Title: The Magic Begins, Chapter Two
By: Taylor Bathel
Authors Note: Hello all! I finally got the second chapter up! Yayaya! Some of you may have been wondering what took me so long, even if you were not. :) I had a huge case of writer's block. I hate writer's block! It comes at the most annoying and worst times! Well I will stop rambling and get on with the story. Bye!

Hermione Elizabeth Granger was a brilliant child for the day she was born. By the time she was 6 months old she could walk and talk as clear as a 5-year-old. Debbie and Tony Granger knew from the beginning that there was something special about their daughter. I am not talking about the kind of feeling all parents feel about their children. What I mean to say is that the Granger's knew there was something extraordinary about Hermione and that she would grow up to be a great person. Not just a doctor or a scientist she was going to be something much, much more.
On Hermione's 1st birthday party, she could clearly thank each guest for their present. On her 2nd birthday she was receiving large picture books and reading them to her parents. That was another thing about Hermione that puzzled everyone, she loved to read. On her 5th birthday she was reading chapter books and talking with the air of someone in their adolescence years. She spoke clearly, loudly, and with great knowledge.
When Hermione was 7 her teacher advised that Hermione take an IQ test. When they went down to the hall of where it would be held it was filled with mostly children ages 10-16. The secretary laughed at Hermione and her parents when she found that Hermione wanted to take the test...however. She finally let her in. Hermione finished the test in 32 minutes out of a possible 60. 3 weeks later when the results were mailed home her score was just shy of 350. She was a genius. How was the question? How did this little girl growing up with dentists, as parents become to smart? Sure it was heard of for children to be so smart but surely, this was not a common thing, being 7 and smarter than most college students were?
As Hermione grew so did her knowledge, when her teachers practically demanded that Hermione skip primary school and start in a middle school her parents pulled her out of public school and placed her in a private academy with children her own age that shared her gifted knowledge.
However smart Hermione was, it was nothing compared to the dazzling stuff she could make happen.
On Hermione's 10th birthday, she invited 4 girls over for a slumber party. At about 12:00 in the morning all the girls showed a strong desire for hot cocoa. When Hermione went into the kitchen to fetch some she was disappointed when she looked inside the pantry and found there to be only 4 packets of hot cocoa and she was 1 packet short. After re-counting the packets for the umpteenth-time, and searching the rest of the pantry, she closed the panty door sadly. However, she suddenly got an inspiration to open the pantry door and when she did and re-counted the packets there were 5 instead of 4 she happily closed the door and thought nothing else of this feat. That same party while playing truth or dare Hermione was asked a rather embarrassing "truth" question and right when she was supposed to answer the question and power failed for a second and the game was pushed out of everyone's mind.
It was not just little things like these that Hermione could do...during a school physical education (which Hermione despised) lesson they were made to climb the rope. On Hermione's turn on the rope, the rope seemly got smaller and smaller until she was merely holding a piece of string in her hands.
Hermione could not explain these odd situations to her parents or anyone else but she secretly knew somewhere deep down that this was not where she belonged...she knew there was more waiting for her somewhere and when she found it she would be at home.
Authors Note: The End? I am not sure if this is the end of the story or not. I do not want to go all the way through Hogwarts, however I am not sure if I should write what it is like for her when she gets her letter. Please tell me what you think I should do. I personally like it where it is and I like the ending [if this is the ending]. Either way I am going to write a thank you chapter thanking everyone who reviewed! I need to ask a silly question though, .:blushes:. How do you make your writing bold? I know it has something to do with HTML but I am not sure what. If one of you could tell me in your review, I will be forever grateful! Thank you! ~ Tay :D
