Caught Between Cousins
-CHAPTER ONE-
THE ATTRACTIVE BOY
Hermione Granger lay awake in her bed of her parents house, feeling the cool breeze coming in from the window of her bedroom.
She glanced over at her clock it read 10:30, she had been lying in bed for over half of an hour, Hermione finally decided that she already wasted enough time laying in bed and decided to go take a shower, and with that she pulled off her covers and headed for the bathroom.
When Hermione had finished her shower she dried her hair with a simple spell she at learned at her boarding school; Hogwarts of witchcraft and wizardry.
Hermione loved it there she was one of the brightest witches in her year and had two of the best friends in the world: Harry Potter and Ron Weasley.
Harry Potter was a famous boy with messy black hair and scar on his forehead that was given to him by a dark lord by the name of lord Voldemort who had killed both of his parents. Harry had been friends with Hermione since her first year of Hogwarts.
Ron Weasley was a tall red haired boy who also had been friends with Hermione since her first year of Hogwarts, though he and Hermione disagreed a lot they still remained best friends.
When Hermione had finished with her hair and put on a bit of make up, she headed off down stairs to her kitchen to get a bite to eat.
"Morning dear" her mother greeted her
"mornin" Hermione grunted
"Sleep well?" her mother asked
"Fine" Hermione answered, as her father walked into the kitchen
"Morning Hun" he said kissing her mother on the cheek
"Sleep well Hermione?' her father asked
"Fine dad" Hermione said starting to get annoyed
"you know it's a beautiful day outside" her father said
"yeah dad I can see, I'm not blind you know" Hermione said pointing at the window
"well maybe you should go and get some fresh air" her mother suggested " you haven't been out much since you've got home from school and school isn't that far away"
" mom I don't know anyone around here I'm not home most of the year, what's the point in trying to make friends"
"because when you are home you don't have to waste your whole time inside like you have been doing this whole summer" Hermione's mother snapped
"I have been doing things this summer mother, I'll have you know that I have read the entire Hogwarts history series that's including the books from the 1600's" Hermione declared
"Hermione you are not in school, go outside have some fun" her father said finally taking part in the conversation
"Fine" Hermione said as she walked to the front hall, grabbed her shoes, and stormed out the door.
Hermione walked around her neighbour hood for a bit before noticing a old childhood park, Hermione had been to this park when she was little her parents use to bring her here all the time, but since she had started attending Hogwarts she hadn't been here much. She skipped over to a swing and sat down and started to swing.
Hermione had never really had many friends back at her hometown she never bothered to make any she thought what was the point she would see them for two months and possibly Christmas and Easter depending on what Harry and Ron were up too.
Before Hermione knew it she was swinging very high.
Hermione always loved swinging it was her favourite thing to do at the park she would spend hours just swinging back and fourth back and fourth, she would pump her legs until she was satisfied with the height
And with that Hermione began pumping her legs until she was swinging so high she felt like she could swing over the bar holding the swings.
"I bet I could swing higher then that" a voice called
Hermione whipped her head around to see a tall dark haired boy with long legs and short brown hair, deep blue eyes, and very attractive, starring at her.
"What?" Hermione called back to the attractive boy starting to slow down the swing until it came to a complete stop
"I said" the boy repeated "that I could swing higher then you were on the swings"
"Yeah ok" Hermione said under her breath, like who was this guy just to march right up to her and say that he is better at her then something
"How do you know?" Hermione spat back at the boy "how do you know I'm not going to the…er… Olympics! For swinging on a swing?"
The boy just laughed "I highly doubt that your going to the Olympics for swinging on the swings seeing that is no such sport" said the boy
"Not yet" Hermione threw back at the boy
"Not yet eh?" the boy asked sounding amused by the strange conversation
"you wait, one day they will have olympic sport for swinging, and when they do you'll see me there winning the gold metal" Hermione said sounding proud of herself but stupid at the same time for making up such a ridiculous sport
"gold metal eh?" the dark haired boy asked "I wouldn't say gold maybe sliver because it is I who will be getting the gold" the boy said
"really" Hermione said as if a challenge had just been brought "you think you can out swing me?"
"in a heart beat" the boy said sounding confident
now since Hermione was never one to turn down a challenge she thought she would just take up this opportunity
"fine" Hermione said starting to pump her legs on the swing "the person who can swing the highest wins"
"ok but lets make this interesting" the boy said walking over to the other swing next to Hermione and beginning to pump his legs
"how do you mean?" Hermione asked
"Whoever wins must buy the other person um….ice cream I could go for that right now" the boy chuckled
"well maybe if your lucky I will let you have a bite of my ice cream that you will be buying me" Hermione laughed
"buying you oh we'll see about that" the boy said about half way in the air
"by the way I like chocolate" the boy said giving Hermione a strange smirk
"I don't care" Hermione threw back at him "because I like vanilla"
Hermione and the boy were swinging very high at this point, higher then Hermione was when she first was on the swing
"wait how will we know who the winner is?" Hermione asked the attractive boy "hmmm" the boy thought "ok in the next 10 seconds who ever is the highest wins ok" the boy said smiling at Hermione
Hermione blushed and looked away
10! She shouted pumping her legs as fast as she could
9! The boy shouted
8…
7…
6…
5…
4… Hermione and the boy continued to say
3…
2…
Hermione was pumping harder then she ever had in her life she looked over at the attractive boy and saw that she was swinging slightly higher then he was
1! Hermione shouted I WIN!! Hermione roared
the boy looked upset but happy at the same time as her gleamed at her
"so you said your favourite flavour was vanilla?" the attractive boy asked
Hermione nodded forgetting about the bet they had made
Hermione and the boy slowed there swings down and jumped off.
They walked in silence for a while, Hermione wanted to say something to this attractive boy but she couldn't seem to find her voice
"so" the boy began " are you from around here, I don't think I've seen you before"
"yeah I am"
"what school do you go to then?"
"Hogw- Hermione paused for a second "a boarding school"
"oh" the boy replied "I guess that's why I have never seen you" he said with a smirk
"so your pretty much gone the whole year?" the boy said frowning
"yeah most of it" Hermione answered as they were arriving at the ice cream parlour,
this was another one of Hermione's old childhood memories, her parents use to take her here after her dance recitals.
"I remember this place" Hermione said admiring the building
"yeah this place has been around for a while" the attractive boy said holding the door open for her"
Hermione blushed and walked inside
"my parents said this place was around when they were kids, do you know how old this place must be then?" the boy said laughing
Hermione joined in on the laughter, she was surprisingly having fun with this boy, even though she didn't know his name
After getting there ice creams they both went and found a spot to sit
"by the way how old are you, I think you look seventeen, am I right?" the attractive boy asked
Hermione chuckled "yes, well I will be in a month, and let me guess your seventeen to?" Hermione asked starring at the boy
"mmhm" the boy said
"I know your probably getting annoyed with all these questions but I still have one more" the attractive boy said starring at Hermione
"shoot"
"I would like to know your name" he said starring at her with his gorgeous eyes
Hermione smiled and answered "Hermione, Hermione granger"
The boy smiled and nodded
"what about you?" Hermione asked egger to know the boys name
"Johnny, Johnny Malfoy"
