CHAPTER 1- Hermione Find's Out

Hermione was turning 11 in 3 day's and couldn't wait. She had a great life but didn't want to go to school ever again. Ever since she went there no one wanted to be her friend. Just to make her parents happy she told them that she had lots of friends but made out that their parents didn't like them having sleepovers when ever they asked.

She had a dog named Snuffles. He got into everything and made her laugh when she needed it. She would talk to him about things that were hard to talk to her mother and father. It was like he understood her.

"Hermione there's a letter here for you." She jumped up from her bed and ran down the stair's. Snuffles, who was lying across the bottom of her bed, ran after her and barked happily. She laughed as he nearly fell down the stairs.

"Thanks mum." She took the letter and sat at the bottom of the stairs and opened it. Frowning she looked at it over again. Before she could finish it there was a knock on the door. Her mother went to get it. Snuffles would normally go to the door to but he seemed to know that Hermione needed him. He touched her hand and she jumped. Looking at him she smiled and stroked his head.

Her mother walked through with an old man and she looked around the banister to see more of him. "Who do think that is Snuffles?" He gave a yip and went after them. "Hay! Get back here." She laughed and followed him. When she got to were he had gone she saw that her mother was talking to the man.

"Hermione there you are. Come and sit down please." She moved and sat down on the chair were Snuffles sat. It was the old man who spoke next.

"Well my dear I see you got your letter." He pointed to the letter in her hand before carrying on. "I'm Albus Dumbledore and I'm here to talk you through it."

"How do you mean? Talk her through it? What's in that letter Hermione?"

"Um I well you see..." She gave a shaky laugh.

"Your daughter is a witch and in September will be going to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Is there anything that you'd like to know?" Hermione didn't really want to know anything but about the school and if she could take Snuffles with her. She asked this and watched as Snuffles waged his tail and licked her hand. "Well I'm sure you could yes but he wouldn't be aloud to go to class with you. Oh and here are some books about Hogwarts." He got something out of his pocket and she watched as he used what looked like a stick to make the book's, as they could see now, turn back to there normal size.

Hermione looked surprised but took the books and looked them over. "But what about your school here and your friends?" At what her mother said Hermione looked up at her. Snuffles lowered his ears and looked down.

"It's ok mum I'd really like to go. Please?" She looked at her and sighed. She really didn't want Hermione to go just in case someone there knew her real family and tell her. But she also knew that Hermione wouldn't give up. She loved to find out things that are new.

"Ok but what do we tell people when they ask were she is?"

"Just say you sent me to a privet school." Hermione said looking through one of the books. Snuffles watched this and grabbed the book from her. "Hay." He ran off and she went after him laughing.

He went up the stairs and back into her room were he sat on her bed. She came in and glared at him playfully. "Give it back or you're staying outside tonight." His head went down and she laughed. "Ok but you won't sleep on the bed." At this he sort of gave her a glare. "If you're going to be like that I won't let you come with me." He got up and gave her the book that was still in his mouth. "Thank you. What do you say to a walk?" He gave a bark and ran to the door that she had closed.

He waited for her to open it before dashing off down stairs. Hermione came after him laughing. "Mum I'm taking Snuffles for a walk. We'll be back soon."

"Ok but could you stop off at the shop and pick up some things for me please." Hermione went and got the list off her mother who was still talking to Dumbledore. She said goodbye to him and ran out of the house with Snuffles.

As they neared the park Hermione stopped. "Lets go the other way Snuffles ok." He looked up at her and saw that she was looking at two girls that were sat down on a bench. He walked on. Hermione didn't like this and stayed were she was. Snuffles looked back and saw that she wasn't following. He went back to her and took the end of her jacket in his mouth and pulled her along with him.

She took her jacket back and sighed. "Ok, ok we'll go this way." They walked on and he watched as she looked down when passing the girl's. They'd gotten past when one of them spoke up.

"Well, well if it isn't bushy Granger. I thought we told you not to come this way again." Hermione didn't answer just stood there as they got up. Snuffles didn't like this and growled at them. "Awww look she got a dog. What's that little thing doing to do bite us?" The other girl laughed and went to kick him but he had already taken her shoe in his mouth and wouldn't let go. He was growling. Why he did all this the other girl had walked in front of Hermione and hit her across the face.

"Call you dog off now and we'll let you leave."

Hermione called Snuffles and when he was at her side she took off running. Snuffles ran with her wondering what was wrong. She sat down in the park and let the tears fall. It was then that he saw that she had a hand print on her face and that a bruise was just starting to form. As she was sat on the grass he went and put his head in her lap and let her take comfort from him. It seemed like hours before she was ready to move again and they made their way to the shop.

On the way home from the shop Hermione was glad that they weren't there anymore. When they got home her mother was making dinner and her father must have come home why she was out and was reading his paper on the sofa. Giving her mother the things from the shop she went up to her room and decided to get some sleep. Snuffles got on the bed and layed down next to her with his head on her chest. Tomorrow she would be going with her mother shopping and then next week going would be going with Albus Dumbledore to get her school things. Well that's what her mother had said anyway.
