Someone To Hold

Chapter One: Last Trip

'' Your parents are dead, Hermione. There's nothing we can do.''

'' How did they die?"

" They were killed."

" By whom?"

" He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named."

Hermione shot up in bed. 'It was all a dream,' she thought,' all a dream.' She looked around the room. She was in the orphanage; her parents really were dead, Voldemort really did kill them. She sat in bed for a long time, silently crying, trying not to wake the other girls. Soon she saw the sun start to come over the horizon.

'Mom I hope you see it too.' she thought to her self as some of the girls got up and started putting on their clothes as they did everyday.

"King's Cross Station, please" Hermione said getting in the cab. She was so happy that she'd get to go back to Hogwarts; she'd get to see Harry and Ron, get back to her classes, and hopefully get her parents' deaths off her mind for awhile.

After she paid the driver and passed through the barrier, she put her stuff in the rack of an empty compartment. She sat down looking out the window at all the kids with their parents showing them off to school. She rested her head on the back of her seat and closed her eyes trying to conceal her tears, but with no luck; small tears started sliding down her cheeks.

Suddenly the door slid open, Hermione tried to wipe her tears away but Ron had already seen them.

" 'Mione? What's wrong?" He asked, putting his stuff down to comfort her.

" It's okay. I'm fine." she said smiling because of the concerned look on his face.

The trip went as usual, the lady with the trolley stopped by and of course Ron and Harry were stuffing their faces, and for a change Malfoy hadn't bothered them yet, so they were all having a great time. Hermione had forgotten about her parents.

' I'll be fine.' she thought to herself as she got off the train and stepped into a carriage, and headed up to the school for her 7th year at Hogwarts.

Yep okay finally found a Beta and she's one of my new best friends.. I call her my My Little Kassie Beta.. Which we both find amusing.. So this is a revised chapter, spellings improved and all run ons gone.. It's February 7th, and I have this terrible cold and my boyfriend is coming home from his Army stationing in about a week. School has been canceled for the last 3 days due to very fridgid temperatures and I've been bored out of my mind.

So that is how I've been doing, not that anyone cares.. If you have been doing worse feel free to review and I'll be sure to make everything all better. X3
