Prologue

It had been long since Hermione had last felt utterly disoriented, actually, there were very few times when she had felt like that.

The first time she was disoriented was after a staircase suddenly changed position at Hogwarts.

The second time was in her fifth year, when she had gone into the depths of the Forbidden Forest and -for a terrifying second-, lost sight of Hagrid and Harry.

The third was when she learned how to Apparate. She knew where she was but for a moment she couldn't seem to understand it.

And now, there was a fourth time where cars, buses, giant buildings and colorful billboards surrounded her in New York. She was no longer alone, her parents were beside her, deciding where they should go next.

Hermione looked at them, smiled, and gazed around her one more time. She was disoriented; the life and energy coming from the people around her was so overwhelming that it seemed to crush her... In a good way. She hadn't realized it before, when she first arrived, it was hard to believe she hadn't since the change from the desolated forest to the overcrowded city wasn't exactly subtle.

"Hermione." Her mother said, her rich accent caressing every letter of her name with motherly affection. "What do you think of going to Central Park?"

Hermione nodded and Marianne grinned sufficiently to her husband.

"I told you she would love it, didn't I?"

David just shrugged, used to her wife's antics, and prepared to call a cab. Hermione hesitated but in the end she asked what had been on her mind all day long. "When are we going to see the Universities?"

David grinned at her wife, while Marianne was shaking her head at Hermione in a way that said you really have no remedy.

"We thought that it would be better if we go to Central Park first so you can enjoy it properly." Marianne answered.

"Do you have any University in mind?" David asked.

Both of them smiled brightly when Hermione's eyes shone with joy, and they just knew that she already had that covered.
