Hermione had awoken from her nap, by yelling from downstairs. Her parents where fighting again. This was like the third time that day. Most of the time when her parents got into a fight they would make up a few minutes later……very loudly that is. Hermione grabbed her wand off her nightstand, pocketed it, and walked over to her window. Before she left she turned around and her mp3 player off of her dresser next to the window, then left without a word.
Slowly and very quietly she opened the window and climbed out. There was a tree next to the house that Hermione could climb down. She jumped onto the nearest branch and climbed down the tree to the ground. With a soft thump Hermione landed on the ground. She walked away from the house only looking back because she heard footsteps behind her.
It was only a boy running down the street. Hermione expected that it was a nightly thing for the guy because he didn't seam to be slowing down. As the guy came at length with Hermione he stopped and gave her a smile.
"Hey," he said smiling. Hermione noticed that he had an American accent.
"Hey, do you know what time it is," Hermione asked. She hadn't realized until that moment that she didn't know what time it was, that and she was just making small talk with the guy.
"Yeah, it's 5:00, what's your name," He asked still smiling.
"Hermione, and yours," Hermione said flirting a little bit with the guy.
"Jesse, so why where you sneaking out of your house, I saw you jump down from the tree," Jesse said. He had blond hair, and green eyes. He had that kind of face that most girls only dreamed a guy would have.
"My parents where fighting and I didn't want to listen to it," Hermione said.
"So where are you going," Jesse asked. Hermione started to her headphones to her mp3 player on, but then took off one headphone and offered it to Jesse.
"Anywhere but back there," Hermione said when he accepted the headphone. Hermione turned on the mp3 player and changed it to the radio. The station was playing her favorite song Obsession by Frankie J.
"Do you know this song," Hermione asked Jesse.
"Yeah, it's one of my favorites," He said.
"What's your last name," Hermione asked.
"Muller, what's yours," Jesse asked. He stopped walking to tie his shoe lace and Hermione stopped to wait on him.
"Granger, are you new in the neighborhood, I've never seen you around here before," Hermione asked, and it was the truth she had never seen him before tonight.
"Yeah, my dad is in the army and just got transferred here," Jesse said standing back up.
"Where did you move from," Hermione asked.
"Biloxi, Mississippi," He said. "Where do you go to school at," Jesse asked. Hermione had to think on her toes, she didn't think anyone would ever ask her what school she went to. And she didn't think it would be a good idea to tell a stranger that she was a witch, no matter how hot he was.
"I go to a private school, Hogwarts," Hermione said.
"Really, my sister is going to go there," Jesse said with a surprised look on his face. "So, that means that you're a witch like she is," He said.
"Yep, wait, your not a wizard," Hermione asked even though she wasn't surprised to hear that his sister was a witch and he wasn't, Harry's mom and his aunt where the same way.
"Nope, I wish I was, instead I'm part white lighter and part witch," Jesse said getting up off the ground.
"Part what," Hermione said. She had no idea what a white lighter was.
"White lighter, my dad is one, it's like a guardian angel," Jesse said trying to explain to Hermione what he was.
"And your sister isn't part white lighter," Hermione said.
"Nope, we have different dad's her dad was a human," Jesse said.
"So, why didn't you get assigned to a wizarding school," Hermione asked. After all he was part wizard.
"I guess that the people didn't think it would be right for a part white lighter to go to an all wizarding school," Jesse said.
"What can white lighters do," Hermione asked.
"Hold on let me show you," Jesse said, He stood still and all of a sudden white lights came around him and he disappeared. Jesse reappeared behind Hermione.
"Cool, I get to learn how to do something like that when I turn sixteen," Hermione said.
"Why when you turn sixteen," Jesse asked.
"Because when you're a witch you have to be a certain age to do magic outside of school," Hermione explained to him.
"So that's why Cristen doesn't do magic at home, no wonder why she gets so mad when I orb into her room," Jesse said laughing.
"It's probably not that she can't do magic outside of school it's probably that you scare her most of the time when you orb into her room," Hermione pointed out.
"Oh," Jesse said. God he is so cute, even if he is kind of stupid Hermione thought.
"What," Jesse asked. Hermione hadn't noticed that she had been staring at him in a weird way.
"Nothing, you just remind me so much of one of my best friends, Ron," Hermione said making up an excuse for staring at Jesse.
"Well you remind me of one of my ex-girlfriends, Delaney," Jesse said poking Hermione in the shoulder.
"You did not just poke me," Hermione said poking Jesse in the stomach.
"Yeah, I just did," Jesse said walking closer to Hermione, making them only a couple of inches apart. Hermione took a couple of steps back, and Jesse walked forward even more.
"What are you doing," Hermione asked.
"Nothing," Jesse said smiling.
"Then would you stop getting inches away from me," Hermione said still stepping backwards and then tripped over a rock in the way. Jesse was fast though and caught Hermione in mid fall, with his wrapped around her waist making them even closer then they where before.
"Thanks, now can you let me go," Hermione said.
"Well how nice are you," Jesse said straitening up and letting go of Hermione.
"I can be nice, I just don't want to be right now," Hermione said.
Jesse looked at his watch, "SHIT, I was supposed to be home a couple of minutes ago," Jesse said.
"Oh, sorry, did I keep you out too long," Hermione asked.
"A little, do you want me to orb you into your room back home," Jesse asked.
"Sure," Hermione said. Jesse took Hermione's hand and in a split second Hermione felt her feet leave the ground, and a bunch of lights flashed in front of her eyes. The next second they appeared in Hermione's room.
"Nice looking cat," Jesse said noticing crookshanks on Hermione's bed.
"Thanks," Hermione said.
"So, will I see you tomorrow," Jesse asked.
"Sure, now get home before you get into trouble," Hermione said. And with that Jesse was gone.
