Hero No More

Chapter 1

A/N: This is the new version of the story Hero No More. Updates will be long cause I'm busy but this time I will most likely update. Enjoy.

"Harry Potter" the disembodied voice said, "I knew you would break."

Uncle Vernon. Not that he deserves a name. Not that anyone deserves a name. Humans are ugly creatures, magic and muggle alike. All they can be are moving piles of flesh. The last thing I want is to be bothered when I'm working. My master piece. The wonderful job of watching as the blood flows down, soaking the deepest corners of life a dark red that turns black over time. The feeling of the crisp cut and the cool of the blade across my burning skin as the blade is inserted into that very hotness, reaching my core. Then you can watch as the blood falls all around it. A temporary feeling of something, anything.

I look up at the large pile of flesh in front of me and give him a smile. I can see the fear in his eyes. A look that can only be pulled from something when they feel their vital life force that makes their mounds of flesh move is threatened and right now he feels threatened. I know what I must look like to him. A heap of nothing covered in red, smiling up at something but with nothing but death in the eyes. A black void in the chest that threatens to consume everything and take it with me, which is what will happen if I die before I kill.

"We're leaving! We won't be coming back till your gone to your school, if you last. Don't bother coming back. You're not welcome not that you ever were. You were just tolerated."

"Can I have your knives?"

With that he ran. A littler later on I heard car doors slam and the squeal of tires as they raced away from their insane blood relative. They are gone. Finally I'm alone.

"Harry!"

I woke up screaming his name. I had an awful nightmare. He was dying, his precious blood was oozing out of him. He was lying face down, I'm not sure where! Snap out of it! It was just a dream Hermione Granger! I rolled over and looked at the clock, 4:30, then at the calendar, his birthday!

Time to go! It is 2:30 in the morning and I can't be late to the train. I hurried and got dressed then shrunk all of my things for the long journey to the train. I had a ways to run and thanks Merlin that I learned how to shrink my stuff. So, with my stuff in my pocket I left the house and began to run.

While I ran I realized what kind of shape I was in. I had muscular build and thanks to running every where I wasn't short of breath. I am about 6'4" and I weigh about 150 pounds. I'm not s awkward now but I still own the messy hair. My eyes have turn darker green almost a cloudy emerald color. I still only have clothes that are way too big and have a drudgery appearance.

Finally I made it to the station with only one-minute to spare. Thank goodness because so far I have been able to avoid everyone and anyone I know. The train ride will be long enough as it is. Time to get on. I can't wait to give my surprise at school.
