A/N- Okay here is another story that just kinda popped into my head. I'm experiencing a bit of writer's block with Fighting Back and The Hunter so this is my way of pushing past that. I just read the line "oh, this will not end well." and decided to make something out of it. So you know it will be post HBP but I am keeping Dumbeldore alive for my own reasons, also Malfoy took Dumbeldore up on his offer of protection for him and his mother.So here goes. . .

Chapter 1- The Worst Luck

Hermione Jane Granger had to have the worst luck of anyone that I had ever known. First she's born with frizzy hair and buck teeth, then she ended up being a know-it-all bookworm. On top of all of that she's a muggleborn, or as some of the pureblood wizards liked to call her a mudblood. She was seventeen, in her last year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and had never had a boyfriend. She thought that she was such a loser.

Sorry for that. I started off in a ramble. Well, I guess for youto truly understand I'll have to start from the beginning which is actually the very beginning of her seventh year at Hogwarts. However, before I do that let me give you a little more detailed background.

Miss Granger learned at the age of eleven that she was a witch. She had been very anxious over the fact and had been all to excited to start at her new school, so she had rushed to get books explaining the wizarding world to her. Most of the details had fascinated her and made her all the more eager, however she realized that there was a nasty side to the wizarding world too. A fair few of pureblood wizards looked down on 'her kind' as they say. They believed that her being born to muggles made her lower than dirt. Miss Granger however kept her head high and was determined to prove to all purebloods that she was equal.

In her first year at Hogwarts she had discovered that her intelligence made many shy away from her.However, when she was cornered in the girl's bathroom by a fully grown mountain troll one night, barely escaping,she realized that life is all too short.She quicklybecame friends with two of the most amazing people that she had ever met, who also happened to be the two people that saved her,Ronald Weasley and Harry Potter. The three of them quickly became known as the 'Golden Trio' after defeating the obstacles protecting the Sorcerer's Stone and Harrydefeating Voldemort (momentarily).

In her second year she had been turned into a cat by Polyjuice Potion gone wrong. She waspetrified shortly afterwards by a basilisk. Sheand her two best friends had taken on a loony proffessor (though that was more the boys than it was her), Harry took on the basilisk that had petrified her, and once again Harry fought Voldemort. They had rescued Ron's little sister from Voldemort's clutches, and Harry freed the poor house elf Dobby.

In third year they had to pull together to keep Harry's dangerous emotions in check. They cleared an innocent man's name, rescued that man from certain death, saved a hippogryph who had been sentenced to death, and had used a timeturner for the first time. Hermione had used the time turner throughout the entire year because of her double work load in school.

Year four brought the Triwizard Tournament in which Harry was entered against his own will. Hermione helped Harry through all of the tasks easily, yet the Yule Ball presented her with a problem. She had realized around second year that she just was not attractive to the male of the species. However, she was asked by none other than the famous Bulgarian Quidditch player Viktor Krum, which was cause for amazing ridicule and embarrassing rumors. That was the night that she made her debut at Hogwarts as a young woman, and a beautiful one at that!

Fifth year had been difficult as well as they all had to face Harry's ever growing anger and hostility. Hermione became more and more scared by the 'vivions' that Harry had instead of dreams. They faced Umbridge's tyranical acts against the students and staff of their precious school. They fought their way through hords of Death Eaters and Hermione was badly injured.Lastly they had to lose one of their dearest friends, Sirius, Harry's godfather.

Sixth year went much the same for Hermione. There were strange attacks happening to many students. Eventually it was discovered that Draco Malfoy was behind all of it. He was ordered by Voldemort to killthe headmasteror his mother would die. When he finally corneredthe headmasteron the Astronomy Tower he couldn't do it and was offered protection by the very man that he was meant to kill. He and his mother took the offer eagerly and went into hiding with the Order of the Pheonix. Thankfullythe headmasterlived though many were injured and some even killed when Death Eaters raided the school with the help of Malfoy (before he changed sides). It was one of the most difficult years of their lives. They lost friends and loved ones in that terrible battle.

Having finally learned of the Horcruxes however the trio set out to find and destroy them over the summer. When they only found two Harry and Ron refused to go back to Hogwarts though Miss Granger was ordered back by her parents, proffessors, and the headmaster himself. She could not disobey. Ginny Weasley was also forbidden to take part in the perilous journey the boys would face.

Hermione was offered the position of Head Girl which she greatfully accepted. Just as she thought her luck was looking up, her parents were murdered by the Death Eaters during a muggle masacre. She spent the rest of her summer vacation at the Burrow with the Weasleys where she was made an official member of the Order as she was now seventeen. However Hermione's bad luck would not allow her happiness for long as she would soon discover in her finally year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
