Chapter 1
Hermione wakes up in a cold sweat from a bad dream. She thinks back on what she was dreaming about.
Hermione was in a dark damp room it was silent until she heard moaning it was her family. "Mom, Dad, Lily are you all ok? Please! One of you answer me." "Hermione I'm ok" said the girl's mother. "Good. Mom are dad and Lily ok?" "Yes…but." The girl's mother stopped speaking because the door opened and a tall snake-like man walked into the room. "Aww look at the ugly muggle family and there ugly mudblood daughter," said Voldemort. He had a horrible look in his red eyes. He didn't even say anything to warn Hermione all she could see was a bright green light shine across the room three times and her family was dead. Hermione was devastated all she could do was stare.
Hermione stopped thinking about that horrible day and took a shower. She lived in the muggle world now she wanted nothing to do with the magic world not even with the man she loved since she was eleven years old.
All Hermione did was think of Ron when she wasn't thinking of her family. She thought about when they were dating, before the war got out of hand and her family was kidnapped.
"Come on Hermione. Don't be such a baby just jump in."
"But Ron I'm scared and I'm half-naked."
"Ok I wont look, just jump in the water."
"Ok here I come 1…2…3."
That day was great Ron and Hermione stayed in the water for hours that night, only to find out the next day that her family was gone.

Hermione was walking home from work. It was a Friday, Hermione thought, "Damn it's Friday, I don't have anything to do tonight I should go down to the pub and at least try to be social."
When Hermione stepped into the pub she saw a fair amount of people and thought, "Ok this shouldn't be that bad." Then she spotted two red-heads and another man with raven hair and glasses. "Could it be?" Hermione thought. "No way." Hermione against her better judgment walked over and tapped the raven haired man on the shoulder. The man turned around and said, "Hello do I know………..you?" Harry looked at the strange woman for a second then it instantly clicked, "HERMIONE! How are you? Where the HELL have you been?" When Ginny heard Harry yelling and screaming she turned around and her eyes lit up and she joined Harry. Then Hermione not paying attention to her former classmates locked eyes with the man she had been in love with since she was eleven. "Hi Ron," she said softly. "How have you been?" Ron didn't say a word. Harry, Ginny, and Hermione caught up on times and Ron just sat there then he snapped.
"Harry. Ginny. How can you be so fucking chummy with her she just left? She… she didn't tell us where she was going or how long she was going to be gone.
"Ron." Hermione said. "My whole family died. I…I didn't know what else to do."
"How about coming to us or just me Hermione, we were dating I loved you." That hurt Hermione. "Hell Ginny and I lost our father, two of our brothers, and a nephew. We didn't run we went to each other and Harry. You could have come to me." Ron ran out of the pub and went into the alley and apparated back to the Burrow. Harry and Ginny told Hermione to meet them at the Burrow the next day at four. Ron wouldn't be there and they left. For the first time in years Hermione apparated back to her flat and cried herself to sleep.
