Prologue: Hermione's Childhood

There was once a young girl. She had deep chocolate brown eyes, buck teeth, like a beaver and big, bouncy, brown curls. From a young age, she showed that she was very intellectually advanced and had great dreams for her career when she was older. She loved school and would do anything for her friends.

Her name was Hermione Granger.

Hermione's first day at school went by like a dream. She made friends and was as happy as a four-year-old would be. Four years flew by and Hermione and her parents had to move to accommodate her parents' work. As intimidating 3rd grade is, it is even harder to be the new girl at a new school AND have to start 3rd grade. That day, Hermione answered every question the teacher asked and even reminded the teacher to assign homework! She caught some dirty looks from her classmates and shook them off. But, at the end of the day, no one offered to be her friend. Hermione was crushed. She had many friends back at her old school and relied on them for moral support. As the years went by, Hermione became more and more disliked by her peers. She earned the titles "Know-It-All", "Teacher's Pet" and "Freak" and, on the outside, these words didn't affect her. Sadly, on the inside, they crippled Hermione very badly. By the time she was 10, turning 11, she was a reserved, shy, quiet girls and had absolutely no friends.
