You're Just What I Need

CHAPTER 1-- STRANGER IN THE ROAD

HERMIONE'S POV

Hermione Granger. Goody two-shoe bookworm. That's what everyone knows me by. I'm a very simple girl that gets perfect grades and obeys her parents all the time. Well I'm 17 now, and I say it's about time for a change in my boring life.

"Morning." I say as I walk in the kitchen and pick up a chocolate chip muffin.

"Morning dear. Going to Ginny's house today?" Mum asked.

"Uh huh." I replied. Today was my birthday, and Ginny said she got me a really good present. I've been looking forward to this all month and I don't need ANYTHING messing up my special day.

"I've got to go now." I said. I only ate a chocolate chip out of my muffin then set it down. My mother opened her mouth to tell me to finish my muffin, but I already upstairs changing out of my pajamas. I pulled out a dark red spaghetti strap tank top and navy blue flares and quickly changed into them.

"Bye Mum. Bye Dad." I yell as I rush out the door with my keys. If they saw my outfit, then they would start lecturing me. And I didn't need anything of the sort today.

So I started driving and turned on the radio. I drove for about 15 minutes then turned on a dirt road. I saw about 1/2 mile in front of me an animal lying in the middle of the road.

"Eww. Road kill." I said. 30 seconds later, I press down on the brakes to stop the car. I started walking over to it, and then realized that it wasn't an animal at all. It was a person. In fact it was...

NORMAL POV

"Where is she? She's late for her own birthday party." Harry said impatiently.

"I don't know. Maybe she slept in." Ron replied.

"Hello! Hermione Granger does not sleep in. Especially on special occasions like this. She's been looking forward to this for a long time. I wouldn't be surprised if she was here 2 hours early and asked to help prepare everything." Ginny said.

"Then what happened? Why is she late?" Ron asked.

"Let's just wait till she gets here." Mrs. Weasley said. "Be patient."

NORMAL POV

Hermione's eyes widened. What was he doing here? How did all this happen to him? Questions ran through Hermione's brain as she studied the face of the man lying on the road.

Hermione slightly shook the man to wake him. He slowly opened his eyes.

"Granger?" He whispered and then blacked out again.

Ok, there's the first chapter. Who is the stranger in the road? Remember to review!!!
