AN: Hello all! Stay for a while and listen! This is a partly true story.. All of this happened to me, but the ending part. Which you will find reasonable, as i am typing this.. You'll see!

Disclaimer: I dont own the characters, but i do own the plot... stay away.. my plot!! pets the plot special plot.

But on to the story!!!

Her Shadow

The sorting hat of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy sat on its self, large volumes of books stacked to the side of it. This old and frayed hat was the cleverest of them all. But not only was it clever, it was wise too. This hat knew everything and anything, but not all these things were good, and cheerful. Oh, definately not! No, some of these things were dark and evil. These things, though, all took place with in the walls of Hogwarts.

Now, this particular story was a dark and sad tale. One could go as far as to call it evil. This was a story of Hermione Granger, one of Hogwarts brightest students. But this story is of How Hermione Granger was driven. Not to success, but to her end. Driven by the hands she trusted, cared for, and respected most. This is Her Shadow.

AN: Okay, theres your start off. As soon as i get this posted, im typeing the offical first Chapter! Now, before you flame me or what-not, let me tell you this.
