Chapter 1
She woke up with the rays of the sun dancing across
her eyelids. Today was the day where her parents had
this huge ball. They have two every summer, one for
the starting of summer and one saying good bye to the
summer.
So Hermione woke up and stretched and rolled out of
her bed. Just then there was a knock on her door.
"Ms. Granger are you up?"
"Yes Caroline, tell mother I'm up" Hermione yelled
through the closed door, wishing that her mom would do
stuff for herself.
"Okay, breakfast is served so your mother wants you to
hurry up and get down there so you can start getting
ready for the ball."
"Thank you, Caroline" Hermione said
"Anytime." And with that Hermione heard her leave
She looked at the clock and it read 10:08. 'Why would
I get ready for the ball this early?' she thought.
She turned on her c.d player as she was getting ready
and her favorite song was coming on.
"And this is Fallout boy singing
I Slept with Someone in Fall out Boy and All I Got Was
This Stupid Song Written about me. Yes I know very
instering name! But yes here it is"
I found the cure to growing older
And you're the only place that feels like home
Just so you know, you'll never know
And some secrets weren't meant to be told
I found the cure to growing older
I'm the first kid to write of hearts, lies, and
friends
And I am sorry my conscience called in sick again
And I've got arrogance down to a science
Oh, and I'm the first kid to write of hearts, lies,
and friends
Douse yourself in cheap perfume it's
So fitting, so fitting of the way you are
You can't cover it up
Can't cover it up
Find a safe place, brace yourself, bite your lips
I'm sending your fingernails and empty bottles you've
sipped
Back to your family cause I know you will be missed
So you can find a safe place, brace yourself
They call kids like us vicious and carved out of stone
But for what we've become, we just feel more alone
Always weigh what I've got against what I left
So progress report: I am missing you to death
Douse yourself in cheap perfume it's
So fitting, so fitting of the way you are
You can't cover it up
Can't cover it up
Hermione was dancing to the song as she picked out an
outfit. She finally decided on light colored blue
jeans and a white wife beater with a blue half-jacket.
Then she slipped on her white flip flops and headed
down stairs.
"Morning Mom, dad."
Her dad nodded his head in acknowledgment, as her mom
skipped the good morning and went straight to
business.
"Okay Hermione, as usual the ball welcomes everyone to
the neighborhood and since you are older you now are
going to have to be more social and you cannot refuse
any dances from the young gentlemen who ask you."
"Yes mom, I know, we've been through this millions of
times. And anyways which theme is it this year? I have
a dress for any theme you chose so I don't have to go
shopping."
"O yes, I'm so sorry dear I forget to tell you the
theme! This summer the theme for both balls is
Masquerade."
"O ok, so what dress should I wear mother? The Green,
red or blue?"
"Try the green. And you need to be ready by 6:30."
"What time does the guest arrive?" Hermione asked
"Seven and the neighborhood boys have grown up this
year."
"Mom give it a rest. Stop trying to hook me
up…Please."
"Leave her alone, Hermione will date someone when
she's ready" Her father cut in
For the first time all morning.
"Thanks dad, but I'm going to go get some new make-up
for tonight and I'll be back in about two hours so I
love you and I will see you at 6:30" Hermione said and
got up and walked into the living room. Making sure
none of her maids were around she took a pinch of
floor powder step into the fire place and said "Diagon
Alley" and with green flames that engulfed her she was
gone.
