Easier To Lie

Chapter 3: Present Day, England

P.O.V: Outsider, knowing Annabelle Lemeur's thoughts.

Hermione Granger woke up very disoriented. She didn't know where she was or what she was doing there. Finally she realized she was on the couch, in Paris, at her Tante Annie's, house. She had gone there for the summer to relax, with her cousins.

Feet came running down the stairs, very quickly and very loudly. Annabelle Lemeur ran to her living room, where her cousin, Rione was sleeping. She knew Rione had probably; fell asleep on the couch reading, and that was why she couldn't find her in the guest room. She quickly peeked into the room, and took a long look at her cousin. She had brown hair that was much too curly, along with plain brown eyes which were once filled with happiness. Anna sighed; she was still upset about her parent's closest friend's death, who wouldn't be. But Hermione didn't have any living relatives, so she was sent with her God parents, Benedict and Aaliyha D'Gafalen-Lemeur and their children. Annabelle was always close with Hermione or Rione as she enjoyed calling her.

Of course they were the best of friends but there were things that Annabelle couldn't tell Rione, like her being adopted, or the fact that it was her own mother who had found little Hermione, when she wasn't even a day old, and gave her away to the Grangers, who Aaliyha knew where good people. Of course Annabelle Lemeur could not tell her best friend that she was a witch. Rione would just send her off to a mental asylum. Annabelle so wanted to tell her close friend of the adventures she had at her 'special school' or that she knew people who knew the famous Harry Potter. But Hermione wouldn't know who Harry Potter was. Anna sighed again; she wished that Hermione was a witch, even if she was a muggle-born one while Anna was pure-blood. Annabelle swept her coal black hair out of her face, just as she say Rione get up. She had plans for today, plans that she knew Hermione would hate, but that was her problem.
