Chapter 2: The Arrival
Mrs. Granger spent the next day at home cooking and cleaning trying to make the house comfortable for the new visitor. Mr. Granger had left for the airport two hours ago and his plane arrived an hour ago so they should be here any minute. Hermoine was expecting the worse, she thought he would come in and be a little shit for his stay, however long that was going to be. She had written back to Harry and Ron telling them both the new turn of events.
At that moment, Mr. Granger pulled his Mini Cooper into the drive way and turned off the ignition and looked at the passenger, "Welcome to your new home." He said as cheerfully as he could. The passenger just kept the same expression on his face and just nodded. He got out of the car, looked around, and then walked to the back hatch to get his trunk. He also pulled out a parcel that was covered in brown paper in the shape of a broom. Mr. Granger walked up the steps to the front door and opened it. A sweet smell filled the air as Zach walked up the steps carrying his luggage.
As he walked through the entrance Mrs. Granger walked up to introduce her-self and then Hermoine did the same. He noticed she was a very pretty girl and was about the same age as him, 'this might not be so bad after all' he said in his mind. "Hermoine show Zach to his room and show him around the house while you're at it." Mr. Granger cued in. She gave him a quick nod and sort of turned pink. As they walked up the stairs she pointed things out, "That's the lavatory over there," she paused on the last step "and that's mum and dads room there." Hermoine turned left and walked down the hall. She walked by a closed door on her left and quickly said that's my room and this door right here leads to your room.
Zach stood there for several minutes looking at the house. He heard the creak of a door and turned his face to see Hermoine pointing in his small dark room. "Sorry but this is all we have. It's the warmest room but it has no lights, um we could get you a desk lamp or something if you want. He looked in and noticed the spring bed and small desk in the corner, he liked it. Hermoine waited a few seconds to see if he would say something but when he didn't she tried to fill in for the conversation, "so you play Quiditch?" He just gave a nod. "Seeker?" he said quietly looking at the ceiling.
Hermoine was confused about him, 'he must hate me or something' she thought to herself. He walked in the room despite the low light and pulled out an amber stone and placed it on the desk he rubbed it with his finger and the room lit up. Hermoine had seen the stones before at Diagon Alley but she had never seen one in use. She decided she would leave him alone for now. "Will you need some help unpacking?" she asked a little timidly. "Um, no I'll be ok for now." He said in a very American accent.
As Hermoine was walking down the stairs she saw her mom setting the table for dinner. She got to the bottom and saw her father reading the letter again. "So how did you know the Buckley's?" Hermoine asked looking at the back of the letter. Her father waited and finished it before he responded responded, "We knew them before you where born, Moine," He rubbed his temples and continued, "They where friends of your mother and I at dentistry school." "How come they never wrote before?" she asked. " I don't really know Hermoine. They probably didn't want us to know about their son being magical. Dinner is ready go get Zach." He said as he walked towards the bathroom by the stairs
Slowly Hermoine climbed the stairs towards the hall and when she turned the corner she saw that Zach's door was shut, she knocked on it twice until she decided to open it up. "Zach?" the room was well lit and was full of quiditch posters. A few American bands where hanging up, and on the far wall hung an emblem of a falcon spreading his wings. It was his old school emblem she remembered seeing it on his quiditch uniform. She cleared her throat and saw that Zach was lying on the bed curled up sleeping.
She cleared her throat again and calmly said, " Zach, uh dinner is done." His eyes suddenly opened as she said that and he sat up. "Ok I'll just go wash up." he said as he stood up next to her, he was a whole head taller than her. Hermoine looked up in his eye and saw that his face was emotionless. She looked up for a few more moments and then turned around quickly and started walking out, "Um, right I'll go tell my mother and father." Was the only thing she could manage as she walked out the door. He followed soon after.
Mrs. Granger put a lot of preparation into cooking the meal for the guest. Zach calmly walked into the dining room and sat down in the only empty seat. They all looked at him as if expecting him to give a speech. This went on for a minute until Hermoines father interrupted this finally by giving a quick glance to the food and saying "Dig In." Everyone except Zach ate he just sat their and answered their questions, yes and no where the only two words he seemed to know.
Then Hermoine asked a question that had him open up a bit, "Well, Zach are you going to Hogwarts?" he looked up suddenly for the first time since being at the table an sort of had a smile on his face, he finally took a bite of some bread Mrs. Granger baked earlier and said "Yes I hope, um I don't know if I will have enough money." He kind of gave a small laugh. He ate a little more and asked if he could be excused he said he was tired and went to bed.
Hermoine stayed up for a bout an hour more before she went to bed she was looking through her new book, "Herbology at the Greenest". Her eyes started to hurt, so she turned off her desk lamp and lied down. She was laying their for several moments until they're was a knock at the door. She got up quickly and walked over and opened it and there was Zach in nothing but his boxers carrying her cat. "She was trying to get out of my room." And with that he handed her over to Hermoine said g' night and walked back to his room closing the door behind him. Hermoine just stood their the whole time holding her cat, she was beet red.
Woo that was a long one. Hey I really enjoy your opinions and suggestions. I got majors writers block right now so how about an idea. My ears are open. Thanks for reading I look forward to you writing to me.
