Third Person P.O.V:

Upper Hogsfield

It was around fall when Hermione spotted her.

She had decided to take a stroll through the Hogsmeade fields and found herself in the little village just north of the bigger province. Hermione was talking to an outside vendor about the best place to buy fresh Ashwinder Eggs when someone caught her eye.

A young woman she didn't recognize. She was carrying a crate of Wiggenweld potions to another shop nearby. The sun seemed to shine a spotlight that only Hermione could see like Merlin was slapping her face with destiny.

Or she was being delusional...to each their own.

"Who is that?" Hermione had asked the vendor as she watched the girl knock on the door, struggling slightly as she tried not to drop the crate onto the ground.

"That's Y/n Y/l/n. She's the new delivery girl for the Apothecary in Diagon Alley, always wearing that smile! Even when she has to deliver in horrible weather conditions." They say with a chuckle as they clean their glasses with the edge of their shirt.

Hermione felt her jaw hang open slightly as she watched Y/n greet the recipient of the potions when the door opened finally.

The way her shoulders relaxed when the weight of the crate was relieved from her hands. The way her smile somehow shined brighter when the woman thanked her and paid for the delivery with a generous tip.

Hermione jerked forward slightly when Y/n took a confident step back, almost stumbling off the small step up. She caught herself by stepping down with her other foot, but a small laugh was shared between the woman and her.

"Close your mouth darlin', or you'll catch flies" the man chuckled as he broke Hermione from her gaze. She quickly clamped her jaw shut, clearing her throat in an attempt to hide her embarrassment of being caught.

Her eyes flickered from the product, then back to Y/n as she walked over to the small dolly that held three other crates that needed to be delivered.

She had to have gone to Hogwarts, but a part of Hermione swore she would have at least seen her face once or twice around the grounds. Yet, she had no idea where this Y/n came from.

"I'd go introduce yourself before she leaves," the man says as he puts his glasses back on, but realizes that Hermione is already walking away.

She approached Y/n with light footsteps, trying not to draw any attention to herself. Her breath was bated as she watched Y/n secure the rest of the product meticulously, checking and tightening the straps to make sure everything was in place.

Hermione could sense the care and attention Y/n was putting into the task, and it made her feel secure. After finishing with the straps, Y/n slowly pulled the dolly onto its wheels, ensuring that everything was balanced and stable before proceeding.

As the brunette was about to speak, she noticed a sudden movement in the corner of her eye, capturing her attention. Within a fraction of a second, Y/n disappeared from the spot where she was standing, leaving Hermione annoyed when she turned back to find the area empty.
