Could Love Be In His Eyes?
Chapter three: Disaster?
"Come on, Harry. I've got to get my sister from her friends house, you can come with me too if you want." Hermione said.
"Ok. Lets go! See ya, wouldn't want to be ya, Dudley!" Harry shouted, then he and Hermione broke into a run.
"Oh, my God! I can't believe you had the guts to say that to your own cousin!" Hermione gasped once they were out of Dudley's sight.
"You'll be surprised by what you see this year, 'Mione" Harry laughed.
"Oh will I?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah, now come on. We're meant to be getting your sister aren't we?" Harry reminded her.
"Yeah, lets go." Hermione replied.

When they reached Tia's home, Hermione and Harry were greeted by Kyle, Tia's older brother.
"Hey, Herm!" Kyle called, pulling Hermione into a hug.
"Hello Kyle, Where's my idiotic sister?" Hermione asked unenthusiastically (word?).
"Round the back with Tia." Kyle answered, then, not noticing Harry, he grabbed Hermione's hand and started to lead her into the back. But to Harry's relief, Hermione said, "Kyle, I've been here God knows how many times, I think I know where the back garden is."
"Ok. See ya." Kyle said and kissed her on the cheek.
"Ugggh! He can't seem to get it into his thick, overgrown head that I, Hermione Elizabeth Annabell Granger, does not love him!" Hermione shouted in a low whisper so only Harry could hear.
Harry laughed.
"HERMIONE!!" a girl's voice cried.
Harry and Hermione turned quickly to see who had screamed.
"Oh no! Rose what's the matter?" Hermione gasped running towards her crying sister.
There was an open wound on Rose's leg and it was bleeding freely.
"A tall man in a black cloth over him and he said lots of weird words and did that to me!" Rose sobbed.
"Uh oh!" Hermione whispered.
"What's wrong, 'Mione?" Harry asked as he knelt beside Hermione and Rose.
"Voldemort's decided to strike early. And knowing Rose is my little sister, he attacked her." Hermione explained dully.
"Who Voldemort?" Rose asked tearfully.
The most horrible person you could ever meet." Harry said.
"Have you seen him?" she asked again.
"Five times. Six times running if I have to defeat him again." Harry answered.
"Oh." Rose said. "How did you see him five times?"
"Well, in mine and your sister's first year at Hogwarts, he'd attached himself to the back of our Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher's head. In our second year he chose to act through someone else and lured our best friend's little sister into the Chamber of Secrets. Third year he sent the Dementors and Death Eaters after us. And I'm too tired to explain the rest." Harry said laughing.
"You lazy little-" Hermione started, then, she muttered in Rose's ear, "Ferret!"
Rose and Hermione burst into giggles.
