Hermione P.O.V

We arrived at our new home (which Harry had generously paid for) around an hour later. We paid the driver and retrieved our luggage as the driver sped off at a speed which would make you think the devil was chasing him. Hmpf.

I looked up at the house and sighed. Saying it was beautiful would be an understatement, it was…magnificent. Two story mansion is what it is. With white brick and a black roof it stood out against the trees of the woods which surrounded the fence guarding the house. We walked inside to check it out as Harry handed us each a set of keys for the house. Downstairs there was a GINORMOUS kitchen with black granite bench tops which Ginny loved, there is also two spacious lounge rooms, one for sitting and chatting (etc) and the other was for cinema use with a large screen built onto the wall and twelve leather recliners which were once again built in. Down the hall was most likely a second bathroom with just a toilet and sink. There was also a long dining room and laundry. (Duh!)

The backyard was big but not enough so to make someone dread having to mowe the lawns. There was a little deck set up out the back too, that was lined with just about every type of flower you could thing of. The deck had an eight seater round table with its own roof for shade. Whoever built this house had certainly thought of everything so far.

We went up stairs to find six bedrooms, each one large enough to be a master bedroom with an inbuilt wardrobes and ensuites! This place was amazing!

"Harry, how did you manage to find a place like this? It's absolutely perfect!" I praised him, grinning the whole time

"Just a bit of looking into Hermione" he smiled at me "I'm glad you all like it-"

"Like it? This place is FUCKING AWESOME! We love it!" Ron cut in, Harry laughed

"That's great; I'm so glad you're all pleased. Now since there's literally nothing in the house to eat how about we go out for dinner then pick up some groceries and cleaning products, stuff like that on the way back? Sound good?"

"Sounds like a plan" Ginny said from where she was currently snuggling into Harry's side.

About ten minutes later we walked into a cute little dinner called Emily's and were about to request a table for four when we heard, "Hermione!" we all turned to see Sue, Seth and Leah walk through the door. "Are you staying for dinner?" Sue questioned me

"Yes, we are" I indicated to my friends, "This is Harry, Ginny and Ron; guys this is Sue and her children Seth and Leah" I smiled as they exchanged hello'

"Who you calling children?" Seth questioned mischievously, laughing

"That's enough out of you" Sue scolded him, "Would you care to join us for dinner?" she asked us. I looked at Harry, Ginny and Ron who were all nodding along so I just smiled

"Sure, that would be lovely", we got a table together, me somehow ending up next to Leah who had finally stopped starring as we looked over the menu. A few moments later a waiter came over and took our order which left us with the usual questions, all coming from Sue. Why did you move? How old are we? Why did we choose La Push?...etc. By the time our food arrived Leah had apparently worked up some courage to speak

"What do you do for a living? Or are you a student?" she asked me

"Well, Ron is going to work as a teacher at the primary school, Harry will teach self defence at the centre, Ginny is going to be working at the Day-care up the road and I'm opening up a book store in town" I replied

"So you like reading then?" she questioned, ignoring the others jobs

"Yeah, I believe American's would call me a book worm?" I said slightly unsure.

"Yes we would", Leah said giving me a dazzling smile. No. Stop. I don't even know if she's gay and she hasn't given any clear indication either way, I can't let myself be attracted to her besides this is the first time she's actually said anything!

"Well I want to get a really good variety of books because it bugs me how with a lot of bookstores had mostly fiction or non-fiction I want a good variety", I paused looking at Leah, "I want to have fiction stories, for children as well as novels for adults, books on faiths and religion such as Wicca, healing and spirits, how too books, biography's, just about every category you can think of, I want to stock." I smiled proudly, "I've already even set up with my supplier at a pretty reasonable price and the first shipment should be in on Tuesday."

"Don't be biased Mione, what she coincidently left out if that she's already written a series on magical heritage, so she knows what to look for in a good author" Ron grinned cheekily, "now if she would just get her personal life in order-" I cut Ron off by hitting him in the back of the head

"Shut up! It's not that successful really-" but then I was cut off by Harry

"Yes it is Hermione! You need to learn how to boast!"

"And you don't?" I replied snarkily; only Ron and Ginny catching my subtle jab, "can we just drop it please?"

"Fine, well I for one cant wait to get started at the day care centre, working with all the kids, it'll be absolutely perfectly normal." Ginny smiled, with only me Harry and Ron hearing the double meaning to her words

"I'm with you on that one" Ron began, mouth still half full, "imma be the coolest teacher at that primary school"

"And deffinently the dorkiest!" I grinned at him, he was so cute when he tried to be cool

"You know what I mean, I'm going to be fun and stuff, play around instead of doing work, Mr. Cool they'll call me. Am I making sense?" he asked me

"No, but I love watching you try" I smiled sweetly as the whole table erupted in laughter, I looked over at Leah. She was stunning when she just laughed naturally, unaware of her audience.

"Sorry to cut this short but we probably should be going guys, the stores shut in about an hour." Harry said once the laughter had died down, he looked at Sue, "We'll see you tomorrow evening at the bonfire, where is it exactly though?", as Harry and Sue exchanged details I turned to Leah who was once again openly starring at me.

"Are you okay? You keep starring…" I trailed off

"Oh!" she looked surprised at being caught out, "Yeah sorry! I just pick a spot and gaze out, I didn't mean to creep you out or anything" Leah suddenly looked worried. Though I didn't believe this excuse I accepted it

"Hahaha its ok, don't worry about it. I'll see you tomorrow night at the bonfire?"

"I'll be there" Leah grinned as if my plan to see her there had just made her day…this girl is weird, hot, definently hot, kind but….weird.

Ok, so what does everyone think of the first two chapters? I know its slow going with Leah but I'm going to make her a little less awkward in the next chapter but…What will everyone say when they find out Leah's a lesbian? Will it be all rainbows and smiles?
