money. What do you expect from a high school kid?
Hermione Granger was in her element. She was finally on her own and she was in one of the most beautiful and fascinating places on Earth. Egypt. Actually a dig site located about 16 miles outside the area known as the valley of the dead. She was sitting on a rock watching the Egyptian sunset and remembering how she got to that ancient paradise.
~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~
"Mum has the postman come yet?" yelled an excited Hermione Granger. "No dear, not yet. Why do you ask?" replied Mrs. Granger no interested. "Well I'm waiting for the newsletter for the British Museum to come. I here that there's going to be an expedition to Egypt to investigate a new possible tomb found by a group of geologists looking for a type of limestone. It could be the oldest tomb ever found!" a very excited Hermione said to her mother. "And you want to go, don't you?" asked her father who by now had come into the kitchen and was suddenly interested b the conversation. Hermione put on her best puppy dog eyes and said" Well Daddy I was hoping that you and Mum might let me go. I mean it's a once in a lifetime opportunity! How often do I get the chance to excavate the oldest tomb in Egypt! Please Daddy, Mum, can't I go? Please? Pleeeeeeeeeasssssse?" "Your mother and I have to discuss it but maybe. And only if w know exactly where you're going to be and who is leading this.. expedition thing." Her father sternly replied."Yeahhhhh!!!!!" was Hermoines reply.

The Grangers sat at the desk of a very old man in an old and nearly forgotten corner of the British Museum. "Well Mr. And Mrs. Granger, your daughter Hermione is more than qualified to go on the trip but I must ask you, are you ready to take the time that will be necessary to get her in the expedition team?" the old man asked surveying the Grangers with interest. "Ummm what exactly do you mean by the time it will take to get her on the time?" asked a now slightly concerned Mrs. Granger. "Well even though Hermione is a very bright young girl, she's going to be more than just smart to get on the team because Markus Hopkins is leading it. He only accepts people on his teams who impress him and he is very hard to impress indeed. Markus looks for people who can keep up and aren't afraid to speak there minds to him. Which is very hard indeed." He then smiled and said" But I have no doubt that your Hermione can do it. Now she'll need to be here between 10:00 and 2:00 tomorrow for an interview with Markus and you'll be contacted after that to whether or not she made it into the group or not. Here's my card and you can reach me anytime you need to at the number there. Well, good luck and I'll let Markus know to expect you tomorrow. Good day." He said as he handed the Grangers a crumpled business card from somewhere deep in his pockets. The Granger stood and left the small cramped office only to be confronted by a very excited Hermione. "Well, did I get in the group?" she asked looking about ready to jump out of her skin. "We have to come back between 10:00 and 2:00 tomorrow so you can have an interview with the expedition leader." replied Mr.Granger. "Alright then 10:00 tomorrow it is then!" said Hermione.
After an hour of Hermione chatting incessantly about how interesting the Egyptian pharaohs were and a quick stop for dinner at a restaurant, the Grangers were finally home. Hermione finally then realized how tired she was and almost dragged herself to her bedroom. When she got there she absent-mindedly threw on her pajamas and fell into bed where she dreamed about the beautiful Egyptian landscape. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^********^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A/N: So how did you like it? OK? Horrible? The most brilliant thing you have ever read? Please tell me I really wanna know. By the way this is my first fic so that's why it's so bad. And I promise it'll get more interesting later on but you'll have to bear with me. So please R/R
