Y/N POV

Dear Y/N,

I hope you and your family are well and enjoying America. I've heard the magical community is kind of like ours, except they don't have the Ministry of Magic, but instead they have something called MACUSA. Could you tell me about it when we meet again before school?

Anyways, my parents and I have gone to France, and it is so beautiful here! I sent you some photos of some buildings we visited, I hope you like them! I miss you so much, I can't wait to see you again soon. We have got to talk more about the places we've been to when we see each other again.

Again, I miss you so much and I can't wait to see you soon!

Love, 'Mione

XOXOXO

I read Hermione's most recent letter over and over again. While we came to New York in America to learn what Grindelwald did here when he was disguised as Percival Graves, she went to visit France with her parents for vacation, but she was still worried for us after that revelation. I'm glad that she hasn't thought anything different about us. One of her photos had her standing in front of the Eiffel Tower with her writing saying, "Missing you loads, - Hermione." with a little heart next to it.

I'm kinda liking New York, it's rather extravagant. Mum had to visit MACUSA tonight for anything about what happened here in 1926, so Lana, Luna, and I stayed back in our hotel room. Besides we had something else to do.

According to the plan that McGonagall, Dumbledore and Mum made, we were to become Animagi. Grindelwald was a known master of human transfiguration, so they wanted us to know what it was like to turn from animal to human flawlessly before we moved on to that.

We've been holding a Mandrake leaf in our mouths for a month and saying the incantation, "Amato Animo Animato Animagus" everyday, which was one of the requirements for becoming an Animagus. Luna had been supervising us since she came with us.

The next step was to drink the Animagus potion during a lightning storm, which was happening right now.

Lana and I sat down, wands to our hearts and repeated like we always have, "Amato Animo Animato Animagus." and chugged the potion down our throats. My stomach began to churn and I felt like I was going to vomit. I bent down on my hands as I felt them changing to a wolf's paw. I looked up at Lana who shrunk and her arms turned into large wings. As the feeling in my gut finally went away, I looked back at Lana, but instead I found an eagle standing in her place. This must be her Animagus form. Luna stared at us with a smile on her face.

I looked at myself in a mirror next to us, to find a white wolf in my place. I still maintained my silver eyes, but my skin or fur in this case was white like Snowball's fur. Lana turned back into herself and gasped. "You're an Arctic Wolf!" She said in amazement as I turned back. "You looked so awesome!"

"Me?" I said in bewilderment. "You're an eagle! You can fly!"

"You both kept your silver eyes." Luna said delightfully. "Your glasses didn't show up when you turned into a wolf, Y/N."

A while before we came to America, my vision was a little crooked so I had to get some glasses. I got a pair that reminded me of Harry's. I hope he's doing okay with the Dursleys. He mentioned that someone named Aunt Marge was coming to visit. As for Ron, he still talks to us. But now for some reason, everytime I mention him, Lana has started to blush. Luna and I think that she fancies him and sometimes, we tease her about it. Kinda like how she did when she knew I fancy Hermione.

"You both have your animagus form?" Mum asked as she entered the room. "A wolf and an eagle? Guess it runs in the family then."

Before we could question what she meant, she took a couple steps back and spread her arms out. Her body contorted and soon enough, the same eagle form Lana took was in flying in front of us. As she turned back, Lana gasped.

(A/N: Miss Peregrine's home for Peliculiar Children! If Miss Peregrine existed in HP, would she known as an Animagus? Also I know this is a falcon, but imagine it's an eagle.)

"We have the same Animagus form?" She asked her.

"That happens sometimes." She said with a smile. "Your father was also a wolf, Y/N. But now we have a few days to get back to England. Arthur and Molly owled saying that we would meet them at the Leaky Cauldron. Apparently, Harry made his aunt float out of the Dursleys house. He's been there since yesterday. Good thing we have a fireplace, since I've asked MACUSA to connect this one to the pub so we can meet up with them."

"Gotta love Floo Powder." I said with a smirk.

Hermione POV

The Weasleys owled me a couple days ago that they would pick me up from my home in Hampstead after we came back from France, and they assured me that they will not fly here, since there are Muggles in my area. I was really quite excited to see everyone again, Y/N, Lana, Harry, Ron, the twins, Ginny, Luna...

The Weasleys also said that Y/N and Lana would be there at the same time as we would be, but the last time I talked to them, they were still in New York. I'd have to wait to see. I was really excited for 3rd year, quite honestly. This year, we would be able to go to the magical village Hogsmeade and from what I've heard from Lana, it's absolutely incredible. She suggested that I go with Y/N so that we could have some time together, just to ourselves. She told me that she would put Harry and Ron in another direction if it came to that.

Soon enough, The Weasleys arrived and we headed off to the Leaky Cauldron, where Harry was staying. As we arrived at the Leaky Cauldron at night, we all booked our rooms. Each Weasley shared a room, Fred and George, Ron and Percy, and Ginny shared a room with me. We decided to talk for a while about our respective vacations until Mrs. Weasley excitedly called us all downstairs.

"Everyone downstairs!" Mrs. Weasley yelled. "Look who's coming through!" As the other Weasleys and I ran downstairs, I caught a glimpse of a fireplace whose fires had turned green, meaning someone was coming through with Floo Powder. Eventually, someone stepped out of the fire. He had his signature overcoat on, his blond hair was a little messy, but still cute as always and he now wore glasses similar to Harry's. I smiled as I saw Y/N step out of the fire as Lana, Luna and his Mum stepped out after.

Y/N stepped out of the way of the fire and smiled as I ran up to him and hugged him tight. "I've missed you so much." I said. "I've missed you too, 'Mione." He said as he hugged me back. "So much."

As we separated, I still hung on to him. "How was New York? I love your glasses, by the way."

"Really good," he said with a smile. "And thank you for the glasses. How was France?"

"Really good, I loved it!" I said. "Did you get any of the photos I sent you?"

"I did, and I think I found my favorite of the ones you sent." He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a photo and showed me it. It was the one of me in front of the Eiffel Tower with the small note I wrote. "You looked cute in it. And I love the Eiffel Tower."

I blushed a little. This boy really knew how to do it. "Oh, and I forgot to tell you, I now have an American accent." Y/N said.

"Really? Can you show me?"

"Yeah, just give me a moment." He quickly cleared his throat. "Hey, I'm from the North, I watch the Yankees and everybody loves hot dogs!" he said perfectly.

I giggled as Y/N's mum came to us. "You must be Hermione." She said kindly. "Y/N and Lana have talked a lot about you. Y/N especially."

"Mum!" He said, embarrassed and back to his normal British, while I still giggled.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Lovegood" I said politely as I shook her hand while she smiled. "Please, call me Addison, sweetheart. It's very nice to meet you in person. How long have you known Y/N?"

"I've known him for three years now." I said as I unconsciously took his hand. "He's a very incredible person and I'm so glad to know him. He's even saved my life before."

Y/N blushed as he took his other hand to scratch his head. "Really, Y/N?" Addison asked him. "I didn't know you're such a ladies man."

"Mum!" He said, embarrassed again and blushing while he was still holding my hand.

"Oh, okay, I'll stop." Addison giggled. "I have your room key, you, Lana and Luna are sharing in 618."

"Oh, that's right next to me and Ginny!" I said excitedly as Y/N received the room key. He took his things as I helped him with the rest of them while Lana and Luna were talking to the Weasleys. After I helped Y/N unpack, I sat on his bed and asked him, "Hey, Y/N?"

"Yeah, 'Mione?"

"You know that promise I made you and Lana last year? Before we left?"

"Yeah, of course. What about it?"

"I meant every word, you know. I'll be there for you, no matter what."

"I know, 'Mione." He said as he stopped unpacking, came to me and placed his hands on mine. "And I'm glad you will be. It means a lot to me." He quickly kissed my cheek and brought me back to my feet.

"Are you both feeling okay? After what Riddle said?"

He sighed. "I'm not going to lie, Lana and I were terrified." He said as I still held to his hand. "But there are some advantages that we have. According to Dumbledore and Grandma, we both have powerful magic, maybe even more powerful than Voldemort. That's why he tried to recruit Mum some many years ago. Dumbledore even arranged for us to have Magical Training during our classes."

"How?" I asked him. "From what I remember from 2nd year, we signed up for more classes like Divination, Muggle Studies..."

"Well, Grandma said I could tell you..." Y/N began. "You, Lana and I are going to use Time Turners to get to them. Since you're the only one taking Arithmancy, Lana and I will go to Dumbledore for our history and magic."

Lana and Luna came into the room with their things and started to get ready for bed. "I think we've got to get to bed soon, so talk to you in the morning?"

"Yeah, that sounds great." He said. "I would love getting to hear more about France."

"Good!" I said with a smile. "Tell me more about New York tomorrow too." I then quickly pecked his cheek as he blushed and smiled too. "Talk to you soon. Good night."

"Good night, 'Mione."

Darn it! I forgot to ask him about Hogsmeade! I'll have to ask him when we're alone at Hogwarts.

The next day, we all got up around the same time and started to begin the day. We all met up with Harry, who had his books already delivered by the Minister of Magic himself, due to the threat of notorious murderer Sirius Black. But Harry still accompanied the four of us around Diagon Alley and asked us about our vacations.

"Egypt, New York, France." Harry asked. "What's it like?"

"Brilliant!" Ron said. "Load of old stuff...like mummies, tombs, even Scabbers enjoyed himself. He's been feeling sick after though.. Have to find some Rat Tonic."

"New York's very big, Harry." Lana said. "And the magical community is even bigger. It's very extravagant." Y/N agreed with her.

"France is very lovely." I continued. "They don't call it the city of love for nothing. Loads of couples were there on the streets of Paris."

'Hopefully Y/N and I will have that moment too...'

We paid a visit to Magical Menagerie to get Ron's rat tonic. While Harry and Ron went to look for it, Y/N and Lana were looking for treats for Snowball and Patch. Lana went off into another section of the store leaving me and Y/N alone. And that's when I saw it.

A very hairy and ginger-colored cat. And it was so adorable. Mum and Dad did give me some money as their birthday gift to me, so I thought about adopting it. Y/N laid his eyes on the cat, walked up to it and brushed the cat's fur as it purred. An older witch noticed and came to us.

"Did- did you just pet Crookshanks?" She asked Y/N. "And he didn't do anything?"

"Yes?" Y/N asked. "Was he supposed to do something?"

"No matter. Do you want him?"

"I already have a cat of my own, but I think Hermione here would like him." he said with a small smile.

"Yes, I would like to adopt him, please." I said politely.

"Thank you both!" The witch said in joy. "That cat has been nothing but trouble for us. You and your boyfriend have done us a huge favor."

I blushed madly as she called Y/N my boyfriend, just like how Draco called me Y/N's girlfriend. I didn't even notice Y/N was blushing even harder than me. "Oh, um, y-yeah, no-o problem." Y/N stuttered. "Have a nice day, ma'am."

We went ahead and bought some food for Crookshanks and some treats for him and Snowball. Y/N paid for it all, which he didn't need to, but I appreciate the thought.

"You know, Crookshanks is really nice with you and me." I said as Crookshanks made himself comfortable in my arms. "Why did those people say he was trouble?"

"I dunno." Y/N said, as he brushed Crookshanks' hair again. "He said he's beginning to like us, by the way. He's thinking about it right now."

We then went on to buy our supplies and joined back with Lana, Harry and Ron. As they saw us, Ron gasped. "You did not buy that animal!"

"Why not, Ron?" Y/N asked.

"It attacked Scabbers!" He shrieked. "Scared the life out of him!"

"Ron, it's just a cat." Lana said. "Patch and Snowball don't do anything to Scabbers, Crookshanks is just doing what cats do around mice and rat."

"Say what you want, but I'm telling you, that cat is a beast!" Ron continued.

"I don't know about beast, but he sure is fluffy." Y/N said as he continued to brush Crookshanks as he still purred with affection. 'Y/N has always been good with animals, that's why Crookshanks likes him already.' I smiled to myself.

'I guess I am good with him, Hermione.' Y/N said in my head. 'Sorry, if I talked like this in your head and it freaked you out.'

'It's no problem, I don't mind. Just let me know next time, okay?'

"Besides Crookshanks won't be around Scabbers, he'll be with me in the girl's dormitory while Scabbers will be in yours." I said in real life.

"Fine, just keep him away!"

As we got our things and returned to the Leaky Cauldron, Lana came up to me. "So... did you ask him about Hogsmeade?" She asked me.

"I didn't get a chance to." I said. "The woman in the pet shop kinda caught us off guard from that."

"Oh, well, you still have time to ask before the first trip." Lana said comfortingly. "How did that happen?"

"She called Y/N my boyfriend."

"Ohhh, I see." Lana said. "We should get ready for tomorrow though. I think Y/N told you what Dumbledore told us?"

I nodded. "About the Time Turners? Yeah, he did."

Lana smiled. "That's good. But no one apart from the three of us should know, so don't tell Harry or Ron."

"You got it."

Tomorrow seems like a good day. Hopefully nothing bad will happen.

(A/N 2: Yeah, I know it's a bit of a short chapter, but there will be more to come. Prisoner of Azkaban is one of my personal favorites, along with Goblet of Fire, so I want to make it as good for y'all as possible :) Possibly another chapter on the weekend.)
