Chapter 2: Riku Kyle Showron and Sapphire Kelli Matheny
Hermione turned to Harry. "I have something to tell you. But I don't know if it is safe to say it in fron-" She was interrupted by one of the muggles. Whom had shouted "DON'T YOU DARE DO IT RIKU." It was a female voice. The supposed male named Riku had a pitcher of ice water and was playfully threatening to pour it on her. The male had a white St. Louis Blues hockey jersey with the name Pronger and the number 44 on the back. He was also wearing a pair of blue jeans and a St. Louis Cardinals baseball cap. The female had on a white t-shirt sponsoring Nike and a pair of faded and ripped blue jeans on. "I'll do it Sapph." He replied in a jokingly cold tone. He proceeded to pour a little down her shirt before they realized they were not alone any longer. "Sapph," Riku somehow croaked. "It's Harry Potter." Riku fell to his knees and began to yell, "I'M NOT WORTHY! I'M NOT WORTHY! I'M NOT WORTHY" Harry, Hermione, and the female laughed.
Harry replied. "It's me and you're plenty worthy enough ok. Now get up off the ground and tell me how you know my name if you're a muggle."
"I'm not a muggle. I'm a wizard from the United States of America. My name is Riku Kyle Showron and this is my girlfriend, Sapphire Kelli Matheny. She's a witch. We're going to be going to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this year." He replied in a hurry.
"Well, seeing as you already know me, this is Hermione Granger my best friend. Or one of them I should say." Sapphire and Hermione looked at each other in the eye. Riku who was eyeing his girlfriend in perfection noticed the look in their eyes it was pure likeness of the other and then Sapphire nodded. Riku noted that before gulping and saying, "Harry, RUN." Riku took off as fast as he could before he jumped out of the way and sent Sapphire who was chasing him running towards Hermione and they collided head first while Riku looked at Harry who had also jumped out of Hermione's way. Riku shook his head before he was blindsided by Sapphire. Sapphire looked at him, before being pushed off. Harry had scampered to underneath the slide where the pitcher of water had been. Riku who was legally an adult now conjured another with his wand and nodded to Harry who had Hermione by the wrist, Riku quickly grabbed Sapphire around the waist and pulled her closer. Hermione was struggling but Sapphire was calm. She somewhat wanted Riku to dump it down her shirt and partially wanted him not to. She leaned up for a kiss and Riku taken by surprise let her go. Hermione who had already broken free of Harry dumped his pitcher of ice water onto the two of them. "WHAT THE HELL." Sapphire squealed. Hermione looked at Sapphire and shook her head before saying, "You two may continue. You've got to breathe sometime."
Harry chuckled a bit. He dragged Hermione over to a tree that was on the edge of the park. He turned to Hermione. "Hermione look I L…" Harry was not sure how to tell Hermione that he loved her. "Hermione, I kind of"
He was interrupted by Hermione, "Harry… If you're trying to say, you love me. Well I love you too."
"Really"
"Yes Harry, only god can stop me from loving you."
They turned to Riku and Sapphire were still lip wrestling. Harry walked over to them and picked up a rock, he chuckled a bit before throwing it at Riku who caught it as if it were nothing. Riku finally broke the kiss and Sapphire playfully cried.
Harry finally broke a few seconds silence with an attempt to get to know Riku and Sapphire better, "what type of sports are you into?"
Riku smiled, "First, These are muggle American sports and second, Hockey and Baseball obviously."
"Hockey?" Harry asked interested.
"It's a muggle sport played with a fiberglass or wooden stick that is curved. The object of the game is to put the puck, which is a vulcanized piece of rubber, into the other teams goal." Hermione replied carelessly, "Fascinating sport actually."
Harry noticed a bag sitting next to Riku. "What's in the bag." Riku grabbed a long curved fiberglass stick.
"2 Hockey sticks… and a puck… and a collapsible net." He tossed a stick to Sapphire. "Come on," He got the stick back and grabbed a tape. "I'll show you a game." Riku's House 12 Privet Drive 12 P.M. Noon
"Thank you Mrs. Showron" Hermione said as she and Harry were handed a new book. They left with Riku and Sapphire lip wrestling at the door. "Harry did you notice that this is the DADA book we need this year."
"Yeah, 'Mione I did"
"Don't call me 'Mione please Harry… However, you don't think"
"I never think."
"Ha ha ha" Hermione laughed very sarcastically, "What I meant was you don't think Riku's mum is the new DADA teacher do you?"
"Yeah, she is." Riku and Sapphire was behind them. "That's the main reason we're here. Sapphire's parents died last year so we took her in. That was before we started going out. My dad died a few days before we left."
"How?" Hermione asked feeling remorse for Riku.
"Murdered. Ironically enough, The man who killed him fled here. If I ever see him…" Sapphire squeezed his hand warningly. "… Right sorry. Anyway," He continued. "I wanted to get out of there anyways. Shootings every night. I've been shot about 10 times in the same shoulder." He revealed a scar on his shoulder. Hermione hid her eyes. "3 times I've had to have surgery."
Park
10:00 p.m.
Harry and Hermione had been gone all night and Her dad was searching for her… "Hermione" He called for what seemed like the 50th time. He and her sister Alexia were frustrated. Alexia saw 4 people sitting together on the bench. 1 of which appeared to be a female huddled over a book. "Dad look there" She pointed at the bench where she saw the female over the book. "HERMIONE ALEXIA GRANGER!" The female got up and headed towards them. "Are you her dad and her sister." It was Sapphire. "Yes we are. Where is she?" Her younger sister asked. "She headed back about 5 minutes ago." Sapphire replied nicely. Her dad nodded and headed back her sister following. They arrived about 5 minutes later and Hermione was there laying on the couch watching the television. She looked up and saw the anger in her dads eyes. And For the first time Hermione Granger was beaten.
