Chapter One:

It was nearing the end of summer when a beautiful brown owl flew threw the open window to perch on the back of the chair at a young girls desk. The young girl appear to be about eleven years old, she had long unmanageable bush like hair that would remind anyone that looked at her like she had stuck her finger in a light socket. Her eyes were a deep brown filled with intelligence and wisdom for some one way beyond her short years of life.

The young girl blinked and looked at the own with a curious look, brown eyes looking into the birds as if trying to figure out why such a bird would be in her room, holding it's leg out for her to take a letter.

This way of receiving mail hadn't been practice in a long time and made the young girl very curious...and cautious at the same time.

The owl continued to hold out its leg so that she could see the letter. It gave a hoot as if saying 'take the letter already' and she gave an apologetic smile, as she untied the letter from the owls leg.

She gently held the letter, it was made of parchment if she wasn't mistaken. It had the feel of it at-least. Blinking she turned it over, looking at the neat scrawl that was in green.

As Hermione opened the letter she held a rush of excitement inside for she was unknown what the letter was to hold. The feeling increased as she held her breath and gently tore off the seal, grabbing the letter that awaited in the envelop.

Hermione slowly folded the letter back up and with trembling hands put the letter back in the envelop and sat on her bed.

She didn't really know what to think of the letter.

A part of her was happy to know what she had been doing over the years was magic, and that she just wasn't a freak anymore.

That she was somewhat normal!

She, Hermione Granger, was a witch!

As she thought the last word, witch, her face paled. Heaven forbid...she was a witch.

Her parents!

Dear god, her parents!

If they found out. They would...she didn't know what they would do but she knew it wouldn't be something good.

Ever since she made things happen, which she knew now was magic, her parents tried to make her normal. How was she going to explain this!

They would have a fit!

Giving the evelop a longing look she closed her eyes and took a deep breath as she brough her other hand to the letter and tore it in half. She repeated taring it over and over and over again till it was in little pieces so no one could put it together again.

"I wish I could go...but I can't..." Hermione whispered standing up and depositing the shreds of paper into the wastebasket. She couldn't let her family find out she got that letter.

She just couldn't,

Hermione would live the rest of her life denying she ever got that letter...it was going to be better that way.

Tears started to role down her pale cheeks as she cries for not being able to go somewhere will she could be fully understood and an outcast by her peers and others around her. Slowly her tears started to lessen as she grew tired and fell in to a fitful sleep.

Hermione awoke to hearing her mothers off key humming to Greensleeves. As her mother was making dinner and her father sitting at the kitchen table as to not get into his wives way in the kitchen.

A clink of the mail slot closing made Mrs. Granger go to the Front door to see a letter addressed to Hermione. The thing that caught her attention was that their was no postage stamp of return address on the letter. Mrs. Granger picked the letter up off the landing and carried it in to the kitchen to show her husband John.

"Jean" he addressed his wife. " what do you think this is? Maybe to a prestigious school our Hermione applied to?"

Jean shrugged her shoulders and went back to cook supper. "Why don't you call her down to read the letter?" with that said her husband gave her a smile and walked towards the staircase and called his daughters name.

"Hermione, why don't you come down here! " after he called it didn't take long for him to hear light footsteps as he went back into the kitchen to wait for Hermione

A couple of minutes later Hermione slowly stepped into the kitchen smile on her face, "You called for me?" She gave him a curious look as she glanced over to her mother who was setting dinner on the table.

Her mother wiped her hands on her apron and gave her daughter a kiss on the cheek, "Yes dinner was ready for one, and two...you have a letter~!"

Frowning she glanced at her father who held out a letter. It was then Hermione knew her life was over. All color drained from her face as she looked at what could end whatever relationship she had with her parents...the relationship that had just started to get better from her last mishap of accidents she caused.

Accidents from magic.
