CHAPTER TWO: Hermione's house

It had been two days since Harry sent the letter to Hermione and to Flourish and Blotts. Harry had already got the book 'How two become an Animagi' a couple hours ago. He had just finished the first chapter, which was an interdiction to animagi and what can go wrong when you try it.
Harry was starting on the second chapter when he heard a soft tap on the window. It was Hedwig, and she had the reply from Hermione. Harry quickly and silently went to the window and unlatched it. Hedwig flew in and landed on his desk. He then untied the letter and read.

Harry I do not know for certain if it is true. But I think it would be best if you came over and we studied together. I asked my parents if you could come and they said yes but they are leaving in a week to go to France for a seminar. If you can, come as soon as possible. And take the Knight Bus. Love always,
Hermione

Harry reread the letter and then began to pack. He didn't really care if the Dursleys let him go or not, he was going. An hour later, Harry was packed and ready to go.
He walked down the stairs dragging his trunk slowly. He left his trunk at the door and then walked into the kitchen. "Uncle Vernon, I am leaving to a friends, and I don't think that I am ever coming back."
He looked at his aunt who was staring at his uncle, "Give it to him Vernon."
Harry looked over to his uncle and saw him pulling something out of his pocket, "Here is five hundred dollars, when you get out of school in two years get your self a cheap apartment." He said giving Harry a scowl like it was hurting him to give the money away.
"Thank you," Harry said leaving before his uncle changed his mind. Once he was at the curb with his trunk he stuck up his wand, and then waited for the loud bang. And sure enough it came 'BANG' .
The door opened and Harry walked in to see that there was a new conductor and assistant. Harry told them 'The Granger Residence', and walked to a seat in the back and opened up the animagi book. He just got done with the third page of the second chapter when the conductor yelled "GRANGER RESIDANCE!"
Harry put the book back in the trunk and got out. When he looked up he saw a two story brick house with a very nice garden in the front that made his aunts look like a patch of weeds.
Harry knocked on the door and a girl that looked exactly like Hermione did in their first year at Hogwarts answered the door. "You must be Harry, Hermione is in her room. I'll take you up there."
She led him up the stairs and down a couple of halls, until she finally said "Hermione's room is right there," she said pointing to a door at the end of a hallway. "Your room is right across the hall from hers, oh and I am Tiffany." She ended walking into the room to her right.
Harry slowly knocked on her door. "Come in its open," Hermione's voice called from inside.
Harry pushed the door open and slowly walked in. Hermione's back was turned looking at something. "Hey Hermione," Harry greeted
"Harry! It's so good to see you," she said jumping up and giving him a hug. "You got here fast."
"Yeah, well the sooner the better," Harry stated "You never told me you had a sister."
"Oh yeah, she is eleven. I hope she gets a letter to Hogwarts."
"Yeah it would be cool for another Granger to be at Hogwarts." Harry laughed "So what do you think about the veil thing?" Harry asked
"Lets not talk about all that depressing stuff, lets have some fun. Do you have any shorts?" she asked him.
"Ahhh, yeah why?" Harry wondered
"Meet me back in the hall in three minuets were going swimming.
Harry did as he was told and got dress and met her in the hall. She came out with a robe on and two towels in her hand. They walked out back and set their stuff on the out side of the pool. When Hermione took off her robe Harry was stunned. She was wearing a red two piece bikini; she had grown a lot in all the right places. "Hermione you're beautiful," Harry accidentally blurted out.
"Thanks!" Hermione blushed.
When Harry took off his shirt he had the same effect on Hermione. She was staring at his abs and his chest. Hermione was glad that he spent all those hours at Quidditch, it really helped his muscles out.
Harry feeling Hermione's eyes on him blushed and jumped in the pool. Hermione quickly did the same. They played some in pool basketball and tag until they finally decided to play Marco Polo. Harry was it first, and was walking all over the pool shouting "MARCO!" but Hermione wouldn't say anything. So Harry started to peek. She was hiding in the corner trying not to breathe.
Harry started to make his way over there, trying not to walk straight towards her. He then cornered her and put his arms on the wall trapping her in. He then opened his eyes to find Hermione staring straight into his.
They sat there staring into each others eyes for what seemed like hours, when the started to come closer. They were an inch apart when Harry said "Hermione, I love you. And I always have, since I first met you on the train."
They grew even closer till their lips met for their first kiss.
