Disclaimer: I do not own the characters.
A/N: But I do own 'Jane G.' who is, for the sake of this story and for the lack of a name, Hermione's mother. Definitely an AU story.
The Perfect Plan
: Chapter 1 :
Six years after Hogwarts. . .
I've been working at the Daily Prophet as a columnist in the editorial/opinion section for almost three years. I enjoyed my work so much I sometimes spend late nights in the office or even sleep there till morning, doing the finishing touches to my articles.
I got off from work earlier than expected which was favorable to me since mom called earlier that day to remind me of our dinner for the reason that she had something important to tell me. I noticed lately that she's happy, humming while she cooks or just simply smiling for no reason, her smile always visible in her pretty face. And it made me happy as well for I've never seen my mother this happy.
Tonight, feeling a bit tired and sleepy, I came home quietly as I used to do, not making as much sound as possible. I closed the door lightly behind me and was to head towards the stairs that leads to my room so I could put my things and in order to do that automatic task, I would have to pass the living room. And that's when it happened. I stopped dead on my tracks.
. . .for the reason that I saw something disturbing.
How do you think I've reacted when I saw my mother snogging someone in our living room? I didn't know what to do or feel yet. Though it was a funny sight you see because I've been hoping my mother would fall in love again, marry and be happy. For one, I know she wouldn't go around snogging someone if she's not in love with him. I was about to smile at what I saw and the conclusions I have drawn when I felt my stomach tighten, my knees weaken, and my lipstick-stained lips slightly opened in shock.
Wait, hold on a minute. . .that hair. . .that length of a familiar striking blonde hair seemed familiar…almost six years ago…but no, it can't be. Then it dawned on me.
A/N: well, that's a start, what do you think?
