Return to Gotham

Chapter 7

PLEASE READ SUMMARY HAS CHANGED!!!

Summary: Set two years after Worlds Collide. Hermione and the Joker are back in Gotham. And you'll just have too see what happens from there.

Okay, I know this is different from the original summary that I have posted on chapters 1-6 but now that I've begin to write it I think that it is appropriate to keep it like it was in Worlds Collide where Hermione only uses her magic when it's absolutely necessary. I tried to fit it in where she uses her magic for evil but I just can't see it so sorry for any confusion this might cause but hopefully it won't cause too much because she hasn't used her magic in the story yet.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters.

Hermione slowly opened her eyes. She felt a soft surface under her. How long had she slept? Were they off the plane already? She sat up and looked around. Yes, defiantly not on a plane anymore. She looked next to her but the Joker wasn't there. This bedroom reminded her of the last secluded apartment building they had stayed in before they left Gotham. She knew it wasn't the same one though. She got up and walked into what was a small living room area. The Joker was sitting in a chair with a book in his hands. She smiled at the sight. Her reading habits had defiantly rubbed off on him. She walked over and sat down in the chair beside the one he was sitting in. The Joker looked up from the book.

"Good morning sleeping beauty."

She laughed. "Wait what time is it?"

"It's about one in the morning."

"How long have I been asleep?"

"Long enough for us to get from London to here so pretty much all day and all night."

"You should have woken me up."

"No, you looked so peaceful and I knew you were tired."

"Yeah, I was pretty tired but I don't know why."

"The night before we left you were tossing and turning in your sleep all night; you were very restless."

"Oh." She said taking her eyes away from the Joker.

"What was wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Hermione please don't lie to me."

"I had a dream or more like a nightmare."

"What happened in the nightmare?"

"My uncle he took me away from you."

"You know I would never let that happen."

"I know it was a stupid nightmare; I don't even know why I had it."

"You can't decide what you dream."

"True."

"Don't worry about it you don't have to feel bad about it, it was just a nightmare."

"Yeah, you're right."

"Aren't I always?"

Hermione rolled her eyes and laughed. She spotted her book lying on the table.

"Did you already unpack?"

"Hermione we're not living in a permanent home anymore. I only unpacked a few things. We're going to be living out of suitcases again."

"Oh right. Sorry, it's going to take some time for me to snap back in to that."

"Don't feel bad because I unpacked everything and then realized what I did and then had to re-pack it all."

Hermione just burst out laughing. She opened her book and started to flip through it. She let out a frustrated groan. "I really need to start using bookmarks." She muttered.

"Page 317."

"What?"

"Page 317."

"You remembered what page I was on."

"The night you crawled into my lap and fell asleep I knew you hadn't checked the page number because you hadn't closed the book."

"You know me so well."

"Of course I do, I think of it kind of like my job."

"I love you."

"I love you too."
