Hello again~ I'd like to thank my first reviewer, candinaru25, for well, reviewing! So e-yup, first chapter. I'd really like to know which form of magic you'd like Hermione and Harry to specialize in. I'm open to all options. Also, options for pairings would be nice! Oh and I don't own any recognizable content.
Harry fell hard, the air left his lungs with a whoosh. He sat still trying to regain his breath only to have his progress put back by something falling on him.
"Harry!" Was that Hermione? He opened one eye to find Hermione's familiar brown eyes staring down at him.
"Hermione, where are we?" Harry wondered as if she knew the answer only because Hermione knew everything. She frowned.
"I don't know." Hermione said still frowning and her eyebrows furrowed.
"Can you get off me?" Harry asked uncomfortably.
"Oh! I'm sorry Harry!" She said slightly flustered and went to sit in front of him. Harry took a good look around, it seemed they had fallen into the middle of a very colorful forest. A strange bird chirped at them and then flew off. There were other strange animals making noises and looking at the newcomers who had fallen out of the sky. All Harry and Hermione could hear were the sounds of nature albeit slightly different from the noises they were accustomed to.
"We're not at Hogwarts anymore, are we?" Harry mumbled and stood up, dusting of his school uniform. "Might as well find out where we are, Hermione." She nodded numbly and followed Harry who had no clue as to where to go.
They walked for maybe hours without much conversation. It was just settle in, they weren't at Hogwarts and they most certainly weren't on earth.
"Hey Hermione," Harry started, Hermione looked at him indicated he should continue, "Do you think we can still use magic?" He asked pulling his wand out of his sleeve.
"I-I don't know." She said pulling her own wand out of her skirt pocket. "Lumos." She said waving her wand. The tip of her wand glowed softly in the darkening forest.
"Good." Harry said and bit his lip. "We should try to get out of here soon." It's getting dark and who knows what might be in these woods." Harry said thinking of the Forbidden Forest back at Hogwarts and started walking a bit faster.
Harry didn't know if they'd be able to get back to Hogwarts but he hoped so. He had to feed Hedwig and there was the still ever present threat of Voldemort's return. He really wish he didn't have to worry about that. For just second Harry thought that even if he didn't know where he was and only had one friend with him, that it would be better here than almost getting killed every year.
Hermione stopped walking. They'd made it to the forests edge, there was a town. It was thriving with night life. People were lined up outside what looked like a club. Harry and Hermione cautiously made their way out into the open. People gave them funny looks for their clothes, they seemed odd amongst the other peoples way of dressing. It wasn't too different but still different enough to be given odd looks.
"Hermione look! A magic shop!" Harry exclaimed kind of excitedly. This world had magic too! "Let's go. We can find out about their magic." Hermione's habits had started to rub off on Harry. He too now had an insatiable thirst for knowledge.
They quickly made their way over to the shop called "Miki's Magic Shop" with a little cat on the sign.
They walked in and a bell above the door jingled.
"Hello! Welcome, how may I help you?" A girl who looked no older than 16 asked with a smile. She had a shock of short bright red hair and dark blue eyes.
"Ah, um. Yes, we'd like to find some books on magic, please?" Hermione asked.
"Oh! Sure, right this way, ma'am." The girl led them towards the back where there were loads of books. "We have quite a variety. We have books on key magic, make magic, re-quip, paper magic, word magic..."
"Th-thank you." Hermione said a little overwhelmed by all the different types of magic. Hermione picked up book after book, eyes lighting up at all the different titles.
"Harry... how are we going to learn about these magics if we can't pay for the books!" Hermione asked and worried her bottom lip with her teeth.
"Er..." Harry check his pockets and pulled out what was there. "I have 3 galleons, but I don't think they use galleons..." Hermione was at the point of ripping out her fluffy hair.
Harry took two looks at the cashier, bit his lip and then giggled nervously. "We could take them and run." Harry suggested and ran a hand through his already too messy hair. Hermione's eyes widened. Books were still books even if you stole them, but stealing was bad... The books though, Hermione liked books, she liked learning. If the only way to learn was to steal. Then, just for today stealing was okay. Hermione nodded.
"Okay, quickly, Harry." Hermione started grabbing whatever Harry wasn't holding. "You are such a bad influence." She muttered.
"On the count of three we run out. Okay," Harry said breaking out into a sweat. "One... two..."
"Three." Hermione finished and they bolted out. The cashier barely had time to register they were gone before they were in the woods, the adrenaline making them run faster than ever before.
"We're horrible people,Harry"Hermione moaned as they made their way deep into the woods. "I stole, I stole... but I stole books. There's information in those books..." She muttered crazily. Harry stood off to the side and decided to start reading. Hermione still was talking to herself about the books and how she was a bad person. Harry decided to leave her alone for the night, he wasn't too sure on what book he should start with...
All I ask is for a review and if there are any grammar or spelling issues please tell me, I don't have a beta and I don't plan on getting one.
Thank you and remember pairings and magics~
