A.N. Since I got one review on paring Hermione with Paul and no other comment on paring, so I'm going to go with that pairing. I might make another story choice, but I want to focus of some Naruto stories after I'm done with this.

1991 September

"Rosalie! You got mail!" Alice called out as she opened the window and patiently waited along with Edward.

"It's three A.M. in the morning, my letter won't be in yet." Rosalie complain, but smile the whole time as she snuggle into Emmett.

She, along with everyone sans Alice and Edward, was surprised to see an owl fly in with a letter attach to it's leg. The owl wisely approached the couple slowly as it looked at all the vampires in the room. It finally got to the couple and flew back to the safety of the window and waited.

"Oh my, that is certainly old fashioned style to write a letter. Brings me back to the days it was still in use." Carlisle said points at the letter with wax seal and nice calligraphy address his son and daughter.

Rosalie gently opened it and read it with Emmett. The others thoughtfully not reading from behind them.

Dear Mama and Papa,

School is going amazing. It's a castle, a ginormous wonderful castle. I wanted to carve it for you, Mum and Dad, but it's so large I don't think I can. I managed to make a friend, his name is Neville Longbottom. He's shy, doesn't have a lot of self esteem, and gets into a lot of accidents, but he's a really good guy. We've been sticking together a lot and he's been teaching me about the magical culture and I'm teaching him about muggle culture.

I have four roommates, and we seem to get along well. They may not be as studious as me, but we can a common ground of self care and sometimes fashion, and it's really nice having girls my age to connect with. I'm happy that you and Mum showed me the importance of self care early on because I am sure that I would have nothing to connect with my roommates. And best thing, they don't mind Crooks.

The classes are fantastic, and I'm understanding everything and know all the answers. Potion is a bit of trouble with the Professor being a complete ares, but I'm just rubbing it in his face by passing the class. I'm also staying on top of my regular studies, so I'm not behind.

There's also the library. It's like I've died and gone to heaven. It's the largest library I've ever been too. I'm pretty sure I was acting like that time Papa gave me taffy for the first time. Hyper and bouncing around.

I'm attempting to practice boxing, but it's really weird to do it in front of my roommates, and I'm afraid Neville might faint if I punch in his direction. I wish I could practice with Papa or you, Mama, like we used to. I really do miss you both.

There was also broom flying classes. You now I'm afraid of heights, but being on Papa's shoulders at time did help with me flying seven feet off the ground. Neville unfortunately got a malfunctioning broom. I try to catch him, but ended up being his cushion. We're both okay though, nothing broken.

I also kind of made friends with the school's groundskeeper. I thought Papa was huge before, but this man is at least ten feets tall. I don't think Papa could even tackle him down if he try. He did struggle to open a jam jar once.

Anyways, I told the owl to wait for a reply. Please feed it some water and something to snack on, and also let it rest for a while. I'm sure the trip to Russia was exhausting. Love you with all my heat.

Your Loving Child,

Hermione

Rosalie got the bowl of water and bread ready to feed it to the owl. It cautiously approached the food.

"So tell me how my niece is doing." Alice demanded as she watched the owl wantingly. She wanted to pet the owl so badly.

"She's doing fine, finally got a friend and seeming to get along with her roommates. She loves the library there. There's only one professor she seems to have a problem with, but she doing good in the class. And her school is actually in a castle."

Rosalie and Emmett haven't told the others about Hermione being a witch, but she was sure they could connect the dots. They don't deal a lot with witches and wizards, but know of them as they know of vampires. Some vampires decided to stay close to the magical world and other avoid it. Carlisle worked quite a bit with them when he was with the Volturi.

"Do you think the owl could deliver our present?" Emmett ask.

"Yes." both Alice and Edward said.

The two knew it would not make it to Hermione for her birthday, but it would still get to her. The next night they sent the owl with their letter and present.

31 October 1991

Hermione was crying in the girl's bathroom stall. She felt pathetic, she shouldn't of let Ronald Weasley's words get to her so much. She did have a friend, and Weasley was just jealous that she was doing better than him in class. She was genuinely trying to be nice and help him out, but he just called her a bloody nightmare.

"Hermione, is that you?" the voice belonged to Parvati Patil, her roommate.

Hermione opened the door, and looked at her roommate with puffy bloodshot eyes, proof that she was crying for a long time.

"Parvati, do you think I'm a bloody nightmare?" her voice cracked.

The Indian girl put an arm around her. "Of course not, I think you a wonderful person, granted a bit weird when you punch the air, but a wonderful person. You've helped all the girls with our homework, and I see you always helping out Longbottom too."

"Thanks." she hid her face.

"Here, why don't you wash your face and we walk up to the dorms. The feast is about to start in an hour."

They did just that, with Parvati blocking her from other's view. In the girl's dorm, Lavender Brown, Lily Moon, and Sally-Anne Perk were all talking. Noticing Parvati and Hermione walk in, they all saw her puffy eyes. They all ask what happened and Hermione spilled. It was nice being reassured by others that she was not a bloody nightmare.

It was time for the feast and Hermione did not go down, and that just made her mad. She was missing the Halloween feast because of bloody Ronald Weasley. She got to doing her homework, both magical and muggle, while she snack on the salted taffy from Russia that her Papa had given her.

By the time she was done, her roommates came back. Looking at the watch her Mama gave her, she noticed only half an hour past.

"Why are you girls here early, I thought you would be enjoying the festival for another hour and a half."

"That was the plan, but a mountain troll managed to get in." Sally-Anne said shaking.

"Impossible. A mountain troll can't simply come into the castle. The castle is highly protected, and should not let any dangerous magical creatures in, unless it was given access to by a staff member, and I'm positive that Hagrid wouldn't let it in."

"Are you saying a teacher let it in?!" Lavender screamed, making older girls come into the room to check what was wrong.

"Positive. Every staff member should have the key to the ward if needing to allow someone to visit. So the troll can't simply walk in the castle and wonder around, it needs to be let in by someone. It's in Hogwarts: A History, let me show you." she pulled out her book from her trunk, found the section, and passed it to Lily.

Everyone was on huddled around Lily as she read the passage. Murmurs were passed around as they try to figure out which teacher did it. All she heard come up repeatedly was Professor Snape and Professor Quirrell. Everyone soon left and Hermione was left alone. She decided to carve her started project of Hogwarts.

December 1991

Merry Christmas Mama and Papa,

I managed to make Hogwarts just in time for Christmas. The wood is actually from the forbidden forest. Hagrid, the groundskeeper, was sweet enough to get it for me.

Everything is going great at school. I made some more acquaintances. Dean Thomas, Hannah Abbott, Terry Boot, Justin Finch-Fletchley, and Anthony Goldstein, are all like me, muggle-borns: wizards or witches with no magical parents. I also meet up with a Marcus Flint, he's a fifth year and he's not very smart, but he's trying really hard to raise his grades on his own, so I decided to help him. After that I also had a run in with Blaise Zabini and Theodore Nott. All three of them are from the rival house, so we don't openly meet.

I finally decided to try and practice with Neville in boxing. It took him a while to understand the concept that boxing is a competitive form of fighting that was used to entertain others. He said that he didn't understand how something like that could exist. I told him that I couldn't understand how Quidditch could exist.

I think Dad wants to put me in a mock tournament being held at the gym we go to. There's a section for twelve to forteen, and thought I might want to give it a shot, and I kind of do. I blame Papa, he made the competitive side of me come out. Still love him though. I wish you both would be there, but I don't think you would like to see me all sweaty, sore, and a bit bloody, Mama.

I miss you so much, and wish we could spend Christmas together. Love you.

Your Loving Child,

Hermione

Rosalie and Emmett read on Christmas morning, as that had waited to open both letter and present this day. Emmett then proceed to open their present. He gave out a low whistle sound.

"You know, when I was teaching Mimi wood carving, I never imagined that it would progress into something like this." he said holding out the wooden castle for all to see.

It was indeed very detailed again, even if she said that she had to cut some things out. They were very impressed by the castle, Esme especially with the architect in her coming out. On the bottom was written From Your Loving Child, Hermione.

Rosalie decided that she didn't always need materialistic things. If it was handmade from her daughter, she would automatically love it.

"Hey look, we got another thing too." he handed his wife a palm sized pentagon box. "Chocolate Frog? Okay, I got to open this."

Emmett opened it and a frog was moving in the box, then it jumped, but he easily caught it.

"Ew, get that thing away from me!" Alice screamed as she jumped away to the other side of the room.

Emmett grinned menacingly at Alice as he slowly took a bite out of it. The frog stopped moving after that. The pixi like vampire was disguised by the sight. He then put the rest in his mouth.

"It's not that bad." he coyly smiled at his sister.

"Good, cause I don't want mine. I don't care if it came from Mimi, nothing will ever make me eat something in the shape of a frog that can also move like one."

"I'll take it." Jasper, Edward, and Carlisle said at the same times.

"Boys." she said in a of-course tone and threw it.

"Oh look, there's a card in there. Must be collectables or something. I got one Nicholas Flamel."

February 1992

Harry was looking for some answers on who Nicholas Flamel was when he came upon the sight of Hermione Granger helping out Marcus Flint with that appears to be homework. The Slytherin quidditch captain looked at his with a glare that froze him. His fellow Gryffindor turned to see him, and she told the Slytherin something.

Hermione walked over the Harry Potter with a frown. "Is there something you need Potter?"

Harry Potter was best friends with Ron Weasley, who still has not apologized to her, and had also laughed at her when Ron called her a friendless bloody nightmare. He knew this too, and grew awkward with Hermione as she just started him down.

"Why are you helping a Slytherin?"

Hermione glared at him. "Slytherin or not, he is a student that needs help, and I was willing to help. And I'm apparently friendless, this is the best way I know in how to make friends."

Harry flinch, "I didn't mean it like that," he said meekly.

"I'm still waiting for an apology on that." she watched as he fidgeted uncomfortably. "Anyways, I don't have time for you, I'm helping someone, so what do you want?"

"I was just looking for anything on Nicholas Flamel," he said quickly.

"Well your in the wrong direction." she turned to the Slytherin, "Flint, I'll be back, try to do the rest and I'll correct when I come back." and she walked away with Potter close behind.

"So how did you know about Nicholas Flamel?" he pathetically try to start a conversation.

"If you know the history of chemistry, he's mentioned along with Robert Boyle as the beginning of chemistry using alchemy before Antoine Lavoisier made chemistry an established science back in the 18th-century."

"Is Robert Boyle a wizard?"

"No, he was a squib, so his alchemy was different from Flamel's, who incorporates magic in his alchemy. Because of this reason Flamel isn't considered much thought when explaining the history of chemistry, and at times is only mentioned when they bring up the philosopher's stone. However, in the magical world he is a legend for his achievements in alchemy."

Harry just watched in awe at Hermione. She just basically answered his question that he has spent months looking for. She gave him a thick book, ask him not to tell anyone what he saw, and left. He managed to squeeze an apology before she left. He would try to make a better apology later, maybe a letter will do.

Hermione returned to Flint and she looked over his work.

"Who knew you found joy in making others wiggle like a worm Granger?" he teased with a crooked teeth grin.

"I'm still bitter about not receiving an apology from Weasley and Potter yet. I tend to hold grudges at times. I mean I was crying on Halloween feast and didn't go because of them. And what if I have stayed in the restroom and cry the whole night unaware, I could of been killed." she was getting the angrier by the second as she talked about the situation.

"I know what you mean, the whole Slytherin were walking down to our common room when we smelled it, so we had to quietly go back to the Great Hall, but half of the group freaked out and ran screaming to the Great Hall and almost closing it on the rest. That really drew its attention on us. Luckily the professors came in time."

March 1992

Dear Mama and Papa,

I think that I gained a new friend, I would like to hope so. His name is Harry Potter, and he's kind of a celebrity in the magical world, but he acts nothing like a celebrity. We get along well enough, but it's his other friend that I don't like, Ronald Weasley. He's such a rude kid, has no manners, a bottomless pit for food, and can't even close his mouth when he eats. Trust me, you would be disgusted by him Mama.

On a good note, Neville has been getting better at practicing boxing with me, and I've made more acquaintances, but they mostly ask me for help.

I have to ask a weird question Mama, but does your brother-in-law have family here in the UK because there's this guy in Hufflepuff name Cedric Diggory and I swear they could be twins if Cedric was the same age as Edward. I ask Cedric about it and he said that a part of his family was one of the first to settle to the colonies and help set up the United States magical government, but his family has lost connection with that family ages ago. I thought it was pretty interesting. I got to know Cedric, and decided that Edward and Cedric have major personality differences. Cedric is easily open, charismatic, and has a go-lucky attitude. Edward was closed, forwarly polite, and has a woe-is-me attitude from what I can recall. However, I see both of them have a flare for dramatics.

Emmett fell on the floor laughing with his wife laughing with him. They were in their room and his wife decided to read out loud for all in the household to hear. After she was done reading, they could hear the rest laughing. They calmed down and read the rest of the letter.

I also happen to find the kitchen by accident, and found that it was run by these creatures call house elves. I talked with them and found that they are basically slave, working without pay and getting no break. They try to explain that it is their life to work because they are taking magic from their masters to live, and that it is a fair trade. They are the reason how the story of Santa Claus and his elves was form. It all really still boggles my mind, but I'm trying to understand their culture.

I'm going to be busy lately with finals being seven weeks away. I need to start studying now before I lose time, especially with Defence Against the Dark Arts. I love you both.

Your Loving Child,

Hermione

Summer would start in a couple of days and Hermione still didn't know what to think of what she did. She was practicing boxing in the common room with Neville late at night when Harry and Ron came down to sneak out saying the philosopher's stone was in the castle, and that Professor Snape was trying to steal it.

She straight out told them that it was a trap, but they didn't listen. She told them that there was likely more than one obstacle then the three headed dog. She then decided to go for Harry's sake, and ask Neville to go get a teacher in an hour and tell them them where they are.

The whole night was terrible, but she did feel closer to Harry and Ron, no matter how much they dislike each other. She then thought of telling her parents. Her mum and dad would most likely want to take her out, but she wanted to stay at Hogwarts, she loved it here. She then thought of telling her Mama and Papa, she to went against it, so she just talked about it with Neville.

Summer came and Hermione exchanged addresses with her new friends Harry, Sally-Anne, Lily, Dean, Hannah, Terry, Justin, and Anthony. However, it would be difficult for her to write to her more magical friends such as Neville, Marcus Flint, Blaise Zabini, Susan Bones, Lavender, the Patil twins, and Cedric. Theodore Nott said that it would be unwise for them to write to each other if his father knew since he is a big racist with muggle-borns.

She was now writing letters and sending them out through the post office. It made her wish she got an owl, but she loves Crookshank too much to regret it. That summer she was practicing for the mock tournament, doing her independent studies, writing letters to friends, and enjoying time with her family.

She invited her friends to her mock tournament and her place afterwards for a barbecue and movie. Sally-Anne, Lily, Dean, Hannah, Terry, Justin, and Anthony agree to go. Neville, Marcus, Blaise, Susan, Lavender, the Patil twins, and Cedric wanted to go, but didn't really know how. Susan said that her Aunt could guide them through a portkey to both the gym and her home.

The only one she was unsure of was Harry. He had not responded to any of her letters, so she went to the next level: call him.

"Hello?" came a man's gruff voice.

"Hello, this is the Dursley's residence correct?" she said in a steady voice.

"Correct, and who am I speaking to?"

"Hermione Granger, sir."

"And what is it that you need Miss Granger?"

Harry, who was doing the dishes, froze. Hermione was actually calling him.

"I was wondering if Harry could come to a sports event with me. I sent him an invitation a week ago through the mail, but I haven't received a response. It's on July 29, and it's a whole day event."

"The 29," he gave a thought look, "I have business coming over that day, do you think you can also take him for the night?"

Harry froze again. He never slept at a friend's house, but he bet it was fun.

"Let my Father make the decision. Please hold."

Vernon Dursley covered the speaker, "Petunia, we might be able to get rid of your nephew for that business dinner."

"Dr. Granger speaking."

"Ah, Dr. Granger, your daughter called about investing Harry to a sporting event and that it's an all day thing. However, I have an important business dinner to attend to, so I offer that he spend the night. Is this possible?"

At times, it was hard to believe that this man could sound so proper at moments like these for Harry. Daniel, seeing his little girl's eyes, agreed.

The day of the tournament, Hermione was ecstatic. This was going to be the first time she actually had friends over. Jean and Daniel Granger's knew this too, and wanted to see their daughter, who's been outcasted almost her whole life, finally be with friends. They had a camera ready, and would send some copies the the Cullen couple.

They picked up Harry, and headed to the gym. Several people were there support friends and family. Hermione first saw Sally-Anne, Dean, Justin, and Anthony with their parents, and she warmly greeted them. She then got changed and saw Lily, Hannah, and Terry with their parents.

Five minutes later, Hermione saw Neville with his Gran, and Susan with her Aunt. Marcus, Blaise, Susan, Lavender, the Patil twins, and Cedric didn't have their parents with them, but could easily get the house elves to return home. They were kind of eye catching with their clothing, but as long as they weren't noticeably magical it was fine.

The doors opened and everyone piled in. Everyone was talking, and getting along. The muggle parents were all talking to each other about their experiences with their children when they were still accidental magic, and all had an look of understanding as they talked.

Hermione's name was called up and she walk. Since there weren't enough girls it was co-ed fights. Most of her opponents were kids she seen practicing with their parents at the gym, however others were some she never seen before and were either just doing for fun or to gain experience. She like to say she's good, better than most, but some of these kids have been training longer than her.

She won three fights, but there was still four more round to go. She then won three more rounds, but lost after that. She got fourth place, and she was happy with that.

"Glad I didn't come here just to see you get all beat up Granger. You did pretty good." Flint smiled and nodded at her.

She was sure that her parents were just cringing at the sight of his teeth, so she just smile back at him and gave him a side hug.

"You know, when you invited me to see your fight Hermione, I kind of thought it was a joke. Who would have thought that the "insufferable-know-it-all" would know how to fight." Blaise air quoted mimicking Professor Snape's voice making everyone laugh.

"Oh Merlin, I would pay good money just to see the Professor's see their star pupil fight like this. Could you imagine Professor McGonagall's reaction, better yet Snape's." Cedric managed to say between laughs making everyone almost have tears in their eyes.

"Okay children, let's head out to eat." Jean usher.

It was agreed that all the magical folks, Daniel, Sally-Anne's dad, and Justin's dad portkey to the house. The dad's got to barbecuing, and the kids, with Susan's aunt and Neville's Gran, where set up in the library were it was big enough so everyone can fit and watch the movie comfortably. After a while, it was decided that Home Alone would be played. It was interesting watching the purebloods reactions throughout the move, but it was enjoyable.

Halfway through the movie, the rest came and enjoyed the movie. By the end, food was ready and Hermione took the chance to enjoy a soda, something she rarely does with her parents being dentist. This was another thing purebloods don't have.

"So have you guys gotten your school supply list yet?" Hermione ask.

"Have you seen the list of books we need for Defence? And all of the titles are on how to defeat one kind of creature. It's ridiculous." Terry said.

"Wait, are all of your books from Gilderoy Lockhart?" Cedric ask.

"Yes." everyone answered.

They all looked at the each other, but mostly Cedric, who was a fourth year, and Flint, who was a sixths year.

"Madam Longbottom, Madam Bones, why would a second, fourth, and sixth year all have the same books? I thought each year would have different books that meant their required curriculum."

"That is correct." Augusta Longbottom said suspiciously, "What is Albus thinking of letting a careless man make all his students buy the exact same books for all years?"

"Oh please let this be a competent Professor, I don't have time to learn it by myself." Hermione whine.

"How do you think I feel? Next year with be my NEWT level exams, I need to learn as much as possible." he looked at Hermione for help since she was the reason he managed to pass his OWL.

Hermione thought of a time when Rosalie and Emmett argued about teachers just trying to promote their own books. "I think the author is our Defence Professor and is just promoting his books, but never use them in class. Professors in universities do it all the time." she saw most parents agree, and then turn to Flint. "Ask an employee at the store what book they would recommend for sixth year Defence. I think I just might skip getting his books all together and get the appropriate book or books for my year."

"You're going to help me right?" Neville ask.

"Of course, I'll help all of you. That's what friends do," she said to everyone.

"Gross, this is getting too sentimental for my cold Slytherin heart," Flint said breaking the sweet moment.

"And that's what you get for being friends with this Gryffindor, so toughen it out."

"Now, now, Granger, we both know you have some Slytherin in you. Right Zabini?" both boys nodded.

"No, she's a Ravenclaw more than a Slytherin or Gryffindor," Padama said with her fellow Ravenclaws agreeing.

"You know, I kind of want to say she a Hufflepuff too. She could of ditched me after meeting me on the train," Neville stated.

"Oh, she's a Puff alright," Cedric stated.

"No, I say she's a Gryffindor for sure." Lavender stated with her fellow Gryffindor agreeing. "She's the only one who bravely decides to make friends out of the norm. I mean, believe me when I say that I did not believe that you were her friend even when she told us in the letter that you or Zabini were coming. It still did not believe when you arrived."

"Yes, well in Slytherin everything is about politics. We can't just openly be friends with Hermione for reasons we all know. The backlash isn't worth it especially if it affects our parents reputation. Zabini doesn't really have any worries, my father doesn't even know I'm here exactly, and the other snake refused to have contact with her outside of their arranged time, but his backlash would probably be worse than us so it understandable. Brown, don't you have an older cousin in Slytherin that only sees you privately."

Lavender froze, she hasn't told anyone about her older cousin, but she nodded.

"It's the same with Daphne, we were close before Hogwarts, but once she was in Slytherin it's like I was a stranger to her." Neville said depressively.

"Yeah, it happens a lot from my understanding, but we all have to put a facade up. Come the time we meet at school in public, I will act like this day never happened," Blaise stated.

"Oh my lord, that sounds awful," Anthony's mom said.

"That's politics for you," Flint said.

"And it's sadly true," Amelia Bones added with a sigh.

Hermione got up, "All this talk is starting to make me feel depressed, I now need two movies, a tub of popcorn, and three sodas to cheer up. Whose with me?" and she ran inside the house followed by the rest of the kids.

"She's going to need to thoroughly brush her teeth three times after today." Jean stated tiredly.

"Emmett! The Granger's sent us pictures of Hermione and her fight video." Rosalie excitedly holding the package with a strong grip.

Opening the box, she was surprised to see several letters wrapped in a ribbon in the small box too. She saw a loose note in there.

Mama Bear and Papa Bear

I know you want to be here with me as I am surrounded by friends for the first time in my home. So I wrote on the back of the pictures to give you details. I also continue writing to you once a week throughout summer. I was planning on just sending them through an owl, but I thought you would like it to with all these pictures and the cassette tape. I love you both, and miss you.

Your Cub Bear,

Mimi

"Aw, we just have the most considerent daughter ever," she snuggle into Emmett hearing him hum in agreement.

They decided to watch the video first and were happy that they involved a before and after. Hermione was such a bundle of nerves at the thought of her friends coming over at the house, it then cut to before the fighting started. It was amazing seeing her with friends.

"Oh my god, it is Edward!" Emmett exclaimed making the rest who decided to give them privacy come rushing into the room.

"Oh my lord, the resemblance are striking," Esme said.

All of them continue to watch Hermione's fights. Emmett of course got into competitive father mood, and was cheering along, Jasper cheered too.

"Aw, she got fourth place, well there's better luck next year. I'll encourage her to practice with another person then just Neville."

"Oh stop it you, our daughter did exceptionally well. She was the youngest if I remember correctly," Rosalie bragged.

They then moved the the photos. Alice voiced her frustration on how people didn't have any fashion sense in the magical world, and Rosalie agreed. They were soon done and the couple moved to their room to read the letter.

Hope you love everything so far.
