What if Hermione had been born one month premature? Just one month? Why, she'd be a second year in Harry's first year... Discontinued.
It was all so simple. One date was unavailable, so he asked another. Little did Harry Potter realize that a simple change of Yule Ball plans would change his life as he knew it. Started as Yule Ball fic, but hardly classifies anymore. HHr. Now Complete!
