Chapter 10 - Break
November passed without a snitch. December was a little crazy. The teachers seemed to realize that the students were going to be away for break, so they were piling up the homework and jamming as much into their lesssons as possible. Hermione managed to finish most of the assignments the day that they were assigned. If not the day of, by the next day, they were done. She also helped Harry and Neville with the homework they struggled with.
On the twenty first of December, Hermione took the PokeHistory Exam over World Legends. If she passed, which she would find out during the break, she would take World Geography the next semester. If she failed, then she was back in the PokeHistory classroom. She hoped that didn't happen, she barely managed to convince Professor McGonagall to let her take the class on her own, much faster, pace.
On the train ride back to King's Cross Station, Hermione sat with Neville. They both had their three Pokemon out of their Pokeballs. Hermione, who had already finished all of her homework that was assigned over the break, was helping Neville with his. They were working on the subject that he struggled with the most, Pokemon Identification, Information, and Statistics. For some reason he struggled to remember which Pokemon was which.
Once the train arrived at the station, the two said their goodbyes and parted ways.
It didn't take long for Hermione to spot her parents. It was kinda hard to miss the bushy hair found in the Granger women. She and Chomper rushed over to her parents, excited to see them again.
As soon as they arrived home, Hermione showed off her new Pokemon to her parents. They were suitably impressed by how she each of her new Pokemon and how Myeem had evolved.
The next day, Hermione showed her new Pokemon the tennis ball shooter and explained the exercise. Chomper helped by demonstrating. Both Eshwick and Myeem wanted to try out this new, to them, exercise.
By the end of the break, they could all do the ten seconds and five seconds.
Chomper, it seemed, had the most trouble with the exercise. He struggled with moving fast enough to dodge a few of the ones at the four second intervals. Eshwick got stuck at the three second intervals. Myeem did the best by getting stuck at the two second intervals.
Hermione sent out presents for her two friends the night before Christmas to make sure that they both arrived on time. For Neville, whose best and favorite subject was Herbs and Berries, she sent A Basic Guide to Raising Your Own Berries. As Harry seemed to enjoy battling, shesent him Battling by Type, the usual second year book on battling.
Hermione, in turn, got a Sweet Heart from Harry and Berry Juice from Neville. This way, if her Pokemon got only a little hurt, she could fix them up without going to the hospital wing.
From her parents, Hermione got two Firium Z, one for her Z Ring and one for Eshwick to wear. She also got a case to hold her Z Crystals.
Hermione nervously opened the letter with the results of her World Legends test. She carefully removed the paper that had her future in it. She got an O! She passed with flying colors!
Soon it was time to go back to school. She had missed her parents while she was away. She wouldn't get to see them for months. While she was sad that she wouldn't get to see her parents for a while, she was excited to go back to school.
On the train, she sat with Neville. They talked about anything and everything that they did over break, after Hermione had made sure that his homework was complete, of course.
