-Home alone-Kinda-

It was the first day of Summer Vacation, and Hermione Granger was lying on her canopy bed and staring at her ceiling.

She had a date with Victor Krum at 6:00 pm, and she had woken up very late today, it was 1:00 pm. She really wanted to look good, this being her first date and all. So she decided to do her morning routine and then get ready.

Being the bookworm that she was, she had read that exercise is very important when you are growing up. So, for the past three years when she had woken up she had gone down stairs to where her mom kept all her work out supplies, and worked out for 30 minutes.

When she was done working out she ran down to the kitchen to eat breakfast, then she saw her parents sitting at the table, with two suite cases next to them.

"Mom, what's with the luggage?" Hermione said hoping that they didn't have to go on some last minute family vacation, because she would have to miss her date with Victor.

"Hermione, you might want to sit down for this", said her mom looking very serious. And just as her mom had told her to Hermione sat down across the table from her mom and dad.

"Hermione, dear, your great-grandma pasted away yesterday, and your mom and I have to fly to America for her funeral, but as much as you want to come, you cant. Because, we have to stay there for almost the whole summer, but we will be back to drive you to the train station. O and while you were sleeping Harry called, and we invited him here for the summer to keep you company" said her dad.

"O, I'm sorry mom, I know you loved great-grandma very mu-, WHAT!!!!!" she said just realizing the last part of what her dad had just said. "He cant come here, he's a.a.a boy" said Hermione as she stood up, now angry at her parents for inviting him over for the summer with out her consent.

"Well, see we trust you dear", said her mom.

"Why do you always have to trust me?" Hermione said falling lightly back into the chair. "I have a date with Victor today, I can't be in two places at once"

"Well, Harry isn't going to be here until 10:00, and by then you should be home", said her mom, "Well you know I would like to sit here and talk to you all afternoon, but your dad and I are going to miss our flight"

They said their good-byes then Hermione ran upstairs to get ready for her date. She ran to the bathroom brushed her teeth extra long, and then mouth washed it all out. Then she ran up to the shower, washed her hair, shaved, and scrubbed herself down. When she got out of the shower she blow- dried and straightened her hair, then ran to her room to find good clothes.

When she had finally picked her clothes then put them on, she was wearing a black top with spaghetti straps, which crisscrossed all the way down her back. She was also wearing a black skirt that came down to the middle of her thigh. She also had put on her favorite black high-healed strap shoes, with her corduroy jacket.

When she was done she put on some mascara, eyeliner, blush, very, very light gray eye shadow, and finally some light red lipstick. When she was finally dressed it was 5:30, so she called a cab to pick her up and bring her to the restaurant that she was supposed to meet Victor.

Then she wrote a note telling Harry that if she wasn't home by the time he got there to let himself in. By the time she taped the note on the door, the cab polled up.
"Downtown, La Appetite, please" said Hermione as she shut the door of the cab.

"Yes ma'am" said the driver polling away from the house.

The trip in the cab just seamed to fly by, because the next thing she knew she was handing the driver his money and walking up to La Appetite, which was a very expensive looking restaurant that she knew you could only eat there if you put a reservation in a month before you were actually going to eat there or you were Julia Roberts.

"Name" said a man in a suite behind a podium.

"O.I think it would be under Krum," said Hermione.

After the man checked the list he said, "Follow me"

The man in the suite took her to a small table in the middle of the room, with a single candle in the middle. The restaurant was really packed; the only table that wasn't filled was the one she was sitting in.

"Did Victor Krum get here yet?" asked Hermione to the man in the suite.

"No, Mr. Krum did not get here yet, do you want me to get you something while you wait." Said the man.

"Water please" said Hermione. She thought for sure that she would be the one who was late, but she wasn't. She checked the clock on the wall it was already 6:00. 'He'll get here, Hermione, don't worry' she told herself. Five minutes later the waiter came back.

"Your water miss," said the waiter handing her a glass of water.

"Thank you" said Hermione taking a sip of her water; she had to say this was the best water she has ever tasted.

"Are you sure you don't want anything to eat miss" said the waiter.

"No thank you," said Hermione with a smile. She seemed pretty stupid, because she was the only person who was sitting at a table alone.

She sat at that table staring at the candle in front of her, while very slowly the restaurant emptied out, still telling herself that he would be there. It felt like she was there for hours, but she didn't want to look at the clock, because she knew if she did it would just make her sadder.

But finally curiosity got the better of her. She stared at the clock it said 11:30. It must have been wrong she couldn't have been there for five and a half hours, it just couldn't be possible. If it were 11:30 no one would be there. So she looked around there was no one there, well no one but her.

Then a thought hit her like she had just been shot, he stood her up. She could feel tears coming from her eyes now. Was there something wrong with her, if there was she could change? It was her first date and she was all alone. She could feel more tears spill from her eyes now.

"Excuse me miss", said a nice looking old man that she had noticed before was mopping around her feet, "May I sit down".

"Sure" said Hermione wiping away her tears.

"Can I say something?" he said as he sat down, she nodded her head.

"Never change your self to fill up to someone else's expectations. If they cant except you for what you are then its there loss." Said the old man staring at her water filled eyes.

"How'd you know what I was thinking" said Hermione confused.

"I was young once", said the old man with a smile, "I was stood up so much I lost count". "But then I met my wife, .and I missed being stood up" Hermione laughed which just made more water come out of her eyes.

"Well, I better get going", said Hermione with a smile, "But thank you"

"Don't mention it," said the old man, he took three steps then turned around "O, I almost forgot, your cab is waiting outside for you"

"Bye" said Hermione as she walked outside and into her cab.

So many thoughts went through her head on the ride back to her house. Then just as she had done before she paid the driver and walked into her house.

She almost let out a scream when she saw that someone was on her couch sitting straight up fast asleep, but then she remembered that Harry was supposed to be there. Quietly she turned off the TV, Then the lights, and then she gently put him in the sleeping position, and slid a pillow under his head. She was half way up the stairs when she realized he didn't have a blanket. She crept down the stairs took the blanket off the back of the couch and put it over him.

'He is so cute when he is sleeping' she thought to herself.
