Most Eligible Bachelor in all of Britain! Yes, this is in reference to Harry Potter, the Boy-Who-Lived and was solely responsible for the demise of he-who-shall-not be named. 28 year old Harry was sitting at the dinner table with his parents, James and Lily Potter. On the fateful Halloween night when Harry was merely a year old, Voldemort apparated directly to Harry's chamber to kill the boy while his parents were fast asleep. This resulted in the killing curse backfiring, a dead monster and a child with a scar on his forehead. Harry had an eventful seven years in Hogwarts where there were several attempts made on his life and resulted in the final battle where he killed Voldemort.
After Hogwarts, Harry went through an existential crisis wondering what his true purpose in life was. He had worked very hard in his schooling but always felt that his purpose in this universe was far greater than what was burdered on his shoulders...to see to the demise of Lord Voldemort. His parent were very instrumental in sheltering him from the expectations of the mass and to search deep within himself for his greatest desires and aspirations. "The sky is the limit" his father would say who has been the Minister of Magic for the past 10 years. He deeply admired his father for his compassion, his dedication and his desire to do the right thing. If Harry was being honest with himself, we wanted to be just like his father. His father worked tirelessly to ensure that the people of Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were united in their efforts when there were so many objections from within. It was becoming harder and harder for him ways to unify his people given the recent craze about purebloods. Although James himself was a pureblood and came from a long line of Gryffindor royalty, he married a commoner and didn't believe in "blood". As he watched his son, he realized how similar his son was to him.
Harry had always been taken by law enforcement. After he finished at the top of his class in Hogwarts, he travelled for the summer in search of his destiny and decided he wanted to be an Auror. He was a natural in this department which was largely due to his experience in the field. It was easier for him to climb the ranks but he soon realized that he would have very little influence in shaping the wizarding world from the field. He was very interested in Law Enforcement and within a matter of years he was promoted to the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. His parents were very proud of him as he was merely 23! The youngest head in over a 100 years, yes that was certainly something to be proud of but Harry had other plans. He wanted to follow in his father's footsteps and one day become the Minister of Magic so he can truly make a difference.
Ofcourse being rich and famous has its down sides. He would be approached my women wherever he went for autographs on body parts, dates, marriage proposals, etc. He wasn't too keen on being the proverbial piece of meat. Harry was 6 ft, muscular and was ruggedly handsome. He had a slight beard that made him the object of every woman's alas, he wanted a woman with substance, a woman who could have everything she ever wanted on her own but wanted to be with him for him. At the age of 28, he could not ignore the fact that he had dated a handful of women and Mrs Right was no where in sight. Harry was ready to settle down but argued with his mother nonetheless.
"Mother will you please spare me the look? Its not like I choose to be single. Its tough out there and you know how I feel about the tarts who are after my fame and money."
"Darling its just that I know there is someone perfect out there for you but while you guard that heart of yours, you'll miss out on love" Lily exclaimed.
James listened to the their argument while the wheels in his mind were already spinning.
Everyone knew Hermione Granger by name. She was voted Most Eligible Bachelorette in Britain for the past 5 years by Witch Weekly. She was 5'7" and her beauty was a force to be reckoned with. With wavy light brown hair, shiny brown eyes and red lips, she became the epitomy of sex appeal. Her father was the CEO of Gringotts and her mother was decendant of Ravenclaw royalty. She grew up around a lot of money but her parents made sure that she did not grow up to be spoiled. Although she had everything she ever wanted, went to one of the most expensive boarding schools in the world, she never took anything for granted. She was passionate about the rights of house elves and others who were wrongly discriminated against by the Wizarding World. Needless to say, her parents were extremely proud of their well rounded daughter.
She was first approached to become a model when a reporter from Vogue Paris doing a piece on Beauxbatons spotted her among 500 other girls, eating lunch. Hermione was 16 at the time and as any teenage girl she thought this would be a great opportunity for her. She too was top of her class but her individualism was evident in her fashion. She loved expressing herself through fashion and was known as the girl to seek if you were looking for the perfect outfit. She was somewhat of a stylist to her friends and her opinion was always valued.
"Hi I wanted to introduce myself to you. I am Anna and I work for Vogue Paris and here today shooting some pictures for a piece on your school. Do you have a minute to chat?" Anna asked.
"Sure I guess I could spare a few minutes. My name is Hermione Granger and I'm-"Hermione was interrupted by Anna.
"As in the child of Phillip and Jane Granger from Ravenclaw?" Anna persued.
"Guilty as charged" Hermione said sheepishly.
"Say, you are more gorgeous than I ever imagined you to be. What to do you say about coming out to Hogsmeade for a little chat with me and my editor about your experiences at Beauxbatons this Friday? I hear you have a scheduled trip there this week so this would be perfect! I can talk to your headmistress for you and this would be a great way to do something nice for your school. You can even bring a friend if you like."
"I will have to get back to you on that via owl if that is alright" said Hermione politely.
Hermione knew this woman had an ulterior motive to get her out to Hogmeade for a mere interview but she figured she would go with the flow and take her best friend with her, Luna Lovegood. That meeting changed her life as she met Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue. Not only was she offered a postion to be a staff model, she would be able to keep the clothes! This all seemed surreal to her in the beginning as she was always very shy and never thought of herself to be beautiful.
Modeling was a lot of fun for her as she got the chance to be a part of a world that others dream of. She was also able to use her fame to bring attention to the causes that were important to her such as S.P.E.W. an organization built by her for elfish welfare. Along with her fame came droves of proposals from young men who were smitten by her good looks and her even better qualifications. Even with all this attention, she felt very alone. At 25, she had yet to find someone who knew the real Hermione, someone to share he successes with.
Tomorrow would be a very important day. Both sets of parents would be meeting over dinner to discuss the recent turmoil in the Wizarding world and ways to make it more stable. They would need to think outside the box but little did their children know, it involved them both!
Let me know what you guys think! Its my first fanfiction and i am in the market for a Beta!
