Chapter 1: running away

Hermione wished now of all times she was old enough to apparate as she lugged her overly heavy Hogwarts trunk down a deserted road. Normally she would be at home at this time, the middle of the night, but after a fight with her parents she felt running away was the only was toget to grimmauld place on time. She was expected there the next day but her parents were very reluctant to let her go.

Flashback

"Hermione we just think you should spend less time with….them" her father had explained earlier that day, "You should really be thinking of your future. You won't be able to get into a college now, you can't tell them about Hogwarts. You won't get excepted if they think you skipped 7 years of school."

"I'm concerned you're not getting a good enough education at that school." Hermione's mother said, "We're thinking of enrolling you in a real school this year."

Hermione glared at them, "Hogwarts is a real school." She told them, " It's preparing me for a future as a witch."

Her mother sighed "Honey that's not a real job."

Hermione opened her mouth to explain that she could get a job as a witch but her father interrupted her. "You're staying with us for the rest of the summer and we will decide what you're going to do for school."

End flashback

Hermione continued on down the dirt road as she looked at a map she had grabbed from her fathers study. She saw that she was going the right way but it would take her hours if she went around the woods. She stopped and looked at the woods to her left. Who knew what was in there? She knew that it could be very dangerous but she was eager to reach grimmauld place to see her friends. A car drove by slowly and Hermione stood perfectly still, her heart thumping. She had heard many stories of people being kidnapped and killed right of the streets.

The woods can't be anymore dangerous than hanging out here. She thought to herself. Taking a deep breath she walked into the dark woods dragging her trunk behind her.

A/N: so that was short and boring but it will get better,I swear
