Chapter 1 – the secret

Hermione Granger POV

"Hermione, we need to talk." Jean Granger said, looking at her daughter from across the room."It is urgent." she added.

This summer has been an uneventful one for the female member of the Golden Trio. Currently, she was at home, doing nothing but eagerly waiting for her letter from Hogwarts. After learning of her nine Outstanding grades in the OWL exams, new career opportunities were inevitable. Thinking back on her years at the school of witchcraft and wizardry, she hoped everything will end less disastrous that it has in all previous years at Hogwarts, yet with Harry and Ron being her best friends, it was doubtful.

"Sure, what do you need Mom?" Hermione asked. The Granger's have never been close to their teenage daughter. To the teenager there was always something missing, a sense of closeness and care that didn't quite seem to be present. As a child she never seemed to notice the detachment of her parents, but as the years one on, the hole in the relationship just got wider. It's like they were physically there for her, yet there was no emotion in them, almost as if Hermione was a burden they couldnt wait to get rid of.

Out of nowhere, thunder struck, and light started to shine out of Hermione, causing the Granger parents to jump and wince in pain.

"We are too late, he will not be pleased." Frank Granger said, a cold expression passing through his face.

"To late for what?!" yelled the distressed teenager, the expression on her face being one of extreme confusion.

"Do you think it's happening today Frank?"

"yes, obviously. She's showing all the signs." said Mrs. Granger as she rolled her eyes at him.

"What are you talking about?! What signs?" Hermione then looked down and noticed her skin glowing.

"Hermione, we will answer all your questions later, right now you just need to get in the car. No questions asked." Jean said.

"What's going on?" the teenager questioned.

"Hermione! Listen to your mother, follow instructions, and just get in the car!" her mother yelled, giving her hard, cold, yet urgent look.

"Mom I do-" she started to say but was soon cut off by her dad's stern look.

The 3 of them quickly got in the car, Mr. Granger driving at full speed, skipping all red lights. While in the car, Hermione felt herself changing. She was, in fact, changing. Her hair was slowly losing its bushiness and was becoming straighter and darker. Her skin was becoming paler and her breasts fuller. Looking up at the retriever mirror, Hermione Granger could not recognize the green-eyes staring back at her through the reflection, so naturally, she began to panic.

"Mom, Dad…" she managed to choke out, completely baffled by the change, "What is happening to me?"

This situation in itself was hard to handle without the whole "my body is changing, please help".

"Yes?" Mr. Granger asked, still looking at the road. Mrs. Granger turned around to see Hermione, and surprisingly, did not seem as if the girls change of appearance affected her at all.

"Honey, " Jean said to her husband, "It's happening. It's happening NOW. Hurry! We cannot be late."

"Jean, we're already late!"

"Shit, we need to get there now or else Tom will kill us! Quite literally!" Mrs. Granger yelled, slightly panicking.

"What? Who is Tom? Why would he kill you?!" Hermione yelled, now panicking over the severity of the situation.

"Hermione, don't worry about it, we will explain everything once we get to our destination." Mrs. Granger said in a nonchalant voice

"O-okay."

After about 15 more minutes of driving, the car stopped in front of a huge manor. The two adults got out of the car and dashed to the gates with Hermione in tow. As they walked by the fence, Hermione caught a glimpse at the name engraved on the bars : 'Riddle'

"Mom, where are we?"

"We are in the Riddle Manor."

"Oh… Riddle Manor…. That's nice… Riddle… Tom….Wait, mom Riddle as in…" She said, putting the pieces together.

"Mr. Tom Riddle." She looked up to find her parents knelling in front of the one and only…

"Voldemort." Hermione spat.
