Chapter 0ne

I was on my way home from platform 9 ¾ after my parents didn't come and meet me after the train ride. By the time I had walked to my street it had started to rain. I looked up from the sidewalk only to see the Dark Mark looming over my home of seventeen years. Of course muggles couldn't see it because of charms around the curse. I stood there in shock before rushing into the house only to see chair, tables, cabinets, and other various home objects strewn around the house. The most horrifying thing though was seeing my parents lying motionless on the floor, dead. I slowly pulled out a piece of parchment and a quill from my trunk and wrote a letter to Dumbledore.

Dear Headmaster Dumbledore,

I just found that Death Eaters have killed my parents. I would very much appreciate if you could come as quickly as possible.

Thank you,

Hermione Granger

Quickly I tied the letter to my owl (A gift from Harry for my seventeenth birthday) Aiden and sent him on his way. Walking over to my parent's bodies I sat down next to them hugging my knees, crying, and repeatedly telling them how sorry I was.

Not long after though it felt like a life time of waiting two loud pops echoed through the house. Looking up I saw both Dumbledore and Kinsley standing over me.

Dumbledore spoke first, "Ms. Granger, I understand how this must be hard for you but with consent I believe we can work this horrible incident to our favor."
"How so sir?" I choked out through my tears.

This time it was Kingsley, who spoke, "Well, we could make seem as though you were killed as well. Then we would put a glamour charm on you, give you a new name, and put you in Slytherin to be a spy for the order."

"What would I get out of this deal? I mean I would be losing everything I have left in my life."

"You would be able to find the reason for your parent's deaths and avenge them."

I thought about it for a moment looking over to my parents I wanted to make them proud and avenge their deaths. "Okay, I'll do it."

"Alright first let's decide on a name."

"How about Anastasia and I could go as Stasia for short."

"Yes that sounds good, but you still need a last name."

Dumbledore then spoke, "Knight."

"What about my back story I need one of those right?"

"Oh yes of course. You are a pureblood and lived in the U.S. being homeschooled by a private tutor hired by your mother but your parents decided it was best for you to attend Hogwarts for your last year since it would be your last chance."

"It sounds good to me but I want to be able to tell Ginny and Luna So I'll at least have them to talk to."

"Alright, as long as it is only them. Now, for how you should look and suggestions?"

"I would actually prefer if Ginny and Luna could help me with that one."

"I shall be back soon with both of them then." With that Dumbledore disaperated away.

At the Burrow

All of the Weasley family was around the dinner table eating and chatting when Molly heard a knock on the door. "Well then who could possibly be knocking at our door at this time of night?" She got up and opened the door to find Dumbledore standing in the doorway. "Why, Albus dear what do need?"

"I must speak to your daughter Molly if you don't mind."

"Why, no not at all. GINNY!" "Coming Mum!"

"Miss Weasley will you please come with me, we must still fetch Miss Lovegood."

"Yes, of course."

A few minutes later they then had Luna in the group as well and they went to Hermione's home. When they arrived Hermione explained what happened and the plan for her to become a spy for the order.

"So why do you need us here?" Ginny asked letting the information sink in.

"I wanted you both to help decide how I should look and act. Plus I could use someone to talk to through all of this."

"Of course we'll help you Mione. Right Gin?"

"Ya we'll help you. So I was thinking for this new person Stasia we could give you black hair with a purple streak and bright piercing blue eyes."

"Now that's good."

About a hour later we had decided exactly what I was to look and act like. After deciding we told Dumbledore and he agreed instantly. We prepared for him and Kingsley to perform the spell. They spoke in hushed tones and I could not hear what they were saying but they appeared to be chanting in some foreign language. A purple light then suddenly rushed over and around me. Both Ginny and Luna gasped and ran and found a mirror so I could see how I looked.

When I first saw the girl in the mirror I couldn't believe it was me which I guess is good seeing as though I don't want to be recognized as Hermione Granger anymore. I now had strait black hair with a dark purple streak through it and my eyes were a piercing blue. I had lost all the chubbiness it was replaced with curves. My facial features were well defined and quite pretty. I had grown from 5'5 to 5'8. In just one word I looked stunning.

"It just needs one more thing" Ginny mentioned pulling out a magic lip ring. "This lip ring will let all four of us know if something bad is happening and plus once we get you some new clothes it will tie the entire look together." She explained.

"Wow, thanks Gin." I whispered to my redheaded friend as she slid the lip ring into the left corner of my bottom lip. Ginny just beamed as a reply.

"Now we will make it seem as you were killed here as well." Dumbledore interrupted.

"All right." I agreed. Kingsley and Dumbledore both started to chant again and a tan light fell to where my parent's bodies lay making a fake Hermione Granger.

"Ms. Knight you and Ms. Lovegood as well as Ms. Weasley shall come with me to my home and I shall take the three of you for your needed shopping in the morning." Dumbledore announced as all of us three girls agreed.

We all started to walk out the door as I looked back at my parent's bodies vowing I would make them proud. I was no longer Hermione Granger muggleborn Grifyndor I was now Anastasia Knight pureblood Slytherin who was going to make her parents proud.
