"No More Will It Be"

Chapter 1

Another summer. Another hard, and scary summer it will be.

She was so glad that she was able to go to Hogwarts, to be away from it.

It was a place to be away from all that…

Sadly, no one knows of it. Not even her own two best friends in the whole world.

No one knows about what goes on at her home.

Everyone sees just the parents- seem happy, and proud of their daughter. They see the closeness, the happiness that they pretend they have.

If only that was true.

As Hermione walks off the train with Harry, Ginny, and Ron, she saw her parents. Instinctively, she smiled and waved, acting excited to see her parents again. But inside, she was filled with dread of being with them, for another summer.

Hermione turned to Ginny, with pleading eyes for help.

"What's wrong, Hermione?" asked Ginny, with concern in her voice.

Hermione had a chance to say what she was feeling, and how much she didn't want to leave all of her close friends.

"I…," Hermione started to say. She started thinking.

Should I bring it up, here, in front of all these people, with my parents there, not even 30 feet away? Should I tell them of this? Of this life that I have to go home to, this terror, this secret I will be returning home to? Oh, how I long to say, so I don't have to return to my nightmare.

"I… I'm going to miss you guys!" Hermione said, as she hugged each one of her friends.

After they all hugged each other, and said their goodbyes, Hermione observed as other students go over to their parents.

Hermione watched as Ron, Ginny, and Harry went over to the Weaselys, and greeted them with a hug. As she looked around to the other witches and wizards happily greeting their parents and guardians, she didn't see anyone staling to greet them.

As she started to walk towards her parents, she can see the fake smiles upon their faces. And though, those smiles look so realistic, she just knew those smiles were fake.

Hermione greeted her parents with a short hug, and stared to way away with them and her luggage.

Oh, what a summer it will be.
