Prologue: Fate Intervenes
Hermione Granger thought her life was going great. Not perfect, but after everything she and her friends had been through, a great life was what she was going to get. There had been a few casualties in their side of the war. Lavender Brown had been killed by Greyback, but she was avenged by Draco Malfoy of all people. The Death Eaters that had not surrendered or been killed were being hunted. Bellatrix, the Carrows, and Dolohov being amongst those that had fled.
The school was quickly rebuilt thanks to Harry's final act with the Elder Wand. After it was confirmed that Hogwarts was back to it original state, he snapped it in half and with Hermione and Ron's help, burned it and let the ashes scatter. Only Hermione knew and understood why. Harry didn't want the power, nor did he want to continue looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life. After that, Hermione helped the others bury the dead.
Then there was Ron. She and Ron had kissed before he left for his battle assignment. His actions during the battle were known only to Hermione and Dumbledore. She second guessed her decision to be his girlfriend several times after he had told her what he had done. She only agreed for two reasons. One, she figured he would be the only one who would want her for her and not because she was a war hero. Her second was more difficult to deal with. She was going to settle for Ron because the one man she was in love with would never want to be with her. He was married and probably not interested.
She figured that she would finish school while dating Ron. They would become engaged for a couple of years while they got their careers off the ground. She and Ron would then marry and begin discussing children. She knew that she wanted to wait a few years before she had children. Hermione was worn out from the war and wanted to relax.
Hermione was not too happy that she was settling for Ron, but she felt that she really did not have any other options. She hated to be alone, so she was just going to take the hand she had been dealt.
Little did Hermione Granger know that Fate, along with a little Old Magic, had other plans for her and were about to intervene...
