Disclaimer: I don't own anything except for the plot... and Hermione's secret

Chapter 1

It was a regular night on Grimuald Place, the night before Hermione's seventh year. As usual, she sat in the kitchen next to the fireplace staring into the flames, a book in hand. The book she was reading was... her diary. As retarded as it may sound, she had been writing a diary all of her life. But now she must burn it, so that no one can find out her secret. "I must do it," Hermione thought as she threw the book onto the flames. As it was burning she ran to her room and cried.

Hermione opened her eyes to a wet pillow, and recalling what she had done the night before, closed her eyes trying to make it all go away. 'I have to be strong' she thought and got up. After she collected herself, she took a shower and picked out a nice navy blue summer dress with straps that showed off the calves that she now had as a result of the daily training she had done over the summer. She had full breasts now, and her hair had finally waved out to beautiful light brown waves all the way to her tailbone. She put her hair into a braid and levitated her Hogwarts things down the stairs and into the front hallway, careful not to upset Black's mother as she went. 'A new day is a new beginning' she thought as she went to eat breakfast.

Mrs. Weasley, Gin, Harry, and Ron were already there eating. She looked at them, said good morning, grabbed a piece of toast, and pranced out of there and into the Black's library. She engulfed herself in a book until Harry came in. he asked her, "What's wrong Herms?"

"Don't call me Herms, and nothing"

"There are tears in your eyes, and you were shaking and trembling all the way around the kitchen. Don't lie!"

"I would never lie, and it's nothing of your concern," she said lying.

"Hermione, please tell me what is wrong!"

"Nothing! Bloody Hell, there's nothing wrong! Leave me alone!" She stormed out of the room leaving the book and a pen on the chair. Harry sat on the book dazed and stared at the ceiling waiting for the slam that would soon come. SLAM! The whole of the house shook and Harry winced at the sound. He realized he was sitting on Hermione's book and quickly got off of it. He looked at the cover of the book and saw the words "My Diary" carved crudely into the spine of the book. Suddenly, he knew how to find out what was wrong. He opened the diary and found only one entry, it read:

"I finally did it, I got rid of my diary, and no one will ever know my secret unless I tell them. It is sad that even Harry and Ron, and not even my parents can know this secret. If anyone found out, I would die. To get rid of the diary, I burned it in the kitchen fireplace, and threw away the ashes. By the time anyone knows I have a secret, those ashes will be long gone. Hopefully someone will be near me as I die, and I will tell them what it is. Today I woke up like it was a normal day and-"

That is where the diary was cut off. Harry was astounded! Hermione had a secret that if anyone found out what it was, she would DIE! He put down the diary and ran out of the room in search for Hermione. Meanwhile, Hermione realized that she had left her brand new diary and pen on the chair in the library. She ran to the library and found her diary undisturbed (odd…). She picked it up and threw it in her suitcase, zipping it up as Harry ran in and gave her a hug. "I'm sorry"

"What, why"

"I was unkind, forgive, you have a right to keep your secrets."

"Ummmm… I guess I'm also sorry about the way I acted. I was really frustrated, I had a bad night" Harry went up to her and held her in a hug. Ron found them like that when he walked in. "Oh, am I interrupting something then?" He asked. Harry and Hermione both blushed and mumbled "No—it was just a friendly hug—we don't see each other that way" etc.

"Oh, okay, sure it was" Hermione jumped on him

"NO IT WASN'T THAT WAY RON WEASLY!" Mrs. Weasley walked in to a blushing Harry, a shaking Hermione, and a cowering Ron, "Now isn't it to early in the morning for a fight?" she asked, "Now it's time to be on our way, u each have five minutes before we absolutely have to leave, so try not to murder each other just yet. Save it for the train." Five frustrating minutes later, and Ron and Hermione refusing to talk to each other, they were on their way.
