Chapter 1

On the day of July 28th, Hermione Granger woke up to see the sun shining down on her. A month ago was the end of her fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"Hermione!" her mother's voice rang out from downstairs. "It's time for breakfast!" "Coming!" she replied groggily. She staggered to her own private bathroom and slammed the door shut. If she would of kept the door open, then Hermione would of heard the sounds of screaming and the faint words of 'Avada Kedavra'.

In the bathroom, Hermione looked into the mirror with her light brown eyes and groaned at the sight of her puffy hair, made even puffier by the heat of the summer.

She brushed her teeth, washed her face and tried to make her hair cooperate with her, but it was a no use. She growled in frustration and threw the brush down. "Aw, forget it!"

Hermione pushed her door open and ran down the stairs. The view that met her eyes almost gave her a heart attack.

Her dad was lying dead on the couch. His eyes were half open and they had a look of horror in them. Her mum was sprawled on the floor with hot coffee dripping all over her. Her eyes held the same look as her husband's. The door was blasted open and all was still.

Hermione, now fully awake and scared out of her mind, walked around her once - clean and beautiful living room. She scanned around the room. All of the paintings, pictures, and furniture was either upside down or shattered into a thousand pieces.

Hermione heard something move from behind her. She looked down in the broken pieces of what was once a mirror. Hermione instantly turned pale. Deatheaters were all over the place! She tried to back up, but ended up in the arms of a tall deatheater who smelled like blood and coffee.

Before Hermione could say or do anything, the Deatheaters closed in on her. The last thing she heard before all went black was a whooshing sound and an icy cold whisper, "Granger!"
