July 7, Hermione Ann Zambini Snape was born, 7 pounds 10 ouces. With curly dark brown hair and bright brown and green eyes. Just like her mother she would be beautiful and the smartest witch of her age, she had her mothers talent and looks as well as her fathers skills with potions and spells. As she grew up she was given everything a young girl could ever hope or dream of having. Nice clothes, expensive brooms, and a loving family. Because of her mother growing up with muggles and magical children, Hermione was able to experience every kind of life style their was. She had muggle friends aswell as magical, and went to a muggle school until she was eleven and recived her letter from Beaubaxtons. From their she began her studies and instantly became the brightest student in the school. But when she was thirteen tradgey and death struck the happy family of 56 Birminghamshire court.
Hermiones mother unknown to anyone even herself had cancer, and it was slowly killing her. On the day she was returning home for winter vacation Hermione flooed home to find her mother dead on the living room couch. Her father was at work teaching at school and would not be home till later, and thats whats Severus found when he flooed into the house. Jasmin his wife dead on the couch and Hermione no where to be found. Quickly flooing for St. Mungos in hope is wasnt to late for his wife he charged up the stairs to Hermiones room to find her bent over a cauldron throwing different ingrediants into it. Hearing her speaking feverish latin he knew what she as trying to do. Grabbing her before she added the last ingredient she fought against him. Yelling and screaming followed by hysterical crying that could be heard throughout the house. She was trying to raise her mother from the dead using an old dark magic potions book they had in the house. But what Hermione didnt know was in raising her mother from the dead the potion would take her life as payment, or equal exchange. It was the alchemist code a life for a life, or somthing of equal measure to trade. Hearing the emergency team from St. Mungos downstairs, Severus waved his hand getting rid of the potion supplies and then gave Hermione a sleeping drought and layed her in her bed. Walking down the stairs he talked with them and told them that his daughter had found her and was trying to raise her when he came home and stopped her. Nodding they said there appologies and took Jasmin away to the hospital to prepare her for the funeral.
The funeral was a solem occasion, her family his family, and all of their friends and coworkers. Dumbledore along with many of the other teachers at Hogwarts came and paid their respects. Each of them stopping at Hermione to tell her they were sorry and to give her encourgement. When the preist began the lords prayer Hermione finally let the tears she was holding in since the night her mother died come out, silently but strong. Seeing her father talking to Dumbledore her god father, Hermione fell to her knees and cried, her mother, bestfriend, and teacher were gone. Leaving her alone in the world, looking up she met a pair of deep black eyes and launched herself into her fathers arms. She wasn't alone she still had her father, it was just him and her now. They would be alright, sure it would always hurt but her mother was in a better place now. At peace and safe, waiting for when her family would join her once again.
Severus was sitting in the drawing room waiting for his guests to arrive. Lucius Malfoy Margo Zambini along with their sons Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zambini where coming over for dinner, Severus, Margo and Lucius had been friends since their schooling in Hogwarts and had stayed close ever since. Hearing the doorbell and one of his house elves Champa scurry to open the door he stood from his seat to greet his guests. Hoping his daughter would hurry and get herself home for dinner, so he could introuce his guests and help her learn about her new school.
Walking down the streets of Manchester Hermione aka Mya as many now called her ruled them, at seventeen she was a sight to behoold. Her waist length dark brown straight hair blowing in the breeze, her Cavalli boots clicking along the cobble sidewalk. Her from fitting black jeans tucked into her boots, her dark grey top excentuating her eyes, with a black knit jumper over it . Her best friend Nicole Massino decked out in all Mango and Pilgrim wear similar to hers, walking along the sidewalk next to her. Her mid back length dirty blonde hair and blue eyes a perfect contrast to Mya. It was there vacation routine, they had both went to Beaubaxtons together and would never spend the holidays apart. Since Mya had stopped going after her mother died, Nicole would come and hang out with her on their breaks. Since then Mya had been home schooled by her father and the many different tutors he hired. They were the best and had all at some point worked for her Godfather, Albus Dumbldore.
"Bollocks I'm late for dinner !" Mya said turning back around to find a place to apparate.
"You've been late before and he hasn't minded." Nicole said following after her, struggling with her bags and trying to walk faster to met Mya's long strids.
"I know but tonight dad was having guests over and I was supposed to be there to meet them !" Hermione replied switching her bags over to the other arm. Clearing her mind she took Nicole's hand and they apparated to 56 Birminghamshire court. Opening the door Hermione dropped her bags to the right of the door and told Nicole to drop hers to the left. Seeing Champa scurrying over to them she smiled at him and kneeled down to talk to him.
"Champa would you mind taking my bags upstairs to my room and sending Nicoles to her house please ?" Mya asked smiling at him.
"Ofcourse mistress, will miss Missino be joining us for dinner ?" He asked looking up at Nicole.
"Yes she will. Thank you Champa !" Mya said getting up.
"Your welcome miss, I will have Lilly set another place for miss Massino." Champa said and with a bow popped out of sight along with the bags. Walking past the drawing room doors Mya tried to be quiet but her boots made to much noise on the hard wood floor.
"Mya is that you ?" Severus asked from the drawing room.
"Yea dad ?" She replied not going over to the door.
"I would like you to hurry and change into somthing nice but casual and then come down here and meet our guests. And tell Miss Nicole it would be my pleasure if she stayed for dinner aswell." He said smiling at his guests.
"Ok well be back down in a few minutes." Hermione said taking Nicole hand as she ran up the stairs her boots clicking on the marble steps , along with Nicole's.
Opening her bedroom door Mya walked inside and then made her way to her bathroom. Turning on the water she began taking off her clothes as Nicole began picking out what she was going to wear from Mya's closet. Picking a black and blue stripped tee-shirt and a pair of new jeans Mya had bought today, knowing Mya wouldn't mind her wearing them. Closing her eyes she opened them and felt her wet hair on her back, taking the towel that was now wraped around her she dried off and pulled her hair up into a pony tail and then slipped on the clothes.
Pulling her hair up into a french braid in the middle of her head she smiled at her reflection in the mirror, applying light make-up she sat down on Hermione's small love seat in her room and waited for her to finish getting ready. Walking out of the bathroom Hermione walked over to her closet and pulled out a Mui Mui dark emerald green shirt, slipping on a pair of jeans seeing Nicoles outfit she smiled and smoothed it out as she pulled out a pair of her favorite converse. Standing in front of her mirror she slipped them on and then finger curled her hair into small ringlets along her back. Applying make-up she smiled when she was done and handed Nicole a pair of pumas and they both walked out of her room and down the stairs together.
Sitting back into the couch Severus smiled and took a sip of his glass of wine.
"She sounds like such a young lady Severus. She must be so big now, how old is she ?" Lucius asked taking a sip of his fire whiskey.
"Yes she is, looks excautly like Jasmin. Mya's seventeen now, and I was actually thinking of sending her to Hogwarts to have her finish out her schooling there." Severus said smiling at his old friend showing him her Hogwarts acceptance letter.
"Really now, and here I thought you wanted to home school her for he rest if her life. I'm glad you decided to finally send her, I want my neice to be educated at the school we went to. I mean we dont want her to be a hermit now do we ?" Margo said with a smile, as he looked at the letter tracing the Hogwarts emblem. "She will love it there, and the boys are there aswell and will keep a eye out for her !"
"Yea or she will be keeping and eye out for them. Hopfully some of her manners and good behavior will rub off on them. But hey a father can only hope !" Lucias said laughing along with Severus and Margo. "Or she wind up kicking one of their arses, which I believe will be Dracos !"
Hearing the boys come in from flying outside they came and sat down next to their fathers and gave them looks as to question why they were laughing. Shaking their heads they waited for Champa to come and tell them supper was served. Hearing feet walking down the marble steps Severus stood and walked towards the drawing room doors. Walking out the remaining people in the hall heard talking but couldn't fully hear what was said.
"Ah Miss Nicole, its so nice to see you again. You look simply breathtaking, I hope your staying for supper ?" Severus asked hugging her.
"Yes thank you for inviting me. Its so nice to see you aswell." Nicole said smiling as she hugged him back.
"Ah my dear Mya, you look gorgeous love ! Your uncle along with Blaise are hear and a friend of mine from school is here aswell with his son. I would like you to meet them." Severus said taking her hand and leading them into the drawing room.
"Gentleman I would like you to meet my daughter Hermione, and her darling friend Nicole Massino. She attends Beaubaxtons !" Severus explained. Walking towards her Uncle, Mya smiled and hugged him laughing as he picked her up.
"Ah my little fairy how you have grown, it seems just yesterday you were running around outside torturing your poor cousin." Margo said kissing her cheek. Walking over to Blaise she gave him a look before smiling and hugging him. It had been almost two years since they last saw each other.
"Hey runt, still scared of the dark ?" Blaise joked as he hugged her
"Hey git, still scared of spiders ?" She asked hitting him in the arm playfully when they seprated.
"You better believe it !" He laughed, as Mya winked at him and turned to the nest guest Lucias Malfoy.
"Its a pleasure to meet you, I've heard alot about you !" Hermione said smiling at him.
"I tell you dont believe your father its all lies !" Lucias said with a smile turning towards his son. "This is my son Draco, he goes to Hogwarts with your cousin Blaise ! Draco...?" Lucias said getting his sons attention. Turning to acknowledge his father his blue eyes met green. She was gorgeous tall slim, and had a killer pair of legs. A true unique and beautiful specimin of the female species, an angel with long brown hair.
"Pleasure to meet you !" He said taking her hand and kissing it.
"Pleasures all mine !" Mya said smiling at him. 'Damn he was sexy, can I keep him Daddy ?' She thought to herself and had to fight to not start laughing at her last thought. "I hear you go to school with my cousin ? Is he just as much of a git as he is at home ?" Mya asked sitting down on the couch next to him.
"He can be somtimes, but you know a hit here an there keeps him in line." Draco joked as he smiled at her "So you went to Beaubaxtons huh ? How was it there ?" He asked truly interested.
"It was alright, you know the school was nice, as were the students and teachers. But I don't miss it as much as I thought I would." Mya explained as she played with her bracelet.
"Well I can tell you one thing, Hogwarts is the kind of school that once your there you'll never want to leave." Draco said seeing Blaise over on the other couch talking with Nicole. "I'm in Slytherin and personally its the best house there is. The only other house that even comes close to being equal to Slytherin is Gryffindor. Only because they tend to brave to a point of stupidtity, which is why most of them now are Aurors. Take for instance Mad Eye Moody, was a Gryffindor and now look at him. Scared shitless of his own rubbish bins, and as paranoid as ever." He said leaning back against the couch, watching her.
"I see well then lets hope I'm not sorted into Gryffindor then, cause its quite pathetic to be scared of rubbish bins." She said with a small laugh. "My father told me he was in Slytherin and usually if somone in your family was in a certain house the rest of the family would be as well. So heres hoping I'm in Slytherin aswell." Hermione said smiling, seeing her father look at her and smile she excused herself and walked over to him.
"How about you and Nicole go outside with the boys and fly for a bit. I'm sure they wouldn't mind another go on the brooms !" Severus said smiling at her.
"All right, I'll just go and get my broom from upstairs !" Mya said smiling as she ran back up stairs to get it and a spare one for Nicole.
Walking outside next ot the boys Nicole and Mya talked all the way out to the pitch. Setting everything up she turned and smiled to the boys.
"How about a quick game of Quidditch, first team to two hundred wins. But since theres only four of us there will be no goalies, free hand Quidditch. I'll be seeker along with which ever one of the guys wants to stepup. Nicole loves her chaser position and will never give it up so thats what she will be. Ok...alright lets play !" Mya said mounting her broom as she kicked off from the ground. Flicking her wand she opened up the balls box and watched as the snitch flew around hers and Dracos head. Nodding when it flew off she smiled and flew up into the air, loving that her home was in the country allowing her to have a small pitch of her own. Watching Nicole battle it out down ten or twenty feet, she smiled and watched her use her many flexible moves on her broom allowing her to gain a slight lead on Blasie. Seeing a glint of gold in the corner of her eye, she turned and focused on the area around her. Knowing Draco was watching her she played it cool until it came up and flew around in her face, before soaring up into the sky. Taking after it she climbed up into the sky after it. Seeing Draco out of the corner of her eye she erged her broom on and then soared back down to the ground in a nose dive after the Snitch.
Trying to catch it before Draco, Mya wouldnt pull out of the nose dive until she knew there was no way to get it and it was between her life and a game of Quidditch. Seeing Mya diving Nicole forgot about the game a second and watched her, only having seen her do this once before she waited and prayed she wouldnt need her help again. Blancing her weight on the broom Mya reached for the snitch and brushed its wings. Waiting a few seconds before reaching again she stumbled and fell forward onto the ground a foot off the ground. Catching herself she got up and ran she grabbed her broom and hopped on again seeing Draco about to catch the Snitch. Soaring full speed at him she ducked and spun catching the Snitch winning the game. Stopping she smiled and hopped of her broom, walking over to him.
"Good game, maybe next time I'll let you win !" She said as he scowled at her, obviously he didnt like loosing.
"Yea what ever, you just got lucky !" Draco said with a huff as he hopped off his broom and walked over towards the house.
"Whats up his ass, is he always like that when he looses ?" Mya asked Blasie as he walked over.
"O yea, Mya theres one thing us Slytherins hate more than Gryffindors and thats loosing. Hes the captain of our team and hates loosing and what makes it worse is he lost to a girl !" Blasie said walking wth her and Nicole to the house. "No offence cousion but you beat him and hes gonna be sore about it for a little while don't worry tho hes a big boy and he'll get over it soon."
