HI ALL! THE NINJA IS BACK! BUT NOT WHERE YOU EXPECTED!

Yes yes I am absolutely pathetic for not updating Jade Dreams or At the Beginning. And for that I apologize. Its just that I had this new idea in my mind and I wanted to try it out first. To my other readers this is not a maid-sama fic (obviously) but hopefully it can be enjoyed just as much :)

ENJOY!

"Where are you going?" the red-headed girl asked while putting her hand on the other girl's shoulder.

"I don't know, but I need to get away." The small brunette said.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" The brunette looked into her friend's eyes and she could see the pain and worry reflected in them. She paused for a moment before answering.

"No. It's a horrible idea, but I'm the only one that can do it." Her friend looked at her with love and affection in her eyes.

"I trust you." Just then and there the girl was about to break down and change her mind. Instead she threw her arms around her friend and choked her in a hug. Her friend returned the hug and sniffled into her shoulder.

"Tell them I'm sorry. Tell them I love them and that I'm sorry I couldn't say good bye." The brunette pulled away slowly…painfully.

"They'll understand. They'll just be upset they couldn't say goodbye." An explosion was heard overhead the two girls were showered with more dust and debris.

"Now go! Before it's too late!" The red-head pushed her friend away and watched as she walked forward to apparate.

"Ginny… Goodbye …" With those final words Hermione Granger disappeared for many years to come.

"Oh Merlin!" Hermione Granger muttered as she accidently cut her finger while slicing an apple. She put the knife down and looked around for her wand.

"Why can I never find that blasted thing when I need it!" She let out a breath of frustration and sucked on her wounded finger.

It wasn't a deep would, she thought to herself as she moved around papers on the kitchen counter. She finally found it and quickly healed her finger. She sighed as she piled all her papers into a huge pile. She'd have to leave again…and soon. She couldn't let the death eaters find her.

It had been almost a year and a half since the end of her sixth year at Hogwarts. Hermione had escaped from Hogwarts to find and destroy Horcruxes. She had also stolen Dumbledore's wand the night that he was killed as the rest of Hogwarts fought to keep the Death Eater's away.

Through Harry's messages she knew that Voldemort was now after Dumbledore's wand. So she was in even more danger then before. So far she had only found Slytherin's locket and she was nowhere near destroying it.

She sighed in defeat as the large stacks of paper just fell to the ground.

"I GIVE UP!" she all but yelled and collapsed onto the sofa and hugged her knees. She was just waiting for a contact to arrive. Harry was sending help today since he couldn't leave the wizarding world. He had to keep the Order in check and because of that they'd decided, more like she'd forced him to let her go and look for the Horcruxes while he fought the battles.

She heard a knock on her door and jumped to her feet immediately. Holding her wand up she asked through the door. "Who is it?"

"The phoenix is reborn through the flame." came a deep voice she didn't recognize.

Her shoulder's sagged in relief. It was the Order member sent to help her on the mission. Before she opened the door she stiffened. Harry shouldn't have known the hotel she was in. How could this man…

"What were Dumbledore's last words to Remus?" she asked again her sense of danger aroused.

"Trust in Harry, he's the only hope left." This time she almost smiled in relief.

She opened the door and saw a figure in dark robes with a hood over his head. She allowed him in and tried to clear a space on her sofa.

"I'm glad you could make it. My name's Hermione Granger."

"Of course I know who you are Granger. Who doesn't?"

Hermione froze. Of all people…no it couldn't be. But no one else ever called her Granger…

"Who are you?" she asked cautiously. She heard a snort of amusement.

"Thought you were the brightest witch of our age… You should be able to tell by now." He said in a lazy drawl.

No. It was the one person who. Damn Harry Potter. Once she got her hands on him. All of Hell's fury would be released.

So hope you all liked it :D. For this fic I've decided that the chapters will be shorter but hopefully I'll be able to update faster (don't count on it)

Peace out
