Note: Dumbledore and Snape are still alive in this story
I woke up with a start, I was sweating and my sheets were wrapped around my legs. I checked the clock beside me. It read 3:20am. I sighed. Then it hit me. Today was September 11th. I was going back to Hogwarts. Ahh Hogwarts, it used to be my sanctuary, my place of fun and happiness. But that all changed at the end of last year, after the war.
*~* Flashback *~*
I was sitting by the fire in the Gryffindor common room, reading a book, after all of the celebration of defeating Voldermort calmed down. Harry and Ron were sitting to my right playing wizards chess and Ron was winning by a landslide, when Professor Snape and McGonagall came through the portrait.
"Miss Granger" said Professor Snape
"Yes" I said
"Please come with us, you are wanted in the Headmasters office" he said
"Of course" I said. I silently stood up and followed the two professors to the Headmasters office. When we arrived Professor Dumbledore was sitting behind his desk with a grim look on his face.
"My dear" he started. I knew this would not be good news. "As you know the war is over"
"Yes" I replied
"Well as you also know some Deatheaters got away after the battle was over"
"Yes" I replied again "Professor where are you going with this?" I asked confused
"Hermione it seems that these Deatheaters were angry with the death of their Lord, and so they went on a mass killing spree... in Surry" he said grimly. My heart froze. Surry was where me and my parents lived... What was he saying?
"I don't understand sir" I said. Dumbledore sighed and looked at me in the eye.
"My dear...You're parents are dead" he said. My body went numb. I could feel the tears rolling down my face. I wanted to scream at him and tell him he was wrong, that all of this was a joke. But I couldn't move. Someone laid a hand on my shoulder... that snapped me out of it. I numbly stood from my seat, shrugging off the hand on my shoulder. I took one more look at Dumbledore, turned and ran out of his office.
I sprinted past students, dodging people. Ignoring the voice of Professor Snape to come back. I ran up the staircase to the seventh floor where I slowed to a walk. I silently entered the Gryffindor portrait and walked along the hallway to the common room. Although three voices made me stop and listen. I silently peeked around the corner and saw my three best friends Harry, Ron and Ginny sitting on the couch. They were talking in hushed voices, but I could still hear them.
"Ugh! I am so sick of that stupid bitch" said Ginny. Who were they talking about?
"Yeah I know, I was so hoping she would die in the war" said Harry
"Yeah I'm with ya mate, I know what you mean. God I hate that stupid Mudblood" said Ron. I froze surely they we not talking about me.
"Look at me, Look at me, Im stupid Mudblood Granger, I know everything" said Ginny. I felt rage build up in me when they all laughed.
"Well" I said in a cold, harsh voice, stepping around the corner. The three looked up at me in shock. "Is that how you really feel?" I asked "I mean I know you are all cowards to go behind my back about it, but seriously" I said
"Shut up you filthy whore!" said Ginny "You don't belong in the wizardry society you pathetic mudblood". Harry and Ron snickered. I could not believe it. I lost both my parents and my best friends in the same day. I looked at the three then walked up to my room. As I reached my room I heard Harry say "She couldn't even take that" while laughing. The others soon followed. I walked over to my bed and sat on it, thinking. After about an hour, I made up my mind. I had to get out of here, it held too many memories. I started to pack my stuff, just grabbing things and throwing them in my trunk. I heard footsteps coming up the staircase. I quickly shut my trunk and hopped into bed pretending to be asleep. The door opened and my roommates Lavender and Parvati stepped into the room giggling, they then proceeded to pass out on their beds. I slid out of bed and grabbed my wand. I shrank my trunk and put a lightweight charm on it and shoved it in my back pocket. I then put on my black hoodie and stepped out of the dormitory, and entered the common room. Harry, Ron and Ginny had already left. I walked down the hallway, and exited through the Fat Lady's Portrait. I silently walked through the school and exited through the main doors, leading to the outside world. The air was chilly, I took a deep breath and put up my hood and shoved my hands in my hoodie's pockets and walked to the edge of the Forbidden Forest. I sighed and turned to look back at the castle. I left behind a note on my bed telling them I was gone. With a deep breath I turned back around and entered the Forbidden Forest. Anything to get away from that God-Forsaken place. Unknown to a pair of piercing grey-blue eyes watching her.
