Chapter One - The Message
Hermione Granger sat on her bed reading Hogwarts - A History for what must of been the hundredth time. School had finished the previous week and she was having trouble finding things to do. All of a sudden she felt her cellphone vibrate in her pocket, she yanked it out eagerly hoping it was one of her muggle friends wanting to do something.
Unknown Number - 'Hey Love, what you up to?'
Normally Hermione would never reply to random messages but she was curious and had nothing better to do.
Hermione - 'Who is this?'
She texted cautiously and went back to her reading, only she couldn't concentrate and read the same line over and over. She felt her phone go off and she held her breath as she opened the text.
Unknown Number - 'My friends call me Prince and who are you?'
He didn't even know who he was texting! Hermione couldn't believe it! She knew she shouldn't text back and even as she did the old saying 'Curiosity killed the cat' ran through her mind.
Hermione - 'I'm just guessing here but 'Prince' isn't your real name is it?
She grew impatient waiting for 'Prince' to reply and hoped he would start to reply as quickly as possible.
Prince - 'No its not, but you're avoiding my question, who are you?'
Hermione clicked her tongue as she thought, he hadn't told her his real name so there was no need for her to tell him her own. Thinking carefully she considered all the nicknames her two best friends, Harry and Ron, had for her and selected the one she loved the most.
Hermione - 'Mya.'
She knew if it was someone from Hogwarts they wouldn't know who it was either so there was no way of this 'Prince' fellow finding out who she was without her telling him.
Prince - 'Mya. Cute.'
Hermione was infuriated, cute? CUTE? What was that supposed to mean? She needed to know wether this 'Prince' guy was a magical being or not.
Hermione - 'Cute? What do you mean cute? Oh and muggle or not?'
She knew if he was muggle that last part would not make any sense but she needed to know. Not long ago only she and the other muggle-borns had cellphones but since muggle technology was slowly sneaking into the magical world almost everyone had them, Dumbledore had even allowed them into school!
Prince - 'Cute as in adorable :) and most definitely magical.'
So he was magical, this was good. It meant she may know this 'Prince' guy. As she replied she chose to ignore the adorable comment.
Hermione - 'Do you go to Hogwarts?'
She hoped he was a fellow Gryffindor, that would make the first few weeks of the holidays fly by. She was to go to the burrow in three weeks but until then she was alone. The Weasley children were yet to get cellphones and she wanted to tell her closest girlfriend Ginny about this new boy and to find out if she knew anyone called 'Prince'. Hermione quickly skipped over to her desk and pulled out a piece of parchment. And began to scribble:
Ginny,
Do you know anyone called 'Prince'? I have a random texting me and I want to know who he is. All I know is he is a magical being. HELP!
Lots of Love
Hermione
Calling her owl Arabella over Hermione heard her phone go off on her bed. Quick as a flash she tied the letter onto Arabella's leg, sent her out the window and dived onto her bed.
Prince - 'Yes I go to Hogwarts. I am in my 6th year. You?'
Hermione grinned, this was great! He was in the same year as she was. She still didn't know who he was but at least she knew that she had at least met him in person and it wasn't a complete stranger.
Hermione - 'I am in my 6th year also.'
Hermione didn't know what had come over her, this was not her at all. She never text strangers and gave out information about herself. But she just couldn't help herself. He was the perfect stranger.
