The Promise-5-Hermione
Numbers 1 through 4 and the Extra

A/N This is a continuation of chapter 2

"Your wrong!" said Hermione grabbing the letter away from Elza. "I have 4!" Hermione looked at the neat handwriting that was on the envelope. "4!?" Elza and Jo said in unison. "Anyone we know?" Elza said smirking. Hermione smiled, "Oh, you'd be surprised." The she recognized the handwriting on the letter saying 'Hermione Isabelle Granger'. "And this," she held up the letter, "Is from number 3." Elza snatched the letter back. "I'm not giving this back until you tell us who they are." Hermione shook her head, "Fine but..." "No but's!" Jo jumped in , "Number 1?" Hermione sighed, "Viktor Krum." then smiled at the looks on their faces. "He took me to the Yule Ball in 4th year. Then asked me to his home in Bulgaria for that summer but I said no." Elza shook her head, "Number 2?" she said almost afraid to ask. "Oh that's just Ron Weasly, no big deal." Jo's Jaw dropped, "Ron Weasly? As in the Ron Weasly Keeper and Captain of the Cannons?" Hermione nodded and continued really quickly, "The third one isn't important and the fourth is Sean." "Wait a minute!!!!" Elza said walking up to her. "You had Krum AND Weasly, and the third's not important! Who is it Harry Potter?!" Hermione got red instantly, "HARRY POTTER?!" Hermione nodded slowly.

"Holy Shit!" Elza said as she handed the letter back to Hermione. She just stared at it as if in a trance. Jo taped her on the shoulder, "Huh?" Jo cleared her thought before she began, "Mio, do you think we could meet Potter? I've always wanted to." Hermione looked at the letter then back at her friend. I haven't seen him in 7 years. Please excuse me, I'll be back soon."

Hermione walked into the bathroom, locked the door, and sat on the tub. She opened the letter and started reading slowly.


Dear Hermione,

I'm sorry for bothering you like this but it's very important. Dumbledore and I just had a meeting and he informed me of something. Mione, I need your help, Ron's help too. I'm sorry to say this because I know how you feel about making and breaking promises but if you knew the reason you would understand. Both worlds need us, The Trio. Please, if you decide to come, meet me at Hogwarts, DADA classroom at Noon on Wednesday.

Harry Potter


"Mio! Mio are you O kay?" Elza knocked on the door. Jo pushed her out of the way and began banging on the door almost knocking it off it's hinges. Hermione Isabelle Granger! You've been there for a half hour! Open this DAMN DOOR!!!!" Elza rolled her eyes, "Move out of the way." Jo moved and Elza pulled out her wand (13 in, Ebony, Phoenix tail feather), pointed it at the door and whispered, "Alohomora!" There was a click and Elza opened the door. Hermione was sitting on the tub with the letter in her hands just staring at it. "Mio? Are you alright?" Hermione just nodded her head and still said nothing. After a few minutes more of awkward silence she stood and slowly walked to her bedroom. She set the letter on her bed , pulled out 3 large suitcases and with a flick of her wand shirts, pants and undergarments began flying into each suitcase neatly folded. Then Hermione began packing a small duffle bag with her make-up and hair supplies. She went to the back wall and muttered "Cualae Foris". Suddenly the wall moved aside and opened to a hidden closet filled with robes, cloaks and other magical supplies hidden from prying muggle eyes. She packed all of it in the (expanded) duffle bag.

"Mio," Jo started cautiously, "What are you doing?" "Packing." Hermione said matter of factly. "Why?" Elza asked this time. "Have to go to Scotland." Hermione was looking over her room to make sure everything was in order. Although cloths were still whizzing through the air she was finished so she sat on her bed. Jo sat next to her. "Why?" "Harry needs my help." Elza sat on Hermione's other side. "With?" "He didn't say. Hey!" she said just realizing something. "Can you be my subs at school for a few weeks, I'm leaving tomorrow." Jo and Elza nodded their heads, "Sure Gurlie, but, I thought you lived in England. What's in Scotland?" Hermione smiled remembering all the GOOD memories, "Hogwarts, my old school" Jo and Elza looked at each other after a long time Elza broke the silence, "How are you getting there?" Hermione looked thoughtful, "Well, I thought I'd take a muggle plane to London then Apparaite to an all magical village right by Hogwarts, Hogsmead it's called. I have a friend there that I can go to his house just in case I faint like I did last time."

By this time everything had been packed and ready to go. She sat at her desk, took out a piece of parchment, an Eagle quill, and some ink and began writing.

Sirius,

Hey! Haven't written to you in a long time. I was wondering if
you could do something for me. I'm coming back to England
for a while and I'm going to take a muggle plane to London
then I was wondering if it would be ok if I Apparaited to your
house? I'll explain everything when I get there. I was planning
to come tomorrow (Saturday). Is that ok? Please owl me as
soon as you can.

Hermione


"Who's Sirius? I don't remember you ever mentioning him." Elza said reading over her shoulder. "Oh! You working in the overseas department and not knowing who Sirius Black is?" Hermione said jokingly. "Black. Why is that name familliar?" Jo said deep in thought. Then it struck Elza, "Sirius Black! He's the one that sold out the Potters!!!" "He was framed" Hermione said with a dismissive hand. "Anyway he was cleared last year, Harry wrote me." She tied the letter to her owl Tea's (Ta-ah) leg. "Fly fast please babe." Tea nipped her affectionately and flew off. "Well, All I have to do is wait for a reply." She yawned and looked at the clock, 12:30. "Jo, Elza, I think you should go home it's late." They nodded, gave her a hug, and left. Hermione changed into the only night cloths that she had not packed and went to bed.
