle's joke shop first." "Okay, perhaps Arnold would like say to hi mum." I joked pointing to the Pygmy Puff on my shoulder that Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione gave me for Christmas.
After getting permission from oiur parents (they were going to various shops to get some new school supplies for us), we headed down the alley sipping our butterbeers, our cloaks drawn agaioolnst the wind. We turned a cornor and there it was: bright lights liluminating the sign -WEASLEY'S WIZARDS WHEEZES- and everlasting fireworks going off in the windows around my favorite advertisment:

WHY ARE YOU WORRYING ABOUT
YOU-KNOW-WHO?
YOU SHOULD BE WORRYING ABOUT
U-NO-POO
THE CONSTIPATION SENSATION THATS SWEEPING THE NATION!!!
"I tried that stuff on Father once. It had very interesting results!" Scorpius said as Sarah and I disolved into giggles imaginning Draco Malfoy after a dose of U-No-Poo.
When we entered the shops all sorts of bangs, whizes and squeals of excitment filled our ears. "Ah, customers! Have a free Love Potion." My Uncle George said trusting a Love Potion into a blushing Scorpius's hand. "As long as you don't use it on these two" Uncle George said pointing to Sarah and me and making poor Scorpius go crimison. "Hermione! Lovely to see you again! Is that a Pygmy Puff? And whats the lad's name? Did my pathetic assistant of a brother give it to you?" He said pointing at Uncle Ron who waved from where he was demostrating what a Nosebleed Nougat does to a delighted groups of Hufflepuff second-years. "Yes he did, and his name is Arnold." I said laughing as Uncle Ron tried to eat the part of the Nosebleed Nougat that would make the nosebleed to way, through a heavy nosebleed.
"Well, well, well. if it isn't Potter, Longbottom and Malfoy." A cold voice said behind us. We whipped around to find Daisy Goyle standing in the doorway with her gang of Slytherin third-year girls. "Oh hello Daisy!" Sarah said taking a sweet out of her pocket. "Fancy a sweet?" Of course fat Daisy whipped the candy out of her hand faster than you can say STUPID and gobbled it up. Suddenly we heard a gagging noise and Daisy's tongue was suddenly over a foot long! "Sarah! Was that a Ton-Tongue-Toffe?" I asked while trying to breathe because I was laughing so hard. "Yup. Lets make our purchases and get out of her before her sumo-wrestler of a dad comes in and sits on us!" Scorpius was starting at Sarah with a look of mock horror on his face. "Sarah! Her dad will beat me up next time he comes to one of my dad's Pure-Bloods Only paries!" "Oh come on Scorpius are you a Gryffindor or not?" "Of course I am! Even if my parents wish I wasn't!" "Well then go to the Sorting Hat and...." "Oh stop bickering you two, or else I'll put and Eatible Dark Mark in your butterbeer!" I said as I examined a box of Extendable Ears (I like use them in Ron's room when he friends are over ;)). "Oooooooh look! George has created more Defense Against the Dark Arts stuff!" Sarah exclaimed. "Lets get some for when Dumbledore's Army starts again."
Ron, Sarah, Scorpius and I have restarted Dumbledore's Army (or the D.A.) at school because being the kids of Voldemort's destroyers and (in Scorpius's case) former Death Eaters, we felt that our Defense Against the Dark Arts lessons are not enough to protect ourselves (we sometimes call our selves The Order of the Phoenix In-Training).

Teddy = Well he is a Metamorphagus so any animal really.
(I'll do another post about this just in case you can't be bothered to read this big LONG post.) But back to the story.
Sarah, Scorpius and I selected: Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder, Shield Cloaks, and several copies of: So You Want to Learn Advanced Jinxes. Lulu rang us put and since they are for the D.A. we get a special discount (FREE). "So whens the D.A. starting up again Hermione?" LuLu asked. She is my favorite cousin and one of my best friends. "I was thinking maybe the third day of school but I'll let you know tonight when you come for the New Year party." "Okay sound good. I'd come with you all, but Dad says I've got to help out today." "Can we help?" Sarah asked. LuLu brightned. "Sure! There is aprons in the back. Hermione your in charge of Pygmy Puff adoption. Sarah Defense Against the Dark Arts stuff, and Scorpius the Wonder Witch stuff." Scorpius groaned "Can I PLEASE be in charge of the Skiving Snackboxes?" "Nope." Good old LuLu knows what everyone should do and how to get them to do it.
And well that was my trip to Diagon Alley

Christmas
On Christmas morning I woke up to find my stocking full, and our house-elves Winky and Kreacher, standing near it staring at me.
"Merry Christmas Mistress Hermione!" Winky squeaked excitedly. I've asked them loads of times not to call me Mistress Hermione but they always forget. "Morning Miss Hermione." Kreacher said with a weird half grin on his face.
"Merry Christmas to you too!" I said handing each of them a small package. Winky's contained a little Christmas dress and Kreacher's some patterned socks.
"Oh thank you Miss Mione!!" Winky squealed, her eyes brimming with happy tears. Kreacher mumbled something that sounded like a strained thanks and the two elves left to start making Christmas Breakfast.
BANG! My door flew open knocking me down. "HERMIONE WAKE..... Oh woops. Um, what are you doing on the floor?" My twin brother Ron (the second) asked looking worries (he is annoyingly protective of me). "You just pushed me down you oaf!" "Oh sorry! Hey lts look in our stockings before Mum and Dad wake up and tell us we can't eat anything before breakfast."
We hurriedly sat on my bed and dumped the contents of our stockings onto it. Mine consited of Chocolate Frogs, a Flourish and Blotts gift certificate, a Licorice Wand, Cauldron Cakes and some Muggle Sweets. Ron's had pretty much the same but with a gift certificate to a Quidditch Supply store instead.
BAM! My little brother James and Albus came in with little Lily at their heels. Each was clutching a stocking and Albus had a Pumpkin Pastie in his mouth, and Lily was shoving a handfull of Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans into her mouth.
"Come on! Lets go wake Mum and Dad up!" James said, his face glowing with excitement.
Its a Potter tradition started when Ron and I were two, that every Christmas that we kids go running into Mum and Dad's room and make as much noise as we can trying to wake them up.
10 minutes later........
"Okay, lets see James heres one for you, and Albus here you go, and wheres Lily? Oh there you are sweetheart. Mione... Ron... And last but certainly not least Ginny." Dad said giving each of us a present.
"WOW!" Ron said ripping open his revealing a Nimbus Two Thousand Racing Broom. "Only the best for Gryffindor's new Keeper!" Dad exclaimd(which was exactly what he said to me last year when I became Gryffindor House's new Seeker).
James gasped and held up our dad's magical map of Hogwarts called the Maurader's Map. "For your little mischief, I here you've been getting up too." Dad said with a twinkle in his eye. "But DONT use it to sneak out at night!" Mum added with a Weasley glare in her eye.
Lily got a little toy broomstick and Albus was given a Omnoculars ("For your Magical Birds watching").
I opened my present slowly, then something soft like air fell onto my lap. "My old Invisibilty Cloak." Dad said similing. "Wow." I breathed as I threw it over me. "WHERE'S HERMIONE!?!" Lily shrieked. "I'm right here silly." I said taking off the Cloak.
Mum's present was a Wizard picture of all her old Quidditch team mates from the HolyHead Harpies with their signatures and little notes. "Oh my goodness Harry! How did you manage this?" "Same way Voldemort (Albus flinched) was destroyed: constant viligance!"
My other presents included:
"Merry Christmas Mistress Hermione!" Winky squeaked excitedly. I've asked them loads of times not to call me Mistress Hermione but they always forget. "Morning Miss Hermione." Kreacher said with a weird half grin on his face.

- A box of Weasley Wizard Wheezes stuff from Uncle George, Aunt Angelina, Fred and Roxanne.
- A Pygmy Puff namedArnold from Uncle Ron, Aunt Hermione, Rose and Hugo.
- A really boring book I'll never read about the Ministry of Magic from Uncle Percy, Aunt Aubrey, Lucy and Molly.
- A little moving model of a dragon from Uncle Charlie.
- A fasicating book about the history of Gringotts and book about Veelas from Uncle Bill, Aunt Fleur, Victorie, Dominique and Louis.
- Exploding Snap Cards from my friend Scorpius Malfoy.
- Hogwart, A History from my best friend Sarah Longbottom.
- A broom cleaning kit from Teddy Lupin (who is like a brother because he lives with us but is really Dad's godson).
- The History of the Animagnus from Professor McGonagall (also a fellow Animagnus)
- A book about how Muggle contraptions work from Granpa Weasley (he was sooooo please that at least one of his grandchildren is somewhat as fascinated by Muggles as he is,

Christmas Eve at 12 Grimmulad Place
Today my parents are having a party for all their wizard friends and I can't wait! All the Weasley's are coming and so is: Hagrid, Oliver and Katie Wood and their kids (who are all obsessed with Quidditch), Luna and her husband Rolf Scamander and their twins Lysander and Lorcan (the two oddest boys in the world), and tons of other I've never even met! At least Uncle George and Aunt Angelina are coming, they make every party fun, with loads of things for Weasley's Wizard Weezes to keep us kids happy while the adults disscuss things like: The Ministry of Magic, Azkaban Prison, The Daily Prophet and the Second Wizarding War (after which Grandma Weasley alway breaks down into tears if anybody mentions my Uncle Fred who died in the War). I not really looking forward to Uncle Percy, Aunt Audrey. Lucy and Molly coming though. Those girls are the most pathetic, boring, uninteresting little pieces of rubbish ever! Even Dad and Mum say they are rather annoying. The last they were here though my brother James and my cousin Fred (II), gave them Canary Creams and it was soooooo funny when they turned into little yellow birds in the middle of dinner! Oh darn I have to go, Aunt Hermione, Uncle Ron, Hugo and Rose have just arrived.
Bye!
Bye!
