Prologue

Disclaimer: I own nothing, although I wish I did, but I don't =(

Hermione Granger stood at the front of the Great Hall, proudly shaking hands with Professor McGonagall. She had graduated top of her class. After she shook all the professor's hands, she sat back down at the Gryffindor table. Her bushy brown hair was pulled back in braids and her honey brown eyes were shining. After the last person went up to get their diploma, Dumbledore stood up and looked around.

"Students! We bid you a very fond farewell! Hogwarts will miss these great seventh years. I hope you all do well on your own in the real world! Now before the year ends, I would like to congratulate Hermione Granger, being top of her class, I would like to offer her a job at the school, if you would see me after the feast please, Hermione, now, let the feast begin!" Dumbledore said and sat down.

The plates filled with food and the Hogwarts students ate and talked happily. Tonight was the last night that Hermione, her friends, and all the other seventh years would be eating in the Great Hall. The doors of the Great Hall opened, and a hooded figure walked in. The hall went silent. The figure walked up to Dumbledore and said something and walked out. Dumbledore's face went pale. "Students under 6th year, go to your dorms quickly, 6th and 7th years, follow me," Dumbledore said, walking swiftly out of the hall.

The students, though confused did what they were told. Dumbledore stopped inside the main entrance hall, he turned to face the students. "This is the day that we have been training you for, as you notice, some of the students weren't here tonight, the war begins tonight," Dumbledore said. The students looked at one another, some looked frightened, some were willing to fight.

"Medi-witches up to the hospital wing, everyone who was trained for battle, it starts now," Dumbledore said gravely. The medi-witches ran away from the group up to the Hospital Wing, while the others walked out of the castle behind Dumbledore. The younger students gathered at the window, and watched in fear of the advancing deatheaters on their friends, classmates, and relatives. The teachers ran out of the hall to help Dumbledore and the students fight.
