Chapter 1

Hermione Granger woke up to sound of the beeping of her alarm clock in her muggle home. She got up and grabbed some jeans and a black long sleeved shirt from the dresser and went into the bedroom's joined bathroom. Twenty minutes later she walked back out dressed and hair still wet from the shower. She left the room and went down the stairs down the hallway. She walked from the sitting room to the kitchen, which was the next room over. Her mother was at the stove cooking pancakes. "Hermione are you wanting to go to Diagon Alley today?" her mother asked. "Sure, Mom." Hermione watched her mother as she put a serving of food on two plates and set them in front of the two chairs at the table. Both sat down in a chair and started eating. Her mother spoke first. "Hermione, I need to have a lengthy chat with you before I take you to get your school things...There are so many things I should of told you before now." "About what?" "About...your heritage and your real father." "Mom, haven't we had this talk? I don't want to talk about someone who ditched you when you were pregnant with their child." "Hermione, your father didn't 'ditch' me, as you called it. He was killed." "Huh?" "And you're also not muggle born." "Does that mean I'm a half blood then?" "Yes, but not half muggle. Part witch, part vampire." Hermione almost chocked on a bite of pancake. "How can that be?" Hermione asked. "I'm a witch and your father was a vampire. The Dark Lord killed him. He didn't even know about you. I went into hiding as a muggle shortly after because I knew that if the Dark Lord found out about you, you would be in danger." "If I'm a half vampire then why don't I have any of their powers?" "Because half bloods receive them when they are sixteen. All half bloods are female and must mate two months after they receive their powers or they die. They must mate with a pure blood." "So shortly after I get my powers I have to mate?" "Yes and you will have a child." "So I have no choice really then." "I'm sorry Hermione. I never knew about any of this until I had researched it when you were a toddler." "Did you love my muggle dad?" "Of course. I wouldn't of married him if I hadn't." "Ok. My birthday is on the first day of classes." "Yes. You'll get your powers at 7:53 pm." "Will it be painful?" "Yes. Very painful." Tears filled her mother's eyes. "Oh, Hermione, I'm so sorry. I wish you didn't have to go through with this." Hermione got up and went to her mom and hugged her. "It's ok, Mom. I'm just glad that you told me. Let's go to Diagon Alley now. Oh, and don't forget, over the summer Harry got rid of Voldemort permanently so you don't have to worry so much anymore." "I know, 'Mione. I know."

It was September 1st and all Hogwarts' students were boarding the scarlet train. Parents were quickly giving their children hugs and saying goodbyes for it was almost eleven, which was the time that the train was to leave.
Hermione sat in the last compartment waiting for her friends. Harry and Ron hadn't written to her at all after the final battle. Actually, they hadn't even written back to the letters she had sent them. She wondered what was wrong.
She caught a glimpse of two people. One with black hair and the other with red. Harry and Ron. They were boarding the train with Mrs. Weasley waving to them with a tissue in her hand.
She decided to let them come to her instead of her approaching them.
She spent half the train ride reading up on half blood vampires in case she didn't know something about her transformation. They still hadn't shown up.
She put the book away and sighed. She was tired so she decided to sleep for a bit.
Twenty minutes later she woke back up.
Five minutes later she was snapped back into reality from a daydream by the door opening. It was the potions professor Snape. Hermione had forgotten that some of the teachers were going to be on the train ride to the school. The teachers were worried about ex-deatheaters attacking the train.
"Miss. Granger, why are you in here all by yourself? Aren't you usually flanked by Mr. Weasley and Mr. Potter?"
"Sir, I'm not sure where they are. I haven't seen them since we left the station."
"Well you didn't need to give a long explination. 'I'm not sure where they are,' would of done just fine," Snape said and left the compartment closing the door with more force than was needed.
"Asshole," Hermione said to the empty compartment.
