Chapter one: Prologue
The Granger's house was quiet on a bright August morning when a certain half drunk, half giant with a killer hangover knocked on their door.
Fate had foretold a normal breakfast time that day, all 3 of the Grangers sitting down for a homely breakfast. But the night before there had been an accident which changed life as we knew it.
Hermione Granger was 11 years old, 12 in a couple of months. She had been on her way to bed when she glanced out the window and saw a huge shadow looming out of the summertime haze. She took a step back and tripped on the top stair and tumbled the rest of the way down.
As her parents rushed Hermione to hospital they failed to notice the dark shadow of the man named Rubeus Hagrid, who, being extremely drunk, had stumbled and fallen asleep in a flowerbed of their lawn.
So the next morning, when he had awoken still half drunk with a killer headache, he continued to do the job he had been sent to do, and that was to deliver and explain the letter of invitation to a Ms Hermione Jane Granger. When he knocked on the door to no reply, he decided to abandon the letter in a near by bin, go have a lie down then tell Dumbledore that they had declined the offer for a place at Hogwarts.
Little did Hagrid know, the whole world had just shifted. Hermione not coming to Hogwarts was one of the worst things that could have happened. Hermione ending up in a well known grammar school called Belfast Royal Academy was fine for her, but in fact destroyed the whole of the wizarding world.
Hermione did not come to Hogwarts, so she was not there to convince Ron and Harry to study for their 1st year exams. They failed, were kicked out of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry (to the delight of a certain Professor Snape) and became mad. As a result, Harry was not there to stop Voldemort from taking the Philosopher's stone, therefore Voldemort grew in strength, took over the wizarding world, and became known as the Red King. Dumbledore lost his role of most powerful wizard in the world and was known to those who despised him as the goody-goody White King, mainly because of his silver beard, the opposite of Voldemort's red, piercing eyes.
What will happen one fateful day when one Hermione Jane Granger, aged 19, takes a visit to Kings Cross Station…
