Chapter 2: In The Twilight zone
"So, here it is?" Elizabeth, Hermione's mum, said. They had arrived at the Train station, instead of taking the Hogwarts one; they took the Sagustine express which parted at 5pm. The university was supposed to be in Ireland. Hermione felt the adrenaline rushing through her veins. She felt extremely excited.
"Packed everything honey?" Her mum inquired worried. Hermione checked mentally her stuff.
"Yeah, wait---" Hermione paused "Oh no, yes I put Hogwarts: A history"
"So honey, it's 4:30pm, you know I've got to work. Will you be ok if I go now?" Elizabeth smile warmly. 'I always am' Hermione answered to herself.
"Sure, mum, no problem" They hugged and for a strange reason, Hermione hugged her tightly and said "I'll miss you, mum" and she meant it.
"We'll miss you too 'Mione." 'Right. Like my father cared' Hermione thought.
"Sure mum. I'll try to write as soon as I can"
Hermione left the car and when she turned around her mother was on the road waving goodbye. The train she had to take was the Irish express which would take to Sagustine directly. She looked around and saw no one familiar. Her watched indicated 4:40pm.20 more minutes. 'Better go now' She positioned before platform 9& ¾, and run into it. She was surprised to see that there were lots of wizards and witches waiting for the Express to arrive. Most of them were already filling the train. 'I'd better catch a good seat.' After all the trip was going to last a day: 24 hours. Again no one familiar, maybe no one from Hogwarts received the Sagustine's letter. So she left her bags in the luggage storage.
Inside the train, it seemed bigger; it obviously had special accommodations so seats turn into beds. She started looking for empty compartments, but amazingly most of them were occupied. She gave up and looked at her watch 4:57pm. 'What?!' . She decided that the best choice would be to find a compartment to settle her things down. Suddenly, the train started to move 'Damn' She opened the first door she saw.
There was a girl. She had black really-curly hair, black clothes, dark make- up, and black shoes. And she looked anxious, even scared. But as soon as she saw Hermione, her expression turned cold, dead serious.
"Would you mind If I stayed here?" Hermione inquired.
The girl looked at the window. 'I'll take that as a yes'
She put her handbag on the floor and seated in front of her. 'Now, what do I do?' Her favourite thing in the world of course: read. She took out a muggle book she'd been reading recently. Just when she was feeling comfortable, the girl before her started doing some weird movements with her head. She noticed headphones on her ears. 'She must be listening to music' She also read carefully what was on the girl's shirt. It said 'Venom' but with some kind of graffiti. She had heard of a band called Venom, but it was metal. Of course, Hermione didn't like metal at all.she was more into punk. So, she ventured.
She touched the girl's shoulder and this opened her eyes looking alerted.
"Hmm.do you like metal?" Hermione started "I thought you were head banging"
Something really weird happened. The girls' face turned into a genuine smile, a sincere smile of pure happiness.
"You know? Cool" the girl said in a strange kind of English.
"Yeah, I have some knowledge. I'm Hermione Granger, by the way" Hermione responded happily, she had found someone to talk to at last.
"Oh. I'm Romina Black and I'm Finnish, by the way". Now, Hermione understood her weird accent. 'Black' that last name, she felt sadness filled her.
"Finnish? Cool. Is it nice there? And what are you doing in England?" Hermione found this girl somewhat interesting.
"Well.it's like any place in the world. And I'm going to Sagustine's University" the girl stated proudly.
"Really? Me too! Were did you attend to?" Hermione feel relieved, she wasn't the only girl going to Sagustine's.
"I attended to Fuller's a small school in Switzerland" Romina answered with a hint of longing.
"I see. So you like metal music. Are you in a band?" Hermione asked fascinated, she needed to meet new people.
"Unfortunately, no" Romina seemed sad for a minute. "But you like Punk! Cool! I've never met a punkette" she added.
Hermione laughed amused at this girl's enthusiastic mood. At first, Hermione had thought Romina was antisocial and some kind of weirdo, but talking to her changed her mind. The whole trip to Ireland: the whole day, they talked and joked. They even shared information about music. She'd never felt how was to have a girl friend, someone to call sister. Hermione discovered this girl had had troubles with her parents, especially her mother and felt extremely lonely.
"So, why did you run away?" Hermione asked worried in one of those conversations when people don't matter, just souls.
"I hate my mum. I truly hate her. She wants me to be 'the sweet girl' and I'm not. My father is different, he understands me." Romina sighed.
"Well, at least you have someone. Besides, things happen when you least expect it. Everything will be ok, you'll see" Hermione smiled warmly.
Being a girl, it's awfully difficult. It's far more complicated. You worry about more things and you hate it. But, in the end, they agreed it was better to be a girl than a plain, simple guy. Hermione and Romina got on really well. They learned to trust in the other. They've never had a girl friend before. They felt they could talk about everything.
**************************************************************************** ******
The Irish Express first stop was at Sagustine. It was 4:30pm and they started to put their things in order. Everything set. Unfortunately, Hermione was in the Educational area and Romina in the Special Abilities one. Hermione was planning to be a teacher, especially Arithmancy and Romina's special skill was transfiguration: she was an illegal animagi.
Finally, the train stopped. "So, Romina, ready?" Hermione asked, pulling her clothes.
"Yeah. Let's go"
Outside, it was quite warm; they were in the middle of summer after all. The landscape was beautiful (A/N: I've never gone to Ireland, BTW.) Hermione felt like jumping and dancing, she smelled the air. She felt free. She couldn't wait!
"Come on Romina!" Hermione hurried. Hermione ran to the big grid jail- style. She saw a small gate nearby. As she came closer, she spotted a silhouette moving.
"Excuse me! Excuse me!" Hermione yelled at the figure. She realized it was an old lady. "Madam?"
The woman turned around. She had a huge similarity to Professor McGonagall.
"Excuse me; could you help us, we're new students of Sagustine" Hermione explained signalling Romina who was now by her side.
"As a matter of fact, I'm the Headmistress" the woman stated seriously.
"Oh.uhmm. I was wondering how we could.hmm.." Hermione was having a major problem with loss of words.
"Don't worry. Ms."
"Granger"
"Right and Ms."
"Black"
"I see. I'm Professor Times Follow me please" Professor Times raised her eyebrow and turned around.
Hermione and Romina exchanged looks. Surprised and confused looks.
Professor Times guided them through the door. Hermione opened her eyes widely. It was awesome. It looked like Hogwarts, but it had a more contemporary aspect. However, she felt she had been there before. There was a lot of activity since it was the first day. People all over the world went there to study the finest arts.
"Ms. Granger, Ms. Black, you will be given all the information necessary in that office.." Professor Times showed a long line, all of them were new students.
"Thank you so much Professor Times." Hermione replied gratefully.
Professor Times nodded and entered her office.
"So, we'll have to wait here? Great!" Romina said sarcastically, rolling her eyes.
"Hey! at least, we know what to do!" Hermione scolded her. They placed beside a long-haired guy.
A few minutes of silence between them passed. They were too busy observing their surroundings.
"Oh no! Not again! I have to be dreaming. I must be dreaming" Romina touched her temples and exhaled loudly.
"What's wrong?" Hermione tried to spot something out of place.
"It's her!! Of all people. It's her!" Romina muttered angrily. "Adriphany"
"What?!" Hermione thought she had heard wrong.
"Adriphany. The lowest bimbo bitch on earth" Romina's face retorted in disgust.
"Hey! Relax, maybe she's here accompanying someone. I mean if she's a bimbo." Hermione saw the bright side.
"She may not have a brain, but she does have money" Romina said like it was something obvious.
Adriphany was looking extremely excited, with her hands on her well-defined waist. She was wearing too much make-up. Her clothes consisted of a blue- jean skirt, pink tank top and white sandals. The perfect virgin.
"I studied with her at Fuller and she lived in Finland as well." Romina saw Adriphany ran up to a certain blonde-haired boy.
"NO! It can't be!" It was Hermione's turn to scream.
Adriphany put her hands behind his neck and kissed his cheeks. Finally, the blonde-haired guy turned around.
"Malfoy!" Hermione couldn't believe her eyes.
"Who's that? I think I know him somewhere" Romina said curiously.
"My worst nightmare hugging your worst nightmare" Hermione couldn't move her eyes off the scene.
"So, you know the guy? Gosh! we must be in the twilight zone" Romina joked. Hermione chuckled and realized they were getting close.
"Look, there are only two guys left and then it's our turn!" Hermione told Romina.
"Let's hope THEY are not in our same classes" Romina said frustrated. "Hey! Mr. Nightmare is coming and it seems that he's recognised you" she added.
"Oh God..no.no.no. Oh Hi Malfoy!" Hermione said bitterly.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Ms.Know-it-all" Malfoy drawled sarcastically.
Hermione rolled her eyes. Same ol' Malfoy.
"Yeah, nice to meet you too" Hermione said nonchalantly.
"Oh come on Mudblood, be more cheerful" Malfoy raised an eyebrow (A/N: OH MY GOD! I LOVE HIS EYEBROW)
"I'm not in the mood now" Hermione replied angrily. She hated being called that. She didn't want to admit it, but she hated it.
"Yeah, me neither. I'd better go back. My delicate sight can't stand seeing so much ugliness together"
"Enough-" Hermione began but Romina cut her. "Yeah, why don't you go back with Ms.I-have-no-brain!"
"Who are you?" Draco asked Romina. Just then, Adriphany appeared.
"Black? Eww.is that you? Your worse than the last time" Adriphany's rat- like face looked surprised. "Draco, do you know this loser?"
"Not in a million years" Draco said smugly.
"Next!" said a voice coming from the office.
"Well, ferret, I guess we gotta go" Hermione grabbed Romina's arm and entered the office.
"Oh come on Draco, let's go with the guys. " Adriphany pulled Draco by the arm. "Oh my God! Look there's Agatha, look at her shoes, they're so beautiful!" Adriphany squealed.
Draco sighed and rolled his eyes. Adriphany was so shallow, she only cared about clothes. Draco's parents were friends with her parents, she'd never liked, but as Parkinson, she was a pureblood.
"Hmm..yeah, go there, I'll be right back" Draco excused himself. Adriphany ran excited and kissed all "the girls"
Draco wandered around. He had registered in the morning, but still hadn't had the time to explore Sagustine. He noticed a board, those boards where students announce meetings or people publicize ads needing experts in Potions and so. He noticed a small ad that said:
"Guitarist and vocalist needed for a metal band. Interested ones please contact Rafael Bossk (room 135-Row D) or Kiko Loureiro (room136-Row D)"
'Interesting' he thought. He had learned to play electric guitar, but had never told anyone; after all it was related to muggles. 'I'll contact them' Maybe it wouldn't be so bad. His favourite type of music was death metal, and maybe in those hours of rehearsals he could escape from Adriphany and her bimbo friends. This time in Sagustine wouldn't be that bad as he had thought. He could feel something great was about to happen there.
tbc.
Okay! Did you like it? Let us hope! About the metal band.well IT HAS to do with Hermione so don't worry. So, can you guess the relationship between Romina and Draco? REVIEWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!
