Hello everyone this is my first fan fiction (so be nice). Constructive criticism is accepted. Please be nice since I am writing this at midnight in the dark after being annoyed with the stupid elections on tv. I will update either 3 or 4 times a week since I have no life. And because I am so evil I started this two days before I leave for vacation so don't expect any updates for two and a half weeks but I will update as much as I can before I leave But good news! I will be bringing my laptop on the trip! So on the drive down and in the bad weather or at night I am sure I can write up a few chapters so when I get back chapters will be posted immediately. Dedicated to- my girls Dez, Ale, Jewlz, and Joy, just cause I love you!
!Please Read! (it will answer many questions) Summary- (Post Hogwarts) It has been 6 and a half years since the golden trio split up. Harry stayed in England working as an Auror, Ron moved to Romania to help Charlie in the dragon world, and Hermione suddenly disappeared after Graduation (reasons come in later). Herm has been leading a normal life in Italy which no one knows of, until a certain raven haired man stumbles into her coffee shop one cold December night. Will she be forced back to her old life in the wizarding world or will she refuse to return and turn her back to it once again even when love is knocking at the door along with it? Disclaimer- I do not own Harry Potter if I did would you honestly think I would be sitting here in the dark at midnight writing a fan fiction. (Didn't think so) Now pick up a Harry Potter book and read the authors name that's right it says J.K Rowling all I own is a Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban movie stub.
Now On to the story-
"Hiding From Her Past" Chapter 1 "Somewhere out there"
"Last time I talked to you
You were lonely and out of place
You were looking down on me
Lost out in space
We laid underneath the stars
Strung out and feeling brave
I watched the red orange glow
I watched you float away" Our lady peace Somewhere out thee...
The white powdery snow crunched under Anna's (Hermione) feet in the region of Calabria in Italy, a small town in Cosenza. The snow came down hard as she pulled her scarf closer around her neck and her cold hands clamped around her jacket to keep it closed. Cars were only great swirls of colored snow passing by. Dark figures rushed around many of the empty streets. The sky was white with a hint of pink in it and the shop roofs were covered in so much snow that they blend in with the white sky. It was a horrible snow storm and she could hardly see past her nose. Honey brown locks were pulled under the hood of her coat and she shivered as she crossed the street to a small coffee shop. She pulled out a copper key and slid it into the keyhole with some difficulty since her fingers were so numb and the snow was so blinding she couldn't locate the keyhole.
She pushed open the wood door, pulled off her heavy winter jacket and pulled off her ear muffs. She started a fire in the fireplace and started up the coffee machines. She pulled out several trays of biscuits and laid them in their proper spots on the counters. She looked around the coffee house. A small cozy place with a fireplace and several bookshelves's containing all sorts of books. Magazines and newspapers lay on a table near the fireplace. Comfy, burgundy armchairs were placed around coffee tables. People came to have a cappuccino, espresso or a nice biscuit and read a book by the fireplace, meet some friends or just read the newspaper.
She was pulled out of her daze when the chime on the door sounded. First customers of the day she thought. The customers loved Anna. She was so friendly and wise. She was great to talk to and get advice from. It was mysterious that she showed up 6 and half years ago from no where, only carrying a few belongings and a heavy British accent.
Anna never existed 6 and a half years ago. In her place was Hermione Granger. A bold, brave, angelic young woman who was far from normal. She was a Witch! But she turned her back on that life so many years ago. During the summer before graduation at Hogwarts her parents were killed in a Death eater attack. She lost them and some other family members. She sunk into depression when the images flashed into her mind never leaving her, she felt it was her fault they were dead. With the war between good and evil soon approaching everything seemed so stressful. She couldn't bare to loose anyone else close to her so the night she graduated she ran away. She started a whole new life. She felt that no one would miss her and it would only help her family and her friends wouldn't miss her. Boy was she wrong.
She moved to a small town in Italy, lost her accent picked up the Italian tongue and started a new life. It was hard to come home every night to an empty house and having to put on a fake cheerfulness while working but she knew it was better than her old life.
:"Excuse me miss" a raven haired man with emerald green eyes and black spectacles waved a hand in front of Maria's face. "Umm, Miss"
Anna snapped back to realty "sorry sir, what can I get you?" This man seemed so familiar. It couldn't be him could it?
"Just a coffee and a chocolate cookie please" She busied herself serving the man. Once he was given what he wanted and had paid he turned to leave. But quickly whipped around staring into those familiar chocolate eyes. "A local told me you might be able to help since many people come here" he looked around the empty shop. It was still early. "I have a friend and I have her address I was wondering where its located and if you might know her?"
Hermione quickly panicked what if he was looking for her. NO I don want to go back she yelled at herself. "Umm-uh- ok an I have a look at that address?" He handed her a slip of paper. Written on it was her address. "what did you say her name was?"
"Hermione- Hermione Granger" She felt all the blood drain from her body. (ok should I make a cliffy I mean it is 1.00 am and I am a wee bit tired. But since I am so happy that I passed this term with honors and all my other terms with honors I will continue)
"Harry" she whispered. "Sorry what was that?" the British man asked. "Oh nothing... About this address, it doesn't exist and I haven't heard of anyone by that name. I don't want to be a snoop nor anything but can I ask what happened?"
Harry drew a breath "Six years ago my best friend "disappeared"; believe she ran away since she was going through a terrible stage. Lots of people really miss her and when I am not working I search for her whereabouts. A friend tipped me off on this. I really miss her –heck- we all miss her. But I have this strange feeling since she has been gone. I feel like I am missing something in my life. Nothing seems to fill it and just to see her again and talk to her again would be so nice." She made an understanding face. Oh my god she thought, Harry feels incomplete without me?
He scrunched his face up and spoke again "you seem so familiar you also seem so alike to her, but your missing the British accent. I am Harry by the way."
"Anna, pleasure to meet you. Sorry about your dilemma. Harry it sounds as though you might have some feelings for Miss Granger. And Harry se l'ama l'ha lasciato va. Se è significato per esserlo lei ritornerà." The words flowed out her mouth so perfectly. He gave her a quizzical stare and she laughed and translated. "If you love her let her go. If its meant to be she will return." Harry parted goodbye and left back into the storm. Harry's words rang through her head and made her feel confused.
By evening she had closed down the shop and was waking back home. The storm was over and it wasn't snowing a few boys were out playing in the newly shoveled streets playing soccer. "Ciao Anna" They kicked the soccer ball to her. She laughed and kicked it around between her feet and shot it to a player "Ciao ragazzi" she waved to them and told them to come by the shop soon to have a hot chocolate.
She walked toward her small two story home. It was painted in neutral colors. A small couch, armchair and coffee table occupied the family room. She had a small kitchen even though she hardly used it. On the second floor a bedroom and bathroom and a study. She unlocked the door, kicked off her shoes, and walked to the kitchen. She pulled out a wine glass and filled it halfway with a sweet smelling red wine. She grabbed her favorite book switched on her gas fireplace and sat in the armchair reading. The next day seemed the same as every other only it marked a week until Christmas. She hated it since she spent it all alone every year (little does she know...can't say sorry) Harry passed by the shop again but he made his conversation short. He ordered then quickly got to a table and studied her for most of the mourning. She had her usual night routine but tonight she fell asleep on the couch.
She was awakened by knocking on the door. Slumping through the hallway she mumbled "I'm coming, I'm coming" she opened the door to be looking at two young men. One raven haired that she just saw early this mourning and the other had flaming red hair. Her old best friends. "Why Hermione it has been a while. We knew you were somewhere out there"
