Chapter 15

Two days laterrrr...

Draco stepped down from the ladder. "There, finally." He sat down on the couch.

"We finally finished decorating." Hermione said sitting next to him. "It looks great." She looked around the room, admiring their work.

"We could have finished a lot quicker if you would have just let me use my wand."

"It's more fun this way...more traditional."

"Yeah sure." Draco drawled sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

They heard a tapping and turned to look. Hermione stood up to let the familiar owl in, which dropped a letter at her feet. She bent down and opened it curiously.

Hermione,

I greatly miss you, but I shouldn't be missing you for very long. I have great news. I decided i needed a little change in my life, so I am transferring! Okay yeah I know that's a not so little change, that's a BIG change. That's right! I'm coming to Hogwarts! I wanted to surprise you, but I just couldn't keep shut any longer. I am just going to surprise you by not saying when I'll be there. I can't wait I can't wait to see my favorite cousin!

Love,
Emma

Hermione gasped. "What is it?" Draco asked curiously.

"It's my cousin, Emma. She's transferring to Hogwarts!" She squealed.

"You're cousin's a witch? aren't you muggleborn?"

"I am, but my aunt, my mum's sister, married a wizard, and they had a daughter, who's also a witch. Shed's been going to Beauxbatons. She's actually our age. Oh Draco, I just can't wait to see her!"

Draco smiled at her excitement. It made him happy to see her this happy. Hermione sat back down next to him, laying her head on his shoulder. He automatically wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer as he rested his head on top of hers. He loved this. 'This feels right' He thought as they both stared into the fireplace, watching the flames.

"Miss Granger, Mr. Malfoy." They heard a voice greet them from behind.

The two stood up and turned towards the portrait hole where Dumbledore stood. "Professor, what are you doing here?" Hermione asked.

"Well there's someone here who really wanted to see you." he replied

A girl, who looked a lot like Hermione, popped out from behind him. "Surprise!" she exclaimed

Hermione gasped. "Emma!" She ran up and wrapped her arms around her cousin. "Oh my gosh, I just got your owl!"

"I planned it like that, well sort of" Emma hugged her again. "I really missed you!"

"I missed you too!"

"Miss Granger, I trust that you will show your cousin around, and help her get acquainted. She has been sorted into Gryffindor, so you can show her where it is." Dumbledore said and Hermione nodded. "Well I wish you three a goodnight, I must go back to my office and take care of some business."

Both girls squealed. "So where's Aria? I really missed her too!" Emma said.

"Oh she's with Madame Pomfrey. She takes care of here while we're in classes. I almost forgot! Can you get her?" Hermione asked Draco, who just nodded.

Emma stuck her hand out to him. "Hi, I'm Emma, Emma Watson."

"Hey, Draco Malfoy." He replied, shaking her hand. He smirked when her eyebrows shot up at the mention of his name. She looked as Hermione wide eyed. He cleared his throat. "I'm going to get Aria now. Nice to meet you Emma." He let go of her hand and headed out the portrait.

"Uh...did he say Draco Malfoy?" Hermione just nodded her head. "Is he the same Dra-"

"Same one. It's a long story, which I will tell you as we head towards the Gryffindor tower." Hermione said tugging at her arm.

"Well it must be quite the story, because you two were pretty cozy on the couch." Emma smirked.

"Aaawww, Herms, he seems like a really sweet guy." Emma cooed

Hermione cringed at the nickname "He can be. He's really a good friend, plus he's shockingly amazing with Aria." she said.

"Friend? Hmmm, if I were you, I wouldn't mind being more than friends with him."

"We are strictly just friends."

"What are you so afraid of? He is obviously a nice, caring person, especially when it comes to you and Aria. Not to mention, he's gorgeous!" Emma exclaimed. Hermione rolled her eyes. She hears that from every girl. "I'm not blind, and neither are you, Hermione. Every girl with eyes can see that. You just gotta open yours."

"My eyes are open, and I can see that he is attractive." Hermione said the password to the fat lady, and they entered

"Well then maybe it's not your eyes that need opening, but your heart."

Hermione sighed. "Ems."

"Herms."

"Mione, what are you doing here?" Harry stood up from the couch. He did a double take as he looked from Hermione to Emma and then back."

"I know, we're practically twins." Hermione said "Harry, this is my cousin Emma. Emma this is my best friend, Harry." She introduced.

"Hello" Harry held out his hand, staring at her.

Emma blushed as she took his hand. "Hi"

Hermione looked between the two. 'Hmm...interesting...'
