A/N This is my first Harry Potter fic. Be nice and Review!
Chapter One:
Hermione sat at her desk, writing up what she thought was an appropriate ad for a job. So far she came up with,
An experienced witch, looking for work of any kind during the months of July and August. Willing to start working as soon as possible. Accommodations needed, if interested please contact, Hogwarts Great Hall.
Hermione read over the letter a couple of times and decided it was good enough; she summoned her owl, Artemis, and tied the letter to her leg.
"Just take the letter to the Daily Prophet office in London alright, Artemis, come back as soon as possible."
Hermione sighed as she remembers that Artemis was the only person at Hogwarts she could rely on. For the first five years, Harry and Ron had been her best friends. But ever since Harry got caught up in girl craze fever, he stopped hanging around her and Ron. Ron was a fun companion until when he told Hermione her feelings towards her, but Hermione being the person she was, rejected him. Ron got over Hermione, rather quickly, having picked up a very good looking Ravenclaw girl.
Hermione was snapped out of her reverie, when Ginny came bounding in the girls dormitory. Ginny glared at her for a few seconds, and then proceeded to packing up her bags, for in a week, they'd all be leaving for home. But not Hermione, she didn't have a home anymore, she had no where to go back to. In February, right when Ron dumped her, Hermione received a letter from professor Dumbledore informing her that her parents had died in an unfortunate car accident. As Hermione recalled the memories, she felt the tears that she had been keeping in herself, threatening to come out. She never told Harry and Ron about this, after all, they wouldn't care at all. No one else knows, except Professor Dumbledore making her quite alone.
"What's the matter Granger, your face looks worse than it already is." Ginny mocked her. Ginny never got over Hermione dumping Ron, for some reason, she thinks that Hermione thinks Ron was beneath her.
"Nothing that would concern your feeble mind," snapped Hermione.
"I was just worried that's all, you seem to be so concerned about leaving Hogwarts, but then again, why should you be, one likes you here!"
Leaving Hogwarts, those words filled Hermione with dread. The exact thing she was afraid of. Since she had no home to go back to she'd have to go to an orphanage, which might not let her come back. Even if the muggle authorities did allow her to come back she didn't have any money to pay for her tuition, and Dumbledore made it quite clears that he could not provide her tuition, but he did suggest that she should get a job and work for money to pay, which was the exact reason why she sent the job ad.
The next day was such a fine day, the sky was a perfect shade of azure blue, the wind blew gently across the grounds, making ever thing in its path so magical. Hermione sat down underneath the willow tree where she, Harry and Ron spent so much of their first four years outside. But she knew that it would never happen again, she would never laugh with them again, and they've drifted apart.
No one wants her now, she's a lone wolf. Harry and Ron both have girlfriends that occupy all their time. Hermione knew she was too ugly to attract any guy. Her busy hair was as bushy as ever, her face was plain; she never put on any makeup. Her parents were the only ones that ever understood her, but now they're gone too. They left in the world, all alone. The magic was the only thing that was precious to her, she can't lose that too, she has to take any work that comes her way.
"I'd go back inside if I were you, Granger; you wouldn't want the wind to damage your ugly head."
Hermione looked up and saw the pale face of Draco Malfoy, her least favorite person in the world. Malfoy has the urge to insult her any time he sees her. Standing next to Malfoy was Cho Chang, he's girlfriend. They started going out this year, after Cho and Harry split up. Cho was a pretty and nice girl, but ever since they started going out the evil side of Cho came out.
"I have no idea why you'd even show your head, one look at your face will drive any mad." Cho chipped in.
"You're already mad enough without the help of me."
"She's right, Granger, the mere size of your teeth is enough to scare anyone, mudblood."
"Shut your face Malfoy."
"Not so cocky now without your friends now are you, oh I forgot you don't have any."
Hermione clenched her fists together, but then thought better of it and stuff them into her pockets. She didn't want Malfoy's father to come up with a reason to sue her. She walked away from Malfoy as fast as she could, but not before his final insult.
"With a face like yours, I don't think your parents would own up to you."
There it was the feeling of sinking again, sinking farther and farther into a river of tears, Hermione quickly blinked very fast to hold all the tears in. Malfoy has always been like this to her, ever since she's been friends with Harry, at least that time Harry and Ron were there to defend her. Before she realized it she was right in front of the fat lady.
"Password?" Inquired the Fat Lady.
"What the hell good will it do, no one's going to try to break in!" Hermione yelled at her.
"My, my aren't we feeling a bit edgy today."
However the Fat Lady swung open to let her in. Hermione walked up the stairs and opened the dormitory door. To her surprise Artemis was perched neatly on top of her four poster, but there was something else in the room as well.
A/N I'm sorry this is so lame; I promise to make the next chappie better.
