chapter 1. Hermione's birthday

A muggle family lived on a small street in a small house in the big city of London. The parents however had a daughter who was a not normal. Her name was Hermione Granger. And in a few hours she would get a letter with a red stamp that would change her life.

"Hermione darling! Come on downstairs! We have a surprise for you!"

"Coming mum!" A bushy brown haired girl replied, hermione granger turned eleven today, she assumed she would get a couple presents and then go to a nice brunch with her mum and dad and maybe even her grandma and grandad. Oh how wrong she was.

As Hermione made her way downstairs she thought about how much fun she would have today, after all you only turn eleven once! Hermione took a minute to grab the small pile of mail from below the mail slot on her way to the breakfast table, not noticing the letter inked with her name.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to our wonderful hermione, happy birthday to you!" Greeted hermione's parents.

"Thanks mum and dad, hermione said, "are we going to brunch today? With grandma and grandad?"

"Did you forget they went out of town for a business trip? Why, they won't be back for a week at the least," Ralph Granger replied.

"Oh, how did I forget!" Hermione said mentally hitting herself on the head,"well what are we doing for my birthday today?" Hermione asked.

"Your mum is taking you too the cinemas to see that movie you were talking about, then you girls are going shopping for clothes and anything girls like to buy!" Hermione's dad enthusiastically answered, this earned a groan from Hermione.

"I don't mind the film, but mum do we haaaave to shop for clothes?" Hermione asked adding a extended A sound to have.

"Maybe we could go shopping for..." Elaine Granger started but was interrupted by an excited yell for,

"BOOKS!" From hermione. "Sorry, it's just that I have read all my books at least 10 time each already and I already have them memorized by heart."

"I was going to say we could go shopping for groceries, but books are good to." Mrs. Granger said with a smile. 20 minutes later hermione had opened all her gifts when her dad stood up saying he had to go.

"Have a great day spending all my money on those things you call books, today mione." Ralph said planting a kiss on both his girls cheeks, and walking out the door for a day at the dentists his head in the door on his way out he hollered, "don't forget to look through the mail, hermione you may have a letter from your grandparents!"

"Good idea, hermione. How about we go get presentable or a day out and then we will fish through the mail." Agreeing with her mum, hermione ran upstairs and was back down in a flash dressed in a grey long sleeved shirt and plaid red knee length skirt and stockings.

"Wow you are fast hermione, you can go ahead and look through the mail while I go change, don't forget to make piles of junk, and saveable letters and one for bills." Mrs. Granger told the eager girl, "be back in 10!" She shouted on her way up the stairs.

(Hermione's POV...)

Junk,junk,bills,bills, letter!

I then picked up this unfamiliar letter. A large letter H in a red wax seal, on the front it read,

To: Hermione Jean Granger

#8 harthsweed drive

Second biggest bedroom at the top of the stairs.

I don't think this letter is from grandma.

How did this person know my bedroom size and location? This is weird. Breaking the seal I opened the strange letter, blowing my poofy hair out from in front of my face, I continued to read.

I was standing now, the words I had just read tumbling through my mind, "witchcraft and wizardry, witchcraft and wizardry,witchcraft and wizardry."

"Is this a joke!?" I yelled out loud. Who would pull such an unbelievable prank?

"Is what a joke mione?" My mom asked curious to see why would make her civilized daughter yell so angrily. Seeing the fury and confusion in my face she looked at the envelope then looked at me, the envelope then me. "Can I see the letter? I am already assuming it is not from the grandparents, correct?" I nodded as I handed the letter to my mum. When she finished reading she looked just as confused as I felt.

"I don't understand." I said barely above a whisper.

"I don't either, but how about I make a pot of tea and we just try writing back to the people who wrote the letter. They probably made a mis..." My mum was interrupted by a firm knock on the door.

I ran to the door and pulled it open, my mother right behind me. As to who was at the door, I had no clue. The woman at the door wore a long dark green sleeved cotton dress, she had a stern look and a pointy hat on her head.

The mystery lady spoke before me or mum had a chance, "hello, are you the Grangers at #8 hartswood drive?" We both nodded as she continued ", I am Minerva McGonagall, transfiguration professor and deputy headmistress at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry.

Working on the next chapter! Please review! -lily
