Well here's chapter 2. I had to change this chapter a little taking into consideration book six. I have decided that this story(the HP part any ways) will take place in book 6.
Discaimer: well…if I must…I don't own Harry Potter. If I did, I would keep him chained up next to Draco Malfoy and…Oops! Let my mind wander and see where it goes?
Chapter 2"But I thought- if it at least it existed- wasn't this in England?" Rambling was yet another thing she never did that she found herself doing for the first time today.
"Yes," said Ranee, obviously amused, "Yes, it was and still is. Just now you traveled from New York to England in one step" she seemed to enjoy watching the amazed look on every one's face.
"Is this any thing like Traveling in that book The Wheel of Time?" asked Remembrance. Hermionie was shocked that she would remember such things, let alone compare them with real life. "The Wheel of Time books are complete fantasy," said Renee a little too suddenly. "They are nothing like the Harry Potter books and that stuff just doesn't exist" she said this almost with hatred.
After this out burst she turned around and stalked up the street telling them to follow her up the street. Hermionie never thought that an adult would act that way. She exchanged looks with Remembrance and Andromida. They shrugged and followed the woman up the street.
Mem looked around at the shops as she followed Ranee up the street. It seemed to her that every thing was exactly as described in the Harry Potter books, except that the place was almost deserted and posters were every where talking about safety precautions to help keep your home relatively safe.
"Michelle, did you see the Weasley twins' shop back there?" she heard her father ask her mother, reflecting that he had the same thoughts as Mem.
"Of course," said Ranee, "the reason the Harry Potter books were written to make people believe that it could not possibly be true. Of course there is the occasional obsessed fan who is completely convinced that it is real, but they are considered crazy by society at large." At this point all three girls exchanged glances giggling. They had been some of those "obsessed fans" ever since they had been introduced to the series.
"So are the spells the same?" asked Hermionie.
"For the most part they are the same as in the books. The movies are way off of course. Never trust Hollywood." She actually mumbled this last sentence with anger in her voice. Mem shrugged it off. This woman was sensitive.
"Here we are," said Ranee as they arrived on the great snowy white steps of Gringott's. "You will need to exchange your money for wizard currency. Luckly they do exchange American money, and luckly I reserved enuff money for your school supplies or else we would be in line for hours."
They walked up to the first doors and Renee pointed to the ingraving saying "do you see what it says. It is a warning to allwho go in. It says—" but Hermionie, Mem, and Romi interrupted, and said together without looking at the inscription:
"Enter stranger but take heed,
Of what awaits the sin of greed.
For those who take but do not earn,
Must pay dearly in their turn.
So if you seek beneath our floors,
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief you have been warned, beware,
Of finding more than treasure there."
A/N: I typed that without looking at the book. I'm such a freak! I've also memorized the sphinx's riddle and the prophesy. Hehehe!
"You three," said their mother. "How many times do I have to tell you to stop doing that in public? Just because you know by heart what is engraved on the doors, or the sphinx's riddle or the prophesy doesn't mea--"
"You three know the prophesy by heart?" interrupted Ranee. All three nodded their heads, wondering why she was whispering. "don't let people know that," she continued, "don't recite it in public. If that prophesy falls into the wrong hands…" she did not finish her sentence, but Mem got the idea, and from the looks on the other's faces, they understood too.
"Now," she said, suddenly changing the subject, "I will go inside to get the money. You all just wait out here and don't wander off, it's just not safe any more." With that she turned around to walk in the door. But right before she stepped through she stopped and smacked herself in the forehead. Turning back around she said, "I almost forgot! We have a fifth year girl here today that will help you. Ah! Here she comes. I'm sure you three know who she is, considering you are fans of the books."
Sure enough, coming up the steps was the last person that the girls had been expecting to see. A girl with wavy, dirty blond hair hanging to her waist and wide, protuberant eyes.
"Hello," said the girl almost out of breath from the clime," I'm—"
"Luna Lovegood," interrupted Mem. "Your father is the editor of the Quibbler. I am Mem, my sister with the blue eyes is Romi--"
"There names are Remembrance and Andromida," mumbled Hermionie.
"And the one grumbling back there is Hermionie. But her name is spelled different than Hermione Granger's," she explained. "Her name ends with 'ie' instead of just 'e' like hers. But it still might get confusing. Oh well."
Would you not do that? Hermionie Thought at Mem. The rest of us would like to talk to them! Mem did not understand why Hermionie was mad at her.
So, what do you think so far? If you are a silent reader I ask you to please review, I need to know if I should continue to write this. I hope the whole Hermione, Hermionie thing was not too confusing.
The section where I respond to my reviews!
MichelLover67: my first reviewer. Thanks for pointing out my mistake.
Yusagi: no, the girl's last name is not al'Thor, it's Glines. If you noticed Ranee was not talking to the triplet's parents, but another couple.
