Mila Waters: A Harry Potter Story

Chapter 4: Hermione Granger

We walk to the bookstore which is near the wand shop and I stare at my wand, admiring it. Then, I accidentally bump into someone. I stammer backwards and say, "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention and I promise it was an accident."
I look up as I'm done apologizing and see that I have bumped into a girl my age, with brown hair and eyes. "Oh, it's completely fine, I was reading and I didn't see where I was going," she says. She seems to realize I'm her age and sticks out her hand. I shake it and she says "I'm Hermione Granger, nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you I'm Mila Waters.
We begin talking about our families and eventually begin walking together. Turns out she has a muggle family( I now know what that is) and we become fast friends.
"What house do you think you'll be in?" she asks. "I don't know, I think I best fit I to Slytherin but I don't know," I say. "I've read that all evil wizards and witches came from Slytherin, " she says. I suddenly hope I wont be in Slytherin.
Eventually, after we have all the necessary supplies we end up in the pet shop. I'm looking at the cats and Hermione is right by my side. "I want a cat," I say. And she answers, "I dont want a pet this year, maybe next year," as she pets a cat. I pick up a small, grey kitten, and she nuzzles my hand. I eventually decide that she is the one I want, we buy her and I begin brainstorming names.
" What should we name her?" I ask Hermione. "Not sure, I like uncommon names though," she answers. I can tell she takes this into thought and she suddenly yells, "Hera!" "I love it," I say she she pets little Hera.
We decide we want to sit with each other on the Hogwarts Express and promise to write before September 1. And my father and I walk home.
