Prologue
Hermione clutched her belly her eyes welling with tears. She was hiding behind a bush in the backyard of the Burrow. In the distance she could see her two best friends laughing as they flew freely for the first time in several years. They were so happy and everything was right with the world at that moment, for them anyway. As he threw the red ball to the other and then swooped down childishly, she realized that he was still a child, and this would ruin his life. He was going off to train to be an auror in a week, how could she ruin his childhood dream.
Hermione knew that leaving would be hard, but staying and ruining Ron's life would be far worse. She would come back in nine months, she would pretend as though she had to get away after the war and be alone. That was the plan. She had enough money to live and she could get a job.
"I've always wanted to see America." she laughed bitterly as she gave one last glance at the man she was in love with and the best friend she ever had.

The baby came a day early than it was supposed to. It was April 7th and 3:31 in the morning as Hermione Granger screamed from her contractions. A dark-haired doctor was attending her and a nurse was holding her hand and stroking her face, telling her to push. Always an obedient young lady, Hermione did just that. With one last push, her little girl was born.
Hermione's mind was warped with exhaustion. She could catch glimpses of sound all around her.
"3:32...Female…ounces…check…mother…possibly…adoption…" and finally Hermione lapsed into a deep sleep.

A/N- Very short but it is the prologue so what can you do. I'll update soon. This chapter was supposed to be kind of jumbled.
