A Drop of Poison Blood

It was a cold snowy day. A chilling breeze was sweeping across the earth and a girl named Hermione shivered in the cold. A few people were giving her odd looks as she walked down the sidewalk. Maybe it was because of her shocking pink hair, or the fact that she was wearing red stiletto boots up to her knees, complimented with a red leather skirt with about ten layers of lacy chiffon underneath. Or maybe it could even be because of her matching red leather corset like shirt. 'Oh well." She thought. 'F them.' She sighed quietly to herself and paused to look at a black dress in Hot Topic. 'Hm. Maybe I should get that.'
Ever since Hermione's parents were killed during Sept. 11, she had not been the same. She was snappy, angry, and equally perturbed that old ladies would look at her and shake their heads while going "tut, tut. What a shame that children think they have to look like that."
Hermione was actually excited for once. She was finally going to get to go back to Hogwarts. But right now she was headed to Diagon Alley to do a little school shopping. She was humming quietly to herself as she headed through the Leaky Cauldron and stepped up to the brick wall.
She made sure no one was looking as she raised her finger and did the same motions that she would have done with her wand. 'Good thing I mastered wandless magic over the summer.'
Her face brightened as she stepped into Diagon Alley. Just being here made her feel alive. She loved the rush she experienced first walked into this place. All the noises and smells and, well everything. She let out a small chuckle and sighed contentedly. Then she hurriedly made her way to the Borsen's Books and Quill's shop. She said hello to Mr. Borsen just like she always did. Little to say he looked shocked. "Hermione! You look…."
"Different" finished Hermione.
"Well……Yes! But you look great!"
Hermione chuckled and said to him, "So where's the new collection?"
"Right over there." He said, motioning to a bookshelf in the corner.
Hermione ran over to the new books and grabbed at least ten. She then walked to the counter and paid, and the she left. After she left she started heading towards Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions. She was staring at the sky and whistling when all the sudden she connected with something solid. Very solid.
"Watch where your going." Said a very familiar voice.
She looked at the person and suppressed a gasp. 'He obviously does not recognize me.' She thought. "Why don't you watch were your going, you stupid bouncing ferret." She retorted.
