Hermione accompanies the League’s chief pilot and newly designated Skipper of its new orbiting facility Waystation on a combat test of the latest Javelin. The pilot will be flying the upgunned shuttle. Green Lantern will be serving as the outer space adversary.

Notes:
A jump back in time, to hours after the events in Buh–Bye . So you may want to (re)read that first, then come back here. No rush.

See the end of the chapter for more notes.

Happy Birthday, Hermione Granger! And a celebration of another annual event as well. Arrrr!

I wanted to do a few stories set in the ~20 years between Buh-Bye and The Other Minister, so expect more along these lines. More covering what follows Class Reunion will be happening too, never fear.

Quick note for those wondering how the Grangers met Hermione at her gate: this is circa 1998. People could meet arrivals inside, instead outside security.
