This is my new series. It is about a French student who comes to Hogwarts for a year. There is nothing about the French girl in this chapter, but she comes up in the next chapter. Just read and review or else!
Claire, but known in the fanfic world as lightning bug
The Prologue
Harry Potter was spending the summer with the Weasley's. He had just celebrated his sixteenth birthday, and they would be boarding the Hogwarts Express the day after tomorrow.
He and Ron were sitting on the hill near the Burrow, doing their astronomy homework. Harry was looking up at the sky, thinking about how perfect life was. He and Ron were not actually doing their homework, but were pretending to anyways. Harry was looking out at the view. You could see the lights of the town near-by, and if you looked up, you could see more stars than one would think existed.
Just as Harry was still thinking about his life, and how good it was (if you ignored the fact that Voldemort was out killing hundreds of people), Hermione came running out of the house. Her face was stained with tears, and more were coming out.
She looked as though she had been crying for a long time and a new bout of tears were starting. She was running towards the hill where they were sitting, maybe hoping that the view would cure her. "Hermione!" Ron and Harry yelled. Hermione noticed that they were in the general direction of where she was going, and ran over and sat down next to them. "What's wrong?" Harry asked.
Hermione tried to stop crying. "Last week I got an owl from Lavender. She said she'd heard that Viktor was dating my friend Emma Moon." Hermione gulped and continued, "Well, I wrote to him and asked if it was true. I just got his reply and he said that they had been dating since a little after the second task. He never told me. I thought that everything was going so well with us." Hermione dried her eyes, though the tears were still flowing. "It's just that it felt so right when we were together. And now it's all over. Almost two years together, and it's over! Why did I let myself love him? Why?" Hermione leaned onto Harry and cried into his shoulder until she fell asleep ten minutes later.
Harry gently laid her down on the blanket that they had been sitting on. "What a bastard, to do that right before school started." He said, "She always feels the pressure this time of year, and he has to go ruin her life two days before term starts."
"Good thing that it's over though. He was too old for her" Ron said, "I still can't believe that he's been dating her and someone else for almost two years. And I wanted his autograph." He looked down at the sleeping Hermione with sad eyes.
They stayed outside for the rest of the time. Harry and Ron talked about everything they could think of, their upcoming sixth year at Hogwarts, what they got on the O.W.L.S., wondering if they would ever find another a chaser. A few hours later, the sun came up and when the first rays danced across Hermione's eyes, she awoke. She scolded them for letting her sleep outside and for not doing their homework ("What will you say to the teachers if you haven't done your summer assignments!).
"Everything's back to normal" Harry thought, "And it'll be even more so (as normal as normal can be there) when we get back to Hogwarts"
How very wrong he was.
O.k. that was just the prologue, really short, I know. I just wanted everyone to know that Hermione is no longer dating anyone and her ex-boyfriend is a jerk. I am going to ask you again: PLEASE REVIEW MY STORY. CONSTURCTIVE CRITISICM IS WELCOME, BUT NO FLAMES PLEASE! Just stay tuned for the next episode, um chapter, of French Enchantments
