Chapter 1- 'A Very Tragic Thing Has Happened'

This summer Hermione was taking a magical course in Transfiguration to become an animagus at Hogwarts. So during the summer, she stayed behind with Professor McGonagall and the other willing students to learn to transform into animals of any sort. Hermione wanted this to be a secret. Then when Ron and Harry came back this year, and she transformed into the cat that she always wanted to be, she could listen to their conversations everywhere! Oh, that would've been fun. Hermione chuckled at the thought of this at the beginning of the year.

            Today her class was over, so Hermione decided on taking a walk in the garden. She smelled the beautiful flowers that were as colorful as a rainbow. She placed it in her hair. Then continued strolling, smelling the freshest air in all around Hogwarts. Then she heard a pair of footsteps behind her, approaching near.

            Hermione turned around to see the Headmaster of Hogwarts standing in front of the rosebush. Dumbledore leaned over and motioned his hand to her to follow him. Hermione quickly let her robes drag across the floor as she followed Dumbledore.

            "Professor, what is wrong?" she asked him, jogging close to her Headmaster to keep up his fast pace.

            "Ms. Granger, please be quiet for this is a very tragic thing that has happened. We are going to my office immediately," he answered quietly. As soon as they approached the gargoyle, Dumbledore murmured the password and quickly walked up the steps of the staircase.

            "Albus, please calm down!" Professor McGonagall said as she held his arm. He nodded and sat down at his chair.

            "Please have a seat, Ms. Granger," he told Hermione. Hermione didn't hesitate. Her heart was pumping very fast. What the heck did he mean when he said 'This is a very tragic thing that has happened?'

             Professor McGonagall stood near the bookcases, listening quietly to the discussion that was going on between the Headmaster and her favorite student.     "Hermione, you have to go back home." Dumbledore started. He swallowed and continued. "Please, this is a family discussion."

            Hermione nodded. "What happened? Is someone… dead?" she finally managed to say. Dumbledore ignored her request but continued speaking. "You have to go to the Forbidden Forest and apparate. It is the fastest way, Ms. Granger." Hermione nodded again. Then she stood up. If Dumbledore wasn't going to tell her, she'd have to find out herself. Professor McGonnagall went over to Hermione.

            "You understand that you will still be returning to Hogwarts after you come home, Hermione. But you may stay as long as you like at home. I'm very sorry," with that she exited the Headmaster's room. Hermione looked at Dumbledore, who looked at her.

            "Please hurry along." Hermione nodded at this and took out her wand.

            "Apparate to 'home'!" she cried out loud. Soon she was swept off her feet and a blackness occurred. Later she was standing at her dining room, looking at the dining table that stood before her.

            "I'm home. Now what is going on?" she said aloud.
