Prologue

Hermione Granger was making her was down the hall. It was the last week of her 7th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She had just met with Professors Dumbledore and McGonagall. She was to become Madame Pomfery’s apprentice.

As she rounded a corner, Hermione crashed head on into someone. That someone was Professor Severus Snape, the potions master of Hogwarts.

“Oh professor. I am so sorry.” Hermione said as she helped Severus pick up his things.

“You need to pay more attention Miss Granger.” Severus said harshly as he picked up his papers.

“Well, good evening professor.” Hermione said as she grabbed her books and headed off.

“Bloody know-it-all.” Severus mumbled as he continued his way to his office.

Severus thought nothing more of his run in with Miss Granger. Not until dinner that night anyway.

“Oh Severus, good news.” Albus said happily at dinner.

“What is it?” Severus asked as he read his Evening Prophet.

“Miss Granger will be joining the staff this summer as Poppy’s apprentice.” Albus answered.

“Great. 1/3 of the Golden Trio will stay to be a thorn in my ass.” Severus sighed.

“Severus, Hermione is a talented with. She will make a wonderful addition here. What do you have against her?” Albus replied.

“She’s a know-it-all Albus. Always getting into trouble with Potter and Weasley. Personally, I would rather her leave alongside Potter and the other Gryffindors. Excuse me.” Severus answered harshly, got to his feet and left.

Had Severus paid more attention at dinner, he would have noticed that Hermione was sitting by herself at the end of the table reading. Twenty minutes later Severus sat in his study wearing a pair of muggle sweat pants and a loose shirt. He was nursing a crystal tumbler of fine Scotch. He pulled out his journal and opened it to his last entry. Right away he knew this journal was not his.

January 16, 2001

Tragedy struck my family yet again. Mom wrote today and told me Brendon is getting worse.
It had been 2 years since he had a relapse. Why did his cancer have to be inoperable? He’s only 9 years-old for Merlin Sake! The doctors say he has less than 4 months to live.
First grandma and grandpa and now my baby brother.

Severus sat there shocked.

‘How can the girl not show any emotions? Maybe I’ve misjudged her.’ Severus thought as he flipped through the journal.

February 5, 2001

They are gone. Mom, dad, Brendon. Damn Voldemort! He sent those bastards to kill my family.
Dumbledore said that Professor Snape tried to get help sent as soon as possible. I’m sure he did
To him all I am is 1/3 of the Golden Trio. The resident library of Gryffindor. A lowly pathetic Mudblood.
Luckily I’m of age. I am the last of the Grangers. My family line will end with me.

Severus flipped through the journal once more.

May 16, 2001

I wonder what those two will do without me next year? They say they are my friends, ha! Bull shit. All Harry and Ron care about is using me instead of using their own brain.
Oh well. Next year things will change. It’s time I stand on my own. Time for me to shed my skin. I hope I get that apprenticeship with Madame Pomfery.

Severus was shocked. All this time he thought he knew Hermione Granger. He now realized he didn’t know her at all. He quickly closed the book.

In the Head Girl chambers Hermione sat on her bed holding her journal. She quickly opened it to where her last entry should have been.

“What the hell?” she asked.

She stared down at the tidy scroll of Severus Snape. She stared at notes, potions ingredients, theories and calculation.

“Hmm. Seems I grabbed Snape’s journal by mistake. Oh well. I better take it back to him.” she said.

Hermione picked up the journal, her wand and headed for the dungeons. Meanwhile, Severus was reading her last entry.

June 1, 2001

It’s over. The Golden Trio is officially over. Ron and Harry told me last night I should forget about being a medi-witch and become an auror like them.
I told them I was sticking by my choice. They then started in on how I was abandoning them. That they needed me to help Harry. To help him train and research a way to defeat Voldemort..
I can’t believe them! I said I was becoming a medi-witch regardless of what they think. We haven’t spoken since, which is fine by me.

Severus couldn’t believe what he read. Without thinking he copied her journal and cast a spell to add anything new to his copy. He had just put his copy away when there was a knock on his office door.

“Enter!” he yelled.

The door opened and in walked Hermione.

“I’m sorry to disturb you sir. When we bumped into each other earlier, I believe we grabbed each other’s journals. I just came to return your.” Hermione said as she handed him his journal.

“Thank you. This is your I believe.” Severus replied.

“Well, good night sir.” she said as she took her journal and turned to leave.

“Congratulations on your apprenticeship.” he said.

“Thank you. I’m looking foreword to working with Madame Pomfery.” she replied with a smile.

“I bet. Good night Miss Granger.” he said.

“Night sir.” Hermione said as she turned and left the office.

Severus sighed and leaned back in his chair. He thought he knew her. Seven years of having her in class, watching over her, Potter and Weasley, always watching her and the others getting into trouble.

‘Merlin, I don’t even know this girl. Well, woman is more accurate. She’s much stronger than anyone knows. Perhaps she will be a good addition here after all.’ Severus thought.

That final week past quickly. Hermione was going to her flat to pack her things and would be returning that following weekend. She rode the train back but sat in the head compartment alone.

All too soon the train reached London. She gathered her things and disembarked from the train. She saw Harry and Ron waiting for her.

“Yes?” she asked.

“We just wanted to say bye. Maybe we’ll see you around.” Harry said.

“Maybe. Enjoy your summer.” she replied then walked away.

Finally she was doing what she wanted. Following her dreams and not those of others. Hermione Varia Granger had never felt as free as she did in that moment. She excitedly return to her flat and began preparing for her new life.
