Reincarnated
Chapter 1
Hermione arrived at Grimmauld Place, where Harry had been staying ever since breaking up with Ginny. He was the one person she felt other than Neville and her parents who seemed to really see her for who she is. She let herself in with the key Harry had given her and went straight to the kitchen for she knew that it doubled as an office and Harry spent most of his time there. True enough, her best friend was reading the Evening Prophet at the kitchen table with a bowl of onion soup next to him. "Harry?"
He lifted his head and stared at her for a moment before running over and hugging her.
"Hermione why are you crying?"
Hermione touched her cheek and sure enough, wet tear tracks ran down both her cheeks. She opened her mouth to reply, but could not even make a sound before she felt something flood through her body. It was just like the first time she felt her magic, only a hundred times more powerful. She gasped and it looked as if the same thing was happening to Harry. The feeling was gone as fast as it came and left both her and Harry breathless. "What was that?!"
"I don't know. I've read about sudden 'bursts' of magic, but they were never described like that."
After staring at each other for a few seconds, Harry asked his friend of 12 years, "So what happened to you?"
Hermione felt a ball of hurt swell inside her and from her mouth came tumbling the events of Ron's betrayal. Harry simply held her in his arms as Hermione felt a new wave of tears overcome her. They stayed in that position for a few minutes before another light, similar to the previous one, surrounded them again.
When the light finally receded, Harry and Hermione found themselves on some kind of marble floor with what look like clouds covering it like a three-inch-high fog blanket. The next thing they noticed was that someone was also in the same position as them. Someone who by all means should have died nine years ago.
Cedric Diggory stared back at them with the same astonished look in his eyes in his seventeen-year-old body. One that looked the same age as Harry and Hermione themselves'.
