Hey, the summary is too long for this story so i have added a author chapter for the first one in order to explain everything to you so don't worry. This mostly consist of Angest, Humour(hopefully), Romance and adventures. I really hope that you'll like this story. I have shorten the title cause it was too long.
From the Unofficial Portkey Archive: https://portkey-archive.org/story/2868/
Hey, welcome to my new story.
First, I have to apologise for my weird title, originally, I had planned for it to be focus on the fact that Hermione is a vampire slayer, hence the title ‘Hermione the Vampire Slayer’, but then my plot bunny and muse decided to add a little more into the story so it’s a mixture.
There will be a new girl added later in the chapters and I hope you will like her, hence the title ‘New gal’ and there will be the next generation of the Marauders, hence the title ‘Marauders Generation 2 strikes back’ which I hope will have some humour during the story.
I am explaining this to you so you won’t be confused and here’s the basic of each title.
Hermione is a slayer so it will be as AU but only her life will be AU, everything else is following the book and there will be violence in the book, so if you don’t like them you are welcomed to leave if you wish.
The new girl will be very different from everyone, a total troublemaker so that should add some excitement to the book, especially in my favourite chapters (snigger) can’t wait to write them up!
The Marauders you will know this straight away will be the trio and new gal and there will be a lot of mischief.
I will only be putting up one chapter each time, although I have written most of them, I want your reviews on them, this is only precaution just in case I want to change something.
I am warning you right now just in case you might get confused in the later chapters, there will be some OOC, I promise you that I will get the characters back in their own personality after I have finished the first few chapters, this will be necessary and I am sorry if any one gets confused later on.
At the beginning, next to the chapters, they will tell you where you are, for example chapter 1 will say Vampire Slayer, you will get to find out more about Hermione, then as we go along the titles will swap around so you know what is going to happen in the story. This is one of the reason why this is what the title is called.
Finally the Disclaimer: I own nothing, everyone body belongs to JK Rowlings, I don’t really know what’s Hermione’s parents name so I just made them up but they still belong to JK Rowlings so you can’t sue me at all and the Vampire slayer action all belongs to Joss Whedon, the creator of Buffy the Vampire slayer and Angel. There will be none of the characters from Buffy and Angel mentioned in this story so sorry for any inconvenience. In addition, none of the lyrics to any songs that were added in this story isn’t mine at all, I will write who sang the song and what it is called at the bottom.
The only thing I own is the new girl and the plot.
This story starts right after the fifth book but I’m not following the plot.
Hope you will enjoy this story and any feedback would be brilliant.

Prolong
As long as there have been vampires,
there has been the slayer.
One girl in all the world, to find them where they
gather and stop the spread of evil and the
swell of their numbers.
She is the slayer
A young girl of 15 walked down the street of her homeland, she had long curly brown hair and deep brown eyes; she was currently wearing dark jeans, boots, a t-shirt and her demin jacket.
She sighed as she reached the park, she walked over to the swings, sitting on them while pushing herself as she looked into the star filled sky as she thought about her best friends and her school and her destiny.
Ronald Weasley was one of her best friend, if she had to describe him, she would tell you that he was the most stubborn, sometime loyal person she had ever met, he was very protective of her and his sister, Ginny Weasley. He had a great sense of humour, a great stomach as he could go on eating for ages, he was sometimes jealous and let that jealously get in the way of what was true, like his friendship and he also had a great temper, he could blow up like a cannon any time without any warning.
Her other best friend was Harry Potter, the boy who lived. She snorted in disgust at the title, to her Harry wasn’t the boy who lived; he was the boy who was her best friend, the one who went through hell because of everyone. Everyone was convinced that he was a frame-seeking nut; even Ron believed it in their fourth year. She shook her head sadly, Harry had lost his godfather before the summer began and he had been sent straight to the Dursley’s, she mentally cursed Dumbledore for sending him there, Harry needed to be around people who loved and cared for him, not people who belittled and abuse him, making him feel like he was unworthy.
There was a rustle behind her, she didn’t even move, just continued on swinging. Soon the noise came a little closer and she jumped onto the swing, forcefully swinging backward, hitting the intruder in the chest which sent them flying backward on to the ground. She jumped off the swing backward, landing on her feet with her hands curled into fists, waiting for the fight.
The intruder stood up back up, wiping at their mouth.
“Very good little girl.” A male voice snarled.
“I’m not a little girl and just you wait and see how good I am.” She replied with a smirk, the male lunged at her which provoked her spinning into a roadhouse kick, he groaned as he shook his head, the girl ran forward and did a back flip, kicking him squarely in the chin which knocked him to his back.
The girl stood back, not wanting the fight to end, she felt her blood boiling up with so much rage to quickly finish it. The guy stood back up, he growled as he stood into the moonlight, she could see that his face had been deformed, his eyes were pure yellow while fangs bared from his mouth.
“Come on then, come and get me.” She taunted, the guy chuckled as he ran toward her once more, this time she stepped to the side, blocking the punch that was coming toward her stomach. She grabbed the hand, twisting it while stepping around so she ended up behind the guy, pinning his arm up against his back, she stepped back a little and threw a kick; sending him flying forward, he hit his head off the pole of the swings.
The vampire stood up, growling, he was no longer chuckling, he knew what he wanted and he was going to get it.
“That was a mistake little girl.” He snapped.
“Ohh, I’m so shaking in my boots.” She retorted.
“You should be.” He growled while running toward her that she dropped down to her knees; swinging a foot out, she tripped him up. “You bitch!” He snarled but she just smiled as he got back and made another run at her. She got bored, all she wanted to do was get home so she plucked something from her waist, with a flick of her wrist the object went sailing into the air, neatly guillotine the vampire head right off. The body exploded into dust as the object flew back into her hand.
“I’m good!” she stated with a smile before placing the object back in its rightfully place by her hip before setting off.
The reason why? She was the Vampire Slayer.
Chapter 1: Vampire slayer
Hermione Granger woke up to sunlight hitting her face, she sighed as her eyes blinked opened.
“Hermione, Breakfast!” her mother shouted, she grinned as she stepped out of her bed and headed down the stairs with Crookshanks following her.
“Hi sweetie, have a good night sleep?” Hermione greeted him as she picked him up, Crookshanks just purred in her arms, which caused Hermione to giggle.
“Hi Honey, have a goodnight sleep?” Jane asked and Hermione nodded.
“The best, how about you mom?”
“Not so good, you know, after your father…” Jane trailed off, Hermione nodded. Her father had died first week into the holiday, he had died of a heart attack; it was so sudden that it shocked everyone.
“I know mom, I miss him too, and” Hermione stated “Just like what Dumbledore told me, the ones that loves us never truly leave us, even if they are dead.” Hermione explained, Jane smiled at her daughter, she was grateful that she hadn’t lost her daughter to the attack that had happened to her before the holidays.
“Have you heard from Harry lately?” Jane asked; Hermione just shook her head.
“No, I think that his uncle might be stopping the letters or he can’t be bothered answering right now.” Hermione murmured thoughtfully.
“Why don’t you invite him up for the summer?” Jane asked which caused Hermione looked at her mom with a shocked/excited look.
“Really? Are you sure?” she squealed and Jane laughed.
“Of course I’m sure! Like you said, I think he need to be around people who love and care about him, just like you said and I don’t think he would like to go back to his godfather’s place this year after what happened to the poor boy.” Jane explained and Hermione jumped up from her seat, hugging her mother.
“Thank you, Thank you!” she squeaked before rushing up the stairs to write a letter to Harry.
********
Harry was lying in his bed in his room, staring at the ceilings, all his opened letters laid on the desk next to his bed, he couldn’t be bothered writing back to them, not while he was still feeling all the guilt. He sighed as he turned on his side and saw the empty cage, Hedwig had gone out for a flight earlier and still hadn’t returned.
Soon his thoughts had turned to his female best friend, from the letters he had received from her he knew that she was fine but couldn’t help but feel that she was holding something back from him, like something had happened but wasn’t telling him.
*********
Hermione scribbled her note down, rolled it up and tied it carefully to Hedwig.
“Give that to Harry and peck him till he answers this letter okay girl?” Hermione asked, Hedwig nodded before taking flight, Hermione sighed as she watched the owl disappear out of sight before heading for a shower, wondering what Harry would say.
*********
Harry heard tapping noises, he looked around until his eyes rested on the windows where his owl was flying; he smiled brightly at seeing her before hurrying open the windows.
“Hey girl.” Harry greeted, she just hooted as she stuck her leg out, Harry sighed before removing it; he opened it and read the letter.
“Hey Harry,
Mom wants to know to you if you can come up here and stay the rest of the summer here. I agree with her that it would be better, so give me an answer soon and I will collect you.
Hermione xx”
Harry sighed as he placed the letter on the desk before lying back on his bed, Hedwig hooted as she settled on the bed next to him and started pecking him.
“Ouch! Hedwig!” Harry exclaimed, she took no noticed of him excepted she placed a talon on the letter then started pecking him. “I get it, I get it, she told you to peck me till I answered didn’t she?” Harry asked, Hedwig hooted while bobbing her head, Harry rolled his eyes and plucked a quill from his ink well. “Fine, fine.” Harry muttered as he wrote his answer on a piece of paper, he rolled it up and tied it to Hedwig leg. “Off you go girl, come back soon.” Harry sighed as he stroked the back of Hedwig’s feather before she flew off; he shook his head as he started packing his stuff up
*********
Hermione came out of her shower, she wrapped her towel around her before looking into the wardrobe, there was a tapping noise at her window; she spun around and smiled when she saw Hedwig.
“He replied.” She stated with a huge grin as she opened the window and removed the letter, she smirked when she saw Harry’s reply before squealing with delight as she ran down the stairs.
Jane, who was, currently, in the living room reading the papers, yanked her head up at the sound of her daughter’s squeals.
“What is it?” Jane asked as she stood up when her daughter skidded on the wooden floors, just outside the living room doors.
“Harry agreed to come up!” Hermione shrieked out before squealing once more, Jane laughed at the delighted look on her daughter’s face.
“That’s great, why don’t you go and get ready, reply back to him, tell him that we will pick him up at five so he can have dinner with us.” Jane suggested, making her daughter squeal once more before hugging her mother and rushing back up the stairs.
Jane laughed once more as she headed into the kitchen to clear up.
*********
“BOY! Get your butt down here now!” a male voice bellowed, Harry rolled his eyes before heading down the stairs.
“Yes uncle Vernon?” Harry asked as he reached the stairs.
“Clean the bloody kitchen!” Vernon snapped before turning back to his papers, Harry sighed as he headed into the kitchen, there was a tapping noise from the kitchen’s window, he turned around, stunned to see Hedwig again.
“I had only sent you away!” Harry exclaimed before opening the windows, Hedwig hooted as she settled herself on the kitchen’s chair and stuck her leg out. “Thanks girl.” Harry praised as he took the letter, he unrolled it and beamed as he read the time that they were arriving at his house to collect him. “Yes!” He whispered, pumping a fist before heading back into the living room. “Uncle Vernon?” Harry asked.
“What?” Vernon grunted.
“My friend is coming to pick me up at five today.” Harry stated as Vernon took a sip of his tea only to spat it back out in shock.
“What?!” Vernon demanded, “If you think I’m letting those bloody red haired…”
“No, It’s another friend, their parents are completely normal!” Harry jumped in, Vernon cooled.
“Normal? What do you mean normal?” Petunia asked.
“They are dentists.” Harry explained and they both smiled with relief.
“Fine,” Vernon reluctantly said, “Make sure you finish the kitchen before anything else!”
“Yes Uncle Vernon.” Harry stated before heading into the kitchen, making sure he hid smile.
**********
Hermione walked up toward the Dursley’s front door, she looked around first before knocking.
Dudley answered the door only to be stunned by the girl in front of him, she was wearing tight black jeans and a red halter top and boots; her normal bushy hair was straight.
“Hel…Hel…hello?” Dudley stuttered out, his brain not being able to form a single word.
“Hi, I’m here for Harry Potter.” Hermione asked, Dudley scowled but Hermione didn’t notice because her eyes had latched onto the figure behind him. “Harry!” Hermione squealed as she pushed Dudley to the side before jumping into Harry’s arms.
Harry laughed with delight at seeing his best friend once more while wrapping his arms around her body.
“I missed you.” He whispered.
“I missed you too.” Hermione sighed into his neck before pulling away. “Do you have all your stuff? Mom is outside, waiting for us.”
“Yeah I packed it all ages ago.”
“Come on then!” Hermione ordered as she grabbed his arm, pulling him out of the door to meet her mother, Harry just laughed as Hermione dragged him out of the door. “Mom!” Hermione shouted as Jane stepped out of the car “This is Harry, Harry this is my mom, Jane.” She introduced.
“Hello Harry, it’s great to finally meet you.” Jane greeted with a smile.
“Its to meet you too.” Harry greeted with a soft shy smile.
Jane noticed that they both were holding hands and smiled brightly.
“Why don’t you two get in the car so we can get home?” Jane asked, both kids nodded as Harry placed his trunk in the boot before opening the door to let Hermione in first then settled him in. Both of them settled down before Hermione reached over and clasped Harry’s hand in hers, Harry turned to face her.
“Everything will be fine.” She whispered with a small smile, for the first time, Harry allowed himself to relax and believe her words as he looked out of the window, as the car started moving toward the Granger’s house.
Hope you liked it, please review and tell me what you thought!
For disclaimer, read author notes
I have to add this in, a lot of you commented that the first chapter felt a bit choppy and slapped together, just relax it will come together and most of you commented on how Harry and Hermione were not dealing with their grief, give me time. They are in denial at the moment and for Hermione’s father dying of a heart attack, there is more to the story. He was murdered and no, not by Voldemort. All will be revealed soon.
Chapter 2: Vampire Slayer
Harry felt himself being, gently, shaken awake. It turned out that he had fallen asleep during the car ride; he turned and found himself looking into Hermione’s deep concerned eyes.
“Harry, we are here now.” Hermione, softly, stated as she slipped out of the car and pulled the trunk out of the boot while Harry stretched then slipped out himself. He reached over and picked up his trunk before following Hermione up the path to her house.
Harry entered the house and looked around,
“This house is amazing!” Harry exclaimed, the hallway was large while the living was massive; the kitchen was also massive, Hermione just giggled as she dragged the boy up the stairs to his room.
“This is your room, hope you like it.” Hermione explained, Harry stepped through the door and was dumb struck once more, there was a massive king size poster bed, there was also a desk for him to work on, a T.V, video and D.V.D player. On the left side of the room, there was a massive bookcase, half of it was filled with D.V.D and Videos while the other half was filled with books, there was also a C.D player and a C.D stand filled with Cds.
“Wow! You didn’t need to do all of this you know.” Harry said and Hermione grinned while rolling her eyes.
“Trust me, Mom wanted to do this, she always wanted a boy to spoil so, sorry, you are her surrogate son.” Hermione stated with a shrug.
“Why don’t your mom and dad have another child?” Harry asked, confused. He noticed that Hermione had turned sad and quiet; he instantly knew that something had happened so he dragged her over to the bed and sat down next to her. “What happened Mione?” Harry asked.
“My dad died first week into the holiday, he had a heart attack; I was in too much of a numb state to register that he had died.” Hermione quietly said, trying to hold back her tears, Harry wrapped his arms around her body, pulling her to him, comforting her.
“Shh, it’s okay, just let it all out.” Harry whispered comforting, Hermione felt the tears well up in her eyes at the sound of his voice, “I’m here, just let it go.” He whispered once more, Hermione felt all the anger; confusion, frustration and sadness well up and burst out as she cried into Harry’s arms of her father’s funeral.
“I miss him so much Harry, every time I try and think of him, I feel so cold and empty, it’s like I can’t get warm anymore and I hate that feeling!” Hermione gasped out between tears.
“I know, I feel that way too when I think about my parents and Sirius.” Harry explained while rocking her backward and forward, rubbing his hands up and down her back.
Soon Hermione settled down, she pulled away and wiped her tears, she noticed a wet patch on his shirt.
“I’m sorry.” She hiccupped, Harry looked at her confused. “About your shirt.” She gestured toward his shirt; Harry looked down and shook his head.
“It’s okay, it needed a wash any way.” He replied with a small smile, Hermione smiled as she leaned back into the hug.
“Thanks for being there for me.” She whispered.
“You’re my best friend, where else would I be?” Harry asked, rhetorical, Hermione just grinned into his chest, loving the way he was protective of her.
******
Later that night, Hermione walked out of the house, pulling her jacket tighter around her body before setting off toward the graveyard, her hair was in a ponytail. She couldn’t believe how quiet Harry had been all day, when before the fourth year, he was loud and happy, but now, it was as if someone had hit the mute button on him. She sighed sadly as she entered the graveyard and walked over to her dad’s graveyard.
‘Here lies Josh Granger, wonderful husband, brilliant father, may he lies in peace.’ Hermione knelt down in front of the graveyard.
“Hey dad, sorry I had been here lately, it’s been busy with all the vampires and demons, not to mention that Harry had finally come up to stay here for a visit.” Hermione greeted and sighed as her shoulders slumped. “I’m worried about him. He is so quiet, nothing like his old self. He has the whole world on his shoulders and it’s killing him, even though he won’t admit it, he needs help. He needs to accept that it wasn’t his fault about the death yet he won’t accept it, it like the only thing that keeps him going and it scares me so much,” she sniffled a sob. “I want him to see that those people died because they wanted to protect him. That they willing gave up their life because they loved him, not because of him. I can only tell him so much but it won’t penetrate his mind. I just wish that there was some sign to help me, to get him to understand that nothing is his fault, that it’s all Voldemort!” she burst out angrily then shook her head, she opened her mouth to speak again when she felt the hairs stand up on the back of her neck.
She stood up then a hand dropped down on her shoulder, with a grunt she grabbed the hand and flipped the person over her shoulders, the figure fell to the ground only to burst into dust as they hit a piece of wood that was embedded in the ground. Hermione swung around, kicking the other figure in the stomach; they went flying backward into a tree, only to explode on impact as a branch went through their body.
“All I wanted was peace to talk to my dad but I can’t have that can I?” Hermione muttered out angrily.
“Now where’s the fun in that?” a voice asked, amuse. Hermione stiffened as she stood straight, a figure stepped out from behind a tree and stepped into the light and Hermione rolled her eyes.
“I should have guessed it would have been you demons.” She greeted in distaste, the demon growled.
“I watch my mouth if I were you.” He growled.
“Good thing you ain’t me huh?” she retorted.
“Shut your mouth little girl, you have no idea what you are dealing with.”
“Oh I think I have an idea, a night demon, the one who travels by night, sucking souls out of unsuspecting humans, their horns, where their thumbs should be, are poisonous and can kill you if they wish, but the demons just use the poison to immobilise the victims instead of killing because it’s more fun and less messy too. They have incredible strength and can lift a car without breaking a sweat. No one really knows how to kill them as they could never get close enough to kill them.” Hermione recited from the book that she had memorised, the demon stood there, stunned. “But there is one thing that’s confusing me, you lot hunt in twosome, so where’s your partner?” Hermione asked with a mocking thoughtfulness before she grabbed a knife from her waist, she plunged it backward into the demon’s stomach. Apparently, he decided to sneak up on her while the other one distracted her. “And guess what?” Hermione asked with an evil glint in her eyes before she pulled the knife out of the stomach, she spun around, sliding the knife through the demon’s neck, effectively decapitation the demon. “I know how to kill you very easily!” she added with a breathless delight as the body slumped down, turning into goo.
The other demon let out a howl of rage before he ran off in the other direction, Hermione, all reared up, ran after him, not wanting to finish the fight yet. She soon stopped when she lost sight of the demon, the area was completely bare and he was no where in sight, she sighed as she closed her eyes, drawing all her energy together, she grabbed her round metal Frisbee, with a flick of her wrist, she sent it in the same direction of where the demon was. There was a dull thud and sickening sound of flesh tearing, the invisibility wore off, revealing the body turning to goo, the Frisbee flew back into her hand, letting her buckle it back into it’s proper place, she walked up to the body and smirked down at it.
“Oh I’m sorry, did I forget that I also knew that you could turn yourself invisible?” she asked with a mock innocence then shrugged her shoulders “Bit late to tell you that now.” She muttered before heading toward the park to relax on the swing for a little while.
Hermione sighed as she settled herself on the swing, she set the swing in motion as she got lost in her thoughts once more, while in the distance there was a shadow watching the young woman, they smirked lightly before blending in with the shadow.
******
Hermione woke up with a huge smile, she had dusted a couple of vampires and two demons the night before so she felt really refreshed, the other reason she felt really happy was that Harry was with her and safe. Hermione giggled as she bounded out of her room down to the kitchen, her mother was at a meeting this morning so she wasn’t going to back for another hour or so. Hermione switched the C.D Player on and pressed play, she started swinging her hips to the beat as the music started up.
You can choose the channel
When we're watching the TV
Oh babe - it's okay
And you can choose the flavour
When we're ordering ice cream
I don't mind, yeah that's fine
I do - hoo hoo -
Anything for you - hoo hoo
Harry woke up to a kind of rocking music filling the house; he grabbed his glasses and slipped them on before sliding out of bed and heading down the stairs. He stopped at the kitchen door and smiled brightly when he saw Hermione dancing about and singing along while collecting the equipment and food she needed to make breakfast.
Ah it's alright if you sleep with
Your socks on - oh babe it's okay
And you can hurt my head
With your favourite rock song

Hermione spun around as the song ended only to give a little shriek when she saw Harry standing there with a huge grin; he started applauding at the show he saw.
“That was great, do you take requests.” Harry asked with a sly grin, Hermione laughed.
“How long having you been standing there?” she asked as Harry walked in the kitchen and sat down when she pointed to the chair.
“When you said it was alright if you slept with your sock on.” Harry admitted, Hermione nodded as she picked up the plates and placed them on the mats, Harry looked down at his plate and saw that he had ham, fried eggs, sausages and hash brown with a glass of orange juice. “You can cook.” Harry asked.
“Yes, I learnt at a young age, my dad taught me.” Hermione admitted with a sad smile, Harry looked at her with concern shining through his eyes. “I’m okay, I promise.” Hermione smiled at him, easing his concerns.
“Okay, but, just so you know, you can talk to me about it if you want,” Harry offered, Hermione felt her heart melt.
“Thanks Harry.”
“So, where did you disappear to last night?” Harry asked; Hermione choked on a piece of sausage.
“Excuse me?” Hermione asked.
“I saw you leaving the house last night, I couldn’t really sleep so I was sitting at the window when I saw you leave.” Harry explained.
“I do that every night, I need to have a walk at night before going to sleep, it gives me time to think and it makes it easier for me.” Hermione explained, Harry nodded, accepting the answer as he finished off his food. “Would you like some more?” Hermione asked; Harry looked up at her.
“Sure, if it’s not too much bother.”
Hermione giggled
“It’s no bother Harry, here, give me your plate.” Hermione asked while holding out her hand, Harry handed her the plate, he watched her as she moved around the room, getting the food. He knew that she was hiding something from him, it was the same feeling as he felt in their third year, with the time tuner but pushed it off, he knew that she would tell him when she was ready and he would be there, ready to help her.
There was a tapping noise at the window, Harry looked toward it and smiled when he saw Pig.
“Ron must have written a letter.” Harry stated as he walked over to the window, he opened it, letting Pig through the window. Pig settled himself on the table, holding his leg out; Harry took the letter as Hermione gave him a treat.
Harry unfolded the letter but was confused when he saw it was Hermione. “It’s for you.” Harry explained as he handed it to her, Hermione closed her eyes before taking the letter, she opened it and quickly read it before crumpling it up, she threw it down before running up the stairs.
Curious to know what got her all worked up, Harry picked up the letter and uncrumpled it, he read it, his eyes going wide at each words, he couldn’t believe what Ron was suggesting.
‘How could you Hermione, how could you cheat on me with Harry? I hope you two are having a good time with each other behind my back! I love you and I really believed that you loved me too but you are nothing but a scarlet woman (Harry sighed and rolled his eyes) Rita was right, you are just a user, using boys for your little games. Why does
Harry gets everything, it’s because he’s famous and has all the money isn’t it? Enjoy being together as long as you can because I can guarantee that it will be the last time you till see each other!’
Harry was stunned, he and Hermione are not together, so where is all this coming from and why would Ron threaten them? Harry knew that Ron had a crush on Hermione but didn’t think that it went this deep and he practically shouted at Hermione.
Harry knew that Ron had problems because of his frame but honestly thought that Ron would get over it, given time but this letter just proved to him that Ron was still childish as usual. Harry crumpled the letter back up, he headed up the stairs to comfort Hermione; he knew that she needed it but wondered if she will accept it.
Hey Guys, thanks for all the reviews for the last chapter and I hoped you liked this one.
The song is in my car (I’ll be the driver) by Shania Twain (Up) I really loved this song and I wanted Hermione to be happy.
Did warn you at the beginning there are some OOC, sorry if the violence at the top unsettled anyone but it’s part of the story and will be a regular thing.

Chapter 3: Vampire slayer
Harry found himself standing in front of Hermione’s bedroom door; he knocked on it gently, calling her name. He could hear her crying into her pillow.
“Hermione, can you please let me in?” Harry pleaded gently, there was a sound of unlocking, Harry grabbed the handle and opened the door, he felt his heart breaking into millions pieces when he saw her red eyes. “Oh Mione.” Harry whispered as he held out his arms, Hermione ran into them like they did in second year, but this was a totally different situation, that time they were threatened by Voldemort, this time they are being threatened by their best friend.
Harry moved toward the bed, he sat on it, pulling Hermione onto his lap so he could continue to comfort her.
“You read the letter.” Hermione stated, it was not a question and he knew.
“Yeah I did, I just can’t believe Ron.” Harry muttered.
“I knew that he had a crush on me but I honestly thought it would go away!” she exclaimed “Then he went on about me going out with you because of your money and frame…” she added before bursting into tears, Harry kissed her forehead.
“I know, I can’t believe that he would think that you are that kinda girl, I know you and I know that you are not like that, I really though Ron did too.” Harry explained.
“He’s acting like you stole me away from him, like I’m some sort of prize that has to be won!” Hermione exclaimed furiously, Harry rubbed her back.
“Shh,” Harry soothed “It won’t do you any good if you get worked up.” Harry explained and Hermione rested her head on his shoulder as his hand stroked her hair.
Soon Harry felt her breathing even out, he looked down and noticed that she was sleeping. He, gently, shifted her in his arms so he could lay her on the bed; he pulled the covers over her and kissed her forehead before turning around. Crookshanks was standing at the door.
“Look after her buddy.” Harry whispered Crookshanks gave a small purr as he rubbed his head against Harry’s leg before jumping onto the bed and curling up beside Hermione.
Harry smiled as he closed the room and headed back down the stairs to clean up the kitchen.
He walked into the kitchen when the last music stopped and a new one started. He didn’t bother to turn the player off as he started cleaning up.
Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
Harry stopped and listened to the song, it was so familiar for some reason that he couldn’t put his finger on it; he listened to the song once more.
Look into my heart - you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all I would sacrifice
Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
There's no love - like your love
And no other - could give more love
There's nowhere - unless you're there
All the time - all the way
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you - Ya I'd die for you
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you
Harry just shrugged his shoulders as the song stopped he turned back to cleaning up, ignoring the other songs that came on.

Jane sighed as she sat back in the chair of her car, she was glad that she was going home, the meeting was brutal because she spent most of it arguing with her boss, who wanted to cut down on some equipments. She felt like that it was the worst day she’s ever had. She flipped on the music and sighed when one of her favourite came on.
I’m gonna hold on –
Cause what I believe in is so strong
No matter how long, no one
Can tell me I’m wrong – I ain’t going down
She started singing along with the song while her head moved to the beat.
I had a baby at fifteen –
Daddy never did forgive me
I never heard from the guy again
I had to drop outta high school
Everybody treated me so cruel
But I didn’t give in and give her away
I’m gonna hold on –
Cause what I believe in is so strong
No matter how long, no one
Can tell me I’m wrong – I ain’t going down
Her smile got me through the day –
And every night I’d pray
I could give her enough
At night I’d lie awake and cry –
Hoping we’d get by
Cause you can’t live on love
I worked night and day to keep us going
Through the sweat and tears
Without her knowing
It was worth it just to watch her grow
Oh, Oh, at least I was able to hold her
Whenever she needed my shoulder
I’m so glad I never let her go
I’m gonna hold on –
Cause what I believe in is so strong
No matter how long, no one
Can tell me I’m wrong – I ain’t going down
Her smile got me through the years –
Dried away all the tears
And filled me with hope
At night I’d lie awake and cry
Prayed we would get by
And for the courage to cope
Oh, Oh, Oh
Her smile got me through the day –
And every night I’d pray
I could give her enough
I’m gonna hold on –
Cause what I believe in is so strong
No matter how long, no one
Can tell me I’m wrong – I ain’t going down
I’m gonna hold on –
Cause what I believe in is so strong
No matter how long, no one
Can tell me I’m wrong – I ain’t going down
No one can tell me I’m wrong
I ain’t going down. Jane smiled when the song finished, she felt so much better, that song could always cheer her up whenever she was feeling low, she just hoped that she would be able to give Hermione enough, especially with Josh being dead.

Jane entered the house; she smiled when she saw Harry cleaning up the kitchen but frowned when she couldn’t see Hermione.
“Harry,” Harry jumped and spun around, his eyes wide with fear that Jane laughed “Oh! I’m so sorry Harry, I didn’t expect to give you a fright.” Jane apologized through her laugher.
Harry sighed with relief that it was Jane.
“It’s okay Mrs. Granger.” Harry dismissed.
“Harry, call me Jane, please.” She stated; Harry nodded “Where’s Hermione?”
“She’s sleeping, she got a letter earlier and it kinda upset her, she was crying but she’s okay now.” Harry explained as he placed a glass in the cupboard.
“Why was she crying?” Jane asked, concerned. Harry turned around, he hesitated first, not wanting to cause in trouble. “It’s okay Harry, I won’t say anything till she comes to me first.” Jane soothed and Harry nodded.
“You know Ron Weasley.” Harry asked and Jane nodded “Well, he sent a letter to Mione this morning, he gave her into trouble for inviting me over this summer and accused her of cheating on him.” Harry muttered with a roll of his eyes.
“I take it there’s more?”
“Yeah, you see, Ron says he’s in love with her, we both knew that he had a crush on her but didn’t know that it ran this deep, Mione was dredging the day he brought it up because she doesn’t feel the same.” Harry explained.
“You really care for her don’t you?” Jane asked and Harry looked up at her.
“Yes I do, I really care for her, she’s my best friend, I don’t know where I would be if it wasn’t for her. I’m just eternally grateful that she came into my life and became my best friend.” Harry stated honestly, Jane smiled at him.
Unknown to the pair of them, Hermione was sitting at the bottom of the stairs, listening. Her eyes filled with wonder and tears of happiness, she was glad that Harry came into her life.
“So Harry, why don’t you tell me about some of your adventures at school, Hermione rarely talks about them except when you and Ron are in trouble or going to cause trouble.” Jane explained and Harry chuckled lightly as he made his way over to the kettle.
“Would you like some tea or coffee before we start, it can take a long time.” Harry offered and Jane laughed slightly as she nodded.
“Sure, coffee would be great, two sugar and a drop of milk.”
“I’ll have hot chocolate and I’m sure you know how I take it.” Hermione teased as she entered the kitchen, Harry laughed.
“Sure thing, coming right up.” Harry stated as he got the drinks ready and settled down.
“Well, we both first met on the train when we were heading to Hogwart for the first time, she came bursting in looking for a toad that one of our friend lost.” Harry started.
“I didn’t even tell them my name, after I found out about Harry’s, I just rattled off about all the books I had read about him in.” Hermione added and Harry laughed.
“Then you fixed my glasses!” Harry added and they both smiled at the memory.
“We didn’t get to be friends till Halloween, overheard Ron say something which caused me to cry and basically lock myself in the bathroom.”
“Once we found out there was a troll, I dragged Ron so that we could find her, I distracted the troll while Ron casted a spell to render the troll unconscious.”
“Second year, Harry and Ron flew a car to school.” Hermione stated while Jane looked at them in a stunned shock.
“You flew a car.” Jane asked.
“Yes, you see, Mr. Weasley has enchanted a car to fly, the barrier to get to the school was blocked so we took the car to get to school only to get stuck in a tree which likes to hit back.” Harry explained, Hermione laughed.
“Hedwig wouldn’t go near you for a week after that happened!” Hermione injected.
“That wasn’t funny, she pecked me every time I went to stroke her!” Harry complained
“It served you right, you scared the poor bird!” Hermione explained and Harry rolled his eyes.
“Girls! You stick together!” Harry teased which provoked Hermione to lightly punch him on the shoulder. “Argh!” Harry cried out, holding his arm in mock pain, which caused Hermione to crack up with laugher.
Jane watched the scene with amusement and happiness that her daughter was happy.
“So when do you the two of you want to Diagon Alley to get your stuff?” Jane intruppted the playful banter that was processing between the two best friends.
“Tomorrow? We should get the owls soon, Dumbledore decided to gives ours earlier so we wouldn’t be walking about in the town for so long.” Hermione explained and Harry nodded in agreement.
“Do you two ever fight?” Jane asked, both of them looked at each other and shrugged.
“We have arguments, the longest time we’ve not spoken to each other out of anger was in third year, that only lasted like two days or something.” Hermione thought about it and Harry nodded.
“It’s mostly you and Ron that fight the most.” Harry explained.
“Now you mentioned it, have you ever noticed that whenever Ron and I fight, we don’t really make up? We never compromise on any thing, while you and I, we always listen to the other, even when we’re arguing.” Hermione asked and Harry nodded.
“Yeah you’re right.”
“Why are you and Ron friends anyway?” Jane asked; Hermione, for the first time since Harry known her, was stunned for words.
“I don’t know, I guess our mutual friendship is because of Harry.” Hermione guessed.
“Me? Why me?” Harry asked.
“Think about it, if it wasn’t for you, I honestly doubt that Ron and I would have been friends.” Hermione explained and Harry nodded, after thinking about it.
“I guess you’re right.”
“Aren’t I always?” Hermione asked and Harry laughed.
“Oh yeah.” Harry teased back before rushing out of the room so that Hermione couldn’t punch him for that remark.
“HARRY JAMES POTTER! GET BACK HERE NOW!” Hermione screeched as she chased him, leaving a laughing Jane in the kitchen.
I think that’s a good place to leave it off. Next Chapter, we head to Diagon Alley, so stay tuned.
Reviews would be brilliant thanks!

Hey, I’m really sorry that these are not updates. I wanted to let you know that I’m suffering from major mind blocks on all of my stories and that I won’t be updating for a while. From now on until I get rid of, my mind block and write up new chapters. These stories will be on hold at the moment. I promise you that I’m NOT abandoning my stories. I’m in college, I have exams, and I’m writing a story for a different fan fiction. I apologise once more for all the waiting you have been doing and I promise that I will come back. I just need a bit a time to get my head around everything.
Sorry once more.
Spacegal.
