"When's Hermione getting here?" Harry asked Ron.

Ron looked up from the comic book he had been reading and answered, "I thought she was supposed to get here today."

It was an exceptionally hot afternoon at the Burrow right in the end of July. Harry had arrived a week earlier, and will be staying with Ron until their 6th year of Hogwarts started. Hermione was supposed to of arrived that morning, but there was no sign of her and they hadn't heard from her or even gotten an owl.

"Do you think maybe something happened, you know maybe she got lost or something." said Harry after a few minutes of thinking.

"She's been here before, I don't see how she would get lost." replied Ron with an annoyed tone. "and, why do you keep asking about her anyway?"

"well..um..idk..its just..umm..I'm just worried ok." Harry stammered.

"alright then." Ron mumbled as he headed to the kitchen to see what smells so good.

Why am I so impatient about Hermione arriving? Harry thought to himself. I just miss her a lot lately, she really needs to hurry up and get here before tomorrow, we can't have fun in Diagon Alley without her.

-----------------------

Ron wandered downstairs to the kitchen thinking to himself. Does Harry like Hermione too, wait not too cause I don't like her. Oh I don't know why I can't just admit to myself that I like her. I hope Harry doesn't like her like I like her, cause I think she likes him back and I won't have a chance if I'm up against him.

"RON" Mrs. Weasley screamed up the stairs.

Startled from his own thoughts, and the fact that his mom almost screamed right in his face, Ron stepped into the kitchen.

"Mum I'm right here, why did you yell?"

"Oh sorry Ronny I didn't even look before I yelled, but we just got an owl from Hermione saying she will be here this evening."

"Cool, what is taking her so long?" replied Ron quizzically.

"Something about she had to meet her cousins, I'm not really sure." said Mrs. Weasley while fiddling with the hem of Ron's shirt sleeve.

"Mum, get off." Ron said crossly and backed away from his mother.

"Well dear your seam is coming out" saying this Mrs. Weasley raised her wand and did a quick spell to mend the torn seam. "Ron, why don't you go wash up for dinner, and call the others down while you're up there."

"Ok" Ron murmured as he turned and took the stairs two at a time, heading to his room.

----------------------

He took a stop at Ginny's room, told her to come down for dinner, then went over to Fred and George's room and told them the same. He then went to his own room to get Harry.

"Harry come on dinner's almost ready, mum said to wash up." Said Ron across the room. "Oh, and Hermione will be here this evening, she had to meet her cousins before leaving, mom just got an owl from her."

"Great, I didn't want her to miss Diagon Alley tomorrow. We're still going to get our school things tomorrow right?" He asked questionably.

"As far as I know we are." Ron replied as they headed down to the bathroom to wash up. "Hey ur birthday is in two days, what do you want?" Ron added glancing back at Harry.

"You don't have to get me anything Ron, I'm used to it as u know." Harry said casually.

"Mate, don't think like that you know I'm still going to get u something." Ron replied laughing.

"Well if you insist on it, just surprise me."

At this they were startled by Fred bursting down the stairs, knocking Ron to the ground.

"Watch it, what is going on, why are you running?" Ron yelled as he picked himself up off the ground outside of the bathroom.

"I'll explain later." said Fred breathless as he took off again downstairs.

Less than 2 seconds later Ginny came hurrying downstairs, nearly knocked Ron down as well, she looked furious.

"Did Fred just come by here?" she asked in a very harsh tone.

"Yah, he just ran by heading downstairs." Harry answered with raised eyebrows.

"Ok thanks Harry." Ginny said quickly as she hurried to catch up to Fred.

"Hmm I wonder what that was all about?" Harry asked confused.

"Who knows, they do that all the time though. Fred and George are always pulling some kind of trick on Ginny. She's just too gullible and they know it." Ron answered while washing his hands.

Ron stepped aside to dry off and Harry stepped up to the sink for his turn at washing. "So around what time will Hermione arrive?"

"I don't know," Ron replied crossly. "The owl just said this evening."

Ron walked out and started down the stairs. Harry stepped over to dry his hands, Well, what ticked him off so bad. I only asked a question. Harry thought to himself while heading down the stairs to dinner.

His thoughts were abruptly stopped as he entered the kitchen to see Hermione hugging everyone hello. Standing next to her were two girls who he's never seen. Each had brown hair and looked rather out of place standing in the middle of the Weasley's kitchen.

"Harry!" Hermione ran up to him and embraced him in a very tight hug. "How has your summer been?" She asked excitedly.

Harry caught his breathe and replied, "It's been ok, even better now that you're here. How has yours been?"

"Pretty boring, spent the whole of it babysitting for my next door neighbors and doing my summer homework."
"We didn't have summer homework, did we?" said Ron with a look of worry.

"It was extra credit work from my Ancient Runes class, I had loads of it to do. OH, everyone these are my cousins Michelle and Lea." Hermione said gesturing towards the two misplaced girls.

Ron looked over at the two strangers and at first look knew they were American. They were each equally beautiful, with their shoulder length brown hair and jean skirts on. There were gazing around the room at all the un-familiar faces rather nervously.
"Hey" Michelle and Lea said with a wave and a forced smile.

"I just got a call from them this morning, they are going to be student teaching at Hogwarts this year." Hermione almost screamed.

"So you two are witches?" Ron asked, Michelle and Lea nodded their heads. "What school did you go to?"
"We just recently graduated from Yulstang Academy." Michelle answered smiling and moving closer to Ron.

"Where's that, I've never heard of it." Harry asked confused.

"It's in the United States, in Texas actually." replied Lea while rummaging through her purse, pulling out a lip gloss and applying it heavily to her lips.

"Oh really, I never knew there were wizarding schools in the United States." Harry added very interested to hear that there were more than 3 wizarding schools in the world.

"Yah I haven't heard from Michelle or Lea since we were young, I didn't even know they were witches too. I've always thought I was the only one in the family who was a witch or a wizard." Hermione said excitedly.

"Well dears lets all gather around the table and have a bit of dinner, its so nice to have you here finally Hermione. And its wonderful to meet you Michelle and Lea." Mrs. Weasley said before calling the others from the living room, "FRED, GEORGE, GINNY, ARTHUR."

The rest of the Weasley's joined them in the kitchen, Molly did a quick spell to elongate the table and add a few extra chairs for their guests. The 6 Weasley's and their 4 guests sat down at the table all starving and anxious for dinner to begin.

Hermione greeted Ginny and the others and they started dinner. Mr. Weasley was very pleased to find out that these 2 girls are muggle born and live in America. He started to bombard them with random questions. But Molly would hear nothing of the sort and quickly started a new conversation before the girls were too bothered by her meddling husband.

"So how old are you girls, you look so young to be teaching at Hogwarts?" she asked in her motherly tone.

Michelle laughed and replied, "Well I'm 17 and Lea is 18, and we aren't actually teaching at Hogwarts this year."

"Yah its more of student teaching, I'll be helping out with Potions lessons and Michelle will be student teaching transfiguration." Lea finished.

"We will also be staying in the dorms with the students. Dumbledore has decided to have 4 student teachers this year, who will also be put into a house and will be helping out the head of the houses. I'll be with Gryffindor this year, and Lea will be staying with the Slytherins. Two of the boys from Yulstang in our year have been chosen for Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, I know you guys will like them they are some awesome guys." Michelle added happily.

"Oh how exciting, we are all in Gryffindor and I don't know about the others but I could use a bit of a break from Snape and the other teachers. Its gonna be fun having teachers that aren't that much older than us. By the way I'm Ginny and I'll be a 5th year."

Hermione suddenly gasped, "Oh yah I'm so sorry, I forgot to introduce you two to everyone. Ok well u know Ginny now, and these are her brothers; Ron, George, and Fred. George and Fred are 19, and Ron is 16 and a 6th year like me. This is Harry Potter, also a 6th year, and Mr. and Mrs. Weasley." she finished.

-----------------

They continued through dinner, had normal small talk and Michelle and Lea got to know each of the new people a little bit better. Ron, sitting across the table from Michelle, caught her staring at him several times throughout the duration of dinner. Hermione chatted to her friends who she hasn't seen all summer and they all got caught up.

Once they finished up their dinner, Mrs. Weasley cleared the table and said to the kids, "You need to get up to your rooms and go down for the night. We have to be up early in the morning tomorrow so we can get to Diagon Alley before the rush."

"But mummy, do we have to go to bed now?"Ginny whined.

"Not yet, but soon. At least go to your rooms and start to settle into bed. ok dears?" Mrs. Weasley said while starting the dishes in the sink to wash their selves.

The kids started upstairs, but Ginny in front stopped shortly and pushed her way through the others back to her mother.

"Mum, where are Michelle and Lea going to be staying?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, well lets see. I'm sure we can fit another bed into your room can't we dear." Ginny nodded "I'm sure is alright for you two to share a bed, your sisters so I'm sure you've done it before." she added talking to Lea and Michelle who were standing at the foot of the stairs.

"Sisters, oh no we are cousins, our moms are sisters, as is Hermione's mom." Lea answered with a laugh.

"But, you're right we are used to sharing a bed, we do it often. So we don't mind at all." Michelle added with a smile.

"Ok girls go on upstairs and don't stay up too late, we really need to be out by 10 tomorrow morning." Mrs. Weasley replied.

"We won't mum." Ginny said on her way upstairs. With the 3 cousins following closely behind her.

------------------

"So what do you think about the Americans?" Ron asked Harry after they got up to Ron's bedroom.

"Well they seemed cool, and I'm definitely looking forward to having another teacher with Snape, so maybe we won't have to have him breathing down our necks as much this year." Harry answered thoughtfully. "And I think that one girl fancied you a bit."

"Which one?" Ron asked, even though he knew the answer already cause he also noticed it.

"The one that had on the orange shirt, Michelle I think."

"Oh yeah, you really think so?" Ron faked a questionable look.

"Yeah I'm sure of it, I saw the way she was looking at you. Batting her eyelashes, smiling, and just gazing at you during dinner." Harry answered imitating Michelle by batting his eyelashes as well.

"Hmm I didn't notice." Ron lied.

"Well, she's pretty cute. What do you think?" said Harry, hoping Ron might like one of them and maybe move on from Hermione so he, Harry, can have Hermione for himself.

"Yeah they are both hott, but I don't know cause they are teachers. How will that go over at school if students dated a teacher." Ron replied.

"Well you heard them, they aren't exactly teachers, they are student teachers. Student being the key word, they are still like students and they won't be teaching like our professors, they are just helping out. And besides they are staying in our dorms, like the other students. So I don't see a problem, and Michelle is only a year older than us. She's an older American girl, mate, I don't know why you'd turn her down." Harry added hopefully.

"Well we'll see what happens." Ron said as he turned over and attempted to go to sleep.

Harry gave up trying to get Ron interested in another girl besides Hermione. I can't force him to like someone else. Harry thought to himself. He's my best mate, if he likes Hermione I should back off, but he should step up and let his feelings out. Well I will try to go back to normal with Hermione for a while and see what Ron does. Maybe this is his year to come out to Hermione, or maybe this is his year for a new crush. I can only hope. And Harry drifted off to sleep.

--------------------

A few floors down the girls were getting into their jimjams and settling into their beds. Of course they couldn't just go to sleep, they had to stay up for a while and girl talk.

"So how are you liking it in England?" Hermione asked her cousins while tying her hair up in a knot on her head.

"It's alright, a lot colder here than in Texas. Which is a good thing." said Lea.

"It's cool to be in an all wizard family. We have muggle family's as you know, and there is no magic at our house, it's a normal muggle house. This house is so awesome, and I'm really looking forward to going to all the wizard shops and seeing your school." Michelle added enthusiastically.

"So both of you had no idea you were witches until you were accepted into the school?" Ginny asked.

"Yeah we had no idea that any of this magical world existed, just one day I got a letter and was totally shocked." Michelle answered sitting down on the bed next to Lea.

"There must be some kind of magic in our family way back when cause the three of us being witches, that couldn't just come from nowhere." added Lea.

"This is going to be a good year at school. Having my two cousins who I haven't seen in like 10 years spending the whole year with me is going to be so cool." said Hermione.

"It's crazy that you go to Hogwarts Hermione, we had no idea. We were told that the headmaster of Hogwarts wanted us to student teach there, and heard that Hogwarts was located in England. My mom reminded us about you and your mom living here and said I should give y'all a call and maybe we can get together before we have to be at school. We were so shocked when you told us that you know what Hogwarts is." Said Michelle while using her want to paint her toenails a very deep pink color.

"I was shocked to hear you say the name Hogwarts, and to think that I'm not the only witch in my family this is --" Hermione was cut off by a knock on the door. It was Mrs. Weasley.

"Girls I'm going up to bed, I'd suggest you'd do the same. Actually I'm telling you to do the same. Goodnight and I'll see you in the morning."

"Night" they all said in unison as the door closed.

The four of them looked at each other then Ginny piped up and said, "We might as well go to bed before she comes back in here."

"Yeah maybe we should, goodnight everyone." Hermione said through a yawn.

"Night Hermi--" Lea started but was cut off by Ginny suddenly sitting up and saying.

"Michelle, I was noticing you looking quite a lot at my brother."

"Yeah I was meaning to ask you about that too." Hermione sat up and said.

Michelle laughing said, "Well, I think Ron is very cute. He seems like a nice guy, so yah I think I have the makings of a crush on him."

"Oh god not another crush, Hermione you should of warned us we were going to meet red heads. Michelle has a thing for red headed guys." Lea sounded annoyed.

"Lea, shut up its not a "thing", I like other hair colors too." Michelle replied while playfully hitting her cousin.

"Well I bet I could definitely get you and Ron together, want me to casually ask him if he likes you?" Hermione asked excitedly.

"Um, I guess, don't be too forward though." said Michelle nervously, her face turning red.

"Oh I won't, I'll hint to him tomorrow, and tell you what he says." Hermione added, excited to hear that Ron has a crush.

"Ok that sounds good, well goodnight girls!" said Michelle turning over to face the wall.

"Night" they all replied.
