Chapter 1 – Lets Get Going
"Lunch is served, master." Squeaked a house-elf from the door way of his bedroom. The elf disappeared when it was given a nod in reply.
He put his quill down after finishing off the sentence he was writing and went down to the dining hall. His mother was already down there waiting for him to arrive.
"Good afternoon, mother." He greeted his mother with a smile, sitting down on the chair opposite her.
"Good afternoon, dear." His mother said with a warm smile. "So, how was your day? What did you do today?" she asked before taking a bite of her food.
He shrugged and replied, "Went down to the Coast to check if everything is prepared for them and then got started on some left over homework. They're coming tomorrow by the way."
"You really like her don't you?" His mother asked with a twinkle in her eyes. "I hope this is something serious. Its about time you found someone you actually like."
"Well, I'm inviting her over for you to see if that means anything." He said with another simple shrug. It was obvious that he was thinking about something deeply.
His mother's eyes brightened at this until she saw him opening his mouth to say something hesitating.
"Mother." He started slowly as if choosing how to put his words wisely. "Mother, I have that feeling again– "when he saw his mother smile sadly at him he added in quickly "–its not like the usual ones mother. I know I have these every year, but…but I don't know why, this time its really strong."
He saw the sadness in his mothers eyes increase but he still went on as if really wanting to get his point across. "Mother, usually it was jut a small feeling combined with a lot of hope. But this time it's so strong that something tells me she's coming. I feel as if she's going to be somewhere really near to us."
Seeing his mother look down in sadness and shake her head slightly he said in confidence, "Mother, you can take this as a lost course if you wish. But I'm certainly going to keep my eyes open this summer. This feeling is no normal feeling and we both know that." Saying this he got up and left, leaving his food behind.
His mother looked after him with deep sadness and traces of tears in her eyes. "Dear god, whatever his feeling is let it be true this once." She prayed silently.
It was all silent for a few minutes until the lady asked no one in particular in a soft voice filled with immense hurt, "Iris. Where are you my child?"
"Oh for Merlin's sake hurry up you two." Kevin shouted up the stairs, coming out of the kitchen with a can of Coke in his hand. "Take anymore time and people will start to think that you lot have never been out of a house before. "
"What are they doing up there apart from getting dressed?" Kevin asked Josh who was sprawled across the couch as if he was brutally thrown onto it but looking calm at the same time, eating grapes out of a bowl on his stomach.
"You forgot getting dressed comes along with a big package known as make-up for the much more sensitive gender of ours or the ones that we refer to as females. I'm guessing their stuffing their faces with it now." Josh replied while throwing a few grapes into the air and catching it in his mouth when it came back down. "But if that's what would get they to look good then I'm not complaining. I don't want them going out with their supposedly 'natural looks' that would make even poor old Voldemort scream and run the other way he came from."
Kevin snorted and said, "Well in that case I'll invite him over when they have that slimy green stuff on their face and that too early in the morning, especially when the alarm goes off. Poor guy will have a heart attack."
Josh chuckled and said, smiling a bit, "He wouldn't know what hit him. In fact if I were him I would-"
Josh was cut off as a plastic bag full of smelly clothes was thrown at his face.
"- If you were Voldemort you would what? Pass out as soon as the alarm clock hit your head?" said a female voice from the top of the stairs.
"Course if that's the case then you don't have to worry about it Josh since your always passing out anyway." Said another female voice with a hint of amusement in it coming from behind the first female.
"Finally, you're here!" Kevin exclaimed as if the boys had been waiting very long for the girls to arrive with the news of someone's death.
Josh lifted the bag of his face to look at the two young ladies that had just descended the stairs.
The first one had straight long shiny brown hair that fanned with her every movement and was half way down her shoulders. She was really beautiful to look at with her high cheekbones, normally straight nose, fully filled out lips, fair smooth skin and her deep dark brown eyes. She was sure to stand out in a crowd with her perfectly curved body and a height of 5'9. She had long slightly tanned legs that anyday a guy would feast upon than on a tasty dish. All in all she was stunningly mouth watering. She was in one of her usual outfits while going out with her friends during the summer holidays. She was wearing a Jean skirt that went around her bum showing of her perfect ass and almost went down to her knees. She also had on a Jean jacket under which was a cute baby pink coloured top with the words 'Girls Rule!' and the picture of a cartoon girl on it. The top showed of a portion of her slightly tanned stomach and at the centre you could see a tattoo (that she herself didn't know where it came from since she was never one for tattoos) of a purple Iris flower with a grey centre that looked as if it was coming out of her belly hole. When you looked at the tattoo you would see a glimmer of light coming from the centre or rather from the inside of the flower. But when you look closely you would be able to see that the glimmer is just the light reflecting of a grey belly button stone placed right at the centre of the iris that you would never notice it if it weren't for the glimmering of the belly stone. The Jean jacket stopped at exactly her waist showing of her top underneath. This breath-taking girl was none other than our Harry Potter's and Ron Weasley's best friend Hermione Granger.
The girl behind her was Ashley Blaihton, one of Hermione's best friends outside Hogwarts. She was really good looking and had long blonde hair, deep dark crystal coloured eyes, a great figure and a height of 5'8. She too was in one of her casual outdoor clothes. She was wearing a sleeveless sky blue coloured top which gave her an air of innocence that is immediately taken away when you see 'Boys Suck!' along with the picture of a thumping fist across the top. She had a dark red mini skirt on that gave her a sexy appeal and brought out the little tan that she has on her body. Her top too like Hermione's showed a bit of her stomach along with her dark crystal coloured belly button stone.
Both girls had on make-up to the minimum with just a little eye shadow, mascara and lip gloss, as if they didn't need it at all. You didn't have to look twice to see that they were both naturally beautiful.
"I didn't give it to you to throw it away. I gave it to you to put it in the washing." Hermione said, pointing at the smelly bag on the floor that Josh just threw.
"That's both your stuff by the way." Ashley said sitting down on the couch next to Kevin and taking the can of Coke from him just as he was about to take a drink from it. Kevin frowned at this, which turned into a scowl when Ashley gave him the can back, smiling sweetly, after taking a drink from it. His scowl deepened when he went to snatch the can back and got nothing but air. He looked up to see her holding the can above her head. He quickly got hold of her hand, which was not a big think since he was at least 2 inches taller than her, and grabbed the can out of her hand. He grinned seeing her frown and flopped back down on the couch.
"What do you mean all our stuff? We cleaned all our stuff up yesterday. You made us do that remember?" Kevin asked taking another drink from the can.
"You did." Hermione agreed. "But you left out our room and we had to do it. That's why were late, unlike what some of you may think" She added while looking at Josh.
Seeing her look Josh grinned and said, "We just come up with theories you know. Who knows what kind of practical you lot do in there. After all it is your bedroom."
Ashley exclaimed a "Hey!" scowling at this while Kevin and Josh shared an amused grin. Ashley opened her mouth to say something but Hermione beat her to it.
"Say all you want but we at least have the decency to do it in our bedroom unlike you both who wouldn't even wait for the night to fall." Hermione said taking the bowl of grapes from him and eating some while removing his leg from the couch for her to sit down. "And at least sit properly Josh. You look like you've been manhandled or something."
Ashley snorted as Josh looked disgusted at the very thought and Kevin chuckled into his can.
"Spare me the image Iris. You make me sound gay when you say that!" Josh said to Hermione getting up, taking the smelly bag and going to the kitchen with it.
"And your point is?" Hermione asked with a smile.
This time it was Hermione's and Ashley's turn to share an amused grin as they saw Josh returning from the kitchen with a frown on his face.
"What are you making me out to be?" Josh asked seeing their grin. "And don't even think about saying gay." Josh cut in quickly seeing Hermione open her mouth.
Sensing another teasing argument coming along Kevin quickly said, "Now that we are all here don't you think we should get a move on? You know how Bell can get when we are late. And if we stay anymore longer we will have to cut in one of our breaks." Kevin looked at his watch and stood up to prove his point.
Seeing this Hermione too looked at her watch and stood up. "Your right, we should be leaving now." Saying this Hermione ate the few grapes left and went to the kitchen to put the bowl away along with Kevin who had to throw the can away.
Seeing no argument coming or rather I say no embarrassment coming for Josh, he picked up the keys of the car from the table and went to start the car as Ashley came out an held the door open for Hermione and Kevin who were both leviating the luggage. Once they were all out Ashley locked the door to the house safely while Hermione and Kevin put the luggage away at the back of the car and Josh looked at the engine. When they were all in Josh started the car and put on some music that they all equally liked. Both the boys were at the front of the car and the girls were at the back.
It was a soft slow music that was playing at the moment and during moments like this all of them were always quite no matter whatever argument they were in the middle of. They would just sit there and listen to it being played while letting the music flow through their body captivating them. Times like this were always so peaceful, where as when there is a song on that they like with a good amount of beat in it and a nice rhythm then they would all just crack up and start singing along with it while dancing as much as you can. Well in this case, dancing as much as you can with you hands and without overthrowing the car with all the shacking and the movements.
Hermione felt really relaxed and calm due to the softness of the song. She looked out of the window and thought about her summer.
