You're the Light In Darkness
Chapter 1 ~ Facing the Facts
Hermione's POV
Smiling happily to myself, I entered the common room, quickly glancing around I saw that it was almost empty. In the corner of the room was a couple of 2nd years, they had parchment and fairly thick books my guess was that they were doing there homework. On the other side of the room was a 5th year reading a big book about Quidditch. I mean seriously is that anyone ever thinks about? I sighed to myself, quickly forgetting about the boy reading the book I plopped myself down on the couch in front of the fire and pulled Hogwarts; A History from my heavy shoulder bag. Dropping the bag and contents on the floor next to me I picked up the book and soon was engulfed in it's pages.
Yes, I know I've probably read that book 50 times in the last 7 years but that doesn't bother me, I like to know facts and details of the things around me and with Hogwarts you could never know to much. Well that was my philosophy. Shaking the thoughts out of my head I concentrated on the words again. I couldn't help but smile, I hadn't realized how happy I was. Well there is one thing that would make me float, well it's not a something it's a someone. A broader smile appeared on my face. My brain screamed "ENOUGH!!" I came out of my daze and shook my head. Why did he have to do this to me. I know he didn't mean to, he didn't even know what he was doing.
I sighed again picking up my book and bag I ran up the stairs on the left pushing my way past a 3rd year who was coming put of her dormitory, I quickly made my way down the hall. Finally stopping at the door marked "Head Girl" I slowly pushed it open a stepped inside. Throwing my books on my desk I feel to my four poster red and gold canopy bed. Are you surprised? Me? Hermione Anne Granger head girl of Hogwarts School Of Witch Craft and Wizardry? Well let's just say you shouldn't be. Well that is what everyone had been saying. I once heard a Professor saying that I was the smartest witch to come to Hogwarts in years. Well I guess studying every spare minute of everyday pays off. Well it's not every minute Harry and Ron make sure of that.
"Tap, Tap, Tap." I was jolted out of my train of thought and looked at the window. There was a big brown barn owl tapping at my window, pecking to get in. I rose from my bed and unhooked the latch keeping the window closed. The bird swished pat me and landed on one of the posts of the bed. Smiling I went to it and untied the rolled up parchment on it's leg. "Hello, well what have you got for me today?" I smiled at the bird and gently rubbed it's feathers. Affectionately it nibbled my finger and flew back out the open window. As I was beginning to unroll the parchment there was a knock on my door.
"Come In" I called to well who ever the person was on the other side of the door. It opened and Lavender Brown walked in. She was a Girl in my year we used to share a dormitory but since I was head girl I moved into my own at the end of the hall. She was one of my girl friends.
"Well there you are." she huffed she kind of sounded out of breath. "I've been looking for you everywhere." She continued in a forced angry tone. I knew she was just kidding it was kind of funny to see her act serious. Breaking down a giant smile appeared on her face. "Well I came to give you a message, Ron and Harry are going to be a bit late getting out of Divination so they will met you in the great hall instead of in the common room." I smiled at her.
"Thanks Lav, I would have waited downstairs for ages like a silly prat if you didn't tell me."
"Well then I better be going, nice talking with you Lavender, but I have to get down to the library, I have a assignment that is due in 3 days and I better get started on it." She laughed "You know Herm you will never change. Well I'll see you later then. Oh and Hermoine don't work to hard if something happened to you I don't know what I would do when Snape gives out those tough assignments." She waved at my and ducked back out of my room.
It hit me like a ton of bricks. The assignment for Potions I had forgotten all about it. it was due in a couple days as well. Stuffing the letter in my pocket I Picked up my bag I ran out of my room robes swishing behind me, running down the stairs into the common room, quickly walking past the same 5th year I left through the portrait. Waking the very familiar path I went to the library. Walking in With a small wave I said hello to the Professor at the check in desk and walked to my usual table at the back of the library, sitting in my seat I placed the books in front of me, spreading out parchment and picking up my quill I started on my essay. 'The Purpose of the Cheering Potion'
Yawning I placed my quill down, getting up out of my chair and stretching, I looked at the watch on my hand. Wow it was 5:30. I had been there since my last class and that was over hours ago. Uneventfully I placed my books, parchment and Quill in my bag. Shaking my head slightly I looked sown at the poor bag. It must have stretched two times it's original size the seems looked like they were going to explode and the old material was worn and faded in color. Boy I guess that what happens when you have it for 7 years and you stuff it worth all the books and things I do. Walking out of the library I walked back to the Gryffindor Tower. Vastly approaching the fat Lady in the pink dress. I stopped for a moment.
"Hello Dear, In the Library I see, Password Please." the Fat Lady calmly asked me. "I can't get nothing passed you can I?" I asked playfully. She smiled. "Twinkle Toes" the portrait swung open and I steeped in. The common room was a bit fuller then the last time was here but that didn't bother me I walked past them and back up to me room. Dumping my bag on my desk. I went to the window glancing out, I decided what I was going to do until I met Harry and Ron at dinner in a half hour. Grabbing my scarf and winter Cloak from my trunk, I walked back out of my room and down the stairs once again getting glances from some of the smaller students. While trotting up the hall I managed to put on my cloak and scarf. I opened the door and walked outside. It was beautiful.
The entire grounds were covered in a rich blanket of fluffy white snow, all the trees in the Forbidden forest were covered in snow too. It made then seem les dark and dangerous. Walking to the frozen lake I danced and pranced in the snow. Upon reaching my most favorite place in all of Hogwarts I sat. I was sitting in the snow at the base of a huge Oak tree. Well I think it was an oak tree. It was aligned perfectly that you could see the lake the forest and in the warmer seasons the giant squid. If you looked to your left you could see 3 golden Hoops. If you looked to your right you could see Hagrid's Cabin outline. Yes this view was perfect. Just when I thought I was in total bliss it started to snow. Not a heavy blinding kind of snow but just a gentle falling. Reaching inside of my robes to get my gloves, my bare and very cold hands touched a piece of parchment. 'Of Course!' my brain screamed I forgot all about the owl's delivery. Pulling out the parchment from my pocket I unrolled it and started to read the words.
Dear Miss Granger,
I am sorry to announce that your parents have been murdered by the Dark Lord. Yesterday evening Voldermolt and his Followers went to your block and demolished it up completely using complicated curses. When the Ministry of Magic got there, they block was in ruins and over the ruins was the Dark Mark. I believe that the Dark Lord was trying to destroy the Witches in Wizards on the area. I offer you the most sincere apologies for your great loss Miss Granger.
Signed
Albus Dumbledore
Headmaster Of Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry
By the time I finished the letter, silent tears were streaming down my face. No! I kept telling myself this couldn't be happening. This is some kind of joke. But I knew down in my heart that this wasn't a joke at all, my parents were really dead, I was now totally alone in the world. Dropping the parchment to my lap I brought my hands up to my face and just cried.
