Chapter One
Two Months After Graduation
Outside of Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor, a pretty girl about 18 or 19 years old sat at a table covered in parchment and books. Surprisingly, she did not look bored or unhappy as one would expect someone to be when having to research or study. She sat there looking in books and occasionally making notes on sheets of parchment when she was interrupted by two young men, one tall with shockingly bright red hair and sparkling green eyes and the other a few inches shorter with jet-black hair and vibrant green eyes. The red haired man spoke first. "Cripes Hermione!" he exclaimed loudly, "we're not even in school anymore and you still spend half your time with your nose stuck in books!" The girl closed the book she was reading and looked up at the two, "Well, its so wonderful to see you too, Ronald." She said with a teasing grin. "Aw, come on Mione," Harry Potter said, "you know I've missed you." "I've missed you both too" she said standing up to hug them both. " How was the training camp?" she asked. Harry and Ron had been training with England's Quidditch team. "It was torture!" the two men said in unison. "I thought Wood was bad," Harry said, "but now I know better. Wood was a saint compared to these guys." "Yeah," Ron chimed in, " I thought that the Ministry and Dad making us take some time off before deciding what to do would be fun. I don't know if Auror training would have been this bad!" "You two!" Hermione laughed. "So, what have you been doing these past couple of weeks?" Harry asked. "I've been spending a lot of time with Ginny and Susan who by the way missed you two like crazy, and I've been working on this project." She answered. "What is this mystery project by the way?" Ron asked her. "I'm not quite ready to tell yet." She said, "But you two really need to head on back to the Burrow, Ginny and Molly will kill both of you if you aren't there early for dinner so they can catch up." " You are coming to dinner tonight, aren't you Mione?" Harry asked. "Yes, but I've got some shopping I need to get done so I'll be by later." She told them, "Oh Ron, is Susan coming?" He nodded and Hermione continued, "I swear, if I had to hear one more time about how they missed their boyfriends I was going to put a silencing charm on both of them!" she said laughing. " So, go already! I'll be there tonight and maybe we'll get to spend some "Dream Team" time together." "Ok, bye Mione" the two boys chorused and then apparated away to the Burrow where they were no doubt met by three very happy females.
Hermione packed up her books, parchments, and quills and headed towards Flourish and Blotts. She had not made it very far before someone crashed into her and knocked her to the ground. "Hey watch it!" she said angrily as she looked up into the face of her assailant. Once she caught the face of who she had been run over by her scowl turned into a frown, "George Weasley! What are you doing here? I thought you would be at your shop or the Burrow." The co-owner of Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes smiled sheepishly at her and said, " I was going to Flourish and Blotts to get some books I ordered to get some new info for some new products and kinda wasn't watching where I was going. Hey, how did you know I was George? Even Mum can't tell us apart!" She smiled and just said, "I have my ways. But I was headed to the bookstore too and then I was going to The Burrow for dinner. Are you going over there tonight too?" "Yeah," he replied, "so, do you wanna hang out together for a while and then head over there when we're done?" "That sounds great." she said. She smiled up at him and George was suddenly struck by how extremely pretty she had turned out to be.
