AN-Got this idea in my head, had to get it out. Tell me what you think.

Disclaimer-I do not own Harry Potter

Chapter 1

"I'm such a huge fan of you're books. It's an honor to meet you," gushed a girl of about seventeen. Harry smiled and thanked the eager teen, handing back her book. He looked at the line, relieved

"Hello, haven't been waiting too long have you?" he joked as he took the woman's book. He had been signing books for four hours. The woman in front of him shook her head. Harry took a moment to study the woman. Her brown, curly hair fell just past her shoulders and had these deep brown eyes. She wasn't very tall and had this confident air about her. In fact, she almost reminded him of…no, it couldn't be. "Who am I making this out to?"

"Hermione Granger." Harry's head snapped up. He hadn't spoken to her, or anyone else in the wizarding world for that matter, in nearly ten years. She was just as gorgeous as he remembered. "I just love your books, they remind me of my friends and I while we were in school."

"Hermione?" Harry questioned. She asked if he wanted her to spell it for him and he shook his head. He scrawled a quick message in the book and passed it back to her, looking her dead in the eyes. "Hermione, it's me, Harry."

"Harry? That's not possible. You don't look anything like him." Hermione said, taken aback. She stared down at him in confusion.

"Surely you remember the guy who saved you from the mountain troll." Harry said. Hermione's mouth dropped open.

"Harry, is that really you?" Hermione asked, her voice unsteady. Harry nodded slowly.

"It's me. I'm done here. Do you maybe want to go back to my hotel room and talk?" Hermione agreed and waited as Harry packed up his things and thanked the book store manager.

"How have you been," Harry asked, taking her coat from her as she looked around the extravagant hotel room. It was a bit much for his taste, but his agent was the one who booked the hotel.

"I don't hear from you in ten years and you want to make small talk?" Hermione nearly cried in exasperation. "Where have you been? Why did you disappear like that?"

Harry sighed and sat down on the couch, patting the seat next to him.

After the battle, he felt so restless and usless. He hadn't any idea what to do with his life, he never expected to survive. So he packed all his belongings and headed to Heathrow Airport, flying to the first country that he could think of, America. After living there for a year, he began writing a series of books based off his life and everything that happened with Voldemort and had them published. Now, he was the best selling author of The Boy Who Lived, under the pen name Orion Evans. He used a glamour charm every time he had an event to go to, changing his dark hair blond, his eyes to blue and hiding his scar. He was in England for the week on tour for the release of his latest and final book. It had taken everything Harry had not to go see Ron and Hermione. He knew they would be angry at him for leaving.

"So for the last ten years, Harry Potter has been off the radar." Harry summed up.

"But I don't get it. Why did you leave? You just left with out one word, you didn't even say goodbye. Do you have any idea how much that hurt?" Hermione asked, her voice breaking as she fought back anger and tears. Harry hung his head in shame, refusing to meet her eyes.

"I just had to get away from it all. Once Voldemort was gone, I needed to find a new purpose in my life. The only reason I was alive was to fight him. I needed a new reason to live. I never meant to hurt you."

Hermione didn't know what to say. Distractedly, she fidgeted with her watch, noticing the time. Somewhat glad for an excuse to leave the awkwardness, she grabbed her coat and purse. "I'm sorry, but I have somewhere to be. I need to go."

Harry didn't get a chance to get a word in edge wise before she turned on her heel and dissaprated with a soft pop.

AN-So basically, this is a rough draft. I wanted to get people's take on the story. I'm going to wait to hear what people think before I go back and revise the chapter. Please review and give any comments you have; good comments or some constructive criticism.
