Dear Ms. Granger,
Please note that the new school year will begin on September the first. The Hogwarts Express will leave from King's Cross station, platform nine adn three-quarters, at eleven o'clock. When you arrive at the station, load your luggage and report to the last compartment immediately, alone.
Sincerely,
Professor M. McGonagall,
Deputy Headmistress

Hermione looked up at the Hogwarts Express. The scarlet train was leaving in five minutes and she had to head to the last compartment, though she had no idea why. Hermione sighed, and loaded her trunk onto the train. She walked down to the caboose, too a deep breath, opened the door, and walked in. Professor McGonagall was sitting alone in the window seat in the back of the compartment reading the Daily Prophet. The professor looked up from her paper and smiled.
"Hello, Hermione. Please sit down." Hermione took the seat opposite her teacher.
"Hello, Professor," Hermione said carefully.
"I have a story to tell you, Ms. Granger." McGonagall said, once again adopting her cooly professional style. Hermione gave a short nod, wondering why McGonagall had chosen now to tell this story, whatever it was about.
"As you know, 16 years ago, a dark wizard (You-Know-Who) began to rise. He had a gang of supporters and followers called Death Eaters. He and his Death Eaters caused devastion and chaos throughout the magical world. They murdered many respectable wizarding families and innocent Muggles. About 15 years ago, a year from the rise of You-Know-Who, Lily and James Potter were informed that You-Know-Who was after them. The two hired Sirius Black as their Secret Keeper, but Black persuaded them to change to another friend, Peter Pettigrew."
"Professor, how do you know this?"
"Never mind that, Ms. Granger. Needless to say, Pettigrew betrayed them. Voldemort headed to their house in Godric's Hollow. James held Voldemort off whilee Lily tried to flee with her children-yes, Ms. Granger, children-but Voldemort killed James with a- with a wave of his wand." Professor McGonagall stopped here to blow her nose. "Voldemort was determined to kill the two, but Lily, she died trying to save them and they survived because of her love for her children."
"They, Professor?" Hermione asked weakly.
"Yes, Hermione. Lily and James had two children, twins. One, as you know, is your best friend Harry, and the other, her name-it was Lily, after her mother, the Dursleys wouldn't accept two children to watch after-she went to an orphanage-" McGonagall said, wiping a tear from her eye.
"Why are you telling me this, Professor?"
"Because we want to find Lily and we may need your help. When we locate Lily, we want you to after her."
"Me, Professor? Why me?" Hermione said, surprised.
"You know one of the two remaining Potters very well and you're the top student in the school, besides which you've been through some dangerous things. Now go join your friends. They'll be wondering where you are. We'll call for you once we find Lily Potter. Do not say anything to anyone, Ms. Granger."
Hermione walked through the compartments of the train. She finally located Harry and Ron in the middle compartment.
"Hermione, where've you been?" Ron asked.
"Changing." she said briskly, sitting in the seat next to Harry.
"Hermione, you've still go Muggle clothes on." Harry told her. Ron burst out laughing. Hermione went bright red and muttered something under her breath.
They spent the rest of the train ride joking and eating sweets, most of which were Chocolate Frogs, Every Flavor Beans and Pumpkin Pastries.
"Yu no, ai weally don aprobe ob eatin dese." Hermione said around a mouthful of Chocolate Frogs.
"What?" Ron said confusedly.
"You know, I really don't approve of eating these." Hermione repeated very distinctly after swallowing her bite of rich chocolate.
"Then why are you eating them?" asked Harry, popping an Every Flavor Bean in his mouth and immediately spitting it out.
"I could ask you the same question." Hermione said, stiffling a laugh.
"What flavor was it?" Ron inquired curiously.
"I don't want to know." Harry annouced. Hermione smiled.
A/N Lily Potter is not a Mary Sue. I know she seems like it. That's the point.
More soon. Don't flame me, because if you do and you're an author, I'll find your story and flame it everyday. If you're not an author, I'll flame your stories when you become an author. If you're not an author and never intend to be, then WHY THE HELL NOT????!!!!!
