Preface

He couldn't see her face, but she knew he knew she was there. She held her breath as she saw the scene before her. Tears quietly pouring down. He turned around facing her direction.

"Hermione dear, you can come out its alright I won't hurt you." He told her. But Hermione Granger was not the smartest witch of their year for a reason. He knew he was holding a smirk upon his face.

"NO" She yelled, but quickly regretted it. She covered her mouth with her hands. But no use she'd been caught. Her father grabbed her by the hair and swung her around. He threw her against the wall at the other end of the hall way. She put her hand to her head and felt blood trickle down her face. She looked at her hand and saw crimson red on it.

"Now you tell anyone about this you'll be dead before you can anyways so why bother with this speech." He told her. She winced at his voice. She always knew her father was abusive but never had it been this bad. He kicked her in a few spots and then threw her down the stairs. She landed with a thud and in the living room.

She could feel more blood trickle down her face before she blacked out.


Dumbledore awoke with a knock at his door. Another knock was made as he slowly awoke and got up and to the door. He opened to see Minerva McGonagall at his door.

"Minerva what's wrong?" He asked the upset looking teacher.

"We just got a not from Potter." She answered

"Nothings wrong I hope?"

"Yes there is."

"What's wrong?" Minerva nodded her head and Severus Snape entered the headmasters office carrying a barely fixed Hermione Granger.
