Prologue

"You!" yelled her boss, Mr. Chambers. Hermione, who had been sitting in her chair writing down notes, jerked her head up to him and saw that his finger was pointed to her.

"Y-yes?" she stammered, for her boss was quite frightening. Although an older, graying man who walked with a limp, he had a loud, overaggressive voice that seemed to always carry to the next room.

"What's your name?" he half spoke, half yelled at her. "H-Hermione Granger, sir," said Hermione, making the effort to sit up further in her chair and give her best smile.

"What was your high school experience like?" he questioned. Hermione didn't answer for a moment."Very good, sir. Although I will admit I wasn't the most popular person back in high school, but I got along just fine," she answered as best she could.

"Well, good, because you're going back. You enroll at Hogwarts Prep in one week," he said, "and now, moving on to the next order of business..."

Hermione immediately stood up. "But sir, I-I don't think I would do very well at this job. I, well, I'm not trying to be conceited, but I have a lot more knowledge than high school students, I don't think I'd fit in," admitted Hermione.

She really wasn't trying to be conceited at all. She had scored over 2100 on her SATs and had easily gotten accepted into Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. She was ranked #1 in her class and went to Yale to be a journalist. However she did have to admit that trying to fit in with a bunch of high school students would certainly become a challenge, although she knew it would be made easier by the fact that she could easily "ace" all of her classes.

"Miss Granger, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Passing it up would be like giving away a million dollars. If you nail this undercover story, you could be the most well known journalist in all of South Dakota, hell, you could be the most well known in the country!" roared Mr. Chambers.

"W-well..." Hermione began, and at that point someone stepped rather hard on her foot. She looked over to see her boss, Brian, raising his eyebrows and giving her a death glare. Of course he would do that; Hermione getting this job would not only highlight her career and accomplishments, but it would also highlight his.

Hermione looked at Brian, looked over at her friend Anita, and finally was able to look up at Mr. Chambers. "I'll do it," she said, although she felt things weren't going to go as easy as Mr. Chambers hoped they would.

"Excellent! Now, on to the next order of business..." said Mr. Chambers, as Hermione sunk down into her chair and brought her hand to her forehead.
