Chapter One: A Special Girl

A young girl of only 11 lived with her parents in the outskirts of London. She was no ordinary girl as her parents found out when she was a toddler. They had tests run on her and all the doctors in London see her but the could not figure out what had happened to her. It wasn't until the summer of her 11th birthday that they finally figured out what had happened to their child.

Hermione Granger with her brown bushy hair, dark eyes, and fair complexion was sitting in her living room reading as she often loved to do. She was half way through her book British Science Museum, A History when an owled landed on the widowsill outside. She looked up and saw that it was carrying a letter. She put down her book and walked over to the window. The letter was embellished with a crest that said hogwarts with a lion, serpent, badger, and eagle on it. At once she opened the window and took the letter. She Opened it read that she had been accepted to Hogwarts School of witchcraft and Wizardry. She went to show her parents and it was only then that they realized why their daughter was so special.

Hermione wanted to find out as much about the wizarding world as she possibly could. She looked in every library and every museum she could find but their was no sign of any human being having the knowledge that there was such things as wizards. Finaly she looked back at her letter and realized that there was one place where she could find all the information she needed-Diagon Alley. She saw the directions on how to get there and took her parents there at once. When they arrived at there starting point-the Leaky Cauldron-she had to ask the bar tender Tom exactly what to do. They soon went to the Portal leading to Diagon Alley. It was a wonderful place where witches and wizards and goblins, hags, and so many other creatures she had never seen were milling about. She couldn't believe her eyes. Her parents were astounded never having any trace of magical ability themselves they would be what was called in the wizarding world a muggle. Hermione had her book list with her and her and her parents started going to the stores to pick up what she needed
