2 "Butterflies In My Stomach?"
Chapter 1: "The Summer had just began"
Hermione was in her parents car heading to her home after her 5th year in Hogwarts, she was seeing through the transparent window into the streets. The weather was warm and all the plants seem to be full of life. There were two kids playing on the street, they were chasing each other. Hermione was lost in thought. Hermione had a huge fight with Ron before leaving the Hogwarts Express. It was stupid, really and Ron was just such an idiot. 'He didn't have any right to complain about what I wear for God's sake!!' She remembered what Ron told her about her little shorts and her tight top "Are you going to wear that?? You look like… Harry say something! I forbid you to wear that, all the boys are going to be after your legs they would think that you are just a, just a-an 'easy girl'"
EASY GIRL! Come on, like if he didn't know her! She could maybe be just a bookworm, a-a nerd, many things before being what Ron had said!
She now was getting redden with fury, she was even hotter since it was a sunny day and her blood was boiling with rage.
The car stop in front of her house, she got out of the car his father carrying her big heavy trunk (full of books…lol).
She was walking towards her house thinking 'He doesn't have any right to tell me what I can and can't use!! How did he dare to told me that, and even worse, when I told him he hadn't any right to tell me anything he just began to ignore me!'
"Hermi!" 'who is calling me? Oh my! it's my best muggle friend, Vanessa, Vanessa Adams! She hasn't change, she is still the same even if I don't have seen her in an entire year!'
"Vanessa! How are you I haven't see you in a so long time!"
"Neither do I Hermi, come on!" 'she told me she was going for a walk with her toy poodle dog. I ask permission to my mom to go with Vanessa for a while and she nodded. We hugged and then I look down.
"Little 'Bruiser', how are you little one" 'I said patting the toy poodle's head, he is so cute!
"How was your school year Hermione?" the short black haired girl asked her. Vanessa was indeed very pretty, almost all the guys on the block were after her, well at least when Hermione wasn't around. Vanessa had straight hair just above her neck, she had very dark brown eyes, and some freckles on her nose, she has a tan skin color.
"It was alright, and yours?"
"Just as any normal school, we know each other since we were six years old and I've always know that you have always like to study, but why girl had you have to go to a boarding school?" she said with a grin in her face. "I have miss you so much during this year, you won't be able to guess all the things that had happened lately!"
"First of all: I got a boyfriend…" Hermione look a bit shock
"You got a boyfriend, when I'm going to meet…" she was cut by Vanessa's reply
"We broke up two or three months ago."
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear." Vanessa sighed and began to explain to Hermione
"No Herm, you haven't to be sorry, it was the best and wise decision I had made in my entire life, he was a total jerk!"
The two girls began to laugh hard at the mention of Vanessa's ex-boyfriend. "He thought that he was so 'macho' and he was always trying to control me and trying to sleep with me."
"What?" Hermione had never thought that Vanessa was beginning to confront that type of problems that you see in the muggle's series (more like soap operas) like "Dawson's Creek", "Once and Again", etc. you know that kind of mushy series, even if she like to watch them. They're entertaining, but it was an another thing talking about her best childhood friend having that kind of problems…
"Yes, I know, like I told you before he was so idiot, well before we were a couple he wasn't like that."
"I think that maybe he became jealous and possessive, you know boys sometimes could be from Mars!" Vanessa began to laugh, Hermione too.
At that moment 'Bruiser' was pulling his change as hard as he could.
"Uh-uh I think that someone has to use the potty. Isn't that true 'Bruiser'?" Vanessa chuckle and look at 'Bruiser and then at me and then back at 'Bruiser'.
"Herm, I have this slight idea, you know, about that maybe, just maybe there is a little chance that 'Bruiser' won't answer your question." She said in a mocking tone of voice we both laughed again as we start to walk while 'Bruiser' was searching for the right place to well, to you know…
'We come back again to the front of her house. To me, 'Bruiser' seems happier than before, after he makes pupu. The sun had hide a couple of minutes after we began walking.
"You know Herm I have this brilliant idea! Why don't you come to my home tomorrow I'll organize a slumber party in your honor!" Vanessa was totally over excited. "I'll invite all the girls and we'll rent movies!"
"You are the best friend a wi, ahem-girl could ever have!" Hermione hugged Vanessa tightly.
"Don't be so sentimental, girl! Ok then? See you tomorrow! Bye"
"Bye" Hermione walked a few steps to her home, after all Vanessa was her neighbor, she had been really sad when she
had to separate from her when she had to go to her Hogwarts' first year.
I went to my house to have dinner. "What have you cook mom?"
"Cook? Cook? Please define the word 'cook'?" she joke at me "I called Kentucky Friend Chicken" I gave a her a little smile and she smiles sweetly back at me.
"Hermione, why you still have hopes? You know your mother." Andrew Granger starts to joke around, Isabella Granger shot him a fake glare and then the three of them started to laugh hard. 'It feels so well to be in home again' Hermione started to eat her food.
"Mom, dad, can I go to sleep at Vanessa's house tomorrow?"
"Of course dear."
…………………………………………………………….
I got up late, as any normal day I took a shower and put on myself muggle cloth. I put on a pair of hip blue jeans, a baby blue tank top and a white cardigan. I combed my hair and was easy to comb my curls (thank God that my hair was no longer frizzy). I then went to the dinning room and eat a delicious breakfast, cook by no other than my mom herself!
She began to watch T.V., she had missed the T.V. 'Oh my God I'm so happy to see you again!' she thought as she began to hug slightly the T.V set. She continued that way until, after 3 hours and a half of watching every program than she could including one the she like called "Gilmore Girls", the door rang. "I get it"
Who could it be? Ah who else? Vanessa. I open the door fast with my eyes shut and without looking hug my best friend. Wait a minute!
My friend isn't so tall, neither have a wide back, neither muscles, and 'this' friend even haven't a normal girl's chest!
I heard Vanessa laughing hard. I slowly open my eyes to see the wide smile that Mark has in his face.
"Mark! How are you? I haven't see you in such a long time!" Mark O'Brien was seventeen years old, he had dark brown hair and dark blue eyes, he had a nice body too. 'He is looking cute' Hermione thought. Mark was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a blue shirt and Vanessa a pair of black pants and a strap white top.
" I'm fine and you? You had been neglecting your other friends hear aside Vanessa."
"That's not true Mark" Hermione said in a serious tone.
"I was just joking, but it had a little of true, isn't it?" he asked me giving me another smile. "so, how was your school year? how are your grades? how are your friends?, what are their names? Doyouhaveaboyfriend?" He had asked her many question and even if he had asked it very fast Hermione understood the last one, but she decide to ignore it. She tried to calm herself, she was beginning to blush.
'Vanessa don't give that look, please' Hermione thought, Vanessa was giving her a surprise happy look 'she heard the question as well as I had.'
"Mmm. too many questions, let me see! It was ok, are great, they are the best (well, even if Ron is sometimes an idiot), their names are Harry and Ron, I also have some other friends as Neville, Dean, Parvati, Lavender and Seamus. They all just so good friends, but my best are Harry and Ron." Vanessa shot her a glare "…my best friends at school, of course." It is official, I'm not answering his last question!
"Well, should we go for a walk, empty heads?" Vanessa asked saving Hermione's skin.
Thank you a lot Vanessa! I should bought her something as a late Christmas' present. I couldn't have sent her one with an owl, she doesn't know I'm a witch! What should I get her, mm, she wears a lot of make up, I could buy her make up, or a necklace, or mm, don't know it has to be special, she is such a good friend!
We started to walked towards the mall…
"Well what you want as Christmas gift, Herm?" Mark suddenly turns his face towards mine and ask me. We were in July, for God's sake! It had been more than a half year since Christmas.
"Mark, Christmas was on December."
"So"
"Mm, ok I think that anything would be alright don't worry." The true was even if Hermione didn't know that Mark had already bought her a Christmas' present : a pretty ring.
Hermione was looking to every part, looking for a nice present to give to both of them, since Mark would give her a present she just couldn't give him anything. A sign caught her attention in one stand near the entrance to the restaurants.
'Live the experience of your life at the Bosque's Camp. For three weeks you'll live the experience of your life for only 90 lbs, per person. Sign yourself now, the inscription is limited!!!' (A/N: I don't know 'bout their monetary system, I just picked a number)
That's it! I'll get them tickets for the camp and one for myself. We're going to have so much fun. It had been a long time since I don't do normal muggle things.
"OH…MY…GOSH" Vanessa said under her breath, obvious excitedly. "Mmm, what happened?" I asked her.
"Hermione look at THAT boy." She told me discreetly pointing to a bunch of people. She didn't care talking about hot guys in front of Mark. By the corner of my eyes I saw Mark's serious face when I started to scan with the view all the place.
Hermione saw a gold-silver headed boy. 'NO! it can't be! Can't be him!' But, it was her enemy, the muggle hater, Draco Malfoy. Indeed he was totally gorgeous, he had grown a lot during the Fifth year he was surely taller than Ron and even taller than Mark even if Mark had seventeen. He was muscular and lean. His beautiful eyes were gray with silver spots, his gaze was completely piercing. He had a nice smile and a nice butt, too. Many of the Hogwarts girls were after him: all the Slytherin house, a lot of the Hufflepuffs, many Ravenclaws (including Cho Chang, Harry was seething inwardly) and even with all the Gryffindor-Slytherin problems, a lot of the Gryffinfors girls were head over heels after him, including Lavender and Parvati, that can't believe the she didn't find him hot. She only said to them "Come on, is only a little spoiled brat." Their usual answer was something like "Even if he is a brat he is totally gorgeous!"
"Hermione!" Mark shouted.
"What?"
"You were staring agape for more than five minutes! I called you but you didn't said anything" It was true she had been totally lost in thoughts.
He is wearing muggle cloth? Well it wasn't if I expect him to wear his black robes and his cloak in a muggle city. What he is doing here anyway?
Malfoy was wearing cacki pants and a dark green shirt, they fit well into him.
"Vanessa! Hermione!"
"What!" we both snapped at the same time. He had broke off our train of thoughts.
"Would you please stop staring at that boy! You look like if you are drooling over him!"
"Me drooling over Malfoy! There is no way that'll happen ever!" Mark smile to himself at Hermione's comment.
"Malfoy? Oh God don't tell me that you know him!" Vanessa ask bouncing.
There was silent for a few seconds, until Vanessa began to speak again.
"So do you know him or not?"
"He is from Hogwarts" telling them the name of my school is not the same that telling them is a witchcraft school. They look at me like if they didn't understand what is Hogwarts, I had never told Vanessa the name of my school "the school that I attend" they both have now some 'oh' looks.
"Well, introduce me!"
"Vanessa, come on, he is just a spoil brat, I know him well" Well, I know that he is just a rich slimy git, with a Death Eater father, that he lives in a huge manor, that he hates muggles and muggles born, and last but no least: he is such an ass!
"I don't care! You told me that he was in your school right? Shame, shame, shame, on his parents for putting him in a boarding school, a guy like that has to be able to see!"
I gave Malfoy another glance, then Lucius appeared they both have disgust looks on their faces, of course they hate muggles and they were in a muggle place, it wasn't their heaven… but what they were doing here?
They began to walk away and now the only thing visible is a bang of gold- silver.
"Well, he is just gone" Mark said in a cheerful voice, he didn't took care in hiding that it makes him happy.
"Vanessa, I have to talk to you for a minute, you don't bother, do you Hermione?"
"No it's alright." I have to buy their presents and that was just the perfect opportunity. I check on them to see if they are out of sight, I walked to the stand and buy three tickets. They are going to be so happy!
After I buy the tickets I kept in my place for just a couple of seconds before Vanessa returned with Mark, she was wearing a playful smile , but why?
"Hey, you two, the lovers, what were you talking about?" I joked
"Oh God, Hermione you have to be my maid of honor, we're going to get marry!" Vanessa joked back pretending to be excited.
We all laugh. Yeah life is totally different when I get out of Hogwarts. Here I'm free…free from etiquettes that other people might choose to put me, free from school's pressures, free from a child's dream world and now is when I realize that the dream world is here, just to be here living simply, being happy with the silliest things, yeah, this life living with comforts and no worries is amazing.
"Hermi, I have a great idea, come on!" they had ceased to laugh and Vanessa took Hermione's hand and began to drag her along to this new shop that was displaying in front their eyes 'Teen Stuff & Fun'. Surely it was the biggest store in the mall.
Mark walked with them at Hermione's side.
"You see" he said in a low tone "this shop is new. Even if you search, you wouldn't find a shop more full of stuff that we like in London, I think even in England!" Mark said excitedly.
Hermione listened to him without looking at him, she was amused by the big shop. She could saw by the glass all kind of things in there a lot of clothe, accessories, sport's objects (she doesn't knows anything when it came to sports.", even playing machines (yeah that ones where you have to insert a coin), all was suit in a fashionable way by combined colors and by categories.
They entered the shop, at the door there was a lady, in her twenties, who was wearing a one piece, light yellow suit, she also was wearing skates.
"Welcome to 'Teen Stuff & Fun?, feel free to buy and play" she said, a warm smile playing on her lips. She had red hair, brown eyes and freckles. She was skinny too.
They passed the big glass door. Hermione was still amused at the display of so many colors in just one place. All was beautifully decorate in a strange spirited active way.
"How much do you think they paid that girl for just stay at the door wearing that fake warm smile and greet the people like a robot." Mark asked to the girls with a little smile.
"Mmm, I don't know, but don't forget the tight outfit!"
"Yeah," Vanessa said turning her head back giving the woman another shot "just wearing that outfit is probably 50% of her salary."
"I don't mind about it." Mark said the two girls turn to look at him. They smile knowingly 'he is a boy after all' they thought.
"Well, lets see some clothe!" Vanessa cheer, looking to the girl's clothe part in the huge shop.
"Come on!" Mark said annoy.
"You can go to see some sports' objects, or play with the machines, I don't know." I try to tell him in a reassurance voice: "It won't take long"
He chuckled "Ok I'll give you twenty minutes. I want to see you here at the end of them."
"Ok daddy." Me and Vanessa resort at the same time joking.
The girls went to their section and proved some nice dresses, pants, shirts, well they proved all they could in 20 minutes. Finally they went near the entrance where Mark was waiting. They were looking for a seller when another woman with skates and the same clothe approached them.
"How can I help you?" she asked in a polite voice to Vanessa, who was holding a pretty brilliant orange hat and a orange toned lipstick.
" We need to buy this." Vanessa said handing the 2 objects to the seller.
She took the objects and said: "Ok, follow me, please" she said and began to go to the right part of the shop where a cashier was.
After Vanessa paid her stuff. They walked out of the shop.
"Well, who wants to see a movie?" Mark asked.
"Me!" the girls answer in unison.
The three went to the cinema and stared at the list of the movies that were displaying. They argue for a short time 'cause Vanessa wanted to see a romantic one, Mark an action one, and Hermione a drama one, they finally decide for a comedy.
When the movie finished they went immediately towards their neighborhood. Still talking about the movie until Vanessa open her eyes wide and remember about the slumber party. She had already decorate her room, but she hadn't rent the videos, yet.
"Oh God, guys can you accompany me to 'Blockbuster'?"
"No problem" Mark said.
Hermione was about to answer but, Vanessa interrupt her: "Wait!, Hermi this slumber party is for, you don't have to go."
"But,"
"No, now get in your house and prepare yourself. See you later." Vanessa said dragging Mark by his sleeve.
"Well, bye Hermione, have fun" Mark shyly said.
"Thank you, bye." With that Hermione turned around and walk towards her house. 'They don't have the slightest idea of what my present is! But then, what was doing Malfoy at the mall?
Ugh, Hermione you don't have time to wonder 'bout the ferret, you have to take a bath and a seek for your sleeping bag for the slumber party!
………………………………………………..
Hermione walked out of her house in a few seconds she was in Vanessa's house, she was carrying a bag with her clothe. She also was wearing a large coat that was covering her pajamas.
Vanessa's mother, that also was her mom's best friend, Miriam was leading Hermione to Vanessa's room, just in case Hermione wouldn't remember where it was, 'cause it had been a really long time since the last time she had been in Vanessa's house.
"The other girls have arrived in the last 15 minutes. Well, Hermione here we're" Vanessa's mom told her pointing a pearl door.
"Thank you."
"Well, have fun!" with that Miriam went to her own room.
Hermione's hand moved the door's knob slowly as she entered the bedroom.
"SURPRISE!" a bunch of girls scream, even if it wasn't a surprise slumber party, it was only because it sounds happier than to no said anything.

She only said to them "Come on, is only a little spoiled brat." Their usual answer was something like "Even if he is a brat he is totally gorgeous!"
"Hermione!" Mark shouted.
"What?"
"You were staring agape for more than five minutes! I called you but you didn't said anything" It was true she had been totally lost in thoughts.
He is wearing muggle cloth? Well it wasn't if I expect him to wear his black robes and his cloak in a muggle city. What he is doing here anyway?
Malfoy was wearing cacki pants and a dark green shirt, they fit well into him.
"Vanessa! Hermione!"
"What!" we both snapped at the same time. He had broke off our train of thoughts.
"Would you please stop staring at that boy! You look like if you are drooling over him!"
"Me drooling over Malfoy! There is no way that'll happen ever!" Mark smile to himself at Hermione's comment.
"Malfoy? Oh God don't tell me that you know him!" Vanessa ask bouncing.
There was silent for a few seconds, until Vanessa began to speak again.
"So do you know him or not?"
"He is from Hogwarts" telling them the name of my school is not the same that telling them is a witchcraft school. They look at me like if they didn't understand what is Hogwarts, I had never told Vanessa the name of my school "the school that I attend" they both have now some 'oh' looks.
"Well, introduce me!"
"Vanessa, come on, he is just a spoil brat, I know him well" Well, I know that he is just a rich slimy git, with a Death Eater father, that he lives in a huge manor, that he hates muggles and muggles born, and last but no least: he is such an ass!
"I don't care! You told me that he was in your school right? Shame, shame, shame, on his parents for putting him in a boarding school, a guy like that has to be able to see!"
I gave Malfoy another glance, then Lucius appeared they both have disgust looks on their faces, of course they hate muggles and they were in a muggle place, it wasn't their heaven… but what they were doing here?
They began to walk away and now the only thing visible is a bang of gold- silver.
"Well, he is just gone" Mark said in a cheerful voice, he didn't took care in hiding that it makes him happy.
"Vanessa, I have to talk to you for a minute, you don't bother, do you Hermione?"
"No it's alright." I have to buy their presents and that was just the perfect opportunity. I check on them to see if they are out of sight, I walked to the stand and buy three tickets. They are going to be so happy!
After I buy the tickets I kept in my place for just a couple of seconds before Vanessa returned with Mark, she was wearing a playful smile , but why?
"Hey, you two, the lovers, what were you talking about?" I joked
"Oh God, Hermione you have to be my maid of honor, we're going to get marry!" Vanessa joked back pretending to be excited.
We all laugh. Yeah life is totally different when I get out of Hogwarts. Here I'm free…free from etiquettes that other people might choose to put me, free from school's pressures, free from a child's dream world and now is when I realize that the dream world is here, just to be here living simply, being happy with the silliest things, yeah, this life living with comforts and no worries is amazing.
"Hermi, I have a great idea, come on!" they had ceased to laugh and Vanessa took Hermione's hand and began to drag her along to this new shop that was displaying in front their eyes 'Teen Stuff & Fun'. Surely it was the biggest store in the mall.
Mark walked with them at Hermione's side.
"You see" he said in a low tone "this shop is new. Even if you search, you wouldn't find a shop more full of stuff that we like in London, I think even in England!" Mark said excitedly.
Hermione listened to him without looking at him, she was amused by the big shop. She could saw by the glass all kind of things in there a lot of clothe, accessories, sport's objects (she doesn't knows anything when it came to sports.", even playing machines (yeah that ones where you have to insert a coin), all was suit in a fashionable way by combined colors and by categories.
They entered the shop, at the door there was a lady, in her twenties, who was wearing a one piece, light yellow suit, she also was wearing skates.
"Welcome to 'Teen Stuff & Fun?, feel free to buy and play" she said, a warm smile playing on her lips. She had red hair, brown eyes and freckles. She was skinny too.
They passed the big glass door. Hermione was still amused at the display of so many colors in just one place. All was beautifully decorate in a strange spirited active way.
"How much do you think they paid that girl for just stay at the door wearing that fake warm smile and greet the people like a robot." Mark asked to the girls with a little smile.
"Mmm, I don't know, but don't forget the tight outfit!"
"Yeah," Vanessa said turning her head back giving the woman another shot "just wearing that outfit is probably 50% of her salary."
"I don't mind about it." Mark said the two girls turn to look at him. They smile knowingly 'he is a boy after all' they thought.
"Well, lets see some clothe!" Vanessa cheer, looking to the girl's clothe part in the huge shop.
"Come on!" Mark said annoy.
"You can go to see some sports' objects, or play with the machines, I don't know." I try to tell him in a reassurance voice: "It won't take long"
He chuckled "Ok I'll give you twenty minutes. I want to see you here at the end of them."
"Ok daddy." Me and Vanessa resort at the same time joking.
The girls went to their section and proved some nice dresses, pants, shirts, well they proved all they could in 20 minutes. Finally they went near the entrance where Mark was waiting. They were looking for a seller when another woman with skates and the same clothe approached them.
"How can I help you?" she asked in a polite voice to Vanessa, who was holding a pretty brilliant orange hat and a orange toned lipstick.
" We need to buy this." Vanessa said handing the 2 objects to the seller.
She took the objects and said: "Ok, follow me, please" she said and began to go to the right part of the shop where a cashier was.
After Vanessa paid her stuff. They walked out of the shop.
"Well, who wants to see a movie?" Mark asked.
"Me!" the girls answer in unison.
The three went to the cinema and stared at the list of the movies that were displaying. They argue for a short time 'cause Vanessa wanted to see a romantic one, Mark an action one, and Hermione a drama one, they finally decide for a comedy.
When the movie finished they went immediately towards their neighborhood. Still talking about the movie until Vanessa open her eyes wide and remember about the slumber party. She had already decorate her room, but she hadn't rent the videos, yet.
"Oh God, guys can you accompany me to 'Blockbuster'?"
"No problem" Mark said.
Hermione was about to answer but, Vanessa interrupt her: "Wait!, Hermi this slumber party is for, you don't have to go."
"But,"
"No, now get in your house and prepare yourself. See you later." Vanessa said dragging Mark by his sleeve.
"Well, bye Hermione, have fun" Mark shyly said.
"Thank you, bye." With that Hermione turned around and walk towards her house. 'They don't have the slightest idea of what my present is! But then, what was doing Malfoy at the mall?
Ugh, Hermione you don't have time to wonder 'bout the ferret, you have to take a bath and a seek for your sleeping bag for the slumber party!
………………………………………………..
Hermione walked out of her house in a few seconds she was in Vanessa's house, she was carrying a bag with her clothe. She also was wearing a large coat that was covering her pajamas.
Vanessa's mother, that also was her mom's best friend, Miriam was leading Hermione to Vanessa's room, just in case Hermione wouldn't remember where it was, 'cause it had been a really long time since the last time she had been in Vanessa's house.
"The other girls have arrived in the last 15 minutes. Well, Hermione here we're" Vanessa's mom told her pointing a pearl door.
"Thank you."
"Well, have fun!" with that Miriam went to her own room.
Hermione's hand moved the door's knob slowly as she entered the bedroom.
"SURPRISE!" a bunch of girls scream, even if it wasn't a surprise slumber party, it was only because it sounds happier than to no said anything.
