The smooth ride towards her destination calmed her. The bright flowers were in blossom and the trees were in bloom all along the single dirt road. The luscious green grass all along the mountains sides was wet from the morning dew. The white picket fences were as white as paper. As Hermione looked out to her right she saw the city, her home. She sighed as she told herself she was on vacation and to just stop worrying about work and all the stress that came along with the package. Hermione smiled to herself. Ginny had invited her to spend the summer with her in her cottage up on the mountain. She had two hours till she'd be at the cottage, or the top of mount Gail. Hermione turned the radio up as she sung along with the words.
-----------
"Hurry up you guys, she'll be here in an hour!" Ginny yelled as Harry, Ron, Gwen,
Nicole and Draco all looked at her with amusement.
She had been at it for the last 3 days. All hyped up about Hermione coming. At first her best friend was declining the offer since there was "work to be done" but Ginny wouldn't have any of that.
"She will be here soon. We still have to clean this kitchen up!"
Everyone looked through the hallway and into the kitchen. It was a pigsty if you could say that.
Everyone stood up and walked towards the kitchen, grumbling and dragging their feet.
Ginny smirked and crossed her arms over her chest.
-----------
Hermione finally pulled into the driveway.
Hermione laughed. This was no cottage it was more like a mansion.
There was a long pebble driveway with gates and a large wooden sign that read "Hanley Ranch" Hanley means Meadow on the Cliff
There were beautiful trees that lined the road. Flowers and shrubs were on the left where, Hermione guessed was, the garden. On the right was a view of the city that Hermione had never seen before. The house was three stories and on the third story there was a large deck that covered ¾ of the third floor.
Hermione had to hand it to Ginny, she was living in paradise and she never told her about it.
Hermione stopped her car by a black Porsche. She stepped out of the car and grabbed her two blue duffle bags and started walking only to flip her hand over her shoulder and lock the car. She smirked as she walked up the stairs leading to the gigantic doorway. Her smooth hand reached forward and rang the bell.
-----------
"She's here!" Hermione, Gwen, and Nicole yelled.
Gwen and Nicole were friends that Hermione and Ginny met after Hogwarts at their designing school. Gwen has long, straight blond hair that shimmered in the sunlight. She had perfect skin that was evenly tan and her eyes were a chocolate brown. Nicole has long brown hair that was in loose waves at the time. Her eyes are blue and her skin is tan and freckle free.
The girls ran to the door screaming and opened it.
"Three large Cheese pizzas for a Miss Weasley". A man in a domino's attire said looking at the slip of paper in front of him.
"FALSE ALARM!" yelled Nicole as her and Gwen walked back to the guys who were all laughing.
Ginny said thank you, paid, and took the pizzas inside the house.
-----------
The door opened and Hermione screamed as she heard Nicole, Ginny and Gwen screaming. They all ran to her and embraced her as if they hadn't seen her in a year.
-----------
Draco walked with Harry and Ron towards the door. He smiled as he saw all the girls laughing and smiling. His smile turned into a gawk when he saw Hermione.
