The unexpected Gryffindor

Hermione Granger had noticed her difference to the other infants from a early age,the majority of her class been irritated with her,

due to her extensive abilities in everything.

So naturally Hermione had not be wholly surprised when she received her letter for Hogwarts,

"Mummy! Daddy! I could always tell I was different" bubbled the young brunette,

"Princess what's this" replied her father.

"I've been excepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry"

"Oh Mione dear, I always knew you were special" gushed her mother.

The next monday Hermione Granger woke up with a start, she was going to Diagon Alley, her parents had been told how to access it and she could barely contain herself as she jumped out of bed and threw on pair of black jeans and pink t-shirt.

As Hermione lolloped down the staircase of her London town house, she pulled on a pair of violet converses.

Eventually after forcing her parents out of the front door they caught a taxi to the cafe next to Diagon Alley.

"Mummy come on" moaned Hermione.

"I can't see this pub?" questioned her father.

"Daddy were you not listening to Pomona (Pomona Sprout had came and explained about Hogwarts) you can't see it, but I can, I have to lead you in!' she explained.

After the stress of getting through the bar and tapping the blocks and such, Hermione was fascinated by all the stores and though not the greatest shopper she still had to be dragged out of every shop. Soon she had collected everything sans her wand, Including a young elf owl whom she named Celest.

After promising to meet her parents at Floreans she made her way to Ollivanders. Inside there was a boy about her age who like her, seemed to be waiting for asistance, the boy had curious grey eyes and unnaturally blonde hair, as did his mother.

Introduced themselves as Draco and Narcissa Malfoy.

"Hello, are you in first year to?" the lady enquired.

"Yes"relied Hermione lost for words.

"Oh that's nice, Draco hears to, it will be nice for you both to have a friendly face before you begin- Draco introduce yourself"

Draco looked nervous and drawled "My name is Draco Abraxas Malfoy - whats yours?"

"Ohh"stuttered Hermione " I am Hermione Jean Granger"

Then a old man appeared "next", Draco and Narcissa disappeared and Draco exclaimed "See you on the train?" and with that they were gone.

A few minutes later Hermione was called into the room.

"Hello, young one, tell me about yourself"

"Well…."she thought"I am eleven years old… I am muggle born.. people say I'm stubborn and Intelligent -"

"That will be enough, try this"

After many wands - twenty two to be precise they found 'the one'.

"Ahhh that is the one" the one he was talking about was a vinewood and dragon heartstring.

With that Hermione trotted out the shop, holding her precious new purchase.
