She trusted him completely. Whole heartedly some would say even blindly for she never really knew him. She had never met him prior to this day. She'd never even knew he existed, or any of this for that matter. Yes Hermione Jane Granger was oblivious to the fact that she was indeed a witch. Unbeknownst to her that at the tender age of eleven her world would be turned upside down. Little did she know that her comfortable life would never be that same. For better or worse she now had to accept what she was and not only that but be thrust into a new world. A world among wizards and witches, evil sorcerers', moving photographs, ghosts, secrets, and none other than our beloved Severus Snape.
When an owl came to her home she thought it kind of strange, her mother and father were very understanding about the whole situation, even owning to the fact that they always knew Hermione was special. She herself was astounded and a bit hesitant to fully believe what Deputy Headmistress McGonagall was saying. I mean who would ever believe that there are magical beings walking among us, but still she was relieved to know that she was not alone. Sometimes when unexplainable things happened to her or around her she would pretend that she didn't notice it. She would silently hope that whatever was happening to her would somehow, eventually go away.
That was indeed not the case and now she knew why. Even though she didn't want to get excited she couldn't help it. A new school, a new home, new "friends" , new school subjects and so much more. She had already devoured the book Professor McGonagall had brought for her: Hogwarts: A history. She found it absolutely fascinating she couldn't put it down and that made her all the more anxious.
And here she was standing in the great hall to what would be her new home. Waiting for Professor McGonagall among her peers, she knew she just had to be in Gryffindor. From what she had read in Hogwarts: A History, that was the best house to be in well that or Ravenclaw. When the hat announced that she would be in Gryffindor she was relieved atleast she wasn't in Slytherin. And so she made her way to the Gryffindor table where she was seated next to Ron a "pureblood" and none other that Harry Potter. Oh she had heard of the boy-who-lived- along with he-who-shall-not-be-named, it was all very interesting to her.
The following days she went to all of her school subjects among them: charms, transfiguration, History of Magic, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Potions. The latter one had her a bit confused, as she was an eager student that aimed to please. It seemed that there was simply no way of pleasing the Potions Master of Hogwarts. And that bothered her, how dare he not praise her for her brightness, her cleverness, no he did not see her for who she was. He was far too busy making Gryffindors shake in their seats and the Slytherins smirk with pleased expressions.
