A/N- This is my first time writing a fan fiction so please read and review. This will eventually be a HG/FW story but it will take its time getting there. Also, this story does not go along with HBP. Some things may be similar but for the most part it has nothing to do with that book.

Disclaimer- I don't own anything but the plot and Bethany, Hope, and Maggie. Everything else belongs to J.K. Rowling.

Chapter 1-Meeting with Her Muggle Friends

Hermione Granger was unpacking her trunk after her 6th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She was planning in spending a month with her parents and then a month at The Burrow. Thinking about The Burrow made her think about her three of her best friends from school, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Ginny Weasley.

This year at school was relatively normal. Well as normal as it could get being part of the golden trio and going to a school for magic. Hermione was thinking about the school year and then started thinking about the train ride home. She had felt like the odd one out even if her friends didn't mean it. Her friends just all seemed to pair up last year. Harry and Ginny finally realized they were meant for each other and Ron started to go out with Ravenclaw, Padma Patil. Every one was a little surprised about that relationship, especially after the Yule Ball in 4th year. Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood even started going out.

Just as she put away her last book her mum called her down to dinner. She ran down the stairs trying to forget about all her thoughts and planning on calling her muggle friend, Bethany, after dinner.

After dinner Hermione called up Bethany. She had known Bethany ever since she was born. There parents had been friends since they went to school together. When Hermione started to go to Hogwarts she had told Bethany and the rest of her friends that she was going to . She hated lying to them but couldn't tell them she was a witch. She just told them that it was her parent's idea and that she had to be selected for this school and that they were really picky.

"Hey 'Mione, I am having the old gang spend the night tomorrow. Can you come?" asked the sing-song voice of Bethany.

"Of course, I have missed you all like crazy. I can't wait to see you. How about we go for lunch in the afternoon?" asked Hermione, who was really excited to see her old friends.

"Okay, how about you call Maggie and I'll call Hope and then I'll call you back. I haven't gotten a chance to talk to Hope yet. I was about to call her when you called." Bethany said referring to her and Hermione's other best friends. Well Hermione's other best muggle friends.

Hermione, Bethany Maggie, and Hope had done everything together until Hermione got her letter to go to Hogwarts. The same year Hope also left to go to a boarding school but hers focused on music. Hope was a really good singer and that is how she got in. Maggie and Bethany stayed back and went to the local school but they would always try to hang out in the summer.

"That sounds great I'll talk to you in a few, bye Beth"

"Bye 'Mione"

The next day the four girls met at Bethany's house to drop off their bags and then they headed to a little restaurant where most of the teens in there neighborhood hung out. The girls all talked about some of their childhood stories and then what was happening in there life currently. The topic then changed to school and what everyone wanted to do after wards. Hermione wasn't the happiest about where the conversation was going only because she hated to lie to all of her friends.

"So 'Mione how was school this year?" asked Hope.

"It was fine. I was buried in work and trying to keep some of my friends to do there work." Hermione replied.

The other girls laughed and told her that's how things always were. Hermione laughed with them remembering how she would also try to get Beth and Maggie to do their work when they went to school together. Food came just then and Hermione was happy to have an excuse not to have to finish that conversation. She did realize that Hope also looked relieved but didn't think much of it.

That night all the girls sat around Bethany's room eating chocolate pudding and about a million other snacks. The conversation took a turn to everyone's love life at Maggie's prodding.

"Well I wrote to you about Jason but we broke up a few weeks ago and now I am going out with Derek. He is nice and he's Hot with a capital H," Maggie told the others as she painted her nails hot pink and Bethany rolled her eyes.

"So what about you 'Mione? There has to have been something last school year? What about that Ron kid you used to fancy?" Bethany asked.

"Ron and I are just friends. He is also going out with someone right now and I have been so busy with my school work that I haven't had time." Hermione said.

The other girls rolled their eyes at Hermione's excuse. "Mione your gorgeous, you could get any guy, so get out there and stop hiding behind your books," Maggie encouraged her.

Hermione blushed at what Maggie said but tried to tell her that it wasn't true but Bethany cut her off, "Don't say you're not because you are. Your hair has calmed down and I would die to have those curls."

Hermione knew what Bethany said was true because her hair has really started to look good now. It wasn't frizzy any more but fell in to nice ringlets. She had also grown taller and has filled out. Plus after that accident with Malfoy her teeth were normal too. Trying to get the attention off of her she turned to Hope and asked her how her love life was.

"Well there was this one guy but we broke up because we hardly ever got to see each other. He went to my school two years ago but he travels a lot now," Hope said blushing.

The three other girls squealed, and started asking questions about him. "What is his name?" asked Hermione.

"Oh who cares about his name, was he shaggable?" asked Maggie. All the other girls started laughing at Maggie's choice of a question.

"Well his name was Viktor Krum, and yes I would say he was shaggable," Hope laughed. At that all the other girls laughed and the conversation turned Bethany's love life but Hermione wasn't really paying attention because she was thinking about what Hope had said. Viktor Krum? It couldn't have been the same Viktor Krum I knew could it? It could have been a coincidence. But wait, didn't she say she went to school with him? No it must have been a coincidence, there is probably just more then one Viktor Krum in the world, but it isn't a very common name is it? But the Viktor she knew was a wizard, and Hope is a muggle, right?

Hermione was lost in thought as the girls turned the light off and she fell asleep.
