Character -OOC
MY FIRST HP FICTION, PLEASE ENJOY!
Prologue: After the bloody battle is over Hermione is the only one alive on the battle field, not even Hogwarts is left standing. Teachers, friends, students, and order members lay strewn across the battle field. The other side lost just as many, but Voldemort lives on. He fled into hiding soon after being severely injured, but he won't stay in hiding long. She retells her story to the ministry, but no one wants to believes that Voldemort is still alive, they all just want to believe it's over, but it's not, it's far from over.
(A few months ago)
The ministry brought me in for questioning, but it's not like they don't get the gist of what happened. They ask me to start from the beginning, but I tell them it may be a little to gruesome for them to take. But they insist I go on, so I do just that I tell them the beginning of the end of so many people's lives.
I tell them how everyone was nervous for the battle to commence, and how earlier that week some students fled home or others went into hiding. But the battle soon started and the weak and innocent were killed off first, some were quick and easy while others were bloody and went painfully slow. How, after just the first few minutes the ground was covered with blood and mutilated bodies. The kids from fifth year and up, plus adults, tried to protect the younger years, or what was left of them. As the battle went on the death total grew, people from each side were dying making Hogwarts look as if it was originally colored red. Harry, Ron, and I were fighting together and we thought the battle was coming to an end until something bad happened. A new group of death eaters apparated in front of the gates, ready to attack. We got separated by three death eaters, one each. I got cut off from my boys while the death eater took my wand and got me cornered within a matter of seconds. Thinking that I was going to die by his hand he told me how Voldemort was going to end the battle soon with a spell that acts essentially like a bomb, and how Voldemort supposedly put a barrier around all his death eaters. He had his wand trained on me, ready to kill, but a stray spell knocked him dead, letting me gather my wand and get away.
I was looking to tell everyone my new found information. Reading so much finally paid off since i recognized the spell andits safety charm.I put the charm on myself as I was trying to find the heart of the battle. Yelling out my friends names I tried to tell them what was about to go on, but over the spells being shouted, no one could hear me. The smoke created from too many incendio spells made it hard for me to find anyone visually, but that's when I heard the big BOOM. The last thing i thought, before the short time I was unconscious, was 'I'm too late', but when I woke, the air was clearing and there was virtually no one or thing left standing. In a mad panic I was twisting and turning in every way to try to get a glimpse of someone, and that's when I saw him. Voldemort. He was limping and holding his arm as he ran to the apparation point. Before he apparated he must have sensed someone and turned around. Once he saw me, he gave me a bow as if saying 'until next time', all the while his eyes followed mine with his pained yet arrogant smirk across his face, and then he was gone. Out of my revere I went in search of survivors, but everyone was dead. Death eaters, students, teachers, the Order, and miscellaneous people, either whole or bits and pieces, lay strewn across the grounds, not even Hogwarts was left standing. I went to find Harry and Ron, and they lay battered and bruised together. I fall to my knees, without shedding a tear, and gave them a hug and a kiss goodbye. I don't know how long I was there, sitting in their blood and holding their hands, before someone took me away.
And here I am telling you what happened, of course I left out most of the gruesome details and shaved off some unimportant bits, but now you know. As I got up to leave I could tell that what i said upset them greatly. Of course it wasn't the part of hundred of people dieing, How the boy who lived died, or the traumatic experience I went through, but the fact that Voldemort lives on is something I don't think they stomached well.
A few days later
Taking my first few steps into Diagon Alley, after being let out of the medical ward at St. Mungos, I notice the changes immediately. All shops were opened again and the boards shutting up all the windows were gone. People were walking in the street with smiles on their faces and not a care in the world. Trying to figure out the reason to all their cheer ilook to a local stand carrying newspapers, usually holding the current news in the wizardry world. And what I read made me go through a torrent of emotions. In bold print the title of the front cover read, Voldemort, finally dead. Skimming what the article held I realize the ministry can't and won't ever stomach the truth about Voldemort. Apparently Harry and Voldemort cast the killing curse at the same time creating a bomb like blast killing everyone in it's path, including the two wizards. But it gets interesting when i come into the picture, apparently my magic was strong enough to shield me from the devastating blast. In a mad rage i burnt the paper to a crisp and watched as it's ashes blew away, my soul drifting away with it.
Hermione Granger, the Hero. Where is She now?
Now that the war is over we look to a new age. One with Voldemort dead and our new hero being, not the boy-who-lived, but the girl-who-lived, Hermione J. Granger. The kicker is that over the past few months the world of magic rarely saw Hermione Granger. She sometimes would apparate in to buy something, but then abruptly leave. Sorces say she never socialized with any witches or wizards for more than was necessary. From the looks of what she bought on her rare trips to the magical world, people would say she's preparing for something, almost as if she were going to leave. Let's hope we won't lose the most brilliant mind of this generation.
