Nom De Plumme
Part I
"Attention! Will Miss Granger and Miss Branellec report to Mister Reinford's office!" The lady announced with a magnified voice.
"Well, c'mon Gen! The boss is calling," said a 21-year-old Hermione Granger. She had wavy light brown hair, which was usually twisted into a bun. Her eyes were brown with a hint of gold. Then, there was her best friend and partner, Genevieve Branellec. She had luscious full lips and silky dark blonde hair with brilliant green eyes. They were both beauties working as one of The Daily Prophet's journalists of the mystery section.
They arrived shortly after the announcement.
"Ah, good morning, ladies. As we all know, you girls are the youngest and most reliable journalists at The Daily Prophet. Not to mention, you get the best reviews as well," Mr. Reinford told them. "I wonder Miss Granger and Miss Branellec, do you recall the term 'Death Eaters'?"
"Only that they were once the Dark Lord's followers," Gen told him.
"Yes sir," Hermione said. "We've fought them during the battle almost four years ago."
"Well, good . . ."he hesitated. "I've received information from my sources that a group of Death Eaters have been sighted outside Paris. Sounds like a good investigatory story, doesn't it? I've thought about it and came to a final decision of whom I want to take on that assignment," Mr. Reinford smiled. "Why, the two lovely ladies standing right in front of me!"
Surprised, Hermione said, "Thank you, sir. We'd be delighted to—"
"Well, then it's settled! Here are your train tickets. You'll be travelling the Muggle way, I'm afraid. You'll be going undercover as Muggles, so please keep your magic to a minimum. You'll be leaving tomorrow at 8:45 a.m. and arrive there at about 10:30 or so. You may choose where you would like to stay. That will be all. Good day, ladies." He said as he escorted them out the door.
"Wow! That was quick! I thought he'd blabber on about rubbish like he usually does," Gen laughed as they left the building, "Hermione, you alright?"
"Yes, I'm fine. It's just that . . . I'd have to stay at a hotel for two or three weeks and I just don't know if I could afford that." Hermione sighed.
"Hey, I've got a great idea. My cousin has a summerhouse in Paris. I don't think he'll mind if I bring you there. He's quite a good Auror y'know. It's a bonus for us."
"Really?" Hermione said eagerly. "Oh, but I couldn't do that it would be awfully rude barging into his house like that."
"It's okay! I'm inviting you! Besides he's been dreadfully lonely in that big mansion of his," Gen said assuring Hermione with a smile.
"Fine, fine. If you're that desperate for me to stay with you—"
"Nevermind my offer then. I mean it'll just be you saying 'goodbye' to your dear money." Gen said jokingly.
"Honestly, I'm just kidding!" Hermione said. They both laughed in the warm afternoon breeze as they headed home.
The next day, Hermione met up with Gen at the train station, both dressed up in Muggle clothes. Hermione was wearing a denim jacket with a scarlet shirt and blue jeans. On the other hand, Gen was wearing a tight tank top and low-rise pants. Overall, Gen looked great for someone who had never worn Muggle clothes before.
"You look fabulous, Gen!" complimented Hermione.
"Y'think so? Muggle clothes are very interesting." Gen replied. They boarded the train and found a vacant compartment and sat down.
"So, Gen . . . tell me about your cousin?" Hermione asked, interested.
"Oh, well, he's the heart throb of most of my girlfriends. According to them, he's very good-looking and he's really sweet to me. What can I say? He's a ladies man," Gen said, smiling slyly at Hermione.
"What?" Hermione said.
"Oh, nothing. Just wait 'till you meet him."
A/N: I hope you liked the first chapter. Nothing much but I'd like to thank MJADE-1 for helping me with the first chapter. I was STRUGGLING for my first d/hr story! You should read her stories to! Please read and review. I may be posting second chapter soon!
