A/N: Well heres the second part. I hope you like it
It had been two days since Hermione had sent off the letter to Ron Weasley. She was sitting at lunch with her two co-workers and best friends Devin and Norma. She was quiet for the most part of the meal.
"Jane what's wrong with you?" asked Norma
"What makes you think that there is something wrong? " She asked looking up from her plate of salad
"Well you have been quiet and keeping to yourself since yesterday" said Devin
"You know you can tell us anything" added Norma
Hermione looked at her two best friends for the past three years. She thought of how much she was keeping from them and she felt guilty about everything. When she had came from England she was only seventeen, a month shy of her eighteenth birthday. Within a week she had found an apartment that she could afford, and a job. But she still didn't know any places or people in New York City. Sure she had read about the city in England, but it was quit different when you actually got there.
Devin and Norma had been working at the library for a month before Hermione got there and were attending NYU. They accepted her into their group the very first day. Every night after that they would go to a coffee shop a block away from the library and hang out for hours They had also accepted the story that Hermione given them. She had told them that her name was Jane Granger and that back in England she had attended St. Ann's, an all girl school. After graduating from St. Ann's she had felt that there was more to the world than the little town she lived in. So she packed up her things and came to New York City.
"Jane?" Devin had pulled her out of her thoughts. She had made up her mind to answer their questions truthfully, no matter where it lead to.
" Two days go I received an invitation to a weeding. Someone from my past."
"Who was it? An old boyfriend? asked Norma
" No an old friend" answered Hermione "Well that's good. Are you going?"
" yeah I guess so. I can't just stand him up" Hermione said playing with one of her tomatoes.
"Is there a problem with that? Asked Devin, who had been looking at her
"Like I said he was from my past, and I thought he was going to stay there. I thought he would never find me."
"Wait a minute" said Norma surprised "You were trying to hide from this guy? Why?"
"Did he try to hurt you or something?" asked Devin
"Physically no, emotionally yes. The point is I gave up everything to run from him and Harry. To try and forget them and start a new life."
"There were two guys!" Norma said, her mouth open.
"What do you mean you gave up everything?" asked Devin
So Hermione told them everything. About her real name, about being a witch, about Hogwarts and about Harry and Ron. When she finished both Devin and Norma were silent. Then, to Hermione's shock, they looked at each other and started to whisper. When they were done they looked up at Hermione.
"Well Miss Granger, we suspected that there was something different about you" said Devin
"But we always thought you did not want to talk about it" said Norma
"For you see-"
"Devin and I-"
"Are a witch and a wizard"
Hermione stayed quite for a moment, trying to let what they said sink in. It was very hard. "Wanna run that by me again"
"We're witches" Norma said with the smile still on her face.
"Wow I never suspected" she said simply.
"So these Harry and Ron, they would be Harry Potter and Ron Weasley?" asked Devin
"Yeah that's them"
"Well that interesting. You know that they are very successful aurors, even though they only started a year ago." Norma informed Hermione
"No I had no idea. But it doesn't surprise me. They were very good in Defense Against the Dark Arts. Harry taught a defense club in school actually. We were known as the D.A, Dumbledore's Army." Hermione had a small smile on her face now.
" And I heard he and Ron were excellent Quidditch players" said Devin
"Yeah they were. Ron was always obsessed with it. He dreamed of being on the house team. He got his wish in fifth year. Harry on the other hand was a born Quidditch player. He got on the Gryffindor team first year, he didn't even have to try out, that's how good he was. He was the youngest to get onto the house team in a century. And boy could he fly a broomstick." Hermione's smile was getting wider as she spoke.
Suddenly Norma burst out laughing. Hermione looked from her to Devin, who had a smile on his face
"What?" she asked puzzled
"Isn't it obvious?" Norma said controlling herself. "You have a thing for Harry Potter" At that Hermione blushed like crazy. "I knew it" Norma said practically jumping out of her seat.
"So tell me" said Devin, ignoring Norma. Hermione looked at him gratefully. "Are you ready to go back to England?"
"No not really. I haven't seen Ron in three years and I know I've disappointed people I care about by leaving"
"When is the wedding anyway?"
"Christmas day"
"Hey I have an idea? Norma said suddenly. "The library is going to be closed from December 20th to after the New Year. Why don't Devin and I come with you. We've been saving to go to England actually, and now would be a perfect time."
"yeah. We could go to all the sites and to Diagon Alley. I've always wanted to go there. And we would be there for you."
"You guys would really do that for me?" Hermione asked smiling
"Of course we would Jane. What are friends for: said Norma
Suddenly their boss, Miss Beale, appeared at the staff room door. "Lunch hour over guys"
