Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any Harry potter related anythings. I also do not own the song 'Whisper,'

it belongs to Evanescence (who rocks by the way).

And just to warn you, its either my typing or my keyboard that sucks so there might a few spelling errors...

Hermione Granger was distraught. Her life was ruined. She paced around her small room. Books were scattered

everywhere. The sky outside her window was bright and clear, not making her mood any better.'How could they do this

to their little girl?' she wondered solemnly. 'What have I done to deserve this?' For once, Hermione did not have an

answer. Screams shook the windows from downstairs, and it sounded like glass had shattered somewhere in the house of

madness. Footsteps pounded up the stairs. He was coming......he was coming to get her. The door slowly creeped open.

Hermione backed into the wall. There was no where to hide. No where to run. His drunk face appeared in the doorway.

"Come here," he grunted hoarsly. Mr. Granger was a horrible man. 6 and a half feet tall, and muscled up from his job

at the construction site. He crept up to her, his face not far from hers. His breath smelled like beer, and lots of

it. When Hermione didn't move, he raised his hand, ready to bring it down and smack her on the face. Before he could,

Hermione raised her arm and his hand, instead of smacking her face, it collided with her arm. She merely winced in

pain. The anger her defiance caused was quick to boil. She had deliberately stopped him from hitting her. He stared.

Mr. Granger raised his hand again, but his movement was so abrupt, Hermione had no time to react. She recieved a blow

to the head. Stars twinkled in her eyes.

The pain was almost unbearable. Hermione had to fight to stay conscience. She staggered, giving Mr. Granger

another chance to slap her. She hit the floor. Hermione saw someone else enter the room, the door almost banging off

its hinges. She struggled to keep her eyes open, trying to differentiate the different shapes. "What did you do to

her?!" she heard a voice, but it seemed so distant, as if she was hearing it from a very long tunnel. Slowly, Hermione

slipped into unconscienceness. 'I'm falling,' her mind whispered, "Someone, catch me."
