Pairing: Hermione and Sam

Summary: Hermione goes to America to live for a year on assignment in Forks, Washington. While there she meets some unlikely people, the Shape Shifter Wolves of La Push and the Cullen Vampires of the town. What will happen when she falls in love with a member of the wolf pack? What if he imprints on her? Will she even want to go back to England?

Hermione apparated to Malfoy Manor and arrived right outside the front door. She knocked on the door and it was immediately opened by one of the house elves. Hermione remembered that the elf's name was Tiny because she was the tiniest house elf anyone had ever seen.

Missy Mione! Tiny is happy to see you. Are you here to see Missy Cissa and Master Drake and Mister Blaise? Tiny asked Hermione.

Yes Tiny, could you show me where they are? Hermione replied.

Yes Missy Mione, Tiny will show you to the parlor where they be. Tiny told her.

So Hermione followed the little house elf to the parlor where Draco, Narcissa, and Draco were all sitting and drinking tea. As the door was opened Hermione was engulfed in a large group hug from the 3 former Slytherins.

Oh Hermione! I always knew that boy was not right for you but I didn't think that he would do something like this! Narcissa exclaimed.

Yes Mya! I have a right mind to go hex him for making that beautiful smile of yours a frown! Please tell me you punched him as hard as you did me in 3rd year? Draco asked.

Sorella I don't know how you put up with him for so long. I mean really the brightest witch of our age dating Ronald Weasley was really not the best idea on your part. I'm just glad you got rid of him, although I wish it would have been in a different way so he would be crying and not you. Blaise said.

I know you guys. I should've listened to you all. To answer your question Draco, no I didn't punch him. I was too busy packing and crying. I don't even think I want to hit him. I just want too never see him again. This is actually why I came here to tell you all that I will be moving to America for the next year on assignment and I leave on Monday. Hermione explained.

Are you sure this is what you want to do Mya? I mean a year is a really long time and America is very far away. Is this what you want? Draco asked unsure of Hermione's decision.

Yes Draco, I'm as sure as could possibly be. I have had a pull to this assignment ever since Kingsley brought it up to me a month ago. At the time I ignored the pull to it because I was with Ron and I thought that we were in a crucial part of our relationship. I honestly thought the reason he was being distant was because he was going to propose. But yesterday proved me wrong and since Kingsley told me I could take the job at any time I decided now would be the best time. Hermione explained.

Alright, I trust your judgment Sorella but you must promise that you will visit us and write and call us as much as wizardly possible. We'll promise to do the same. Blaise assured her.

Don't worry, I'll be in touch as much as possible. Just promise me that when you come and visit you will call me before you do. I don't think the people of La Push, Washington would like to have a group of pale faced wizards show up in a random area of the town. They are Quileute Indians and they might be a bit offended. Hermione responded.

Of course dear! What exactly are you going to be researching if you don't mind my asking? Narcissa asked curious to why Hermione would be going to Washington of all places in America.

Well Kingsley only told me that there are shape shifters in La Push and Vampires in the surrounding town of Forks and he wants me to find out about the ways they live, because the vampires are vegetarians and the shape shifters are different than animaguses and regular werewolves. Hermione replied.

Well we're happy for you and can't wait to see you again after you get settled. Draco told her giving her a hug.

With that they began talking about lighter topics until Hermione decided it was time for her to go because she needed to go to Diagon Alley and pick up a few things.

I hope you guys liked it. This chapter is a bit longer buts it's still not as long as I'd like. With that being said I'll try harder but this is my first real fic and I haven't gotten the ability to make longer chapters yet. Also I'm sorry for the slow updates but it's hard to juggle this, school, and church. But I'll try to get on a regular schedule soon. Review and tell me what you think and what you want to see. xoxo
