What if the Harry Potter series didn’t make it past the Hogwarts Express? Picture this: a young Hermione Granger, brimming with confidence and a hunger to prove her magical skills, steps into the train compartment where Harry and Ron are sitting. She spots Harry’s broken glasses, a prime opportunity to show off her spellwork.

“I’ve only tried a few simple spells myself,” she announces with an air of authority, “and they’ve all worked for me. For example…”

But instead of reaching for the ever-so-handy Reparo, Hermione decides to go full dark wizard. In a moment of misplaced ambition—or perhaps sheer chaos—she clears her throat and casts the most forbidden spell of all: Avada Kedavra.

Harry doesn’t even get a chance to process the betrayal. One flash of green light later, the Boy Who Lived becomes the Boy Who Didn’t. Voldemort? He’s sitting somewhere fuming, wondering why he didn’t think of enlisting Hermione earlier.

The Hogwarts Express jolts to a halt as the Sorting Hat preemptively declares Hermione a Slytherin from 200 miles away. Meanwhile, Ron, still clutching his half-eaten sandwich, wonders if he should skip Hogwarts altogether and just stay on the train.

And just like that, the Harry Potter series ends before it even begins. No Horcruxes, no epic battles, and no Voldemort versus Harry showdown—just Hermione, casually rewriting the history of the Wizarding World.

Dark? Yes. Hilarious? Absolutely. The best part? The credits roll immediately, displaying: “Directed by onlymemez.com.”

It’s the perfect meme to remind us that Hermione could have ended the story in record time if she’d wanted to. Forget saving the day; she could have rewritten it entirely.
