Only You (Hermione X OC)

Chp. 7

~Artemis~

Artemis sat on top of the hill looking out in the distance watching mythical creatures flying or walking by below her. The chilly wind blew threw her body, leaving a slight chill through her bones. Lionel and her father approached her from behind. She didn't take her gaze from the amazing creatures. They both sat down on either side of her. 

"Here, your classes for this year." Her father says handing her a parchment. 

She grabs the parchment out of his hand and looked down. She read through them and notice the number of classes she is taking this year. She looks over at her father with confusion. 

"How am I supposed to attend all of these classes? Some of them start at the same time." She asks looking back down at the parchment.

"Once we get to Diagon Alley there's a certain shop we can stop by." Her father says standing up. "But we should get going." 

Artemis stood up from her spot as looks over at Lionel to see him still sitting down. "Are you coming with us, Lionel?" She asks.

"Hm, I think I'll stay her for a while. Oh, and Artemis? Remember what we taught you during our time here. You may need it in the near future." He says looking up at her. 

"I will. Thank you for your help." She says before turning to her father and gave him a nod, signaling that she was ready to leave.

She walks down the busy street of Diagon Alley with her father to her right side. Many people greeted them and provided many smiles as they walked by them. She looked around to see any sign of her friends. To her disappointment, she didn't see them. 

They walked into a nice-looking shop. The storekeeper greeted them with a warm welcome and asked them if they needed any help with finding anything. Her father approached the man with a small smile on his face. 

"Yes, I was wondering if you have any time-turners in stock?"

"Ah, yes. We have quite a few. Here let me grab one for you, sir." The shopkeeper says before walking to the back of the store to grab the item. 

Artemis looked around the shop. She notices that it was very well kept and offered many useful items that could be used for good or evil. She places her hands into her jean pockets. She wore her fancy button up shirt that had small dragon design all around the shirt. Her father wore his usual business suit with a red tie. 

Once the shopkeeper came back with the said item. Her father paid for the item before they both walked out of the shop. He handed her the item. She grabbed it and examined it. It was a necklace with an hourglass in the middle of the circle. 

"Here, this will help you attend all of your classes. All you have to do is spin it and it will rewind time." He explains.

"I feel like there is a but with that." She says as she puts the necklace around her neck. 

"But you can't let your past see you otherwise it will not be good. Use it wisely, also if you skip a few classes you won't get in trouble with me and your mother. You're smart enough to miss a few anyway, but don't let it become a habit. Then we'll have words."

"Of course...Do you think-" She looks around before whispering softly. "Do you think Sirius is okay?" 

Her father looks around for any on lookers. "I'm sure he'll be fine. He knows where to find me if he needs help."

Artemis looks forward as she nods her head, dropping the subject because she knew that this really wasn't a good place to have that conversation. She noticed that they were heading towards the Leaky Cauldron.
