She saved me

by clairepeacocke

Hermione is still a powerful witch but what happens if even after she has erased her parents minds they are killed. Not by the death eaters but by some of the order who took it upon themselves to make sure that no one could ever find out that secret. That is going to do exactly what the hope not to do. Dark Hermione.

Hermione's P.O.V.

2nd May 1998

He had finally done it, all the sacrifices we had made all the loved ones lost, and it was all finally worth it to see Voldermort finally met his end at the hands of my best friend Harry Potter. We all stood there for a few moments not moving not believing that he was finally dead, but we all knew that even though he was dead the war was still not over, but we would still have time to mourn and sort our lives out before we had to finish it.

My first thought was that we the golden trio could finally relax and just be friends and I could finally be with Ron and maybe I could work on helping restore the Grangers memories, though I would have to find them first I know they are in Australia but where in Australia I do not know. Never mind that can all be dealt with in time for now we have people who need to be treated and the dead collected and their families notified.

5th May 1998

Today was the day I found out that the Grangers have been killed. It has been a few days since the Battle of Hogwarts, we have moved all the bodies most of the funerals are to begin in a few days, Harry had finally patched things up with Ginny and they decided to get to know each other again before they jump right back into each other's arms, Ron was happy to hear that he can only handle knowing his best friend and sister are dating in small amounts. Though I am happy for them and keep having to remind Ron what it must be like for Harry to see us together, his two best friends, with their tongues down each other's throats all the time.

I found out the Grangers were dead when at the order meeting earlier that day I had mentioned wanting to go find them and bring them back here and possibly fix their memories. That was when Minerva (she had banned us from calling her professor anymore) sat me down and told me that she had asked some of her friends in Australia to keep an eye on the Grangers for me. On the 28th of February she got a letter stating that on the 21st of that month the Grangers had been killed. That was all she said she could tell me and that there was nothing more that the order could do to help her find their bodies as it was believed that death eaters had attempted to force information out of them, despite it being well know that they had no memory of her.

She had gone straight to Ron and cried in his arms for hours, later that night I lost my virginity to him thinking that it would help the pain in my heart but it didn't. I knew the Grangers were not my real parents but no one else knew that and they had still raised me so to a degree they were my parents but not by blood.

12th May 1998

Many would say that today was the day I went dark but to me it was the day that my true self came out. After learning or the Grangers deaths I mourned them for a few days but then I decided that I had to find out exactly what happened to them because the only people who knew they were even in Australia was the order and Harry and Ron. That was when I knew that something was wrong and had I had to know exactly what happened and if the order couldn't help me then I would just do it on my own. When I told Ron my plan he lost his temper saying that I should just let it go and move on, when I tried to explain to him that I just couldn't he told me to either pick my dead parents or us. That night I was in Australia looking for my parent's house and talking to people. After a few days of this i learnt the truth and it showed me just how much I really knew about the people I loved.

As it turned out there was a small group of people in the order who knew I had a secrete but they but they did not know what it was, so behind all the others backs they got in contact with Ron whilst he was on the run and made him to believe that he should tell them where my parents were as they believed if the Grangers still lived then it would put everything at risk because they could not be trusted even with their memories gone. So Ron believe them and told them where they were, the group dressed up like death eaters and went on the hunt for the Grangers sure enough they found them and tortured them for the information because surely if I were to have gone to such great lengths to hide them, then they would surly know my big secrete. They Knew that whatever my secrete was it could change the outcome of this war and oh boy where they right.

That day I decided that none of them could ever be trusted so I left and made the choice that it was now time that maybe a new group of people should run this place and that I would be the one to lead this group. Now I knew on my own did not have any money or power to pull enough people to my side, but I knew who did even if many considered him to be a coward, I did not. So I got in contact with Draco Malfoy the only person I knew who would be able to rally troops and help me transform into the person I wish to be. Of course at first he thought it was just a trick by the order till I told him what had happened to my parents, and then he agreed to meet me at the leaky cauldron where we would then apparate to a hidden location to discuss it more.
