Hi everyone! I do not have a Beta, but have spell checked the heck out of this. Please let me know of improvements I can make! Disclaimer: They are not making a great theme park attraction out of my work! Only the plot is mine.
I am nervous. It has been too long since I have been home. When I left, my world had been shattered. Long gone was the happiness that I had known as a girl. I was forced to grow up too fast in a world full of hate.
Admittedly, I did run away. Something led me to America, a place I thought they would never find me. That thought kept me safe until I saw someone I assumed to have died. Seeing him made me realize that I couldn't keep hiding. He brought me out of the shell of fear I had allowed to cover my soul. In him, I found a life worth living. In turn, I gave him what he had always desired, love and a family to call his own.
Finally, we are free! The evil that had taken over our world is no more. We are able to return home, to take our family to a land they have never known and of which they have only heard about. I know nothing of my former friends nor the family that raised me. We shall soon find out if any of them have survived.
I have to admit, my life went straight to both Heaven and Hell the day I was informed I was a witch. Knowing there was a reason that I was different from other children my age was comforting. Finding the names of my birth parents was more than I had ever hoped for. Let me tell you how I came to get the worst news of my life.
My parents had told be from the beginning that I had been adopted. I knew that I was loved by them and that it was a special love because they had chosen to bring me into their family. When I was eight, Mother sat me down and explained that one day I might want to meet my birth parents and that she and my father would help me in any way I needed. She then stated that there was no listing of birth parents names on my certificate of birth, and that I had been found at the door of a church hours after my birth. I guess it was because of that fact, I had not thought of my birth parents until I was the day He came in and changed my world.
My name is Hermione Snape. Yes, nee Granger. I am sure that you have read the stories and I am here to tell you that you can take those books and burn them, for they are absolute shite.
