Author's Note:
I forgot to write this in and don't know how I forgot this for this is important. I made the heads NOT share a common room, the just have more important duties then prefects so they stay with their houses and you will not be meeting Ryder till later on, and I really don't talk about their duties till later even. Got it, get it, good

Chapter 8: Snap back into reality

And this chapter deal with Hermione running out of the Great Hall, after she learned that Garett died. The end of chapter 5: A Death

Hermione was in the back of the library cradling a pillow while sitting on a couch, she realize that her once wet face was dry; she had no more tears to cry.(hey that rhymes) Garrett gone, most likely murdered from Death Eaters. He wasn't suppose to get hurt, she was. She was the witch, he was the muggle. She knew evil, he didn't. She always knew that Death Eaters were still out there but never pictured them hurting her so close to home. Yet how did Garret end up murdered, probably by the Avada Kedavra curse but why. These thoughts were racing through Hermione mind, and finally these last two. Why did Garrett go home after he said goodbye and still who is her daddy.

"um Hermione" said a small voice. Hermione turned around to see Harry and Ron.

"Oh guys" Hermione choked out, and she started to cry again. Harry and Ron went and sat on the couch and held their friend while she grieved.

The next couple of week flew by fast, Hermione even thought she was excused from classes and even excused to go the Garrett funeral yet she denied it all. She went to classes and slowly began to fade away. She got depressed, and started focus a lot more on her studies. She finished essays in a day then took the rest of the time revising it over and over. She read anything just so she could stop thinking about Garret, the way he looked and smelled to her.

She also didn't have any comebacks when Draco and Blaise hit on her, she didn't even pay attention to them she just worked on what ever she was working on. For she found that over the years working on anything was better then thinking about the terrible things that had just happened.

:-:-:-:Flashback to when Hermione was 5, her Grandma just died of a sudden heart attack.:-:-:-:

Hermione wouldn't go to the funeral; she refused.

"OVER MY DEAD BODYY" shouted a tiny 5 year-old.

"Come on Hermy, we have to go"

"NO"

Over the next 2 months after Hermione's granny death she had organized the whole house and stopped seeing Garret. She had even alphabetize the movies in her family room, organized the whole kitchen including labeling the cabinets and such, she cleaned her room making it sparkle ever single day. Till one day she stop, her room reformed back to its formal state and went next door to call on her best buddy Garrett. Hermione was back to normal. Until she turned 7when her gold fish dead.

"Mommy, golden is dead," said a sobbing 7 year old.

"Oh honey its alright, they don't live that long anyways" Said Karen

"Mommy" Hermione cried.

Over the next couple of week she became to clean again and stopped socializing with her friends from school. Until she stop and was back to her normal self (if you could call her normal). Hermione parents became to understand this pattern, when ever something died and Hermione was close with it, she started to organize, clean, stop socialize, anything to keep her mind busy. Occupied with other thoughts other then the death that just happened. Her parents notice this pattern again when she was 8 (dog, Rudy: Hit by a car) and Cindy (a girl from school: died of cancer), 10 (Christy, pet turtle was suffocated by her overly large Aunt Missy), 13 (grandpa Fred, died of old age in the summer), 15 (Sirius although her friends never saw the full affect, due to she grieved in the summer).

:-:-:-:End flashback:-:-:-:

Hermione was busy revising her potion essay again for the 4th time, when Ginny pop up,

"Hey Hermione" said Ginny is a very easygoing tone.

"Hi" Hermione said not even looking up.

"Its your birthday tomorrow, excited. You are turning 18"

"uh huh" Hermione mumble.

Ginny turned to Ron and Harry who were on the other side of the room, giving her thumbs up. She drew the short straw. Harry, Ron and Ginny have all been worried about Hermione; they have never seen her like this. Harry and Ron have been asked by several teachers if Hermione ok, and they just said yeah she good and all, but the truth was she wasn't. She was a wreak, she didn't go to bed till 4 in the morning and then woke up at 7 and if she did go to bed earlier, her roommate heard her cry. So finally Harry, Ron and Ginny realize they had to do something, they drew straws to see who would be up the challenge.

"Hermione" Ginny said

"Uh huh"

"Hermione Jane Granger " Ginny snapped, she grabbed the potions essay right from under her nose.

"Hey give that back" Hermione cried out.

"NO, snap back into reality. Your friend is gone, murdered. Stop acting like it didn't happen, because it did." Ginny said sternly "We miss you, " and with that Ginny did something to the extreme, she ripped up that potions essay Hermione was revising "Snapped back into reality" and with that Ginny left the common room.

"My essay" Hermione eye were wide open " My essay, my essay"

"Hermione, get some sleep." Harry said as he mumbled Reparo to Hermione essay.

"Please do this for us" Ron said in a pleading tone.

Hermione look up at her friends, what had she become. She had taken this grieving thing the extreme. Tomorrow is a new day; her 18th birthday and tomorrow she vowed to return to normal.

"Ok guys" Hermione smiled "thanks, I'm sorry I have been weird and I know my life have been a little bit chaos. I'm so sorry." Hermione said hugging Ron and Harry goodnight.

"Tomorrow I'll be different, I promise" Hermione said as she walkup stairs to bed. But little did she know that tomorrow she would be different, but in a whole different way.

:-:-:-:-:-:Meanwhile:-:-:-:-:-:

"While according to Dumbledore, Adriana birthday is tomorrow. So is tomorrow the day I meet my daughter" Snape questioned out loud to his empty room "Is tomorrow the day?"

Author's Note:

Oh, what will happen next on Hermoine's 18th brithday?

I'm sorry about this chapter. It's more like a filler, I somehow need to get to Hermione birthday which is September 19th, to come faster and really I hate this chapter but I had an idea and went for it. Hope you like it and Hermione was born before Harry and Ron making her turn 18 NOT 17.

AND DON'T FORGET REVIEW.
and what do you think of the summary

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

Also, just for you preview of the next chapter (I love this chapter, one of my favourites)

"Who am I?" Hermione asked herself and then all she saw was black.

and

"Hey, girl who are you" yelled Ryder. Taking out his wand "This is the HEADS bathroom and you aren't Granger" He paused "but If I do say so myself, you are a gorgeous thing"

and lasty

"... I think we need to visit your mother right now" Dumbledore said slowly.

"Why, what does THIS have to do with my mother" Hermione paused "Unless, it also deals with my father" Hermione whispered.

Hope you enjoy your sneak peak, these are just bit and piece of Chapter 8: Changes.
