Summary
Hermes Perenelle Black always knew she was different (or as Grand-mère insist: ‘extraordinaire’).
Even for a witch.
Even for a witch of the ‘Noble and Most Ancient House of Black’. Or of the ‘Auguste Famille Bienbon’, as Grand-mère reminds Uncle Hydrus every time he mentions the Black family.
It’s more than the strange scar she has on her chest. Or the bizarre (usually scary) dreams she’s had for as long as she can remember. Or that she can talk to snakes or see those winged, reptilian-faced horses; all which Uncle Hydrus doesn’t want her to talk about to anyone, amongst the long list of other things not to talk about.
There is also the fact that she was born on the eve of Samhain. That she is an orphan. That her mother was French, which apparently is sometimes as bad as being a muggleborn according to Uncle Hydrus (making sure Grand-mère is not around to hear). And that she is possibly the first Black ever to not go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
It’s all of this, but mainly what happens on her eleventh birthday... and this Boy-Who-Lived who everyone is talking about when she (finally) wakes up the next day.
