"MI!! I've missed you soo much!"

"ASHELY!" Hermione ran over to her cousin and gave her a tight hug. Ashley stood at 5 foot 3. Her hair, long, chestnut brown. And her eyes, a dark brown. She was very pretty. Her and Hermione were the same age. Ashley's birthday only a few months before Hermione's.

"Ashley! You look great!"

"Why thank you! And look at you……. You look the same!!!!"

Ashley let out a little giggle and Hermione frowned.

"I know! That's what you are here for!"

"hah! I feel so special! Come on! Lets go to my room! We need to talk, catch up on TONS of things!"

"Alright! Im coming!" Ashley grabbed Hermione's arm and dragged her up the stairs to her room. Once they were in her room, Ashley shut the door and turned to Hermione.

"So, Mi, how have you been?"

"Oh just peachy!" Hermione couldn't kid herself, everything wasn't peachy! Her and DRACO MALFOY were good friends! Her and her best friends weren't talking at the moment. Harry cheated on her with her best friend Ginny. Everything definitely wasn't peachy and Ashley could see right through Hermione.

"Mi, you know that you cant lie to me! I can see right through that fake smile of yours!"

Hermione seemed to be very interested in the quilt on the bed beneath her.

"Whats wrong? You can tell me! Let me guess, Boyfriend trouble? Or do you not have one?"

Hermione frowned at Ashley.

"Well, I did. But something happened and now I don't."

"ohh! Pray tell!" Ashley jumped on the bed next to Hermione, put on a huge grin and said in a sweet, childish voice, "Pwease Mi?"

"Alright! Well lets see, where shall I start?"

"The beginning is always the best spot!"

"Haha. Ok! So me and my good friend, Harry, started dating before we left for school. I got very sick and had to stay in the infirmary in my school until I was better. While my stay, Harry thought that he could get away with cheating on me. But that didn't work and I I caught him. But he didn't just cheat on me with anyone, he chose my best friend Ginny!!!!!" Hermione found herself crying. She told herself that she wasn't going to cry over this, yet she was. She continued to tell Ashley everything minus the magic and such. She told her everything from getting detention to kissing her enemy, well ex- enemy now, Draco Malfoy.

"Alright Ash, I think im going to take a nap. Is that alright?"

"Oh yeah, sure. You know where your room is?"

"it's the one down the hall, am I correct?"

"Yupp. Your stuff should be there already."

"Thanks."

Hermione walked down the hall to her room. She really needed a nap. So she laid down on her bed and closed her eyes. What felt like hours later, Hermione woke up.

"maybe I'll go ask Ash what we are going to do while I'm here."

She walked to Ashley's room and opened the door. Ashley stood there with a wand in hand and a book in front of her. From where Hermione laws, it looked like a Defense Against the Dark Arts books.

"SHIT!" was all Ashley could say,

Hermione's mind was racing! 'Ashley is a witch!?!?' the image of Ashley with her wand kept flashing in her mind.

"Mi! um.. Hi!"

"Yo- yo- yo- you're a w- w- witch?"

"Um…. Guilty?" Ashley said with a look of nervousness on her face.

"How come you didn't tell me?"

"please, don't tell anyone! Mom said that I wasn't allowed to tell you! I wish I could have though. But please don't say anything or I'll have to use a memory charm on you."

Hermione's face had a huge grin on it. Then she pulled out her wand.

"Not if I cant put one on you first!"

Ashley just stood there in a state of shock!

"you're a witch too?"

"Yupp!"

"What school do you got to?"

"Hogwarts. You?"

"Durmstrung."

"Oh, do you know Victor (spelled right?) Krum?"

"Yes, why?"

"We dated in 4th year when he came for the Twizard Tournament. Harry didn't like the idea, but Victor was nice. Everyone knew that Harry liked me, but I didn't like him like that then."

"Wait, so do you know Harry Potter?"

"…yes" Hermione answered this question sounding alittle upset.

"Wait, so the Harry you dated was……HARRY POTTER?"

"…once again yes."

"OMG! That's so cool! You were friends with Harry Potter!"

"err. Me Ronald Weasley and Harry Potter, the Golden Trio. Well now, its more like Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley, the Golden Duo."

"Wow. that's soo cool! I still cant get over the fact that you were friends with Harry Potter!"

"HE USED ME! He wasn't my friend. All he did was use me for my homework!"

"What do you mean, Homework?"

"I am the top witch in Hogwarts. And in my year. I scored the highest grade on my O.W.L.S in the past century in Hogwarts. And he just so happened to be a lazy arse and not do his work, so he used me for my brains."

"WOW! MI! I didn't know you were soooo smart! I knew you went, well I was told you went to a private school,but wow. that's amazing! I would never use you, but you could help me with this spell, its so hard!"

For the next 20 minutes, Hermione helped her cousin on a rather difficult spell for Ashley, but quiet simple for her.

"Girls! Its time for dinner!"

Ashley and Hermione made their way downstairs for dinner.

"Mom, guess what? Hermione goes to Hogwarts! She's a witch also!"

"Yes, I know dear."

"You knew Aunt Lynn?"

"How come you didn't tell me mom?"

"Because it wasn't safe, and still isn't. now lets sit down and eat."

Hermione looked confused.

"Why wouldn't it be safe?"

"Oh, Its nothing dear. Sit, sit! Im starving!"

Dinner was rather silent. The only speaking was to ask for someone to pass the potatoes or to pass something. The rest of the night was silent. Hermione and Ashley talked about school and such.

The week went by so fast! Hermione and Ashley had so much fun doing spells and talking.

"Mi, wake up! Lets go shopping!"

"Ashley, what time is it?"

"um…7:00!"

"We are going shopping now? Err!!!!"

"Here, put this on and get ready. I'll be back in about 20 minutes." Ashley handed her a pair of low rise jeans and a light blue long sleeved shirt. Hermione got out of bed and went to the bathroom to get ready. After about 10 minutes, she got out and went to Ashley's room to find her sitting in front a the mirror doing her hair and makeup.

"Hey Ash, Im ready."

"I'll be done in 5 minutes. I'll meet you downstairs. Please tell my mom that we want to leave around 8!"

"Ok. See ya."
