So I realized I forgot to put in an author's note on the first chapter, so here it is:
I have no idea how long this story will be, have no real outline for it. I can say you can expect 2-3 updates a month for the time being. Also I've never written any fanfic before so if anyone would like beta for me that'd be great.
Hermione could still sense someone staring at her once the feast was over. The Beauxbatons girls were lead out by their headmistress Madame Maxine, a tall woman with short hair. The others were slowly filing out of the hall to their dorms. The castle felt fuller and with the additional students, it was definitely going to be an interesting year.
Harry and Ron left shortly after Beauxbatons. Ron practically pulled Harry out of the hall presumably to catch another glimpse of the girls on their way out to their carriage. They had arrived in a powder blue carriage pulled by twelve Abraxan horses. That information she had gathered from Ginny who had gone out to see them arrive earlier that afternoon.
Hermione tapped Ginny on her side and jerked her head slightly towards the ancient oak doors. The two said their goodbyes to Fred, George and the remaining Gryffindors and exited that hall. As soon as they were alone Ginny practically jumped her friend in anticipation.
"Hermione what the bloody hell is going on?"
Hermione herself had no idea why she felt the need to speak to Ginny alone. She was probably over analyzing the situation anyways.
"Gin, just hold on till we get there."
Ginny huffed, clearly annoyed about the unusual behavior of her friend. One of the many magical self-winding clocks rang out ten times, Hermione sighed she was relieved that at least tomorrow was Saturday. And they had an hour before curfew.
When they reached the unused classroom Hermione casted a silencing charm as an extra precaution. She turned to her best friend and sighed.
"What do you know about veelas?"
Ginny was taken back, she thought Hermione was going to inform her of a new secret passage she'd read about in one of her many books on Hogwarts. She'd helped Fred and George find another one shortly before they left for summer last school year.
Ginny frowned, "Ummm not much is really know about them, except for what the Ministry puts out about them. You know basic half-breed information." She shrugged and paused for a second. "Is that what was bothering you tonight? 'Cause they do have this thing called Thrall which makes most guys go completely bonkers. Like Ron who I swear was drooling tonight come to think of it."
It was times like these that Hermione wished she had grown up in a wizarding family, there was only so much that she could read.
She sighed, "I don't know Gin I just had the weirdest feeling tonight, especially when one of the girls looked at me. It was also too late to go to the library to do research…which now I see would have been not much use considering there's not much written about them."
"Charlie did say that he had worked with a few in Romania, but he never spoke about them like Ron or the other boys would. Fred's got three galleons that Charlie is involved with his research assistant Ian. I've got 8 sickles that he brings him home for Christmas this year." She paused for a moment, "which girl was it… the one that was looking at you tonight?"
"The" 'really pretty' she thought, "one towards the back of the line, she's blonde with blue eyes. I saw her talking with Cho at dinner." Ginny nodded and made a mental note to look for her during breakfast the following morning.
Hermione didn't get all the information she wanted but it was a good start, even if she was confused about why she thought the foreign girl to be so pretty. She noticed Ginny looked impatient to get out of the abandoned classroom, so she released the silencing charm and they headed back to the tower.
Thank you so much for all of you that have favorited, followed and left reviews!
