Appertain - To belong as a part, right, possession or attribute.
Hermione had always been a special girl. So special that sometimes she felt that she didn't belong in her own world.
Which was why she'd seized her chance when she'd heard about Magic. She'd begged her parents to let her go to Hogwarts. She'd begged them to buy her as many books about her new world as they could.
They'd been reluctant at first, but Professor McGonagall had convinced them. She'd smiled at Hermione's thirst for knowledge and convinced them.
Hermione never told anyone how wonderful that smile had been. But it had been wonderful. It had made her feel as though she belonged.
