Dear Journal,
It has been three days since Voldermot had been defeated by the order. Finally, there is long-waited peace on Earth. Though many had died in this war, it wall a well won one. The remaining death-eaters have been round up and sent to Azkaban. Hopefully, they would be given the dementor's kiss. No one would want them to destroy this long waited peace on earth. Ron's still at St Mungo's, and Mrs Weasley has been so worried. It was bad enough that she lost Mr Weasley in the war.
During the last fight, something strange happened to me. While I was trying to kill Lucius, I lost my wand, but I managed to do wandless magic. It was, weird, while I did it, a white light glowed around me. It was way to weird. Anyway, Draco on the other hand had fought for the order instead of Voldermot, and he did nothing when I was about to kill his father. All these while, I thought he looked up to Lucius, but I was so wrong, he hated Lucius that his heart went cold when I killed his father.
School's starting in a week's time. I've received a letter from Dumbledore informing me that I've made it as head girl, but he missed out who was head boy. This year, Hogwarts wouldn't be the same again. They have invested in muggle technology. Each student would be given a laptop that would replace quills and parchment.
Hermione Granger.
Hermione Granger signed off and posted her journal entry onto her online journal.
"Whew!" she heaved a sigh of relieve. She had witness Mr Weasley being killed by the Cruciatus curse. She was near him, but she did nothing. She just stood rooted to the ground and witness him die. Though the Weasley's never blamed her, she felt guilty. Where was her Gryffindor bravery. Although it was the ending of evil deeds and fear, many were left broken hearted. Ever since the end of the war, Lavender had been staying with her. She had been so down since Ron was sent to St Mungo's and Hermione was the only one whom she could turn to. Ron and Lavender shared such a close relationship, that their love would never be broken. Maybe, this was just a test for the both of them.
Her thoughts were interrupted by Mrs Granger's call. "Hermione, Lavender, dinner's ready."
The two girls headed down to the dinning room. No one spoke during dinner. All ate in silence, who was still in the mood of speaking when there was so much sorrow.
"I'm done," Lavender placed her plate in the sink and walked away. She obviously was still thinking of Ron, she hadn't been her cheerful self since Ron was sent to St. Mungo's . "Oh, Ron, wake up soon." Hermione thought to herself and continued meddling with her food. She didn't feel like eating, not when so many others were sorrowful and crying themselves to bed.
"Hermione," Mr Granger finally broke the silence in the room.
She hesitated before looking up at her dad. His face was filled with sorrow and confusion.
"We have something to tell you." He added. Mrs Granger finally looking up from her plate.
"We are not muggles. " She said it so swiftly.
"We are the royal family of the angels." Mr Granger added, however, he once again got cut off my Mrs Granger.
"We had our reasons to leave our home and move to the muggle world. Voldermot was after all the angels, because, with our blood, he could live forever." Mrs Granger added.
"Hermione, we are so sorry." Her father apologized to her.
"It's alright dad," She said and ran up to her bed room. She knew it wasn't going to be okay, not with the fact that she had been tormented by Draco Malfoy all these years. It wasn't going to help. She flung herself on her bed and thought for a while. Yes, she was going to change, change entirely and start a new, with her new identity, she wasn't going to be the know-it-all bookworm.
