Chapter 2: The Granger House
Harry was having a very good day today. It started out with him having to go
home with the Durselys', but Hermione's mom got in a fight with Uncle
Vernon, resulting in Harry getting to stay with one of his best friend's,
Hermione.
Harry had noticed that Hermione's mom looked a lot like an older version of
Hermione, but Mrs. Granger's hair is not as bushy. And, her dad was a lot
taller than his wife. He was medium build, and he had very thick hair.
They arrived at the Granger house around 5:00 pm, Harry just stood there in
amazement at how nice their house was. Harry knew that Hermione was not poor,
but still, it was a huge gray stone house, with beautiful wood work, and
flower gardens all around it.
"So, Harry, do you like it?" asked Mrs. Granger with a delighted voice.
"Yes, it's wonderful." Harry said quietly. "Are you sure? You want me to
stay with your family?" He asked in a wondered tone.
This time, it was Hermione that replied, "Yes Harry, we want you to stay. I
want you to stay."
The inside of the Granger house was just as beautiful as the outside. It was
so clean and white. Hermione made herself at home instantly, making her way to
the couch, and finding herself a seat. Harry just stood there. He noticed
Hermione gesturing that he should take a seat. So, he chose to sit next to
Hermione, on the other end of the sofa.
"Well, I could just imagine that the two of you are just starving. How does a
pizza sound for tonight?" Mrs. Granger asked from the kitchen, the phone
already in her hand. "How's pepperoni sound?"
"Cheese!" Harry and Hermione shouted at the same time.
"Well then, it's settled. Cheese it is." Hermione's mom replied, laughing
to herself a little.
Out of all the commotion, Harry had realized that Mr. Granger wasn't in the
house. "Where's your dad?" asked Harry while looking around the room.
"Oh, he probably just went to go set up the guest room up for you is all."
Hermione had already had a book in her hand, and she had begun reading it.
Harry decided to go and find Mr. Granger, and help him out. As Harry turned
the corner he heard Mr. Granger whistling a tune that sounded familiar.
"Do you need any help Mr. Granger?" Harry said softly.
"Sure, come on in." Mr. Granger said in an inviting voice while grabbing a
fitted sheet.
"Here, put the other sides over the corners."
While Harry put the sheet over the last revealed corner, he said, "I'm glad
you let me stay for the summer."
Then Mr. Granger looked up at him and said, kindly, "Harry it's no problem
at all. Jane and I are just glad to see that Hermione made a friend." He
walked next up to Harry. "I mean, don't get me wrong, Hermione is a
wonderful, and talented, girl. But, she has not made friends easily in the
past." He grabbed the cover and threw it over the bed. "There, it's made."
Harry laughed as he said, "That's pretty much how I make my bed at
Hogwarts."
Just then, Hermione yelled, "The pizza is here!" Hermione's dad left the room
at that.
"So, Harry, do you like your room?" Hermione asked, looking at her dad's
so called made bed, disapprovingly.
"Yeah, it's great!" Harry replied enthusiastically.
"Well, you can add some of your own things to the room, if you would like."
Hermione added while heading towards the door. Harry followed her out.
"The pizza smells good." Harry sniffed the air.
"Yeah, we had better hurry, before my dad eats it all, and leaves us the
left-over crust." Hermione added, in a half-joking, but serious manner.
"I set you two plates out on the patio; it's such a nice day out. I thought
you would enjoy it." Hermione's mother told them while looking outside at the
clear sky. Harry and Hermione had headed out to the porch, where they found
had two plates on the picnic table. Along with her porch, there was a huge
in-ground pool that had crystal clear water that just shined in the sun.
Harry and Hermione sat down and ate their dinner while talking about random
topics, until they were interrupted by Hermione's mom saying, "Hermione, when
you're done, you and Harry should get in the pool. It's such a beautiful
day out. You might as well use it up."
"Mom, I don't even have a bathing suit that fits anymore." said Hermione in a
very low voice.
"Oh, don't worry about that, I got you one during the Christmas holidays.
They were on sale." "I will just lay it on your bed, and Harry, Dave has an
old one that will fit you, it's also on your bed."
About a half hour later, Harry went up to his room, and found the trunks. He
put them on since Hermione's mother demanded it the second time she asked,
making Hermione finally give in.
Harry made it back down to the pool, and found no Hermione in sight. So,
Harry decided to take off his shirt, and set it on the lawn chair. When Harry
turned around, he could hear Hermione talking to her mother about how she did
not approve of her swimsuit. Then Hermione walked out in a long white shirt
with a very red face. " What's wrong?" Harry asked as if he hadn't heard
the conversation.
"Oh, that it was nothing", she said. Hermione seemed to just notice that
Harry wasn't wearing a shirt, and she found herself looking at Harry's
chest, thinking 'Dang, he's fit.'
"So, you ready to swim?" Harry said, snapping Hermione out of her little
trance. Hermione decided to take off her shirt, which revealed her in a
blue-green two piece bikini, which made Harry him start to stare, but he
quickly snapped himself out of it. Neither seemed to notice the other's
staring. Then, they eventually got into the pool. The water felt so nice and
warm, thought Harry. Hermione looked like she felt the same way.
After about ten minutes of doing nothing, Harry and Hermione decided to throw
one of her nerf balls back and forth. Hermione could not catch one, and it
just seemed to fumble out of her fingers, which made Harry laugh. "You're
just good because you're a seeker." Hermione taunted him. After about ten
more misses by Hermione, she had given up, and got out of the pool. She
wrapped a towel around her. Then shortly after, Harry got out and did the
same.
