"So you really left Hermione? I didn't think you had it in you." Ginny shrieked over the cell phone. Hermione laughed.
"Well I couldn't put the tickets to waste. Plus I'd feel like such a failure if I didn't have the guts to get away for a couple months." Hermione said.
"Yes, I'd probably have smacked you across the head. I'm incredibly jealous. First class must be brilliant, eh?" Ginny asked.
"Well it's the muggle's finest," Hermione exclaimed with a snort as she sipped her wine. All the sudden the flight attendant started talking. Hermione paused just long enough to hear they should be landing shortly and to turn off any electronic advices. "Oh Ginny! We're almost there so I have to be going. Wish me luck."
"Much luck Hermione. E-mail me or something later. Ta!" Hermione heard a click and slowly pulled her cell phone away from her ear turning off the power. This was it. Hermione took a look at the window and took a deep breath. "America, here I come."
1 Day Later:
Hermione couldn't believe it. She was in New York City in this incredible suite. Right now though the only thing on Hermione's mind was what was going to happen in approximately 5 minutes. At that time Hermione was supposed to report to this room downstairs to meet her bus companions (5 guys, 4 girls). Hermione sighed once more realizing how nervous she was.
"And damn it. Over-dressed too." Said Hermione out loud staring at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a khaki skirt with a Ralph Lauren pink shirt. I'm going on a bus trip. What am I thinking!
Hermione ran to the bathroom stripping as she walked. She hurriedly put on a pair of jeans and a navy blue tee. After glancing in the mirror a few times, the cuckoo clock to her left seemed to come in view.
"Man." Hermione realized she was almost six minutes late. It didn't help she was on the 26th floor and she had a phobia. Elevators.
It seemed to take forever to walk (even quickly) down the stairs. By the time Hermione reached the lobby no one was in sight. After looking around frantically, a lady tapped her back.
"You a person going on the bus?" The lady had a thick British accent and it kind of made Hermione miss her apartment and Ginny and her mom…Hermione snapped to her senses.
"Yes, I am. I was supposed to be here like 10 minutes ago."
"More like 15. Hurry now. The bus is parked in the front. Don't what to miss the bloody thing." The lady said. Hermione grabbed her bag and ran out to the front spotting a pretty big, white tour bus. She walked over and stood at the doors impatiently till the driver saw her and opened it up telling her to quickly find a seat. As the doors slid open Hermione took a look at her home for the next couple months. In the front there was a red couch and a TV. Right behind it was a mini-kitchen and door that said lavatory on it. There was another door behind that which Hermione assumed led to beds or something.
"Hey you. Find a seat chick. I'm Mary." Hermione looked at the woman. She was startlingly older than Hermione had assumed any passengers would be. She looked in her late 30's, possibly her early 40's. Hermione sat down on the couch.
"I'm Hermione. Nice to meet you."
The lady laughed. "My age surprise you, huh? Don't you worry. Me and Ted." She pointed to a man in his forties watching the television intensely. "Are the only oldies here. Then you got Sheila and Sarah. They're the blonde twins in the back. They're around your age. The other males are Donovan-weird chump with the fro and Ricky the Italian man. Mysteriously sexy." Mary chuckled. "Oh and there's the young lad in the back. He's quite a looker too! I think his name was-"
"Hermione Granger?" A man's voice interrupted Mary. Hermione turned around and gasped. There standing in front of her was a tall man with wavy blonde hair, striking blue eyes, and a dashing smile.
Draco Malfoy.
A/N: Okay, so the Draco part was a little obvious. But has he changed? What's hermione's reaction? Etc.
