Hey guys this is my first fanfic and I was inspired last night by midnightwolf2192's story 'Its Magic'. It's an amazing story and should definitely be checked out. Before reading their story I had never even thought of a Sam/Hermione pairing but reading her story set off ideas for the couple in my head and I just couldn't resist writing one. I am not going to be copying their story idea at all (I sincerely hope, please tell me if I am straying that way!).
It will be set in New Moon and I have planned up til Breaking Dawn and I hope you guys like it! Reviews will be much appreciated because I really need all the feedback I can get. I unfortunately do not have a Beta so I am sorry for any mistakes in grammar or spelling.
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or Twilight!
Chapter 1
A young woman sat under a blossoming tree with a book open on her lap. It was a sunny and peaceful day which she was not used to. The war had ended not a year ago and suddenly she felt out of place, bored. Everyone around her was celebrating, hell she had too, but they were also moving forward with their life. They were settling down and finding the career of their dreams, all except her.
Her light chocolate eyes looked at the words on the page but none of them processed inside her mind. She sighed. Harry and Ginny had gotten together right after the war as did many others; even Neville had found love in Daphne Greengrass. After their kiss at the end of the war Hermione thought that Ron would have asked her out. It was obvious that he fancied her but he made no more moves and slowly Hermione had stopped fancying him and only found that she liked him as a friend.
She had taken to becoming an apprentice to Madam Pomfrey at Hogwarts and had already mastered all medical potions and spells. Hermione had stressed to her the urgency she wanted to learn in case one of her friends might be targeted by left over Death Eaters or supporters and would need immediate help. They had used Hermione's Time Turner to teach Hermione everything within three months and Professor McGonagall had even taught her to become an animagus. She was also taught many other techniques from multiple teachers and helped them to rebuild the school while she was there. She was now almost 19 and had no idea what to do with her life.
She could work at the ministry for equality amongst races but she just felt like she needed a less stressful job. She felt slightly selfish about that decision but she just didn't think she had it in her to successfully take on the job. She thought of teaching as well but after teaching a couple of classes last year when the newly rebuilt Hogwarts started she decided that she didn't want grey hair by the time she was thirty, the kids were stressful and almost drive her crazy on more than one occasion. She wanted to find a job that she enjoyed and that made her feel relaxed and that people would get enjoyment out of.
"Hello Hermione," a light voice said from beside her. Hermione looked up and saw none other than Luna Lovegood who had become Hermione's best female friend. They told each other everything and Hermione even started believing in Luna's odd little magical buddies.
"Morning Luna," she sighed and looked back down to her book.
"Hermione don't you think it's a little odd that you have a book open but have yet to turn a single page in the entire time you have been out here," she replied. Hermione chuckled as her friend sat next to her on the grass.
"Sorry Luna my mind is elsewhere today I guess."
"Yes it is quite obvious," the blond said, "What's on your mind Hermione?"
"I...," she started, "I am not quite sure. I just keep thinking about how everyone has moved on and have started their own lives and...I don't know how to start my own. I don't feel like it's going to be here though."
"Oh I see so you are lost and confused as to where your future will be heading but you do not think it will be here," Luna clarified. Hermione just nodded and leaned her head on Luna's shoulder. Luna had refused to go back to Hogwarts to complete her final year and had instead taken to working at Madam Malkins part time.
"Well that's one of the reasons I had to come and talk to you right now. I had a vision," Luna said and Hermione snapped her head up to look her friend in the eyes. During the war Luna had developed the ability to see small visions of the future but she also said that they were ever changing depending on people's decisions, conscious or not.
"What did you see?" the older girl asked.
"I saw us living in a house in America, a small town called Forks. Tell me Hermione why do muggles insist on naming their towns such obscure names because I find it quite odd that a town is named after a kitchen utensil," Luna said quite confused. Hermione shrugged and laughed but then looked at her again.
"Wait you said Forks?" she exclaimed.
"Yes, I think we maybe going on a vacation of some sorts as we have yet to actually have some time away from everything," Luna said softly. Hermione knew what Luna had meant. They had not stopped their brains or their bodies since the war unlike everyone else that had stopped for a while and then moved on.
"My Uncle Charlie lives there," Hermione smiled remembering her caring uncle. Hermione had yet to find her parents but Kingsley had told her to give up finding them and leave them in Australia a place that hadn't been torn apart from this war. Hermione relented and thought it broke her heart she knew it was best to keep them there instead of in a country recovering from war.
"I think seeing him would be a fantastic idea," Hermione whispered. Luna smiled and stood up, holding a hand out to the other girl.
"Well then I think we should get packing and rent a house in Forks," Luna said with a smile. Hermione grabbed her hand and stood with a smile of her own.
"I'll tell people here and pack our stuff if you go get the house there," Hermione negotiated. Luna nodded and apparated away. Hermione walked into the Burrow where people were bustling about and going about their business. Hermione went upstairs and shrunk all her possessions and went downstairs. She told Molly she would be going shopping and apparated to s small shop in London. She bought a couple of mobile phones so she could keep in contact with people here. She bought one for Harry, Ginny and Ron. She also bout Luna and herself one and went back to the Burrow where she met up with Luna.
"The house is settled but I could only find one on the local reservation called La Push," she explained. Hermione nodded and gave Luna one of the phones, an iPhone that had a light blue diamante case. Hermione had bought herself an iPhone with a light brown diamante case. Luna had also bought her shrunken possessions over and they planned to leave that night.
Luna had also thought ahead and gotten key-cards from Gringotts that would immediately change their money to whatever currency they needed to pay with.
"Are you ready to tell everyone?" she asked. Hermione nodded and they walked into the kitchen where everyone was now having lunch.
"Good day everyone," Luna greeted. Everyone looked up at the two girls and Hermione immediately felt nervous under their scrutiny.
"Good day girls," Molly replied.
"Uh we have something to tell you," Hermione said. Everyone looked at them and gave them their full attention.
"Luna and I have decided that we need a small vacation from...well everything," Hermione started and knew that they knew what she meant, "So we have decided to go on a small vacation to America to visit my Uncle Charlie."
"But-," Harry started protesting but was cut off by Ginny. Said girl stood up and gave the two girls a hug.
"We understand," she said, "We will sorely miss you girls and we hope that you will have lots of fun, right guys," she said turning to look at the rest of her family with her 'look'. They gulped and nodded.
"See everyone is supporting you on this," she said cheerfully.
"Oh we got you these so we can stay in contact, Harry would you mind showing Ginny and Ronald how to work them?" Luna added. Harry nodded as he was passed an emerald green-cased iPhone. Ginny was given a purple cased phone and Ron a red-cased one.
"When are you girls leaving?" Molly asked having gotten over the shock of the news.
"Tonight," they replied in unison.
"Tonight!" she gasped, "But that's hardly enough time to have everything ready for you! And what about food and money and jobs?"
"It's alright Molly we have everything sorted and we are going to find jobs down there when we get there, money is not a problem and if it's alright with you we were going to go and get the rest of our supplies now," Hermione said. She wanted to go and stock up on potion ingredients and drop by to see George before they left.
"That is quite alright dears," she sighed, "But Ginny and I are coming with you."
Ginny and Molly got up and went to get their stuff while Harry and Ron walked over to Hermione.
"Are you sure you want to do this Hermione?" Harry asked with concern shining in his eyes.
"Yes Harry and...I think I need to do this too, ya know?" she replied. Ron nodded and reached forward and hugged her.
"We will miss you but once Harry shows me how to use this...phone...we will 'call' you every day," she said. Hermione felt a small pang of homesickness already and sadness. She pulled Harry to make a group hug.
"You guys are my best friends and I love you both dearly and I will make sure to call you at reasonable hours so I do not interrupt the beauty sleep you boys need so desperately," she laughed. They each gave her a small playful shove while Luna looked on with a soft expression.
The rest of the day was filled with Diagon Ally and shopping. They stopped to see George and for Luna to resign from her job. It was nearing their time to go and both girls were getting excited. They said their last goodbye's and apparated to the back of the real-estate in Port Angeles (Where Luna had gone earlier) and got the keys to their new house. Hermione had all their possessions in her magical purse and told Luna that they would need a car while they were here so they walked over to the local car shop and bought each of them a car. They had learned how to drive when Kingsley said it was a new requirement for witches and wizards over 17.
Luna bought an electric blue 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible with a soft cover roof while Hermione bought a caramel brown 1969 Cadillac DeVille. They got a map to Forks and drove their cars to their new home.
Ok that is the first chapter please R&R!
