HARRY POTTER AND THE COUSIN'S SECRET

Chapter 1 – Hermione's

"Come on you two you coming to mine?' Hermione's bossy voice ran through Number 4 Privet Drive 'I've seen both your houses now it's your turn to see mine, besides it's nearer to Ron's so we can get to the wedding quicker"

"Alright, alright we'll go" Harry said, his voice seemed normal but up close he looked worried and tired.
Only last night she had woke up gone into the boys room to check on Harry and had found him having another nightmare about Dumbledore's death as he had died only a month ago she could tell that he was worried but that was understandable considering what his destiny foretold.

They packed their trunks and apparated (Harry and Ron could now do this legally both being seventeen) to Hermione's home.

"Well here we are" she said cheerfully, a lady with long brown hair, the same as Hermione's just straighter came running out to greet them she hugged her daughter and told her that her cousin was here Harry and Ron gave her a questioning look.
"My cousin Katie is here you'll like her she loves everything to do with the wizerding world" Hermione exclaimed

They ran into the house to see a girl who looked about the age of 14 ran down the stairs.

"Hermione" she squealed running up to her and hugging her.

"Katie I'd like you to meet my friends from school Harry Potter and Ron Weasly

"Hi" they both said Katie stepped back from Hermione and looked at Harry, Harry of course was use to this but she was doing something that most people didn't do instead of doing a familiar flick up to his scar she stared into his eyes as Hermione said "She's 12 and was so disappointed when she didn't get her Hogwarts letter"

"12 I though you were 14!" said Ron, surprised she smiled turned around and ran up stairs.

"She sleeps round mine for one week during the summer, every summer; I forgot it was this week" said Hermione "Anyway the weddings in a couple of days we could stay here till then".

"Ok" said Ron.

"Come on I'll show you your rooms" Hermione suddenly said and the three of them trooped upstairs they went to where Katie was laying on a bed reading.

"Harry, Ron you don't mind sharing, do you?" Hermione said anxiously.

"Your rooms just here" she said pointing to a biggish room with two beds, next to the room Katie was in.

"I'll be in here with Katie" she said again

"Course not, we'll unpack" said Harry walking into the room with Ron following him, he put his trunk onto the bed, and Hermione went downstairs.

"That Katie is really tall, isn't she?"

"Yer" Harry answered.

"What was she reading, did you see?" Ron asked "Just like her cousin, I bet she reads 24/7, I bet it's some non fiction book on the stuff muggles are interested with, like cars"

"Right" Harry said not really listening "I'll go talk to her, see what she's like"he said again wanting to get away from Ron.

He walked into the room next door, Katie was still reading in exactly the same position, she looked engulfed in the book every so often she would give an excited squeal or she would bit her lip, this book obviously looked entertaining!

"What's that you'll reading, Katie?" walking up to her, at that exact moment she snapped the book shut.

"Oh, nothing" she said, panicking as she slipped it into her suitcase and pulled out a bigger book with the title of 'Math's Key Stage 3 Year 7' she pulled out a blue pencil case and took out a pen.

"What's that?" Harry asked hoping for an answer this time.

"Oh, it's my homework" she said.

He got up and looked round the bed at her book remembering Math's lessons in Muggles primary school he remembered not being too bad at it.

"It looks hard" he said looking at the title to the page 'Multiplying Fractions'.

"It's easy when you haven't had a 7 year gap since you last math's lesson" she said.

"Harry, Katie its dinner" Hermione yelled up the stairs and they both ran downstairs their dinner included chicken and a salad.

"Yum that was delicious, thanks Mr. and Mrs. Granger" Harry said rubbing his stomach "Yer thanks" Ron said happily "I suppose you'll be going in a couple of days" Mr. Granger asked interested "Yes we'll leave tomorrow" Hermione said "Sorry I'll be away for your visit Katie it's just we can't miss Bill and Fleurs wedding, can we" she said again.
"You'll be coming back here after the wedding, right" Mrs. Granger asked hopefully "Sorry mum we've got to do some really important…. err ….. Stuff" Hermione said looking worriedly at Harry; they were going to Bill and Fleurs wedding then on to Godrics Hollow after that on to find the remaining Horcrux "You couldn't tell us what this important 'thing' is could you" Mr. Granger asked hopefully "Urm…" Hermione said looking at Harry who shock his head franticly "sorry, no."
"Oh yer mum, dad please don't write it's just what we're doing needs to be kept secret, if that's OK, I'll write to you if I get the chance" she continued they didn't want owls searching for them especially around Voldermort.
Katie sighed, then, realizing what she had done she looked up to see Harry watching her curiously, she quickly looked down to her bowl of strawberry ice cream.

After dinner Katie took her book down to the dinning room to do her homework when she got there she said angrily. "Oh great I've left my pencil case in my suitcase" As she started to get up Harry said on his way upstairs.
"I'll get it I'm going that way anyway.
"Thanks, it's in my suitcase under my bed" she uttered in relief, feeling rather tired after her dinner.
Once in her room Harry walked across to her bed and reached under-neath her bed to find a pile of books and a blue pencil case as he picked up the pencil case his eye court the cover of the nearest book the one she had been reading earlier that day it's title was 'Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix'.
