It was the first day of summer and Hermione was already bored. Well, I guess I'll write Harry and Ron and maybe Ginny she thought but before she could write an owl came and pecked her window. She opened up the window and saw that the owl was Hedwig. "Hey girl, what does Harry want?" she asked she opened the letter and was surprised by what it said.

Dear Hermione,

I don't know about you but I am extremely bored and have nothing better to do then write so when it gets annoying tell me to stop. When are you going to the Burrow? If it's okay with you when you're leaving and I haven't already left could you get me? But that's entirely up to you. So, well I guess that's it.

Harry

"Well duh, it's only the first day of summer it's supposed to be short and stupid!"


"Hedwig isn't back yet?" Harry said to himself "I sent her out like 15 minutes ago maybe Hermione's writing back?"

Harry knew he had this uncontrollable crush on Hermione since fourth year and as the sixth year ended he knew that he better control it. Then all of a sudden a white bird flew into view.

"Hedwig!" Harry called relieved. "What does the note say?"

Dear Harry,

Glad too hear from you! I am, also, completely bored out of my mind and maybe I can fix that. My parents are gone for the entire summer well, not until next week but they said I could have a friend stay over and well you know. Would you maybe? Just wondering and anyway if not would you like it if I stayed at the Dursleys with you, for however long? That's up to you and, yes I'm going to the Burrow but on August first.

Hermione

p.s. I could do this all day long.
"Cool, I can spend the summer at mione's house!" Harry exclaimed

He started packing his stuff and decided to write back.

"I need to go to Abercrombie, and get some new clothes because Dudley's just are too big. " he said and walked out of the house.

"Hedwig! You're back!" Hermione said.

Hermione opened the window and looked out and freaked she saw Deatheaters on her block and got out her trunk and just threw some stuff like personal belongings in it and shrunk it into her pocket got her wand and ran to her parents room.

"Mum, Dad we have to leave now there's Deatheaters outside!" Hermione screamed. "Okay now I need help. Harry! He'll help me, I hope. MUM, DAD NOW!" she screamed again.

She opened the door to her parent's room to find that they were dead and a Deatheater there.

"stupefy!" she screamed stunning the Deatheater and ran all the way down the block dodging spells that were coming at her and she ran into a neighbors yard and hid between the bushes. Now more Deatheaters came into view.

"Come out, come out wherever you are." Bellatrix sang.

After they turned the corner Hermione left and ran far away until she reached the central of London and then she took a map and looked over to find Number 4 Privet Drive. Then she heard someone shout 'there she is come on' and ran. They hit Hermione with the cutting charm and she then had cuts all over her body. Then a Malfoy shot a spell at her which left a big long cut and she started bleeding badly. Before she knew it she was slowing down and blood was everywhere and things were getting blurry then she saw a store, Abercrombie, and she saw a young man with messy jet black hair come out. Then it all went black.

" Mione are you okay?" Harry asked they were at the Dursleys house and on Harry's bed.

"They're gone!" Hermione shouted before she ran down the stairs screaming. Once she was outside she began running then she collapsed and started screaming again and pounding her fists into the ground while tears streaked her face. Then, just her luck, it started to pour down raining while she was pounding her fists into the ground someone grabbed them.

" LET- ME- GO!" she screamed "NOW!"

She started kicking her legs around but Harry stopped her and she eventually gave in. Harry ended up carrying her back to the house she still had blood all over her and he saw a large bloody area stretching from her hips, across her stomach and up her back. He started feeling it and she winced.

"May I?" he asked

"mm hmm" she nodded

Hermione still winced with pain but she let him inspect her scar. She had a lot of other cuts too but this one was most important. He lifted her shirt up a little and looked at her for permission. She lifted it up just a little farther and he could see her ribs plain and clear. It looked like she hadn't eaten in days.

"Hermione, when did you last eat?" Harry asked

"Today's Saturday, right?" She asked. Harry just nodded

"Last Sunday I had a roll." She said her face looking as if she ate right everyday.

"WHAT! JUST A ROLL ARE YOU CRAZY YOU HAVENT EATEN IN LIKE A WEEK! AND YOU'RE NOT HUNGRY! ARE YOU ILL DO I NEED TO TAKE YOU TO A HOSTPITAL OR ST. MUNGOS? ARE YOU DEAD!" Harry asked in shock of everything.

"No, I'm fine and bread sounds nice right now. May I have some?" Hermione asked.

How about a buffet Harry wanted to ask her but he knew it would just make her feel worse.

"sure, do you want a drink?" He asked

"Water please" Hermione answered

They heard car doors slam then all of a sudden, uh-oh maybe I shouldn't of come here wait I didn't I was brought well more like carried but I still didn't oh I'm so confused, the door opened.

"BOY WHAT IS THIS? ANOTHER-" Vernon shouted. Then he stopped. He saw Hermione on the floor all bloody and she had bruises everywhere, she was wet and her face was full of tears, she was dirty she had dirt smeared across her face and hands, her clothes were all cut up and, yet again, bloody. There was blood and rain puddles on the floor and Harry came in at that moment with Hermione's bread and water.

"Maybe I should leave." She said "as I see I am not welcome here anymore. Bye Harry."

"No dear it's okay stay as long as you need." Petunia said. "You are welcome to use the guest room and would you like some medication and a nice bath or some food?" noticing Hermione's bones through her ripped up clothes and dark circles under her eyes.

"are you sure? I mean I could just go and live at my house until social security comes to get me and send me to an orphanage. I guess I could manage." She said.

"oh no" Vernon, Petunia, and Harry said in unison.

"Okay. Sure I guess I could use a shower too." Hermione said

She waited then got up to look for the bathroom and went through the kitchen, the dining room.
