I do not claim any of the following sites or Fanfics as my own... these also are some of my favvys so take no downcast.. its for story purposed only and in any plot lines mentioned I am not mentioning any specifics *as most of these I've seen over 2 dozen similar*
Chapter Three: Of Movies, Books and the World of Fanatics.
She coughed and laughed hysterically, the shock of what was happening wearing off to joy... as everyone continuing staring at her she let in a reply. "Well.. errr.. as a matter of fact there are. I mean there are quite a few"
"What do you mean?" Moody's regular eye narrowed on her... she was glad his bowler hat was over the other.
"Well..." she took a deep breath and rose her self up, "Order's only been out a week and ummm its sold about... now mind you this is just a rough estimate of what I've heard... 8 million"
Moody cursed, Tonks cracked up, Remus shook his head and the trio just stared.
"You mean to say 8 million people read about us?" choked Ron.
"Well no," Here she was beaming again "because.. well almost everyone has picked up Philosophers stone... I mean hundreds of millions of people have read that one. Its like all over the news, not to mention with the addition of the movies and.."
"Movies?!" Ron squeaked.
"Um yes. Though I have to say you look an awfully cuter then the actor, Harry much more.. well dashing, and Hermione exactly how I thought she would. I'm very glad to see the well adults here look better too. Re- I mean Professor Lupin in the upcoming movie looked well... nothing like you.
"So they've gone and made movies about us have they, just wonderful... more publicity." Harry grumbled.
"Now Harry..." Hermione put a hand on his shoulder.
"Oh come on Harry its alright...." Ron sighed to.
"I'm sorry..." Ilyan looked down.
Moody cleared his throat, "What I want to know is how this Rowling kept all this from our world. Harry? Hermione neither of you heard anything about this? You live in the muggle world. This couldn't be some death eater scheme. I mean how do we-"
Tonks broke in, "Oh Mad eye just shush. Now Hermione anything?"
"Not me. My parents watch the tele but I mostly read. Though now that I think about it..." suddenly Hermione's eyes lit up "That is strange suddenly I remember all the gatherigs at our library about just this... but I could swear moments ago there was nothing what so ever I could even think of about it." Mione looked down puzzled and scowling.
Harry just shook his head, "Not even a mention... and with Dudley around no wonder. I was suprised when he got that Lord of the Rings film and watched it, his parents freaked... what with wizards and all... though I do admit Gandalf did have a strange likeness to Dumbledore.. I can imagine they'd freak if they were making movies about me."
"Especially one that held the most grossed in any movie for a while.."
"WHAT!?" they all yelled.
"Er sorry..."
"Whats next... action figures?? Fanfics? People playing as us?" Harry raised up his hands in exasperation.
Ilyan sunk deep into her chair turning an even deeper red, "Well as for that...."
"Your not telling me" Ron stared.
"Umm well the action figures just went on sale a while back... and the people playing you... I mean but being Hermione is so much fun. And if you make up your characters too sometimes... though I mean I always prefer Mione or George.. though sometimes when we play in the Maurader's age I play myself... though I'm never as bad as Mari who absolutely loves Re-" she realized what she was saying and shut up quickly dying under the glances of the others.
Moody, Lupin and Tonks just shook their heads and returned to there seats whispering quietly about the problem at hand leaving the teens to themselves.
"Alrighty then... " Ron just kind a looked away slightly in shock at the mad muggle girl.
"You've played us? Did I hear you correctly?" Mione just looked at her.
Blushing deeper, "Well in RPG's I've always liked your character... err I mean you. See my friends say I'm a lot like you. I mean, at school I love to study and such, and I'm quite simlar in book choices and life and everything... and..."
"Oh no not another one.." Harry sighed tiredly.
"Yes and when we play I'm always you if I can be your character... I mean your so cool! Speaking of... do you have your copy of Hogwarts a History? Now that I know its real I've always wanted to read it so much... and I realize I'm a muggle but it sounds so fascinating!"
"Oh yes! Its right..." Hermione dug through her own bag and pulled out a huge dusty leather bound book handing it to her, "here. There you go... just give it back before well we separate.. or maybe I could just send an owl?"
"That would be bloody brilliant." she thumbed through the pages after it was handed over the ducking Harry.
"Yep... most defiantly Hermione alright." Ron nodded.
Harry finally butted in to the two girls talking over him, "Err yeah.. right." They stopped and blinked at the interference. "I'm sorry, but you said movies and such... so errr what else exactly have they said about us? You mentioned Fanfics?"
Here she cracked up laughing to the surprise of them all. "Yeah... yeah lots of those...." she kept laughing as everyone stared at them until she gained composer.
"So what exactly do you mean?" asked Ron.
"Well errr... fans go and write um... what they think will happen." here she got a very mischevious smile. "Want me to show you?"
They nodded hesitantly as she pulled out a lap top from her bag. "Da got this for me last year... as he is rarely around. I know Hermoine here and Harry probably know about them but there errr like small books that you can use to post things and err yeah surf for fans and such." Ron just nodded as the other two looked in interest as she began to pull up her pages.
"Yeah Dudley has and had one of those, though her rarely uses it. Probably to dense." muttered Harry.
"I know what you mean. Mum and Da offered to get me one but as I couldn't use it at Hogwarts I saw no real use, and I don't really use them much anyway."
"I'm not surprised..." Ilyan opened up a couple of her favourite sites, first a forum, then typing in fanfiction.net and last Elfwood. Then looked into the Harry Potter fics. The trio's eyes widened as she flipped through. Then fainting after page after page of "Hermione and Draco, Draco and Harry, Ron and Cho, and similar situations. As Hermoine saw the first one including her and Malfoy she actually gave a slight scream and Ilyan laughed.
"The...they... actually think I would... " she just stared.
"Errr not just you 'Mione... me too...." Harry was turning a slight green tint on the edges.
"OI! Harry look!" Ron pointed to one bearing the title "The Triangle: Will Harry choose Ron or Malfoy?" He looked away in terror making a retching noise.
'Mione suddenly screamed even higher and Ron placed a hand on her shoulder, "What is it?" Reading the thread he let out a yell too. "Snape????"
Harry just looked repulsed as Ilyan cracked up.
"Well some are very good actually. Mostly its just what they would like to happen and some are interesting reads. I really like that one there that 'Mione's looking at" the others just stared blankly appearing slightly ill.. "And there are some normal ones... with just like what happened in-between the lines. Because there are awfully long parts that don't say anything.. I mean months." as she continued to scroll down, then decided to open up the Elfwood page with the unresponsive group.
As she showed them the many tours and pictures they watched fascinated this time.
"I have to say they do think me quite well... handsome if I do say so myself..." said Ron smiling, "Oh and look here... the tour dedicated to The Maginficent Weasley!"
"Oh but all the tours about me!! People actually think I'm interesting! And this one shows me practically pretty This one is really excellent I must say..." Hermione just looked in fascination at the works.
"But look at this some one actually LIKES Snape... ewww and they put him in with the Ma..Mauraders... " Harry's face went grey at the mention and lips went tight. Everyone... even Ilyan looked warily at him
"Are you going to be all...alright? Harry?" Hermione looked hesitant and Ron was backing off near Ilyan trying to get out of the way.
Harry just nodded and gave a small chuckle looking on.
Remembering all the Sirius pics as they reached his tributes she quickly changed the site before reaching them and moved into some of her forums at which all of them laughed at the thought of a mini Hogwarts which people post in.
"This is wicked! I mean look at all this stuff. I can't believe we have such a big following none the less of muggles! Err hey Ily whats that?" Ron suddenly pointed to a box that popped up.
Ilyan grinned and suddenly , "Oh its just AIM... ohhhh and its Lauralyne too!" starts to type hectically then almost faints,
"Siliud Lauralyne! You'll never believe this.. the wizarding world is REAL!! I'M TALKING TO HERMIONE!!! and harry and ron are sititng her chatting with me. And they've got the invisibility cloak. And remus is just soooo cool... and Harry's just unbeielvably goodlooking as is ron.. i mean compared to Daniel Liz wouldn't know what to do... and then of course theres moody and tonks and its just unbeielvable you sooo sould be here"
She was about to press enter and then realized the others were reading over her shoulders when it dawned on her... "I can't post it can I?"
Hermoine put her hand on her shoulder, "Not really... I mean do you even think she would believe you? You can't tell the other muggles we exist. They may know but they think its just fantasy... I'm sorry."
"Hermiones right..." Harry just looked at her solemnly.
She nodded blinking tears away and cleared the message merely typing, "Sworry can't talk, wish I was there... miss you..." then signed off and closed the computer with a click.
