Only You (Hermione X OC)

Chp.5

Beginning of second year
~Artemis~
Artemis sat on top of a hill that wasn't too far from her house. When you looked out, you could see a beautiful forest with a beautiful lake. The size of the lake was average. From the forest you could hear birds chirping and the leaves moving against the wind. She twirled her butterfly knife in her right hand as she was reading a book about defense against the dark arts. She came across something very interesting that intrigued her. The topic was necromancy. But she didn't get the chance to read it because footsteps approach her from behind. Artemis closed her book before she toss her knife in the air then catching it safely.

"Dinner is almost ready." Her mother says from behind her.

Artemis stood up to her feet as she held her book and knife in her hands. She turned around towards her mother with a small smile on her face. They both walk inside together. Once inside they sat down at the dinner table and their food was brought out to them.

"So Artemis, are you excited to go back to school?" Her dad asks.

She look over at her father, who was sitting to her left as her mother was sitting in front of her. He has really green eyes, an imperial type beard, slick back black hair that was short but not to short. He's lean but really muscular. He was just wearing a plain black shirt with jeans. Artemis nods her head.

"Yup, but I'm mostly excited to see my friends." She says before taking a bite of her pork chop.

"Like the girl we meet in the muggle world that one day?" Her father asks.

She nods her excitedly as she swallowed her food. "Hermione?! Yes, I'm really excited to see her again. I have lots to talk to her about."

"What are you excited to talk to her about?" Her mother asks.

"You know about how her summer went, about the lessons we'll be learning this year, and more." She answered.

When dinner was over, Artemis went up to her room to pack her things for the school year. As she was packing her things, she remember something very important.

"Isn't Harry's birthday?"

She grabbed a piece of parchment paper and started writing on it wishing Harry a happy birthday. She then grabbed a lighter and burned the paper, hopping that it'll reach Harry.

Few days later, she got up to get ready to go to Diagon Alley. She put on black jeans, a black hoodie, and black shoes. When she was finished, she walked downstairs to see that her parents were ready. She was surprised to see that her father was there because she thought that he had a meeting.

"I thought you had a meeting, father?"

"It got rescheduled a different day. Are you ready to go?"

She nods her head as she made her way towards the fireplace. She said the words and the next thing she knew, she arrived at Diagon Alley. She stepped out of the fireplace and look around. It was exactly what she remembered from last year. She then heard her parents arriving. They then head towards Flourish and Blotts to get her school books.

Artemis looked around for any sign of a bushy haired girl but she didn't see her. When they enter into the shop, they saw Lucius Malfoy and Arthur Weasley fighting. But the two instantly stopped when they saw who walked in.

"What's going on here?" Her father said taking a step forward, glaring at the two older men.

Artemis mimic her fathers glare as she looks their direction. The Malfoy throws a book back at Ginny before him and his family left the store. She glared at them as they left.

"Artemis?"

Artemis turned her head to where she heard someone call her name. When she did, she saw Hermione in front of her. A smile crept to her face.
