Chapter 1

Hermione Granger was sitting on her dorm room bed reading one of her favorite books, The Princess Bride. It was her first night at Hogwarts and so far she hadn't made any friends. Hermione had sort of expected it because at her old school everyone would pick on her, not just about reading books all the time but about her looks too.

You see, ever since Hermione could read that was all she did. She never went out for walks, she never joined any sports and so she didn't get any exercise, but when she read her books her mother would always give her milk and cookies to eat. So this made Hermione on the chubbier side. She also had buck teeth and very bushy brown hair, and needed glasses which took up half of her face.

As Hermione sat there reading her book, her new roommates came through the door, took one look at her and started giggling.

'Ug' Hermione thought 'I have over obsessed boy loving airhead girls I have to share a dorm with for seven years. This is not going to be fun'

Hermione decided to leave the room and go to the library where she could concentrate on her book and maybe look for a new one before curfew, which was in an hour.

Hermione finally made her way down to the library and the only person there was the librarian.

'Why don't I go look for a new book now, I've read this one a hundred times' thought Hermione.

While she was strolling through the isles, Hermione noticed at the end of the rows of books there was a door that was open which lead to more books. Figuring there was less of a chance for anyone to disturb her back there she went through the door and looked for an interesting book, not noticing the sign above the door saying 'Restricted Section.'

On the first isle that she came to Hermione was immediately drawn to a book. The cover was made of black leather, and Hermione figured it was really old because she couldn't read the title properly.

Hermione looked at her watch and realized that there was only half an hour until curfew and decided that she would take this book up to her dorm to read and hope her roommates weren't there.

Once Hermione was safely in the covers of her bed she pulled out the book to read it. She was completely shocked when she opened the book to see that there were blank pages, but all of a sudden words began to appear.

Since this was the first magical book Hermione read other than her school books, Hermione just figured that this was normal and began to read.

Why Hello, What's your name?

Hermione, not even thinking that the book probably wouldn't hear her said, "My name is Hermione Granger, I'd have never thought a book would be asking me."

Granger hmm, I've never heard that name before, are you a pureblood?

"Um, I'm not really sure what a pureblood is. I'm afraid that I don't know much about the wizarding world, both of my parents are muggles and this is my first night at Hogwarts," Hermione admitted.

Oh really, Well I'd be happy to inform you of the wizarding world if you would like to learn more?

"Oh would you, that would be wonderful, I love to learn new things" Hermione said, happy that she would be learning more about the world she would be in the rest of her life.

Ok, well let's start with you. You said that your parents are both muggles, correct?

Hermione nodded anxiously

Well that automatically makes you a mudblood.

"What's a mudblood?" Hermione asked, confused a little.

That's when your parents are both muggles, and you are the first witch in your family. There are also purebloods and halfbloods. Purebloods are the most superior of the wizarding world and halfbloods are tolerable, but to me mudbloods are dirt and don't deserve to be in the wizarding world.

"But they let me in, that means that I'm allowed to be here and the sorting hat didn't reject me so I don't know if your right" Hermione huffed, annoyed at the book.

Before Hermione could say anymore, she suddenly felt an unbearable pain that felt like she was being stabbed with thousands of knives. For what seemed like hours she screamed but nothing came out and when she felt like she was going to black out the pain stopped. Hermione had trouble breathing and lay still in her bed for a minute until she regained her composure and started to read the book more

DON'T YOU DARE QUESTION WHAT I SAY; I'M THE ONE TRYING TO HELP YOU! Now if you keep questioning what I say the you will feel that pain so much that you won't even remember what its like not to have that curse on you, do you understand?

Hermione was trembling now but she nodded anyways, because she was afraid that the pain would come back.

Good, now from now on I'm going to call you mudblood. Now I want to show you something mudblood.

Hermione nodded her head constantly not taking her eyes off of the book afraid of what it would do to her.

Now I want you to cut open you palm enough that it will bleed a lot.

Hermione looked shocked and said "I can't don that I don't have a knife or"

Hermione couldn't finish her sentence because the pain came back and it seemed ten times worse than last time. Hermione kept screaming that she'll do anything just not anymore pain. And when the pain finally let up Hermione moved as fast as she could, which wasn't very fast, to look for something to cut her palm.

When she found nothing, she started to panic and just began to scratch her skin hoping that she could make herself bleed.

When she finally started to bleed Hermione let out a startled cry at what she saw. Instead of red blood that she saw come out of her when she fell off of her bike when she was little, There was a brown substance pouring out of her skin.

You see that's what I've been trying to tell you all of this time, but you haven't been listening to me. You have mud in your blood. And the stupid Headmaster is mixing it up with all of the purebloods in the school. You even being in the same room as someone with pureblood could possibly contaminate them. And I don't want that to happen to the wizarding world.

Now that I've shown you that I want you to read this book and when you are completely finished it, not skipping any parts I want you to come to my portrait. I have three in the school, one in the great hall, one in the Headmasters office and one in the room of requirements. When you have finished this book go to the room of requirements and we'll talk more then.

"But I don't know where the room of requirements is." Hermione said timidly.

It's on the seventh floor corridor, walk past the blank wall three times and imagine what you want the room to look like. Just make sure that you picture me in it.

"But I don't even know what you look like," Hermione said.

Just say in you mind while your pacing back and forth three times that the picture of Salazar Slytherin Has to be in it. I will see you then mudblood. Have fun reading the book.

With that Hermione closed the book deciding that starting tomorrow she would begin to read it with all of her spare time, but right now her whole body ached and right then Hermione decided she would never question that book again, after all it had been right about her blood and he was one of the founders of Hogwarts.
