Disclaimer: I don't own anything other than merchandise and, of course, this Fanfic.
A/N This is my first attempt at an actual story (my other FF have either been HP songfics, and I've done a Two-Shot), so go easy on me, please! The story length will probably depend on how many reviews this story receives. And if people aren't interested, I won't continue. Oh, and I might change the title if I think of something better. If anyone has any title ideas I'd love to hear them!
Anyways, I hope you enjoy!
Chapter One: Intro
Hermione's eyes desperately searched for her best friends, Harry and Ron. She hadn't seen them since Professor Dumbledore had announced the night before, that today Hogwarts would be hosting it's very first parent visitation day. Hermione planned to spend the day in the library. There had been an attack during the summer while she had been at the Burrow and her mother and father had both been killed. The Order was still investigating, trying to find the Death Eaters responsible.
Today would be hell for Hermione. Any one of the prejudice purebloods that would soon be in the school could be the ones responsible for her parents death. And Hermione would continue to beat herself up about the murder. She should have spent more time with her parents. If only she had been there to help them...
"I'm telling you Drakie, the old coots gone barmey! As if my father would want to be in the same building with all the muggle scum!" Pansy 'Pugface' Parkinson scoffed, smirking at Hermione as she passed.
Hermione felt tears in her eyes and she blinked hard. She couldn't let the stupid Slytherins get to her. She gritted her teeth and willed Ron and Harry to walk through the doors. She sat down at the Gryffindor table, and sure enough, as soon as breakfast appeared, Ron sprinted into the hall, practically dived onto the bench and slid beside Hermione. Hermione wearily rolled her eyes, "Where's Harry?" she questioned, eyes hollow. "'arry? Oh, 'e's o'pen aron som'ere."
"Honestly, Ronald can you at least attempt to use proper table ettiquette?" Hermione asked half-heartedly.
"Naw, you know me 'Mione. Anyways, I said he's moping around somewhere. Thats all he ever does, since Sirius..." Ron died off once he saw the glare Hermione was sending him, and restarted quickly, "Anyways, I think he's with Ginny." Ron said, grabbing a piece of toast off Hermione's plate. She nodded, knowing Ginny still had a crush on Harry. The girls had spent many hours at the Burrow, plotting. How could they get Harry to stop being a typical clueless boy? They had had absolutely no success. Boy's and obliviousness just went together. It was like Ron and food.
But that was before she was told of her parents death.
"What on earth was Professor Dumbledore thinking? Having all the purebloods mixed together with the Muggleborn parents? For Merlins sake! Can you imagine the fatalities that will surely occur? And what about all the students whose famillies where killed by the Death Eaters? Huh? The Death Eaters, may I add, that will be within these walls in a few short hours! And what about Harry! Having Harry in the same building as the Death Eaters is asking for trouble! And what about the Dursley's? Surely they won't come-" Hermione asked swiftly. "'Mione! Calm down, we already discussed this. Dumbledores brilliant, but mad." He shrugged as if that explained everything. "And Lupins coming to visit Harry." Ron patted Hermione's hand akwardly. Hermione blushed at her foolishness. Of course someone would come visit Harry.
Fifteen minutes later, Harry walked in, followed by Ginny. Harry sat on her left, so she was sitting between Ron and him. "Morning 'Mione" Harry said as he reached for a muffin. Hermione nodded. And as soon as she opened her mouth to say a generic greeting, Dumbledore raised and the Professors immediantly ceased their conversations. He stood up at the Head Table and put his wand to his neck, to slightly amplify his voice. "Students! May I have your attention for a moment? I will make this short, so you all can continue your conversations about my sanity. Thank you! I'm sure you are all aware that today is Hogwarts first ever parent/guardian visitation day?" He nodded as he saw some first years nod exitedly. "Okay, the magical parents have already either flooed here, or have taken a portkey, and the House Elves will be picking up our non-magical visitors momentarily!"
