Title: Surprises

On with the story….

Ch. 2 Meeting People

Hermione Granger walked through Diagon Alley searching for stores to buy her new books. She had managed to tame her bush of brown hair into some somewhat soft curls down her back. She hadn't changed much, expect now she was taller.

"Mione!" Hermione turned around and saw her two best friends waving at her through the crowd.

"Hey Harry! Hey Ron!" Hermione hugged them. "How was your summer?"

"It was great! I spent the summer at the Burrow." Harry Potter said, his emerald green eyes sparkling.

"Yeah Mione it was bloody brilliant, who knew Ginny was such a good chaser?" Ronald Weasley grinned proudly, is red hair out of control.

"That's awesome you guys." Hermione sad half-heartedly, inside she felt horrible. Hermione felt like crying, her hair blew in her face so they couldn't see her eyes water. Hermione, Harry, and Ron heard a shriek.

"Gohan! Stop it!" a girl cried as the boy next to her was pulling her hair off.

"well stop pulling my ear!" the boy protested, they then noticed she was pulling at his ear. Beside them an elderly lady was screaming at them.

"Both of you stop it! Don't make me pull out the FPOD (A/N- for those of you who don't know… it means Frying Pan of Doom/Death)" the woman scolded.

A little boy of about 8 years started yelling, "No! Not the FPOD!" the boy started running around in circles like the world was going to end.

"I'm hungry!" what looked like the grown up image of the little boy whined.

"Whoa, talk about family problems," Harry said as the woman chased the older boy that was fighting with the girl around, waving a frying pan in the air. The boy known as Gohan screamed in pain as his mother wacked him with the FPOD. Suddenly Blaise Zabini walked up to them and said hi as if he'd known them forever. After that he gave the woman a bear hug.

"Hey Gohan, hey Kaira." Blaise greeted, his blue eyes twinkling as he watched the humorous sight of Gohan rubbing his head after he had just been hit with the FPOD.

"Hey Blaise!" Gohan and Kaira said simultaneously. Hermione finally understood that they were twins.

"Hello Blaise," their father greeted.

"Hey Goku." Blaise greeted timidly. He seemed to be afraid of the big man.

"Are you still afraid of me?" Goku smiled goofily.

"No." Blaise smiled sheepishly.

"Ok lets go you guys." Gohan said, and the three walked off.

"Alrighty then, that was…odd." Ron said carefully.

"You can say that again." Harry rolled his eyes.

"They look pretty nice to me, if only they didn't hang out with a Slytherin." Ron spat the word as if venom.

"So Mione? How was your summer?" Harry asked.

"It was ok," Hermione said. "Nothing really happened except I got my driver's license. But that's it."

"That's cool." Ron said. "So are you staying at the Leaky Cauldron tonight?"

"Yep. I can't wait, in a few days we go back to Hogwarts!" Hermione squealed. They all laughed. "Come on lets go eat." They all headed to the Leaky Cauldron to eat lunch. The waitress came up and took their orders, soon the food was here.

"Oh god Ron, you eat like a bloody pig." Hermione scoffed, losing her appetite.

"Yeah Ron, you need to slow down or you'll choke." Harry tried not to laugh.

"Na-uh I won cho Mie I prose" Ron whined through a mouthful of food, Hermione looked like she was about to barf.

"Where's Ginny?" Hermione asked, Ron shrugged.

"Well I've got to buy the rest of my stuff now ok? Bye!" Hermione got up and left before Harry or Ron could protest.

"hermione!" Ron called after her, but she kept on walking. Hermione went to Flourish and Blotts and headed toward the Dark Arts section. She pulled out a book and began to read.

The Dark Arts has many complicated spells that cause much damage and can cause consequences to the person who casts the spell…

Hermione sighed and closed the book, she couldn't concentrate on anything right now. She bought a few spell books to study from and left the store. She walked around Diagon Alley thinking about everything. She really questioned about those people with Blaise. It seemed they were gonna go to Hogwarts, but it was still REALLY weird. Hermione suddenly spotted Lavender and Parvati walking in her direction. She walked into the first door she saw.

"What the heck? Where am I?" she whispered to herself. She finally realized she was in Ollivanders. She hadn't been in this store since her first year at Hogwarts. She pulled out her wand and examined it, but a voice interrupted her.

"Ah, Miss Granger, so nice to see you again." Mr. Ollivander greeted.

"Um..yeah. Hi." Hermione stuttered.

"I remember that wand; oak, 16 inches with a strand of werewolf hair. I'm not sure that's the right wand for you though my dear." Mr. Ollivander pondered. Finally he said. "May I see it?" Hermione handed him the wand without question. Ollivander took out a box with a wand in it. He took it out and examined it, then handed it to her. "Go on try it." he insisted.

"Wingardium leviosa," she did the swish-and-flick motion. A beam shot out and hit the plant which burst into fire.

"Not that one."

He handed her another one. As soon as she touched it, it glowed.

"Very interesting combination, 16 inches with a hippogriff feather and a basilisk scale. Looks like you will do great things." He smiled and went back to his office. Hermione looked at her wand. She felt more powerful with it, like there was an unknown power inside of her and had been awakened. She shrugged and started back for the Leaky Cauldron.

"So Kaira, Gohan, How was your summer?" Draco asked his two best friends. He had just met up with them and Blaise.

"Who cares? I want to get my wand now!" Kaira yelled in exasperation.

"Calm down Kaira." Gohan said, almost as if scared.

"She's right, they need a wand. Come on, lets go to Ollivanders." Blaise said. They walked to the old store of wands. Once they entered, Draco took in the must smell of the store and relived the memory of his first year, he sighed.

"Mr. Malfoy, Mr. Zabini, you haven't been here in a while." MR. Ollivander said. Draco just smiled. "Ah may I ask who these wonderful people are?"

"These are our friends, Gohan and Kaira. They've come to get a wand." Blaise explained.

"Well then, lets see what we have." Ollivander said. "We'll start with you first." he said to Kaira. He pulled out a wand and handed it to her. Red sparks flew out.

"Ok, how bout this one." he handed her another one, it backfired.

"Hmm.." he thought for a moment, then he went to the very back of the store and came back with two, very dusty boxes.

"Here try this one." He said in a low whisper. Once she touched it, a rainbow of sparks flew out. "I presume you're twins?" Gohan and Kaira nodded. Ollivander handed Gohan a wand that was identical to Kaira's. It also shot out a shower of colorful sparks.

"That's interesting. It is an amazing, yet terrifying combination. It is an 18 inch wand made from the bark of the Whomping Willow, with a thestral's hair and a dragon's scale. The both of you, no doubt .. will be powerful." Ollivander stopped then continued again. "You're not human, are you?"

"Of course we are." they said a little too quickly. Ollivander gave them and all-knowing smile.

"I will be seeing you." Ollivander smiled. They all walked out.

"That was creepy," Kaira said, shuddering.

"He's really nice though." Gohan added.

"Yeah he is, you guys should get to know him better, he can teach you a lot." Blaise said.

"So Gohan, how are you and Videl doing?" Draco said smirking, he knew exactly what was coming.

"Ugh! We aren't going out!" Gohan yelled exasperatedly.

"Yeah you are." Kaira said, her e yes glinting mischievously. Gohan blushed a deep red.

"Leave me alone." he said quickly.

"Fine." Kaira said.

"Well, well, if it isn't Potty and the Weasel. Lets go tease them." Draco cackled evilly.

"He seems to enjoy teasing people." Kaira whispered to Blaise.

"He's mad." Blaise replied quietly. Draco nodded in agreement.

"Why hello, Potty, Weasel. Where's your little bookworm?" Draco smirked.

"None of your freaking business, Malfoy." Ron said through gritted teeth.

"Come on Ron, let's go." Harry sighed.

"What did Granger finally get some sensed knocked into her thick skull and dump you?" Draco poked at them.

"Malfoy, leave us alone." Harry said venomously.

'What's wrong Potter?…" Draoc started but was cut off.

"Draco! Stop it!" Kaira butted in. She was kind of mad.

"Why?" Draco said.

"Because I said so." Kaira said.

"Why?"

"Just do it!"

"But…"

"Draco if you don't, I'll be forced to hurt you!" Kaira said warningly.

"OK! Ok!" Draco put his hands up in defeat. "I surrender." Kaira gave a satisfied smirk, Harry just snorted.

"Calm down Kaira," Gohan said. Kaira just rolled her eyes and walked off.

"Ok, I can tease you again," Draco laughed evilly. Gohan glared at him.

"Excuse me?" Gohan growled.

"Fine!" Draco crossed his arms in defiance. Harry and Ron just watched the scene unfolding before them.

"IS it me? Or is Draco scared of them?" Harry whispered to Ron. He just shrugged. Suddenly they found themselves talking to Blaise.

"…trust me, even I'm scared of them. They're like –inhuman." Blaise explained. Harry looked at him curiously.

"IF you don't know what I'm talking about now, you'll find out later." Blaise said as Draco, Kaira, and Gohan bickered.

"Well we're gonna go now… so uh, bye." Harry said. As soon as they left, Ron spoke up.

"Were we just talking to Blaise Zabini? A slytherin?"

"I.. I think so." Harry shuddered.

"Hey guys," Hermione arrived.

"Oh hey Mione!" Ron said.

"So what were you up to?" Harry asked.

"Nothin, bought a few books… same ole, same old." Hermione smiled.

"Cool, hey 'Mione I forgot to tell you something!" Ron said happily.

"Oh joy, what?" Hermione's voice was dripping with sarcasm.

"Well," Ron started not catching the sarcasm. "I'm going out with Lavender."

"Really?" Hermione said clearly uninterested. "That's nice."

"What's wrong Mia? You seem to be a little off." Harry asked in a brotherly way.

"Uh, no. I'm fine really." Hermione said.

"OK." Harry seemed satisfied.

"Come on we've had a rough day, let's go back to the Leaky Cauldron." Ron said. Harry and Hermione agreed. They finished a day.

Hermione woke up early that morning at around 6:00AM. She figured it would be impossible to go back to sleep. She got dressed into her green Green Day t-shirt and some black pants with her pair of black converse. Hermione tied her hair into a bun and shrunk her trunk and all her belongings and put it in her pocket. She went downstairs and ate some breakfast. She heard roars of laughter, so she turned around to see what was happening, and she saw the same two people who were fighting in Diagon Alley, plus Zabini and Malfoy. She groaned in frustration. But what caught her attention was that the twins ate about 100x faster and more than Ron. Hermione thought she was going to throw up.

"Oh Granger?" someone said in a sing-song voice, oh great, the ferret had spotted her. Malfoy and Zabini came over to her table.

"Why don't you come to sit with us?" Zabini smiled deviously.

"OK, when hell freezes over." Hermione spat.

"Come on, lets put our differences behind." Malfoy cackled, that confirmed that there was something very wrong.

"Piss off Malfoy!" Hermione was getting annoyed. Suddenly Gohan came to intervene.

"What is it with you and teasing people/" Gohan said.

"Its fun." Draco said. Gohan was getting annoyed also.

"Well you better stop, I'm freakin serious. " Kaira said, coming up from behind Gohan. Draco muttered a string of curses. Hermione caught something that sounded like "Saiyans… freakin stubborn."

"So um.. Hermione? Is it?" Hermione nodded. "You want to come eat breakfast with us?" Kaira asked.

"Ok." Hermione said sullenly, she moved her plate of pancakes to their table. They talked for a little while about all different kinds of stuff.

"Why am I eating breakfast with you?" Hermione came to realization.

"Cuz you think I'm devilishly handsome." Blaise triumphed. Milk came out of Kaira's nose as she laughed her head off.

"Hey Blaise got the joke. Hermione just watched in interest. He tried throwing a biscuit at her but she dodged it easily. He stuck his tongue out at her.

"Sad isn't it." Hermione heard Gohan whisper next to her. "They like eachother and they don't eve know it, kind of disturbing really."

"Wow," was all Hermione said.

"That's what I said," Gohan sighed as if he just finished saying his childhood story." So who are your friends at Hogwarts."

"Ron Weasley, Ginny Wasley, and Harry Potter." Hermione expected a huge out furst but received none, instead all she got was a 'that's nice' Hermione ate her breakfast peacefully and was soon full. She looked at Gohan and Kaira; they wer stuffing their mouths like pigs.

"Hey um Kaira?" Hermione questioned.

"Yeah?" Kaira stoped eating her toast in mid air.

"What does FPOD stand for?" Hermione said, she noticed Gohan shutter.

"Its stands for Frying Pan of Doom" Kaira explained.

"OH."

A little while passed and Hermione decided to go back upstairs. She looked at her watch and it was already 8:00 am 'Ron and Harry won't wake up til around 9:00 so I guess I'll just wnader around.

"Uh, thanks for breakfast. Nice meeting you Kaira, Gohan. Bye Blaise, and…" Hermione paused. "Draco." She got up and left.
