Summary: There is one way to avoid the killing curse. Her name is the Goddess of Love and Protection. Harry needs to find her to avoid getting killed by old Voldemort, but only Hermione knows who she is, and she won't tell anyone.

Then She Saved Me: Prologue

Many years ago there lived a beautiful Goddess. She had flowing brown hair, with eyes like melted chocolate,full of love and goodness. She had a mission. A mission, to protect. She had to protect a family of wizards and witches from the evil yet to come. The ruler of that ancient world decided that he would place her when this battle would truly begin, and she could live a normal life until the time had come to learn her true identity. So he placed her in the 20th century, where she born to a lovely family. She was later chosen, at the age of 11, to go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Her parents wondered when the right time would be to tell her, deciding that they would tell her when Dumbledore thought right.

Harry's seventh year at Hogwarts was beginning. He walked into the Great Hall for the Great Dinner Feast and found Hermione and Ron. "Hey guys, how was your summer?"

Ron looked up. "Great! We went to see Charlie in Romania."

"Awesome! What about you Mione?"

Hermione raised an eyebrow. "What's with the new nickname?"

"I don't know... I guess I just thought about it this summer. So how was your summer for the second time?"

"Well... I... nothing happened." Hermione's face suddenly fell and she got a faraway look in her eyes. Harry looked at Ron, who just shrugged.

After the sorting, Hermione got up. "Where are you going?" inquired Ron.

"I... I'm not really hungry anymore." As she left, tears welled up in her eyes, few escaping. Only Harry noticed however, considering Ron was too worried about his meal. Harry got up and followed Hermione.

He silently followed her through the corridors, when she suddenly turned and entered an empty classroom. She went to the window and sat down crying.

"Hermione?" Harry made his presence known.

Hermione jumped a little in shock. "H-Harry. What are you doing here?" she asked, quickly wiping away her tears.

"I followed you. You seemed sad, and now you're crying." Harry walked towards Hermione. "Tell me what's wrong Hermione."

Hermione was silent as she thought about whether or not to tell him.

'He can help you get back on your feet Hermione.'

'I don't want to worry him with my stupid problems, he's got enough to worry about.' She looked at Harry. "I don't want you to worry about me. I'm perfectly capable of picking up the pieces of my life. Even if it hurts." She looked back out the window.

"Hermione, that's foolishness!"

She looked towards him. "Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't. And maybe I don't want you to get hurt because of what happened to me, and only me. Not you, not Ron, not your problem." She got up and left Harry to think. "By the way," Hermione started turning back to him, "Dumbledore wanted to see you. He said it's very urgent." Harry nodded his consent and left for Dumbledore's office while Hermione left for her dorm.
