Chapter 2
A/N: Looks like I got enough reviews (I must have really low standards, cause I only got 3...). Thanks a BUNCH to:
MoMo-ChAn: Why would I want to kill the characters??
Elfmoon87: This takes place June 20 the summer before their 5th year. You can use your imagination to figure out exactly WHY they're at Hogwarts during the summer, as I don't know how to explain that little plothole ;)
Slone: I never thought I'd say this, but I feel sorry for Draco, too. Genelle is torture.
Ok, on with the story!
*******************************************************************
Ron, Harry, and Hermione leave the library and stand outside.
RON: ::looks around:: Where do you reckon we are?
HERMIONE: Chicago.
RON: How do you know that?
HERMIONE: Because, ::points to sign on door:: that signs we just left the Chicago Public Library. Can't you read?
RON: Oh...and of course I can read!
HARRY: So what do we do now?
HERMIONE: ........
RON: .......
HARRY: Well?
HERMIONE: Er...how about we just walk that way? ::points left::
RON: Why?
HERMIONE: Because we're totally lost and there's nothing else to do but move or stay put!
RON: We could go right.
HERMIONE: What's wrong with left?
RON: What's wrong with right?
HERMIONE: ::glares:: LEFT!
RON: ::glares:: RIGHT!
HARRY: We're going straight! ::drags Ron and Hermione across the street:: Honestly, you two fight about the stupidest things!
RON: She started it!
HERMIONE: I did not! You were the one who had a problem with going left! I don't know WHY, we don't really know where we are, so who CARES which direction we go-
RON: Well why do we have to go YOUR way, we ALWAYS go-
HARRY: SHUT UP! ::Ron and Hermione stop fighting:: We somehow end up in the middle of CHICAGO, where for some reason EVERYONE seems to know who we are, and people write stories about us on THE INTERNET, which is really rather SCARY, and all you two can do is FIGHT about whether we should have gone RIGHT or LEFT!
RON&HERMIONE: ::silent, faces go red::
HERMIONE: Sorry, Harry.
RON: Yeah, sorry.
HARRY: ::sigh:: It's ok. Come on, let's just walk.
Ron, Harry, and Hermione wander around Downtown Chicago, each lost in their own thoughts. Hermione spots something strange and stops dead on the sidewalk.
HERMIONE: Harry! ::tugs on his sleeve:: Harry! Look! ::points::
HARRY: What?
HERMIONE: Over there, look! People in robes!
RON: And pointed hats!
HARRY: But...they can't be wizards, can they? I mean, I know this is America and all, but they still wouldn't go around like that in broad daylight.
RON: ::eyes a passing couple dressed in full punk: piercings, tattoos, spikes and all:: I don't know...some American Muggles dress a lot stranger...
The trio watched the kids dressed like wizards walk into a store called "Borders", where a large number of people (many of them also dressed like wizards) were gathering.
RON: What's going on over there?
HARRY: Let's go see.
They cross the street, and now can see the display in the store windows.
RON: Look at this banner, Harry. It says: 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix sold at midnight tonight'.
HARRY: Another book about me?
HERMIONE: According to this banner, (HARRY POTTER BOOK FIVE IS HERE!), it's book 5 about you.
HARRY: Book 5? Then what are the other ones?
HERMIONE: I don't know. Let's go in and see.
They walk in, and have no trouble finding the other Harry Potter books, which are proudly displayed at the front of the store.
HERMIONE: Look! Here's the one that brought us here, 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone'. They have all our other adventures, too! 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets', 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban', I guess that would be Sirius, and 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'.
RON: Well, if the books are about our lives, then how come none of us have heard of 'The Order of the Phoenix'?
HARRY: Maybe this... ::peers at cover of book:: 'J.K. Rowling' can see the future!
HERMIONE: Maybe, but how come she's writing about us in the first place? How does she know? And why hasn't the American Ministry of Magic done anything about her? Muggles aren't supposed to know about us, after all.
HARRY: I don't know...::turns to girl next to him:: Excuse me? Could you please tell us what's going on here?
GIRL: They're going to have a party tonight for the release of the new Ha...::screams:: OH MY GOD! IT'S HARRY POTTER!
HARRY'S FAN CLUB (almost all the girls in the store): HARRY POTTER?! ::mass confusion as everyone tries to get to him::
HARRY: Help! Don't let them do to me what they did to Draco! Please, Ron, Hermione...
HFC: Harry! We love you, Harry! Come with us!
HERMIONE: ::sigh:: Stand back! ::stands between Harry and his fan club:: STOP! ::HFC stops their charge:: Leave him alone! He's mine, do you hear me? ::kisses Harry:: Mine! ::glares at HFC::
HFC: Aww...::slumps away disappointed::
HARRY: ::slightly stunned:: Come on...let's get out of here...
They walk out of the bookstore. Once outside, Ron bursts out laughing.
HARRY&HERMIONE: ::glare:: What are you laughing at?
RON: ::laughing:: You...you two...Harry's fan club...'he's mine'...'Mione, you...you and Harry...::laughing too hard to talk::
HARRY&HERMIONE: ::go red and look away::
RON: ::recovering:: Come on...let's get out of here before we run into any more obsessed fans.
They walk away in silence, until...
RON: Hey, Hermione, if there was a mad group of girls after me, would you kiss me to make them back off, too?
HARRY&HERMIONE: RON!!
RON: Joking, joking...

A/N: it was a bit short, yes, but it was ok, wasn't it? I was going to put another part in but then I decided it would make a great beginning to the next chapter. If you review I might just put it up. In the next chapter: We go looking for Draco and have...er...a bit of trouble getting him back from Genelle...
