AN: So a few words ahead. First of all I am not native English speaking, and while I used to depend on my English most of my every-day-life for a few years I didn't have the need to during the past two years and let it become rusty. So I already will excuse for all the mistakes I will make, without any doubt. Just msg me, tell me and I will fix it. Then secondly usually I only write stories in german and also only for my private D&D group, that is my first experience outside of this box. Why do I decide for English anyway? I know how frustrating it is when I find a fanfic I want to read but it turns out to be in a language I don't understand. Since I want to save others from this fate, I think English is a better choice. It may hurts the quality of my writing, but I think the story gets carried over to more interested people. Last thing I have to say. I hate cross-overs. I really do. I never read them because it gets too crazy for my taste, nonetheless…..I am going to write a crossover here. This idea just got stuck for so long in my head that I have to blur it out to the world. So whoever enjoys reading this, please let me know. Who doesn't like the idea…..well you know where the "back"-Button is, right?
A few informations that should help diving into the story: Sets place in 2nd year so Hermione is 12 years old. It's a Twilight (and I am talking about the books, I have nothing good to say about the movies) and Harry Potter crossover as you might noticed. I am aware that the timelines of both stories don't fit together so let's say it's a AU and just work a little with me guys!
Chapter 1: Time for a change!
It has been several months, since Hermiones Parents died in a Car Crash. They weren't driving. They just stood at the sidewalk of the road, when a man lost control of his car, hit another vehicle and then crashed into the people standing there, they had no time or room to escape. The driver wasn't drunk or playing with his mobile phone. There was no reason to blame him other than being human and losing control. It really was nothing more than an accident. Oh of course she was angry at the man who took away her loving home and family but there was nothing to steer revenge feelings or turn her personality 180° around. No. All that happened was her mourning her loss, keeping to herself for a good while, sorting her life newly and learning to keep going with the newly formed hole in her heart.
And this was the annoying part, that it was so very normal how she dealt with the situation. It seemed like all of her friend and/or acquaintances expected her to deliver a show of drama, a emotional fallout or a completely new Hermione. She thought after a few months it would quiet down, they would stop to tell her again and again how sorry they are for her loss and expect her to burst emotionally. But it kept going. This way she had no chance to get a normal daily routine again in her life.
One of the positive side effects of being a part of the wizarding world, was that paperwork wasn't as much of a big deal. Hogwarts took care of the resulting problems of her being an orphan now. But Prof. McGonagall and Headmaster Dumbledore made quite clear that this can't be a permanent solution. Instead of a human foster family or an orphanage, she stayed at Hogwarts ever since. Whoever of the staff was available, served as her guardian at any times and everyone turned out to be patient and understanding when dealing with her outside of class. She even learned a new side of Prof. Snape.
But this was another Problem that kept her from being able to feel "normal" again. They just didn't treat her normal anymore. While she loved all the help and their attempts to give her a new feeling of family, this wasn't what she needed or wanted right now.
So it was time to change her situation and move on, she was determined. A long weekend was ahead and most students visit their families. Ron and Harry stayed at School, but since things happened it was hard for Hermione to stay as close to them as she used to be. They tried, they really did, but she just couldn't stand the way they treated her like a cracked egg. So when they boys wanted to play a game of Chess she excused herself to the library for some private research. A plan formed in her head and she wanted to reassure it's possibility before she spoke to the headmaster about it.
