While it's normal to have new students at Hogwarts everyone is slightly shocked to see a first year who is five foot eight being sorted. That's when everyone starts to wonder "Is she a transfer or a very tall first year?"

Everything she did and everything she was going to do was for the mission. The mission, that she was failing.

All the suddenly Blaise and Asha were sitting at the other end of the Slytherin table.
All the suddenly he wasn't calling Hermione Granger, mudblood.
All the suddenly Asha was rarely found not by Blaise's side.

All the suddenly everything changed.

"What in the bloody hell are you thinking Hermione?!."

"Hermione, I have to side with Ron on this one. What are you thinking dating....Malfoy?."
As the memories of that night continue to haunt Hermione.
A deadly plan is put into action.

Now more than ever I missed Hermione. I missed her with a burning desire that hurt, I needed her like I needed air and no matter what it took, I'd bring my baby girl back home to me.

"My father is the one you all fear the most." 
Just when you think she has a soft spot, just when you think everything is going to change for the better, it gets worse.

A box filled with surprises, a surprise visit in the night, and more questions left unanswered.

"Everyone." Harry addressed the order members who all turned in his direction. "Draco's found something."
