A girl with brown hair down to her chest went out to collect the mail.
Walking out , she noticed a strange envelope with her name on it. Walking
quietly into the house , she took off her jacket and put down her book bag
in the blue painted kitchen. Putting the other letters on the kitchen table
, she sat down on a chair and examined the letter. Junkmail? No , it seemed
too well done to be junk mail. It had strange green ink on the cover.
Carefully breaking the seal , she opened the letter. She gasped in question
at what met her eyes.
' We are sorry for the late informing of of your acceptance at Hogwart's school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. You have missed the first semester of your fifth year , therefore , we will be sending someone to pick you up for the second semester on December 31st , we are well aware that you may not be in the position to get your own supplies. So we are sending a fifth year student to guide you and your companions through Diagon Ally to get your school supplies. Due to your extremely late notification , you will have to begin as a first year in classes with fifth year priviliges. When you arrive , you will be appointed a student guide for the first week of school beginning in February. We also know of a family fund from many years before you or your parent's were born to pay for your supplies. We expect to see you soon , and I expect great things from you,
Albus Dumbledore.'
"WHAT?!" the girl shreiked , very confused at the letter. Her?A witch? Then again.....
((FLASHBACK))
"I hear you're just a weak little girl , you wouldn't dare try to stand up to me when I have a gun," said a man in dark robes.
"B-but , I thought we were friends," she stammered.
"You thought wrong!You stepped right into my trap. Your parents would pay a pretty penny to ensure your safety , wouldn't they?" he said , taking out the gun.
"No!Leave them alone!" she cried out.
"Shut up or I'll blow your brains out," he snarled. She didn't know what it was then , but her fear filled her.
"Get away from me!!!!!" she screamed , closing her eyes and covering her ears.She heard a slam of something hitting the wall. Opening her eyes , she spotted the man on the floor across the room. Walking over , she saw him frozen in a look of surprise. She took in a large breath , and covered her mouth with a mittened hand. Running out from the abandoned warehouse , she vowed she would never talk or think about that anymore....
((END OF FLASHBACK))
That was only a month ago. It had scared her , but the strange letter had brought it up. About this money , she was also curious. She decided she would attend this school , then return to finish high school afterwards. As long as she attended the school , she could find out more about what her parents had hidden from her for so long.....

"Hey Ron!" Harry called after his redheaded friend. Ron turned and ran over to him.
"Harry , have you seen Hermione?" Ron asked.
"She's gone out for a walk , I think. She asked me to come but I told her that I was looking for you," Harry replied.
"Well , it's just that I have to talk to her , that's all," Ron said , not telling Harry exactly why he needed to speak to Hermione.
"Well , I need to speak to you as well," Harry said ,deciding maybe this was the time.
"It can't be as important , I'll talk to you later , Harry!Do you know where she's gone off to?" Ron asked , brushing off the strange tone in a rush to find Hermione.
"Okay , I guess," Harry said , but he couldn't help but feel brushed aside. He silently walked away , heading towards the Gryffindor common room to think. It had been a while since the three of them separated , they were almost joined at the hip as it was. Even though the three had been so distant lately. Harry walked into the common room. He spotted Hermione on the couch , looking into the fire. He silently walked up and sat beside her.
"Oh!Harry!You startled me," she said , closing the book she hadn't been reading anyway.
"You looked like you were thinking about something that was troubling you , do you want to talk about it?" he asked, playing his duty as a friend even though he felt disappointed himself.
"Well , actually , I would , as long as you don't mind listening," she said , turning to look him in the eyes.
"Ofcourse not!" Harry replied , smiling at his smaller friend.
"Harry .....I need to tell you something...." Hermione said , with a hint of nervousness in her voice.
