This story is AU!
Harry Potter was just about to open his hand to release the snitch when his mother, Lily, came running out. Lily was a very pretty woman; she had bright red hair and beautiful emerald eyes. Tonight she was wearing a long green dress to match her eyes.
"No, you two. Not Quidditch tonight! We are vacation, which means we are not here to do the things we normally do at home. This Witches and Wizards (and immediate family members) Retreat wasn't free you know." Lily told James, Harry's father, and Harry.
"But, mom, just one quick game. Please?" Harry asked giving her his puppy dog pout. Lily turned away from her 17-year-old son to avoid the pout that she knew could make her do anything he wanted her too.
"Yeah, please, Lil. Just one quick game." James pleaded pouting as well. Harry and James were almost identical except for two things: 1) Their age and 2) Their eyes. Harry had Lily's vibrant green eyes and James' unruly black hair.
"No, James! We are EXPECTED to be at the adult party upstairs in ten minutes and you need to change. Now come on…" Lily demanded dragging her husband away from the large opened field. Then, realizing she had forgot to tell Harry something she turned, "Harry, dear, the teen party is being held in the basement."
"Do I have to?" Harry asked struggling to hold the anxious snitch in his hand. "I really don't wanna go to that stupid teen party. They are so boring and dumb." He thought ruefully.
"Yes, you do. Come and change. I will call to check and make sure you are actually there in a little while." Lily, literally, dragged Harry and James up to their hotel room to change clothes; both men grumbling the whole way.
Hermione Granger was sitting on the couch in her hotel room reading "Beauxbatons: A Magical History" The book was filled with facts about her school. Yes, Hermione Granger attends Beauxbatons Magical Academy. She was the top witch at the school and she excelled above and beyond every other girl in the school. She was especially good at the spells to attract males, but she never used them on men because she wanted them to like her for her, not because of some stupid power. Someone came up in front of her and stood there, but Hermione didn't notice. The person grabbed the book out of Hermione's hands.
"Mom! Give that back! Please!" She begged making futile attempts at grabbing the book. Her mother shook her head no and kept the book away from the girl.
"Hermione you have been reading all during our vacation. Now, if you want your book returned you, you are going to listen and do as I tell you. Understood?" Mrs. Ganger informed her brilliant daughter. Hermione nodded so her mother continued,
"You are going to get changed and go down to that teen party while I go to the adult party. That's final."
"Okay." Hermione resigned, "May I please have my book back now?" Hermione asked.
"Of course dear." Her mother replied handing her back her favorite book.
As Harry expected the teen party was a bust. It was pretty funny watching people go up on the platform and sing. The current two people up there were singing, "Baby One More Time" By Britney Spears. Everyone clapped for the two, who were actually pretty good, as they stepped off the platform. The spotlights circled randomly for a minute before landing on Harry and Hermione. Some people Harry did not know forced him up onto the platform.
Hermione, who was too busy reading the book she'd read six hundred times over, didn't notice the spotlight land on her. People near her, forced her up out of the chair, yanked her book out of her hands, and led her forcefully up onto the platform. She looked around and all consuming fear enveloping her being. She didn't sing in front of people. She glanced over at the man next to her and smiled.
"At least he looks as nervous as I feel." She thought thankfully. "Good gravy, he is hot!" She forced that thought out of her mind as gently music began to flow from the speaker and the lyrics appeared on the TV screen in front of the two.
"I can't do this!" He thought, but starting singing anyway, when he was prompted to do so by the lyrics on the TV screen in front of him and the girl.
Harry: Living in my own world
Didn't understand
That anything can happen
When you take a chance
Harry looked over at the girl next to her. It didn't look like she was planning to sing, so Harry began stepping of the platform. Her soft, nervous, but beautiful voice stopped him.
Hermione: I never believed in
What I couldn't see
I never opened my heart
To all the possibilities
Both: I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
And right here tonight
Both: This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
Harry: ooohhhh
Both: And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
Harry looked at the girl next to him. He had to admit she was beautiful! He couldn't remove his eyes from her.
Harry: Now who'd of ever thought that
Both: We'd both be here tonight
Hermione: And the world looks so much brighter
With you by my side
Both: I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
Hermione: I know it for real
Both: This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
Harry: I never knew that it could happen
Till it happened to me
Hermione: I didn't know it before
But now it's easy to see
Both: It's a start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
Both: That it's the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
Hermione: The start of something new
Harry: Start of something new
Both: The start of something new
Both Harry and Hermione were breathing heavy after that. They looked around and saw that they had a standing ovation. They both smiled, gave tiny bows, picked up the things they'd left sitting in their original seats, and then everyone went outside to watch the fireworks.
"I'm Hermione Granger." She stated holding out her hand for the young man to take. The fireworks were currently going on, so she had to yell but she didn't mind.
"I'm Harry Potter, it's nice meeting you, Hermione." He said politely taking her smaller hand in his slightly larger one.
"It's nice meeting you too, Harry." She replied, thinking that name sounded familiar. Just at the moment, Harry and Hermione's cell phones started going off. "Excuse me." She stated and answered her phone while he answered.
"Yes, mom, I'm at the party." The both said at the time. They each raised one eyebrow at the other.
"No, mom, I'm not alone in a corner reading." Hermione replied to her mother's question, annoyed that her mom thought she was so predictable. After a few more seconds she clicked the phone shut.
"No, mom, I'm not causing major mayhem." Harry replied to his mother's question, annoyed that his mom thought he was so predictable. After a few more seconds he clicked the phone shut.
"Sorry about that. My mom wanted to make sure I was actually at the party." They both said again.
"Can I have your cell phone number?" Harry asked and Hermione nodded yes.
"But only if I can have yours." She replied. He snapped a picture of her with his camera phone and handed it to her so she could program her information into his phone. She snapped one him and handed him her phone.
"It's weird that we both have cell phones because not many witches and wizards have cell phones." Harry commented handing her, her phone back and she handed him his cell phone back as well.
"My mom is a Muggle and she is allergic to owls so I had to get a cell phone so I could keep in touch with her." Hermione informed, making sure his information was saved before turning her cell phone off.
"I got one so that I could keep in touch with my Muggle friends in Godric's Hollow." Harry replied casually, making sure her information was saved before turning his cell phone off.
"I guess I better go say happy New Year to my mom. Bye, Harry Potter." Hermione stated.
"You know, Hermione singing with you has been the most fun I've had while on this vacation." Harry commented casually. He turned to look at her, to find the spot she had previously occupied empty.
