Captured By Love

Part I

Hermione slammed her hand on her beeping alarm clock, silencing it abruptly. She groaned as she rubbed her eyes and started stretching, trying to wring the sleep out of herself.

"Honey, are you coming?" yelled Mrs. Granger from the Kitchen downstairs.

"Coming mum!" Hermione yelled back as she forced herself out of bed and dragged her feet across the carpet, bumping into her trunk in the process. Great, she thought. Now I'm already going to have a bruise before I even get to Hogwarts.

In the kitchen, Mr. and Mrs. Granger were talking in hushed tones, solemn looks on their faces. They were both animatedly discussing something and didn't notice as Hermione poured herself a cup of coffee, wincing as it was still way too hot. She coughed to get her parents' attention, then hated herself for it because it reminded her of how often Umbridge used to do that. Ugh, that filthy loathsome evil cockroach! No, that she kept in reserve for Malfoy.

Hermione's parents both jumped and turned around when they heard their daughter. "Oh, good, you're here," Mr. Granger said. "We received some interesting news today." Mrs. granger gave her husband a disapproving look, but didn't interrupt.

"Okay?" Hermione asked, getting more interested at the second. She definitely needed to know soon, otherwise she would combust.

"Well, we heard that Harry and Ron won't be coming to redo their final year at Hogwarts." Hermione spit out the coffee she had in her mouth and wiped her upper lip. "What?!" she shouted. "They have decided to become aurors and were offered to come this year already, since they are already of age.

"They chose work over their education?! They will be needing what we are learning this year if they want to be aurors." "That was also part of it. They will be learning all of the needed spells while they are training."

"Oh." Hermione sighed. I guess I'll just spend the year with Luna and Ginny, since we'll be the same level. That won't be so bad!" The witch encouraged herself.

"That's my girl!" Mrs. Granger said and reached over the puddle her daughter had made earlier to hug her. "There's on more thing though, we also got an owl saying you will be partnered with Draco Malfoy in all classes this year."

If you have made it to this point, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ENDURING MY STORY. I am sorry this part was so short, the next one is going to be a really long one, tell me what you think though and also give me advice on what I could improve on! Love you guys! :)
