Disclaimer: I own nothing except the plot, and these characters: Kyle, Selene, Cassie and more to come!
Hermione's eyes widened and her mouth bobbed up and down like a fish. A whirlpool of emotions overtook her, seeing Harry, Ron and Ginny again. Maybe she'd never see Kyle again. Where would she live? With Uncle Sev of course, but then everybody would know of their relation.
"Go back to Hogwarts? But I'd have to leave Beauxbaton, Kyle and Zia Selene!"
One lonely harsh word flashed through her mind Hypocrite. She had done exactly the same thing with the Grangers and her friends, why couldn't she do it now?
"Hermione, I knew this would be a difficult decision for you that's why I contacted Dumbledore and told him of our situation-"
"And has offered me a job at Hogwarts, as a Muggle Studies professor." Selene cut in. "Honey, if you don't want to leave, you don't have to. You uncle could always move in with us here."
Hermione knew her Uncle would give up his loved job to be with her in Italy, but she couldn't do that to him.
"I-I need to sleep..."
Both nodded at their niece's request.
Sleep would not come to Hermione that night thoughts of seeing her friends scared her, thoughts of leaving Kyle made tears come to her eyes –damn those hormones-. He was the one. They hadn't actually been together yet but she knew he was the one she'd lose it to. With her track record anyone who's someone would have thought she would have lost her virginity by now. First there was Viktor Krum, the professional quidditch player who's about five years older her age, she had met him in divination during her first months at Beauxbaton, then he'd transferred to Dumstrang. Then there was Pukram Lanif part of the Arabian royal family, sweet guy but really not she type, they had only dated for six months. After those two it was Adam Levine, a pureblood musician who surprisingly was a very gifted wizard, they had dated for five months, Hermione thought he was the one but he transferred to a different wizarding school before they could complete the deed, he was the one she had loved the most. Last but not least: Kyle Sauveur, half French, half Italian model, the nine month relationship was the one that would do the deed.
Her sex life wasn't really what was bothering her, I mean hello? Right now (maybe always) her knowledge and studies came before her looks and relationships, it was whether to go back to England, it was time to consult the wiser Hermione...
The pro's and con's of going back to England
Pro: She'd see her friends
Con: Maybe they hated her.
Pro: Have a chance at being Head Girl

Oh that's just great! The Pro's and Con's were equal! Hermione turned around to look out of her window, the sun was near up. It must have been about 5:30. She had to get ready for her Sauna appointment. She took a cold shower thinking of her situation. Still there wasn't a clear answer. She put on a tank top and cut off three quarter length trousers, grabbed the handbag which was perched on top of her piano stool, and headed towards the study and picked up the telephone.
"...Tinny? Could you ask the Driver to get the car ready?"
"...Yes I realize it's a quarter to six in the morning."
"... Look do you want me to set you free?"
"... I see you see my point. Thank you."
After the phone call she headed towards the kitchen to get an apple, by the time she got there she realized it was 5:55.
"Shit!" She raced towards the counter and grabbed an apple and run out of the back door towards the garage.
"Hullo Miss Hermione. Vhich car vould you like to use zis morning?" Asked the young driver, his name tag said Fabio.
"The Porsche Boxster. Could you take me to the Sun Spa?"
"But of course madam." He said as he opened the car passenger car for her. "What is your schedule for today?"
"Firstly the Sun spa, then about 7:30, I would like to take me to the centre of Milan for some shopping and to the Library. Pick up Cassandra for me before you pick me up please. About two o' clock we'll be having lunch so I'd like you to make reservations at Hotel Edelweiss. At four o' clock I have my Skiing lesson, and then at 6:00 I'd like to be dropped at the Sauveur Estate, Kyle should be giving me a lift home. Oh and please inform my Zia Selene and Uncle Severus of my schedule.
"Yes Madam." Fabio said as we entered the car park of the Spa.
After visiting a few hundred shops with her best friend Cassandra, and then hitting the black run in Macuanaga- a wizard ski resort, Hermione was left looking at the front entrance of the Sauveur estate. She rang the palm sized door bell twice then waited. The door opened to reveal a small house elf.
"I'm here to see Kyle Sauveur." Hermione said confidently.
"O-one moment p-please." The little female sounding house elf shut the door politely then returned a few moments later. "Master Kyle is in his bedroom on the forth floor, six doors to the right."
She smiled at the scared helpful creature.
"Thank you." And gave to it 10 sickles. It gawked at Hermione as she turned around to face the spiralling stairs. Her mobile phone rang; she looked at the small screen. There in bold writing it said: UNCLE SEVVIE. That was the nth time he had rung today, she really didn't feel like speaking to him, especially after last night. She turned her phone off and knocked on Kyle's door. His door opened faster than you could say Quidditch.
"Hermy, what are you doing here?" Kyle sounded pleased to see her.
"Can't a girl visit her gorgeous boyfriend?" She asked, she leaned towards him and brushed her lips against his. She wrapped her arms around his waist and pushed him to the bed. She put one leg over his torso and straddled him
"Are you sure?" She gave him an answer by undoing his belt buckle. Her nerves were on end, her stomach felt like a bottomless pit of goo.
Hermione woke up a few hours later feeling just a tad sore and alone.
"Kyle?" she said rubbing her eyes.
"I'm right here." A voice said to the right of her. "We'd better get you home, your aunt called, she was worried sick about you." He said buttoning up a crimson shirt.
She looked to the left and saw the digital alarm clock flashing the time: 11:41pm
"Holy shit, my curfew is in twenty minutes!!" She raced out of the bed and got her skirt, bra, underwear and tank top, and ran to the bathroom.
Fifteen minutes later they were in front of the Snape Estate.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Ky." With that she gave him a soft kiss and sprinted in the direction of the house, keys in hand.
She walked in and was faced with two very pissed off Snapes.
"Young lady! What right do you think you have vanishing for the day! Only sending a message with the driver telling us you're spending the whole day out! Then not returning my phone calls!!" Severus took three paces forward, placed a hand on the girl's shoulder and visibly calmed. "I'm sorry Hermione, you worried us. But I trust you've come to a decision about England?"
"Yes, I have."
"What is it then Hermy?" Selene said looking at the young lady in front of her with curious eyes.
"I want to stay here."
The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that this gets better as we go
-- 'Here without You' by 3 doors down.
AN: Thanks for all the reviews!! Keep them coming!! :D I know the chapters are very short but I can promise you they'll get much bigger! Is Hermione too out of character(OOC)?
