Chapter One: The Problems with Parents and Leaving Home

Hermione Granger sat alone in her room reading Hogwarts: A History for the hundreth time. Technically, she was contemplating what her life had to offer her. Her parents did not want her to attend Hogwarts anymore, and Hermione had no intention of listening to their rants. She was entering her final at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and was planning on enjoying it. Her parents did not understand her life anymore and wanted her to stop all the nonsense immediately.

'They just don't understand me,' Hermione thought to herself, 'and are never going to understand what it is like to be me. It is as if I do not exist to them anymore.'

"Hermione! Come downstsirs we want to talk to you right now" Harriet Granger yelled up the stairway.

Hermione shut her book and went to her room. "I am coming. I'll be there in just a moment." Hermione walked down th stairs and into the foyer where her mother and father were waiting.

"Let us take this conversation into the drawing room. I personally don't want the staff to overhear what I am about to say." Jeffery Granger stated.

The three moved their conversation into the drawing room. "What would you like to discuss with me mother, father?"

"I think that should be clearly obvious young lady." harriet Granger glared at her daughter. "We want you to stop attending that school of yours."

"Yes, I know that. And what if I do not wish to stop?"

Jeffery took this part of the conversation from his wife. "I think that is obvious. If you do not do as we ask, you will no longer have a place to stay. It's not as if we ever really wanted you in the first place."

"What do you mean." Hermione was shocked by what she was hearing.

Jeffery stared at Hermione. "You mean to say that you really have no idea? My dear girl, you were an accident. We were never planning on having chldren. You just happened at a point where you mother and I were not very careful in what we were doing."

Hermione had tears in her eyes, but the hurt was turning into anger rapidly. "If you did not want me, why did you keep me? Why did you let me have whatever I desired, and why did you let me go to Hogwarts in the first place?"

Harriet responded to her daughters questions. "We kept you because everyone knew I was pregnant. What would people say if they knew I was planning to give ny child away? They would have shunned us from the moment we let you go. We let you have whatever you wanted as a way to ignore you and still be considered loving parents. We let you go to that blasted school because it gets you out of our faced for most of the year. If you could stay there during the summer holidays we would have never let you come home. Does that answer your questions?"

"Sure it does. I will be out of your precious house by tonight. I don't want to take up any more of your precious time!" Hermione yelled at her parents. "Oh, and just so you know, I will not be returning here anytime soon. I hope you have an enjoyable life together after I am gone!"

Hermione ran up the stairs to her room and started packing all of her belongings into her cauldron and trunk. 'I know I am not supposed to do magic while on holiday, but this constitues as an emergency. Besides I am considered an of age witch because I used the time turner so frequently. If I get into trouble it will be worth it.' Hermione fnished packing, then she went to put Crookshanks into his cage, and send an owl to the Weasley's and Dumbledore.

In a matter of minutes Hermione was ready to leave her childhood home for the last time. Before walking out the door she remembered that she had forgotten something, the key to her Gringotts vault. She had transfered all of her money to a wizard acount at the beginning of summer because she hated to owl her parents and ask them to send her money that she could exchange later.

When she finally finished in her room Hermione walked down th back stairs and out the door. Then she pointed her wand in the air and waited for the Night Bus to come and pick her up.

She didn't have to wait long. The bus had arrived just moments after she stuck out her wand. The driver asked her, "Where to?"

"Diagon Alley please," Hermione responded automatically.

A/N: I know its not much, but I wrote this while I had a break from classes. Should I continue or should I just let it drop? BTW this will be a Severous/Hermione fanfiction in the future. Let me know what you think, Constructive Criticism is always a good thing.
