Hermione sleepily opened her eyes.
"Hey hun." Hermione smiled as Harry genteelly stroked her cheek.
"Sweetie, Professor Dumbledor is waiting for you.
"Why?" Hermione asked quizzically sitting up. Draco and Ron gave her concerned looks.
"Come on, He's waiting outside the portrait." Hermione's face turned to worry as Harry told her that.
"Okay, I guess I will see you guy's when I get back." Hermione said cautiously walking to the portrait.
Hermione sat down in the black leather arm chair looking uncomfortably at Dumbledor.
"Hermione, I am afraid I have to inform you of some bad and tragic news, this may come as a shock to you."
"w-what is it?" Hermione stuttered.
"Your father and mother were killed 43 minutes ago, we think it may be the work of death eaters, The muggle doctors informed us that it was a car accident. They called the school" Dumbledor pointed to a dusty black old phone in the corner of the room. " And asked if you were here." Dumbledor watched his top student's life crumble before her eyes, Hermione was sobbing into her hands.
"I will inform you when the funeral is. Miss Granger, If you need anything or have any questions or concerns talk to me about it."
"a-a-are you s-ure they are dead?" Hermione asked raising her tear stained face to look at him.
"Unfortunitally they are." He said sadly. "I give you my condolences." He told her. 'I don't want your fucking condolences!' Hermione thought angrily 'I want my parents!'.
"P-p-proffesor can I go now?" Hermione sobbed, Many emotions swirling around in her head, fear, devastation, hate, heart break and loneliness.
"Yes, Miss Granger you may, I am very sorry about your loss Do you want me to escort you back to the Gryffindor common room." Hermione nodded no and left. Hermione walked down Dumbledor's stairs, tears soaked her beautiful face. She looked around, no one was in sight , she decided to go for a walk to clear her head. Hermione's tears freely spilled out running her fingers alone the cold stone walls, her shoes clicking against the floor. She was in an empty corridor.
"Why them! Why did they have to kill them! For fucks sake why!" Hermione cried harder as she slide down against a cold stone wall.
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it ok
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
They may be empty and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of an Angel fly away from here
From this dark, cold corridor, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here
So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees
In the arms of an Angel far away from here
From this dark, cold corridor, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
In the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here
You're in the arms of an Angel; may you find some comfort here
Hermione felt herself being pulled into some one.
"It's okay sweetie." Hermione looked up and she was in Harry's arms.
"What happened?" He asked wiping away a tear from her cheek.
"how-did y-y-ou find me?" Hermione sobbed into his chest.
"It wasn't hard, I just heard a scream, I was coming to look for you, What happened?" Harry asked kissing the top of her head. Hermione pulled her knees to her chin as Harry pulled her closer. After a few minutes and a hundred tears later she calmed down a bit. She got up, Harry followed. She wanted to sleep, make it go away. Harry silently took Hermione's hand and lead her towards the Gryffindor common room, Climbing the stairs. They reached the portrait, The fat lady looked upon the. Hermione wiped the last of her tears away. Harry decided mentally that she didn't want to tell him yet.
"Why hello dears, What's the matter?" She asked. Harry shook his head signaling her to not talk about it.
"Bladderdash." Harry said. She swung open.
"Mione!"
"Hermione!" They both looked at her smiling. Hermione was about to break down again , she didn't want them to see.
"I-I-m G-g-oing to bed." Hermione said releasing Harry's hand and running up the stairs to her dorm.
"Hermione ! Wait-" Harry heard her door slam shut. Hermione slammed her door sliding down it. Instantly breaking down again. Hermione looked around her room hearing tapping, A big brown owl was at her window. Hermione pushed herself up and received the letter, sending the owl away. Hermione sat on her bed cross legged, wiping her tears away. It was a black envelope with a Ministry seal.

Hermione just looked at the letter in sadness. At least she would be living with some one she trusted and one of her best friends. Hermione wiped away another tear and picked up the muggle information which consisted of the deed to the house, bank cards and birth information. She put it on her bedside table and looked at the last letter. She unfolded it and a picture fell out. It was a muggle picture of Hermione's mom, dad, Harry and her all smiling. She put it on her pillow and began to read.
Dear Hermione,
I hope your getting through this, We don't want you to be sad, so don't cry. We love you very much and hopefully we have lived to see you graduate Hogwart's. You are such a smart girl, or hopefully a women right now. By now your reading this and we were probably in our 60's when we died. We probably watched you and Harry marry and we also probably have little grandchildren running around. And well, If we passed before this happens, We hope and know you will Marry Harry, Your father and I thought it was so cute the way you two looked at each other, when you were mad at him, happy with him. You get the picture. The first time I seen him I thought, Wow My little girl is in love. Your father thought the same too.
Hermione, Please don't be sad, We had a good life, We love you very much, You've accomplished so much so far! Please don't do anything stupid that would put that all to waste. We hope you agree with our choice to put Narcissa as your gaurdian. We hope you have a good life, We will be watching over you always. Don't take crap from any one. If some one is hurting you move on in your life and leave them, either it be a friend, Boy friend or husband. Well hunnie, Your father and I our proud of you. Just remember that, And if you want the Manor you can have it, I'm sure Narcissa wouldn't mind.
And Again sweetheart, However we died, You were the last thing that we thought of and please just don't cry anymore, we want you happy. Look on the bright side, Party when ever you want! Come on laugh a little.
Hermione wiped away a tear and smiled a little to that. We love you! Always will.Good bye Hermione,

Hermione hugged the letter tightly, laying down, steadily crying, eventually falling asleep.
----------------------------------15 minutes later--------------------------------
"How did you find her?" Ron asked finally breaking the silence.
"It wasn't hard, I heard her yelling, and well she was in an old corridor crying.
"What was she yelling?" Draco asked looking intrigued.
"Something like 'for fucks sake , why them?' I don't know it was weird, Do you think I should go to talk to her now, I mean she must have calmed down a bit right?" Harry asked standing up.
"Do you think you should?" Ron asked.
"I think you should Harry, Go comfort her if she needs it." Draco said giving him a smile.
"Yea, I guess so, I will be back in a bit." Harry said summoning his broom and zooming up. Harry knocked on the door. No answer, Harry slowly turned the handle, he seen Hermione laying on her bed, the moon light shining on her figure.
"Mione?" No answer, Harry went over and knelt down beside her bed, accidentally knocking a piece of paper off. Harry picked it up, looked at it for a minute. His heart broke reading it.
Dear Miss Hermione Jane Granger,

' Her parents were killed.' Harry repeated in his mind, 'killed, Please let this not be my fault.' Harry felt as though the Granger's were like parents to him too. Just like Mr and Mrs Weasley. He felt horrible. Not having a clue to do. He set the paper back down on her night stand kissed her forehead and blankly walked out of her room. He would ask the guy's, they would know what to do right? Harry slid down the steps . Harry's face was pale, Draco was the first to notice.
"What happened to you? Did you just see Voldemort?" Ron shivered at his name.
"n-n-n-oo Some thing worse." Harry said taking his chair and looking into the fire.
"Is Hermione alright!?" Ron asked getting worried.
"For now I think, I don't know how much longer."
"Why what's wrong?" Draco asked.
"H-h-er parents died…death eaters killed them…" Ron gasped. Harry wouldn't dare take his eyes off of the fire.
"Are you joking me?" they both asked.
"I wouldn't joke about something like this." Harry said sullenly. "Wh-at should I do? I haven't the slightest clue." Harry didn't blink. He was still staring into the fire.
"I don't know, Should we tell her we know?" Ron asked.
"I don't know." Draco and Harry said.
