Prologue
It's been 5 years since I graduated from Beaubaton Academy. I'm a journalist for London's top magazine for young Witches, Ms. London. Although I graduated top of my class, here I sit writing below standard articles. Madame Maxime once told me I was the brightest witch of my age. "How can I be?" I asked myself. "If I am sitting here writing sub standard articles."
Destiny, yes. Life can sometimes throw a wrench in your plans. Looking at a picture of my parents, I thought back to when things changed.
Two weeks before graduation, my parents were killed in a freak car accident. Madame Maxime allowed me to go home to tend to things and gave me my diploma before I left. My parents were gone. I wasn't sure where to go or what do do. I didn't really have anyone to call a friend. Most people thought I was a know it all book worm. Well, there is more to being a witch than books and cleverness.
After the funeral, I took what things I wanted from my parents house, put it on the market as is and moved back to London. It's had been 10 long years since I'd been home. You see, when I was 8 years old my parents moved to France. We had vacationed there several times and they decided we should move there permanent.
Then before we knew it, the summer of my 11th birthday, I received my letter from Beaubaton.
I was a Witch. Who could believe it? My parents were excited that I was to become a witch. We didn't have any witches in our family that my mum and dad knew about. I knew I was destine to be someone. Upon getting my letter I begged my parents to take me to Paris.
The entrance to the Wizarding World was located in the Montparnasse Quarter. How appropriate I thought. The Paris Catacombs. Brilliant. No one would ever know. I wanted to get as much information on the school that I was going to. I couldn't wait.
I was to take the Beaubaton Express Train at gate 13 ¾ at 12:01 pm from the Gare Montparnasse. Term started on August 31st. It was May 31st. I needed my things.
That was when I found out that I, Hermione Granger, was a Witch.
