TITLE: Always and Forever

AUTHOR: juicy_plum

SUMMARY: Boy, has Ron messed up this time! He accidentally transports some of his classmates into the time of the Oregon Trail, and now they must make it through alive or else. Rating due to strong sexuality and language.

RATING: R for strong sexuality and language.

DISCLAIMER: Do I own Harry Potter? No. All related characters, logos, and indicia are copyright of J.K. Rowling and Warner Brothers.

A/N: I must warn you now: If you don't like original characters or original characters mingling a lot with the original trio, then DO NOT read this! It is told from the point of view of an original character, Anna Kent. But don't worry, it'll still be primarily R/Hr. :)

CRASH!

"Dang! Ron, what did you do THIS time?" yelled Hermione Granger.

"EXCUSE ME, BUT I DO NOT APPRECIATE HAVING FROG GUTS ALL OVER MY HEAD!" I yelled.

Ron Weasley was standing sheepishly over my seat in Potions class, having just dropped frog - frog - well, frog stuff all over me by what I would like to think was an accident. The Potions Master, Professor Severus Snape, had just left to do something.

I love my life. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is honestly the best place in the world.

Bullshit.

Hey people. I'm Anna Kent and I'm a fifteen-year-old witch. Four years ago I received a letter telling me that I am magical and that I were accepted at Hogwarts. My parents were thrilled. I was not. I didn't want to leave my friends (my NORMAL friends I might add), but in the end I gave in and went to Hogwarts. And I'm fine now. I think.

Really, I am. I have three great best friends: Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger. Ron and Hermione are dating. Yes they are. Don't believe me? Fine then, read my journal and THEN you'll have proof. Hey! Don't open it up just yet! Trust me, in there you'll find a lot of confusing stuff that I think I need to explain to you first.

You see, it all started about a year ago, when Harry, Ron, and I were in our Muggle Studies class. Why I'm taking it I don't know. I'm half-blood and grew up thinking I was COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY NORMAL, but what the heck. Professor Alcott was teaching us about the Oregon Trail and how Muggles survived on the long, treacherous trip without magic. But first we had to come up with our own ideas on how they did it for homework, and that's when Ron REALLY screwed up.
