Disclaimer: The only thing I own is the plot. ;)
It had been a great summer holiday, my parents had bought me a muggle lap top computer. With a simple charm I could pick up a wireless internet connection anywhere. I had also found a wizarding chat room! There's where I met… "Prince" We had been talking all summer holiday. I felt like I could tell him anything.
I got online smiling because sure enough he was on.
Bookworm: I knew you would be online!
Prince: Of course, there's nothing better to do.
Bookworm: A few more questions before school starts…
Prince: Sure what?
Bookworm: Are you muggle born?
Prince: Remember how I told you father and I don't see eye to eye? I'm a pureblood but I'm not about to tell someone they can't do magic because of parenting. We don't chose our families.
Bookworm: wow… Not many people would admit to that… I am muggle born. It's been hard on me.
Prince: I feel like I've known you forever…
Bookworm: I know me too… Are you taking your lap top to school?
Prince: How? There won't be an internet connection.
Bookworm: Tap your wand to the wireless router and say "Distant Interneto"
Prince: Wow, I didn't think of that… Hey what school do you go to?
Bookworm: Hogwarts, it'll be my seventh year!
Prince: Me too! That's almost weird.
Bookworm: I've gotta finish packing… maybe I'll see you on the express?
Prince: Maybe…
I logged off the computer and smiled to myself… I felt so bad for Prince, his father not letting him be who he wants. Honestly! If my parents wanted me to go into dentistry they were sadly mistaken. My things were all packed I would be leaving for "The Burrow" tonight. I couldn't wait to tell Ginny about my newest friend. He was easier to talk to. Sure my friends and I corresponded with owls, but it was faster…
"Hermione! It's almost time." I heard my mother call. "Alright mum, I'll be right there." I called back. I looked around my room. It was a small cozy muggle room. I was happy to be leaving… As much as I loved my parents… Ever since I started going to Hogwarts… They looked at me differently.
I grabbed my school trunk and rushed down the stairs to our fireplace. I hugged both my parents before disappearing into the fireplace. With a handful of Floo Powder I shouted "The Burrow" With the green flames tickling I felt myself falling. I braced myself for the impact on the ground. I steadied myself and walked into the Weasley's kitchen. "Evening Mrs. Weasley." I greeted. "Hello dear, the boys are out. Ginny's been expecting you."
I nodded and rushed to Ginny's room. We hugged and she conspiratorially grinned. "So what about this boy you met?" She asked.
"Oh Ginny! He's wonderfully funny, and smart and he goes to Hogwarts…" I gushed. "Who is he?" She asked… "He goes by… Prince, I'm bookworm… I can really open up and talk to him without feeling weird…" I tried explaining. Ginny scrunched her nose together, "So you're like… secret pen-pals?" She asked. Relived she understood I nodded. Ginny looking disturbed decided to go and help her mother with dinner.
Out came my lap top as I composed an e-mail
Prince,
I told my best friend about you… She doesn't
Quite understand… I don't know if anyone will.
I guess we have a strange relationship. But I feel..
I just… Have this feeling like I know you… We're
The same. Both of us
have high expectations!
Everyone expects us to be perfect. We
can't all
Be perfect. I know I'm ranting a little… I thought you
Would understand… You always do.
-BW
I sent the e-mail feeling slightly better. I made my way downstairs where I was bombarded by Harry and Ron. "We were coming to get you dinner's ready." Harry grinned. "And I'm starving" Ron whined.
Boys… I thought to myself…
(A/Ns I know weird way to start a story, but it gets better I promise! Who is Hermione's correspondent?)
