A/N- I don't own any of the JK. Rowling characters used. I hope you like the story keep reviewing! This is my first fic so bare with me. You may notice that the story doesn't have all the proper details of the original book (e.g.-Hermione doing magic outside of school). Also the characters are OOC.

Chapter1- Bad news

It was the beginning of the summer and school was over for the year. Sixteen year old Hermione Granger was sitting at her desk reading, "Love in a Loveless World," when she heard a knock at the door. She looked up from her book and glanced over at the clock, which read 11:30. She stood up and walked to the door. She opened the door to find her mother standing there with a plate of cookies and a glass of milk.

"I thought you might be hungry since you hadn't eaten since this morning" said Mrs. Granger

"Thanks mum I've been so wrapped up in my book I hadn't noticed the hours pass by" Replied Hermione

Hermione's mother had short brown hair and blue eyes. She was a short woman with faire skin.

Hermione took the food from her mother's hand and placed the milk and cookies on her desk and returned to her book. She had just begun it. This book unlike many others really made her think about her love life. She had buried her nose in books year after year, while her best friend Ron and Harry were out on dates, or dances. A boy had liked her before but she never paid much attention to Viktor. He wasn't very attractive and wasn't her type. But she wasn't sure what her type was exactly.

Glancing over at the clock once more she noticed the clock read 1:00 a.m. Her eyes feeling heavy she put down her book and sprawled out on her bed. Before she knew it she was fast asleep.

She had never felt this before a warm tingly feeling inside. As he leaned in to give her one last kiss before he would drive away after there magical night together. Her heart flutter mid-kiss and when he pulled away she felt her cheeks burn red. She could see he had something to tell her... He looked deep into her eyes.

"Hermione I L-o-" BEEP BEEP BEEP!!!

Hermione opened her eyes and turned of her alarm clock it was 10:30 and she didn't want to move an inch. She wasn't sure why she had dreamed what she did, she never had dreams like those...but she found she awoke with a smile. Hermoine stood up and stretched she grabbed a towel and walked down the hall to the bathroom to have a shower.

The warm water felt refreshing and relaxing. She used a spell to quickly dry her hair and put it into a ponytail, nothing special. She pulled on a baby blue tank top and jean shorts. Hermione had long wavy brown hair that went to the middle of her back, and bright brown eyes. She followed the smell of bacon down the stairs. Her mom had the table set and food on the table. Hermione plopped down on the chair and took a sip of the orange juice in front of her. She began to munch on the pieces of bacon.

"So Hermione sweetheart how did you sleep last night?"

"Oh I fell right asleep"

They continued to eat there breakfast in silence. Hermione could feel the tension between her and her mother. Hermione finished her breakfast and was about to go for a short walk.

"Thanks for the breakfast mum, I'm going out for a walk I'll be back in an hour"- Hermione said before slipping on her shoes.

"Oh Hermione darling don't be long we need to have a talk when you come back" - Mrs. Granger explained

"Sure mum no problem"

Hermione shut the door behind her and walked down the street to a small park about a 10 min walk away. She couldn't help but wonder what her mother wanted to talk to her about. The line kept running through her head, "Oh Hermione darling don't be long we need to have a talk when you come back." She had a feeling in the pit of her stomach that it was bad. She hoped that it wasn't. After clearing her thoughts she sat under a tree. As she was staring off into space her dream reoccurred in her mind. She was trying to make out the face of her mystery man. No matter how hard she tried his face just wasn't there. After a few more minutes of soaking in the sun, she walked back to her house. When she walked in the door, she saw her mother sitting on the couch drinking tea with another woman about her mother's age. She hadn't seen this woman before. She was lovely, she had long blonde wavy hair and blue eyes and her skin was like milk.

"Oh why hello Hermione did you enjoy your walk?"

"Yes Mum"

"Come have a seat darling, this is Narcissa an old friend of mine."- Mrs. Granger direct.

Hermione went to shake Narcissa's hand

"Hello"- Hermione said politely

"Good Morning Hermione"- Narcissa replied

Hermione nervously sat on the couch with her mother. The women exchanged glances before Hermione's mother spoke.

"Hermione darling, I have some bad news."

Hermione sat perfectly still, feeling the knots in her stomach forming.

"Hermione, this summer will be different than the rest. You will not be spending it at home. This is why Narcissa is here. You will be spending the summer with her at her mansion. I'm sure you will be very happy there."- Mrs. Granger explained.

"WHAT?!?!" Hermione shrieked

"I'm sorry Hermione, work called this morning while you were in the shower, they need me to go to Australia for the next 2 months"

"Why can't I go stay with father I'm sure he'd love to spend the summer with me." Hermione exclaimed

"I'm sorry Hermione that wont work, your father is too busy this summer."

"BUT"

"No buts Hermione this is no matter to discuss, everything has been arranged" Mrs. Granger butted in

Narcissa cut in "Hermione you'll have lots of fun at my house, you wont be alone my son will be there as well"

Oh great a winy little kid to hang around with the whole summer, Hermione thought to herself

"fine" she mumbled
