Chapter 3: Hermione
September 15th, 1999
Today was Hermione's first day of classes. She left in June to get settled into her dorms and meet all of the people she would be around. She met her new roommate earlier last week when she had moved into her dorm.
Her new roommate's name was Mallory Brown. She was a tall blonde, about 5'10 and she had sapphire blue eyes. She was about Hermione's build. They both seemed to hit it off right away.
Hermione decided her major right away when she came. She was going to major in law. She had gotten her class schedule last week and shockingly she and Mallory had all of the same classes. Hermione's first class was History of Law 121, then Law 249, Calculus and English 101.
"Should we head off to our first class?" Mallory asked.
"Yeah I think I have all of my books gathered up." Hermione said.
Once they had finished all of their classes, they headed back to their dorm room. Hermione came in and sat on her bed. Last summer she, Harry and Ron had gotten a hold of one of Mr. Weasley's muggle cameras and they took quite a few pictures with it. One of the three of them on a bench, one of just Harry and Ron playing around and one of Harry and her kissing which she shed a tear over. She had many other pictures of her and various Weasley's. She couldn't bear to look at the pictures of her and Harry, they hurt her too much to see them.
"Are those pictures of your friends back in Britain? " Mallory asked.
"Yes, they are amazing and I wouldn't trade them for anything." Hermione said.
"So, do you wanna do something wild? I think you would look excellent as a platinum blonde, Hermione. And I was thinking about getting a couple piercings and a tattoo while we had the time if you wanna go with me." Mallory suggested.
"That sounds extremely crazy, but what the hell, sure I'm up for it!" Hermione said.
So they headed to a salon where Hermione ended up getting her hair done. She ended up with platinum blonde on the top and deep burgundy on the bottom half. She also ended up getting hair extensions so her hair ended up coming down to right just above her bum.
Then they headed to the tattoo parlor where Hermione got her nose and navel pierced and a tattoo of 3 small hot pink stars on her right hip bone. Mallory got a tattoo of a flower on her left foot and got her navel and nose pierced.
They headed back to their dorm room and ran into one of the new guys on their floor named Jake Sites.
"Hello, my name is Jake. What's yours?" Jake said pointing to Hermione.
"My name is Hermione, it is nice to meet you." Hermione said.
They said their goodbyes to Jake and headed to their dorm. Hermione got into bed and went fast asleep.
October 31st, 1999
It was the night of Halloween and Hermione and Mallory decided to go to a club to party and hang out. They were both dressed as Playboy bunnies. As they headed into the club, Hermione noticed Jake standing over by the bar.
"I want to take a picture of us with my mobile real quick. I want to show this to my friends back home when I go at Christmas. Harry will be so jealous he may explode right on the spot." Hermione said laughing. Hermione and Mallory have gotten to know each other quite well in the last 2 months that you could say they are best friends. Hermione ended up having someone take the picture for her and she ended up taking a couple of herself posing for the camera. When she was done taking pictures, she headed over to the bar to talk to Jake.
"Hi Jake! How are you doing?" Hermione asked.
"Wow! Hi Hermione! You look hot!" Jake said eyeing her up and down.
"Thanks." Hermione said with a flirty smile. "Do you wanna go dance?" She asked.
"Yeah, that would be great!" Jake said.
As they headed to the middle of the dance floor, Jake wrapped his arms around Hermione's waist and caressed her bum with his hands. He looked down at her and started to lower his face to her level and his lips met hers. He started to deepen the kiss when Hermione suddenly jumped away from him.
"I can't do this. I am still in love with someone and this feels so wrong." Hermione said as she ran out of the club crying. Mallory followed her back to the dorm room.
"Hermione, what is wrong? I thought you liked Jake?" Mallory asked.
"I did, but I am in love with someone else and it felt so wrong to kiss someone else." Hermione said wiping the tears from her eyes.
"It is Harry, the one you have a bunch of pictures of, isn't it?" Mallory asked.
"Yes. He is my first love. I gave him my virginity and I am still in love with him. He probably has found someone else though. That would be just my luck." Hermione said.
"Well, when you go back, even if he is with someone else when he takes one look at you he will leave that person I guarantee it." Mallory said.
"Thanks Mallory. You are such a great friend." Hermione said. "I need to get to bed, I want to go tanning before I go to class tomorrow. Care to join me?"
"I would love to, Hermione." Mallory said.
December 24th, 1999
Hermione just got off her plane that landed in London to head to the Burrow. She was very nervous to see everyone again being it has been almost seven months since she has seen or talked to anyone.
As soon as she got out of view of all the muggles she Apparated to the front door of the Burrow. She took a deep breath and walked in.
As soon as she walked into the living room where everyone was seated, she got a lot of silence at first.
"Hermione, is that you?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"Yeah Hermione you look completely different!" Ginny said.
"Yeah I know I look completely different. I just wanted a big change. I love it, though." Hermione said. "Where are Harry and Ron?" She asked.
"Oh, they had to work a little later, they are Aurors now you know?" Mrs. Weasley said.
She heard some footsteps and soon Luna appeared in the living room.
"Merlin Hermione, you look gorgeous!" Luna said.
"Thank you, Luna." Hermione said.
Hermione sat on the sofa and caught up with everyone sitting in the living room, when Harry and Ron walked into the living room. As soon as they spotted Hermione they both dropped everything they were holding and just stared at her.
"Hermione, you look absolutely amazing." Harry said.
"Wow Hermione, blonde is definitely your color." Ron said.
As they all sat down to eat dinner, Hermione got bombarded with questions.
"So Hermione, what is it like in the US?" Ron asked.
"It is beautiful, more beautiful than I would have ever imagined. It is so much more different there, too. The people are much more laid back and more candid than us. But that makes them much friendlier, too. I would love for you guys to visit sometime." Hermione said.
Hermione answered many more questions until Mrs. Weasley stopped everyone from asking anymore questions. They sat and ate and everyone had their small conversations between each other.
After dinner, Harry brought Hermione to a spare bedroom upstairs.
"Hermione, I can't believe how different you look. You are so breathtakingly beautiful. And I love the nose piercing. Beautiful." Harry said.
"Thank you, Harry. I have some pictures I wanted to show you on my mobile. This is one of my friend Mallory and me on Halloween. We dressed up as Playboy bunnies. I'm sure you know what those are." Hermione said.
"Merlin, Hermione I need a copy of this picture, so if I get lonely I have something to look at." Harry said laughing.
"Yeah I notice the effect it has on you, Harry." Hermione said looking down in his lap noticing he was happy to see that picture.
"Yeah, not only does that picture have that effect on me but so do you." Harry said as he kissed her deeply, laying her on the bed.
Harry removed her shirt and jeans to reveal her navel ring and her tattoo.
"Merlin, you are going to make me climax right here and now 'Mione. You are so sexy." Harry moaned.
As he took off his shirt and pants, Hermione moaned in his ear, "Take me now, Harry. Please."
They spent most of the night in ecstasy.
January 2nd, 2000
Hermione said her goodbyes to everyone and headed to London to board her plane to head back to Connecticut. She couldn't help but cry when she left Harry. She knew she was truly in love with him and no one else would do.
When she landed in Connecticut, she headed straight to her dorm and went straight to bed, being extremely jet-lagged.
'I know I had to leave him, but we will be together again, I know it.' Hermione thought.
February 1st, 2000
Hermione woke up early to her feeling a little under the weather. She couldn't help but notice in the last couple of weeks that she was getting a little bit of a stomach. She wanted to go tanning today before her classes. But she had a funny feeling about herself and remembered when her and Harry made love over Christmas break, she had forgotten to use a conception charm. 'Merlin, I am pregnant. How I could I be so stupid! (In Hermione's first year voice haha)' she thought. She wanted to go to the drugstore down the street to get a muggle pregnancy test to be sure.
When she got back to her dorm, she went to the bathroom and took the test. The box said to wait five minutes for the results, so she went to the mini refrigerator to get a drink and came back. When she picked up the test and looked at it, her suspicions came true. Two really dark pink lines. She was pregnant.
