Why Didn't I See It?
Chapter 6~ Who is That Girl in the Driveway
They both ran inside before her mother called again. Just as they ran into the living room a middle aged man about 6'5" wearing glasses, and a tired look under his mustache, walked down the stairs. When he saw Harry he just starred.
"Who are you?" he asked with a hint of worry in his voice for the only boy he'd ever seen his daughter alone with was the boy next door and that Viktor Krum person.
"I'm Harry sir," Harry said. He had a distinct feeling that this man did not want any boy around his daughter while he wasn't there. "Harry Potter. Herm."
Daddy it's fine," Hermione interrupted "He's the friend I told you was coming for the rest of the summer, remember? You and mom were in the hot tube at like three in the morning and I came out and asked if a friend could stay at our house for the rest of the summer while you were gone, and you said that it was fine." She finished breathless.
"Yes but," Mr. Granger argued "Yes but I thought you meant a girl friend, not your boyfriend!"
"Harry is not my boyfriend." She said but she secretly hoped that that would change before the end of the summer.
"But he's a boy!" said Mr. Granger not at all reassured.
"Of course he's a boy, daddy, did I forget to mention that, and I know what your thinking so don't even say it!" Hermione said sweetly to her parents (by this time her mom had joined the commotion after taking her suitcase to the car, bringing another on down and calling the neighbors who would be taking care of Hermione's little brother Travis while they were gone.
"Daddy you don't have to worry, Harry has a car so we can get around and I have my cell." She said as her mother started to whisper to her dad. Her father started to act like someone who had just lost the battle for his daughter, which he had.
"Fine, but I'm warning you Hermione. " he paused "And Harry, take care of my baby girl for me."
Harry thought that this was extremely weird but he was glad they were leaving, Mr. Granger made him feel like he was a convicted heart breaker. Which in fact was not true because he had never had a girlfriend in his life. Although in their previous year at Hogwarts Harry had had a lot of girls paying more attention to he than even Cedric, and when he had been working in the front yard at the Dursleys, a car of teenage girls kept driving by and honking their horns at him (he wasn't wearing a shirt). But he had never even really liked a girl before Cho but know after a big fight with is alter ego he realized that he had like Hermione ever since that first day on the train when she had popped into their compartment looking for Nevill's toad.
Harry was quickly brought back to reality when Hermione whispered in his ear "Harry you can relax now they went to get the rest of their stuff five minutes ago!"
"Oh what? Harry said blankly "I'm sorry about my dad it's just that he has never seen me with anyone but Viktor," Harry cringed he hated that name, how could anyone be so cruel as to make that beautiful face cry. "And Anders Dickson who lives down the road." She continued.
"That's ok I don't blame him, I wouldn't want just any punk dating my daughter," he said, even though he wanted to add 'especially one as beautiful as you' but right then Mr. and Mrs. Granger came back with their trunks. "Could you help me with this Harry, dear, it's quite heavy?" asked Mrs. Granger.
"Sure Mrs. Granger." He replied "Hermione, won't you come and say good~bye to us, we have something to tell you before we go." Said Hermione's father with a very serious look on his face.
"Ok dad, what is it?" she asked cautiously.
"Go out front with your mother." He said
"What going on?" Hermione asked as she walked out the door a girl about her age, with long brown wavy hair, and bright green eyes. She was about 5'3" and was giving her mother, (Hermione's mother) a kiss on the cheek and saying, "Good~Bye mum, have a nice trip!"
