CHAPTER 2: Hermione Who?

Hermione Granger had almost made it out of her bedroom to leave for Diagon Alley, when Harry's white owl Hedwig pecked at the window. After a quick pet and a treat, she took the parchment that was attached to Hedwig's leg and shooed her off. As the owl flew out of her room, she sat on the bed and read his letter.

Hullo, Hermione! I would like to know where my best friend has run off to? It's so unlike you not to reply to any of our owls. Is anything wrong? Summer holiday at the Weasley's isn't the same without you here, too! Ron misses you like crazy and Luna is almost beside herself trying to get him to perk up. It's quite funny really, just imagine Luna trying to be funny. She's already weird, but now she thinks she is a comedian! Ginny and I have finally started dating. It's too bad that you couldn't make it to Mr. Weasley's ball that the Ministry threw for him when he became Minister. Hope you are enjoying your holiday with your parents. We will be in Diagon Alley this weekend if you would like to meet us.
As always your pain in the butt friend
Harry

"Thank you, Harry!" she set the letter on her bed. "Now I know I won't be seeing you today." And she walked out the house. She made her way to the Leaky Cauldron, mostly thinking as her feet walked with no guidance. She quickly made her way through shopping so that she could get to her friend Dana's house. Dana was the one girl she could be around and never be good old Hermione. Dana had bumped into her at the mall one day and the two quickly became friends. Dana had brought out the wild side of her. She had taught her how to have real fun and let loose.

As she left Diagon Alley, many young wizards made cat calls at her. She would smile and wink at a few of them just for kicks, but on the inside she was screaming. She knew that she was just a mere mudblood to them. The thought made her walk faster.

A smile reached her face as she walked up the drive way to Dana's. Music was playing in the garage. Then a guy walked outside to smoke a cigarette. Mac, a guy that she knew through Dana, was twenty one and really cute, was always around. He saw her approach.

"Don't go in yet." he warned. "Gage is harping on everyone because Dix is messing up on her vocals"

She let out a laugh. Dixie was the one girl vocalist that she knew that could never get all her notes right. "Does this mean I have to help her?"

"Nope, sorry babe, it means that you are taking her spot tonight. After today, I think she's gonna get the boot from Gage. You know how obsessed he is with his band."

Inside the garage, Gage was yelling at Dix. When he saw her, he quit yelling and a smile came across his face. She made herself at home on a couch. Mac sat down with a nonchalant arm behind her head. Dixie walked over to Hermione and sat on the coffeetable in front of her and started talking. After twenty minutes, she was singing with Dixie, Mac was playing with some small gadget in the center of the room, Gage struck afew chords on his guitar, and everyone was talking. Finally, Gage yelled out that it was time for the rehearshal to start, Dixie pushed Hermione into her spot and went back to the couch. Hermione stood there in a state of shock that Dixie was making her take the lead vocal spot and the black haired girl was a spectator. But just afew minutes, and Hermione was in a blissful place, forgetting where she was and what she was doing. When practice was over, Gage cornered her.

"Since you are leaving so soon, how's about you do the lead tonight? Dixie has something wrong with her throat, so she can't sing. You know it will be awhile before you'll be around again. Please My'e?" he said in a sugary tone, adding her new nickname just to rub in the fact that she wouldn't be able to deny him.

After alot of heavy convincing, she went home to change. She had to meet them at a club called THE POISON APPLE. This was not the first time that they had talked her into something like this, but she didn't care as long as she was there, enjoying the beat of the music. There was no problem singing in front of a crowd because after the first few seconds of a beat, her body and mind was lost and the ryhthm took control of her body. She put on a pair of tight dark jeans that hung on her hips, a mint green tank top that tied in the back, cast a charm on her eyes so that they were as green as Harry's. With a final look in the mirror, she left.

Hermione met up with her friends and went inside. The club was packed for being so early. She began to dance after Gage told her that it would be about a half hour before they would start to play. A guy walked up to her and started to dance. The poor guy couldn't match the sex of her dance, no matter how hard he tried. Mac seemed to have noticed and walked up behind him, placing a hand on his shoulder, he said, "Excuse me, but what do you think you're doing dancing with my girl?"

Upon seeing how built Mac was the guy left. Mac took the rest of the dance with her. "Sorry My'e, but I thought that you could use the help."

Another guy across the room seemed to have noticed her, too. Only she knew him. Blaise Zambini was watching her, but she knew that he couldn't recongize her. She had charmed her appearance everyday to another look. She knew that her secret is safe. No one at Hogwarts would ever know that good girl Hermione was dancing in clubs, singing in a band, or anything else that she did over the summer. With a quick pat on the butt, Mac pushed her off to the stage. She took her place along with the others, glad that Dana would be her back up. The beat started as she never take her eyes off Zambini, then she lost control as she begin her enlightenment.

Now I will tell you what I've done for you50 thousand tears I've cried
Screaming deceiving and bleeding for you
And you still won't hear me
I'm goin under
Don't want your hand this time I'll save myself
Maybe I'll wake up for once
Not tormented daily defeated by you
Just when I thought I'd reach the bottom
I'm dying again
I'm goin under
Drowning you
Falling forever
I've got to break through
I'm going under
Blurring and stirring the truth and lies,
So I don't know what's real and what's not
Always confusing the thoughts in my head,
So I can't trust myself anymore
I'm dying again
I'm going under
Drowning you
Falling forever
I've got to break through
I'm going under
So go on and scream
Scream at me, I'm so far away
I won't be broken again
I've got to breathe
I can't keep going under
I'm dying again
I'm going under
Drowning you
Falling forever
I've got to break through
I'm going under
Going under
Drowning in you
I'm going under

The crowd starting moving in a hypnotic state at the sound of her sound. Even those who are standing around trying to catch attention of others. There on stage was Gryffindor's goody-goody princess singing her heart out, yet no one knew that is what she was. To them, she was a temptress named My'e who shows up and puts them under her spell. To them, she was their salvation. To her, she had no salvation here, but her body loses control and it's the closest thing she had all summer. After an hour and a half, she went back to the dance floor until Mac offered her a ride home.

The house is empty, which makes her glad. No parents to scream that she just walked in at three in the morning. She may love her parents but here lately, they have acted like she was an awful disease. Once her dad slipped off at the mouth and called her a mudblood when her mum wasn't around. But her mum still knew that something had happened to her baby girl and would sneak in her room late at night to hold her. When she asked to go to the Weasley's, her dad had barked that they were leaving and that she had to 'watch over the house'. That was when she had met Dana. A week after school had let out, she was at the mall shopping for some new clothes and Dana had approached her to ask for directions. But even though she had just moved into the area, she had met alot of people and was more than glad to make Hermione part of her new group. And was more than thrilled when she found out that Hermione could sing.

It had been very entertaining to watch the band rehearsh, but now they had made her one of their own. The one thing that she had to make herself apart from 'Hogwarts Golden Trio' and she was more than pleased.
