Hermione read the letter in her hands for a third time. She was having trouble comprehending the contents of it. She wasn't sure what to do.

Ms. Granger,

As your agent, you know that I always have your best interests in mind. This is an interesting proposal, and that is why I ask you to read all the way to the end. Although you're still quite famous in the Wizarding World, the fame's faded considerably since the Battle of Hogwarts. I'm aware that you're not writing anything at the moment, and although you have more than enough money to keep you on your feet, this could be an amazing opportunity to retain your level of financial stability. It's quite simple, really. We'll need to find a homeless person. You're going to tell their story. I want details. I want to know how their life started out. How did they end up on the streets? You'll likely be spending a long time with whoever they are, so you'd better choose wisely. We'll need to find someone who not only has an interesting life but also someone who is willing to tell you EVERYTHING. It's a great publicity stunt, not to mention the fact that with the money we receive for the book, we'll be able to give one homeless person a home. If this one sells as well as I think it will, we'll be able to feed that person for the rest of their lives. People will buy anything as long as they know it's written by THE Hermione Granger. See what I mean?! Not only is this great for you (and your image), it's also great for whoever we'd be helping. Please take this into consideration. It won't be that bad, I promise. Call me when you get this.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Audrey Teresanto

The idea was definitely original, but Hermione didn't feel up for it. Between her campaign for better treatment of house elves really taking off and constantly baby-sitting her godson James Sirius, she felt she didn't have to time to dedicate towards this particular project.

Plus, she didn't feel like she needed the job. Or the money. She absolutely adored writing and normally would've been ecstatic over a proposal like this. But for some reason, she'd been losing her patience while writing. Before, words used to fly out of her mind and flow onto paper; now they came out in hard chunks that she couldn't decipher.

On the other hand, however, it would be absolutely lovely to hear someone's whole story and then present them with enough money to buy or rent a place of their own.

Hermione didn't really care for the publicity. In fact, she hadn't even wanted an agent. But within just weeks of the Battle of Hogwarts, the Golden Trio had been flooded with fanmail, crowds, and even stalkers. There were even those who went as far as to take photographs of them while in public. That's when Harry recommended that all three of them should get an agent to help manage public appearances and career opportunities. They all ended up going with Lucinda, because she seemed like a let's-get-down-to-business-person. She took their likes and dislikes and incorporated them into all of their entrances, opportunities, jobs, etc.

While she didn't think she had the time to focus on an entirely new project now, she knew that she'd regret it forever if she said no to the proposal. And plus, her heart swelled thinking of giving someone something that could buy them a home.

Sighing, Hermione picked up the phone and dialed Lucinda's number. She had no idea that she was in for the craziest ride of her life yet.

Hello, all! I am so, so sorry. I haven't been on in almost a year. But it's winter break now, I have a laptop, and lots of new ideas! I hope you enjoy this first chapter. It's definitely not much, but it's something. Please leave me a review with your thoughts; I'd love to know what you think of my story.

Love you all!
