Brighter than Sunshine is a work of fiction by yours truly. It takes place after the sixth book, but in a slightly alternate universe. Rated M for swearing, sexual content, and other adult situations. The central character pairings are HGDM, HPOC, RWLL, and GWBZ. Harry's girlfriend is modeled after several of my friends, and her name is actually one of my friend's names. Thanks love, for letting me use your name!
Disclaimer: I own all the Harry Potter books…I really do…but sadly, it is JK Rowling who owns the plot and the characters. oh well. I do, however, own a few characters of my own in this story, along with the plot. The songs don't belong to me though.
Without further ado, the prologue.
Prologue:
It was the summer before what would have been my seventh year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Nobody had any clue about whether or not the school would reopen on September 1. Dumblebore was killed two weeks prior by a man, sarcastic as he was, that I thought was loyal to the Light Side. Apparently I was wrong, as was the rest of the Order. Severus Snape truly is a traitor. I had mixed feelings about the other Death Eater on the tower that night. Draco Malfoy. It was usually a name that I spat out as if it were a vile poison along with various insults such as ferret. Given what happened though, I realized he couldn't kill anyone, even if it was to protect his family. Draco Malfoy was not, and could never be, a killer. No, I believe he was just a scared little boy that thought he had no other choice but to do what his father told him to do. Boy was I wrong. Looking back now on that year, I realize that things are never really what they seem. I sometimes find myself wondering what would have happened if I never gave Draco the chance to prove himself. We eventually did end up together, yes, but it has never been easy. I'm an old woman now, closing in on my seventy-fifth birthday. Draco passed a year ago. I find myself remembering the year I turned eighteen, along with the five years following that. Let me show you what happened.
Oh, I suppose I should introduce myself before I do. My name is Hermione Granger Malfoy, Gryffindor and Hogwarts alumni. Member of what was once known as the Golden Trio, friend to Harry James Potter, Ronald Weasley, and Ginny Weasley Zabini.
I got a feeling in my soul
Love burns brighter than sunshine
It's brighter than sunshine
Let the rain fall, I don't care
I'm yours and suddenly you're mine
Suddenly you're mine
And it's brighter than sunshine
