Chapter 1: The Letter

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Mail's here," a blonde called into the seemingly empty flat.

"I'm in here," a female voice called from one of the two bedrooms.

"You might want to look at this one," the blonde held out a brown envelope, with a red wax seal, to the stunning brunette.

"Hogwarts," the brunette whispered, a bit shocked.

"Well open it," the blonde urged.

"I'm busy, you read it." She passed the letter back to the blonde.

"Okay," she flopped down on the unmade bed and broke the seal. " We are pleased to invite you to your 10 year reunion at Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"I'm not going to that."

"Come on 'Mione, you gotta go to your reunion," Brenna argued with her roommate, after reading the letter.

" I see no point, I'll just get pestered with questions," 27 year old Hermione Granger countered, snatching the letter from the other girl's hand. "Now get off my bed so I can make it." She pushed Brenna off her queen-sized bed.

"Maybe some of those questions need to be answered," the petite blonde raised her perfectly shaped eyebrows.

"Whatever." Hermione continued to smooth out her sky blue comforter. 

Wouldn't everyone be surprised to hear bookworm Hermione Granger had become a muggle fashion model? They'd probably all die of shock. After her seventh year at Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Hermione had moved back in with her muggle parents and eventually fell into a full time modeling career. Now ten years later, she was one of the most sought after models.

"I'm going to go to mine when it comes," Brenna said blissfully, plopping herself back down on the corner of Hermione's just made bed. She didn't seem to catch Hermione's hint that she didn't want to discuss the topic any further.

Brenna was another model for the same company that Hermione worked for. She was a petite girl with long naturally blonde hair. They had been sharing a flat in Paris for the past three years, but Brenna was two years younger. She had graduated from a wizarding school in America. It seemed a funny coincidence, at first, that her roommate would also be a witch but Hermione was glad that she could be open about it with her.

"I'll think about it a bit more," Hermione finally replied exasperated over the whole thing. Her response resulted in a big smile and hug from Brenna.

"You won't regret it."

"I didn't say yes."

"Practically," Brenna smiled again before skipping out of the older girl's room.

"It would be nice to see everyone again," a smile tugged at her lips. Hermione walked over to her closet and pulled a dust-covered box off the top shelf. She sat down on her bed and slowly lifted the lid off. Inside were three leather photo albums. Carefully she lifted the top one out of the box and traced her finger over the Hogwart's emblem.

The first picture was of her and her two best friends, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. Seeing they're smiling faces in the picture brought a smile to her lips. They were such great friends until she left without telling them. Both boys had tried to make contact with her the first few years after they were out of school but gave up when she didn't reply.

"Should I help you pack?" Brenna was standing in the doorway watching Hermione.

"What makes you think I want to go?"

"You're looking through those albums and half crying, half smiling," Brenna sat on the bed beside her.

"I do miss them." She began to flip through the rest of the pages.

"Aww, you were so cute," Brenna cooed, pointing to a picture of Hermione from second year.

"With that hair?" Hermione cringed. "Ew, it's so nasty."

"Well compared to the hair you have now," Brenna flipped part of Hermione's brown curly hair into her face. "That hair did suck. Bet you didn't think you'd end up with natural ringlets?"

"No I definitely didn't." Hermione answered, patting her smooth locks.

"Whoa who is that?" Brenna turned the page back. "He is HOT!"

Hermione followed Brenna's finger down the page. Her stomach dropped. Brenna's finger was resting on a blonde haired boy with perfect pale skin and stunning gray eyes.

"Malfoy!?!"

"That's his name? It's different and he's a major babe," Brenna swooned.

"No that's his last name, his name's…" Hermione lost her train of thought while staring into those cold gray eyes.

"What is it?" Brenna pushed.

"D…Draco."

"Sounds sexy," Brenna purred.

WHAM!

Hermione slammed the album shut. Brenna jumped at the sudden noise. Hermione put the album back in its box and returned the box to her closet. "I've got a lot to get ready if I'm gonna go to this thing."

Brenna eyed her curiously. "Of course."  She hopped off the bed and left Hermione alone in her room again. This time Hermione closed the door so she would be left alone.
