Notting Hill

Chapter 1

It was a beautiful day in Notting Hill and inside a small travel book shop, a man by the name of Ron Weasly and his employee Neville Longbottom is discussing a financial problem.

"Neville, I think we might have to cut back on our expenses this month, we barely made our payments this month"

" I know Ron but you don't have to pay me back until this store is making money again!, Cheer up Ron, let's get some butterbeer, I know a wizard's pub down an alley"

" Better made it half a butterbeer instead"

"Sure, I'll be back"

As Neville left the store, Ron pondered on his financial problem until he heard a ring. It was the sound that the door makes when it is opened or closed. He didn't look up at the door because he thought it was Neville, but upon hearing no voice, he looked up to see a woman wearing muggle clothing: a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. She was also wearing a hat with dark sunglasses. She was just browsing through the stacks of books, when he saw on his surveillance camera that a man just slid a book down his trousers. He eventually when to the back of the store to approach the thief and ask him kindly for the book.

"Sir, can I please have the book in your trousers?"

"What book in my trousers?"

"The book you have in your trousers, I saw you from there." Pointing at the camera on the top corner of the wall.

"I don't have a book in my trousers"

" I saw you put a book down your trousers, if you want I can call the police and let them check instead"

" Ok, what if there is a book down my trousers?"

"Then you would take it out and place it back on the counter, I'll be waiting for you outside"

Ron walked back outside and soon following him was the so-called thief. He then placed the book on the counter and preceded to walk out of the store until he spotted the lady.

"Hi, are you who I think you are?"

" Well, who do you think I am sir?" answered the lady.

" Can I have you autograph?" the man said holding out a piece of paper.

" Um. . Sure, your name is. ."

" It's Ralph"

"Ok Ralph, here"

"Thank you, do you want my phone number?"

" Tempting, Tempting, but no" And the man preceded to walk out of the store. While this was happening, Ron was watching this in his surveillance television he has on the counter. He had a clue to who she was, but still wasn't sure. The lady began to come out from the back of one of the shelves and started to walk towards the front of the store. She picked up a book from a shelf and glanced at it.

"Oh, you don't want that book, the author actually did not go to China."

"It's ok"

"But this book," holding u pa novel sized book, "is very good, I do believe that the author actually went to China."

"Thanks but I'll take this one"

"Sure, sure, here," taking the previous novel sized book "take this book as a free gift."

"Thanks" As she started to go out the door she turned around and said, "By the way, do I know you from somewhere?"

" Um… probably not, I don't know much people."

"Oh. You reminded me of someone I knew at school that's all. He also had red hair." With that statement she walked out of the shop and out into the relatively busy street. Ron stared blankly at the spot where she had just stood until another ring shook him out of his reverie. It was Neville.

"Here you are, half a butterbeer and half for me. Ron, is something wrong, you look like you've seen a ghost."

" I think I did, I swear that I saw her, but no it can't be, wait a second." Ron pulled out a receipt that the lady had signed. As he looked at the lady's signature, his eyes widened as big as dinner plates and his jaw dropped.

"Ron! What's wrong? What are you looking at?"

"It was her! She was here and I was too bloody blind to see. Great Wizards! I can't believe I didn't recognize her!!"

"Who??"

"Hermione, Hermione Granger!!"

"Hermione as here, when?"

" Just a few minutes before you arrived. She was browsing through the books and purchased some. Holy Wizards!! I can't believe I missed her, I'll never see her again!"

" Wow! This calls for another butterbeer, no lets make it more daring, pumpkin juice!"

"Sure, I'll go and get it."

With that Ron exited his store and onto the streets of Notting Hill. He arrived at the wizard pub and ordered two cups of pumpkin juice to go. After receiving his pumpkin juice he preceded to walk back to his store; however, being preoccupied with his thought of Hermione, he didn't look at where he was going until he bumped into someone.

"Bloody Hell!! I'm so sorry" Ron said looking at the person he ran into. Ironically it was the lady from the shop.

"Oh Wizards!! I've got pumpkin juice all over me!"

"Look, if you just come to my flat across the street, you can get yourself all cleaned up."

"What do you mean across the street, give it to me in inches, feet, miles!" 'Just like Hermione to ask for measurements' thought Ron.

"It's about 30 feet, it's that flat with the blue door Hermione" Ron said pointing to his flat.

"Fine, lead me there"

They quickly crossed the street and into Ron's flat. Ron went ahead and tried to clean up the mess in his flat while Hermione look at the photographs on his wall to hopefully know the identity of this man. One picture stood out among the rest. It was a picture of the man and two other people, a bushy-haired girl and a raven-haired man. Her eyes grew wide as she recognize the picture and of course the identity of the man. Ron just finished tidying his flat and walked into the living room where Hermione was when he saw her looking at their graduation picture with a wide expression.

She saw him come in and said,

"Ron. Ron, it that you?"
