Not your typical Harry Potter fan fic! Hopefully a really funny story,
featuring Nsync!

This is my first try at writing HP fanfic, but I've read many. Most are very
serious and are down to the last detail, perfectly matching the books. Please
don't expect that from me ;) I just hope you enjoy it.

The
Announcement
"Harry did you notice anything different about
Hermione?" Ron Weasley asked his one best friend, Harry Potter about their
other, Hermione Granger.
"No,
not really. She seems the same as always, reading, reading, reading," Harry
replied as they walked back down the Hogwarts Express to the compartment they
had been in prior to changing into their school robes.
"But did you see what she was
reading?" Ron asked.
Harry looked puzzled as he pushed open
the door. They stopped walking as soon as they heard giggles. Hermione was
sitting with Parvarti and Padma Patil. They were all looking at a magazine on
Hermione's lap. Ron looked at Harry who looked back, obviously confused. Ron
wlked over, clearing his throat and asked what was so funny.
The girls looked up at him and
Hermione began to blush and quickly hid the magazine in her bag. The other
girls stood up and walked past Harry and Ron into the rest of the train. "See
you at school Hermione," Parvarti called.
Ron and Harry still bewildered sat
back down in their seats. When they asked her what was going on she would just
tell them they wouldn't understand it was 'girl stuff.'
The Hogwarts Express pulled into
Hogsmeade and Ron, Harry and Hermione climbed into a horse-less horse drawn
carriage that would take them to Hogwarts.
"Two years in a row now we've gotten
here the same way as everyone else," Ron pointed out as they got out of the
carriage in front of the school.
"That must be some kind of record for
the two of you," George Weasley pointed out.
The sorting and feast was as enjoyable
as Harry had remembered. The three friends went up to the Griffindor common
room, but Hermione quickly left to go to her quarters as soon as they got
there. "I've got to get ready for tomorrow," she said as though it was obvious.
"If it was anyone besides her I would
have though they'd forgotten to do their summmer work," Ron chuckled as he and
Harry went up to their own quarters to unpack.

Life at Hogwarts was a lot calmer than Harry was
used to, no evil monsters to fight, but he and Ron both felt a sense of unease
towards Hermione. She rarely spent time with them, and spent more time with
headphones on or gossiping than she ever had reading.
But whenever the subject was brought up, with Fred
and George, Ginny, Mrs. Weasley or even Hermione herself, the answer was always
the same, she was growing up.
"If that's what growing up is like I'm glad I
haven't," Ron would always reply.
At breakfast one morning three weeks into the term
Harry began asking Hermione a question about their potions homework when Ron,
across the table, pointed at her ears.
"She's wearing them to meals now," Ron said,
obviously annoyed.
"Wearing what?" Harry asked, only able to see her
bushy brown hair.
"Her headphones," sighed Ron. "I think whatever is
playing is brainwashing her."
Harry rolled his eyes and tapped Hermione on the shoulder.
"Er, I was hoping you could help me with this potions question," he said after
she removed the headphones.
"What were you listening to?" Ron asked after they
had finished discussing the question.
"Just some muggle band," Hermione said blushing. But
neither of the boys noticed because a flurry of owls flew into the Great Hall.
Ron and Harry each received a letter from Mrs. Weasley and Hermione got her
copy of The Daily Prophet. Another owl began circling the three, finally
dropping its letter in Hermione's lap.
"What's that?" Harry asked curiously. "It has muggle
postage too!"
"I have no idea," Hermione replied, hurriedly
opening the letter. "My parents must have got it in the muggle mail for me."
She took the letter out of the envelope and began to read. "Oh my!" she
exclaimed.
"What?!" said Harry and Ron in unison.
"I'll tell you later, I have to check something."
She said, racing off, most likely in normal Hermione fashion to the library.

Their teachers kept them very busy in ever class that
day, so Harry and Ron didn't get a chance to ask Hermione about her exciting
mail until they were in the Griffindor common room that night. "Well I won
something," Hermione said, as vaguely as was possible. "You'll have to wait
until tomorrow," she said, despite the boy's pleas.
At breakfast the next morning Ron asked if she would
tell them now. Hermione shook her head and said they would find out soon
enough. As soon as she finished saying that Professor Dumbledore asked for
everyone's attention.
"I have a very special announcement to make this
morning," he said, his eyes twinkling in Hermione's direction.
"Is this about
you Herm?" Ron asked. Hermione nodded, mumbling "kind of". Harry
and Ron raised their eyebrows at one another, turning back to hear what
Dumbledore would say.
"This year we are going to have the pleasure of
hosting the very first all-muggle band in Hogwarts history," Dumbledore said.
At this point kids from all the house tables began
talking. Some, like Draco Malfoy, disgusted at the thought of muggles entering
his domain, while many others were very excited and began whispering their
guesses.
Dumbledore quietly cleared his throat, once again
commanding everyone's attention. "A Hogwart's student, Hermione Granger, has
won a contest to havr the very popular band, Nsync, perform at our school. The
concert will be October 31st in place of our normal Halloween
celebration.
He sat back down and the whole school began talking
at once. Parvarti and the other Griffindor girls began shreiking, almost as
loud as Harry imagined a baby mandrake would.
