Hermione Granger: The Story Behind the Story
-Chapter One-
Hermione Granger seems to be a normal student at Hogwarts. This could be true, but her story is not according to the story I am about to tell.
It was a dark night in the beginning of January. All was well for the Granger family. Mr. and Mrs. Granger had little three-year-old Hermione, and had just finished up a great holiday season. They were very happy that they were able to see their family over the break. This pleasure clung to the air like water vapor on a humid day. This was only was evident in the Grangers home, because outside of their estate stood was a dozen death eaters and their leader. Mr. and Mrs. Granger were both muggles, but Mr. Granger had had some experience with wizards before.
Being high up in the European government, Mr. Granger started to notice some similarities between various accidents around the continent. He published all of his findings in editorials all over France. He thought that these accidents had something to do with another world, or realm. He used words to describe these people such as 'wizards' and 'witches' and 'wizardry' and 'witchcraft', but he never thought that this would offend anyone, or make anyone want to peruse him. But like many other times, he was wrong.
Fearing that Mr. Granger was an undercover wizard trying to inform the public of the dark lord's doings, the death eater's were ready to kill. It did not matter to them one bit that they only suspected him to be a wizard, and had no fact. Soon he would be dead, and so would his theories.
The Granger's were tucking young Hermione into bed when their front door was busted in with a loud crash. Knowing that this was not a good sign, Mr. Granger told the rest of the family to flee. Mrs. Granger took Hermione and jumped out the window. They started to run through the cold, eerie silence that seemed to fill the countryside. Mrs. Granger glanced back in time to hear a hideous shriek of laughter, a scream, and bolts of light illuminating the windows in her house. She kept on running through the night, crying until her tears stopped flowing. Mrs. Granger never looked back again, and continued running.
