Chapter 2: Muggle Shopping

"Then who's driving?" Ron asked puzzled.

"Well, you see I am a muggle so what do you accept, come on Ron." Hermione said.

"Yeah Ron, what did you accept?" Harry asked.

"Oh shut up." Ron said and turned a scarlet color. "But, when did you learn to drive?" Ron asked after a few seconds.

"Well, being in Paris for the summer and being all alone, I had to get around somehow while mum and dad where at work."

Hermione said and she looked at her watch and said,

"Come on, we can pick something up for breakfast."

She grabbed a bag and they said goodbye to Mrs. and Mr. Weasley.

"Where are we going first?" Ron asked her after stopping at a local McDonald's and getting some breakfast.

"We are going to the book store first." Hermione said with a grin.

"Typical…" Harry mumbled.

"What was that?" Hermione said and she looked at Harry with daring eyes.

"Nothing, nothing." Harry said.

Hermione drove to a book store entitled 'Coas' and then went inside.

"Have you ever been here before miss?" A man said,

Hermione guessed around their early 20s.

"Yes, I have and should still have an account."

"Name and address please."

"Hermione Granger, 200 South Pine."

"A or B?"

"A."

"Yes, you do have an account here Miss Granger."

"Thank you." Hermione said and they searched all of the bookshelves for something appealing.

"When did you ever come here?" Harry asked.

"When I was little and stayed with my aunt on summer breaks and when summer break was going on at

Hogwarts."

"Oh," Harry said and paused and picked up a book,

"Hey what do you think about this one?" Harry said.

Hermione took a closer look at the book; she had read and returned this book.

"Hey, I've read this…" She said and opened the book to find her worn signature.

"Wow, I wonder how long this has been here." Hermionemummbled.

Soon, they found Ron and got coffee at the coffee shop at the bookstore and went window shop.

"Maybe I should get mum and dad an anniversary gift." Ron said.

"When is it?" Hermione asked.

"In a few days, the fourth I think." Ron said.

"Yeah, you might." Hermione said and smiled.

"Come on, let's go into this shop!" Hermione said after they parked the car and started to walk around.

"Oh, no… 'The Gin' yeah bet it full of retro stuff…" Harry said.

"Come on… it won't be that bad." Hermione said and she opened the door. As the walked in, a heavy smell of incense and tea flew over them.

"Reminds me of Trelawny's room." Ron said and shuddered.

"Hey, look at this Ron." Harry said and he pointed out little bowls of different figures.

Hermione wandered over to the books and started to look around. Before she knew it, she had found four different books that she found interesting.

As she reached for a book that was entitled, 'Sight: A gift and a Curse' she felt a hand on hers and she looked up to see a dark haired man that was slightly taller than she was.

"Oh, excuse me." He said.

Hermione just started… she had seen this guy before, "Do I know you?"

"I don't think so; I would have remembered such a lovely face."

She smiled and blushed a light red. "I am Brain and you are--"

"Hermione… Hermione Granger, nice to meet you."

"And you too Hermione."

She glanced over her shoulder to see Harry and Ron throwing things at each other, "I have to go… good bye," Hermione said slowly and she took one of the copies behind the book and she went over to Ron and Harry and they paid and left.

"Who was that Hermione?" Ron asked her when they where back in the car.

"I don't know… but I felt… feel as if I know him from somewhere…"

"Yeah, somewhere in dream land." Harry said.
