a girl sat on a log in the middle of the forest. she had red hair and a black cloak. The girls hands were over her face as the rain fell down upon her. She finally looked up revealing stunning blue eyes.

"Why am here?... I should just go back."

The tears were running down her cheeks as her hair clung to the sides of her face and neck. Finally the girl stood up, sighing, "No, no, I refuse to give up!" and she moved forward. She dogged the branches that swung at her face. she finally made it out of the woods, ware she saw a enormous castle. There was a hut on her right. The girl ran up to it and pounded on the door.

a big hairy man stepped out and looked shocked at the red headed girls presences. He had a long tangled beard and a big round stomach.

"Hermione? wha...what happened?... ware have u been?" the man said looking at the teary eyed girl.

"Hagrid it is terrible... I ran...and so much... I just." the girl called Hermione suddenly just broke down and started crying.

"Oh Hermione... come in." Hagrid said putting a big hand on her shoulder and nudging her inside. Herminie went in and sat in a big ugly brown recliner, and wiped her eyes.

"I...I need a place to go...till school starts you know..." she said looking up at Hagrids loving brown eyes. He nodded and said she could stay with him.

The next day Hermione woke up to the sound of a familiar voice. It was none other than professor Dumbledore, Hogwarts, the schools, headmaster. She pretended like she was asleep and listened into the conversation.
"Professor what do we do?" Hagrid exclaimed as he started passing back and forth.

"calm down Hagrid…. She is safe and that's all that matters." The man was tall and apparently old. He had a long white beard and long white hair to match. He was warring a long purple robe over his slender body and a pointed hat on top of his head. "She will stay in the castle well protected…. Who knows what she has gone threw….and just think….all thoughts things ….thoughs people….after her." The head master gave a sigh and stood up. "I must be going Hagrid… I must make the arrangements… there is no need to tell her she already knows…. Right miss. Granger?" Hermione rolled over, rubbing her eyes sleepily, and looked at the head master.

"Err…. sure" she gave a small fake smile and then rolled back over and went to sleep. When she woke up it was dark out and she was still very tired, but the ache in her stomach made her decided to get up and eat something. Hermione stood up and went to the kitchen aria and searched for something edible.
