Hermione Granger and Book of Demons
Foreword
First and foremost I would like to thank the HP fan fiction community, not just on this site, but on many sites from around the world. The words you have joined together to form your ideas are what led me to my ideas and my words. As such many of you are unwitting contributors to this story and I thank you.
Second, it cannot go without saying that I also owe a great deal to J.K. Rowling. The stories and characters she created in the Harry Potter world are some of the best that have graced human language - of any time - and I strongly feel that history will vindicate my viewpoint.
I hope that this story will not be what is commonly found in fan fiction. I mean no disrespect towards my fellow fans or writers. However, this story is not meant to be cute, or witty, or fluff. It isn't a comedy, an angst or a slash fiction. It will have those elements, but my goal is to go farther. I am going to try to make a true book, in J.K.R.'s style, that will fit in neatly as a sixth year book. I have done a great deal of research and I am going to try not to have any timeline or continuity errors (such as a student still at school even though they should have graduated). If possible, I am going to go so far as to re-write it so that it reconciles with book five when it comes out.
The book will not be a departure from the mystery, humor, action and horror that we usually associate with the Harry Potter books. But the focus will change. This is going to be a book that focuses on our favorite witch, Hermione Granger. Often misunderstood and underestimated Hermione has always worked tirelessly in the background. But, by the end of this book you will have a whole new appreciation for Hermione, her strenghths, her motivations and her foibles.
One last word, I am in need of a beta reader. If you have the desire and are willing to put in the work to beta read a book that will probably be as long as Goblet of Fire, please drop me a line.
