Hermione stood in Grimmauld place kitchen with Harry and Ron reading the first of two letters which had been delivered with a package from the ministry. Opening the letter she began to read it out loud to Ron and Harry. It read:
Dear Miss Hermione Granger. In your other letter you will find information pertaining to a new marriage law that has been announced with the name of your partner inside. However on checking the status of all those affected we ran a check on you as is standard procedure. While running this check we found that your data as entered into our system upon your birth did not match what we already know about you as relayed to us by either Professor Dumbledore or yourself. This means that for whatever reason before they died your parents were using a glamour charm on you meaning that yourself and all those around you would believe you were muggle born and looked as you do now. Your name is still Hermione Granger though and we have supplied a potion that you are to drink in order to be and look as you should have all along. You are a rich pureblood and have your own manor in Kent. You are twenty years old and you still retain the name you've always had. We wanted also to inform Mr Harry Potter of the capture and death of Peter Pettigrew who once under the veritas serum charm told us all we needed to know. We have formerly cleared Sirius Black of all charges and although he is no longer with us we wanted to bring closure to young Mr Potter. We hope this letter finds you well and wish you the best of luck in your life.
Yours sincerely Mafalda Hopkirk, Department of Heritage, the Ministry of Magic.
As Hermione finished reading the letter aloud both Ron and Harry were staring at her gormlessly not even sure of what to do or think. "Well Mione take the potion. We'll always be here for you no matter how you look!" said Ron hugging her and comforting her. She unwrapped the package to find a small vial full of pearly liquid. "Ron call your parents here as I want them to be here when I change" she demanded to which he complied. Moments later they came through the fireplace to watch her transformation. As she uncorked the bottle she downed its contents. It tasted bloody awful and as she swallowed it all a bright light formed all around her body blinding everyone momentarily. When the light faded away everyone gasped. She now stood taller at five ft nine inches in height. Her body shape had gone from shapeless with a flat chest to hour glass with a size c chest. Her hair had gone from dark blonde and bushy with no control to light brown, smooth, sleek and straight. Her teeth were now pearly white and very straight in comparison with her usual bucked teeth.
She looked radiant. She was now wearing a one armed long sleeved black knee length dress with some black pumps. Her hair was half up half down and bouffant in style on top. She had a black Kelly bag with a colourful scarf on one end of it in her hands. She sauntered over to the downstairs mirror gasping. She did look different. Mrs Weasley hugged her tight and smiled at her encouraging her to open the other letter.
"Molly what is a family home witch? They say I must come to the Ministry for a special appointment and that I am a family home witch." "Well I am delighted that they have freed Sirius of all charges and killed Peter. A family home witch is a witch who is now and always has been destined to have more then one husband serving that family as the witch or bonding unit that keeps that particular family alive and together. It is an honour to be one of those. I can safely say that because it says you need to come in for a special appointment it means that either your husbands are famous or back from the dead which is what that phrase always means. Come on I'll escort you there now!" said Molly as they stepped into the fireplace leaving immediately.
More then one husband? Hermione was baffled! How in the hell could this be ok? She arrived in a cushy looking office and approached the desk with Molly who asked to see the person in charge there Brian Huntington. Once they saw him he explained the process to Hermione. "Ok what will happen is you will read the following Italian phrase and once you are done you will be married. Your husbands will then be waiting for us in the department of Mysteries ok?" he asked looking her over. "Yes that sounds wonderful!" she replied still confused. She had thought that if she acted bravely and confidently it would all eventually make sense to her. At least that's what she hoped. She removed the bow from the scroll he had given her and read aloud the phrase there which said: Invito il hosue di nero per inviare a me members tutti i buoni attraverso il velo inmodo che noi possiamo sposare e vivere in armonia tutte le vite. Sono così ci saremosposati una volta finite questa affernazione. After reading this phrase the scroll lit up and all of the words disappeared. In it's place was the number four. "It says here the number four. What does that mean sir?" she asked him politely. "That means you have four husbands mam and that you are all now married. They will be waiting for you in the department of mysteries. I have to ask you would you like me to inform you of who they are or would you rather the surprise?" he asked her smiling.
"Absolutely not! I've had more then my fair share of surprises to last me a lifetime who are they if you please?" "Ok well first you should know that they are all a certain age which does not mean they will be the age they were when they died. However despite there age change they will have lost no memories of how their life was. It just means that your husbands will be closer in age to you alright. Your first husband is Cygnus Black. He is twenty eight years old. Your second husband and twin of Cygnus is Orion Black and he is also twenty eight years old. Your third husband is Regulus Black and he is twenty five years old. Your fourth and final husband is Sirius Black and he is twenty two years of age. They will all look different to you and everyone else but as they are now alive and bonded to you they shall start to grow and age normally again but are now immune to the killing curse as are you now because you are bonded with them."
By the time he had finished Molly looked extremely delighted. "Wow Hermione not only are you now pureblood anyway but you are the most desirable young lady out there. And those husbands of yours are and were the most desirable men of their time. You are one lucky girl" Molly gushed ushering them out of the room quickly. "Molly how will I control four husbands and how will we live in Grimmauld Place? It's not that large really" she asked concern etched on her face. "Hermione dear Grimmauld Place was left to Harry upon Sirius's death and he shall be keeping it. They will probably be moving into Black Manor in Kent quite near your own recently acquired manor if I'm not mistaken. Don't worry about a thing and may I say that weekly schedules help. I am just trying to say without embarrassing you too much dear that each man needs his personal night for intimacy as do you. And also you will need your nights off as well that don't include cycle nights as you will have those off anyway. We all need our time off every now and again or we'd all go mad" said Molly blushing a little bit herself.
"Thank you for that information Molly and don't worry so much. I'm not as I used to be. I feel that my personality was changed too. I mean I love flying now and who'd have thought of that. Since my own mother died you are like my mother and nothing you say could ever embarrass me. I am lucky to have you mum!" said Hermione causing Mrs Weasley to burst into a fit if happy tears. With a wave of her wand she was now wearing some knee high black boots with a red medium length flowing dress with sleeves over it. She had on some silver dangling earrings and heart shaped pendant around her neck. She was still carrying her black Kelly bag and now had on a long black princess jacket over the dress. Molly had never seen her look so business ready and was in awe of her beauty. She had on light make up and her straight hair was now all up in a cool twisted ponytail which made it seem as though the ponytail itself was inside out.
She dropped Molly at the fireplace so she could return home once more and then made her way to the Department of Mysteries. There before her stood four of the sexiest men she has ever seen with each man having muscles and shaggy hair. Both Cygnus and Orion were tall and muscular with brown shaggy hair and the most beautiful blue eyes she'd ever seen. Cygnus was in a tight white tank top with a grey blazer over it. He was wearing some deep blue chords and boat shoes on his lower half while his wand was neatly stored in his pocket.
Orion was wearing a smart looking pair of jeans with some black loafers and a shirt/ blazer combo on top. Regulus had long and shaggy dark blonde hair just as his mother had before him. He had green eyes. He was wearing a black business style pants with a peacoat over it. inside the coat you could visibly see a shirt and tie. Lastly there was Sirius who may well have been the best looking of all of the men. His hair was dark brown and shaggy and he had the sexy goatee as he'd always done. However now he was wearing a tight pair of jeans and a maroon t shirt with a black cape on over that instead of his usual corduroy suit. He was wearing a pair of common black converse styled shoes. The top he had on showed off all of his muscles
She was salivating looking at them. "Gentlemen I am Hermione Granger and I am to be the family home witch of all of you. Now Sirius here knew me before but what he will not now know is that I had for some unknown reason been under a glamour charm before my parents died. It was only just reversed today. I am pureblood with my own manor and I am twenty years old. There is an ongoing marriage law in which people between the ages of eighteen to forty are being paired off. It is through the selection process that they discovered not only about my hidden glamour charm all of my life but the new status as the Black family home witch so here I am. I just thought you should all know that" she said smiling nervously at all of them. "Oh my god do you think we are all old prudes? Please the term wife will suffice none of this old fashioned family home witch thing. It's making me feel old! I am Regulus and it is my honour to have such a gorgeous wife. You can call me Reg or even Reggie if you like" he said grabbing her hand and kissing the top of it in a gentlemanly manner which made her blush.
"Why thank you Reg and I must say I know all of your names but in order to remember them all I have shortened them for myself. You can all call me Mione if you like as it's what everyone calls me these days. I have decided to call Regulus Reg. Sirius will just be Sirius still. Cygnus will be Cyg and Orion will just be Ry. I hope those are ok with you all?" she asked. "Yes they are for definite ok with us. Which house were you in at Hogwarts?" asked Cygnus smiling. "I was in Hufflepuff" she announced proudly and watched the colour drain from his face as Sirius burst out laughing beside him. "Quite the joker this one" he said still laughing. "Cyg I was only joking, I was in fact in Gryffindor" she said now giggling as he picked her up and pecked her lips softly. "That's quite alright. I love jokes when they come from the sexy lips of a sexy witch I get to call my wife. I think boys I may have to spend time with her first Mmm" he moaned as he ground into her hip slightly to show how excited she made him.
This made her subconsciously moan herself. "Now, now boys no fighting over me. We will have a schedule to which each of you will comply. Each boy gets his days and nights with me and some nights are for just me alone and I expect you respect my privacy on the nights I wish to be alone. Bare in mind however depending on how I'm feeling these alone nights may be rare as I may want a teddy bear to hold sometimes at night. I wonder which one of you would make the best one?" she asked teasing them. "Pick me" Orion said finally speaking. She smiled and leaned in kissing him gently. "Come on boys I believe we have a manor to go and see!" she said leading them through the Ministry proudly towards the fireplaces. This is going to be interesting! She thought linking her husbands and smiling at everyone they passed.
