Prolog

The sickly clean stench could be smelt anywhere. They were in the hospital after all, what could you expect. The halls were busy with the Hub-bub of patients and doctors traveling the halls. Everything was like any normal day, except for the 29 year old woman and the baby girl. Even though they looked normal nothing was going to be the same for them within the next few hours. Sitting in her hospital bed in room A208 in the maternity ward Sue Clearwater gazed down at her baby girl, she was middle aged and had possibly had this baby from an affair but she loved her daughter.

Tears spilled from warm brown eyes and down tan cheeks while the mental count down haunted her. The deal she had made with her father was if he didn't tell Harry about the accident then she would put her baby up for adoption. She couldn't risk uprooting Leah from her father and she knew that it would happen if he found out.

The baby had a cap of silky carmel curls and her mother's eyes. A small button nose sat in the middle of her face and a soft sprinkle of freckles covered her cheeks. Her little mouth was stretched into a wide gummy smile aimed at her mother laughing periodically while one of her tiny fists was curled around one of her mother's fingers waving it around.

Another woman sat with her looking sadly at her friend and her daughter. Laila Wisely nee Swan had known her friend since early childhood and so knew how much this was hurting her. Looking at the baby girl in Sue's arms she memorized every detail swearing to herself that if she ever ran into her friends daughter she'd protect the girl with her life just like she would for her two month old baby Lily. The door opened and the nurse came in and stood next to Sue silently waiting for her to say her good-byes to her daughter. Stifling a sob Sue bent and placed a gentle kiss on her baby's forehead; a lone tear slipped from her eye, slid down her cheek and landed on her daughters rosy ones, she whispered, "I love you Hermione."
