Prologue
****************
In twenty years, I have never once wished I could settle down and start a family. Sometimes my parents still ask me what happened to their perfect daughter. Actually, I prefer being sneaky and sarcastic as opposed to perfect and haughty like I've always been known to be. My job doesn't call for sympathy much, anyway. No, I'm not the Mistress of Magic like I was recommended to be. I'm a spy and loving it. Though you might think I live alone because I've turned bitter or something, I don't. I live with four other wonderful people: Lindsey, the youngest of us all with firey red hair has recently graduated from Hogwarts with Ginny Weasley and despite what you may think, she's got a mean sense of fashion and isn't afraid to show it. Next is Tara, the resident blonde. Of course until I dye mine. Ha ha, just joking. Anyway, Tara is twenty like me, and she majors in Fashion Design. In my opinion, it must be very hard to design all the styles of robes for wizards, but she's a top brand label so I can't complain and she certainly can't. And then there's Natalie! Where to start? Ok, first of all, she's 21 and is engaged to a guy named Brad. He's so cute and always picks up the same thing every Friday night: Hot Chocolate and Starbucks crescent rolls with blueberries on top. Danielle works for the Department of Defence Magic at the Ministry so I sometimes see her in the morning when I arrive at my job. However, she sent in an application to Hogwarts and is going to leave us to teach. Now for Evelynn who is 22 and is still single, however dating her good friend Jacob. Evelynn has the best job of us all, she's a full time Auror! She has all this weird gadgets spinning around in her room, I never clean in there because I'm afraid something might shoot laser beams at me and make me get amnesia or something. Lastly, there's Nikki. She's 26 with a husband and two kids: Laura and Malcolm. She once had a job, but had to quit because she was having the twins. So now you know my "family" but they are far from the people I used to know. I just wish I could run into someone from my past life....
Yours truly,
Hermione Granger
