CHAPTER 1:New Arrivals

The silence of the night was broken by three loud pops were heard in the front yard of the Burrow followed by the sound of trunks being dragged on the gravel pathway.

Three teenagers-two girls and a boy were seen standing near the doorway.Both the girls had waist-length bushy brown hair and were tall and slim.The boy with them was also tall and had jet black hair.

Hermione Granger moved forward and smartly rapped on the door of the kitchen.Immediately,a feminine voice asked,"Is that you Hermione dear?"

"Yes,Mrs Weasley.It is me and I have brought them both with me."

The kitchen door opened."Very well on in children."

"Mrs Weasley,let me introduce you to my cousin Amanda Granger and her boyfriend,Roger Fernando.They both are from India."

"Hello,dears.You must be tired after your long trip.Go to your rooms and freshen up.Hermione,"she said,"show them their rooms."

They both mumbled their hellos obviously really conscious in the strange surroundings.

"Oh! And there is no need to carry your trunks,dears.I"ll have Ron do it for you".

At the mention of Ron, Amanda quickly leaned towards Hermione and whispered,"Ron,as in your boyfriend right?"

Hermione quickly turned back and checked if Mrs Weasley was around and then nodded,blushing.

Before Amanda could interrogate further,Hermione quickly went outside to get Crookshanks cage which she had kept outside.

Suddenly two strong arms grabbed Amanda from behind.She gave a loud yelp.

Before she knew it she was turned around by the same hands and given a long kiss on her mouth.

SMACK!

The sound echoed in Ron's ears.Surprised he looked at the girl.To his horror he saw that it was not Hermione but some other girl who remarkably resembled Hermione.

Two shouts of laughter suddenly came behind him.Ron wheeled around to see the source of the laughter and saw Hermione and Harry clutching their stomachs and literally rolling on the ground in laughter.

Ron turned red."It's not funny,you guys!",he said.

Quickly regaining her composture,Hermione came forward and gave Ron a kiss."I'm sorry,Ron. OH!And by the way this is Amanda Granger,my cousin and her boyfriend,Roger Fernando.And this Ron Weasley and the guy rolling on the ground is Harry Potter and yes,THE HARRY POTTER."

Roger came forward and shook hands with Ron obviously trying very hard not to laugh for the sake of his girlfriend.

Amanda awkwardly came forward and mumbled a polite hello.Ron said,"I..I'm really sorry about that.I thought you were Hermione.Sorry!", turning beetroot red.

"It's alright,"said Amanda.

"Come on guys! Let's go o your rooms.And Ron,Molly told you to get the trunks in the rooms,"said Hermione sweely.

Ron simply looked at her grumbling under his breath while Harry stooped down to help him

As Harry and Ron took care of the trunks,Hermione lead the way to the rooms.
