Disclaimer: I dont own Harry Potter or anything you recognize, probably not even the plot because it's so old..... That honor goes to J.K. Rowling. bows down in direction of Europe All worship J.K. All worship J.K.......
Warning: This is a slightly AU fic. Harry does not know who his parents are, therefore neither does any of the Golden Trio.Harry also has only confronted Voldemort once, when he got the Boy-who-lived title. He will confront him again at the end of seventh year. If I change anything else to suit my purposes, I'll let ya'll know.
"Hermione! Come on! You're going to miss the train!" Hermione's mother yelled up the stairs.
"I'm coming, Mom! Geez!" The teenager said as she came down the stairs, dragging a suitcase behind her. She handed Crookshanks to her mother and grabbed her purse off the stair rail.
"Ready?" Her mother asked her.
"Yea, let's go."
At the Platform"Bye Mom. See you next summer. Give Dad my love." Hermione said as she pecked her mother on the cheek and ran off. "Harry! Ron! Let's go get a compartment!"
"Bye honey! Have a good time at school!" Hermione's mother's voice drifted off when she realized her daughter wasn't listening.
As the train pulled out, Hermione looked out the window and saw her mother standing on the platform, waving madly. Hermione waved back, then turned her attention to the boys, who were playing Exploding Snap. (Harry won). After they had switched to portable Wizard's Chess and had played a couple of games, which Ron won, Professor Dumbledore came in.
"Ms. Granger, may I have a word?"
She stood up, and nervously smoothed her skirt. "Of course, Professor. What is it?"
He beckoned into the hallway, and she followed him out. "Ms. Granger, I am sorry. So very sorry, but I must send you away. Voldemort is growing stronger. I am sending all the Muggle-Borns away. You can still complete your seventh year, don't worry. But you cannot come back, and you will never see your family or friends again. I will explain to your parents and Mr.'s Weasley and Potter, but you must go. Now." his last words held a note of finality in them that Hermione did not question. "You must take on an entirely new identity. Your new name is Lily Evans." (A/N: winkwink Duh. Couldn't you see that coming?) "I will cast a permanent glamour charm on you, so that you will not look like yourself." He muttered a few words under his breath, and she felt a tingling sensation all over her body. Then it was gone, and Professor Dumbledore was casting another spell. A swirl of blue light appeared beside her, and it got bigger and bigger until you couldn't get to the compartment behind it.
"Here is your luggage and your cat." They appeared beside him. "Go throught that Gate, and to your new home."
She stepped up to grab her luggage and Dumbledore gave her a weak smile. She stepped through the Gate, and experienced a sensation not unlike a Portkey. Then, she was back on her feet, and she looked around.
This is....no. It can't be. This can't be the...Hogwarts Express?
A/N: Ok, that was reaaaallllllyyy short, but it is a prologue more than anything. The meat of the story is going to be focused on the Budding Romance between Herm/Lily, and our secret suitor.
