Hermione's sister

chapter five

Hermione and I were once again buried in books, when a messy mass of feathers flew through our window crashing into the floor with a thump. Hermione rolled her eyes. muttering something along the lines of "Errol"

she put down her book and picked up the messy feathery lump that resembled a dirty old feather duster. my cat, which I'd decided to name nox after the reverse spell to lumos, immediately goes into attack mode. I give  her a glare and she bounds out of the room. Hermione detangles the letter from the now more recognizable bird and opens it.
"how would you like to watch some quidich?" she asks me with a grin.

the next day plans are all set and we wait with our things by the fire place. mom and dad cast shifty glances around the room and at the fire place. "are you quite sure that this is harmless" asks mom nervously
"yes mother i'v done it before, we'll be fine I promise" replies hermione laughing a little.

after hugs and tearful good byes from our parents Hermione steps in the fire place with her trunk and a handful of something called floo powder. "the burrow!" she says loudly and clearly. disappearing in a freaky spurt of green flames. after one more round of hugs from mom and dad I follow Hermione into the fire place. I pull the so called floo powder from my pocket and grasp my trunk and cat cage firmly with my spare hand. "the burrow" I say as loud and clear as I can. the green flames erupt around me and I feel myself spinning extremely fast. every now and then I get a glimpse of some wizard house but whenever this happens I'm whipped away before my eyes can focus. eventually the spinning begins to slow down and I shoot out of a fire place covered in soot and ash.

Hermione giggles and pulls me to my feet. I look around the living room. there's two boys- twins another a lady and a man all with flaming red hair and freckles, and hermione. "hello dear" says the red head lady smiling at me
"I'm Molly weasly this is Aurther weasly and one of them is Fred the other is George" she says indicating the people in the room. "and you must be Gemma! hermione told us all about you of corse" she says with a smile

I smile back awkwardly. she shows us to the room we will be staying in. where there's another red head girl. "hi" she says to me "I'm Ginny"
"hey, I'm Gemma" I reply a little shyly.
Ginny and hermione gab for ages so I play with nox for a little and then I get bored so I take her out to the garden.

their garden is the most amazing thing ever. there's every type of plant and flower imaginable. none of them normal though. a jumble of old Wellington boots litter the yard and there's a chicken coop. Also theirs about a dozen little creatures. I've read about them so I'm pretty sure their called nomes. nox Instantly goes after one, and very nearly catches it. smiling I go back inside to find two boys staring at me.

"uh, hello..." I say to them. the one on the left has black hair very green eyes, glasses and a strange scar shaped like a lightning bolt. the one on the right is another red head with freckles coating is nose. "hey" says the black haired boy. "I'm Harry Potter and this is Ron Weasly" he says
"uh I'm Gemma... granger" I reply.
"Hermione's sister?" Ron asks
"uh... yeah" I answer. I go back upstairs, leaving harry and Ron to continue their whispered discussion.

back upstairs Ginny tells me all about quidich. we're going to some quidich tournament (a game played in the sky on Broomsticks) Ginny explains to me how quidich works and everything. after listening as closely as I can, I excuse my self to take a shower.

"wake up Gemma!!" hermione yells In my ear. I nearly fall out of bed but quickly sit up. "what? what's that matter?"
"we're leaving now! get dressed and go downstairs!"
"but it's still dark out"
"hurry up!!"

i run to the bathroom and attempt to tame my massively bushy blond hair. I manage to flatten it a little but not really. I glare at myself in the mirror. I have light hazel eyes and blond bushy hair. I do look remarkably like my sister. "hurry up!" I hear hermione call.
rolling my eyes I brush my teeth and head down stairs.

Fred and George are asleep at the table. Ron's attempting to eat but doesn't look conscious. And I don't even know where the others are. hermione rushes down stairs suddenly a sleepy harry following her. giggling I take a seat at the table and try to eat some toast.
