CH 1: The Painter
Hermione Jane Granger was not a very happy child. She could do things the other children couldn't, she was smarter than everyone in her class, and because she could do odd things her parents hated her. They were always at work or on vacation and when they weren't they completely ignored her. Her only solace was her books.
Hermione loved to read because in reading you could go into a whole other world. A world where anything was possible and people cared.
One day while on her way home from school Hermione saw a beautiful young woman on the corner painting a picture of the busy streets.
The little eight year-old with bushy brown hair, hazel eyes, and rather large front teeth stood beside the woman watching as she put brush to paint and put that to the canvas. Before the little girl's eyes she saw the hustle and bustle transferred to a canvas on an easel.
"You're very good," Hermione stated.
"Thank you," the woman smiled as she stopped working and looked at the girl.
The woman was twenty-two years old with long black hair she had in two braids, a small upturned nose, sun kissed skin, and the bluest eyes Hermione had ever seen.
When the lady smiled at her Hermione saw a brilliant twinkle in her eyes.
"My name's Athena, Athena McGonagall what's yours?" the woman smiled.
"Hermione Granger," Hermione answered quietly, "and I'm not really supposed to talk to strangers."
"Well technically since we just introduced ourselves we aren't strangers anymore," Athena stated taking up the painting again.
"True," Hermione nodded.
The woman and child carried on a conversation about everything for nearly an hour before Hermione said she had to get home.
"Say Hermione…will you be walking by this corner tomorrow same time?" Athena asked.
"Yeah I go to school and home this way all the time," Hermione nodded.
"Maybe we'll see each other. I'd like to do some sketches of you and that awesome head of hair. It reminds me of my mum," Athena stated.
Hermione blushed as she ran off to home.
