A/N: I don't know why I make this, actually I've post this on Wattpad in my first language, just want to challenge myself to translate this to English. I know it's crappy. The diction and grammar are messed up really bad, but sorry English is my second language and I'm still learning :).Okay, this is the prologue. Happy Reading!

Prologue : Back to Hogwarts

Hermione Granger walked up the grass that grew wild in her yard. She returned to her old house. Her parents apparently did not sell this house. It's pretty strange, even though she had modified her parents' memories to move to Australia, but unexpectedly, she found this empty, uninhabited house, but there was no sign of this house being sold.

"Alohomora ..." she whispered. The door opened. "Lumos!" The tip of her wand is lit. She held her breath while stepping forward, afraid to find the lifeless body of her parents. She finally found the lamp switch and turned on the light, surprisingly her parents seemed to keep paying for the electrical bill. Her house looked like a big mess. Apparently the Death Eaters came to this place and decided to rummaged her house.

"Nox!" The light from her wand went out. She stepped into her parents' room, empty, only worthless items strewn on the floor. She came out, then examined the entire lower floor.

She went upstairs to her room. All the things were messy. Her childhood books that she did not carry with her were all there. After seeing all parts of the house, she began to relax. Her parents still managed to escape.

She tidied up the mess. Sometimes she swings her wand to repair damaged items. A few hours later, everything was back to normal. She cleaned herself and began to unpack a small suitcase which she carried.

Here she is, at her old house. House that used to be warm, now looked like it had been attacked by hundreds dementors, cold and carrying old memories that will only be memories.

Heavy rain began to fall. Hermione started to feel cold, at a time like this she and her family used to watching TV together with the best warm chocolate made by her mother. Beautiful but painful memories hit her. Tears melted on her cheeks. She looked blankly at the window.

A large shadow appeared at the door. Knock! Knock! The knock on the door awakened Hermione from her thoughts. She wiped tears from her cheeks and went to the door. As she opened the door, she saw, Harry Potter, her best friend and Ronald Weasley, her boyfriend. Ron stepped towards her and kissed her lips. Warmth seeped through her body.

"What do you want?" asked Hermione.

"Ouch, we're just worried. Ron has been babbling about your safety all the time!" said Harry. Ron's face turned red.

"I'm just worried about Hermione. Besides, can we come in, the rain is very heavy and we're cold outside," said Ron. Hermione invited them in.

She lit a fire in the fireplace and made three glasses of warm chocolate. Their arrival makes things more comfortable. They joke while enjoying warm chocolate. Harry turned on the TV. They watch ridiculous comedy while laughing at Ron's ignorance of Muggle equipment.

Hermione felt warm again, being with them was like being in the middle of a family.

"Hermione, we have something for you." Harry, handing over the envelope with her name on it. From the seal, she could tell that that was an envelope from Hogwarts. She opened the envelope seal slowly.

To

Ms. Hermione Granger

The Burrow

We, Hogwarts School of Magic invites you back again as an eighth year student, considering the extraordinary events we have just experienced. If you are willing to follow it, please come to King's Cross Station or come directly to Hogwarts on 1 September. Please bring the items as attached behind this.If you are willing, you will be appointed as Head Girl of Hogwarts.

Best regards,

Headmaster of Hogwarts

Prof. M. McGonagall

Behind the letter there is an attachment of the items needed for their eighth grade. There is also a Head Girl badge in the envelope. She picked the badge and stared at it longingly. Her gaze turned to Harry and Ron.

"Will you be back?" she asked. They shook their heads.

"Our dream is to become an Auror, Hermione, and that dream is in our hands. We will become Aurors." explained Harry. "What about you? Are you coming back?" asked Ron. "Yes ..." she said "... I will return to Hogwarts."

"Draco Malfoy ..." Draco crooked his head as soon as his name was called by the judge. His thin face looked very pathetic, the dark circles in his eyes indicated that he had not slept for days, his pale face was almost colorless. His eyes imply despair.

"Helping the other Death Eaters to enter Hogwarts, becoming a source of information to the Dark Lord, as well as carrying out the attempted murder of Albus Dumbledore. Do you know that these are serious violations in the world of magic?"

"Yes, Your Honor."

"For these actions, you have been sentenced to two years in prison with one month probation. Is there a defense that you want to convey?" Malfoy shook his head. The judge exhaled.

"One more thing, Mr. Malfoy, you will attend the eighth year at Hogwarts, that means you will only be in jail for one year. Congratulations! Now bring this young man to his cell in Azkaban." Two dementors came and escorted him out. He was taken to Azkaban.

The remission of the one year sentence did not make him happy at all. Within days his father would be sentenced to death, his mother sentenced to five years in prison. He hoped he just dies.

Now ... he could only wait in his cell with the Dementors before returning to Hogwarts, just to become a joke to them. It doesn't make him happy at all.
