Prologue

Hermione's holiday had been a living hell. It all started when they got off the Hogwarts express for the second last time. As Hermione was walking towards her parents who were smiling and waving at her she felt as if something would go horribly wrong. Pushing this thought aside she hugged them and told them about the year. They walked towards their car and got in with her father driving still talking vividly about her year. While they were in mid discussion, her gut instinct came true and the last thing she could remember was a loud honking noise then a sudden crash, before everything had blacked out, her mother breathed her final breath then whispered her final words... Make us proud. Then everything went silent in Hermione's head, not even the screams and sirens of the real world could be heard.

Meanwhile, Malfoy was also having an equally bad holiday. When he had disembarked from the Hogwarts express, he was disappointed to see that once again it was his father that had picked him up from the station. He loathed his father for several different reasons and was always dreading to go back home. He hated his family including his mother and most relatives; it was however seldom that his mother was nice to him and those were the only few moments were he only liked her a bit, but after a while his hatred would usually come back up.

Something about this holiday made Malfoy feel uneasy. Aside from the fact that Voldemort was back in full power (did I mention he hated Voldemort as well?) and that his dad was one of the very few death eaters that came crawling back towards him, he could feel that something was not quite right. His father led him towards their car (they had to drive home because it wasn't safe to apparate on the packed platform) and they got in. Inside sitting up front was his mother, she had not said a word to him yet which was odd but he didn't really care as he liked it that way. Suddenly his father broke the silence and discussed his grades and about how the mudblood Granger was doing better than him. His mother was just about to stand up for Malfoy when his father hit the car horn and slammed on the brakes. Just before they collided with the other car, him and his father apparated out of the car as they had great reflexes whilst Narcissa did not, she received the full impact which killed her instantly. Malfoy ran towards the car in attempt to save his mother, he may have hated her but she didn't deserve this, as he got nearer to the car he knew he had failed miserably. It was his entire father's fault, if he hadn't been speeding because of his anger this would have never happened, as well as that another innocent family had been killed because of them. When his father turned around and walked away, Draco filled with hatred and ran after him.

"Father, you cannot just walk away from something you have just done, what about mother and the people in the other car?" In an instant he regretted saying it, firstly because he didn't really want to care about the people in the other car and secondly he never knew that he felt for his mother, but somehow he felt a connection with a person in the other car and couldn't help feel slightly worried. He shook all these thoughts away and followed his father who had said in return that it didn't matter who died. Because of this he changed himself completely inside and out. From now on he didn't care what happened as no-one cared about what happened to him.

Well that's the first chapter. I hope you enjoyed! Please review!
