Hermione wanted to scream in frustration thinking that none of her friends wanted to go on vacation with her to a magical tropical island resort located in the Bahamas. “Fine! I’ll go without them and have fun! I am feeling a bit strange and sort of pulling towards one of the islands. Perhaps my destiny is there since Ron broke up with me and I just want to escape England for a while. Is that too much to ask Sevy?” She glanced down at her orange kitty kneazle who just mewed at her.
“Don’t worry! Ginny and Harry agreed to look after you while I’m gone. It’s going to be a weekend retreat.” Hermione told the tiny kneazle when she scooped him up in her arms cuddling him and then placed him in the carrier.
Sevy didn’t protest, knowing that Harry would look after him while his mistress was away. He was used to Harry and Ginny. He blinked his bright green eyes a couple of times when Hermione opened the carrier to let him out at Harry’s place.
“Hey Sevy! Don't worry one bit but we got everything you’ll need here!” Ginny exclaimed as she held the kneazle in her arms showing him his bed, litter box, food and water.
“Thank you Ginny! If you need me, please send me a Patronus!” Hermione exclaimed as she activated their Floo Network.
“We will! And Hermione, have fun!” Ginny exclaimed, hugging her friend feeling a bit worried for her.
“Was that Hermione that just left?” Harry was disappointed that he didn’t see Hermione off.
“Yes, Harry! Oh look Sevy likes you!” Ginny exclaimed, seeing the kitten kneazle looking up at Harry mewling.
Harry picked the tiny fur ball up and murmured, “Don’t worry Sevy! I know you miss Hermione. She’ll come back!” as he tickled underneath Sevy’s chin hearing him purr.

When she reached the Island of Pleasure, Hermione checked in at the hotel, feeling the strange pull very suddenly. She looked around and spied a dark haired man that bore a striking resemblance to Severus Snape. “Sir, who is that man?” Hermione questioned the concierge pointing towards the stranger’s direction.
The Concierge coughed and glanced at his guests list, “A Mr. Kylo Ren. He just arrived some time ago, Miss Granger. Be wary of that one.” He warned Hermione, handing her the room key.
“Thanks!” She smiled at the man who was feeling a bit protective of his new guest.
Before she checked in her room, Hermione ventured towards the bar, finding Mr. Ren drinking a sex on the beach and reminiscing about his past. Kylo felt a strange presence pulling behind him and glanced back to see a young, brown haired witch staring passionately at him.
Kylo beckoned Hermione to join him at the bar and she placed her bag down while Kylo ordered her a drink and some food. “Hi, I am Kylo and you are?”
“Hermione. I am here for the weekend. But I felt this strange pull towards you. Perhaps you have felt it as well?” Hermione bit her lip before taking a sip of her mixed drink.
Kylo smirked as he downed his second sex on the beach, “Yes, it's called a Dyad. I am not from around here. I just showed up from dying on Exegol. Your life force must have been reaching out, calling to me when I appeared on the beach.”
“Exegol? Where is that? Can you show me?” Hermione asked as her curiosity took over hearing the strange man chuckle as he singled the bartender to pay the man.
“Yes, let’s get you settled in your room first. Perhaps you would like something else to eat?” Kylo heard Hermione’s stomach rumbling as he picked up her carry bag.
“That would be good! What would you recommend?” Hermione asked as she was finding herself being attracted to the strange, dark haired man.
“Well, the chicken with pineapple is good. We can have that tonight if you wish along with red wine. Or perhaps you would like to pick out your own exotic dish?” Kylo murmured softly as he found Hermione’s suite, which was right next to his suite.
“How fortunate is this! My bedroom is the one on the left. At least you’ll know someone here, Hermione.” Kylo smiled serenely at her when she opened the door and gasped at her huge suite.
“Just where are you from, Hermione?” Kylo asked her curiously, sensing her strong magic rolling off of her like waves mixing with his own force abilities.
“London. I’m from London and the place where you were born…” Hermione’s voice trailed off as she looked around her living space for the weekend.
Kylo thought about it and replied, “Coruscant. I trust that you haven’t heard of it…” His voice drifted off when he watched Hermione’s expression of disbelief.
“But Coruscant isn’t real!” She exclaimed fiercely to him as she felt his arms wrapped around her waist.
“How does this feel, Hermione? I am real. I am a stranger in a strange world. Lost my family and have no one to return to…” He spoke sadly, feeling Hermione’s lips on his as she kissed him tenderly.
“Food first and we’ll see.” Kylo hinted at a disappointed Hermione, sensing that she wanted to continue. He found the menu and ordered for the two of them to have their food delivered to the room so they could chat in private.
“I don’t know if it's this island or the dyad pulling me towards you. I want more.” Hermione whispered to Kylo who took a bite of the pineapple chicken relishing the taste of it.
Kylo tasted the sweet red wine, missing the wine from Naboo desperately. I am homesick for my grandmother's world apparently. If only I could take Hermione there.
“Kylo, you seem lost in your thoughts. I am worried for you.” Hermione gently grasped Kylo’s hand, noticing that he hadn’t eaten his meal yet.
Kylo sighed and stared into her brown eyes, “I would love to show you where I am from and my real name is Ben. Ben Solo…” His voice trailed off when Hermione kissed him again, suddenly reminding him of Rey.
“I’m sure whatever the challenges that may be thrown at us we can overcome them,” Hermione gently stroked Kylo’s shoulder as he felt the urge to kiss her.
“Let’s finish our meal so I can show you what my home looked like.” Kylo tucked in his meal as they enjoyed eating together.
Hermione found a decent sized bowl and filled it with water while Kylo watched eagerly. “And this is how you make a pensieve?” He questioned her curiously and she nodded yes, whipping her wand out.
“May I?” Hermione asked permission to retrieve Kylo’s memories.
“You may.” Kylo was trusting Hermione a lot more after their delicious dinner.
She dove her head in the pensieve after collecting his memories. The memories became much clearer and she spied….
A zombie looking Palpatine drains the life forces of Kylo and Rey. They were fighting back to stay alive but Kylo collapsed to the ground. “NOOOOO!” shouted Rey as she stood up to fight her grandfather.
Hermione watched Rey in awe as she managed to bring her grandfather down with the combined force energies of all the jedi.
“Ben! Ben!” Rey exclaimed as she cradled him in her arms.
Kylo kissed Rey before fading away and leaving her all alone on Exegol…..
Hermione gasped for air once she viewed the memories, completely understanding how he showed up on Earth. “So, that’s how you appeared here?”
Kylo nodded yes and proceeded to tell her that he made a fortune off signing autographs and posing as a model on the island.
“Wow! Can you still feel Rey through the Force?” Hermione asked curiously as she took a sip of wine.
Kylo closed his eyes and reached out to find Rey in that universe. “No, she is lost to me.” He sighed heavily, feeling a hand on his arm.
“You’ve got me! I’m sure Professor McGonagall would love for you to teach at Hogwarts. That’s where I teach at…” Hermione’s voice drifted off when Kylo rose up to pace.
“You think I would fit in with your wizarding world? I would need someone to teach me.” Kylo’s voice sounded like he could break down and cry but not before Hermione stood up to kiss him soundly.
Kylo felt the bond between them strongly as he gave in and did not resist the urge to take her as a mate. “Hermione, are you absolutely sure….” His voice drifted off again as she kissed him warmly, sensing the emotion of love from Hermione’s kiss.
“There will be no going back once we are bonded. And perhaps one day, I can take you back home.” Kylo vowed as they felt the magic swirl around them.
Hermione gasped when she realized that he had made a magical promise to stay with her and saw the smirk on his face when he picked her up and carried her to his bed.
They kissed sensually, feeling each other's bodies as they intertwined underneath the bed covers. Kylo gazed into her brown eyes feeling their connection strongly through the force.
“Stay with me. I can teach you how to use the force.” He murmured gently into her ear.
Hermione felt a surge of energy between them as she wrapped her legs around his. “I will stay with you! I do feel our connection strongly. Did Rey have that strong of a connection?”
Kylo sighed as he remembered how strong it was between him and Rey. “Yes. Even though I miss her. You are my future.”
“Then I will teach you everything wizard.” She smiled at Kylo who smiled back at her before they resumed snogging.
