A/N: Okay these next two chapters were originally going to be one chapter but after "noodling" on it I have decided that it would be much better to just split it into two different chapters, this is one reason it has taken me soooo long to update, but hey u just want to read so do that, and if you feel so inclined you could review as well.

Mountain Dew or Pumpkin Juice:

The next day Hermione and Autumn were seated next to each other in Arithmancy. Hermione was bent over her table, diligently taking notes, her quill scratching across a sheet of parchment. Next to her Autumn sat with rapt attention drinking in every word Professor Vector said about the numerous numbers and charts that covered the board.

"Now for your homework that I am about to pass out you are to work with your table partner and it will be do on Monday."

Professor Vector said and began moving from table to table handing out rolls of parchment. Hermione unrolled hers and Autumn's glancing over the complex chart before re-rolling it and slipping it into her bag. Getting up they left the classroom and followed the flow of students to the Great Hall for dinner.

"So after dinner do you want to go to the library to get a start on our chart?"

Hermione asked Autumn as they walked down the marble stairs.

"Sure."

The two entered the Great Hall and made a beeline for the Gryffindor table finding Ron and Harry already seated and stuffing their faces.

"Gotta hurry,"

Harry mumbled around his mouth full of food as Hermione and Autumn sat down opposite them. Only that isn't quite how it came out, it sounded more like 'qwumba hurby'.

"Sorry missed that,"

Autumn said, laughter in her eyes.

"Gotta hurry,"

Ron clarified.

"Oh what's the rush?"

"Quidditch practice,"

Harry said, thankfully he had swallowed this time.

"Oh, well we have to go to the library to work on something for Arithmancy."

Hermione informed them while filling her plate. Next she reached for a pitcher of pumpkin juice and poured herself a glass. Autumn peered into the pitcher Hermione was holding.

"What is that?"

Autumn asked suspiciously.

"Pumpkin juice, it's really good."

She added when she saw the look on Autumn's face.

"Where can a girl find a nice cold Mountain Dew around here?

She asked looking into the pitcher Hermione was still holding.

"A what?"

Ron asked.

"A Mountain Dew."

She repeated at the look of confusion she saw on her new friends' faces.

"A pop,"

She said trying again. Still nothing but confused looks.

"A soda?"

"Oh,"

Hermione and Harry said together, Ron however was still completely lost having grown up in the magical world.

"No can get Autumn. First we're in England and we Brits don't have Mt. Dew or whatever, second we aren't in the muggle world and here the premiere drink is pumpkin juice so drink up."

Harry informed her.

"Ah, well in that case hand me the pitcher."

She said resignedly excepting the pitcher Hermione held out to her and pouring some of the burnt orange liquid into her glass. Cautiously she raised the glass and took a sip. Slowly setting the glass back down she looked at her friends.

"How about a water?"

"No problem."

Hermione said laughing at the disdainful look on Autumn's face.
