Always Me…

I stepped off the plane onto my 4inch Gucci heels, I could hear Bella, saying in my mind, "Come on Hermione! Why are you wearing those! You'll trip and be a laughing stock!" I sighed, oh, how I missed Hogwarts, and surprisingly my twin sister, Isabella Granger. I had left to stay with my muggle father Charles, or Charlie as he went by in this little, gloomy town of Forks. I shuddered when I realised Kari, my jet black owl, would be so out of place here where the owls were all brown, I felt so much of her displeasure that it wasn't funny, "Ew, I hate brown! Pink is so much prettier!" Bella had better stay out of my head before I owled Professor Snape, to ask for Occlumency lessons! I looked around for Charles, my brown curls flipping around my neck, my wand, which was sitting in my shoe, could've put it in an elastic band, but I do have a muggle reputation to uphold. So, with that thought in mind, I grabbed my "iPod" and placed the earphones into my ears.

I'm coming home,

I'm coming home,

Tell the world I'm coming home.

Let the rain wash away,

All the pain of yesterday,

I know my kingdom awaits,

and they've forgiven my mistakes.

I'm coming home,

I'm coming home,

Tell the world that I'm coming…

Back where I belong,

Yeah I never felt so strong

(I'm back baby)

I feel like there's nothing that I can't try,

And if you with me put your hands high,

(put your hands high)

If you ever lost a light before,

This ones for you

And you, the dreams are for you.

I hear "The Tears of a Clown"

I hate that song,

I feel like they talking to me when it comes on,

Another day, another dawn,

Another Keisha, nice to meet ya,

Get the math, I'm gone,

What am I 'posed to do when the club lights come on,

It's easy to be Puff, it's harder to be Sean,

What if they twins ask, why I ain't marry their mum?

(Why, damn!)

How do I respond?

What if my stares me in the eye,

With a face like my own,

And says he wants to be like me when he's grown,

Sh*t! But I ain't finished growing!

Another night the inevitable prolongs,

Just tell Taneka and Taresha that I'll be better in the morn'

Another lie that I carry on,

I need to get back to the place where I belong!

I'm coming home,

I'm coming home,

Tell the world I'm coming home.

Let the rain wash away,

All the pain of yesterday,

I know my kingdom awaits,

and they've forgiven my mistakes.

I'm coming home,

I'm coming home,

Tell the world that I'm coming…

"A House Is Not a Home" I really hate this song,

Is a house really a home, when your loved ones is gone?

And n*ggas got the nerve to blame you for it,

And you know you woulda taken the bullet if you saw it,

But you felt it and still feel it,

And money can't make up for it or conceal it,

But you deal with it and you keep ballin'

Pour out some liquor, play boy, and we keep ballin'

Baby we've been living in sin,

'Cause we've been really in love,

But we've been living as friends,

So, you've been a guest in your own home,

It's time to make your house your own,

Pick up the phone,

Come on...

I'm coming home,

I'm coming home,

Tell the world I'm coming home.

Let the rain wash away,

All the pain of yesterday,

I know my kingdom awaits,

and they've forgiven my mistakes.

I'm coming home,

I'm coming home,

Tell the world that I'm coming…

"Ain't no stopping us now" I love that song,

Whenever it comes on it makes me feel strong,

I thought I told y'all that we won't stop,

'Til back cruising through Harlem, Viso Blocks,

It's what made me, saved me, drove me crazy,

Drove me away then embraced me, forgave me,

For all of my shortcomings, welcome to my homecoming,

Yeah, it's been a long time coming.

Lot of fights, lot of scars,

Lot of bottles, lot of cars,

Lot of ups, lot of downs,

Made it back, lost my dog,

(I miss you Big)

And here I stand,

A better man,

(A better man)

Thank you Lord,

(Thank you Lord),

I'm coming home,

I'm coming home,

Tell the world I'm coming home.

Let the rain wash away,

All the pain of yesterday,

I know my kingdom awaits,

and they've forgiven my mistakes.

I'm coming home,

I'm coming home,

Tell the world that I'm coming…

Oh, there he is! Charles was sitting by the drink fountain, talking with a girl of about 17 that looked familiar, as I made my way over to them I realised that it was Nymphadora! I knew Professor Dumbledore wouldn't let me stay away from Hogwarts, without protection, whilst Bellatrix Lestrange was after my blood. But did he have to send Tonks? She was making my father fall for her, and I had to pretend I was alright with this! Argh! The girl was like my sister!"Hello Ch-Dad!" Whoops, I have to call him Dad to his face, I forgot.
"Hey, 'Mione!" He grinned and I saw Tonks shake with laughter, her hair taking on an unnoticeable shade of pink, I blushed because he had a piece of lettuce in his teeth! For Merlin's sake, I am going to have to take on Bella's role of taking care of our father, as she had done so whilst I sat numerous tests at Hogwarts. "Hmm, I wonder if the Cullen's have returned to Forks."
"Hi, I'm Hermione Granger, and you are?" I turned to Tonks, wanting to know what I had to call her in her muggle form.
"You can call me Tonks, but my name is Nymphadora." She replied with a wink. So, Tonks is using her real name, strange she hates the name Nymphadora.
"Well, Tonks, it's been a pleasure to meet you, are you going to Forks High this year? I'm starting as a junior."
"Really! Me too!" I laughed and said,
"Would you like a ride?" Looking to my father for confirmation, he nodded as did Tonks, quite vigorously might I add.

The car ride was quite uneventful, Charles was never one for small talk, for that I am grateful, Tonks would, or could have let something slip about Hogwarts and then I'd have to return to 12 Grimmauld Place, and listen to Sirius complain all day about his deranged cousin. As soon as we reached the house, Tonks whispered Depulso to push the luggage up to the bedroom that I was staying in. I thanked her and told her where to meet me at school tomorrow and with that she left. I picked up Kari's cage and set it on the rocking chair that was sat in the corner of the room. I heard Charles coming up, so I threw my invisibility cloak over the cage and pretended to unpack. He placed a plate of pizza on the desk and left without a word. I yelled thanks to him and laid down on the bed, dreading the day that was to come. I closed my eyes and heard someone whisper, "Sleep, Bella, sleep."
