A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes

Chapter 2: Wish Upon A Star

Hermione POV

Within a matter of weeks the stepmother I now had, had managed to brainwash my Dad into making him believe that I didn't have feelings and/or needs. Because ever since I arrived here he seemed to forget that I had any of them.

It was coming close to the time I started school again and was completely surprised when brand new school supplies that Charlotte picked out herself. None of the stuff she got me even fitted my style but beggars can't be choosers.

On the first day of school I made it a point to just see if I could get through a day without actually having to make eye contact with anyone. The fortunate part about any of it was that I was at Westfield High School yet the evil twins were still in Middle School. I didn't have to deal with my so-called family here.

I had left all my old friends behind by moving out here and guess who doesn't keep their friends when they move out of the time zone? I do.

I guess I didn't plan on making any friends on the first day of school so when I did it caught me off guard.

I was walking to my locker after my 3rd period with everything going normal. That was until he ran into me. This guy with jet-black hair knocked into me and made me fall to the ground with him right down there next to me.

"Ron you stupid git!" the guy yelled at his laughing friend that happened to have shockingly bright red hair.

The guy stood up quickly and looked down at me and reached his hand down to me. "Are you okay?" He immediately asked.

I looked up at his bright green eyes, just wanting to get the hell out of there. "I guess so." I replied grabbing his hand as he helped me up. I brushed my pants to get rid of any excess dust that stuck to my jeans.

"I'm really sorry about that. My friend here as a knack for doing stupid things at stupid times." He said.

"That's okay." I responded back.

"Sorry, um, my name's Harry by the way and this is my friend Ron." Harry extended his hand a second time.

"Hi, I'm Hermione, Hermione Granger." I smiled shaking his hand with mine.

"I'm a bit new to the school but Ron and I have been friends for a long time." Harry replied.

"Same here." I admitted.

"Listen, I know you probably have plans but you wanna hang out at lunch?" Harry asked.

I thought to myself for a minute. At least I could have a great escape out of the house if I have a friend or two. "Sure, where do you guys hang out?" I asked.

"By the art room. There's this bench outside the school from there where Ron and I hang out." Harry called as he hurried to his next class. I left him with a smile, as did he.

Third and fourth period seemed to drag by with the prosperous notion of actually making friends on my first day of school. However fourth period turned out to be much better to my liking. This was only due to the fact that Harry was in my class! Imagine a friend that actually shared a class with me! The class happened to be History and fortunately Harry and I sat next to each other in the back where we made the notion of passing notes back and forth as the teacher dragged on about what we would be discussing this year.

So where did you come from?

I thought about spilling my entire pass to Harry but we must only take these things one at a time.

Seattle, Washington in America. What about you?

Really? That's pretty cool. Actually I just transferred from a boarding school to a private school.

Awesome. Where was your boarding school?


I'm not really sure; I think it was in Scotland somewhere.

How could you go to boarding school and not know where it is?

Well, no one really ever told me. And plus we traveled by a private train so it's not like I could easily know anyways.

Sounds like one rich school

It was really nice.

So why are you in Private School, do your parents want you to be closer to home now?

Actually my parents died when I was barely a year old. I live with Ron and his family. But Ron was switching out to boarding school this year and I didn't want to really go back without a friend anyways.

I instantly felt bad when I read what he sent me back. I didn't want my first friendship in this new school to begin off on a horrible foot.

I'm sorry. I guess I know how you feel. My mother died when I was almost four years old, my Dad got remarried to this woman who hates me and she's brainwashed my Dad so it's like I don't even have a Dad anymore anyways.

That sucks.

It felt weird confiding in a guy I had barely met, yet at the same time I felt relieved that I had someone who could relate to me at the same time. I immediately found myself starting to care about this Harry guy. He was soo full of mystery yet to me it seemed as though I had known him my whole live.

The bell rang and Harry and I exited the class together, side by side.

"I need to go to my locker real quick, then I'll meet up with you and Ron." I told Harry before I hurried off in the direction of my locker.

Maybe this new place wasn't all that bad after all.

I love all my new reviewers! You guys rock so much! I mean it's not as much as I hoped for but at least it's a start.
