Author's Note: Hey guys this is my first fan fic, so I hope that you will read, enjoy, and review! No worries, I can take flames as well as compliments and tips to improve! Anyway, this story will eventually become a Hermione/Draco, however they will not be out of character, and the romance will take awhile. I want this to be as believable as possible even though J.K. Rowling said that this pair will never happen. THIS WILL NOT CONTAIN FLUFF it will be a real romance, I believe that romance is more passionate and raw, not cutesy and childlike. Ok, that is all I have to say and I hope you like what you read.
Disclaimer: I own none of the characters in this plot…they belong to the amazing J.K. Rowling
Prologue:
The cool night air blew through the open window as she looked out into the black oblivion, speckled with thousands of stars. The curtains rustled passed her with the wind as if the two were one and the same. She sat pondering and contemplating what things would be like if she were still a normal muggle; away from the deaths, away from the hurt, away from the suspense. However she knew that she would go through anything a hundred times through just to know that she had such great friends by her side. That was all that mattered anymore; her best friends, they were the world to her. It was then that she decided that no matter what, she was behind them one hundred percent, and being behind them meant standing up to the cruelest person in the wizarding world, risking her life. It was then she realized that the Order had been right when they said that there were things worthy of risking your life. She was ready. She finished packing the rest of her necessary belongings: her wand, important books that could be of some use, and a few potions she had previously made. Then, she left Gryffindor tower for what she thought would be the last time in a long while. Hermione Granger was ready.
