Search for Hermione's Parents
It was during the lead up the the civil War in Hogwarts that the life of Hermione would become entrapped in the violence of the coming conflict. Seeing how close Hermione was to the chosen one Harry Potter Voldermorte ordered her death. Unknown to the deatheaters was that she was staying with Harry Potter and not her parents in Lorraine. When the deatheaters arrived at her home they killed her parents but were unable to find her so they left. When the night of violence finally ended Harry and Hermione attempted to find Ron but couldn't so they went alone in an attempt to find Hermione's parents who they didn't know were already dead.



The Farm
As the two travelled to the small farm of her parents they travelled through the country as to avoid being discovered and this was the first time of what would become almost every night where they would fall asleep together in an attempt to stay warm. It took them two days to reach her farm but when they did they could see the fire coming from the farm hours away. Hermione broke into a run when they saw the fire, and it was all Harry could do to keep up with her. When they arrived at the farm they saw that the house was burned down, but when there didn't appear to be any sign of bodies there was a brief hope that they survived the fire. This hope faded when they saw the bodies of her parents and their servents hanging from a tree in the back of their farm.

After discovering the hanging bodies of her parents Hermione was overcome with grief and Harry and Hermione basically just lay against a tree for hours as she cried herself into Harry's shoulder. When she finally calmed down her emotional state caused her to kiss Harry and although they both quickly pulled back that was the moment between the two that their mindset changed. Hermione was emotionally exhausted and so she passed out, and while she was passed out, Harry got her parents, and servents bodies down from the tree and used his Magi to dig their graves and clean them up.



The Goodbye
When Hermione woke she discovered Harry standing by the edge of the graves and she silently thanked him by kissing him. The two stood silently infront of the graves of her parents before they once again began kissing. This time it became more heated and it only stopped when Harry pulled back and stopped them.

"Whatever I feel for you doesn't matter because I know that my best friend loves you too and I love him too much to make him feel the pain that I feel without you."

-Harry Potter

Following this Harry showed Hermione the piece of clothing he had found, and she used her Magi to discover its owner was a Deatheater named Gragorix Lux. With this knowledge the two packed themselves and headed towards the location of Gragorix Lux who was - according to their Magi tracking - in the town of Haris west of her parents farm. It wasn't even a days walk so they arrived at Haris later that day and when they did Harry barged into the tavern and taunted the Deatheater by challenging his power.



Duel with Gragorix Lux
Gragorix Lux wasn't a weak Magi and he believed that if he was able to kill Harry Potter or at the least capture him he would gain unimagenable power with Lord Voldermorte. He came out of his room and unleashed a barrage of spells at Harry which he deflected but caused him to fly out the wall of the tavern. With Harry momentarily out of commision Hermione overcome with rage at the man who was involved in the killing of her parents attacked Gragorix. Hermione was no match for Gragorix and was struck with a table launched at her by Gragorix. Just as Gragorix was about to kill her Harry came to and returned inside where he suprised Gragorix by launching the killing curse at him, which instantly killed Gragorix.

Harry quickly picked up Hermione and got her out of the tavern which would soon be overrun with Deatheaters. He used a potion that he found on Gragorix's body to summon a gryphon which flew them away from the town and back towards Hogwarts.
