Chapter 3: "Hermione in America"
2 Days After the Platform:
Hermione Granger was sitting on her bed in her American hotel, listening to her CD player. She was so bored. She wanted to do something, anything. Anything to get her out of this stupid hotel. Fun. Ya...fun, thats what she needed. She got up off her bed and started towards the door, when she passed the bathroom. The door was open so you could see the bathroom mirror. She stopped and looked at herself. "God, I really need a change. I'm so...so ugly. I hate my hair and my bushy eyebrows" She sat there thinking for a minute then her face lit up with an idea and she bolted out of her room and down the hall towards her parents room.
"Mom? Dad, are you in there?" Hermione asked while knocking on the door.
"Yes, come in Hermione" said her mother in her usual flowing voice.
"What is it Hermione?", asked her dad with a worried tone as he saw her flustered face. Noticing what he was looking at Hermione said " Oh no, I just ran down the hall, but ya...i want to go get my hair cut and my eyebrows done", as she said this her parents looked at her with questioning looks. They never in a million years thought that their booksmart daughter would actually care about her looks.
"But why Hermione, you never cared about your looks before and besides why do you want your eyebrows done, I would think that would hurt really bad", said her father brushing his fingers across his eyebrows.
" I just wanted a change, you know, this is going to be my last year at Hogwarts and I just wanted tolook different, and besides if I do maybe...", she trailed off realizing that she was talking to her parents and they were giving her questioning looks as to why.
"Maybe what?" asked her mother and father in unison. " Oh nothing, but please can I, please, please, please?", asked Hermione in a very baby-like tone of voice.
"Ok, i guess it won't hurt for her to get alittle trim and her eyebrows done, I mean it dosen't hurt that bad", said her mother looking at her husband.
"Yeah, thankyou so much, I can't wait to see what i'll look like", she said as she was giving her parents each big hugs. "Just don't do anything too extreme, ok", said her father.
"I'll be back soon, Ok?", said Hermione leaving the room. Once she was out in the hall she said " I can't believe they actually let me do anything to my hair, I haven't had my hair cut in 3 years!"
She walked out into the lobby hoping to ask one of the bellboys where a good hair place was. She spotted the same one that helped her with her bags the first day she was here. He was really cute. She walked up to him as he turned around. " Hi, remember me, well probably not, anyways I was just wondering if you know any good hair places around here, seeing as i'm not from this country".
He looked at her for a minute or two and said " Hi, ya I remember you, and ya theres this great little shop that I get my hair done at its called Wild Hair, and where are you from?", he said/asked as he looked into her big brown eyes.
She just looked at him as he spoke, her mind in mush as he looked at her. She finally saw something that looked like a hand being waved in front of her face. Snapping back to reality, "Oh, sorry but Ok, Wild Hair, where is that? And i'm from London." she said trying to get the dazed look off her face.
"It's on the corner of 3rd and Main, and thats cool i've never meet anyone from London before, especially not anyone as pretty as you." he said as she blushed.
"Ok, wheres 3rd and wheres Main?" she asked alittle confused, seeing as how her parents have only been taking her out of the hotel just to go and see Museums. They were fun for maybe the first two days but a week! Seriously. This was going to be the first time out of the hotel alone, and she was going to get lost.
"Well, how about I take you, I mean I get off in 10 minutes, I could take you down there so you don't get lost?" he asked trying to put on his charm.
"Oh, that would be great, thankyou so much!", she said feeling very relieved that she wouldn't get lost.
" Ok, wait over there and i'll come to get you once I get off", he said gesturing to a nearby chair. "OK", she replied.
Hermione sat on the chair watching her escort walk away into the back room. Then her mind suddenly flashed back to the moment on the Platform where her and Harry had kissed. It was the most wonderful feeling she had ever experieced and the best part was, was that Harry was the one that actually kissed her. She didn't think that he actually liked her but now, now it just proves that he feels the same way about her.
Then her mind wandered to why he hasen't written her. She had sent out 3 letters to him and Ron already. Ron was the only one to reply. Only, his letters contained nothing but Luna-filled information. Fluffy-Gushy stuff about her eyes and how her hair just glows in the moonlight. It was nice that he found someone. I just wish the Harry and I will have what he has. she thought to herself, not realizing that the cute bellboy was standing in front of her.
"Umm, are you ready to go?" he said with a questioning look on his face.
"W-What...oh ya, ya i'm ready", she said shaking off her thougths, just ready to have fun.
As they were walking down the street Hermione realized that she didn't even know this guys name. "Umm... I don't mean to be rude, but I don't even know your name." Hermione said.
"Oh, sorry, the names Matt, and I don't know yours either." he said
"Oh, well i'm sorry, i'm Hermione." Hermione said as they shook hands and kept on walking.
