Chapter One: Bonfire (Familiar Face)

Hermione was sitting on a plane on her way to Washington, in only a gray t-shirt that says 'Venice Beach', black jeans, converse sneakers and an ocean blue jacket. She was thinking about how things took a drastic turn in her life. Voldemort has pretty much taken over the Ministry and Hogwarts which was a second home to her isn't a safe place any longer, for her and her friends. The order and many of their members are staying at Grimmald Place and if not are in contact with the members there. The few who knew about them, were trying to figure out how to get the horcruxes to destroy Voldemort as well as deal with his ever-growing army. Many things have changed in the past year and not all of them were bad. Draco Malfoy along with his parents, Blaise Zabini, and Theodore Nott are now members of the order and working with them to not only stop Voldemort but, to help pure-bloods who don't wish to follow him, escape. After Draco was ordered to try to kill Dumbledore and take the dark magic, Narcissa finally put her foot down by begging her husband to ask Dumbledore for help which shocked was an understatement. Not only that neither of them believed in the cause anymore but, neither of them wanted their only son to be forced to murder and follow the 'dark lord' footsteps so they went to Dumbledore for help, explained everything despite how Lucius didn't want to beg so his wife pretty much did the talking asking if they can aid the order in exchange for protection for their son. He immediately agreed.

Draco, though thrilled with the news but, refused to not leave his friends suffer the same fate as he was or be forced as his replacement and confided in his parents about this fact as they moved into Sirius house. She told her cousin after pleading and begging to hear her out at first Sirius was skeptically due to the fact her husband was right behind him and listened to what they had to say. To say that he was in total stunned and shock was an understatement so he let them inside where they all began working to get neutral pure-bloods who don't want to follow Voldemort but, don't wish to fight in the war, out of the country. The Greengrass', Zabini's, Parkinson's, Nott's and many other purebloods and half-bloods from different houses that weren't in the army were sent to various places around the world. It was a working process and was very difficult when you're dealing with Slytherin purebloods but, neutral families could go into hiding and hopefully can stay out of Voldemort's reach. However, Draco and his friends decided to stay and fight with the army.

The golden trio as well as their close friends not only learned defensive and offensive spells thanks to Hermione's older sisters Aqua and Aries who not only gained a few guys attention especially the Weasley's twins Fred and George who eventually got to know each other much to Ron's annoyance that Hermione told off at Ron in various languages in exchange it causes more tension between the two friends. Draco, Blaise, Theo and Pansy (who recently joined) thanks to Draco's influence not wanting to leave her behind watching Hermione for a few days during battle training because she was fighting swords against her sister Aqua who taught her a few things that Hermione learned a few signature famous moves along the way so they were pretty surprised to see Hermione to use one of them by using her triple double twist with a karate chop against the bricks with one chop with a yell of "HAI YA!" that cause the bricks into pieces. Seamus and Dean were dumbfounded that they couldn't help but, say "Blimey Mione since when are you that strong?" he blurted out as they were both in awe after learning the truth. Hermione however was startled seeing her two guy friends with a grin along with the rest of her classmates "Awe thanks guys that was nothing— "she waved it off as it was a normal thing for her "Unless you count those" she replied pointing at the dummies which were crumpled in pieces that left everyone a bit uneasy and the obstacles course that had a few weapons set for her

"So…what were you doing Mione?" Susan asked "You missed breakfast so Hannah and I brought you a plate in case you got hungry," she quickly added passing her a plate of food.

"Thanks Twix— "Hermione gave her thankful look nibbling her muffin "Oh you know just practically killing the death eaters left and right with the dummies over there which is more than I can handle while Ariel and Aqua prepare the obstacle course outside," she explained.

"What obstacle course are you talking about?" Pansy sneered at her. Hermione ignored her sneer "I'm talking about that one— "she began to say pointing at the maze obstacle course outside leaving everyone to widen their eyes in horror "Which is more hard core, more dangerous, one of the hardest levels to beat fighting against the death eater's dummies with dangerous weapons all in one combined put together," she explained. Neville however, was very wary noticing how hardcore that maze obstacle was "There's no way any of us can beat that Mione," he replied. Hermione soften her eyes "Don't worry that's only for the highest levels like myself you guys are still in the lower level it won't be long till you're more trained which is why we're practically for anything if we're going to fight hard core against the death eaters," she pointed out. Ron raised his eyebrow "I like to see you try to beat that maze Mione," he pointed out. Hermione gave a challenge look feeling a little intimidated "Fine but, don't say I didn't warn you— "she paused for a moment stretching herself turning her head slightly "Lulu will you and Susan set the timer 1 hour at the clock and tell my sisters to set the traps for me please," she grinned.

"Of course Mione," Luna smiled knowing what she's thinking as she mumbled a spell to set up the traps while Ariel and Aqua did the others side of the maze while Susan set the timer for about an hour which was one of the biggest mazes bigger than the one last year in their 4th year before they lost Cedric Diggory at the tournament except it wasn't a death trap well. "Everything's all set Mione," Susan announced grinning at her best friend, "Thanks guys— I appreciate the help Twix" Hermione smirked setting herself on the starting line "Let's see if you can beat my record then we'll talk," she grinned "Ariel, Aqua can you set up the hard obstacles please," she explained; Aqua obviously heard this mumbling a few spells setting it up giving a wink to her sister causing Hermione to grin "You better stand back a few feet Ron this might be a little messy," she warned her friend. "Fine," Ron huffed as he was a bit curious how his best friend going to beat that record under an hour. He and Harry sat down on the bleachers in the front watching along with the rest of their classmates while Susan set the time about to raise the flag "Ready Mione?" Susan asked "Good luck Mione,"

"Thanks and I'm always ready Twix," Hermione smirked waiting for Susan to raise the flag on a go. "On my count 3… 2… 1… go," Susan gave the signal by pressing the bell where Hermione starts to run through the obstacle courses where there was a wide screen in the background watching her pass each turn, dodging every weapon that threw her way while she gave a few backflips, side flips then a few jumps, climbed up the wall—everyone, who was watching had their jaws dropped through the big screen in shock the timer was now 5 minutes 45 seconds so far and she was already half way done she had to go through the steep mountains which was muddy— then there's another mountain which was snow then climbed another wall in a faster pace than crawls under the spiral on the hurdles where they saw multiple death eaters dummies which she gave defense spells which blew them up causing Harry and Ron eyes to widen in shock then did another few back flips with a triple double twist then climbed another highest wall which there was no rope or anything but, grabbed a vine from the trees and did a huge swing over the wall and jumped to her spot steadying her feet then kicked a few dummies in the way, did a backward flips along the way then climbed another wall despite the huge rocks coming her way which she used her wand by using 'Stupefy' sometimes 'Bombarda' which blew up the rocks; again everyone jaws were in shock apparently she's half way done while others gape at the girl seeing how fast she was going "There's no way she'll finish on time under an hour," Pansy sneered at this. Hannah however felt offended wanting to defend her best friend "I'll like to see you try that hardcore training Parkinson," Hannah sneered at her "I bet you can't even beat her since she's been learning how to defend herself since she was 5 years old while the rest of us barley learning this stuff both muggle and wizard form," she explained.

"Oh yeah we'll see about that once she's done I'll beat that mud— "Pansy stopped noticing Ariel and Aqua's 'I dare you to say that 'M' word in front of us Slytherin' dark expression with a sneer then grumbled under her breath by huffing at this. Daphne just patted her on the back knowing how she felt "Whoa look at Mione go!" Dean jumped screaming in excitement "GO MIONE! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" by all the Gryffindor's cheering her on. By the time Hermione reached the finish line "And done!" Susan announced causing everyone to cheer for the Gryffindor Princess looking down at the time. Hermione however grabbed a towel to wipe herself off and drank her water "Twix what's my time?" she asked as if it was normal for her.

"12 minutes and 22 seconds that's even better than your brother Max— "Susan squealed hugging her best friend besides Hannah of course "Eh it was nothing I haven't done before Twix," Hermione shrugged.

Draco Malfoy looked dumbfounded by the record and cleared his throat that left everyone to look at him "I have to say Granger that was— "he stopped noticing Hermione, Ariel and Aqua raising their eyebrows at him "That was pretty impressive especially how you handled that," he replied. Hermione shrugged her shoulders wiping herself off with her towel not noticing that all the boys in the room were now noticing her outfit; she was wearing a sports bra which was mixed colors of blue and purple, her belly button was revealed with a tattoo on her lower back a shooting star with small stars at the end and had shorts on that showed her tone legs that most of the guys were checking her out especially Ron as he couldn't help himself "Thanks Malfoy…" she replied.

Harry mumbles under his breath coughing awkwardly trying not to check her out "Wow Mione that was good remind me to never underestimate you ever again," he grinned. Hermione gave a 'hum' sound "Trust me Harry no one does considering I'm 2nd leader of this group considering my siblings taught me everything they know which is one of the reasons why I'm showing everyone hand to hand combat during training and it won't be easy because I'm one of the tough leaders with the most intense hardcore training known to man," she grinned almost scary that left the others to shiver at her expression.

"Well, well, well look at you trying to beat my own record— "an unknown voice that left everyone to grew tense whipping their wands around "I have to say I'm impress 'Fire; I guess it's a family gene to be competitive towards others," he answered; Max Granger was leaning against the wall watching the scene chuckling under his breath knowing his sister "Who's there?" Hermione demanded scanning around; another person snorted leaning against the wall.

"Now I'm just offended and hurt that you wouldn't recognize my own voice considering we raised you since you were a little baby bumblebee," another unknown voice drawled a comment.

Hermione widen her eyes 'Bumblebee, Fire' there were a few people who calls her that; she looked up to see her elder's brothers Zane, Klaus (Nik), and Max grinning from the walls and jumped to the ground to reveal themselves "Well are you going to stand there and gape at us like a fish or do we get a hug baby girl?" Roman grinned.

"BIG BROTHER?!" Hermione squealed running to her brothers who Zane caught her first by twirling her around first then passed to Klaus who threw her up high and twirled her around then Roman who spun her around and passed to Max who did all three causing her to laugh out loud "What are you guys doing here?" she asked.

"We're here to help you train in battle cookie," Klaus replied.

"Yo-y-y-y-y-y-you're going to help battle in the war," Hermione squeaked causing her brothers to nod in agreement pausing for a moment steadying her breath "Where are Elias and Evie or your families?" she asked feeling a little conflicted that her elder siblings are helping training for the upcoming war.

"They're in grandpa and grandma's house in Tokyo safe and sound we made sure to put the best protection wards around the house so no one knows where it is except our family—"Max paused for a moment then clapped his hands grinning scanning around noticing everyone had wary looks "Now then let's start training since we got a long way to go if we're going to beat this bastard shall we let's see here—"he scanned around the room "Neville I want you and Luna to start first against each other and go from there okay," he explained.

"Right," Neville replied as he and Luna started to get in position as they started attacking each other thru defense spells along with combat moves leaving Max to nod "Good jobs guys, and Luna make sure you don't get distracted and you'll be able to be in the same level as Mia okay," leaving her to nod at this as he continued to talk "Let's see... you there with the silent type person you can go against cookie," he answered.

"Who me?" Theo points at himself.

"No the other guy," Max shakes his head.

"Me?" Blaise comments in surprise.

"Yes you, you're going against cookie," Max comments.

"Maxxxxy," Hermione complained that you would hear Roman tutted wagging his finger towards his sister

"Ah, ah, ah you know rules Mya no favoritism," Roman grinned knowing this would annoy their sister "Fine but, in case you haven't noticed that's Zabini— and that's Nott— "Hermione huffs putting her hair up "Do you want me to go against them or one at the time since we need the practice we can get if we're going to win this war," she explained.

"I was just thinking the same thing— "Max grinned "I also think we're going to need to mix it up a bit Nik why don't you train that half of the room while I do this part then Ryo you and Zane can watch see what we need to practice on—Malfoy, you, Zabini and Nott are going against my little sister if you can beat her first maybe we'll considering helping you lot," he explained.

"Fine— "Hermione huffed turning to Blaise, Draco and Theo who gaped at them like a fish "Well are you going to stand there and gape at me like a fish or are we going to battle Malfoy, Zabini, Nott— "she then grinned evilly "Let the games begin?" she smirked.

Blaise raised his eyebrow taking off his shirt revealing his 8-pack chest causing the girls to squeal well mostly Lavender and Parvati while Hermione raised her eyebrow at him "What?" he asked innocently "It's a bit hot in here—I was just waiting for you to start Granger— "he smirked "Ladies first?" he offered which left her to roll her eyes.

"Well aren't you gentleman?" Hermione snorted.

"For you always Cara Mia," Blaise smirked "By the way I love your outfit," which left her to blush which made Blaise smirked more but, unfortunately Hermione's older brother Zane didn't like it. "Oii Zabini don't you flirt with my sister," Zane demanded about to stomp over but, was held back by Ariel and Aqua as they both dragged their elder brother after he was threatening to kill the boy while Hermione pinched her nose knowing her older brother "Ignore him and hit me with your best shot boys especially you Malfoy," Hermione grinned.

"Oh believe me Granger I will—" Draco smirked as he and Theo prepared themselves with Blaise against her in the middle of the ring for battle training "And don't even think of holding b—" he was cut off by Hermione by doing one of her fast signature moves by kicking him by the leg that left Draco fell backwards with a loud 'thump' causing him to blink his eyes dumbly as she flipped her hair over her shoulder "Wouldn't dream of it Malfoy—first lesson of the day never get distracted against the enemy you'll end up dead within 2 seconds flat," she grinned "Your move boys?" that left Blaise, Theo and Draco fight against Hermione; Blaise went first hand to hand combat which Hermione did her signature triple double twist and bam Blaise fell flat on the floor with a blank look groaning in pain then Draco went next however when he thought he got the upper hand this was when Hermione did another signature move which was a back flip double twist and bam Draco fell flat next to Blaise groaning in pain lastly it was Theo who flipped Hermione over but, instead of falling she rolled over to the floor and did another signature move which cause Hermione to jump in the air with a double triple twist and high kick against Theo who fell flat against his two friends 12x groaning in defeat which took nearly an hour as all three Slytherins princes groaned in defeat. Hermione tutted her head in disappointment.

"Really guys is that all you got," Hermione taunted them causing Draco to growl in frustration by turning her over while Theo and Blaise fell flat on the floor; Draco was now left in the ring which cause her to say 'oomph' grinning at her "Oh I wouldn't go that far Granger since I'm just getting started and I'm going to beat you even if it kills me," as they continued to roll over multiply of times from the past half hour with a couple of combat moves along the way and once again she used her signature move when Draco thought he got the upper hand like Blaise and Theo before him except when Hermione did a slide kick causing him to fall flat on the floor not matter how many times he tried to beat her he would always end up falling flat groaning in pain. Poor Draco, poor Blaise, poor Theo neither of them didn't see it coming "Damn it Granger, how did you do that every time!" he exclaimed huffed at this.

Hermione chuckled "Sorry Malfoy that's my dirty little secret," she buffed her nails against her tang top "Wow I'm just on a roll today beating all sorts of Slytherins who's next?" she smirked causing the Gryffindor's to snicker as for Draco he just groaned in pain and helped him up which he accepted her hand that left her brothers to chuckle "I hate to admit this but, you were really good back there Granger," Theo murmured after she thanked him they continued to train for the upcoming war. That same year they were all forced to leave in their sixth-year summer when Voldemort began to move and Hogwarts was now shut down to keep the kids safe. That was a little over a year ago and things have begun to get chaotic. Not only that were death eaters attacking muggles and muggleborn people but, they were looking for the order members and new recruits for their army, Voldemort was not only looking to take over Britain but, with it his central empire as he took over all magical areas. Knowing this, many of the order members have been send around the world for help from both wizards and witches as well as magical creatures to help.

Hermione was effected by a lot of things. Not only her school life but, family as well. It hurts her to remember that she oblivated her parents along with her siblings who went to help. Thanks to her elder sisters Ariel and Aqua they grabbed the twins Elias and Evie into hiding that left her heartbroken as she needed them safe away from this war. She didn't want to risk losing her entire family because of this. She was also tangled with a few death eaters throughout the year to protect allies and innocent people. Not only that but, she became friends with not only Blaise and Theo but, Draco as well including Pansy despite how they're total opposites of each other. It shocked a lot of people but, after a while they've became a lot of civil gestures to one another, they began to get used to everyone and become more open and friendly to each other. Ron and Ginny of course had the biggest problem with it but, mostly Ron though who still haven't agreed for them joining their side, even though it's been a year.

Hermione and Ron's relationship also changed. She realized that after being closer to Ron than just school and sleepovers at the Burrow that she wasn't in love with him. Sure, she loved him but, more of a platonic kind of way. She realizes that he was the type of person who wouldn't be able to help her get over her insecurities of fear. He didn't want a woman to stand at his side but, to be behind him catering to his every whim. A stay at home wife, always there to cook, clean, take care of the kids and depends on him for money which isn't for Hermione Granger and will never be after her brothers noticed her change of behavior no matter how much it hurts she knew deep down that she wasn't going to be a stay in the house mom she wants a career for herself and for her husband to support her which isn't like Ron. She's an independent, strong, good heart, compassionate, intelligent woman and she's going to change for some boy even if it was one of her best friends Ron.

However, her appearances have changed somewhat over the past 16 months. Her multi-brown colored hair now falls in soft curls a few inches before her waist. Through training and exercise her body became slim and tones though she's still petite in size being 5'5, while Ginny is 5'7 and Luna's 5'6. Her breast filled out to a C-cup and her hips were a good size giving her an hour glass figure. Her skin though littered with shallow cuts from previous battles and training is a healthy peach color. Her golden-brown eyes are harder now and often guarded, however around her friends and loved ones they'd soften with warmth and affection. She was currently on her way to Forks, Washington for multiple reasons.

One reason was that there were rumors that not only vampires live there but, shape shifters as well and she needed to go there to make sure Voldemort doesn't get his hands on them. A huge reason was that Voldemort has put on a personal hit on her and was trying to take her out, for he knew of her closeness involvement with Harry and normally would be the one who would help Harry foil said plans. Plus, Bellatrix (Draco's aunt) is hoping to get her hands dirty to torture her which is more worrisome than getting killed. It made her older siblings Zane, Klaus, Roman, Max, Aqua and Aries worried sick about their younger sister along with the twins (Elias, and Evie) who has no knowledge on what's going on around them except being away from their big sister Hermione which broke her heart but, knew it was necessary. So here she was needing a place to hide it was Zane's idea to suggest it which made her to agree with a bright smile on her face due to the fact she grew up there with the rest of her family.

Hermione and her family would spend every summer there until after the summer of her 2nd year. When things started getting more complicated at school for her siblings and herself while for her parents got busier with work so she hasn't been there since she was thirteen along with her siblings were a few years older than her, she's currently eighteen now. Her parents were closer to Charlie Swan, Billy Black, the Uley's and the Clearwaters so naturally for Hermione and her siblings were closest to Jacob and his sisters Rachel and Rebecca, Sam, Seth and Leah. Hermione and Sam were the first to become friends seeing as they were closet in age while her older siblings Zane being the eldest, then Klaus, Roman, Max, Aries (Ariel) and Aqua were also their friends through Hermione. Sam's the same age as the twins Ariel and Aqua so you can say most of her family were very close to one another. She soon then met Jacob and the twins Rebecca and Rachel and they would often play together along with Sam of course. Finally, she ended up meeting them Leah and Seth. At first Leah was very hostile towards Aqua, Aries and Hermione because she didn't like the closeness they had with Sam but, after Hermione explained that they're like siblings and even helped paired them up in partner games sometimes with her sisters without their knowledge, Leah could accept her and her sisters that they became an older sister to the girl. Seth on the other hand instantly like Hermione.

From when he was a baby she'd always coo and play with him to when he was a toddler by crawl or walk towards her to when he was a small child and clung to her not wanting to let her go. However, she didn't mind however and enjoyed playing with him and reading to him when it was his nap time. Whenever she was with her friends, Seth was bound to be near and the adults would just laugh and cooed at them taking tons of pictures. However, her older siblings knew how close they were so they weren't a bit surprise by this. Hermione also met Bella Swan because her parents were friends with Charlie. The two girls could often be food in a room reading together, drawing, performing a play for the adults to watch or just talking about school. They also shared common interest their love of books and school and enjoyed chatting with one another. Of course, with their other friends and her siblings (Sam, Rachel, Rebecca, Jacob, Leah, Seth, Zane, Klaus, Roman, Max, Aries (Ariel) and Aquarius (Aqua) wouldn't allow them to read long because they were 'normal' kids who loved to cause mischief especially Aries and Aqua and play outside. They were practically best friends really. Though for Bella she couldn't leave her house often but, was still able to play with them and when her father wanted her home Hermione would make sure to stay to keep them company with her siblings of course.

By the time she came out of her memories, she already left the airport and was near the car dealership. Her parents, being dentist were well off giving their children anything they needed and her grandparents lived on the richer side of life so money wasn't an issue. But, Hermione or her siblings weren't spoiled because all they needed was her books and friends in Forks and LaPush. She left the dealership in her black with purple stripes on the side Chrysler 300. She was on her way to her new house that was purchased by her siblings Zane, Klaus, Roman, Max, Aries (Ariel) and Aquarius (Aqua) along with Narcissa, her husband Lucius and Sirius who insisted to buy a house in La Push that was two miles from town near a few other houses. The outside walls were baby blue, with a black roof. It was a two-story house with a black gate and a decent side backyard and lawn. Once she got inside she immediately began putting up wards, when that was done she enlarged her bags that were in her pocket (she carried a duffle bag to not look suspicious or weird) She cast a wordless spell, sending her things up to her room when they would unpack themselves, while she looked around the house. It was already furnished and comfy thanks to her sisters Aries and Aqua who are both interior designing so it wasn't a problem for them to design this for their sister. To the right was the living room. The floor was a soft snowy white plush carpet. It was paired with a velvety red couch and love seat as well as black leather recliner. The three tables were made of glass with black legs and on the long table in front of the couch, sat a glass candy dish full of treats which she immediately grabbed one to try out "Yum my favorite," Hermione thought to herself "I wonder what else they added?" she quickly added.

She continued to look around there was also a large book case already filled with some of her books and a decent sized fire place. On a short rectangular stand sat a large flat screen T.V. as well as a DVD/Blue ray player and stereo full of moves and a few video games that her brothers purchased since she's a huge fan of video games much to everyone's shock since they weren't aware of this. To the left into a door like entrance way, was a dining room connected to the kitchen, which were separated by the granite island. The table was mahogany wood, while the floors were tiled with a color of mixed pink, cream and brown matching the island in some ways. The kitchen was a nice size, complete with extra household appliances and full stocked with food. She walked past the staircase and was met with six doors, one on each wall. To her left was a medium size bathroom with a shower and bathtub, toilet, a huge size mirror and two sinks. To her right were two guest rooms for when someone stayed over. And straight ahead was the door that lead to her veranda and backyard that has a swimming pool that's connected to the Jacuzzi which she kept grinning that she couldn't wait to go swimming in. She walked up to the wooden stair case holding onto the black railing that was connected to the small balcony and ended up against the wall. One the second floor there was a small circular wooden table with a vase full of flowers she saw the note which was from her big brother "Hey cookie hope you don't mind but, I added flowers as a nice touch call me when you land, miss you already your big brother Zane," leaving her to smile. She made a mental note to call Zane and her siblings before she meets up with her friends and uncles later. There was also a window at the end and seating area under it. To her right were two doors, one lead to the second guest bedroom and a bigger bathroom with sliding glass walls instead of a curtain. The tail floor was black and white like the other bathroom but, the walls were in ocean blue while there was a large navy blue rug in the middle with a towel rack against the wall. To the left was a door leading to her bathroom that had small designs of stars she had a feeling it was Aqua's doing since she knew that she likes to go star gazing at night.

The bathroom was also large with a separate shower and bath with mix colors of purple here and there. Next to the bathroom door were two bean bag chairs one was blue and purple (her favorite colors) she has two black wood dressers with a mirror, a matching chest, large book shelves full of books and a night stand shaped as a moon that when you turn it on you can see stars full the room that left her to squeal in delight. Her sisters thought of everything. To her right was a desk and her walk-in closet showing off all her clothes, though there was still room for more. There was also a small two-person white cushion bench in the middle, along with a full body-length mirror, behind it against the wall. The closet also had a shoe rack showing off her heels, boots, flats, sneakers, flip-flips and sandals. She went into her living room and sat on the extremely comfortable couch and sighed happily. So much was going on with Voldemort moving already, his numbers increasing more than expected and now her going into hiding was probably the hardest because her youngest siblings (Elias, Rocco & Rocky) are now with her siblings in Japan safe but, that doesn't mean she didn't agree to it. She wished she was with her babies but, she knew she'll see them soon ... Only a select people know where she was including her family because there has been talk of a traitor inside the house and she didn't want the traitor informing Voldemort and sending his followers into this peaceful place with do many of her love ones.

Although she didn't like the fact that she left because for one she didn't want to leave her youngest siblings but, Zane insisted because they will be with him and by the end of the week Elias and Evie will be with reunited with her soon when Zane deal with the paper work because it won't be long till they move there too while at the same time she knew it was necessary and that she could still be productive by recruiting more allies. She wished she didn't have to involve them though however when Voldemort began recruiting other magical creatures as well expanding his army into other countries not far from England, they knew that he wasn't just taking over the wizard world but, all magical worlds which was the last thing she and her friends wanted which was why they are also gathering allies as well without his consent. Knowing this Hermione also knew that he would kill the wolves, or make them servants because they would be thought as muggleborns who didn't deserve their power. She closed her eyes and thought of her childhood friends on the Rez and the Swans and finally worked up the nerve to call her big brother Zane. Ring, ring, ring. "Talk to me?"

"Hey Zaney,"

"Mya" Zane rapidly got up hearing shuffling sounds in the background "Are you alright?" he asked in low tones. Hermione held her breath "I'm fine I just wanted to let you know that I made it safely in Forks big brother," she whispered. "Oh," Zane says sighing in a relief "I'm glad that you made it there okay. I was beginning to get worried but, you can't be too careful…did you manage to talk to uncle Billy or uncle Charlie yet?" he asked.

"Not yet but, I'm going to talk to uncle Billy very soon …how are the twins doing?" Hermione answered. Zane looked around not wanting to be heard "Their doing well they just miss you including Teddy with the rest of the kids. He misses you they all miss their aunt Minnie," he whispered. Hermione covered her mouth trying not to cry knowing her godson, youngest siblings, along with her nephews and nieces needed her "I miss them too. Does anyone else know where I am besides you lot?" she asked.

"No as far as anyone knows you're in hiding except our family, Harry, Luna, Draco, Blaise, Remus, Sirius, Tonks, Kingsley, Draco's parents and Tonks parents," Zane explained. Hermione nodded knowing this as she's very close with most of them anyway "Good… good…" she then looked around the room "The less people that know the better, right?" she asked.

Zane gave a smile "Exactly… so how does it feel to be home after 4 ½ years?" he asked; he leaned against his chair. Hermione gave a tired sigh "Honestly I haven't got a chance to feel like it's home yet big brother but, I also wanted to thank you…" she whispered.

"For what cookie?" Zane asked all confuse. Hermione gave a sad smile "For being there when I needed you, Nik, Ryo and Max including Ariel and Aqua… and I love the flowers they're beautiful they remind me of mum," she whispered. Zane gave a smile "Of course you're always my baby girl besides our sisters, we just want you to be safe and I know you didn't want to agree to be away from Harry but, it was necessary considering you know Sam better than anyone; we figured it would be easier if you told him the truth on what's happening outside of Forks… it was Ariel's idea…" he explained.

Hermione held her breath "I know… tell her thank you for me will you…" she paused for a moment looking around the house once more "Well I should get going… I just wanted to give you heads up that's all … I'll call you when I get settled here," she whispered. Zane nodded at this not wanting to be away for too long "Of course and 'Fire be careful—I know the Cullens… they have magical powers… especially that Edward bloke…and be sure your shields are up when he tries to read your mind he's very—sneaky like that if you catch my drift," he explained.

Hermione nodded "I will and I love you big brother send everyone my love will you," she whispered. Zane smiled "You know I will and I love you too kiddo see you soon okay cookie," he whispered. Hermione nodded in agreement "Okay I'll call you later," she whispered. Zane smiled "And I'll be here when you do and don't forget to keep your wand and the two-sided mirror with you all times and stay safe kiddo," he answered.

"Of course you guys stay safe too… bye…" Hermione whispered. After they exchange 'bye' to one another she closed her eyes feeling her heart beating faster, this was going to be harder than she thought. It took a while for her to finally work up the nerve to call her uncle Billy. Ring, ring. ring. "Hello?"

"Hello, uncle Billy?"

"…. Who is this…" there was a hint of recognition and hope in his voice.

"It's Hermione…Hermione Granger."

"Little Mia… is that really you?" (For Hermione she has a lot of nicknames from her family and friends mostly Mia, Mya, Hell cat (from Sam), princess (from Seth), cookie (her siblings), bumblebee, beach, buttercup, baby girl, beach, Sapphire, 'Fire etc.)

Hermione giggled "Yes uncle Billy it's me," she knew he was smiling, whenever she called him uncle like she did when she was a little girl "I called because I just moved back into Forks into this baby blue house two miles from town and it's in La Push which it's perfect for me since I hardly socialize with the town folks anyway so I'm going to be staying here for a while and I maybe wanted to meet with you along with everyone else,"

"That's great," Billy beamed at this "Is the rest of the family going to be joining as well too?"

Hermione closed her eyes not wanting to give it away "Actually uncle Billy my parents won't be joining me this time since they're a bit busy in Australia with the dentistry now but, you'll be seeing Zane and my siblings soon, they all send their love" she explained.

Billy face fell but, beamed on the other line "Really I was hoping to catch up with your folks be sure to tell them I said 'hi' when you get a chance will you and of course we can meet up. Everyone will be so delighted to see you! You can come by tonight since we're having a bonfire where you can meet up with your old friends and a few new ones. The twins just came back a few days ago so you'll get to see them along with Seth, Leah, Sam and Jake where I know they're going to be so surprised to see you!"

"I'll be sure to do that uncle Billy and that's so good to know. So, when do you think I should stop by?" Hermione answered playing with her hair nervously. Her uncle Billy, her godfather was practically beaming with excitement "Seven. That should give us both enough time to get ready. I need to get the preparations for the huge cook out and get everyone there." He answered.

"It sounds like it's going to a huge party. Will uncle Charlie and Bella going to be there, I heard she moved back a while ago from what Ariel told me when she was about to visit but, got cancelled because of a family emergency," Hermione answered. Billy suddenly went silent and Hermione knew that the smile had dropped from his face as he held his breath telling her what's been happening from the past 2 years "Mia… a lot has happened since Bella moved back. She got herself a boyfriend who not only hurt her but, broke her heart… Jacob being the good friend that he is healed her that they started to hang out with one another and along the way he fell for her however one her boyfriend came back … Bella told Jacob that she didn't love him except as a friend… She practically led him on by toying with his feelings and broke his heart in the end. Your uncle Charlie and I haven't talked since that day because I didn't appreciate what she did to my boy and your uncle Charlie agreed however he didn't seem to like how I was treating Bella even though she was toyed with my son's feelings. I won't have that around my family so things have been extremely intense between your uncle Charlie and I however we made up although for Jake… he's very hurt right now …and I'm really worried about him Mia…" he sadly replied.

"Thank you for telling me, I'll be sure not to bring her name up. I had a feeling something was wrong since neither Zane nor my siblings would flinch whenever I mentioned her name… now it makes a lot of sense…" Hermione pauses for a moment making a mental note to confront Bella about this soon "I can't believe she would do that to Jake no less... Don't worry uncle Billy I'll talk to him and try to help him heal. He's always been a little brother to me and my siblings and I'm pretty sure neither of us will let him sit by wallow in self-pity," she explained. Billy smiled knowing his goddaughter "Thank you as well Little Mia. I know if anyone can help him it's you. Now no one will be expecting you when you pull up so don't be surprised by the shocked faces," he answered.

"I won't and I can't wait to see you uncle Billy," Hermione answered beaming at this. Billy however couldn't wait for this surprise "Me either kiddo. Bye, see you soon."

"Hey now I'm an adult thank you very much,"

"My mistake and see you soon Miss Mia,"

"Your impossible uncle Billy and goodbye?" her only response was a light chuckle. Billy smiled knowing his favorite god daughter would cheer up his son. That's when he saw his daughter Rachel coming out of the kitchen.

"Hey daddy," Rachel smiled "What are you grinning about?" she curiously asked.

Billy smiled "You'll find out tonight," rolling down his wheelchair to his room "Now if you excuse me I have to get ready for the huge bonfire cook out. Do you mind helping me with this sweetie," he asked?

"Sure daddy," Rachel replied.

She looked at the clock and saw it was almost four. She could work with three hours. Today was only of those days when the sun peeked through the clouds that seemed to never leave. So today was a nice warm temperature and the rest of the week would be warm too. Hermione made her way to her bathroom, stripped, and entered her shower. She sighed in content this time as the comfortable hot water hit her skin. After 30 minutes, she came out in a white fluffy towel, letting the steam clear out. She crossed her room and went into her closet. After looking for ten minutes, she decided om a blue t-shirt that says 'I Heart NY' with a light gray sweater with a werewolf shape head on the front with a matching mid-thigh shorts and black straps sandals with a medium size blue flower near her toes. She dressed and checked herself over, before walking back into the bathroom. She brushed her teeth, combed her hair, and applied a little concealer under her eyes, to hide the bags that were showing from lack of sleep. Hopefully being here would change that. She pulled her hair into a high pony tail, with a thick matching blue scrunchy, put on a few silver bangles on her right wrist and a silver watch, that had tulips carved into the metal surrounding the clock, which she got from Dean and Seamus as a birthday present a few weeks back.

She realized she still had about an hour and decided to make a cake to bring to the cookout, thinking she did not want to be rude and show up empty-handed. Ever for fourth year summer, Hermione had been practicing her cooking skills, after she tried to make lasagna and failed completely. It took a while before she got the hang of cooking, but she could do it. Her regular food always tasted good, but not spectacular, however her desserts were to die for. Hermione loved to bake sweets. She loved all the wonderful ingredients coming together in such a beautiful way, the smell of the pastries as they cooked, and the warm feeling she got when watching people's faces light up after their first bite, which was normally quickly followed by a second. Right now, she was preparing two different cakes. One was chocolate, the other vanilla. She used magic to stir one mixing bowl, while she the other, then would switch half way through until the matter was smooth, but not light. She poured them both into cooking pans, chocolate one circular, vanilla one rectangular.

While those were baking, she pulled out frosting, sprinkles, whip crème and fruits. She used magic to speed up the cooking process and noticed the time she decided to add cherry and apple scones, cupcakes and sugar cookies with a wolf head decorated with different designs on top; she had a feeling her old friends were shapeshifters but, wasn't sure so she just decorated it anyway. the chocolate cake was frosted then outline with blue frosting. Next, she added strawberries, kiwi's and slice apples on top and draw a werewolf howling at the moon and made a spiral shape as a moon out of whip crème. For the vanilla cake, she frosted it and outline with the blue icing, threw on red, green and white sprinkles and outline the sides with banana slices and apricots slices. With both cakes completed she cast a spell to the kitchen would clean itself, placed the lids on cakes, while for the scones, cookies and cupcakes were inside a pink box all set up to eat and grabbed her zebra print shoulder bag with the desserts and had a 10 minute to drive to cover so after she place a stay stuck charm on the desserts to protect them she speeds down the road. Ah she loved magic sometimes.

Once she pulled up all chatter stop and people looked at her in confusion, though they could not see her. After a quick scan, she instantly recognized her childhood friends, Uncle Billy, and Sue Clearwater, Leah and Seth's mom. She took a deep breath, grabbed the cakes, and gracefully got out of the car. When Billy saw, Hermione step out of the car he felt happy, amazed, and proud. Happy because he missed her dearly. Amazed because she changed so much from the cute girl with bushy hair and slightly bigger front teeth. And proud because from what he could tell looking at her and from his earlier conversation with her, she grew into a fine, intelligent, strong-willed, and compassionate young woman. He looked around and saw that only himself, Sue, and Sam recognized her.

When Sam saw, the person appears from the car he instantly recognized her. She was his first friend, childhood best friend and surrogate sister that he loved. No matter how much she had changed her eyes would always give her away. Though he wasn't happy to see them guarded and wary though, he was glad to see that they still held the same warmth and kindness that they had when they were little. Now he realized why Billy wanted to throw a huge cook out and he can say he's extremely glad for that. He looked around and saw only Sue along with himself, Rachel and Rebecca who recognized her but, then when he saw Seth he nearly did a double take and nearly fell off his chair. He knew that look after all he had the same look when he saw Emily… and just hope that Seth would be able to win her over…then he made a horror realization if Leah told Hermione the truth between them he can imagine she won't be happy and if that happen, he paled even more; Sam was practically freaking out inside.

'Awe shit…' he thought to himself knowing he won't hear the end of it 'Hell cat is going to kill me no she'll murder me when she learns the truth between Lee-Lee and I'

When Seth saw, the figure emerges from the car he was confused and shocked. Confused because some stranger pull up in the middle of their spontaneous picnic and shock because of how beautiful she looked. However, when their eyes connected, his whole world melted away, it was only her and himself. She stood there looking radiant in all her glory and he almost felt unworthy. He knew at that moment; he would protect her until his last breath and he would always make sure she was happy and that the warm burning fire in her eyes never went out. After a minute the world appeared again and he realized what just happened

'Oh Fuck' he thought to himself.

"Hermione…" whispered Sam grinning "Hermione Granger" he says loudly this time grinning with a huge smile on his face.

The girl smiled "Long time no see Sammy boy,"

Many adults and a few others along with himself nearly fell while others bugged out in shock as their eyes widen in recognition.

'Awe man… double fuck…' Seth thought to himself putting his hands over his head.
