Hermione couldn't help but wish that she was back at England with her friends. Namimori is so different from England, for one, the streets were less busy that isn't bad but, the people here speak Japanese and her Japanese wasn't that fluent. Still, she need to find her Uncle and get some answers, but who can she ask?
She glance at the passers, debating whether or not to ask them if they knew someone called Reborn? It wasn't like there were that many people called Reborn, Hermione reasoned, watching as two teenage girls giggle. Still, she couldn't help but feel doubtful of finding her Uncle. For, all she know that man had move to another country.
She leaned against the wall and thought about the recent murder of her parents. How does she tell her only relative that her parents have been murdered? It was still hard for her to believe that their dead. Still, Hermione mused as she watch a couple holding hands, would he even talk to me? For all I know, he doesn't get along with my mother. After all, her own mother won't even talk about her own family, making her wonder if they had a fight before her parents decided that they didn't want anything to do with the Mafia.
She frowned and thought about her mother journals that she had decided to take with her. Even as a child, her own mother wouldn't speak about it, it was almost as if from the very beginning her mother knew that she didn't want that life for herself. Hermione debated on whether to take out the journal from her bag or go to the Middle School that her parents had chosen for her to go to and get the paperwork over and done with.
"Are you alright?" a voice snapped her from her thoughts. She straighten her back and slowly turned to the newcomer. The boy flinch at her gaze, causing her to wonder if she had done something wrong.
"I am fine, thank you for asking," she paused and debated with herself whether to ask the boy where she could find Namimori Middle School. He was a student and she needed to get her paperwork done, anyway. "Actually, would you mind telling me where is Namimori Middle School?"
"S-sure, I-I go to school there."
Hermione grinned at the boy. It was nice to know at least someone in this school and if she couldn't find her Uncle then at least she could try to enjoy herself while she can.
"S-so, w-why are you g-going t-there?" The boy stuttered as they walk through the streets.
The brown haired girl shrugged her shoulders and quietly answered. "Well, I need to get the paperwork done and all that stuff."
He gave her a hesitate look and asked. "W-why a-aren't your parents doing this type of things?"
To tell or not to tell that was the question. Does she tell the boy that her parents are dead or does she simply lie and tell him that her parents were too busy to do it.
"My parents, they are..." she took a deep breath and gave a small smile. "Too busy to do these types of things, so it is all left for me to do."
The boy nodded at her. "What do they do?" he inquired, looking genuinely curious to learn a little bit more about her family.
"They we-are dentist."
That was just too close, Hermione thought, sighing in relief when the boy told her that they had made it to Namimori Middle School. She had almost told him that they were dentist and that would have lead it to more awkward questions.
"Well, I-I go-got to go to class." The boy stammered.
Hermione nodded. "Well, it was nice meeting you..." Her eyes widen when she realise that she hadn't ask the boy, his name.
The boy also seem to realise because he quickly said. "My name is Sawada Tsunayoshi."
The brown haired girl nodded in satisfaction. "Thank you Sawada-san for showing me the way, did I tell you what my name is?"
The doe eyed boy shook his head at her, causing her to frown at her manners. Her mother would be so disappointed in her for not introducing herself to someone.
"My name is Hermione Granger," she frowned and suddenly remembered that Japan that names were reversed. "Or Granger Hermione, I suppose."
Tsuna's eyes widen when he heard the sound of the school bell. He glance at the foreign girl beside him and wonder if the girl was a part of the Mafia as well. As soon as the idea came in mind, he dismiss it, the girl hadn't attack him and Reborn would have told him if someone from the Mafia would come. Also, the girl was completely nice and seem to come from a normal family.
"You are going to be late if you keep standing here, Sawada-san."
He glance at the school clock and panic. If, he keeps standing here he would run into the disciplinary committee and he certainly doesn't want to see the head. He gave one last look to the brown haired girl before dashing to class.
"He is an odd one." Hermione muttered as she watch the boy run to class. The boy was only five minutes late and yet, he is acting like that he is going to die. Now that she thought about it that attitude should be rub on Harry and Ron.
Her eyes suddenly widen as she realise that she had forgot to ask the boy, where was the reception. How could she be so stupid as to forget to ask him where it was? She sighed. She would have to ask someone else, where the reception was. Her eyes scan the area to see if there was someone else to ask.
"You are trespassing in school grounds, Herbivore..." a voice behind her back quietly said. "And for that, I have to bite you to death."
Hermione turned around to see the person that said that. She furrowed her eyebrows when she saw the armband that says 'head prefect.' What does he mean by I will bite you to death? That had to be one of the oddest things for a person to say if you ask her.
The boy had black hair that was slightly messy, steel grey eyes that told her of his anger of her being in school and pale skin. She frowned at the sight of Tonfas and wonder why the head prefect had it, surely weapons weren't allowed in school.
Her question was soon answered.
Before she could even open her mouth to explain, the older boy started to attack her with his weapons. She dodge his attack and quietly made a note to herself to never get into a fight with the man and not to break any rules. That was just too close, Hermione thought as she narrowly dodge one of the boy's tonfas. She didn't like the idea of getting a bruise especially before she even arrives to school.
"Look, I am here to get my paperwork done..." She paused and quickly added, "and I am not Herbivore for god sakes, humans are Omnivores."
By the fact that he was still attacking her made her realise that the boy didn't believe her. She sighed. Why couldn't life be easy? She mused as she blocked one of the boy's tonfas. Hermione straighten her legs and did a roundhouse kick. The boy had only just mange to block her attack with his other Tonfa.
"Listen to me, bastard and listen to me good..." She had never seen someone so impulsive to fight in her whole life, which was saying a lot. "I am here to get my paperwork done, I am transferring here and if you don't believe me then you have to accompany me to the reception to see me get my paperwork."
The boy stopped attacking when he heard her words. "And, how do I know that you aren't lying Herbivore?"
Hermione put her hands on her hips, trying her best to calm down and explain to the older boy but, she found the effort to be futile.
"If I was lying then why the hell would I say, you can come with me to the reception for proof!" Hermione yelled.
The boy glared at her. Normally, that should scare anyone but not her. She was not scared of the boy or her name was not Hermione Jean Granger! He nodded at her and gestured at her to take him to the reception for the proof.
"U-um, you wouldn't know where it is, would you?" Hermione hesitantly asked.
She could have sworn that the boy's lips was twitching but that must have been her imagination after all that boy didn't seem like the kind of person that laughs. Still, she wonders what it will be like to hear the older boy laugh? I will be surprise, Hermione mused, trying to imagine the boy smiling.
The silence between the two of them was tense. Hermione knew if that she doesn't give proof that she was transferring here, the older teen would definitely continue trying to beat her up and she didn't know if she had the energy to continue fighting.
"Herbivore, how did you know when I was about to attack?" The head prefect asked, breaking the silence between them.
She arched her eyebrows at the older teen and quickly retorted. "I got a name, you know and it isn't Herbivore."
The boy didn't say anything instead he arched his eyebrows at her, waiting for the answer to his question.
"Anyways, why should I tell you?" She smirked at the older teen and continued. "After all, I am just a Herbivore, aren't I? And being a Herbivore, wouldn't I need to keep my defence against a carnivore a secret for as long as I can?"
Hermione grinned when she saw that she was irking the boy. Serves him right too, he attack her for no good reason. What was the boy thinking? Did he really think that she would really tell him, how she figure out his attack pattern. Also, who told the boy to wear a cloak? It was by observing that she knew that his cloak would be able to tell her, what his next attacks were.
"H-Hibari-sama, w-why are y-you here?" The receptionist stammered when she saw the head prefect. What did she do to get a visit from the man? She followed all the younger boy's rules so, why was he here?
Hibari pointed to the brown haired girl beside him and said. "The Herbivore here, claims that she has some paperwork to do."
The receptionist turned her attention to the petit girl beside him. Her eyebrows furrowed when she saw that the young girl had no wounds from fighting with Hibari. The head prefect almost always fight with anyone that breaks the rules.
"My paperwork?" The brown eyed girl asked, raising her eyebrows at the receptionist.
The receptionist blushed before frowning at the girl's words. She tried to recall if anyone had called earlier about paperwork. She had so many people calling the school and it is hard for her to keep track on the phone calls.
The young girl must have realise too, because she gave her a annoyed look and said, "I am Hermione Granger, the new transfer from England."
Hermione watch in annoyance when she saw that the woman eyes flashed in recognition at her words. The moment she said that she was a transfer in England, the woman remembers! She knew that the receptionist must have a lot of calls but, damn it, the lady should put it all in a diary for her to remember.
"I will be back in a minute to get your paperwork, Granger-san." The receptionist said, giving a apologetic look to the young girl.
Hermione waited until the lady was gone before turning her attention to the head prefect. "Now do you believe me?"
"Hn,"
The brown haired girl calm herself down and reminded herself that it was not a good idea for her to get into a fight even if the older boy deserve it. The older boy started to walk away to Hermione's pleasure. She couldn't stand the older boy's behaviour, she didn't care if he was a good fighter but he should have known better than to attack her- for all the boy knew, she might have been blind and he would still attack her.
"Herbivore, if I find that you are late tomorrow, I will bite you to death." Hibari threatened her.
The young witch gave him a curt nod and said. "For you to do that, you have to actually have to catch me, now won't you?"
Hermione couldn't tell what was the boy's reaction since she was facing his back but, she had a feeling that amused him.
Living here might be interesting, Hermione thought as she took the paperwork from the receptionist.
The young witch didn't know how right she was.
