Hermione's Task
Hermione walked out into the blinding sun and looked around at the world around her. Everything was so innocent and full of life, she felt like she was the only one with a secret, though she knew she wasn't. However, she was the only one with a secret this big and horrible that if anyone found out the entire Wizarding World would be ruined.
Flashback
Hermione walked into Dumbledore's office late one Friday afternoon. He was sitting behind his desk facing the portraits of the past Headmasters of his legendary school. Hermione coughed slightly to announce her arrival and said "You wished to see me, Professor?"
"Indeed I did Miss Granger. Please sit down…"
He proceeded to tell her that she, Hermione Jean Granger, had a task ahead of her. And should she accept she would be able to free the world of the greatest burden ever known. Lord Voldemort. She would not be able to begin her task until her 18th birthday, in 1 year.
End Flashback
Now in just 2 short days she would turn 18 and she had many things she needed to do before then. Guilt and worry filled her. Guilt because she should have done these things weeks ago. Worry because even though she had not been afraid to accept the task 2 years ago she was now scared that she could not succeed.
