Ron woke with a start...that dream...it felt so, real. He could still fell the girl's arms around his neck...and hear her soft voice in his ear...Ron shook his head, it was just a dream after all, Now I know how Harry feels... {Later that day...} "Oy! Harry, you nutter, what are ya' thinkin'?" Ron grabbed the back of Harry's shirt before he walked into the street, just as a Muggle car went speeding past. Hermione giggled. she thought to herself. Hermione Granger lifted her sunglasses to take a better look at her friend. He was grinning sheepishly as Ron pounded him on the back. His dark hair was as disorderly as ever, and his eyes were dancing with fun. He looked adorable in his Muggle clothes. He could almost pass for a normal teen in his baggy jeans and skater tee.
Ron, on the other hand, looked painfully uncomfortable in surfer trunks and a button up shirt. He kept pulling at his shorts as they slid down to reveal plaid boxers.
The trio was on their way to Hermione's aunt's house to pick up her cousin. The three had rented an apartment for the summer, and Hermione's cousin was going to come live with them. "Ok guys, now no magic in front of Beth, she's American...and kind of...er...eccentric? But she's cool, but my aunt thinks-" "That you're a nice, Muggle girl going to a private school in Sweden." Harry and Ron finished for her. They laughed, "Alright, alright...just...behave, please??"
Ron folded his hands and nodded innocently. "Mione, do you really think that the boy-who-lived and his trusty side-kick are going to cause any trouble?" Ron asked mockingly, his eyes wide. Harry slipped his arm around Hermione, "Don't worry, I'll keep him in line." He said, pointing to Ron. Ron punched him in the arm, and they turned the corner onto an old street with stately houses lining it.
Hermione saw her aunt's house and reluctantly shrugged Harry's arm off of her shoulder, apologizing to him with a sad look. He looked at her sideways, but followed her up the steps to the front door of an old, two- story house. Hermione opened the door and stepped inside, closely followed by Ron and Harry.
There were suitcases piled up by the stairs, near the entrance hallway. Hermione yelled, "Beth? Aunt Piper!! Uncle Leo? It's Hermione..." A guy stuck his head around the corner at the end of the hall. "Kye!!" Hermione yelled, recognizing her cousin. He came out and hugged her. Harry glared at him without realizing it, until Ron elbowed him in the ribs. "Guys, this is my cousin Kye. He's Beth's brother." Kye stuck out his hand, Harry and Ron shook it, and introduced themselves. Kye eyed Harry, and his eyes flitted up to Harry's forehead. But then he smiled and said, "So, are you the boyfriend?"
Hermione blushed and ran into the kitchen squeaking, "Uh...do you guys want something to drink?" Kye glanced around, "Er...no, then?" Ron laughed. Harry grinned, but he couldn't forget how casually Kye had looked at his head, only wizards did that...Shaking his head, he and Ron followed Hermione into the kitchen.
Sitting at the counter was a middle-aged woman, she had a tray of drinks in front of her that Hermione was choosing from . She had long brown hair tied back into a bun and bright eyes like her son's. She smiled at the boys when they came in. "Hi, you must be Harry and Ron. I'm Piper, Hermione's aunt. I'm so sorry you had to meet my son first, we Americans aren't really all like him." She leaned forward and whispered, "He gets it from his father." Harry and Ron laughed. Kye groaned, "Mom!" Hermione smiled, "Speaking of, where is Uncle Leo?" Piper looked around, "I don't know...I think he and Beth went out for sandwiches. Leo!!" She shouted at the ceiling.
Ron heard a light twinkling, and then a stumble and yells, "Beth I told you not to put your stuff here!!" "ooh....Sorry Dad!! Are you ok? Here, I'll clean up the sandwiches." A man walked into the kitchen wincing and rubbing his ankle. Spotting Hermione he smiled, "Hermione! You're here! How are you?" He hugged her, and looked around at Ron and Harry. He was taller than his wife, and had blonde hair and blue eyes. He stepped forward,
"And your friends are..."Hermione answered, "Harry," she pointed, and Leo shook his hand, "and Ron". "Guys, this is my Uncle Leo. Hey, where'd Beth go?" As if to answer her question, "Mom!! I'm going to take a shower before Mione gets here, ok?" Kye grinned, "I guess she doesn't know you're here." Piper and Leo had to leave to see some old friends, so they hugged Hermione and said goodbye to the boys. "Now, take care, and thanks again for letting Beth go with you. We'll come visit sometime."
The two walked out the back, kitchen door and walked down the back steps. Ron didn't hear a car start up, but he thought he heard that odd twinkling again...Hermione noticed it too, "Uh, I guess their walking?" Kye sputtered and coughed as he choked on his sandwich. "Yah..dey are." He swallowed, "I'll go get the rest of Beth's stuff." When they were alone again, Harry and Ron looked around. There was silence in the kitchen, and then there were foot steps on the stairs above them.
Someone pounded through the house, the steps pounded in the hallway and- Beth Halliwell, clad only in a towel sprinted into the kitchen screaming, "PLEASE don't tell me they already left!!----oh..." She noticed Hermione, Ron and Harry.
She smiled, blushed and turned around and ran back up the stairs. Ron's eyes were still frozen on the spot where she had been. Finally, he gulped and broke the shocked silence. "Er, interesting family, Mione."
