AN: I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters in this fic.
Ok lets start off the story with a little bit of background….
Prologue:
Hermione lived with her mother, father, and younger brother in a beautiful house in the England's countryside. Her younger brother, Tyler, who was three years younger than Hermione always looked up to her and you would always see them together. When Hermione turned nine her parents told her she had been adopted because the doctors had told her mother that she wasn't able to have a child. But then three years after they got Hermione they had a baby boy. They told her that even though she had been adopted they still loved her. A year later on Hermione's tenth birthday her mother died in a horrible car crash. She had been on her way to the local bakery to pick up Hermione's birthday when she had been hit in an intersection by a drunk driver. The driver of the truck was never found. After her mother's death Hermione's father started to drink. One night he came home drunk and found Hermione in the kitchen doing the dishes. Now for some reason Hermione's father blamed her for her mothers death and he always told he so. But the night he came home drunk everything went to a different level. When he found Hermione in the kitchen he grew angry and hit her. Tyler having heard Hermione cry out came out of his room to see what had happened. When he entered the kitchen and saw his father kicking and hitting Hermione he jumped on his back. This only made their father even more angry. And he started to hit Tyler too. Eventually he calmed down enough to walk out of the room and go to bed leaving a bruised and bloody Tyler on the floor and an unconscious Hermione by the sink. After that Hermione and Tyler always made sure to stay out their father's way. When Hermione turned eleven she received a letter and this is what it said.
Dear Hermione Granger,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Hogwart's school of witchcraft and wizardry. Please send us confirmation that you got this letter and will be attending via owl.
Sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall
P.S. A list of school supplies has been included.
When Hermione's father saw the letter he went into a fit of rage. He beat Hermione severely that night. Eventually they forgot the letter even existed. But it seemed that the school would not be ignored. Even more of the letters appeared on the front porch the next week. When Hermione saw all the letters she grew scared and she did what any scared child may have done…she ran. She packed her bags, grabbed her brother and ran. When her father got home that night and saw Hermione and Tyler gone he drank and he drank heavily. In fact he drank so much that he passed out and hit his head on the coffee table in the living room dieing instantly. Having nowhere to Hermione and her brother wandered around and around until the next morning an owl arrived followed by a large man with a motorbike. That was the morning Hermione found out she was a witch.
