Chapter 2: Moving Forward

"Yes," Hermione said as she saw the handsome blond standing stiffly in front of the door, blushing badly. He was totally speechless and Hermione can't help but giggle, even though she didn't mean to.

Dino had never saw a beautiful young woman before in his life, of course as a mafia boss he is surely have met a lot of beautiful women in his life, but this one is so different. She was perfect in every way any man would want too. Her straight, wavy brunette hair, the beautiful brown eyes, the perfect lips, fair skin, and the curve of her body fit perfectly.

At first Hermione was a bit stunned when saw him and wouldn't mind to let him stand on the doorway longer, but realizing that his men are right behind him, worried her and at the same time it was during daylight so people might notice and she did not plan of making havoc on the neighbourhood, so Hermione snaps her finger right in front of Dino's face and he blinks his eyes couples of time before realizing that he just embarrassed himself in front of the young woman he supposed to pick.

"Hi, I'm Dino…from the Cavallone family and this is my men, and we're looking for Miss Hermione Granger, and we are here to pick her for her trip to Italy to meet the Vongola 9th," Dino was a bit startle when he first introduce himself to her.

"Why I am embarrassing myself here, this is not supposed to happen." Dino's thought playing in his mind. He was never as nervous as this before, maybe because she was so damn beautiful and stunning, and as he turns to his men, he can see that most of them are either blushing or tries to steal a glance at the young brunette in front of them. Dino gawk at his men and it seems that he's not the only one.

"I'm Hermione, please to meet you, hmmm…please come in," at first she was a bit hesitated but then she did not feel any threats that coming from them as she moves aside to let them in into the house.

Dino and his men entered the Granger's home, the house was very neat and clean and they feel very calm. Hermione then goes to the kitchen to boil some water and make some tea for her guests. Dino sit on the sofa as some of his men either standing behind him or roaming around the living room, looking at every possible thing they can see, until one of them spot something that he never see in his entire life that he almost let out a scream, and in which creates attention among his comrades.

"What is it Ivan?" Dino asked him as Hermione come running from the kitchen, looking worried as if anything happen to her guest.

"The p..p..picture, the…the…they are…moving….," Ivan squeal, pointing at the picture as he moves backward, almost hit Romario who manages to stop him.

"Damn…how could I forget about the picture?" Hermione's mind let out a curse, almost pale, she did not believes she forgot to hide the picture, it will create problems for anyone, muggle especially, when they sees it, and because of that one mistakes she worried if people start asking her or questioning her.

"Haaa…are you sure Ivan?" Dino questioned his man again as he himself get up from the sofa and walk to the picture that Ivan has mentioned earlier. Staring at the picture, he could see four teenagers waving their hands and smiling and laughing happily at the picture and playfully pushing each other, and one of them who he could recognize as the beautiful Hermione herself. She was a bit younger in the picture and her hair was slightly wavy, almost different compared to this time around.

Shock, Dino gawk as he turns to Hermione, who was standing at the kitchen doorway, looking at them. She then turns and run to the kitchen, avoiding trouble as Dino run after her. She almost reaches the kitchen door when Dino grasp her wrist, softly, Hermione was already trembling but Dino speak to her calmly.

"Can you please explain to us?" Dino asked her in a respectful manner. Hermione knows that she had to tell them, it was her mistake by the way, forgetting to keep the picture away. But she was so nervous that she was completely stiff and is not able to speak, worries of what her guests would think of her.

"Don't worry, we won't do you any harm, it's my promise," Dino tries to convinces Hermione as he hold her hand, softly, making sure that she feel safe and do not feel threaten with them. Slowly, Hermione nods her head and follows Dino as he led her to the living room. From there, Dino feel weird and funny as if there is butterfly in his stomach as he looks at the stunning young woman, whose hand was as soft as baby skin. He could feel himself blush pretty bad as he sees Romario tries to hide his laugh behind his hands and others were tries to control themselves from smirking.

Leading her to the sofa, Dino sit next to her as he hands her the picture. Taking the picture from his hand, Hermione could see her younger self, along with her best friends Harry, Ron and Ginny. The picture was taken after the war and before they started their final year at Hogwarts. It was taken by Bill who bought a wizard camera and tries to test them, by that time both Harry and Hermione were at the Burrow, and luckily the twins was not around so Hermione was safe from their constant humiliation. She really missed them, Harry, Ron, Ginny and the rest of the Weasley clan, except the twins. She even missed Neville, Luna, Lavender and even Draco. She didn't realize that her tears are formed in her eyes and slowly fell, dripping on the picture frame. She even wonders when she will ever see them again.

Dino was panicked, he did not know how to console a crying woman, he tries to talk slowly but since he was panic, no word could come out. Covering for his boss, Romarion take his handkerchief and give it to the crying Hermione. Realizing that she was crying, she apologized to them, embarrassing of herself. Wiping away the tears, Hermione looked again at the picture of her and her best friends, the most important people in her life back in the Wizarding World, and wondering how are they doing at the moment.

"I'm a witch, and this is a wizard photo." Hermione opened a bit of her secret, her voice is slow and calm, and a bit shaky and her eyes still fixed on the picture. At first, Dino is shock, so does his men. He then slowly nods his head, letting her to continue. "These are my best friends, the one with glasses is Harry Potter, others called him The-Boy-Who-Lived, and these redheads are brother and sister, Ron and Ginny Weasley, Harry, Ron and I was in the same year and Ginny is Ron younger sister. This photo was taken by Ron and Ginny's elder brother, before we started our final year at Hogwarts, school for wizards and witches, liked me. Supposedly, Harry, Ron and I was already finished our final year a year before, but because of the war, we skipped school and continued to finish it a year later."

"What war? Sorry to ask you this, but what did the public says about it, about this wizard school?" Dino was now curious, yet he managed to control himself. He was surprised and shocked with Hermione's secret, but somehow he didn't feel any threat from her, and he could feel that she was indeed charming in her own way, and he could feel that it is not because that she is a witch, but from her honestly and from the way she treats others.

"Actually, the public, or should I call Muggle, did not know about this school, or about the Wizarding World. Muggles are those who aren't born witch or wizard, likes my parents. I was a muggle born, only those who born a witch or wizard know about this. We never allow any normal people, the muggle, to enter into the Wizarding World, it is illegal unless they have children or married to a witch or wizard. It is a secret place which normally muggle, maybe I should say normal people, did not know and cannot enter." Hermione explained to them as all of them listened carefully.

"The war happened because there's an evil wizard called Voldermort who hates blood-traitors, half-bloods and even muggle borns. He hates Harry the most, and us, because we opposed him the most. During his reign, the witches and wizards, except his own followers who we called Death-Eaters, lived in fear because almost every day we heard of attacks and people get killed and they do anything to get their hand on us, especially Harry. When Harry was a child, a toddler by right, his parents were killed because they opposed him, and when he was about to kill Harry using a spell, the spell reflected back on him and his body was destroyed and Harry survived and become legend, which he hated it the most, he hated all the fame. Harry's mother may be killed but she protected him with her love, which was caused him to survive. And there is prophecy saying that Harry is the one that will kill Voldermort, the evil wizard. His followers killed our headmaster that is a year before Harry, Ron and I go on hunting for the Hocrux, where he put his souls…," Hermione's trying to calm herself as her past memory come hunting her again. The pain caused by Bellatrix was still hunting her skin, even though she slowly managed to control it and the scar slowly fading away. It was the most painful memory she had to bear, apart from being humiliated.

Dino hold on her hands, calming her as they keep themselves in silent. "The war was the worst, it destroyed the school and many people that we knew were killed. But luckily Harry managed to kill him at last, and his followers who survived were caught and thrown in Azkaban, it's like a jail in the muggle world, normal people world, and it got the highest security that none managed to escape from it. Promise me that none of you tell others about this, normal people are not supposed to know about this, and any witch or wizard who spills this secret will be caught, but luckily to all of you, and myself, I've charmed this house so no other witch or wizard knew. Please…." Hermione begged to them, tears form in her lovely, beautiful eyes, as they looked at each other, his men looks at their young boss.

"Don't worry, we promise we won't say a word. Anyway we will be leaving tomorrow," Dino smiles at her, and while holding her soft hand he promised her that her secret is safe with them. Hermione feel relieved as she nods her head, blush when realizing that he was holding her hand, slowly she looked at him and smile and it was beautiful, which make Dino wanted to blush so he tries to talk to his men, making sure he could control his blush, even though his men already knew about it. Knowing his men, he will become a laughing subject when they go back to Italy. He then slowly let go of her hand as she tries to release her hand from his grip, trying not to be rude. Letting go of her hand, he missed the softness of her hand in his.

Sound of a kettle in the kitchen startle them, mostly, as Hermione get up and go to the kitchen to boil some tea for them.

"She's beautiful, right boss," Romarion teased Dino as he tries to control himself from blushing. "She's a breath-taking, charming as well," one of them speak, in which caused Dino to groan and cover his face with his hands as the rest of them laughs.

Hermione enter the living room with some tea and some biscuits for them as Dino put back the picture where it belongs.

Japan, somewhere in the afternoon…

"Mukuro-nii, did you pack your staff already? Is there anything else we need to bring along?" Chrome was packing some of her staff when she saw Mukuro laying on the sofa in the living room.

"I already pack everything I needs, I'm taking a short break before going out to town to get some things that we might need. Where are Ken and Chikusa?" Mukura speak softly as he staring at the ceiling of their apartment. Then, there are sound coming from the kitchen as he hear Ken swearing to Chikusa on some mistakes, something about using rice cooker.

"I wonder when they are going to have some nice conversation, without any cursing, or yelling or swearing." Mukuro murmur himself as he tries to find an earphone to cover his ears. Moment later, Chikusa entered the living room, looking at Mukuro who take a short nap, he then slowly walk away, knowing that if Mukuro's nap are disturb then there will be trouble for him.

"Ah…Chikusa, did you pack already?" Chrome asked the yo-yo maniac who was holding rice spoon. "And what are you doing with that rice spoon?" asked the indigo-haired girl again.

"Ahh…this, well Ken asked me to use this to eat rice. I'm going to finish packing after eating." Chikusa told her as he left to the kitchen, as if he forgets to take something.

Chrome looks at him as she then goes to her room, while Mukuro already in his slumber, dreaming of the upcoming mission.

Moment later, Mukuro snaps from his nap, looking at his watch it was already 5pm, and he needs to go to the town to get some things that they needs for their journey. Calling for Chrome, Ken and Chikusa, he gets himself ready before leaving.

After finding out that they needed to go back to Italy, Mukuro couldn't imagine of what is going to be, especially of his past life, but then since Vongola 9th saved them, he somehow feel a bit relieved knowing that their journey tomorrow was not an ordinary mission.

"So, we will meet, mysterious person. And somehow I could feel that I can't wait to meet you and I want to know what so special about you." Mukuro thought in his mind as his lips slowly turn to smile.

The four of them already stroll in the streets, looking for shop that have the items that they needed when suddenly they hear someone greets them.

"Oy...!" the voice was familiar as the person getting nearer.

"Over here," another voice calling for them from across the road.

There, the four of them could see Tsuna, Gokudera, Yamamoto, Ryohei, Lambo, I-pin, Kyoko, Haru, Bianchi, Fuuta, Reborn and surprisingly Kyoya Hibari, wondering why is he even tag along with them.

Chrome run to greet Bianchi, Kyoko, Haru and I-pin as they hold some packages with them. Seem that they have done their shopping as well.

"Are you ready for tomorrow?" Reborn asked them as they approach the group while he sits on Yamamoto's shoulder, eating ice-cream.

"Hmmm…," was the only answer Mukuro gives.

"I take that as a yes," replied Reborn while the girls are giggling about the things they have bought. Even Hibari had done some shopping himself, in which Mukuro can't help but to tease him.

"Oya Oya…never would I think that you will do some shopping as well, Hibari. What did you bought?" Mukuro teased the quiet man, smirking. Hibari's eyes snapped as tonfas ready in his hands and one of his shopping bag dropped to the ground.

"Ma ma, please don't fight here, people are watching," Yamamoto tries to calm them, situation a bit tense at first as some people are watching and fear of them. Tsuna was panic as his eyes wide open and he's gawking as sweat drop.

"Tsuna, you are being useless again," Reborn rebuke at Tsuna as he used Leon, which changed into a cane, hit Tsuna at his head, hard.

"OWWIIEEEE…," Tsuna cries loudly as he's holding his head as bruise seems to appear. Hibari and Mukuro was about to attack each other when Tsuna cries after being hit by Reborn, stop their fight and looked at the Vongola 10th whose now being console by Gokudera.

"Boss…, you okay?" Chrome seems to concern about the young boss, so does Kyoko and Haru.

"Let him be, he is No-Good Tsuna. Let's go, we still got some shopping to do," Reborn looked away and let Tsuna to deal with his pain.

Hibari and Mukuro stopped their fight as Hibari picked his shopping bag and continues walking behind them as Tsuna, who is consoled by Gokudera, walks slowly behind the rest.

After having their dinner together at a restaurant, courtesy of Tsuna, they depart to their own home to get some rest as tomorrow is going to be a long journey.

England, early morning

Hermione' s eyes wide open, she seems not to be able to get some good sleep last night, and today she will be leaving to Italy with Dino and his men. Still lying in her bed, she looks around as the sunlight steals it ways into her room. Looking at her alarm clock, it already shows that the time is 6:30 a.m. and her flight to Italy is at 2 p.m. Dino and his men will pick her up before 11 a.m.

On her study table was her wand, and a photo of her and her best friends, which she planned to bring these two items as well on her journey. She knew that magic was not allows in the muggle world but she cannot be sure if nothing is not going to happen. And even though she just met Dino, she seems to be able to trust him, which really surprising herself as she never simply trust people that easy.

Unable to fall asleep again, she gets up from her bed and goes to the bathroom to take her shower.

Hermione was sitting on a sofa in a living room while her mother sit next to her and her father sit on another sofa. They just had their last breakfast together before Hermione leave for her new adventures. Her parents planned to open their dental clinic a bit late, as they want to say their goodbye to their only daughter. Hermione left Crookshank behind, it will help her parents to have something to cuddle with if they miss her badly.

"Hermione dear, don't forget to write to us when you get there," Mrs Granger spoke as she holds her daughter's hand. Hermione nods her head and smile at her mother. "And if you are to find someone over there, don't forget to tell us about it, okay," Mrs Granger teased her daughter, which resulting Hermione to blush at her mother's statement.

"Mum...like that going to happen," Hermione tries to act cool but her parents laugh heartily, knowing that their precious daughter is now not only to learn about the outside world but also possibly finding her soul mate. It just the matter of time that they knew they are right about it.

"Well, who knows what might happen, are we right. Who knows that the man who going to pick you up afterward is going to end up as your soul mate," Mr Granger join in to tease his daughter, resulting Hermione to blush badly, knowing that the one who going to pick her up is the Cavallone young boss, Dino.

"Dad, you can't be serious." Hermione almost shriek as she tries to cover her face with her hands as her parents laugh.

"Well dear, I don't mind who you end up with, as long as you are happy we are happy for you, just promise us that you will never shut us from your life," Mrs Granger spoke as she holds on Hermione's hand, tears in her eyes.

"Mum, Dad, I will never shut both of you from my life. You are my family, my parents and you have raised me well and I'm so thankful for that, and I promise with whoever I end up with you both are still my priority," Hermione holds on her mother's hand tightly as her father approach them and the three of them hugged as her father kissed her in her forehead.

Later, there are a knock on the door and the watch already shows that the time is nearing 11 a.m. in which Dino and his men are coming.

Opening the door, Mr Granger greets Dino and his men as he lets them in, and Hermione and her mother rise from their seat and looks at their guests.

"Are you ready?" Dino asked Hermione, smiling at her. She nods her head confidently, with that beautiful smile in her face, ready for her journey and her new mission.

Japan, early morning

Tsuna and his guardians, in which Chrome is still his guardian's despites that Mukuro is the true Mist Guardian, along with Reborn, Chikusa, Ken, Bianchi and I-pin, are already in the airport, ready for their flight.

"Are all of you ready?" asked the Arcobaleno hitman as they reached the departing gate.

"Ready." All of them, except Reborn and Bianchi, spoke as they moved towards the departing gate, ready for their new mission.
