Bingo Description: (Character) – Hermione
Hermione's eyes lifted from the pinic table top, and up to the brown eyes of a man whom she hadn't seen in over sixteen years ago. "Hello FP." She tiredly spoke.
"At least you remember my name." FP tightly nodded as he jammed his hands deep into his jeans pockets.
"There is nothing that I can say to reapaire the damage that I caused over the years." Hermione shook her head. "Not with you."
"Glad to see that you remain the same." FP laughed humorlessly. "Now that Hiram is behind bars … I think I must take his orders from you." His chest tightened even more.
Hermione shook her head. "No. I'm not going to deliever any of Hiram messages for the Serpents." Her back stiffen. "I don't want Veronica involved at all."
FP shook his head as he sat across from her. "Not possible in this town; Hermione. After all your daughter is all ready very close to Betty Cooper."
Hermione's eyes softened. "Alice still tightly involved?" She asked in a tight voice.
FP smirked. "What do you think 'Mione?"
"You realize now that Hiram is behind the bars … the Serpents are out to take control. That means they are going to go after the Cooper children and your children." Hermione's gut tightened. "They will even come after Veronica."
"The kids will be strong enough to protect each other. We will protect them." FP nodded as he had made sure his voice lowered even more than before. After all he had remained in Riverdale when Hermione left … he knew that the town had ears everywhere.
"I shouldn't have come back." Hermione's worried eyes met his. "But I had no where else to go to. There was no other place that I could keep Veronica safe … the Pembroke is the only thing that is left in my name …. through my own family."
FP sighed. "At least here you know you have people whom will protect you with their lives."
Hermione swallowed. "I don't deserve it."
FP softly smiled. "I'm glad you came home 'Mione."
Hermione lowered her eyes before the tears could fall. She looked back up into his steady eyes. "I am too." She finally husked out.
