Chapter 1: Hermione Granger
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from Harry Potter (unfortunately). I made the plot of this story up but that is all.
Hermione loved her life.
Her parents were wonderful.
Her friends were wonderful.
Her school was wonderful.
She even began to think herself as wonderful too.
Then, it came.
The morning it arrived was just like any other morning:
She got up, got changed, greeted her parents and got the post.
There it lay on the mat. Sitting perfectly innocently.
A letter. Just a seemingly innocent, thick, yellowy parchment envelope with:
Miss Hermione Granger
The Second Bedroom
18 Novella Drive
New Paging
Sussex
Written in emerald green ink on the front.
Hermione collected the rest of the post and put it on the table for her parents and then walked up to her room to read.
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore
(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards)
Dear Miss Granger,
We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31 July.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress.
"They await my owl?" Hermione muttered.
Inside she found a letter telling her about the equipment she would need.
As she picked the envelope to throw it in the bin, a small scrap of paper fell out.
It read:
Dear Miss Granger,
We are aware that you are the first in your family to be accepted into Hogwarts. You can get your equipment from Diagon Alley.
To get there, just ask the Bartender at the Leaky Cauldron ( In London) to be shown the way to Diagon Alley.
If you go on the 15th of July, you can meet Hagrid, our groundskeeper, at the entrance at 9:30. He will show you around and help you get all you need for school.
Yours sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore.
On the 1st of September, Hermione got onto the train finally, waving madly goodbye to her parents.
She would miss them so much. They were so wonderful. But if she was going to survive at school, she would need to be brave. She couldn't always rely on her parents. As Hermione sat down, the train began to pull away and she caught sight of a girl running along the platform running, waving and crying. She had flaming red hair and when the train got to the end of the platform, she wandered back to a small, plump, red-headed woman.
Hermione sighed and got changed into her new school uniform and robes.
She sure would miss her wonderful home.
