Chapter 2

The Most Recognized Dentists Society Concert

"Hermione dear, guess what your father and I just got! It's letter from the MRDS. I have no idea what that stands for, but oh well. It says that we've been invited to a concert at noon today. " Hermione's mother stood outside her door, jumping up and down like a kid.

"Oh, hey Mom. I think I've heard of the MRDS. If I remember correctly, it stands for Most Recognized Dentists Society. I heard that it is a great honor to get invited to one of their concerts."

"Really? I'm so excited. But the weird thing is that it says that kids are not invited. I wonder why."

Hermione tried to put a disappointed face on, but it was very hard to do considering the fact that her mother was falling for this so well. "Oh, I guess I'll live. You go on without me." Hermione put a hand on her forehead. She had never been one for acting, and she knew that she was not doing a very good job at it right then.

"Oh, Honey, I'm so sorry, but I guess there's a reason for it."

Hermione's mom walked back down stairs, leaving Hermione standing in the hallway rubbing her hands and muttering, "Oh yes, there's a reason."

"Bye Mom, bye Dad!" Hermione was standing by the door with her parents, hugging them goodbye.

"Take care of yourself while we're gone, dear. I'm sorry to be leaving you alone so long, Hermione, but we trust you."

"Well, take care of yourselves, too. I'll miss you too. Have a fun time." With that, Hermione shoved her parents out the door with one last wave. She then closed the door and brought her trunks down stairs and set them by the fireplace. She threw herself into a chair and watched the clock. The second hand crept around the clock, with the minute hand slowly ticking off the minutes until Ron's arrival.
