Hunted: Resurgence

In here there is no Voldemort and those events. In here he totally broke and was officially finished on the day he set off to get rid of Harry.

After five years Hermione suddenly reappears after going missing. But she isn't saying where she was or what happened to her. Everyone is wondering the same thing what happened to her in those five years she was gone. Now she isn't the same person anymore, she's changed, big time. No one is able to get through to her. But maybe a certain Slytherin can.

Chapter 1 Disappearing Act, Reappearing Act

Hermione Granger was outside of Hogwarts castle with her two best friends Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. She has a book out at the current moment. People say that she's a bookworm and that all she ever does is study or do homework. That people say that she doesn't know how to have fun. She tells them that she does know how to have fun but they just retort back and mutter "yeah right".

Their seventh year started earlier that month and it wasn't long until they got homework. She went into it right away while off on the side her two friends Harry and Ron were slacking off as usual. They always seem to put things to the last minute. She doesn't like how they procrastinate all the time and she has to save them. But she does not want to do that this year.

She took a look off her book for a moment to see a certain Slytherin off on the side Draco Malfoy with some of his friends from his house. He was with Crabbe, Goyle, Nott and Zabini. Malfoy seemed to entertaining his friends somehow as they were chortling and laughing at whatever he was saying. He just seems to be a rich, pampered boy who wouldn't give the time of day to mortal borns or as he refers to mudbloods.

People were outside all around enjoying the last beautiful nights of September before it turns into cold and creepy October. The current day has the sun out shining its rays on the grounds with very little wind. It was in no other words a gorgeous day to be outside to be doing whatever you wanted.

But with Hermione's case it meant having one of her books out reading it and doing homework. She was trying to do something productive of her time being outside and to get work done. At the current moment Harry and Ron were playing exploding snap. They had already gone through two games, Harry winning one and Ron winning one. But at the end of the second game both of them got up.

"We're going in Hermione." said Harry to her

"Okay." said Hermione not paying attention to them

Both of them shrugged and then left her going inside the castle. Ron was holding onto the set of exploding snap in his hands. They took a glance at their best friend on the grounds on the school then looked back at the school knowing not to bother her.

Hermione stayed where she was as she looked inside her book reading it by line and taking everything. As time wore on more people left the lake going inside the castle as curfew was looming closer. But Hermione didn't pay any attention as she was so engrossed in her book.

A figure came out of nowhere in the distance as it looked right at her by the lake with her head in the book and her homework to the side. She was so deep that she didn't notice the figure at all as it loomed closer to her. But she then noticed a shadow above and behind her. She knew it was there because of the moonlight.

She turned around thinking it would be one of her friends Harry Potter or Ron Weasley. But it wasn't either of them. She wanted to scream as she saw who it was. She could believe what she saw but a hand went in covering her mouth before she could release her scream. It grabbed hold of her as she started struggling trying to get away from them. But they were to powerful, overtaking her. She kept wiggling trying to break free as she noticed a portal appear out of nowhere.

It got a firmer grip on her as she was still struggling. It walked through the portal with her leaving the school bringing Hermione with them.

5 Years Later

Five years went by and there was no word from Hermione Granger that it became a well known disappearance of a girl going missing. A lot of people just thought she got tired and ran away. But there were people who didn't believe it mostly being Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. They explained it wasn't like her to just leave.

They looked for her everywhere once she never went to classes the next day. It wasn't like her to skip a class so they went looking for her. They started at the lake where they found her books and homework on the ground but no sign of her. There was no trace of what happened to her.

As the years went on they tried getting the case back hoping to find something new. But every time it proved that still couldn't find anything new on how to find her.

The Ministry of Magic was filled with people everywhere of people doing their jobs. It seemed like a normal work day at the Ministry with people coming and going through the floo network or apparating/disapparating, departmental memos going everywhere and people doing their jobs.

All of a sudden a portal appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the atrium of the Ministry. Everyone turned around to look at it wondering what it was. When all of a sudden something came shooting out of it and landing on the ground in front of everyone.

That something ended up being Hermione Granger as she was lying on the ground as she put her left hand to her right shoulder. She looked different now then what she did five years ago. While during her younger years she had lots of hair, while it bushy. She still has a lot of hair but it wasn't bushy anymore but in massive waves with curls bordering her face. But the most interesting part was the outfit she was wearing. She was wearing black leggings with leather boots; a short shirt that revealed her stomach, and then there was tied bands one on her left wrist and the other around her right elbow.

She was lying there on the ground of the atrium as everyone was looking at her. She finally got out from where she was from. It took her a long time but she finally got out. She's been trying to escape for a long time but with no such luck until now. She sighed as there was shuffling all around as Ministry employee's came in and grabbed her. They started taking her away wondering where she was going.

She looked at everyone that was there that was looking at her. They probably recognized her but barely. She looks different from when she was a teenager and young adult. She's also changed in personality and as a person in general in that time when she was gone.

As the employee's were doing a walk of shame with Hermione Granger one person moved unaware of the new person that arrived. They looked up to show gray eyes and really blond hair.

"Granger." drawled the voice of Malfoy as he looked at her face but then got a better picture of her appearance by seeing what she was wearing and his eyes bulged "Granger."

He stood there looking at her as the employee's escorted her away as Draco Malfoy looked at her. She could tell that he seemed impressed not just by her outfit but her full transformation. She gave him a look as they took her away bringing her down to the courtrooms.

Hours later after no success in the courtrooms from the Wizengamot on trying to get her whereabouts for the last five years they gave up. She talked to them but she never said where she was, what happened to her and what she was doing in those years. They were at it for about five hours until they gave up knowing that she wasn't going to break. They let her go but they told Auror's to bring her to St. Mungo's hospital.

While she was in a hospital room sitting on a bed still wearing the same outfit as she refused to put on a hospital gown two people appeared in the hospital. It was Harry Potter and Ron Weasley as they got the news that Hermione there after she came through some sort of portal. No one knew how to exclaim the portal. They set Auror's on it to examine the area she came through.

"Excuse me." said Harry as he stopped a healer "We were told Hermione Granger was here can you tell us where she is?"

"Yeah but I must inform you that the Hermione Granger you once knew is now gone. She's a completely different person now. She's been gone a long time and we don't know the kind of trauma she went through consequently you are going to have to be careful." Said the healer to them whose name is Stenwick as they were walking side by side and got to a room "She's right in here."

They thanked her and went inside to where they saw her sitting down on the bed with her legs crossed. They also saw the outfit she was wearing making their jaws drop.

"Hermione." said Harry and Ron to her shocked as she turned around

"Harry, Ron." said Hermione as she slid of the bed walking over to them and the hugged them right there

"What happened to you Hermione?" wondered Harry

"I – I rather not say." said Hermione

"Come on Hermione you can tell us." urged Ron to her but she stood stock still not saying anything

"No I'm not saying anything." responded Hermione to them

"Okay then how are you?" wondered Harry

"I'm good. I feel great. I just need to train." told Hermione

"Train?" questioned Ron right there curious

"Yeah train. I've been fighting." Exclaimed Hermione right there as Harry and Ron exchanged glances. This definitely wasn't the Hermione they once knew

"Well other than that everyone's going to be excited that your back Hermione." said Ron

"I can't stay Ronald." Hermione retorted back
"What do you mean you can stay?" replied Harry

"I just can't stay here." said Hermione

"Your friends and family have been all worried. You have to stay. Come on we'll bring you to the Burrow." said Ron as he grabbed her hand

They walked out as Harry and Ron took her and was bringing her to the Burrow so she can see everyone again. While they were excited about Hermione wasn't as much.
