I wasn't suppose to live. I was born to die. I was never meant to have been born at all. Somehow, unintentionally, I was kept alive by a man known as The Collector. There I was kept hidden from my father, my brothers and sisters and the rest of the galaxy. But it was also there, in that glass box and the tanks that confined me, where I found my ticket to freedom.

During her 7th year at Hogwarts, Hermione is intrigued right from the start by the new Astronomy teacher, Professor John Smith. This strange man has captured all her attention and she seems to have done the same to him. As the year goes by, talking to someone on a more intellectual level becomes something of a drug for her. Letters from Ron become less frequent and conversation with John are more often. The student-teacher wall falls to allow a great friendship to form. But Hermione’s feelings are much more than that. She is falling for the wizard with the metal wand. But an affair isn’t the only thing happening is the castle. Strange things are happening to Hermione that even her great mind cannot explain.
