Domaination and power were the foundings of society, and I became another victim. I just know that I will always regret it. Hermione Granger wasn't always a bookworm. She led a frightened, intimidated childhood which she would never let down. This is a one shot fic from Hermione's perspective, telling about her greatest regret, how she came to love books, and how she came to know a kind, tiny, raven-haired boy. A mixture of angst and romance.
