Hello everybody, Sakura Akki here. This is my first Harry Potter fan fic. I hope you all like it. Here is the Summary:

Hermione's parents have been dead for three or four years. Since the end of the third year at Hogwarts. She is living with Snape and is actually getting alone great. Going back to Hogwarts for her last year, something terrible happened in the first week and Hermione is killed. Everyone, even Snape is deviated. But there are some questions. Who killed her? Why is her death so important? And, Is she really dead?

Here is my first Harry Potter Fan Fiction. Be kind! Thoughts are in italics, my "Author's Notes" are bold, etc, etc. I do not own Harry Potter and all that Jazz. But the plot is mine. Here we go! On to the story!

Hermione Granger stretched and yawned, rubbing the sleep from her tired eyes. Sitting up in her blue poster bed. Smiling Dazedly, she gazed around the blue and gold bedroom she was so fond of. There was a knock on the door to her room, and then the door creaked open an inch. "Decent?" a rough voice called. Hermione looked herself over. "Yup, come on in!" The door swung open and in stepped a smiling Severus Snape. "Morning Sleepy-Head! Sleep well?" Instead of wearing those long black robes he was famous for, he wore a green polo t-shirt and faded blue jeans. His dark hair, no longer greasy from potion mists was pulled back into a low ponytail. "Yup!" He smirked down at a very tousled Hermione. "We're leaving for Hogwarts in a half an hour. So get ready." He chuckled and left the room closing the door softly behind him. Giggling, Hermione leaped out of bed and skipped to her bathroom.

Stripping down, Hermione stepped into the cold shower letting the cool mist wake her up. After washing her hair and body in lavender-smelling soaps, she hopped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around herself.

Hermione had been living with Snape since the end of her third year at Hogwarts. The year her parents died. He and his sister Selena were like make-shift parents to her. She moved in with them on that last day of school, after the long ride to the station, after all the tears and heartache, after it all went wrong.

She walked out of the bathroom, strode through her room and into her massive walk in closet. She pulled on her black lace lingerie and slipped on a pair of white kapris over top. She threw on a white tank top and slipped a black see through flowery blouse over top. Her hair, which had changed, going from bushy and brown, to wavy and caramel, she pulled up into a mess bun and let a few tendrils hang loose. She left her face make-up free because it would conflict with natural beauty. Walking back to the bedroom she stepped into her black sneakers and grabbed her already shrunken trunk and her hardly used wand from her bed side table. Snape came into her room as soon as she'd put the trunk and wand into her white and black beaded purse. "My, you look nice." Snape jabbed poking fun at Hermione. "May I ask the occasion?" Hermione gave him a far from friendly glare. "well, it is my last year at Hogwarts and the seventh years don't have to wear the robe so, I thought I should look nice." Sighing Snape retorted, "I know, Merlin do I know. You haven't shut up about it for weeks…now are you ready to go?" Snape added the last remark just so Hermione wouldn't protest any more and so that they could be on their way. Hermione snorted her response and with a pop they were gone.

I really like Snape as a good guy. I hope you guys do too. The reason for Hermione's Parent's deaths will be revealed so, I promise. Oh and by the way, this story has Voldermort in it but nothing past the Order of the Phoenix is used. I know there will be romance in this story but I'm not sure who with yet. But defiantly NOT Snape! Thanks.

See you all in Dream Land.
