A Meeting to Remember You By

It was a sunny Friday afternoon in June, but Everett Grace Wilson wasn't among those enjoying their summer vacation. Instead, she was stuck on a train that had made her twenty three minutes late and counting. For the fourth time since she sat down, three hours earlier, she checked herself in the mirror.

"Not bad" she thought as she fiddled with her hair. Her green eyes shone bright despite her slightly lit compartment and her blonde hair was slightly curled as it laid calmly on her shoulders. She was sixteen, but she rarely reached 5'5" despite her trademarked three inched heels.

"We would like to apologize for our lateness" a heavily accented voice boomed throughout Ev's compartment, "but we have reached our destination- London, England." Ev stood up and was about to take her bags down when a large man ran into her compartment and grabbed her bags before she got the chance to. "Jason" she said, a little disappointed. "Sorry Ev, but I'm just doing my job." He honestly looked sorry, so all she did was frown. "Don't worry about it, it's no problem."

With one last jolt, the train finally came to a stop. Ev turned around and took a glance out the window. She turned back towards Jason and said, "You'd better get going. I'll meet you at by the car." He seemed a tad bit uncertain, but he left her anyways.

After ha had closed her compartment door, she went back to where she was sitting and sighed. Form out of her backpack, she took an orange sarong and wrapped it around her outfit. She then put on a jean jacket and a pair of sunglasses. She looked down at herself and let out an even longer sigh.

"What I wouldn't give to be normal!" she said a little annoyed.

Because she had waited so long to leave the train, there was no one around her as she walked down the streets of the station. "And Jason thought that I'd be in trouble." Ev walked down the empty sidewalks through the station pulling her black rolling bag with her. She was about to remove her glasses when out of the corner of her eye, she saw three teenagers who seemed to be about her age.

"Crime!" she thought to herself. She put her head down and continued to walk down the sidewalk. As they got closer, she began to hear pieces of their conversation.

She heard a girl's laugh soon joined with a boy's laugh. "Great, just another thing to add to my list of embarrassing moments" said a new voice. Ev saw the brown haired girl exchange glances with the black haired boy, and once again they cracked up laughing. "He's pretty cute," she thought to herself as she looked at the black haired boy. He had jet-black hair that seemed to have a life of its own, a pair of glasses that normally would have looked geeky, but seemed to fit him well. Before the red haired boy could say anything else, they were approached by a large and assorted group of people. By this point, Ev was intrigued by what was going on. She stopped up against a wall and pretended to be looking for something in her bag as she watched the scene before her. The three teens, mixed with the assorted group of adults, approached a very interesting looking family; there was a very large, beefy man, his scrawny wife, and his very obese son. Menacingly, a very scarred man approached the family, and from what Ev could comprehend, threatened them very well.

Through the group, Ev could see a frantic Jason. "Oh great, I'm late. Jason is going to kill me," she said in a very singsong voice. She quickly picked up her stuff and with one last glance at the shrinking crowd, she began to run towards Jason. When she was only a few feet from the group that she had been watching for twenty minutes, she once again lowered her head and quickened her steps- right into a crack.

"Oh no!" was all she could mutter as she feel towards the ground. She clenched her eyes shut praying that Jason wouldn't murder her just as she felt a pair of arms wrap around her saving her from a very painful fall.

A few moments had passed as she heard "You can open your eyes, you know?" The voice sounded gentle, so she slowly cracked open her eyes. To her amazement, she was staring into the gorgeous green eyes of the blacked haired boy that she had been secretly crushing only a few minutes earlier.

"Hi" was all that Ev could say. He smiled at her, but then his face became nervous. She followed his eyes only to reveal that her sarong lay forgotten on the pavement revealing her very short, tight black dress. The boys arms were placed at the back of her neck and very low on her back.

"Oh" she said rather embarrassed. With the boy's help, she stood back up again and tried to assess the situation. In front of her was the brown haired girl, the red haired boy, along with the misfit group and family. They all wore rather confused expressions, and all their eyes were on her. Ev looked down at herself, her black halter dress that had a v-neck all the way down to her belly button. "Oh great, just great!" was all that Ev could say.

"I'm really sorry about this, I, umm…" Before she could finish explaining, Jason finale found her. He placed his arms on her shoulders and began to look over her, searching for any damage. "Jason, Jason, JASON!" She nearly shouted. "What? Oh, sorry. Its just that you didn't come when you were suppose to, and the last time that happened, well…." It was then that Jason noticed the crowd before them.

"Jason" she said, "please go get the car, and I'll explain everything."

"Whatever you say Miss. Ev."

"Thanks Jason."

Once again Ev turned her attention towards the group before her. "Um, lets see how I can explain this. I am so sorry about disrupting your conversation, but please be quiet. The last thing that I need right know is my face on the tabloids." Before she continued, she looked at the faces before her. Only the interestingly weird family seemed to understand.

"Excuse me? Who are you? And why are you so worried?"

Ev turned her face and looked at the red haired boy. She was completely surprised that someone didn't know who she was. "Are you trying to tell me that you don't know who I am?"

"Yea?"

A huge smile broke across her face. Suddenly, she jumped up and hugged the boy. After she let go and straightened out her outfit, she said, "Thank you. It has been so long since she someone has said that."

Ev finally noticed that everyone seemed deeply confused. "DO any of you know who I am?" Ev asked a little uncertain.

Only the brown haired girl seemed to understand. "Oh! Don't worry about it," she said.

"Hermione" the red haired boy said, "What in the world are you talking about?"

"Honestly Ron! I'll explain it to you later." The girl once again turned her attention back to Ev. Don't mind them. They're always a little out of it. What do you expect, they're guys."

Ev giggled, it had been so long since she had had a normal conversation with someone. "Yea, I get what you're saying." She noticed Jason pull up in the car. "I'd better get going, my ride's here. Thanks again. Have a nice vacation." She picked up her bags and began to walk away when she suddenly stopped, and turned back around. Ev dropped her bags at the feet of the black haired boy, stood on her toes, and kissed him on the cheek. "Thanks for catching me." She picked up her bags again, and raced after Jason.

The three teenagers watched as the girl jumped into the black town car that had just driven up. The red haired boy named Ron was the first to speak. "Hermione, would you mind explaining what just happened?"

She rolled her eyes before she responded. "That was Everett Wilson, she's the most popular singer in the muggle world. The last time she was seen in public unprotected, there was an attempted kidnapping. Everyone has been on high alert since that. Now that I think about it, what I've read about the kidnapping attempt, it seemed to almost magical. We should bring it up with Professor Dumbeldore the next time that we see him."

"Whatever you say Hermione" was the only response that she got.

And with that, the three teens started their summer vacation; all of them had the strange girl on her mind.
