HERMIONE GRANGER
And The Philosopher's Stone
CHAPTER 1: The day they found out...
The Grangers loved their beautiful and smart girl, Hermione. They knew she'd do well in the future.
Mr and Mrs Granger were both dentists. Being out at the same place all day, they didn't have much time in the day time to talk to their lovely daughter. Hermione didn't mind too much. When she was at home she would read up on things for school. Sometimes she'd do it in the park for fresh air. Hermione had bushy brown hair and big front teeth. Her voice sounded bossy. Hermione was a bit sad though. Her parents could only really talk to her on Sundays and she had no friends. She had a pet hamster but it died when she was seven. Hermione was eleven years old and was going to a new school. She knew she'd be the best there.
As Hermione was studying under the tree in the park one day, a letter came flying to her from the sky. She looked up. There was an owl. Quite unusual since it was day.
Hermione looked at the letter and gasped. The front was labelled:
Miss H. Granger
Under the Tree in the Park
10 Delany Street
Kokorri
Surrey
The envolope was thick and heavy, yellowish parchment, and the address was written in emerald-green ink. There was no stamp.
"But how?" Hermione asked herself turning the envolope over, trembling. She saw a wax seal bearing a coat of arms; a lion, an eagle, a badger and a snake surrounding a large letter 'H'.
Hermione thought about examining it but didn't want anyone to read it. She looked up at the sky. It was going to rain anyway.
Hermione put the letter in her pocket and ran as the rain poured, covering her head with her arms. Not that it would do anything anyway.
Hermione closed the door behind her as she walked into the entrance room. It had a yellowish green wallpaper all over it and had a fern in the left corner, which was to the left of the young girl.
Hermione knew her parents wouldn't be there but didn't care too much at the moment. The curious girl was more interested in the letter.
She opened it up and read it.

"What the-?" Hermione asked herself. So many questions going through her head. '
How am I witch? Yesterday I was normal. What do they mean by owl? Who do I send it to? When is the 31st of- Crud! That's today!'
Hermione ran downstairs with her pink piggy bank in her arms. She got a hammer from her dad's tool rack nad cracked it open revealing the contents. Two hundred pounds and a gummy worm. Not bad. The young girl put it all in her purse and went to her desk. She wrote a note.
Mum, Dad,
I have left for a while. Don't ask why. I may send you a letter later.
Love,
Hermione
Hermione got a trunk from a closet. She packed some clothes and pulled the trunk out. The sky was dark and it was raining. The flowers on the front lawn that seemed pleasent earliar, looked very evil.
After an hour of walking, Hermione had no idea where she was. The place she was at was really dark. She looked at the sign. The young girl couldn't make it out. It had grafetti all over it.
Hermione was about to cross the road when she saw a light. It blinded her. She heard a sound. BANG! It made her ears tingle. It was coming from a bus. She jumped out of the way and the bus came to a hault roughly a centimetre from Hermione's trunk. Emma stood up and the buses door opened.
"'Ello!" said a man poking his head out. "The name's Stan! I'm your conductor!"
"Oh!" said Hermione. "I'm Hermione Granger! I'm starting Hogwarts! I'm a witch apparantly. Do you take pounds?"
"Pounds?" Stan asked with a weird look "In the wizarding world we use Knuts, Sickles and Galleons! What's pounds?"
"Money non-wizarding people use!" Hermione explained. "Can you exchange it?"
"'Eah at Gringotts in Diagon Alley!" Stan said. "Well where would ya like to go and do ya wan' me to help with anything?"
"Can you get my trunk off the road?" Hermione asked pointing at where the bus stopped.
"Be there in a couple of ticks!" he said. "Find a place to sit!"
Hermione walked onto the bus. There was only one passenger who was an elderly lady. There were beds everywhere. Hermione sat herself on one. She found it comfy. But she wondered if she was doing things right. Her parents would be worried.
"Where do you want to go?" asked Stan surprising Hermione. The young girl felt the trunk hit the bed.
"Uhhh..." the girl began. "Where would I buy some things for Hogwarts?"
"Leaky Cauldron it is!" Stan said. "Ern take it away!"
