Tying Up Loose Ends

I'm gonna start a new Hermione story soon, I will keep updating this one though so don't worry!

Wondered what happened to hermione in the summer?

...................

She couldn't stand it, everywhere she went at school she'd get funny looks and people would snigger at her and point.

Feeling her pain, Harry tried to comfort her. "Don't worry, they'll get bored after a while, believe me I know"

"That's different you weren't up the duff"

"Er, well I know, I'm just trying to make you feel you better." Harry said putting his arm around her.

"Don't make it worse by people thinking it was you who did this" she pushed his hand from her shoulder, Harry stood in the corridor and had an idea.

"Hermione? What happened last summer? I mean how did you find out you where a Vampire Slayer?" they carried on walking

"You sure you wanna know? It's a long story"

"Course! Any reason to miss Snape's lesson!"

"Okay, but if you get bored you can't blame me."

"I won't" They had reached the grounds by now and Hermione tried her best to get in a comftable position.

"Two days after school ended this new family moved in next door, you know that the house is huge so obviously there was a lot of people. There were mostly girls, most around our age some slightly older. There was also a girl with blonde hair. She seemed to be some sort of 'mum' to them. Told them off and stuff.

She had a sister called Dawn, who I became friends with and we hanged out a lot, she told me why they had to leave America. She said that they were part a witness protection programme, I didn't believe it. Her sister, Buffy, had fostered the other girls after they were part of a street gang who had gotten into trouble with some unmentionable people. That's why they moved next door. Anyhow, I hanged with um and they seemed okay people, I didn't tell them I was a witch, and Buffy didn't tell me she was a slayer.

A couple of days later, some more people moved in, they were older than the girls, there was Rupert Giles, Willow Rosenberg and Harris. Giles would talk to Harris the entire time saying he must study if he wants to be a watcher, at the time I didn't know what a watcher was. They said he was studying to be a Security Guard. He seemed to be more interested in making me laugh than anything else, which he succeeded in doing!

Then everything changed. One night I woke up after hearing load noises and screams from next door, I climbed out of my window and I saw Buffy being thrown across the room. A deep voice was saying, "Come on slayer! Try your best!" It was freaky; I was thinking what's a Slayer? Then I heard someone in the bush. I turned to find Xander pointing at me to get in the bush, "Face it Slayer, without you friends, your nothing!" I heard one final scream and Buffy was dead. The thing with the deep voice stalked out, he was a large guy, with a mixture of weapons strapped to his back. I jumped over the fence, and broke in to try and find the guys. She started to cry, "And in front of me was Buffy, her polo neck jumper was blood soaked. It was such a horrid sight. I knelt down next to her and stroked her hair. I remember it so vividly, I felt her twitch, I shouted Buffy! And then she grabbed my hand. She said struggling to find the words, "Last longer than me" and I felt this serge of power go through me, you know that feeling when you've found the right wand? Like that, but much more intense. I felt a hand on my shoulder, Xander had walked in, "you're the slayer," he said he was covered in blood too, but it wasn't his.

"Hermione the Vampire Slayer"
