Imagines [Book Two]

Harry Potter [Neville X Reader]

Author's Note: I know Hermione is the special muggleborn with no other magical family, but lets just say.. what if. Everyone will know of you, but none of them will have met you. Yet!
Also this is going to be a Soulmate AU. And an Everyone Lives AU ;) Apologies for OOC-ness of everyone. I had trouble writing this.

Imagine being Hermione's American cousin. Her twentieth birthday is coming up and her friends have planned a pub crawl. You decide to surprise her and have some fun. Meeting your soulmate is just a bonus.

Sitting in the kitchen with none other than Sirius Black has you feeling all out of sorts. You know he's not the criminal the Ministry painted him to be, but the older wizard has wandering eyes and has no problem voicing his opinion. Especially if said opinion makes you blush.

"When is Hermione getting here again?" You ask, gaze set on the warm cup of tea cradled in your hands.

"Tired of me already, kitten?" He smirks.

"Totally," you deadpan. "I'm tired of spending time with a flirtatious wizard, who by the way is actually still kind of hot in his old age-"

"Oi!"

"-and trying to keep up with his innuendos," you finish with a roll of your eyes. Then meeting his gaze, you grin. "You're fun, Sirius, but I miss my cousin dearly. I haven't seen her in years."

He sighs dramatically. "If only I were only about twenty years younger and bloody soulmarks didn't exist."

"If only," you agree before breaking out into laughter when Sirius' expression cracks.

A jingle suddenly emanates from the fireplace on the opposite end of the kitchen and the both of you perk up. Green flames erupt before spitting out a very familiar witch and your smile spreads from ear to ear.

"Honestly, Sirius," Hermione huffs while she pats off the soot from her arms, "What was so important that you- Y/N?" She then mumbles distractedly when she catches sight of you.

"My Own," you reply while standing up. "Happy birthday, cousin."

There's a moment of shocked silence before Hermione squeals and then launches herself across the room. With arms wide open, you easily catch her and the two of you embrace as only two cousins who haven't seen each other in forever can.

Sirius sighs yet again as he watches the both of you. "If only..."

"Stuff it, Black," you retort rather quickly which sends Hermione into a fit of giggles.

"Less than an hour and already you know how to handle Sirius," she muses. "You're going to get along just fine with everyone."

Finally separating, you pull Hermione down to sit on the bench next to you. "So I know we're doing a pub crawl, but what I want to know is who's coming?"
