Chapter 1 – Hermione Mya Zambini.

Here in the shadows
I'm safe
I'm free
I've nowhere else to go but
I cannot stay where I don't belong

She ran, ran away from a place she once called home. Her life was a lie. She wasn't who she was. She wasn't the know-it-all mudblood. She wasn't the frizzy hair girl who was made fun by people all her life. She wasn't even herself. She wasn't that happy-go-lucky girl who led a perfect life. She wasn't a perfectionist. She wasn't Hermione Granger.

All these years, she was kept in the dark. Kept away from her true identity, she was kept away from her real parents. People were forced to make promises to keep it from her, to not tell her. Threats were made, promises had to be kept. Hermione Mya Zambini. Daughter of David and Diana Zambini, twin sister of Blaise Zambini.

She wanted to know. She wanted to know why she had to be kept a secret. Why she had to be sent to live with muggles. She wanted to know why they only told her when she turned 17. She wanted to know why they had to spoil her birthday. Why they had to drop a bomb on her on her 17 birthday. Why they had to act like they care, like they love her, when actually it was all a lie.

Hermione ran, she ran as fast as could. Ran to wherever her legs took her too. Maybe it would take her back to her house. Maybe it would lead her to somewhere else. Somewhere she could lead her life. The life she was supposed to be living.

She wanted to be free, run like the wolves, fly like the phoenix. She wanted to feel safe. She wanted to feel love. She didn't want to say where she didn't belong.

She had decided to take her things and follow the Zambini's back. Back to where she belong. Where she would be love, where she would feel safe. She let her tired legs bring her to the front of the Granger's door. She didn't want to be a burden to them. She wanted them to feel happy. She wanted them to live a life full of happiness and not a life where they had to keep a secret. It was better for the both of them.

She let her hands reach for the door knob before twisting it open. All eyes were on her. She was tired. She wanted to get it all done. She wanted to just sleep and wake up to a better day.

"I'll follow you back." Her voice shook. "I'll be back with my things" She trudge up the stairs into her room. Only coming down with all her stuff packed ten minutes later.

"It's time to go." David Zambini stood up, ushering her daughter to the fireplace where they disappeared within a moment. That was the last the Grangers saw of Hermione.
