A/N: Hey everyone. So I was checking my last chapter out and realized that I had got the morphing code wrong. I have now changed it so sorry to anyone who spotted the error but if you didn't then ignore what I just said. I know this chapter is smaller than the previous ones but it still counts as a good chapter...in my opinion anyway. LOL!
A/N: Thanks for all the reviews so far, hopefully more will follow after this chapter.
Disclaimer:I do not own power rangers or Harry Potter but if I did some definite changes would be made. However I do own Kimberly's parents and any other OC's that I may put into the story later on.
Angel Grove Park:
After arriving back on Earth, Hermione and her friends agreed that it would be best to get to know each other and so after powering down in some near by bushes the trio sat in a circle of sorts on the grass. Andros looked around the park curiously whilst Cassie sat in an indian style position playing with strands of grass that she had pulled out the ground and looking more and more uncomfortable as the silence continued. Hermione meanwhile welcomed the silence graciously as it gave her the chance to reflect on all that had happened during the last few hours. She sighed deeply and looked at her companions a pang going through her heart as she remembered being part of another trio many years ago, though it still seemed like yesterday to her. Andros was now looking back towards the group and she offered him a smile as Cassie shuffled around growing more and more agitated as the seconds passed by. Hermione looked at her and grinned whilst shaking her head. Some things never change! she thought as she changed her position on the grass to get a better view of her friends and prepared to speak up. "Well I must say Cassie that this is the longest time that I have known you to be quiet." she started in a teasing tone, chuckling softly as her friend looked up and glared at her. She placed her hands up in mock surrender and caught Andros smirking at them both as they continued with their role-play. Good. That's got rid of some of the tension!she thought as she spoke up once more. "If we're going to be part of a team it's only fair that we talk about ourselves for a bit so that we can build up a strong team bond and friendships. So who wants to start?" she said looking between Andros and Cassie for a sign of acceptance.
Andros looked at Cassie who simply shrugged her shoulders at him before looking back towards Hermione and clearing his throat. "You already know my name and the name of my home planet so I guess that's a start." he stated as he ran a hand through his hair in contemplation of what to say next. "I am sixteen years old and I have been the red astro ranger for almost two months." he added vaguely as he looked between them both carefully to catch their reaction. Hermione looked genuinely curious shooting him an encouraging smile as he spoke whilst Cassie watched him passively keeping her emotions heavily guarded and making Andros frown. How can I get her to trust me like Hermione?he asked himself clearly aggravated at the lack of response he was getting from the asian girl.
Hermione noticed this and shot a warning glance at her friend who simply rolled her eyes at her. "Cassie why don't you tell Andros a bit about yourself." she said smiling at the relieved expression Andros shot her way before he turned to look at Cassie who looked stunned for a moment as she looked between them both quite clearly shaken by her friends comment.
She shook her head to clear her thoughts before looking up at them both and nodding in acceptance. "Well my name is Cassie and i'm also sixteen years old. I have known Hermione for around three years now and we met at a boarding school in England. My favourite colour is pink-as if you didn't know that already though." she said shooting her friends a cheeky grin before speaking up again. "I love all animals accept the little creepy crawleys like spiders and such. And I used to have a passion for music until about a year ago when I suddenly decided to leave it behind." she said shooting a knowing glance at Hermione who nodded clearly understanding the real reason why she no longer had a passion for music whilst Andros looked confused.
"It's a girl thing Andros." Hermione said as she caught his confusion and grinned as he blushed lightly. Cassie also grinned when she saw him blushing but she quickly looked away as he turned towards her and Hermione shook her head in amusement as she cleared her throat to speak. "My name is Hermione and I am also on the sixteen year old 'band wagon'." she started but was interrupted as Andros cut in.
"What's a band wagon?" he asked curiously.
Cassie looked at him in annoyance. "It's a figure of speech." she said clearly irritated at the boy for interrupting Hermione. "Listen Mia i'm gunna go home now okay-aunt Julie is probably wondering where I am." she said looking at her friend as she got to her feet and brushed herself down.
Hermione looked at her and frowned. She can't keep running from her problems. she thought sadly as she stood up and hugged her friend. "Okay. Meet me outside school at eight tomorrow so that I can show you around." she said as she pulled out of the hug and smiled at her friend warmly.
Cassie offered her a half-smile and nodded before turning away from them both and walking off across the grass away from them.
Hermione watched her walk off before turning back to Andros who had now stood up and was looking at her with a mixture of confusion and concern. "She doesn't like me much does she." he stated with a small smile as she gazed at him sympathetically and nodded. "Why?" he asked as they began to walk across the grass.
Hermione looked up at him and shrugged her shoulders lightly as she thought about how to answer the question without breaching her friend's trust. "I don't know much about her life before I met her but she pretty much trusted no one but herself. Even now I don't think she trusts me fully." she finished softly as sadness flickered across her face.
Andros looked down at her with a frown feeling that she knew more than she was letting on but he did not press the matter. "Well I guess that i'm gunna have trouble off her for a while then." he said with light humor though one look in his eyes told a different story as he looked around the park. "I should go to." he said as they came to a stop at the entrance of the park.
Hermione looked at him and nodded. "Okay. Will you be at school tomorrow-Cassie starts then too." she added noting as his eyes lit up at her friend's name.
He shook his head at her wearily but changed his mind as she shot him a disapproving glare. "O-okay." he stuttered clearly caught off guard by her glare.
Hermione grinned at him with excitement and patted him on his arm as she walked past him. "Meet me here at seven thirty and then we can walk to school together and wait until Cassie joins us." she said as she walked away from him.
"Fine. See you tomorrow." he called out before looking around and opening up his watch. "DECA one to teleport." he said after double checking that nobody was around and disappearing in a flash of red into the sky.
A/N: And that is where I will leave this chapter. Please leave a review no matter how small...or big!
A/N: Next chapter will see the start of school and Andros meets the others.
