Title: Don't Let Me Go

Chapter 1: Harry's Bloody Owl

Hermione granger, 20 years old, lived in her own flat in muggle London, a street away from The Leaky Cauldron. Hermione wasn't the luckiest person ever, she didn't have the best year. Her parents were murdered the night before Voldemort's death, Harry and Ron rarely saw her, Lavender and the Patils were extremely annoying next-door neighbors, Ginny was with her husband Harry all the time, and Bill, Fleur and Charlie were never around.

The only people who were always there for her were Remus, Luna and her husband Neville, and , and Teddy too, such a cute kid, he was.

Everyone was pretty much the same as always.

But Hermione Granger wasn't.

Since she graduated from Hogwarts, Hermione had become a total 't get it wrong, she was still the same smart bookworm, it's just she wasn't innocent anymore. She dressed like a punk, rode a skateboard, and was a perfect example for a rebel. But on the inside, Hermione was an emotional mess, and no one other than Luna, Remus and Tonks knew that.

Hermione was using a spell to dry her hair; she'd just gotten out of the shower, when she heard a 'pop', and someone calling her name.

"Bloody permanent wards", she cursed under her breath. "Just a minute!"

She opened the door and went to the living room,where Luna was sitting on one of the smiled when she saw her best friend.

"Oh hey Luna".

"Hi,I just dropped off to give you this letter that was accidentally sent to me."

"Letter? Oh,who is it from?"

"I think it's from Harry,Hedwig delivered it,so it's either from Ginny or ,I better be off now,I have to go to Diagon Alley. Mr Ollivander needs some help with cleaning his you tonight."

Luna flashed her most dreamy smile and before Hermione could say anything,disappeared with a rather loud 'pop'.

Tonight.

That word hung in the air for a while…

"Tonight",Hermione muttered, "What do we have tonight?"

She opened the letter,which was indeed from Harry and…Ron?

Dear 'Mione,

Sorry we haven't been able to owl you lately,Harry's bloody owl was never ,did you hear that Bill and Fleur had a girl? They named her Victoire. Victoire 't sound right to me.

The scribbling and unreadable handwriting was over,and there was the neat part of the like Harry had taken over the letter.

Please ignore Ron's obsession with family I was at the Ravenclaw vs Slytherin Quidditch match the other day when I saw someone rather .Snape says ,Severus Severus in,our potions master.I think Ron almost had a heart attack when he saw him.I have to go now,but expect us to Floo in sometime in the near ,well I,have a surprise for you.

Later 'Mione,

Harry and Ron.

Hermione almost snorted when she read that Snape said Hi.

Moments after she finished reading her letter,Harry's face appeared in the fireplace.

"Mister Potter! You scared the daylights out of me! 10 points from Gryffindor!"

Harry smiled. "So you read the letter?"

"Yeah,Luna stopped by earlier,Hedwig accidentally sent it to her."

"That bloody bird,he's been hit with the confundus charm not long ago."

"Let me guess,a fellow Slytherin I once knew?" Hermione grinned.

"How did you…? Oh anyway,Molly says dinner at The Burrow tonight,but she needs you to stop by at Number 12,Grimmauld Place,to get a package from the door that Hedwig sent by mistake."

Harry was almost gonna laugh at the lie he made up,but he kept it to himself.

"Package?Can't anyone else pick it up? But anyway I'll go I you Harry,and please remind Ron to just Floo here instead of writing a bloody took me ages to read his part".

Harry laughed. "Yes,I'll tell him,anyway I'll be going now or Ginny will be furious. Bye"

Then the green flames whirred and Harry was gone.

Later that night…

Hermione looked into the was wearing some deep purple combat boots,a black tank top and a camouflage patterned utility jacket,some black tights under a pair of destroyed and ripped light denim wore a little bit of foundation and some clear mascara,and her hair was in a messy bun.

Over the past few months,her hair had become a nice shade of black-brown,and her eyes were almost as grey as….Sirius Black's.

How she missed that teenage crush,he still loved him,though no one he fell through the Veil right in front of her eyes,she felt like committing suicide to possibly join she got over that,and decided to live dragged those memories out of her mind and focused on what she needed to do.

"I need to go to Number 12,then go to The Burrow." She said to no one in particular.

With one last look into the mirror, she apparated to Number 12.
