Disclaimer-I do not own Harry Potter
The next day Harry woke up to a welcoming smell of breakfast. He yawned as he got up. He took a shower in the adjoining bathroom. He changed into a t- shirt and shorts. He went downstairs to find Mr. granger reading the newspaper with a cup of Java.(Paul!) Hermione and Mrs. Granger were cooking breakfast. When he entered everything was stopped and all minds were focused on him.
" AHH, Here is the young man of the house!" Mr. Granger said rather proudly making Harry blush. "Had a nice sleep now? AH that was nothing, back in my day we slept in till noon well of course we didn't sleep till 3 in the morning and such....." Mr. Granger went on about his childhood and in fact to Harry's surprise it really interested the whole group. They discussed today's plans and it seemed that Harry and Hermione would be all alone because Mr. and Mrs. Granger had this Dentistry board meeting and would be gone on a business trip for 2 days.
" Harry if you weren't here, we wouldn't be going!" Mr. Granger laughed making both Harry and Hermione blush and laugh valiantly.
Hermione's parents left sooner than Harry would expect. He couldn't believe that they trusted him so fast but it was nice to have someone's trust and he would make sure he did nothing to betray that trust.
Hermione said nothing to Harry as her parents left. She was still a bit embarrassed about her father's remark.
Harry and Hermione walked back to house quiet.
Hermione was first to break the silence. "Harry what would you like to do? Go swimming, play tennis, watch a movie, roller blade, or meet some friends of mine?" Hermione asked.
" All of the above!" Harry said.
Hermione laughed and smiled all the way up to the house in which she got her tennis racket and let Harry borrow her dad's.
They headed outside into the bright sunshine once more. They just rallied for a couple of minutes and then they started to really play.
Hermione was outnumbered by Harry's great serves. He never knew he could play tennis so well.
" Harry I am puffed, let's call it game, you win!" Hermione said exhausted from running from one end of the court to another. " you'd think was asked to do 100 suicides!" Hermione said exhausted.
Harry laughed at Hermione's exasperated expression in turn she glared at him and soon found out that laughing was contagious. She was sprawled on the ground when Harry playfully tackled her and she couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably.
Harry helped her up but she stumbled back into the grass still laughing and staring up at the sky.
" You're losing it!" Harry said bemused at her reactions sarcastically.
" you should talk!" Hermione said and her heel pulled up against his which jerked him off his feet and land right beside her on his back.
" Ow", Harry said pretending to be hurt.
" Well what do you want to do no?" Hermione asked getting up.
" Did you say you have a swimming pool?" Harry asked cocking an eyebrow.
" Yes we have one", Hermione answered," Do you want to swim for a while?"
" That's exactly what I want to do, cool myself down all right!" he snorted.
They trekked back into house and went up the flight of stairs and into their separate rooms.
Hermione was changing when there was a light knock on the door. Hermione quickly said," Be there in a minute Harry!" She quickly wrapped a towel around her waist. She opened the door none other to reveal Harry still in his sweaty clothes.
" Harry why haven't you changed?" hermione said looking him up and down.
" That's the problem, I don't have any swim trunks", Harry said disdainfully.
" Harry I have an idea, you can come with to go shopping!" Hermione squealed.
" There is a shop that sells swim stuff only 2 blocks away, we can go there- err by the way, do you have muggle money?"
"Yeah, the Dursleys gave me some for help teaching Dudley to drive!" Harry said rolling his eyes.
Hermione just laughed.
Hermione quickly changed back into some muggle clothes and Harry waited for her in the living room.
Hermione came down in a fitting turtle-neck and boot-cut jeans. Harry was wearing a different Shirt and it was collared.
Hermione walked down the stairs and Harry spotted her.
"Let's go Harry!" Hermione said and out the door they went. Hermione took her key and locked the door.
They walked in the bright sunshine talking about school and OWLs.
" There very important Harry!" Hermione said.
Harry laughed and put on a serious face and said, " I am gonna study 10 weeks before OWLs".
Hermione didn't catch his sarcasm said," Good then you can study with me!" Hermione said happily," That will be fun!"
" Oh yes! I would be delighted!" Harry muttered as he rolled his eyes in a mocking and sarcastic gesture.
Hermione playfully swatted him with an icy glare which made him apologize and they walked to the store in silence.
The shop was a colorful one with all types of swim gear.
Harry looked around and saw his section and began to search for some decent trunks.
Hermione helped him a bit.
He soon bought a pair of Green trunks. He paid for them and soon Harry and Hermione were back on the streets of London. Passing muggles could be seen everywhere enjoying the sunshine.
Harry spotted a woman selling sandwiches and grabbed Hermione's hand and started to run to her stand.
" Harry where are we going?" Hermione asked sort of surprised by the sudden running.
" There, I am hungry and you must be too! So let gets some sandwiches and we can eat them on the way back to your house", Harry said.
" Sure why not", Hermione said.
Harry and Hermione slowed their pace and walked over to the stand.
" Hello dears what would you like?"
" Hermione what would you like", Harry said turning to Hermione.
" HMMMM ah this turkey sandwich with bologna and salami looks good- I'll take that", Hermione said raising her head from the menu of the stand.
" All right, what about you young man", the woman said.
" I'll have the same", Harry said not looking at the menu.
When they were waiting for the order to come Harry whispered," I'll take your word for it that it is good, If it's not then you will have one angry boy! Kidding Hermione!" Harry added quickly seeing the look of surprise on her face.
When Harry turned around to see if the order was finished he bumped into a girl that looked his age with long raven hair and deep blue eyes. She looked up at him with a satisfied smile.
Harry said," Sorry". He looked up and saw she was gazing intently at him.
"What?" Harry asked confused.
" How do you know her?" the girl said icily while jerking her head towards Hermione.
" We're friends!" Harry said getting annoyed that a girl was asking how he knew Hermione.
" Oh really! We'll just see!" the girl said haughtily and walked towards Hermione who noticed Harry talking to a strange girl who looked vaguely familiar but Hermione couldn't place a finger on it.
" Hello Hermione Granger", said the girl flipping her hair back in a competitive way showing all her straight teeth.
Hermione thought, ' 2 can play at this game!'
" Hello stranger", Hermione said rather hotly showing all her perfectly sized teeth that were shining white.
Her component screeched," What happened to your buck teeth. Your teeth weren't straight! You must of got braces!"
Hermione flipped her hair back and smiled at Harry who was laughing silently.
" They are natural", Hermione said in a brainy voice.
Harry let out a snort which caused the girl or stranger to turn around.
" How do you know him then?" the girl asked suspiciously.
Hermione walked over to him and placed an arm on his shoulder and looked at him in his eyes and said, " We're best of friends", and Hermione spoke without taking her eyes off him.
Harry looked at Hermione then looked at the girl who was icily staring at them. Harry was confused who was this girl? Why did she care about him? How did she know Hermione? Why she was pestering them?
These thoughts whizzed through his mind and then something clicked! He grabbed Hermione's hand and led her to the stand where the lady smiled kindly at them as they paid for their sandwiches.
He walked over to a bench and sat down gesturing for Hermione to come sit down also.
She came and sat down besides him.
Harry had a theory which was sort of wild but it was logical, in a way.
He looked behind and saw the girl was still there. When he turned forward again he saw Hermione had left his side and was hugging another girl who had red hair and was rather slim and tall.
" Rosa! I missed you so much!" Hermione said hugging her female friend.
" I missed you too, Hermione", Rosa said and then noticed Harry and gave a questioning glance at Hermione.
" Oh! Harry this is Rosa Dewton, one of my best friends! Rosa this is Harry Potter another one of my best friends."
" Pleased to meet you Harry", Rosa said shaking his hand in a friendly gesture. She turned to Hermione," Hermione I have a party at 3:00! Would you both like to come? Its a dance and loads of other things.", Rosa said with excitement in her eyes.
When Harry heard the word dance his eyes showed a fretting that was going inside his mind.
Yet Hermione eyes met his and she figured out what was going in his witty mind of his and gave him a reassuring smile while saying," Sure Rosa! Wouldn't miss it for the world!"
They hugged for one last time and Rosa walked down the street continually waving.
Harry and Hermione both decided they would finish their sandwiches now and get ready for the party as it was only one hour and 30 minutes away.
Harry didn't see why girls needed so much time.
The next day Harry woke up to a welcoming smell of breakfast. He yawned as he got up. He took a shower in the adjoining bathroom. He changed into a t- shirt and shorts.
