AN: I'm going to clear up some confusion about the whole thing about how Hermione possible knows Wen and Olivia if they are from different countries. So, basically, in 5th grade, the year before Hermione gets the letter for Hogwarts, she stays with her aunt who moved to the States for a year. Her mom just wanted her to go there for the experience, so Hermione went to a school in the States that happened to have Wen and Olivia in it for one year. Hopefully, that clears up the confusion. Now, on to the chapter!
Chapter 2
Olivia woke up and her heart fluttered at the thought of possibly seeing Wen again. She'd had a major crush on him ever since she laid eyes on him, which happened to be in first grade. Who knew you could find someone that you are destined to be with at such a young age? (Not that Olivia knew that yet.)
Olivia believed in fate and destiny. She believed that there was a reason that it happened to be Wen that she liked. And, she believed that there was a reason happened to be in London during the same summer. She felt that something was going to happen; she just was not sure what yet.
Olivia got out of bed and headed to the bathroom. She wanted to look her best in case she happened to run into Wen again today. Olivia went into the shower. Then, she changed into a lilac short-sleeved floral dress that fell to right above her knees. She blow-dried her hair and then French-braided it. She brushed her teeth and put on some pink lip gloss. Then, she went downstairs. Her Gram and her rented out a small house only a short distance away from Hermione's house for their stay in London.
"Hey Gram," Olivia greeted her grandmother at the kitchen table.
Her grandmother was sitting and drinking coffee while reading a small paperback novel. Her Gram looked up from her novel and smiled at Olivia, "Hi sweetie. How are you?"
"I'm great," Olivia answered, heading to the fridge. She poured herself a glass of orange juice. Olivia and her Gram had just gone grocery shopping the day before. She pulled out some yogurt and got a spoon. Olivia took a seat by her grandmother. Olivia pulled off the lid off her yogurt and dipped her spoon in and took a bite.
"Mmm," Olivia sighed, relishing the taste. She loved yogurt. She took a sip of her orange juice. Olivia continued to eat while talking to her grandmother.
"So, dear, do you have anything planned today?" her Gram questioned, taking a sip of her coffee.
"Hermione is going to take Ron and me to the London Eye," I replied, excited.
"That's nice. I hope you three have a great time," Gram told her.
Olivia finished off the rest of her breakfast and put her glass and spoon in the sink, "We'll try. I'll see you later Gram." Olivia leant down to give her grandmother a kiss on the cheek.
Olivia headed out to the foyer and pulled on her brown boots which were set by the door.
Then, Olivia went to go over to Hermione's house. She knocked on the door and Hermione's mother answered.
"Hello, Olivia. It was so nice to finally meet you yesterday. Hermione always talked nonstop about you when she was on the phone with me."
Olivia blushed.
"Hermione and Ron should be down any minute now. Come on in," Hermione's mom opened the door a little bit wider and let Olivia pass.
"Here, sit," Mrs. Granger said, gesturing to a chair. Olivia willingly obliged and sat down. A few minutes later, Ron and Hermione came down the stairs.
"Good morning," Hermione said chirpily to Olivia and her mom. She gave her mom a kiss on the cheek.
"Good morning, Mrs. Granger, Olivia," Ron said, nodding at each one of them.
"Good morning Ron, did you have a good night's rest?" Mrs. Granger asked Ron.
"Yeah, I did," Ron answered.
"I have some food laid out for the two of you on the kitchen table," Mrs. Granger told Hermione and Ron who immediately went to the kitchen.
Mrs. Granger turned to Olivia, "How about you dear? Have you already eaten breakfast? I have more food."
Olivia shook her head, "I'm fine thank you. I ate before I came."
Mrs. Granger gave Olivia another smile and followed Ron and Hermione. Olivia followed after.
When Hermione and Ron had finished eating, the three of them left the house to head out to the London Eye. As they left, they past by Wen's house; and as they did, Wen came out with a little blonde girl, his little sister Georgie.
"Good morning," Wen called to them.
"Are they your friends?" Georgie asked, turning to Wen.
"Yeah, I guess, sort of," Wen answered.
Georgie gave him a funny look and skipped over to the fence, "Hi, I'm Georgie, Wen's sister. Are you his friends?"
Hermione looked at Wen who was following behind Georgie, who shrugged. Hermione turned back to the little girl, "Yes we are."
"Yeah," Ron said. Olivia just nodded timidly behind them.
"Wow, you two sound funny."
"Georgie!" Wen scolded, but Hermione and Ron just laughed.
"I'm sorry," Wen apologized.
"It's fine," Hermione answered.
"Why do you two talk like that?" Georgie asked.
Wen sighed exasperatedly.
"It's an accent. To me, you sound funny, as well."
"Really? Why?" Georgie asked.
"Because here most people talk like us; but, in the States most people talk like you. And, that's why you think I sound different," Hermione explained.
"Oh," Georgie nodded and turned to Olivia, "Do you talk like them?"
Olivia smiled at the little girl, "No. I talk like you."
"Are you from where we live?"
"Yes, actually; I go to school with your brother."
"Oh cool! What are you doing today?"
"We're going to the London Eye," Hermione answered.
"Ooh, can I come?" Georgie asked, excitedly.
"Georgie!" Wen scolded again.
"She can come, its fine. You both come," Hermione told Wen.
"All right," Wen responded, "Let me go ask my dad. C'mon Georgie." Georgie and Wen disappeared into their house.
"Hermione, why'd you invite them?" Olivia whispered, "Now, I know I'll make a fool of myself. I'm fine with seeing him and talking for like five minutes. But, now, I'll have to try and act…cool…around him for the whole day!"
"You'll be fine," Hermione told Olivia, "Now, be quiet. They are coming back out again."
Wen and Georgie reappeared, "My dad said we could come."
"That's great!" Hermione said.
The five them headed out to the London Eye.
