Fred was bored so he looked at the floor trying to find something to entertain himself. What he found was a folded piece of parchment lying in the middle of the floor. He scooped it up and for a moment thought it was just a normal piece of parchment. Then the light hit it and the letter outlines shown through he was intrigued he heard the door creak and he put the in the pocket of his robes. He was determined to read once he was settled into his dormitory with Hermione probably reading a book not far away. He loved Hermione and her quirky bookishness she was just cute and very understanding.
Hermione sure enough walked in shortly after he grabbed the note. Hermione smiled at him briefly sat down and indulged in her book. He had never seen her without a book under her arm since the day he had met her. She loved her books as much as she loved her friends and family. Fred understood her so well that he had bought her a set of bookshelves for her room to hold her growing collection of books. Her favorite author of all time was Stephenie Meyer who wrote the Twilight series. She absolutely loves Edward Cullen. The reason she loves Edward Cullen so much is because she loves his medieval personality and his caring sense of understanding. The way he treated Bella made her feel the way she wanted to be treated by a guy. She had always wanted that since the day she became interested in guys. She inherited her love of books from her adopted mother.
The first gift Mrs. Granger had ever given her was Moby Dick by Herman Melville. She also loved the idea of The White Whale. Since then books were her solace to the problems in her life. She had faced a problem with depression since her parents gave her up. This summer that problem increased though when she got that letter from her mother to tell you the truth she had finally adjusted to her parents not being a part of her life and then all the memories came flooding back. She had figured out a positive outlet for her negative emotions by writing poetry. As she wrote poetry all her emotions flooded out onto the page and seemed to leave her body all together. She had books upon books of poetry that she had written on one of her bookshelves at home. The only person that knew about her writing was her mom. The reason she didn't tell Ron or Harry is because she didn't think they would understand.
They had finally arrived back at Hogwarts and the students were very excited. The only problem is that it is raining out. The rain is coming down in sheets so fast that they can barely see a few feet in front of their faces. They ran through the rain to the carriages and the first years ran to the boats. All the Heads quickly clamored into a carriage together and Fred pulled the door shut. The carriages hastened up the road to the castle while the students were dripping wet and wishing they were inside where it is warm and dry. The carriages reached the castle gates and opened before them.
Some of the carriages went to the left and the others went to the right split by year. As Hermione's carriage went through the underground passageway that led to the castle she felt happy for the first time in a long time. She looked out one of the windows and saw the bright crystals that illuminated the walls. These crystals were only visible on the first and last day of the school year. There was a legend that said if you and your one true love looked into the light of the crystals at the same time you will tell the other you love them by spring break.
Without knowing it Fred was looking into the light at the same time she was. If only they knew the story then maybe they wouldn't have taken it so lightly.
As they arrived in the Great Hall the first years were standing in front of the professors table looking terrified of what is to come. Obviously they thought they had to do a spell by the looks on their faces. That was what Hermione had thought at first. Then she realized you just have to sit under the Sorting Hat and he will say where you will be going.
As the Sorting progressed Gryffindor gained twenty new first years. Hermione meanwhile was remembering why her family had come to England in the first place. Since their parents were Squibs they were easily able to hide in a muggle community. Although they knew if they were ever discovered they would have to flee Ireland for fear of being burned at the stake. So when Mikayla began to manifest powers they fled the countryside in the dead of night with only the clothes and what they could carry in their backpacks. So they then moved to England to assimilate into the wizarding community once again.
The reason they had left in the first was humiliation for their families at not being able to do magic. When Hermione's parents met in a pub and they discovered they were both Squibs they immediately fell in love. They decided they would flee to a country where wizards and witches were not well known so on the eve of Hermione's mother's eighteenth birthday they fled into the Irish countryside they created new aliases for themselves and their families had seen or heard from them in thirteen years. Until that fateful day where they couldn't resist it any longer and they had to move back in fear for their children's lives.
