Chapter 1 - Hermione

Hermione was a strange girl. She knew that ever since she was 6 years old, after she first went to elementary school. It was nice at home, with her parents, they were excellent dentists, and took care of her, in turn, she listened to what they taught her and loved them with all her heart.

In a kind of way, she was satisfied with her life at home. Perhaps, she enjoyed it way too much.

That's why coming to school was a different experience. Her friends don't like her for many reasons. Her tooth was too long and the way she always follow the teachers' rules and instruction didn't earn her any friends. Instead she was isolated and disliked by them, male and female both.

That's why so many times she asked herself if she should try to things differently. She didn't though. Something always kept her away from doing that. Perhaps it was the way she was taught at home, perhaps because it was her fault for always be studious in a class which most other kids hated to study.

Well, so what? She will do what she wants, and prove them all of how wrong they are.

Time passed and things didn't get better. Instead it got worse, she got even more isolated in class. She didn't have any friends, and when her parents asked her of her day at school. It was all in her effort not to cry and left the dining table.

Instead, she gave the most pretentious smile and tell them that she was doing well. Well, at least, her records at school was. And the teachers loved her. She didn't need it though.

She wanted a friend. One who can set her free from worrying about her strangeness, one that would prove that studying is right and not wrong.

She never did any wrong, so why? Why did she have no friends. Zero friend at the age of 11.

At least her diary is with her though.

At least, she can write all of her thought in this small notebook with her beautiful handwriting.

That's why the day Miss McGonagall visited her house, a new magical world opened up.

So that was the reason behind all of the strangeness. She was a witch.

It took her all effort not to scream in happiness.

Oh well, there is only 2 weeks until she can go to Hogwarts. She guessed she will finally be able to make new friends now.

Hogwarts, here I come, she wrote in her diary. Never did she know of what was awaiting her.
