~~~Chapter 3~~~

A small knocking noise came to Hermione's door. "Oh, I am going to be late!" Her parents had already left to go on vacation and she had special permission to stay at the Burrow for a week and a half. Then they would take her to Diagon Alley and to the platform for school.

"Hold on, I'm coming." Hermione looked out the peephole and saw a rather familiar looking frightened girl looking back at her. She opened the door. The girl smiled. "Hello? Can I help you?" Hermione stood in the doorway, she wasn't sure about this.

"Well Hermione Granger, don't you remember me?" The girl held up a teddy bear in her hand and Hermione smacked herself in the forehead, of course it was her cousin. "Jenna Wessex, what on earth are you doing here?" She quickly moved to the side to let her through. Jenna had no baggage with her which Hermione thought to be quite odd, she didn't question it though. The teddy bear Jenna was holding seemed almost singed but Hermione thought it was probably just old age. The girls had both received a bear like that when they were little girls. Jenna's parents always gave them the same gifts.

"Well, I have become a witch just like you, though I've never gone to a proper school such as Hogwarts. My parents taught me all that I know. Lemme see, I am here because my parents said if there were ever any trouble or any reason they couldn't be with me then I was to come straight here."

Jenna took a deep breath; Hermione noticed dark circles underneath her eyes, had something possible happened to her aunt and uncle? Jenna continued "Last night we were attacked by the infamous Lord Voldemort. He is back and he killed my parents with Aveda Kadevra curse. He tried to hit me with it too, but for some reason it didn't work." Jenna broke down, Hermione was speechless, and she began to cry too. Now not only were her cousin's parent's dead, but they were killed by you-know-who. Hermione realized that now Jenna was the girl that lived, someone like Harry. Jenna continued with her tragic story.

"I didn't want to leave my parents and I don't think that Voldemort realized it didn't work. I fell to the ground and he ran with his followers saying how they had one. A big black dog scampered up to me. He was holding this bear in his mouth; I took it from him and walked to my parents. I don't know why but I tried every healing spell I knew. I knew they were dead but I couldn't believe it. Why my parents? I passed out soon after, next thing I know some man was carrying me to a bus and told the driver where to go (well that's what the bus driver said) when I woke up we were in front of your house and he told me what he knew. My house, according to the driver, is just ashes now. What do I do Hermione? The rest of the family is muggle-born. You're the only one I have left."

Hermione sat in thought for a moment and then ran upstairs dragging Jenna behind her. Hermione grabbed her extra bags. She then began throwing in socks and underwear. She then surmised that Jenna was the same size as she and she searched through her closet for some extra clothes. She chose an outfit and handed it to Jenna and told her to change. Of course, as Hermione expected it fit perfectly. Hermione then stuffed two bags full of clothes for Jenna and then took her last small bag and filled it with personal things. She took a look around her room confident she had everything. She then dragged Jenna back downstairs bewildered as to what was going on. Hermione collected the bags she'd previously packed including those for school and dragged them all to the fireplace.

"You do know how to use floo powder, right?" Hermione asked. "Okay, I have split what I had in two just throw it into the fireplace and say "The Burrow." I will go first and you follow me. Ok?" Jenna nodded in agreement. Not quite sure of what was going to happen. Hermione went first then a moment later appeared Jenna.

"So Hermione," Mrs. Weasely said pleasantly, "Who is our new guest?"
