Prologue - The Aftermath

Hermione Granger sat on the window ledge of the astronomy tower, sobbing into her knees. All she could think of were the fallen, their faces as they were killed by Tom Riddle. The second wizarding war had finished and she was scarred. There were nightmares every night, always the same, the faces of her friends, decaying slowly. She could only stop them by not sleeping, by helping rebuild Hogwarts. It made her feel like she was doing a deed for the dead, giving them a nicer resting place. Most people that were in the rebuilding program were overage wizards, so the process was fast, but it still took months.


September 1st 1999

The Hogwarts express set off for another year at Hogwarts, students in compartments with their friends, gossiping like normal children. All that was, except Hermione Granger. After the war she distanced herself, and sat in the heads compartment, alone and wondering who the head boy this year would be. "Miss Granger." A voice said behind her.

"Huh- Oh hello Headmistress!" She replied, Minerva McGonagall stood at the door of her compartment.

"Please Hermione, Minerva or Minnie when we're alone." She stated, sitting beside her. "Tea?" She offered.

"Yes please Minnie." Hermione rubbed her eyes and yawned while Minerva made her tea.

"Hermione are you okay dear? You seem so tired and worried." Minerva said getting closer.

Hermione's eyes glistened. "P-professor... I'm not okay.. I haven't been since the parents were killed. I did everything I could to stop it. They were in Australia as MR and Mrs Wilkins." She began to sob into the Professors shoulder. "all of my friends have died, I dream about them every night Minnie. Their decaying faces with tears running down their cheeks..." She stopped, the professor holding her close.

"There's something else.. Isn't there..." Minnie said softly to her.

Hermione sobbed harder. "R-r-ron..." she stuttered, not finding the words. "RONCHEATEDONME" she finally sosbbed out

"Hermione.. You were the daughter I never has. I will help you no matter what, I promise."


So that was a short chapter I know ! Sorry but you need to know time periods etc.

Hermione is in her seventh year. She decided to go back to Hogwarts and whatever for her education.

Please review!
