Hermione Granger was overwhelmed. For a while after Professor Mcgonagall's visit to the family there had been an uncomfortable silence that seemed to follow her into every room. Whenever she entered a room, whatever conversation that her parents had been having simply ceased. It had been becoming unbearable, it was like she was back at school with no one talking to her, the whispers that Hermione knew where about her but she could never quite catch what they were saying. Finally the awkwardness had gotten too much and she had just stopped coming out of her room, hiding seemed to work best at school so why shouldn't it work at home and it did because after a few days her parents sat her down and told her there decision, they were going to let her study magic and god she was so excited. The letter containing the Grangers" decision had been attached to the owl which had been hanging around the garden, they had then all waited a few days for a reply which contained directions to a pub in London called the leaky cauldron and how to enter Diagon alley, which was where her family where now. Hermionie couldn't stand still, constantly leaning on the balls of her feet while her dad sorted out the money situation in the bank. He had been gone for ages now and she was losing her patience. She had wanted to go in with him but he had insisted she wait outside. Hermione didn't understand why since it wasn't like the bank would be dangerous. Her mum stood beside her and unlike Hermione looked very uncomfortable. "Are you okay mother?"
