Chapter 2

Hermione jumped her enemy her mentors killer her toughest grader was standing in her room " you know I should have gotten and "O" on that potions assignment" she said her voice shaky

"Leave it to you Miss Granger to think about grades at a moment like this" Snape said and all too familiar voice Hermione came to know and hate

"hey a moment like this isn't that the name of a song" Christi said

"CHRISTINA" yelled both Hermione and Snape

"Hey I was just trying to lighten the mood; you can't blame a girl for wanting her bestfriend and her father to get along"

"Unfortunatly sweetheart miss Granger will never tolerate me will your dear old nice" Nice the word sent a chill down Hermione spine.

"Like I said there is more to you and I am willing to give u a chance"

Then the smile came back to Christi's face "with one condition"

"and what is that" Snape looked at his daughter, he felt a bribe coming

"You let me go to Hogwarts this semester"

"Absolutely not" he was on his feet now

Hermione looked at her cousin, she know new the reason for her smile "um... you kinda have no choice dear old uncle" christi"S same smile was on her face now " your a wanted man its either let her go or I will perosnally throw you to the dementors" Hermione was no more relaxed

"Fine" Snape sounded defeated, he looked at her daughter but instead of anger he was proud she was more like him than they knew. He only hoped she would not make the same mistakes. "Ill goes tell your mother... she will be delighted"

"I don't see why though... Dumbledore is gone it's not going to be the same school" and with that he left the room" has a really cherry guy that dad of yours" Hermione said with a sigh of relief, her sarcasm was kicking in.

"yeah he is, so tell me about this boy who lived friend of yours Harry I thought his name was" Christi said laying back down on the bed.

"yeah Harry James Potter the boy who lived through the killing curse...HOLD UP DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT MAGIC!?!" she became nervous NEWTS were this year if her cousin knew nothing it would be educational suicide.

"Um not really why should I?"

"YOU ARE SO STAYING THE Entire SUMMER! MOM CHIRISTINA IS STAYING THE ENTIRE SUMMER SHE"S MAGIC INEPT! I WILL TEACH HER SIX YEARS OF MAGIC IN ONE SUMMER!" she announced with a smile on her face she went to her trunk and pulled out books from Year one.

"OK fine you can teach me magic but I'm doing something about that Hair you are handing over your wardrobe and we are going school shopping AND cloths shopping" said Christina opening the door and running to her parents, "You love me right?"

Snape eyes his daughter suspiciously, "What do you want?"

"Can we go shopping for school supplies and books and cloths and STUFF" Christina was getting more and more excited minute by minute.

"Yes but I can't go with you with will be your mother and aunts and of course your lovely cousin"

"Yes well I'd hide because Harry is on his way here"

Snape went paler then usual and hide in a closet

"Herms are you ok?" asked Harry

"HARRY you know how much I hate that stupid nickname and yeah everything is fine listen I'd love for you to stay and chat but we were leaving to go shopping sorry"

Harry eyed the house suspiciously and left.

"LETS SHOP!" announced Christina

"Ahh shopping the one thing that separates us from the guys" Christina said while pulling Hermione out of the house

"You mean besides anatomy" Hermione remarked laughing. She loved her cousin but some times she could be as dumb as a lamp post. Then again when you're as pretty as her who needs brains

"I hate you for being so darn pretty you know that" Hermione said playfully

"Hey it's a gift"

"and a curse right" Mione added

"No just a gift" Christina giggled and the girls kept walking. Half way down the street Hermione suddenly stopped which sent Christi flying forward

"um when your going to abruptly stop like the least you can do is worn a girl" she wined rubbing her bruised elbow

"Sorry sweetie but I just remembered I forgot to tell Ron to meat us at Diagon ally" Hermione said while picking Christi up from the sidewalk

"ohh well its ok at least it's for a good reason looooove"

"Keep at it and ill drop you again" Hermione joked

When they were back at the house, she called Ron as she had persuaded him to buy an actual telephone "ok then see you in a bit bye love" Hermione hung up

"ooooh love its sounds serious between you to" Christina said she was waiting impatiently for her to finish

"Yeah I guess hey um... lets go via floo powder" she quicky changed the subject Christina took noticed but said nothing

"Ok" Christian said eagerly "one question though what's floo powder"

Hermione laughed grabbed her cousin and soon they were in Diagon ally

"hey beautiful" a familiar voice called out when they appeared

"Ron how are you" Hermione hugged him although not with the usual affection

Christi was still in shock that is until she saw the Weasley twins " oh yeah ill take both" she whispered to Hermione

"With your luck you could get them both" Hermione whispered back

"yeah I know" Christi giggled" hi there I'm Christina, Christi for short" Her flirtyness was in full effect

"hi there Christi" both twins answered back she could see how the twin thing could get annoying fast, oh well she thought loosing her interest already there's always...
