A/N- sorry for the lateness! It's been super busy. Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, I'm borrowing.

The next day, Hermione, awoke pleasantly to a good night's sleep. That was a rare privilege and she cherished dreamless sleep more than she ever thought she would. She headed for school early that day, not exactly hungry for breakfast though she did whip some pancakes up for Charlie. The weather outside was better than the previous day's; it was cloudy but a small amount of sunshine peeked through. It wasn't raining yet but it seemed like it would soon enough.

She parked her truck at the same spot as yesterday, in front of the Front Office building. She noticed the others' eyes were still lingering on her. Staring at the new girl didn't last just one day, she guessed. The day started off well enough. She talked to the same people as the day before. The teachers took an instant liking to her for which she was grateful. She had always been overly fond of her teachers.

As lunch came by, Hermione started to wonder what would be the right time to tell the Cullens. Her going over to their table unwelcome didn't seem like a great idea; it might look a bit suspicious and she didn't know how they would react to the news. To her surprise however, Edward Cullen did not show up. Was he hiding from her? Hermione was amused. His four siblings were at the same table; they should make more of an effort to blend in. She wondered if any of them also had a power like Edward; if they did, she was sure telepathy wasn't one of them. The one with the curly blonde hair, Jasper, noticed her staring and gave her a semi-glare. Hermione looked away. No need to unnecessarily make them suspicious.

She decided she would wait telling them. Just to see how it played out.

Mike walked with her to Biology class; Hermione had the desk to herself today. The rest of the day went by pretty fast. They played Volleyball again in P.E, Hermione's team won all three games.

After school, she decided to some grocery shopping. Charlie was out most of the day and didn't really have the time. He also couldn't cook. As she drove out of the parking lot, she noticed the four Cullen kids getting into their Volvo. The turned their heads towards Hermione as she drove by, she gave them a small smile as she passed. She didn't look back to see their reactions though.

At the grocery store, she wondered what she should get. She had the intense urge to call Mrs. Weasley. She could cook anything. She picked up some random vegetables and fruits and a few of those microwavable snacks that seem to be so popular. Honestly, those had no taste, but at-least they were easy to make.

When she got home, she unloaded the groceries into the various empty cupboards in the kitchen. She heard a sudden tap in the window and startled only to find a brown barn-owl staring at her. "Pig!" Hermione was happy to see Pigwidgeon, Ginny's owl. She remembered Harry had borrowed her for the time being; he couldn't bear to buy himself another owl after Hedwig. She opened the window and let the bird in.

"Oh, you poor thing," she said. The owl looked exhausted from the flight.

She untied the small piece of parchment from the owl's leg and uncoiled it. She immediately recognized the messy scribble.

Dear Hermione,

The trials for the Death Eaters have started. I'm going back to London for a few days to vouch for Narcissa Malfoy's case. She did save my life. I believe Luna is vouching for Draco; it seems as they had gotten close during her imprisonment at the Malfoy Manor. Most ironic thing I've heard in my life. Can't wait to see Ron's reaction. I am only writing to you because I know you'd worry and want to come with me. I will be perfectly fine, alright Mione? I'll floo as soon as I get back to America. You take care. And keep Pig until I get back, won't you?

Love, Harry

Hermione knew the trials had started two days before. She wasn't surprised that Harry wanted to witness for Narcissa. She was just a woman who fell in love with the wrong man. She also knew Luna would vouch for Draco; Luna had told her and Ginny how Draco wanted to help her. How he didn't identify Harry when they were caught because he wanted Luna and the others to escape. Hermione, by no means, forgave him but she had faith Luna knew what she was doing. And yes, admittedly, Ron's reaction would be rather funny.

Hermione was also unintentionally worried because of the runaway Death Eaters. Quite a few of them escaped after the Battle of Hogwarts. And with losing so many Order members, they still weren't fully functional to search for them thoroughly. And it was true that Harry would be the first person on their list to capture. She diverted her attention, Harry could take care of himself. He would be fine. She turned to the owl instead who was staring at her wide-eyed. "Come on, Pig, I'll take you to my room."

The next few days went by very quickly. Hermione fell into a routine. Charlie didn't mind having an owl around, he seemed quite excited over Pig, trying to feed her various snacks that the owl adamantly refused. Edward didn't show up that entire week. His siblings were there though which assured Hermione that nothing horrible had happened to him. He must have been very spooked to be gone for so long.

Sorry this one is so short. And I couldn't help but mention Druna in there, they're my Harry Potter OTP. Anyone else? No? Okay. Thank you to everyone who's reading!
