Auhtor's Note: So sorry about the one paragraph thing. This shouldn't be. And if it is, I'm doing an intense research on how to fix it!!!! *Cough.* Anyway, here we go! Hermione chanted the spell and....it worked! She no longer had to go to the bahtroom. She was so excited she didn't notice Hedwig flying around her impatiently. "Sorry Hedwig!" Hermione apologized and grabed at the letter, excited to get progress from Harry. Dear Hermione, How are you? My family really isn't too bad when you get used to them. Afterall, 've survived them. I'm sorry you have to do my work, your parents are going to pick you up in a week. Or next Monday if you get this late. Please hurrey and find that spell. I don't think I'll able to hold it much longer. Your couzin, Jenn, has a crush on me? Just be careful when you come over because it might be uncomfortable to see your couzin flirt with you. Sincerely, Harry Hermione sighed. This wasn't good. She scribbled down her little adventure in the attack and the spell and sent Hedwig off with it. She hoped it wasn't too late. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Harry had gotten sick of Jenn already. He didn't want to go to the mall...again. But he ended up being dragged there anyway after the breakfast Harry had wanted to finish. they were walking to the end of the street when a group of girl's came walking from the opposite direction. Jenn grabbed Harry's arm and wispered, "Let's take a different way." A memry flashed and Harry saw some girls, younger in age, laughing at Hermione who began backing away crying. It ended and Harry found himself face to face with an older version of the girls. "Well, well, well, if it isn't Granger. Have you come back from the boarding school that yuor panrets send you to get rid of you?" The brunette said. I would have said blond but people seem to pick on blonds so I said that. Hmm...I can't just says 'the brunnette.' How about Callie. Yes, Callie is her name. Harry growled. "Yes, I have. And it's much better than a normal public school. This is for people who are actually smarter than in a public school." Harry lied. If only these girls knew... "You little bi-!" She cut cut off by Jenn who grabbed Harry's arm and had began pulling him away. Te girls followed close behind. They began shouting rude comments. "Frizball!" "Show-off!" "You think your better than everyone else...but your not!" "Freak!" "No wonder you don't have a boyfriend." Harry stopped dead in his tracks. He turned around slowly as the girls stared snottily at him. Hermine could get a boyfriend if she wanted one! He walked up to the 'leader's' face.....and punched her right in the nose. "If you ever talk to me like that again you'll be blind!" He stared dangerously at the other girls ad the one who was squealing (gawd, why do people do that when they get hurt?) at his knees. "Go ahead! Say something!" He was surprized to see one girl step forward. "Please, you think you punch one girl and that makes us afraid?" She laughed. "Oooh, scarey. Granger got mad and punched someone!" Funny, Harry thought, it usually works in the movies. Harry turned on his heel and began walking away, but still the girl's followed saying the names. "Bushy head!" Nest head!" "What lives in that hair?" "Show off!' "Over retreiver!" "Did I mention bushy head?" And they went on and on until they finally died off. Jenn put an arm around Harry as to comfort him. "Don't cry, Hermione." "I wasn't going to," Harry said, taking her arm off gnetly. He felt too bad for Hermione to even concentrate on shopping. Well, not like he did anyway, but....you get my point. He thought about the names. Bushy head? He could fix that... "Erm....where's the hair salon, Jenn?" He asked casually. Jenn eyes bugged out and she grinned huge. "What?" Harry asked. "Your going to get your hair done, aren't you?" She squealed. Harry was so annoyed by this squeal, he was about to hurt her. "I know the perfect place! Follow me!" She practicly ripped his arm out of the socket and fled down to a hairdresser's and slammed her into the chair. Before Harry knew it, he was staring at hair styles in a booklet. Hermione is going to kill me... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Hermione was extremely happy that her parents were going to be coming. Now there was only one problem....would she be able to go? Hermione made her way down the ladder and did the work neded. Then collapsed on Harry's bed. Harry has to sleep on this horrible thing every night, Hermioen thought pityingly. She almost pulled Harry's bnags out. they were constantly in the way. She kept thinking about seeing Cedric and Sirius die. It gave her chills every time and made her want to squeeze Harry to death. She walked downstairs where she was to prepare dinner. She wasn't that good of a cook, but she was descent enough. Petunia told her what she would be making (I dunno what they are supposed to eat, so let's just not worry about food.) She set the table nicer than usual and smiled sweetly as they sat down. Vernan had recently gotten home. "Did you poison it or something, boy?" He spat, seeing her smile. Hermione's smile dissapeared. "N-No, sir," Hermione said, forcing the last word out. "B'But I was wondoring if....well, a friend invited me over for the summer. They will pick me up so you won't have to go through the trouble. And- and you won't have to take me to school." Hermione finished, staring satisfied with her explaination. How could they say no? "No." Oh, yeah...like that. Hermione paled and choked out, "Why not?" "Well, who else is going to do the work around here!" petunia snapped and took a dainty bite of her food, opposite of Dudly who acted as a human vacume. Hermione's blood boiled. THAT'S....IT....DURSLY'S..... "WHY DON'T YOU TRY GETTING UP OFF YOUR LAZY ARSES? THERE'S AN IDEA! OR HIRE A BLOODY GARDENER TO DO EVERYTHING! OR HOW ABOUT YOU , PETUNIA??? yOUR SUCH A CLEAN FREAK! YOU DO IT!!!!!" Hermione then clamed down. Vernan's food emptied out his mputh in a clump. Petunia's peas rolled off the spoon before entering her still open mouth. Dudley just stopped licking the plate clean and his tounge rested on the sparkling plate. There were a few moments of silence and peace beofe Vernan got red. And I mean RED. He wnet pink, red, then purple and red. Then twitched. I don't have a big enough font to describe the vloue of his voice so I'm not even going to try. He grabbed Hermione by the collar and began pulling her upstairs as she choked. Petunia followed with Dudley who had grabbed another plate. He threw her into Harry's bedroom and was about to say something....or erupt, for that matter......when Hermione got right up to his ugly face. "If you don't let me go there this Monday, i will send my Godfather out to murder you tonigh because we can comunitcate tellapathiclly. He could be here in an hour." Her voice and face would have scared Harry himself. He looked evil. The look of pure fright that came over Vernan, Petunia, and Dudley's faces were priceless. If Harry had had his leg blown off and was in the middle of a circle of death eaters, he still would have felt happy just thinking about that look. It made AHermione smile gleefully. "Well?" "You can go," Vernan growled. "But next summer...." His face twisted with delight. "You just wait, boy. You just wait." He strode out of the room and locked the door. Hermione though about poor dear Sirius. He was dead, yet still he helped Harry. Hermione thought about what had just happened and lost her voice. She was now nervous. Talk about a delayed reaction. Oh well. I've had that, too. She let allowd herself to drift into sleep. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OK! That was a short chapter, but I wanted to leave you there. By the way, i would like to STATE SOMETHING right now. I have read an endless amount of sotries that just stop for months...even a year. I am here and now making a vow (RHYMED!) that I won't do that. You will be notified if anything is going to be delayes, stopped, or just is going to take awhile, because I hate it when people do that. It's unfair. SO, that is my little vow to the readers. Please reveiw! Coming up next!: Harry changes Hermione's look. How will she react to this? Will Hary be able to do the spell? How can Hermione handle a flirting couz? Coming up later!: What happens when other relitives get invloved int eh story? And what about the burrow?
