A/N: Yeah, I got the idea from a Calvin and Hobbes strip, I was wondering if someone would pick up on it. I was sitting reading it and then I was like, 'Hmm, I wonder…' and it picked up from there.
Luv much,

Chapter 2: Romeo and Hermione???
Hermione's Pov:
"Hurry it up ladies!!!" Ron called up the girls' staircase. It was a brisk November morning, and Ginny, Hermione, and their new friend Susannah were getting ready to face the day. "Geez, women." Ron muttered.
"I heard that Ronald Weasley!" Ginny shouted out the door. Ginny shut the door, and hurried back to the mirror the three were trying to share.
"Men." Susannah said in a stage whisper, making Ginny and Hermione giggle. Susannah had moved to London over the summer from America. She still had the Midwestern drawl she acquired from living in Kansas City her entire life. She was quite different than the other student who had moved from America, she wasn't completely obsessed with Justin Timberlake, and Susannah was quite disappointed when no one but Hermione knew who Joaquin Phoenix, Harrison Ford and Paul Walker was. Susannah had tried to explain the whole concept of going to see a movie, but he got lost when she tried to explain the screen size. She didn't dress like them either. When they had first met on the train, Hermione was nervous about the lethal looking chain attached to her belt loop. She was carrying a rather lot of baggage, including a guitar case, a suitcase and a lime green trunk with witty stickers all over it, like, a messy room is a happy room, school is a nice place but I wouldn't want to live there and her favorite, tell me again how algebra is going to help me?
When Ron asked her what algebra was, she leaned over and said, 'You live in a very happy world, my friend.' When she struggled into the compartment, Harry automatically jumped and helped her. Their eyes met, green on green. They had been together ever since.
This morning, her robes were open to reveal a recreational league volleyball t-shirt, baggy camouflage cargo pants, and an assorted number of necklaces. Her Gryffindor gold and red tie loosely tied at her neck. She brushed back her waist length wavy black hair, outlined her eyes carefully in black eyeliner, and flumped down on the bed to wait for the other two.
Hermione was picking up cues from Susannah, and now she too used eyeliner at Susannah's suggestion. She stroked a brush through her hair so it didn't look as though she had touched an electric socket, pinned a few strands back and flopped down next to Rory. After a few minutes, Ginny declared herself done and they all hurried out of the room.
Susannah slid down the rail and straight into Harry's arms, at which Ron looked, disgusted and declared they needed to get a room. Susannah stuck her tongue out at him and gave Harry a kiss on the cheek, at which Harry blushed.
"Are you two quite done?" Hermione said. Harry and Susannah joined hands and the group clambered out of the portrait hole and down to the great hall.
*
In the great hall, the crew was up to there usual antics. Harry and Susannah holding hand and talking, Ron fake gagging at them, Ginny and Hermione discussing Ginny's up and coming O.W.Ls, when, as Hermione leaned over to get some omelet, she felt odd. Watched.
Slowly she turned and saw Draco Malfoy staring at her. At first glance he looked as though he had a bad stomachache, but when she looked closer, she thought he was looking at her…lovingly?
"Hey Ginny, what is Malfoy doing over there?"
Ginny looked over. "Dunno. Looks like he has a bad stomachache 'Mione." She returned her attention back to her french toast.
Hermione pondered on it a little bit more, and then turned her thoughts to her Arithmancy homework.
