A/N: Wow, for a first chapter, not to mention a really short one, I'm pleasantly surprised at the amount of reviewers. Thanks guys, it really makes me want to write. So, here's the next chapter and I hope it keeps you interested. Also, a cookie for everyone who can guess Hermione's relative. I can tell you this, it's never been done before, I think. Read and review please,

Toodles, jessebelle

Hermione stepped off the plane and looked around in awe. As soon as she set foot in the airport terminal, her bad feelings about everything, while they didn't disappear, lessened quite a bit. The hustle and bustle around her had her staring in awe. She'd traveled and been at airports before, but the business that was everywhere was still a bit overwhelming. And to think, just a while ago she'd been back in England prepared to start her seventh year at Hogwarts.

            Coming out of her musings, she took a deep breath and prepared to start her new adventure. First things first though, go find a decent bathroom. Then she needed to get her luggage. And her last task, the hardest task, would be to find her new relation. Dumbledore hadn't given her a lot of information, just a name and how they were related. He had let her know that he didn't quite know if they knew about the wizarding world. So for now, she was a muggle and she would remain a muggle for as long as she had to. She had no clue what to expect from her cousin, nor any clue of if they'd get along.

            After relieving herself and gathering her luggage, Hermione headed to the spot where she'd been told to wait. Sitting down, she found herself thinking of what had happened in such a short time. At the moment, she was alone and she would remain that way for a week. Her protectors wouldn't be arriving right away because they had to take care of their affairs back in England. She still didn't know who they were; just that she'd recognize them right away. She didn't even know how many people to expect.

            :Sigh: When had life gotten so complicated? One moment she was prepared to take on her duties as Hogwarts' Head Girl. The next she was sitting in a plane in America. She closed her eyes and had almost entered an even deeper thought process when she heard her name being called. Turning her head, she saw a man with a sign that had her name on it. Sighing once more, she pulled herself out of her seat, grabbed her luggage, and started walking toward her newest adventure. She decided to remain positive and she repeated what Dumbledore had told her. "Think of it as a learning experience." Well, hopefully she'd learn something. Hermione just wished she knew what it was.
