Hey, ok I am officially changing into the same person and it wont be from the persons point of view. I get so confused doing it the other way, but it seemed more personal that way. Sorry if I was confusing you guys! Thanks Sam c'ya on July 19th!!! Thank-you very much to swimchic, its great hearing that I'm doing well. Cause I never know if I am. Um… thanks again Alex, you know you can review it the normal way at the bottom of the page! Oh and your in this chapter!! Hi Lauren!! If I haven't talked to you, I hope you had a GREAT time at COSI!! LoL look @ me posting this to the world! Anyway, please review they mean so much to me!! Oh! And I'm playing with fire here and making up what "American wizards" are like considering the fact that she hasn't said anything about them! Here's chapter… um 6!! He He I lost count!
Hermione stared at the… well she guessed the witch named Alex… who had, looked like she had fallen into her oh-so-humble home. She was speechless. Alex wasn't however she started talking almost immediately.
" Whoo! Geez, you need a stronger ceiling there girl! How are people supposed to come see you if they can't soar over here and land somewhere safe! Oh well, you loss now we have a ceiling to clean up, I doubt your land lord would be to happy if we just left it like that huh?" She smile broadly, before brandishing her wand, giving it a twirl and laughed as the pieces of broken cement circled around and crushed itself into a block and placing itself back into the ceiling. Hermione just continued to stare as she slowly took this miraculous person in.
Piecing together ceilings wasn't a normal part of Hogwarts curriculum, although she herself knew how to do it, but still. She stood 5'9 tall and had straight dark brown hair where the tips brushed her shoulders. Her eyes could give even Harry's a run for his money. There were a blue that if put up against the sky would probably match perfectly. There was a turquoise ring around them that seemed to close them in as well as blend together; they were so striking it set her off for a moment. She smiled a toothy smile that was very bright and fit her cheerful happy mood. She was dressed in navy blue satin robes that fit her figure more than the Hogwarts robes would.
" Yeah, um girl I don't know your name yet, I'm Alex. " She walked forward and I jumped out of my shock and smiled warmly and shook her hand.
" Hermione Granger, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please to make your acquaintance." She smirked.
" Hogwarts huh? OOOO special witch in the house!" At Hermione's look of confusion, she widely grinned and said, " Oh geez! Hermione my dear friend you really need to chill or should I say Herm-own-ninny?" She kept grinning her cat like grin. It was like she knew something others didn't. Like the whole 'Herm-own-ninny' thing, was she related to Victor Krum?
" Right now I am going to pretend I- "
" Or maybe, you are so un-humorous because of the situation with the boy who lives?" Hermione's jaw dropped and stayed there as the impossibility of what she had said sunk in. Is it possible that she is a spy? Was she working with the Dark side, plotting against the trio and is here to play nice and gain her trust? But the carefree appearance of the witch standing in front her doesn't even have that side of her... probably ever.
" How do you know about that?" Hermione breathed, " No one is supposed to know about that!"
" Well, lets just say I'm not like everyone!"

Harry stood in the middle of a wide-open grassy green field. It was near, well within walking distance, of his house and if he needed he could have apparated (He had gotten his test done only three weeks before he was put here) but it seemed like too much trouble, magic and besides he liked the walking. Looking up at the vast sky, it soothed him knowing that there really was something bigger going on somewhere else and it all might be all right. He located several constellations, making sure he kept up with his astronomy homework, and turned to walk home. He couldn't believe that only a month ago he was inside of the magnificent walls of Hogwarts castle only worrying about when his next exam was (um… well um yeah sorry I'm going to pretend Voldemort just popped up out of nowhere and came back to power!) and now he was on his own in America of all places.
Despite the fact that his best friend was in mortal danger, he had gone over Melissa's house, as promised, to study science. He was impressed by her house, and especially loved meeting her entire family. Now meeting her formally, there was something about the young one, Lauren that made him think she wasn't just any girl. She was only ten, yet smarter than her 15-year-old brother. That amazed him, that and the fact that SHE could almost be teaching him Science rather than her older sister.
Melissa was another thing. She was so nice, and helpful and patient, so unlike many girls he had met. She made him think, she made him wonder, she set up questions that made him ponder over for hours until he just had to find the answer. Maybe that was another reason he had come to look at the stars like there was some hidden answer to his problem. She was slowly driving him insane, going crazy over the simplicity of things.
Walking into the door of his apartment, he once again picked up the letter he had sent out with a much less welcome return, and looked it over and over again. 'Surrender the boy who lives' Was that what he had to do? Surrender him and all his friends would be safe.
Hi! Yes another cliffy! Lol ok I wont do it too much any more. I had to make this short cause I have to go get ready for school and all that jazz! Plus I have to go back to my dad's house so it makes it easier if I just end it and pick up where I left off there! Please Review!
