Hermione Series
Overview of her life.
Hi! My name is Hermione Granger! I am 15 years old and will be attending my 5th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. My two best friends and Ronald Weasley and Harry Potter.
Ron is a great person. He's got a huge family and when you go to his house I feel welcomed. I have a second family there. I go there for a couple weeks every summer. It's a lot of fun.
You may think my life is great and wonderful because I'm friends with Harry Potter, but I can assure it's not. I mean, there are great times, but then again, I'm in the spotlight because of him. Being in the spotlight can be fun if you aren't in a negative light. Well, I guess you all are wondering a bit about me. So let's start from the start.
I was born to my parents' 15 years ago who are dentists. They named me Hermione and passed on a weird last name. A lot of people can't pronounce my name right so I don't even bother correcting them anymore.
The summer when I was eleven, I got my acceptance letter to Hogwarts in the mail. Of course this was a huge surprise to me! I mean, My parents are both Muggles and they know absolutely nothing about Wizardry stuff. So, when I got the letter, we followed the directions to Diagon Alley. I got all my school stuff and bought some extra books to read. I needed to read those extra books to get used to the world I was about to spend the next seven years of my life in and probably the rest of my life if I liked it!
While looking in my books, I noticed that the name Harry Potter came up again and again and again. I read about him and was humored by the fact that he was also 11, he was also oblivious to the fact he was a wizard, and that he was going to Hogwarts.
As I read about what he did for the Magic world, I came to admire him and I longed to meet him and interrogate him with questions about what happened. Well, On September 1st I went to platform 9 and ¾. I said goodbye to Mum and Dad and sat down in a compartment with a chubby fellow who was worried sick about his lost frog.
I told him I would help him find his frog. When I was searching, I found the compartment with Harry Potter. I wanted so badly just to talk to him and ask him questions but I decided not to make a bad first impression. They hadn't seen Neville's toad so I left but I regretted it.
I have always been a bossy girl. I don't try to be mean but it just comes across as mean and unwanted. I was always, and still am, obsessed about getting perfect marks on my schoolwork. So I was pretty much more a bookworm than a social person.
Well, that first month at Hogwarts was ok I guess. I had some acquaintances but no friends. I always wanted to talk to Harry and Ron but they were boys and we all know how hard it is to start a conversation with boys! Especially famous ones! Well, it was Halloween and there was a troll loose in Hogwarts. I had finally mustered up enough courage to talk to Harry and Ron. I approached them and heard Ron making fun of me. Well, that did it. I ran off to the bathroom crying and I'm not sure if they saw me run off. I don't really plan on asking them either.
Well, I didn't come out of the bathroom for dinner or anything. I just stayed there and cried. It was around 8 at night and I heard something come into the bathroom. Immediately I knew it was the troll by its insulting stench. I instinctively backed against the wall-too scared to speak. It was about to attack me when Harry and Ron ran into the bathroom and attacked the troll. I have no idea why they came into the girl's bathroom and I don't really want to know either but I'm just really glad they came or else I would have been troll dinner.
After that, we were kind of just all friends. I can't explain it but a bond was formed and we have been friends ever since.
I learned all about Harry by just being part of his life. I also got a chance to help him free an innocent Hippogriff from death in my 3rd year, was petrified in my 2nd year by the Basilisk, and was tied up under water while I waited for Viktor Krum to rescue during the Tri-Wizard tournament. Well, my life has been pretty exciting so far.
If you asked someone what my main priorities are in life, they would be school work and doing my best to keep Harry and Ron safe. I have always been at the top of my class and have always done a good job at keeping Harry and Ron alive. They get into so much trouble sometimes! It's been a lot of hard work but I don't mind.
I am very excited right now. I have that freaky feeling in my stomach that is a mixture of fright, excitement, and happiness because tomorrow is September 1st and I leave for my 5th year at Hogwarts.
Well, I'll be seeing you later!
