PART I - Revelation

Know-it-all, buck-toothed, unwelcome around my peers since year one of Muggle education-nothing compared to being the Mudblood Slytherin girl. Too evil for another house, too dirty for the one I called home.

When Hermione becomes the first Muggle-born housed in Slytherin, she has no idea the misery that's in store for her. Growing darker as the years go, she learns to overpower her tormentors and become something to fear.

Ecdysis: the process of shedding old skin.
