Hermione had gone straight to the Burrow with Ron and Ginny once term ended and the train pulled into the platform in London. It had been one of the most miserable train rides Hermione could think of. It was the first time in her life she had neglected her Prefect duties. She and Ginny had shut themselves in a compartment of their own to chat and brood all the way home. Harry and Ron would stop by a few times but hurried off after less than a few minutes.
