DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Harry Potter, J.k does, and last time I checked I wasn't her.

It was a bright summer day, the last day of summer for one girl who was very excited to get back to school. To continue her facade.No one know that she was once a bad girl, she was the most feared, but still most popular girl at her school once, and then the letter came, thank god. If it hadn't this girl would be tormented beyond anyone else's belief. If you knew her from her current school, Hogwarts School Of Withchcraft and Wizardry, you'd think of her as a goody- two-shoes, preppy, know-it-all. So if you had known her before, you'd think it was just a figment of you're imagination.She was bad to the bone.(a/n: for lack of better term, hehe)

That's how it all started. Her mother died the year before she was accepted into school. Her father went out and got drunk everynight after her death for three straight weeks, then he'd come home and beat her. But it ceased for a few days, he had dissapeared, and she had assumed the worst(or best in this case) that he had died, or was injured beyond repair, not to diffrent from her heart and soul. But no, he came home a week after being missing, with a new wife! Her name was Elizabeth to her father, but she was forced to call her (by her stepmother) Mom, and she hated it. Since her mother died her perfect(or almost perfect) life had been torn to shreds. Her letter came soon after the marrige, and often late at night, Hermione wished to be Cinderella, even to be so terribly treated it could not compare to the same treatment by your father. She got beat more often than orriganaly. Her stepmother would occasionaly join in, but more often would just mentally abuse the younger version of Hermione.

Basically Hermione couldn't wait to be out of her home. It was about nine, and her "mom" and dad would be home soon, dad drunk, and mom just being her usuall bitchy self. They got in between nine and three every night. She was hoping it'd be later so that she might not be put through seeing them like that, she'd bring Cammy(her new baby sister) into her room, bolt the door shut, use her magic(she's now of age) and hide in her closet like she always did. She used her magic even before she was of age, but somehow, no one ever knew. She was told the other day that she was adopted, and that made her extremely happy. She is also supposed to meet her father tonight according to the the prophecy Dumbledore told her of.

FLASHBACK TO LAST YEAR(6th year)

Hermione was sitting in Dumbledore's office for what she had no clue, but she was about to find out. He spoke finally!

"Ms. Granger, do you know what a prophecy is?"

"Of course, a prophecy is-" Hey, he cut me off!

"I am well aware of what it means, but are you aware that there's quite a few that revolve around you?"

"How many?"

"Oh, quite a few, but only one is important at the moment.The one telling of your real father"

"Real father?"

"Yes, you're adopted!, you didn't know. Well as I was saying,the prophecy goes like this:

The young girl, who was once good, twice bad, will soon be put up to a choice to stand strong next to her friends who never knew, or fight the fight with those who would find out, and would help her cope.In the end she knows what she must do, will she stand by her true love, or will she fight the on the wrong side, for the wrong reasons, because of people who were friends. She will come across a new heritage, a half-blood and the daughter of the man who was thrice defied by his opponents parents."

"Oh my god, professor that means......."
