Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter and never will. Even though I would gladly take Harry out of J.K Rowling's talented hands! But I do own Clarissa Granger and any other characters I make up.
Summary: Clarissa Granger is the American cousin of Hermione Granger and she's a witch. She went to Salem Witches' Institute instead of Hogwarts because her parents didn't want to go to magic school so far away. After getting expelled from Salem, Clarissa's parents send her to live with Hermione because and her parents. Clarissa goes into her third year at Hogwarts and she gets into the adventure of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Will the events of the book change with Clarissa in the picture? And what will happen when she falls in love with Harry Potter, one of her cousin's best friends?
Warnings: Language, heavy kissing, tiny bit of Ron bashing bashing, and loads of Ginny bashing
Couples: Harry Potter/OC (this couple gets together earlier but not that early so if you don't like stories like that then don't read it) and Ron Weasley/Hermione Granger (this couple will happen much later)
Author's Note: I was reading this Harry Potter with this kind of plot except the girl was Hermione's friend instead of her cousin and I wanted to do my own. It follows the third book with a new character added in. Clarissa is Hermione's second cousin just to let you know so she doesn't look like Hermione's side of the family. If I could chose who she would be portrayed by it would be, Ava Sambora, she's the daughter of Heather Locklear. A picture of what Ava looks like will be posted on my profile. Anyway, enjoy the first chapter of Hermione Granger's Cousin: Year Three!
Chapter One
If you told Clarissa Granger that she would be suspended from the Salem Witches' Institute and that she would be going to live with her cousin and her cousin's parents she would have called you crazy and would ask for the nearest metal hospital. But here she was sitting on a plane on her way to London, England. Clarissa had never even heard of this cousin, Hermione and her parents. She guessed that her parents didn't get along with Hermione's parents so they decided not to tell her about them. Clarissa found it weird that her parents would send her somewhere to live with people they hated.
Clarissa didn't even want to go there even though she did dream of going to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Since she was living with Hermione, who went to Hogwarts, she was going to be able to fulfill that dream of going to the famous school. Clarissa signed as she looked out the window of the plane. There was a dazed look in her eyes. Clarissa was thinking about her parents and about how much she was going to miss them. Life as she knew it was going to change but she couldn't decide if it was a good thing or a bad thing. Clarissa sighed once more before closing her eyes to get much needed sleep.
A soft nudge on her shoulder startled Clarissa awake. She looked around tiredly and she noticed that everyone was off of the plane. Clarissa then looked to her side so she could see the person who had nudged her shoulder. It was a young boy who looked to be fourteen years old, he had brown hair and baby blue eyes that you could just drown in. A dazed look appeared on Clarissa's face as she looked the boy up and a down. The boy looked nervous and she blushed, snapping out of her dazed look. The boy must have thought she was some crazy.
"Sorry about there," Clarissa apologized with the blush still on her face. "It's been a long flight."
The boy cracked a smile causing her to blush even deeper. The boy smirked when he finally noticed the blush.
"Sure has," The boy agreed, and Clarissa's heart fluttered at the sound of his British voice.
Clarissa decided then and there that maybe living in London wouldn't be so bad if all the boys looked like him. The boy held out his hand.
"I'm Samuel Johnson," the boy, or now Clarissa knew as Samuel, said introducing himself.
Clarissa grasped Samuel's hand and shook it once but she didn't let go of it. "Clarissa Granger," she said. "It's nice to meet you Samuel."
Samuel kissed the top of her hand and she seriously almost fell out of seat. "Nice to meet you Clarissa," he said with a flirty smile.
Clarissa couldn't help but giggle loudly. Samuel smiled, charmingly as he let go of her hand.
"We should be getting off of the plane," he said watching as Clarissa got up and smoothed out the wrinkles in the skirt that she was wearing.
"Yes of course," Clarissa said, agreeing. "I would rather die than get stuck on this plane." She joked rather badly but he found it funny.
Samuel laughed. "Your funny," he told her after he stopped laughing. He smirked when Clarissa blushed.
Clarissa quickly went down the path that would lead her out of the plane with Samuel following right behind. Once off of the plane, the two said goodbye to one another as Samuel had seen his parents as soon as he got off the plane. Clarissa watched as Samuel walked towards his smiling parents and she smiled. She wondered if she was ever going to see him again. Clarissa glanced around for her aunt, uncle and cousin. After looking for a couple minutes, she finally spotted them holding a banner in green letters that said, 'Welcome to England Clarissa'. Clarissa grinned as she made her way over to them. A girl that was standing next to her parents had bushy brown hair and bucked teeth and her lean arms were around a rather large book. Clarissa guessed that this was her cousin Hermione. As soon as she was in front of them, Emma Granger, pulled her into a rather tight hug that cut off her breathing. She finally pulled away from the hug and Clarissa took large breaths. Emma grinned.
"Clarissa, it's been a long time," she said happily. "How are your parents?" Her voice was concerned when she asked.
Clarissa wondered why her aunt was concerned for her parents. She kept that to herself as she replied to Emma's question.
"Oh their fine," she told her, and Emma let out a breath of relief.
"That's good," Emma said. She looked at Hermione. "Love, this is your cousin Clarissa."
Hermione smiled shyly. "Nice to meet you," she said politely. "I've heard such great things about you."
"Me too," Clarissa lied with a fake smile, not wanting to mention the awful things that her Mother said about Hermione and her parents. "So . . . are we going?"
Emma nodded, smiling. "Yes of course," she said. "Let's get going. David is outside waiting for us."
Clarissa titled her head to the side. "Who's David?" she asked confused.
"My husband," Emma replied. Clarissa's mouth made an 'o' shape as she nodded her head causing Emma to smile. "Come on then loves, don't want to keep him waiting longer."

Clarissa was now sitting in the back seat of the Granger car with Hermione, who was reading the book that she was holding in her arms back at the airport.
"Hermione," she said wanting to start up a conversation.
"Yes," Hermione said looking up from her book.
"What book are you reading?" Clarissa asked.
Hermione's brown eyes started to sparkle. "Hogwarts: A History," she gushed. "It's my favorite book. I've tried to get my friends to read it but there not into reading like I am."
"Oh, I've never read that book before," Clarissa said. "I went to the Salem Witches' Institute in America and they didn't have Hogwarts: A History at the library over there."
"What was it like going to school in America?" Hermione asked curiously.
"It was alright," Clarissa told her. "I really wanted to go to Hogwarts, but my parents didn't want me to go to a magic school so far away from home."
Hermione nodded. "Oh," she said. "You're just going to just love Hogwarts. I couldn't imagine going to another school other than Hogwarts."
Clarissa grinned brightly. "I bet," she agreed. "It's always been a dream of mine going to Hogwarts now that I've gotten expelled from the Salem Witches' Institute."
Hermione suddenly looked horrified. "How did you get expelled?" she asked with wide eyes.
Clarissa rolled her eyes. "It was for something really stupid," she told her cousin. "I was in Potions class and I did a Potion wrong and I got expelled for it."
"Really?" Hermione said surprised, and Clarissa nodded. "Well that's unethical and barbaric."
"I know right," Clarissa agreed, glad that someone agreed with her. "The only thing good about getting expelled is that I get to go Hogwarts."
Hermione opened her mouth to say something but her Mum interrupted her before she could.
"Sorry interrupt, but we're here," Emma said.
Hermione and Clarissa both glanced out the window and sure enough they were sitting in front of a rather large house. Clarissa's eyes widened.
"This is your house!" she exclaimed with wide eyes. "It's huge!"
Emma laughed. "The beauty of being well paid dentist," she joked, glancing at her husband. "Isn't that right honey?"
"Sure is love," David Granger agreed with a laugh. "Well come on let's go inside."
-HGC-
"This is going to be your room Clarissa," Hermione said, opening the door to the guest room.
Clarissa peered inside of the room. The room was rather large and it had large queen sized bed.
"Wow," Clarissa said amazed. "This is even bigger than my room back at home. I think I'm going to enjoy living here."
Hermione laughed. "I'm glad you like it Rissa," she said.
Clarissa grinned at Hermione. She had taken a large liking to Hermione and her cousin was nothing like her parents said that she was. Clarissa could easily see them becoming best friends.
"Time for dinner girls!" Emma called from downstairs in the kitchen.
"Coming!" Hermione and Clarissa called back in unison.
The two cousins shared a smile with another before leaving the room to eat dinner. After dinner that night, Clarissa was under her covers with her eyes closed. It was clear that she was asleep. Clarissa slept that night dreaming of all the amazing adventures she was going to have at Hogwarts.
