Fan Fiction ❯ Harry Potter and the Phoenix Kiss ❯ Hermione's Arrival ( Chapter 2 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]
The arrival of a witch into their home, Harry was glad to see, sent his relatives into an
extreme panic.Now with Hermione arriving he was worried how rude the Dursleys would
be to the Grangers.

"Will they be driving?" Uncle Vernon spat at him at around quarter till.

"Yes."

His uncle sneered at him. Then he turned his attention to Dudley. Dudley had recovered
with his last meeting from a group of wizards with a six foot long tongue.

At last, nine o clock arrived and right on cue there was a ring at the doorbell. Harry
jumped up from the kitchen to get it. He opneed the door and felt his jaw drop to the
floor.

"Hermione?" He asked. This girl standing before him couldn't be the bossy bookworm
who was one of his best friends.

"Hello Harry." She said before lunging at him and wrapping her arms around his shoulders
in a massive hug. (Harry felt himself reddening) When she stepped back she bagan to walk
around in circles around him as if evaluating how much he had changed in the month
since they had said good-bye at King's Cross Station.

He's changed alot. She noticed he had grown to be at least six foot and his muscles were
much more noticeable. Then she looked up into his green eyes and saw they had a kinda
haunted look in them that caused her heart to fall into her stomach.

But it wasn't like she hadn't changed either. Her bushy brown hair was now cut short to
right below her ears. She had gotten a slgiht tan. And like Harry she had had a slight
growth spurth ands was now 5'8".

"Are you gonna introduce us Hermes?" A man's voice questioned form behind Hermione.
He stepped towards Harry and held out his hand which Harry shook. The man had brown
hair which was now slightly balding and blue eyes.

Harry then turned to Hermione and asked her "Hermes?" Then fought the urge to burst
out laughing but couldn't help but grin.

"It's my nickname Bolt" She said with a grin of her own. Harry grinned when he heard a
bark and looked down.

There standing beside Hermione's leg was a great dog which Harry instantly recognised as
Sirius.

"Hello Snuffles" Harry said

The dog licked his palm then transformed into a man with wild balck hair and dark brown
eyes that had not lost the haunted, gaunt look Azkaban had given him.

"Hello to you too Harry." Sirius said grinning then peered past Harry and asked anxiously
"Where are the Dursleys?" He said before shooting them an innocent look.

HArry grinned then pointed to the kitchen where at the door you could see the outline of a
whale-sized boy or boy-sized whale there was no way to tell.

The four of them walked inside and entered the kitchen causing Dudley to fall to the floor
before shooting a terrified glance at Hermione. He then got up and tried to hide behind his
father who like his son and wife was looking at them in terror.

"Aunt Petunia Uncle Vernon this is Mr. Granger and Hermione." Harry said pointing to
them. Then with a dramatic pause he pointed back to Sirius before saying "and this, is my
godfather Sirius Black."

Harrry watched in estacy while all color drained from the Dursley's faces. They then
scrambled out of the room and probably baracaded themselves in the living room.

Harry now knew without a dount that this would be the best summer of his life
