Hi everyone! Well, here it is, my first ever story on Its suppose to be a Humor/Romance but it starts out a little depressing lol. Oh, and just to let you all know, I'm sorry if the story isn't in sync with the books. I'm basing this on the movie's because I can remember them more vividly. Anyway, hope you enjoy!
Tears streamed down Hermione Grangers face as she miserably packed her trunk. "Why," She sobbed. "Why me" It had been three weeks since her third year at Hogwarts had ended, and already, her world had came crashing down. "Accio clothes!" Hermione said as she pointed her wand at her closet. Hermione's clothes flew into her trunk. She started to close it when she spotted a light pink spaghetti strap top bordered with white sequins. She gingerly picked it up and ran her fingers across the silky fabric. Her mother had given her this top as a Christmas present. Suddenly, the terrible memory of last night ran through her head.
-FLASHBACK-
Hermione sat on the couch in her living room while reading her favorite book 'Hogwarts: A History'. Her parents had gone out for some much needed time together. Hermione was so drawn into the book that she didn't even hear the phone ring just on the other side of the room. 'Hello, you have reached the Grangers, please leave a message!' Hermione jumped at the sound of her mom's voice on the answering machine. Suddenly, she was aware that someone had called. She walked over to the phone and was about to pick it up when she heard a strange man's voice.
"Hello, Ms. Hermione Granger. This is Dave Eigan, I'm a doctor over at the hospital. I'm afraid I have some terrible news. Um, well, I guess you know your parents went out tonight and well, um, I'm sorry to have to tell you this but they were in an accident with another driver. He was drunk. And…………Well………Mrs. Granger, I'm afraid did not make it. However, your father is still here but on life support," Hermione's blood went cold. "Your aunt was on nursing duty's tonight and I have sent her to get you. Please be ready, I'm so sorry about this. I'll see you soon" BEEP!
Hermione couldn't move, she couldn't breath. After a few seconds of being lifeless she screamed. "NO!" She sank down on her knee's and started crying harder than she ever had in her life. She was brought back to reality by a knock at the door. "Aunt Nina" She whispered. She opened the door and flung herself into her aunts arms. "Hermione," Sobbed her aunt as she hugged her. "I'm so sorry" Hermione pulled away and looked into her aunts eye's. She was crying just as hard. "Go get your coat, sweetie" She said quietly. Hermione quickly retrieved her coat and ran out to her aunts car.
They arrived at the hospital twenty minutes later. Hermione grabbed her aunts hand and pulled her inside. There, she ran into a doctor who was obviously Dave. "WHERE IS HE!" She screamed. "Ms. Granger, please-" He tried to calm her but he was cut off. "TAKE ME TO HIM!" She screamed even louder this time. He motioned for her to follow. He lead the two women to a small room. Hermione entered and looked at her dad, he was barely even breathing. She ran over to him and threw her arms around him. "Nina, I really don't think he'll make it" Said Dave to the aunt/nurse. "Don't tell her that Dave, just don't" Replied Nina. Suddenly, the machine beside Mr. Grangers bed started beeping faster. "No!" Hermione sobbed. "Don't leave me!" Just as she finished the green line on the screen went strait. "No! Dad, please!" Hermione cried. "Honey, come on" Nina said as she tugged on her nieces arm. "NO!" Hermione screamed.
Nina looked over to Dave who had a painfully sad look in his eye's. "Hermione, sweetie, please come" Begged her aunt. Hermione reluctantly let go of her father. "How could you leave!" Hermione whispered.
Hermione and Nina arrived back at the Grangers house at around 2:00 AM. Hermione had cried so much that she couldn't get another tear out. She tiredly went up to her room to put up her coat when she heard a familiar voice downstairs. She ran down into the living room to see her Aunt and Professor Dumbledore whispering to each other. "Pr-Professor," Hermione stuttered. "What are you doing here?" The Professor looked at Hermione with a sad twinkle in his eye's. "Ms. Granger, I'm afraid I have more bad news" He said quietly. 'Oh no, what now' She thought. "You see, Ms. Granger, Now that well, um, Y-your parents aren't here, You will need a place to live," He started. "I can live with Aunt Nina can't I?" Hermione asked. "Hermione, sweetie, come sit down" Said her aunt. Hermione and the two adults joined each other on the couch. "As I was saying," Said the professor. "You will need a place to live, and I'm sorry to tell you this but your aunt is unavailable since she works-" Hermione suddenly cut in. "Then I can go live with Ron, can't I?" Dumbledore noticed that Hermione was suddenly getting nervous. "No, Ms. Granger, I'm afraid not because the weasley's do not have enough room for another child" Responded the professor. Hermione looked down afraid of what was to come next. "I'm sorry to have to do this, but the only place available is, Malfoy Manner" At this Hermione jumped up. "WHAT! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT! THE MALFOYS ARE TERRIBLE PEOPLE, THEY HATE MUGGLEBORNS!" Dumbledore sighed. "Ms. Granger, I have already talked to Mr. Malfoy about this and he accepts. He may not take a liking to you but I have been assured that you will be taken care of"
Hermione was speechless. This was all a nightmare! It had to be! "Honey, I'm sorry," Said Nina. "it's the only option we have" Hermione looked up at her aunt. "When do I leave?" She whispered. "Tomorrow," Said Dumbledore. Hermione sighed and said her goodnights. She would have to get up early to pack. She lied down in her bed and silently cried herself to sleep.
-END FLASHBACK-
Hermione scowled and threw the shirt back into her trunk. She then gathered her shoe's and books and headed downstairs with her belongings. "Are you ready, dear?" Asked Nina. Hermione nodded. Her aunt put her things in the car as Hermione slid into it, tears still streaming. Nina turned on the engine and backed out of the driveway. About an hour later they arrived at the train station where they were to meet the Malfoys. "Look for them, dear" Said Nina as they made their way through the crowd. Hermione spotted a tall, blonde headed man dressed in black sitting on a bench. Beside him was no other than Draco Malfoy. "Hello, Mr. Malfoy" Said Hermione as she approached him.
"Ahh, Ms. Granger, right on time" He said using the classic Malfoy smirk. "Draco" Hermione said as she nodded. "Granger" He greeted back with a cold glare. "You will take care of her won't you?" Questioned Nina to Lucius. "Of course" He said slyly. Nina gave him a strange look. "Okay then, Hermione, you behave, write to me and I'll see you next summer, ok?" Said Nina as she hugged her niece. Hermione nodded while on the verge of tears. "I love you" She whispered. "I love you too, honey" Said Nina. The two waved goodbye to each other as Hermione followed the two blondes. She turned around unaware of a tear slipping down her cheek. "Stop your crying you filthy girl!" Snapped Mr. Malfoy. 'Great,' Hermione thought. 'just great.'
