AN: I know I'm horrible!!! Writing another story when I have three others that need to be finished. But I loved this one so much, it's been all I've worked on for the past couple of weeks. I'll be updating this one every Wednesday just to prove that this one will be finished. I swear on penalty of death. This will be finished!! The ending is after all, the BEST part.

Chapter 1 – The Bachelorette


"Mom! Look!"

Molly ran into the main room of The Burrow, following the frantic voice of her daughter. "What is it Ginny dear? What's wrong?" To her relief she saw that Ginny had called her to see something on the television set that Hermione had enchanted to work with magic. That girl never ceased to amaze her. She had definitely come a long way after graduating from Hogwarts six years ago. "Oh Ginny, you had me scared silly! I thought something was wrong."

"Look mom!! It's Hermione!"

With that Mrs. Weasley walked to the set to see better and sure enough there was the girl, well woman now, that she considered a second daughter. "What she doing on the telly?"

"Watch."

"So, Miss Granger, how does it feel to be the first witch to appear on the first season of The Bachelorette?"

"To be honest, it's a little surprising. I knew I had been nominated by a friend of mine, I just had no idea I would be chosen."

"Is this friend of yours close?"

"Of course, she's my best female friend."

"So it was her idea to begin with?"

"I'm afraid so. Thanks to Ginny Weasley I will be the first witch to appear on our magical equivalent to the muggle show."

"Have the contestants already been chosen?"

"Yes."

"Do you know any of them personally?"

"I can honestly say I have no idea. I'm being kept in the dark until the show starts."

"Are you nervous?"

"Of course! I know what this show is about and while it wasn't my idea to begin with, I plan to make full use of it. I'm going on this show to potentially find the love of my life. Who wouldn't be nervous about that?"

"So you are hoping to find love?"

"I want a family of my own. I'm secure in my job right now, I have a nice, steady life and I think now would be a great time to add more to it. So yes, I am hoping to find love and start a family. While this show was not my first choice it is definitely a step in the right direction."

"There you have it viewers, the first exclusive interview with Miss Hermione Granger, Mistress of Magic. Stay tuned to find out when the season premiere of The Bachelorette : Season One."

"Can you believe it mom?! Hermione is going to be on The Bachelorette!!"

"What is the show about dear?"

"Basically, Hermione is going to have a choice of 25 men and as each time it airs a couple of men leave. At the end she has to decide who she wants to spend the rest of her life with and when the final two propose she'll have to decide which one to say yes too."

"That is an awful lot of pressure to put on someone. How long will the show last?"

"They'll be done within seven weeks. Everything is pre-aired because it'll have happened earlier than when we see it. The only one that will be live will be the season finale."

"Are you sure Hermione wants this Ginny?"

"She does, trust me mom. This will be good for her."

"If you're sure Ginny dear. Just be there for her ok?"

"I will. I'll be with her every step of the way."

Mrs. Weasley nodded. "As long as you are I won't worry." She turned to walk back into the kitchen. "Make sure to tell me when the first episode is! I wouldn't want to miss it for the world."

Ginny smiled; oh she would definitely make sure her mom watched. The Bachelorette would get every viewer possible. Everyone would watch as Hermione Granger was wooed by 15 men, eventually finding the love of her life.

Standing up, Ginny went to her room where a pile of folders was stacked neatly on her desk. Picking them up she sat on her bed and opened the first one. "Hmmm….Viktor Krum? He might stand a chance." Picking up a piece of parchment and making sure her owl was nearby Ginny wrote out a letter telling Viktor Krum that he had been accepted to be a semi-finalist in the wizarding world's first airing of The Bachelorette.


Hermione sighed as she prepared herself for bed. Sometimes she just didn't know where Ginny got the nerve to try and run her life. But even as she was still slightly angry with the youngest Weasley, she couldn't help but feel a little excited about starring on the show. It was true what she had told the interviewer, she really was looking for love. She just didn't know if she would enjoy finding it with the entire wizarding world watching every step of the way.

She had been given the details of the show and she found herself becoming a little skeptic. How on earth could anyone hope to fall in love in such a short amount of time? Like her Hogwarts days and during the war Hermione had researched everything she could about the show, the success rates of the couples did not look good. Only one muggle couple had actually managed to get married, not good success at all. What inspired these people to continue with the show? Sometimes muggles confused even her.

Biting her lip as she tied her hair up in a bun and after slipping on her nightdress Hermione examined herself in the mirror. She knew she wasn't terribly ugly, but she didn't believe she was all that beautiful either. Would the men who were chosen be disappointed? I mean, sure she was the brightest witch of her generation and her NEWT scores were the highest ever but she knew how intimidated a man could be about dating someone smarter than him. Sighing softly she shook her head and got into bed, "Well, here's to hoping for the best." Waving her wand the lights went out and she fell into a strange dream. She saw herself meeting people…except they were all people she already knew.

Who knew our Hermione was such a Seer?
