The original idea for this fanfic came from a Fanfic called "Pirates and Princesses" by BriarRoseRed I just wanted to expand on it a little ;)

Hope you enjoy it! *SPOILERS*

Hermione opened her big suitcase on top of her bed in gryffindor tower, she couldn't believe how much had happened in the last year, Dumbledore had died, they had defeated lord Voldemort, and all of them had almost died in the process. But now the year was over, and it was time for her to leave this beloved school and move onto bigger things. She had decided to give muggle studies a try, since she had spent her early years of her childhood in the muggle world. Suddenly an owl flew in through the open window, startling Hermione out of her train of thought. The white owl with brown tipped wings dropped a brown letter wrapped in twine, on her bedspread. In elegant letters the letter said Hermione on the front. Curious.. she opened the brown parchment, she stared at the words on the page and read:

Dear Hermione,

We apologize for such a short notice, but at the office we recently won a raffle for a free Caribbean cruise for 2! We will only be gone for about 25 days, but since we won't be home, we have arranged for you to stay with your uncle John in London, he shares a flat with another man, but said that he would be delighted to have you stay. Remember, he has no idea that you are a witch. We will see you soon darling, we love you, stay safe and out of trouble.

Love,

Mom and Dad

P.S Please find someone to care for Crookshanks, they don't allow cats at John's flat

Hermione sighed and folded the letter into her pocket. Why couldn't her parents have just asked her, instead of making her choices for her, she was almost 18, and old enough to take care of herself. But she thought that it may be a good opportunity to start on muggle studies, living back in the muggle world for a while.

Hermione stood in front of a blue door labeled 221B. She took a deep breath, then reached up to the golden knocker in the center of the door. She briskly hit it against the door three times then stood with her hands by her side, she was just about to turn away and double check the address when the door opened. An old woman peaked around the corner.

"Oh!" She exclaimed as she saw Hermione "Who are you deary? You aren't a….. client! Are you?"

"No, no," Hermione said with a chuckle "I'm just here to visit my uncle John!" Hermione stated cheerily

" well then! Come on in!" Said the lady "My name is Mrs. Hudson, I am John's Landlady!"

"Pleasure to meet you!" Hermione smiled
