AN/ I am on such a role! this writing fanfiction thing is addictive.

Dearest Hermione

Did you know how useful your gift will be before you give them? You gave me the miniature bag that can fit a whole trunk in and showed me how to use it to keep my book at the Dursleys, but did you somehow know they would help me when I was sent to some knew world? I write in this diary to you in the hopes that magic can do the impossible and get it to you.

I miss your mad hugs and the light atmosphere of Hogwarts more than you will ever know. And your knowledge. I expect you're having a great time in your new school huh? Or you've finished. I don't know how time has gone in your world compared to mine. I am meant to have aged 4 years but it does not seem so.

Perhaps you could tell me how I can heal things and change forms but do not age. There must be a reason but none of my books tell me so. I wish I could go back 5 years and not do so well in the triwizard tournament. Then maybe Voldemort wouldn't be back. Though I'm sure he would find a way.

I am hidden away in this new world. Vincent is afraid people will use my talent for bad and I am afraid too. The world I am in now is not friendly. Engineered people who are blonde live high above us and we are left in the streets below, forever hungry and willing to kill for the next meal. Did you know the blond people have slaves? Malfoy would love it here.

I am locked in this warehouse where the gang live. Vince is the leader; he is the one who I saved after Reid a rival gang leader stabbed him. Vince says he didn't realize it was Reid he robbed. He learn't from that mistake. He defeated him last year. I don't know who I feel more sorry for, the one who died or the one who killed him for nothing more than territory. There are three others in the gang Nate, Kev and Rat. They are all great but treat me like glass because of my healing ability and "feminine" figure. Sometimes I wonder if they really see me.

The people in the slums are called mongrels. I find the name fitting as that is what we are, scrapping over food and territory I can agree to the reference of dogs. It is sad but true.

You would not survive here Hermione, females are far and in-between and you would be fought over like meat. And then not treated right.

The days the boys all go out hunting are the days I go out "site-seeing" you could say. I heal anyone I can find that can be healed. The others don't know this, if I stay hidden I cannot be at too much risk. If I am I can easily transform into something small too escape, and I can easily heal myself. I find I may go mental in this protective prison.

I have discovered interesting things about my ability, I can heal wounds and I can heal symptoms, but I cannot heal illness. I haven't told this to the gang yet. Not that it matters here too much as you are more likely to die from a wound then a disease.

Have you killed Voldemort in the 4 years I have been here? When I first came here I had nightmares of Cedric and him. But now I find I am slowly forgetting.

I should be 19 and I am still stuck looking the same as I was when I was 15. How is this fair? Until I get bigger I don't think the others will willingly allow me outside alone. Now I know how Sirius felt. How is he I wonder? How would he survive here?

My magic is strange here 'Mione. I can no longer use my wand but if I imagine what I want it can be done. No spell work needed. I wonder what would happen if they found out this talent. I have not told the gang about my magic or my other forms either. I find that I am too frightened. Is that bad do you suppose?

What is to tell they will always be my friends? The bison gang leader Riki has been missing for 2 weeks, would my gang do that to me? Up and leave?

I find I am wishing more and more to leave this land, yet I find that a part of me is telling me to wait for something good around the corner.

I find I am pessimistic and wonder which corner out of many.

How many more years 'mione?

Markhal - I think this chapter answers your questions. if not ask again. i do not know how old riki is though so if you could tell me how old he was when he first was taken and then when he got back that would be amazing. was it said in the anima because i can't find it.
