A/N: Thanks to my beta SaRoOoNa
« Noooooo ! »
Hermione woke up sweating, at her parents' house. She tried to remenber what she had dreamt about, but the only thing she could recall was a feeling of...separation? no, more like if she had been torn in two.
"Darling, what's up?"
Alex Granger came storming in his daughter's bedroom, and turned on the light. Hermione blinked several times, and then launched herself in her father's arms. He patted her hair, hugging her while she was crying.
"Daddy, it was horrible, someone tried to take me out of our family, and I don't know what happened next, but I felt like I was with strangers, and my heart was broken! Daddy, never let anyone do... do that! I'm so afraid!"
Alex said nothing but look at Jenny, his wife, standing in the doorframe. None of them talked, because the conversation they had with their eyes was eloquent enough. Should we tell her or not? After a few minutes, they looked away. No not this time. Then when? I don't know. Later.
With that, he put Hermione back in her bed, sighing, and wondering what if she find out? I'm sorry Honey, but now, it'll be too hard.
Two days later
The Grangers were having breakfast when an owl came flying through the window. Her parents were a bit shocked, but the natural curiosity of Hermione made her approach the bird. That's when she noticed the letter it was carrying. And her name was on it! So she took the letter. Hermione noticed that the envelope was thick and heavy with a purple wax seal; she broke the seal, pulled out the letter and read:
Dear Ms Granger,
We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31 July.
Yours sincerely
Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress
"Mummy, Daddy, I just found out that I'm a witch! Can you believe that?" Hermione said in astonishment her mouth wide open, "WHAT?" both her parents shouted in unison, "It says so here: I've been accepted to the school of witchcraft and wizardry of Britain!" replayed Hermione handing the letter to her father, after few minutes Alex handed it to his wife.
" Can I go to Hogwarts School?" said Hermione after waiting for a reaction from her parents without receiving one, Alex and Jenny looked at each other ( they do that often), then Jenny said "Well, honey, if you want to, of course you can go!"
"Yeeeessssssss, I would really love to ! Thanks very much Mummy" said Hermione while hugging both her parents "I'm a witch, I'll go to a witching school, cool" she thought to herself.Then
"Can we go buy my stuff today? I want to know everything before I start school?
"Of course, were do you think we can get your school supplies" Alex asked while eyeing the list of books and equipments "There is a map in the envelope with directions" answered Hermione while grabbing a piece of paper and scribing her approval to attend Hogwarts, then she attached the letter to the owl's leg and it took of after drinking water from the kitchens sink.
That afternoon, Hermione and her parents went to London, following the map's directions to a pub called (The Leaky Cauldron) where they met a nice old man called Tom who showed them the way to Diagon Ally, Hermione spent a great day discovering a part of the amazing world of magic and buying her school supplies, then went home and started reading her school books, and by the end of the summer holiday she knew everything by heart.
On 1 September the bushy little girl headed to King's Cross Station, Platform 9 3/4 with her parents and stared with delight at the Hogwarts Express, and then she turned around and hugged both her parents. When it was time to leave they said there goodbyes "We'll see you next Christmas honey" Alex said while hugging his daughter one last time "And remember darling, no matter what, we love you!" letting go of her then she kissed her mother and stepped on the train waving goodbye.
On the train she met two boys who became her best friend; she was the top of the school, she helped her friends whenever she could thanks to her cleverness, she fought dark wizards, she suffered insults from few people, one in particular, also suffered pain and loss, then helped one of her best friend's and comforted him when he lost his godfather, dated her other best friend, so she forgot the nightmare she had before she knew she was a witch, before she went to Hogwarts.
Until...
