Ciao, Okay So I don't Own Harry Potter or it's Characters. It all belongs to the Glorious Goddess of Writing J.K. Rowling
This is my first HP fic. And if its any good I'll probably write more. This is also a Blaise Zabini and Hermione Granger fanfiction because they are perfect and there is not nearly enough Fictions about them.
Here we go
"Obliviate" Hermione whispered as she wiped away her existence. Her life was now lost with the wind. Hermione Jean Granger was no one. The only place she had left to go was Hogwarts. She goes upstairs to her room and packs all she needs. She throws in a card she received for her seventeenth birthday just a day earlier from her parents. She froze at the thought of her parents. They were downstairs and they had no idea who their daughter was… or that they even had a daughter. She packed the rest of her belongings and walked out of her old life: Past Mr. & Mrs. Granger, past everything she's ever known. Hermione knew that her parent won't be harmed anymore. It was one less thing to worry about. Taking a deep breath she stands facing the street holds her wand out and waits for her future; if you could even call it that.
She stood there for what felt like hours but, she knew it was only moments. Things seemed to happen fast in the wizard world. In six short years she went from a little bushy-haired smartass coward to a young brave woman who is still a smartass at times. Along the way she's made incredible friends, earned loathsome enemies, became the 'Brightest Witch of her Age', she was named part of the 'Golden Trio', she's seen her fair share of death and sorrow, and she reveled in the good times she's shared with her friends. Again she freezes and chokes back a sob. She hasn't seen Ron or Harry for months. Last she heard they were on a journey for the Horcruxes which, of course, she had been let out of due to Ron's inferiority complex. At the thought of that day Hermione fumed. She could remember clearly what Ron had said.
Flashback
"Well of course I'm coming with you!" Hermione said, her voice was not shrill, shrill voices were for little girls and the bimbos of Hogwarts; her voice was leveled and at a dangerously low pitch; as she was informed of their quest. "I am just as much a part of the 'Golden Trio' as you Ronald!
"You are not coming Hermione and that's final!" Ron shouted
"Why shouldn't I come Ronald? It's not as if I've saved your arse multiple times." She seethed
Harry was too afraid to speak. He didn't want to get on Hermione's bad side, she could be even worse than Voldemort at times and she wasn't called the 'Brightest Witch of her Age' for nothing.
"Because, Hermione, you can't protect yourself. We all know that girls need more protection than us guys. I mean remember when you got petrified and then tied to the bottom of a lake? We can't afford to have you come with us, it's impractical. You need to stay here and help mum around Grimmuald Place. She can't fix this place by herself." He says in a matter-of-factly way. This is when Hermione Granger snaps.
"RONALD BILLIUS WEASLY. HOW DARE YOU EVEN INCINUATE THAT WOMEN ARE INFERIOR TO MEN? THE ONLY REASON I WAS PETRIFIED IS BECAUSE I WAS HELPING HARRY FIGURE OUT THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS. WHAT WERE YOU DOING AT THAT TIME? OH THAT'S RIGHT YOU WERE SPEWING SLUGS EVERYWHERE. AND, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, YOU WERE AT THE BOTTOM OF THAT LAKE TOO, YOU INSUFFERABLE, BLOODY GIT. IF ANYONE HERE NEEDS PROTECTION ITS HARRY. HE NEEDS PROTECTION FROM YOUR IDIOTIC SELF. IF HE LISTENS TO YOU ANY LONGER I'M AFRAID THAT HE MIGHT FOLLOW ONE OF YOUR BRILLIANT PLANS AND DIE. BECAUSE, KNOWING YOU, THAT IS WHAT SURELY WILL HAPPEN. I WILL NOT STAY HERE PLAYING HOUSEWIFE WHILE YOU AND HARRY ARE OUT SAVING THE WORLD. SO YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT LEAVING ME HERE BECAUSE IF YOU DO I WILL HEX YOUR ARSE TO HELL AND BACK. IT WOULD BE JUST TO HELL IF I WASN'T SO SURE THAT LUCIFER WOULD RETURN YOU." Hermione screamed
Ron approached her calmly "Hermione, baby, you can't co-"
"DON'T YOU EVEN DARE TOUCH ME YOU- YOU IDIOTA INSOPPORTABILE. SPERO PUOI FARTI UN'IDEA INISI SUI AL PIU 'PRESTO. VORREI MA, NON VORREI SPORCARMI LE MANI!"
That was when he slapped her. It took a moment for the initial shock to wear off and then it was replaced by a blinding fury. Harry was upon Ron before Hermione even blinked. Sure Harry gave him a nice black eye but when he saw Hermione's face he stepped aside. Hermione loomed over the cowering wizard and with a quick Diffindo; he was no longer able to have children.
End of Flashback
She remembered the aftermath of her actions and smirked.
Mrs. & Mr. Weasley weren't that angry with her. Just mostly shocked
Ginny, Fred and Gorge laughed.
Percy covered his privates just in case.
Harry couldn't even speak!
Remembering the Weasley's only brought more sorrow. They were put into hiding a few weeks ago. Being related the 'Boy Who Lived's 'best friend is a hazard. Hermione learned this three days ago. They came home to a house full of Death Eaters. This sent Hermione into a rage. By the time the Death Eaters left at least six of them were dead. The brutal attack of her parent's home was partially the reason she decided to leave another reason being that she didn't want to hurt her parents by getting killed but, mostly because she couldn't stand the fear in her parent's eyes when they looked at her. It was as if she was a monster and she didn't deny that she was.
And so here she was steeping onto the newly arrived Knight Bus walking past Ernie and Stan and sitting down, not all there, as if she was a shell. It's setting in that she now has no life. She has no friends and now, no family. She had no one and nothing. All she knows is her name and that is alone. She hears Ernie call 'where to?' and she hears herself say 'Diagon alley'. With that the bus sped away into Hermione's new life.
It took nearly a half hour to get to Diagon Alley and all Hermione had to do was think about what was going to happen to her. She had gotten her Hogwarts letter right before she left her old house. She reached into her pocket and pulled out the unopened envelope. As she opened a separate letter fell onto her lap. She acknowledged it with interest, but decided to look at the letter in her hands. It said the usual and had the new supplies list; nothing new. She grabbed the letter that way lying on her lap and opened it. Her jaw dropped as she read the tight curly script that could only belong to Proffe- Headmistress McGonagall.
Miss Hermione Granger,
I am pleased to inform you that you have been chosen to fill the position of head girl. Your hard work and effort have made you the perfect choice for this job and I have no doubt that you will perform spectacularly well. You will share a dormitory with this year's head boy and, as a new installment, this year's prefects. The head boy will be revealed to you during the welcome back feast. Your new badge will be handed to you then as well. Congratulations, I know Albus would have made the same choice. See you at the start of term on September the twentieth!
My best Regards,
Headmistress Minerva McGonagall
p.s. I would like to see you and the Head Boy after the feast. He will be informed also.
She had been made head girl. All those years of endless studying had paid off. She could help but grin down at the paper. Hogwarts was her second, well now her only, home and now she could repay it for all of its hospitality. She sat there wondering who the Head Boy would be until Ernie called out her stop. The letter made her feel much better than before but, the nagging feeling of guilt, sorrow, and loss were in the back of her head and she figured they would never leave.
She skipped into the Leaky Cauldron and paid for a room. She unpacked her suitcases and was again presented with an unopened letter ...no… and unopened birthday card from her parents. Just as she was about to open it there was a loud thump on the floor next to her. She cautiously looked over and saw a large mass of ginger fur.
"Crookshanks? You scared me to death! How did you even get here?" She question and was answered with a meow.
"I brough' im' ere'" Said the familiar voice of a friendly giant
"Hagrid!" said Hermione as she jumped up to hug her friend; her only friend as of late. "How did you find me?" she asked.
"Well ere' I was buyin some food for lil' Crooky and then I see a lil' girl who reminded me of me lil' Hermione. Then Crooky ere' up an runs after er'. So I followed an ere' I am talkin to a not so lil' Hermione." He finishes.
Hermione can't help but look approvingly at her cat.
"An' what are you doin 'ere Mione?" Hagrid asks
"Oh" Hermione says "I'm staying here till term starts because…because my p-parents are on holiday" She stutters. She doesn't need to tell Hagrid what happened, she reasoned. It would only worry him.
Oh but doesn't he need to know that you have no family anymore? Her conscience fought...no... not her conscience...something else.
'No he doesn't I don't need to make a fuss about me' she retorted in her mind
Don't you?
'I don't'
You're falling dangerously close to a cliff, hon.
'I have no idea what you talking about'
Not yet.
She was shaken out of her thoughts when Hagrid picked up het trunk and started carrying it out of the room.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Weren't ye listenin? I ain't letting ye stay ere'. Ye will be stampeded. Don' ferget yer famous. I'm sure McGonagall will let ye stay at Hogwarts until term starts. Its only two weeks. And plus yer Head Girl.
"How did you know that?" She asked
"McGonagall told the staff already" He said walking away with Crookshanks at his heels.
She followed, not unhappy with the idea of Hogwarts to herself for two weeks.
"Did she say who Head Boy is?"
Hagrid chuckled "Of course she did. But I ain't telling yah"
"Why not?" She pouted
"Cuz' it's fun makin' ye guess" he said rushing to get ahead of her
"Hagrid!" She whined as she made her way through the crowd to follow him. When she caught up to him instead of letting her interrogate him he asked.
"What's on this year's Supplies list?"
"Oh um the seventh year books, crystal phials, potion's ingredients. All the same old stuff." She answered
"Good." He said "Meet me back ere' in an hour. I got some errands to run." He said walking away
"Okay!" She yelled after him
She got done her shopping in nearly fifteen minutes, a lot quicker than expected. Since she had time to spare, she decide to do one of her favorite things do to; window shop. She walked up and down Diagon alley looking at windows with a gleam in her eye. Her eyes wandered over to the pet store. She remembered seeing Crookshanks chase around Scabbers…Wormtail actually. Because in her world there's always another layer to things. It's not just a rat. It's a creepy man who betrayed Harry's parents and got Sirius thrown into prison. It's not just talking to McGonagall. It's being hexed and tied to the bottom of a lake. It's not just Harry's imagination. No, it's an ancient creature bent on killing muggle-borns.
Her eyes lock on a beautiful cat. Lying on an old pillow in the back of the store, she couldn't resist, she walks into the store and over to the cat kneels down and starts petting it. It really is a gorgeous cat. With long silky dark brown and black fur and a white chest that goes up past and under its eyes a little. The brown fur covers the sides of its face and reaches its big deep blue eyes the black fur lining them a little. With its pink nose and mouth and long whiskers, Hermione wondered why it was in the back where all the undesirables were.
"Well I'll be dammed" A raspy voice said from behind her "What is it with you and bratty animals miss? They always seem to like you"
She turned to see the same man who sold her Crookshanks. "What do you mean 'Bratty' " She questioned
"'Bratty' as in she won't let anyone near her." He said "Only you and some other kid was able to go near her."
"Oh it's a girl!" She said. "I wish I could take her but, I'm only allowed to have one animal at school" She pouted "Is she going to be put down like Crookshanks was?" She asked fearfully
"Oh no, don't worry. Luckily that other kid is coming back for her. He just needed to get his money from Gringotts and will be back soon, if you want to meet him. He left about …er…fifteen minutes ago and its only ten minutes to Gringotts from here so he should be back in" He draws numbers in the air, calculating the time. "In about five more minutes" He finished
"I would love to meet him, but I have to go meet another friend about now" She said walking out.
"It was nice talking to you!" She called
"You too" He called back
She made her way back to where Hagrid left her. When she saw him standing out from the crowd she rushed over to him and they made their way to Hogwarts, and the rest of Hermione's life.
This should be an interesting year.
