HARRY POTTER STORY: Lions in snake den

Prolouge Part 3 (Hermione POV)

We start off in a similar position as Harry, Hermione just got of the Hogwarts express and as she did so she quickly heard "Hermione dear
we are over here" the person who said this was Hermione's mother Elizabeth she is a woman who seems to be a loving person but that is just in the outside herself along with her husband David give Hermione extreme stress and anxiety whenever she comes home.

Hermione spotted her mother and father as soon as Elizabeth spoke right next to them was a boy and a girl both where older then Hermione that was because of them being Hermione's older brother and sister, Hermione never talked to either Harry or Ron about her having a elder brother and sister the reason was that they would always bully her not in the way that George and Fred 'bully Ron' but rather belittle her to the best of their abilities this is due to them hating something that Hermione has and something they don't...

MAGIC

Yes both Jessica and Jake where non magical folks as soon as they heard that Hermione had special abilities they too wanted what Hermione had but as soon as they realised that they could never obtain 'Magic' they started to belittle Hermione calling her a freak someone who has tainted the Granger family etc, not only that but Elizabeth and David did nothing about it as they too thought that this magic thing was a complete joke and a waste of time as a result they would give Hermione classes for 'regular' people so that she would hopefully get a job in the muggle world.

"So how was school then you W~i~T~c~H" Jessica asked Hermione, "It was fine thank you". As time went by Hermione and her family got back home Jessica went straight to her room and so did Jake as for Elizabeth and David they sat down in the living room and proceeded to have Hermione join them.

"Okay Hermione as you know we usually get you 5 different subject tutors for you to study with over the summer to enable you to get a proper job in a normal world." Jake said in a stern voice and as Hermione just silently nodded "However that is going to change as of this summer as well as the following you will be receiving 8 different subject tutors." This was then said by Elizabeth in an exited voice as for Hermione she was just sitting there shocked at what her parents were doing something she doesn't mind doing the 5 different subjects but 8 that will surely just stress herself out. David then said that the subjects that she will have would consist of. 'English, Mathematics, Science, Music, Spanish, French, Politics and lastly Business Studies'. Hearing this Hermione was just in a trance think what could be worse? Was there any way of escaping this? How will I sleep? What are the punishments going to consist of if I don't get A+ in every by the end of the summer.

2 hours later

After both Elizabeth and David listed the amount of work Hermione will have to complete over the summer they ordered her to make dinner for the whole family to improve on her 'Cooking Skills'. Whilst cooking she was also thinking about how could she escape from this hell hole but nothing ever came to mind.

Tomorrow was a Sunday and Elizabeth was out with her friends as was Jessica, David was with Jake for a father and son weekend day out doing whatever they wanted. As for Hermione she won't have any lectures so she would be safe as for what she was going to do she thought about simply writing some letters to both Harry and Ron just to pass the time and see how her friends are doing but that is all she could come up with.

All of a sudden there was a slight noise where the letter plate is, Hermione when to see what it was and what she found was a letter directed to her for her to go to the wizards bank Gringotts. What the letter had to say was what shocked her the most the letter itself read as followed.

Mistress Hermione Jean Granger

We here at Gringotts Bank want you to know that tomorrow we expect both you an Mr Potter to be here as you both will be taking your inheritance tests we usually go though the guardians of the person who is doing the inheritance but as your guardian is Albus Wulfric Percival Brian Dumbledore someone who we here at Grittgrots do not particular like we are directly going to you.

If you are having any trouble in wanting to arrive then keep this letter and a goblin will travel to your exact location to bring you to Grittgrots.

Hermione read and re-read the letter to make sure nothing was missed she was so very confused as only wizarding families would ever take an inheritance test so why is she. Her mind she was racing at an extreme pace thinking of all the reasons all of a sudden the door knob started to twist indicating that one of her family members have arrived home thankfully it was just her mother. Hermione went up stairs and thought 'if I want to go to Gringotts I will have to wake up tomorrow at an extremely early time so I can get there without having to worry about my tutor.

And so that is what Hermione done she planned out what she was going to do but first she needed to make dinner for her family. Once that was complete she went straight to bed and set a alarm for 4:00 in the morning when no one would hopefully be awake all apart from her.
