Chapter 1- Hermione's Secret
Hermione Granger relaxed under a tree looking out at the lake. She had a lot on her mind and sitting by the lake was calming to her. In the distance the sun was setting and the squid was waving as it swam through the water. She sat back further against the tree and thought about the past month.
The school year had just begun and for the first time Hermione was not excited or ecstatic in any way. In fact she was the opposite, over the last few weeks she had received gifts from the same sender. They were always from the same sender- they called themselves The Family Business- and she knew exactly who they were. But sadly she could tell no one about them.
'I wish I could' she thought
The gifts were always something she enjoyed –chocolate, books etc. - but they were slowly escalating to more personal gifts. Each day the gifts were becoming more and more extravagant and she was getting worried. Her friends still did not know about the gifts because they were delivered to her dorm room instead of the Great Hall.
Harry and Ron really didn't know much about her but she was fine with that. Ron was her friend, she trusted him- in most situations- but he had a short temper and she wasn't speaking to him at the moment. While Harry was like a brother to her and she would do anything to protect him and telling him that she could take down a man three times her size in a matter of seconds was not something they needed to know. Besides they wouldn't believe her either way.
"I'd rather be the brain than the brawns of the group"
She reached into her pocket and pulled out her latest gift. It was a Benchmade 32 Morpho, a butterfly knife to be exact. She liked the gift and would thank the sender but a part of her was a little freaked out that someone new her secret. When she was ten she had the same knife but lost it on one of the moving days. The only difference was the runes on the blade. It had a rune for protection and accuracy.
She sighed and twiddled with the knife as she watched the sunset. She finished reminiscing and headed back to the castle. She put away her knife as she walked away from the lake. She headed back to the dorm in the Gryffindor Tower and stayed in her room for the rest of the night.
Light tapping on her window caught her attention. She opened the window and an owl flew in carrying a large package, it dropped the package and flew back outside.
Hermione nodded and took the box, unwrapping it quickly.
Under all the paper was a simple black box with her initials on the top. She opened the lid to reveal a silver and black handgun (a glock 17) with her name engraved on the barrel.
"It's beautiful" She said quietly. Beside the gun was a smaller box filled with empty pill capsules and a note. She unravelled the note. It read-
Kitty,
We're coming for you.
-You already know
"Why don't they just kidnap me instead of raising my stress levels?" She said to herself
She put the note down, put on her 'KRUM' jersey with some shorts and fell asleep early.
Meanwhile her friends were sitting in the Gryffindor Common Room. Harry and Ron were playing a game of Wizards chess while a few other Gryffindor students sat around the room. While Nevill sat nearby reading a book on Herbology.
They were all worried about Hermione but each of them had a different perspective on the situation.
"Hermione's been acting weird lately" Ron said after her moved his pawn.
"I know, it's like she's hiding something from everyone" Harry muttered
"But she wouldn't do that, right?" Ron asked
Harry shook his head. He had noticed that Hermione was acting differently; she was distracted or daydreaming in class instead of answering every question. He wasn't worried because she could answer any question she was asked when she was called upon.
As the clock struck nine the Common room door started to creak and groan, catching their attention.
"What's happening?" Neville asked, Harry and Ron shrugged.
The door creaked one more time before flying open and slamming into the wall. Professor Dumbledore walked in-eyes twinkling- followed by three burly muscle men adorned in black and silver guns strapped to their waists.
"Harry, , do you know where is?" Professor Dumbledore asked.
"She went to bed earlier" Harry said. Dumbledore nodded and the men behind him cracked their knuckles menacingly.
"B...Bu...But I could get someone to wake her up" He said stuttering. Harry looked around the room and spotted Ginny crouching near his chair.
"Ginny could you go up to Hermione's room and bring her down here" Harry whispered to her. She nodded and ran up the stairs to the girl dorms.
A few minutes later, Ginny came back with a tired Hermione.
"What's going on" She asked with a yawn.
"Aw Kitty, how could you forget us" the 'leader' said.
Hermione looked in his direction, her jaw dropping slightly
"Wolf" She squeaked and made a dash for the stairs. 'Wolf', the leader, pulled out a whip like object and slashed it in her direction. It wrapped around her waist and pulled her to him.
"Hi" Hermione said with a grimace as she struggled with the whip.
"Okay boys, we got what we need! Let's head out" Wolf said and the men behind him headed for the door.
"Wait , I am not leaving this room with some arrogant, conceited muscle men who decide to ruin my night and if I leave this room it will be on my terms. NOT yours" Hermione said. She pulled out a knife and cut the whip but Wolf caught her – for the second time- and held another knife to her throat. The whip dropped to the floor as she thought of her next move. Like chess gave, she had to focus.
Students gasped, Harry and Ron jumped from their seat with their wands raised and ready to protect Hermione.
"Think again, your coming with me. We are going to the Headmasters office and you are coming with us. Whether you like it or not" Wolf said menacingly.
Hermione didn't respond, instead she grabbed his wrist and twisted it. He dropped the knife as she flipped him over her shoulder and had him pinned on the floor. All in a matter of seconds.
"I already said we're doing this my way! So I will see you in Dumbledore's office" She said standing up, she stopped to pick up the knives and walked out.
"Bloody Hell, did you know she could do that!" Ron exclaimed.
"I can't believe my eyes" and "What just happened" could be heard throughout the room.
Wolf picked himself of the ground and rolled his shoulder before signalling for them to leave.
"Ha ha, Kitty got claws now" One of the men said as he laughed. In response the other said "Wolf got his ass kicked" And they both laughed as they left.
"Well that was entertaining. Have a good night boys" Dumbledore said to Harry, Neville and Ron. They nodded dumbly as Dumbledore left and the portrait closed itself.
"Whoa"
"Do you think she'll teach me how to do that" One of the younger students asked
"Dude that was AMAZING"
"I still can't believe it" Harry said, rubbing his eyes
"Dude, believe it cuz' you saw exactly what I did" Seamus said
"Woah"
As Dumbledore walked back to his office he thought of the possibilities Miss Granger could bring. She could become Young Harry's bodyguard incase anything happed. He stroked his chin in thought.
'Why that just might work' Dumbledore thought and pulled out a lemon drop to suck on.
I hope you like it! Review and tell me what you think- do you love it? Hate it?
