A/N: This is my first fic…please review!

Chapter 1: Dance for Eternity

"Please! Don't kill my parents!" Hermione yelled from the arms of Antonin Dolohov. Hermione watched as her parents lifeless bodies were thrown to the ground by none other than Lucius Malfoy.

"I think the mudblood needs a lesson in shutting up and taking her punishment quietly, don't you Dolohov?"

Dolohov just laughed and then slapped Hermione across the face. She fell silent knowing that if she wasn't quiet she would suffer the same fate as her poor, innocent parents. I'll probably never see Harry or Ron again. I'll never take my NEWTs or have kids or get married. I really wanted to have an actual conversation with Professor Snape that did not involve house points. Her silent musings were interrupted by Lucius Malfoy.

"Well Mudblood, I think its time to end your life. Avada Kedavra!" Hermione closed her eyes and prayed that it wouldn't hurt, but suddenly Remus Lupin burst in and said, "Repello!" The two spells hit her simultaneously and suddenly she felt as if she was floating. This must be what it feels like to die. Now I have an eternity of peace. This was her last thought as she drifted into nothingness.

A/N: I know it's short, but the chapters will get longer. Promise!
