Chapter 2: The Meeting

Hermione couldn't believe what she was seeing! It couldn't be! Another person from Hogwarts? No, maybe he had heard of it and is just trying to get answers from her. She didn't know what to think. She really didn't want to believe this, but something made her.

Witchygirl: What!

Sorcerer212: I knew you wouldn't believe me. But it's true. You have to promise not to tell a single soul. Promise?

Hermione made up her mind. Of course he was telling the truth! How could any muggle know about Hogwarts? Dumbledore had so many spells lined up to prevent this.

Witchygirl: Why would I tell a single soul? I go there too.

Sorcerer212: WHAT! Are you serious? OMG! This is so freaky!

Witchygirl: I know! What house are you in?

Sorcerer212: Gryffindor

Witchygirl: Me too! Wow! Maybe, we've even met sometime!

"Hermione! Would you please put that thing away and get to bed? We have a busy day tomorrow!" called Hermione's mother from downstairs.

Hermione strained, what was so important about tomorrow? She looked at her calendar. Of course! Tomorrow was the day to go get her supplies for Hogwarts. Was the summer really over?

Witchygirl: um… I have to go. I'm going to Diagon Alley tomorrow to but my supplies.

Sorcerer212: Really? So am I. Why don't we meet up? I really want to meet you.

Hermione thought, this would probably be a good idea. Finally meeting someone that she's charted with,

Witchygirl: That would be great! See you tomorrow then!

Sorcerer212: Alright, good night.

Sleep was peaceful that night. What was the chance that someone she chatted with for over a month, would end up being a wizard? Hermione couldn't stop smiling. This was truly magical!

The next morning, Hermione woke late. "Honey, you're going to be late if you don't get up soon enough!" Hermione's father was now at the bedside, literally pulling Hermione from her bed.

"I'm up!" said a dull voice.

"Well, you'd better hurry and get dressed! We're leaving in ten minutes!"

Hermione glanced over at the clock. It was almost 10:00! This year, The Hogwarts Express was scheduled to leave on the same day that student were getting there things. Hermione had exactly an hour to get ready, buy all her things, and catch the train.

She raced to the bathroom and brushed her teeth, almost knocking over all the shampoos and conditioners. Soon afterwards, she showered. She always used her Strawberry bathing kit. Within minutes she was ready to go. Packing last minute things, she heard the same sound on her laptop.

Sorcerer212: Are you there?

She was annoyed, why was he messaging her at this time? But she still walked over and replied,

Witchygirl: I'm here, but I'm in a rush. What do you want?

Sorcerer212: I was just checking to see if we were still meeting today.

Witchygirl: Yes, in front of the Flourish and Blots.

Sorcerer212: alright

Witchygirl: Oh and listen, I'm not going to take my laptop to Hogwarts. It's too big and it won't work anyway. But, I was able to bewitch my cell phone to work, so you can text message me at this number while we are at Hogwarts: 954-555-2648

Sorcerer212: That's a good idea. Here's my cell number: 305-555-2796

Witchygirl: I'll see you then.

She almost tripped while running downstairs. It was already 10:20! The train leaves at exactly 11:00! She refused breakfast and got in her parents Chevy. She was all set to go to Diagon Alley. All set to meet her internet buddy.

As they neared the pub, Hermione jumped out of the car and ran inside. She randomly tapped the bricks, and was surprised to find out that her combination was right. Once inside the alley, she went straight to Gringotts and withdrew some gold. She glanced down at her list and one-by-one, purchased all her supplies. She was now heading towards Flourish and Blots to meet sorcerer212. Surprisingly, no one was there. No one except Harry, who was just standing there, as if waiting for something. She didn't care. She walked over and said hello. Now they were both looking for Hermione's parents, who were left behind. Once they found them, Hermione mentioned that they needed to get to Kings Cross. It was already 10:45.

They arrived sometime around 10:55 and Hermione said goodbye to her parents with a hug and kiss. Harry and Hermione raced through the platform and got on the train just as it was about to take off. As usual, Hermione, Harry and Ron would sit at the back compartment. They found their friend, Ronald Weasley, already there and obviously joined him.

"Hey there Harry! Hermione!" he said as he saw them

"Hey Ron" Harry and Hermione both said together.

"Harry, how come you've never come over to visit? I called you a billion times! And you also Hermione." He looked over at her. It was clear that she was not listening.

Hermione's thoughts were somewhere else. She was deeply in thought of sorcerer212 . How come he hadn't met her? He was so sure in his message that he would be there.

"Hermione?" Ron said, now wondering what she could possibly be thinking of.

"Hmm? Oh yes! Now what were we talking about?" she tried to sound interested.

Both Harry and Ron exchanged unsure glances, this Hermione was different. Harry and Ron decided to leave the compartment. They wanted to meet up with Seamus and Dean. But Hermione didn't care. She was once again, deep in thought of her unknown friend. Was he a friend? More or less? She didn't know, but she wondered why she cared. Just at that second, a loud beeping noise filled the compartment. Hermione reached into her bag and took out her cell phone. She looked down and read the words, "You have one unread message."

Well, that's Chapter 2! I tried not to reveal too much and, believe me, it wasn't easy! Read and review!
