As Harry walked into the kitchen, he heard Hermione say, "So, he is coming home with me and he won't be returning until next summer, if then." "No, the boy isn't supposed to leave here, and I'm not letting him go anywhere," Petunia said, edging towards the phone. "Too bad that you have absolutely no say in this," at that she reached into the back pocket of her jean shorts. As she extended her arm to hand something to Petunia, Harry's aunt backed away. He couldn't see what it was so he walked to stand beside Hermione. "Oh, come on, it's just a letter. Take it." Hermione stuffed the envelope in her hands. "Okay, you guys, lets go get Harry's stuff." Hermione turned on her heel and walked out of the kitchen. When she got to the bottom of the stairwell, she turned to her two cousins and said, "Why don't you two go open the trunk and start the car?" Shaylie said, "Sure," and beckoned for Natalie to follow her. Hermione started up the stairs and Harry followed her. When they reached the top, Harry walked past her and opened the door to his room. Hermione walked in and looked around. "Harry, you haven't unpacked your trunk yet and it doesn't even look like anybody lives in here except for the unmade bed. What have you been doing these past four days?" "Err..." Harry couldn't tell her that he'd done nothing but sit by his window and stare at the sky, feeling guilty and alone. "I just haven't had time, you know, what with trying to start on homework and all," he finally said as he stared at the floor. Hermione walked over to his trunk, looked inside, and noticed that his books were neatly packed near the bottom. She could tell that they hadn't been touched since he packed them at Hogwarts, but she didn't say anything. She just nodded and said, "Well, is this everything?" Harry responded by throwing in a pair of jeans, and then she closed the lid. Harry got Hedwig's cage and sat it on top of the trunk. "Uh-oh....."Hermione sighed. "Harry, I forgot to tell you that my two cousins don't know that I'm a witch....their parents do, but they decided that I should be the one to tell them. That's why they're staying here this summer." "So, what are we going to do about Hedwig?" Harry asked. "It's not exactly normal to have a big white owl for a pet." "Umm... well, I guess we can take her with us and just tell them that...uh...ahh, we'll just tell them that you love birds." Hermione decided. "Is that ok with you?" "Yeah, sure," Harry replied. Then a thought hit him. "Err...Hermione... um...why am I going to your house?" "Oh, Harry, I'm so sorry. I completely forgot to tell you. See, I sent Dumbledore a letter asking him if you could stay at my house for the summer before I called you, because I hate you being here. He said that we could stay at my house for two weeks, but then we had to go to the Burrow or Grimmauld Place... he hadn't decided yet. So, that's why you are coming. You don't mind, do you? If you want to stay here or go straight to Ron's you can." Hermione looked quite sad at this last sentence. "No, of course I want to go to your house, Hermione! I think it will be fun" Harry said as he grabbed her into a one-armed hug. Hermione smiled and hugged him back. "Well, I think we need to be going now, Shaylie's parents don't like her driving after dark, especially in a place she doesn't know very well, and if we don't get going now, it will be after dark by the time we get to my house." Harry nodded and handed her Hedwig's cage. He grabbed one end of his trunk and said, "Off we go!" Hermione giggled and set off for the stairs. When she started to walk down them, Harry said, "Hey, hold on." He caught up with Hermione and positioned the trunk at the edge of the stairs, "I have always wanted to do this!" And with that, Harry pushed the trunk and it slid down the stairs, landing at the bottom as it turned over on its side with a loud thump sounding in the air. Hermione said, "Harry!!!!" and laughed as they both ran down the stairs. As they got to the door, Harry said, "You go ahead, I'll be right out." Hermione nodded and carried Hedwig's cage out to the car. Harry walked into the kitchen where his aunt was mopping the floor. "Um...I'm leaving now." His aunt just looked up at him. "Okay then...bye." As Harry was grabbing his trunk, he could have sworn he heard his aunt mutter something that sounded suspiciously like, "Be careful." Harry walked out to the car and was trying to convince himself that he would have a great time and not dampen Hermione's good mood that she seemed to be having. Harry looked up and he saw Hermione leaning up against a silver Toyota Camry. Man, look at her! She looks good in that red spaghetti strap t-shirt and those shorts. It looks really good with her beautiful brown eyes. AHHHH what am I thinking? This is HERMOINE !! What's wrong with me ? Harry sighed to himself and as he saw Hermione bend over slightly to move something around in the trunk he mumbled, "HAVE MERCY!"
