Chapter 1 - Again
I watched as Harry embraced Ginny after the war ended. But when he kissed Ginny, it broke my heart. Again. I assumed it was going to be different this time. I hoped Harry would come back to me once and for all. But he chose Ginny over me again.
"Nat, are you okay?" I turned around and found Hermione looking at me with concern.
I smiled, "Yeah! Why wouldn't I be? We just ended Voldemort's reign! This is the time to celebrate."
"You don't have to lie to me. I know, no matter how many times you say you are alright with Harry and Ginny, it's not true."
"Hermione, let's not go there right now. I mean, now that we don't have a dark wizard on our tails, we'll have a lot of time to discuss boy problems." She snorted. I hugged her. "We did it! We managed to help Harry kill Voldemort." I told her excitedly. Effectively changing the topic.
She saw through me but didn't push it, "You are right about that. I'm so glad this is over."
"I second that. Let's go find my family. I didn't even get a chance to say hello to them before the war broke out tonight."
It did not take me long to find my family. Like most of them, they were also in the now destroyed Great Hall. I ran to hug my parents. I can't even remember the last time I saw them. Being on the run, did not give me the liberty to visit them whenever I wanted. It was a very emotional reunion for me. My parents held me and cried for a while. My grandparents, my uncles, my aunts, my cousins were very happy that I was alive. My older brothers, Michael, William and Andrew were relieved to see me. They hugged me so tight, I thought, I was going to die off suffocation.
"Hermione, you did so well." My mom told her while hugging her.
"Thank you, Mrs. Shepherd." Hermione said.
That's right, you heard right, Shepherd. The Shepherds are one of the oldest families in the wizarding world. Despite being one of the oldest families around, not all our lines are pure. Take my parents for instance, my dad is a pureblood wizard and my mom is a muggle-born witch. I am Natalie Shepherd, the youngest witch of the family, one fourth of the Golden quartet and Harry Potter's ex-girlfriend.
I'm back with a new story! I've been toying with this idea for a while now, so I thought, I should give it a try. I hope you will like it! I've always wanted to try out the golden quartet thing instead of the golden trio.
Anyways, please read and review and tell me your views! I'm sort of not satisfied with the title of the story! But it was the best i could come up with! As the story goes on, if you guys come up with something i like..i will change the title! Thanks for reading!
