A/N: Hello readers!!! Waz up? This is an all new story based on Harry Potter! I will update as much as I can, but with school it might be a little difficult!!! Neways, pleez enjoy the first chapter of ALL MESSED UP!!!

Chapter 1: An owl! But whose, I don't know!

Hermione opened her eyes to the bright sunlight creeping through her window.

She sighed. Another day. Another day of boring, no school, no work to do, no homework! So in other words: boring.

She rolled her eyes. Her mom would go to work. Hermione would stay home. Hermione shook her head. Since almost a year ago, there had been a missing member of the family: her dad.

His killer was no other than Voldemort. Yes Voldemort. He had taken Hermione and both of her parents prisoners during the war to bribe Harry Potter and Dumbledore to give in, but they didn't. They had killed Hermione's dad first, and were ready to kill her mom when the Minister of Magic and a bunch of Aurors arrived and fought them all off. The light side had won, but under tough consequences for Hermione and her mom.

Hermione still hadn't gotten over the fight completely. She still cried every time when she thought or talked about it.

Her mom seemed to take it very well or so it seemed. She works late nights and sleeps late in the morning. As soon as she wakes up, she goes to work. Hermione rarely sees her.

Harry and Ron are still her very best friends. They comforted her the night her father died, instead of joining the celebration going on downstairs for the end of Voldemort.

They still suck at school, (homework wise, anyway) and they still beg Hermione to do their homework for them. They still played wizard chess by the fireplace in the comfy armchairs, and to Harry's dismay, Ron still always won.

They are both pigs to Hermione and kind of annoying sometimes, but they always find a way to make Hermione laugh.

They all three still despise Snape, and most of all Draco Malfoy.

There had been a rumor around school that Draco likes Hermione, but Hermione thinks its all rubbish.

Hermione then remembered the time when Ron had called Draco a 'bloody death eater.'

FLASHBACK

"You BLOODY DEATHEATER!!!" Ron yelled at Draco.

Even though the entire school was watching, Draco still went very red in the cheeks and his hands became fists. He made a lunge for Ron.

Ron dodged him and pulled out his wand.

They were just about to kill each other in a battle of their wands when Dumbledore made his way through the crowd and called the whole thing off.

"SILENCE!"

Everyone went silent.

He looked at Ron and Draco.

For once in his life, Draco looked guilty.

"Now, would everyone please return to their common rooms?" Dumbledore said, in a quieter, relaxed tone.

And with that, Dumbledore disappeared in the leaving crowd.

END OF FLASHBACK

Hermione still had no idea what had triggered the fight. (aka: why Ron had called Draco a 'bloody death eater.')

Hermione deepened her thoughts on that subject. He could be a death eater in some ways, but in others, he couldn't. She hadn't really thought about that before.

Hermione was shaken out of her thoughts when she heard her mom's bedroom door open and close.

Hermione jumped from her bed and bolted out of her room. She saw her mom walk into the kitchen.

Hermione followed.

When she walked in, she saw her mom sitting at the kitchen table, eating a banana.

Hermione sighed. Her mom was on her way to work. The banana was her breakfast.

Dressed in a pair of jeans, tennis shoes, and an overlarge t-shirt that said, "JIM'S PIZZA: BEST IN TOWN" written on it.

Her mom looked up from the table to look at Hermione.

Hermione put on the best cheerful smile she could and sat down at the table, across from her mom.

"Good morning Mum!"

Her mom nodded and got up to leave.

"I'm going to work. See you tomorrow, Hermione."

Hermione's smile faded.

"What am I going to do all day by myself?" she asked, worriedly.

Her mom stopped walking and turned around to face her.

"Whatever you want, Hermione. Just do bother me at work," and with that she turned on her heel and walked out the front door.

Hermione sat back down at the table, hearing the front door slam shut and sighed.

She looked at the half-eaten banana left on the table and shook her head.

Her mom was even more freaked out than her to be alone in the world without Hermione's dad.

Hermione rested her chin in her hand.

'What to do? What to do?' she asked herself.

Hermione got back up and walked back to her room.

She decided to take a shower and get dressed.

Hermione opened her yearbook of her last year at Hogwarts.

She had taken a shower and was now fully dressed in a pair of hip huggers, flip flops, and a black t-shirt that says "I'm not weird, I'm gifted" in big bold letters.

Hermione smiled. She had opened to the seventh year Gryffendors.

Ron and Harry's faces were being goofy. She rolled her eyes.

'As usual,' she thought to herself.

Harry's eyes were crossing and he was doing the peace sign with his fingers.

Ron was pretending to pick his nose and eat it.

Hermione laughed. 'So Ron!'

Her eyes traveled to her picture. She was smiling innocently. Her bushy hair, which would have been everywhere was in long, lazy curls, drizzling down her back and shoulders. Her bright amber eyes shown with delight, sparkling.

'Why was I so happy?' Hermione asked herself.

'Oh!' she laughed, 'Pictures were taken on the first day of school! No wonder!'

Hermione laughed again. She turned a couple more pages and stopped when she reached the seventh year Slytherins.

She scanned the Ms when she spotted what she was looking for: Malfoy.

She looked at his picture. His pale blonde hair was hanging in his eyes and wasn't gelled back as usually is.

He wasn't smiling and wasn't frowning. He was... trying to look cool. Hermione finally decided and to be completely honest, he was cool. He was hot too. All of the girls liked him.

Hermione bit her lip. All of the girls but her liked him.

He was cute, though she would never admit it. That didn't mean that she liked him or was obsessed about him as Lavender Brown and many other girls did.

Hermione bit her lip harder. But after the 'Draco likes Hermione' rumor, she had noticed herself starting to look at him way more often than she used to.

Even Harry and Ron noticed. Even Ron!!! But when they asked her about it, she denied it and said she was 'just looking around the room, no big deal.'

She sighed, remembering that time. She knew she had lied. She had started to 'like' Draco for some time, but certainly didn't anymore.

She liked Ron. She had never told anyone. Not even her best friend, Ginny. Especially not Ginny! It was her brother for gosh sake! And if Ginny told him---"

A peck at the window interrupted her thoughts. She looked out.

A black owl was sitting on the window seal.

Hermione smiled. An owl! But whose? I don't know!
