To Win Her Heart (Prologue)

To Win Her Heart (Prologue)

Ok…. Here is my newest attempt at a fanfic. It shouldn't be a very long one, and I hope to finish it as fast as I can! Please, Please Review it! I know this is just the boring old prologue, but give me ideas! I love ideas… crave ideas… whoa… I'm getting a little psycho. *Sweatdrop sorry about that… hehe. Anyway! Here goes….

Ms. Hermione Granger and Family,

I am pleased to inform you that Hermione has been chosen to participate in an exchange student program in America. Only four students from each school are allowed to participate in this once and a lifetime opportunity. At the beginning of the school year, you will attend Salem Witchcraft Academy in America, and stay there for the remainder of the year. In the past our students have greatly enjoyed the experience, but we need your decision before July 31st. More information will…

Hermione held the letter tight in her hand. "America?" she looked up at the calendar hanging on the kitchen wall above her head. It was July 29th, and she had to give her response soon. She had read this letter over and over so many times that it was forever etched in her memory, yet she was still so unsure. Her parents had answered saying it was entirely her choice, which in Hermione's opinion wasn't much help at all.

Her friends didn't know yet, and it gave her a guilty feeling inside for not telling them. Hermione was so confused. If she went she would go to a new place, full of fascinating new things. But if she went, she would also be leaving those closest to her behind.

A large snowy owl flew through the open window. Hermione instantly recognized it as Hedwig, who was busily stretching her large feathery wings. A letter was tired to Hedwig's left foot, and Hermione removed it at once.

Hermione,

I received a letter from Dumbledore a few days ago. He wants me to go to America! Imagine that! I already said yes, I hope that's all right with you. Ron was fine with the whole thing (only because he wants my spot on the Quidditch team I suspect.)

Write back soon!

Harry

Hermione was completely stunned… Harry? Going as well? Pulling a piece of parchment off the kitchen counter, she scribbled "I'm going."
