Chapter 1

The Birthday Surprise

Hermione sat on her bed the night before her birthday marking off the last day on her countdown list. Her parents told her they had a huge secret to tell her. She went to bed thinking of the secret she would learn tomorrow. She awoke the next morning showered and dressed in a pair of blue jeans and a black and green top. She walked downstairs and saw her parents sitting at the kitchen table. "Hi mom" she said as she hugged her mother." Hi daddy" she said as she hugged her father.

"HI sweetie" her mom replied.

"Hi sweetheart" her father replied.

Hermione sat at the table and fixed herself some pancakes. "Thank you mom for the wonderful breakfast" she said as she finished her plate. "So dad what is the big secret" she asked.

"Now is not quite the time honey" her dad replied.

Hermione trudged into the living room defeated. She sat in the couch reading a book she bought at a muggle store the other day. After about 2 hours her father came into the room and told her to go upstairs and pack an overnight bag and pack the dress her mother had bought. Hermione did as she was told. When she entered her room she noticed to cards lying on her bed. She opened on and noticed the familiar handwriting of Ron and threw the card away without reading it. She opened the other and saw Harry's handwriting and threw his card away too. She was mad at them and they knew it. She could not stand them anymore.

"Hermione are you ready" her father shouted up to her.

"Almost. I will be down in a sec." she hollered back and finished packing. She ran downstairs and followed her parents to the car. "Now do I get to know he secret,." She asked.

"Where are we?" Hermione asked.

"Malfoy Manor" her parents said in unison.
