Ocean Watcher

Disclaimer: I do not own anything that you may recognize that all belongs to JK Rowling, all the characters you don't recognize Demi, and the Children are my own creation,

This story may be a little confusing; I hope you can follow along. This line here/\\//\\/ differentiates between the story and Rose's story.

When it is Rose telling the story, it is in Hermione's POV (point of view)

When it is Saffron telling the story it is in Ginny's POV

I am warning you now that the characters are AU but I hope I got them close.

Chapter 1

"Grandma-ma, tell us a story please!!!!" four little grandchildren sat on the floor in front of their grandmother, everyday she would sit in the rocking chair and stare out onto the ocean. "Keep an eye out on the ocean I will return over it"

"Grandma-ma!!!" they whined

"Tracey, Sybil, Martin, Diana, get away from there"

"Sorry Great-Uncle Harry" they said together

"Sorry, Uncle Harry I was supposed to be watching my own kids they kind have got away from me, how's mom?" I said walking into Uncle Harry's parlour, we—my mother my two children (Sybil and Tracey) and I—have been living in Uncle Harry's manor with him as long as I could remember, I was moved out for a few years though, but unfortunately my husband and I had divorced right after Sybil was born so I had moved back in here, to help out.

"Same as usual, just staring over the water" he said watching her,

"Mommy tell us a story puweaze" Sybil said

"Alright, come sit down over here I will tell you a story about grandma alright?"

"Rose, do you think you really want to do that?"

"Yes, Uncle Harry, I really do"

"Go into the other room then" he demanded, I nodded and brought the kids to the other room.

"Harry you didn't have to do that"

"Hermione yes I did, I know you hate hearing the story"

"That story as you call it is true it is what happened, and everyday I relive it"

"Hermione he is not coming back"

"Harry he told me he would, listen you have Demi, Ginny has Blaise, and Ron has Luna, the one person I had is gone, he promised he would come back"

"Hermione…"

"He Will Come Back" she said he turned and started to leave but not without saying.

"A watched pot never boils" and he joined us in the living room.

"Okay kids, this happened a really long time ago before I was even born, when grandma-ma was only a teenager, she was 19 years old and a year out of Hogwarts. That was her school's name." they nodded.

I was standing in my living room saying goodbye to the one man I truly loved, I was crying and my unborn child was kicking. "Please don't leave me!!" I said holding my 7 month pregnant stomach.

"Hermione I have to" he said he was crying to, I had never seen him cry like that.

"Please don't, something bad is going to happen"

"Hermione I will return to you, I promise" he was trying to comfort me but I wasn't sure if it was me he was comforting or himself.

"No I can't live without you, how am I supposed to do this alone"

"I have already made arrangements for you to live with the Potter's, until I return, listen if I don't go we will both be killed then who will watch after our family"

"Please, I am really late I must go"

"Be safe, I wish it wasn't like this"

"Keep an eye out on the ocean I will return over it"

"Two eyes. I promise" I said

"I promise too, stay at the Potter's until I return, Harry has everything arranged and Ginny will come over and help you with the baby."

"Please, please don't leave me, I can't live without you"

"Hermione, you'll be fine, you're strong but here take this" he handed me a little box. Tears were clearly streaming down my face and forming a puddle on the floor, "I Love you Hermione never forget that"

"I will always love you, and I will always wait" I said and he Apparated out with one last passionate kiss to my lips, I returned it and I did not want to let go, but I had to I knew this was something he had to do. Once he had left I immediately sat down in a big comfy chair and cried my heart out. "Hermione keep an eye out on the ocean I will return over it"

I don't know what time it was when I next looked at the clock because before I knew it a very pregnant Ginny Zabini was beside me shaking me awake "Hermione, it's time to wake up hun"

"Go away; I'm going to hibernate until he returns"

"That won't be good for the baby Mione, and he wouldn't want you to do that"

"I don't care"

"Hermione come on up we have to get your things together"

"I won't leave! I can't leave!!" I screamed at her, but she wouldn't have it. She picked up her cell phone from her pocket and dialled a number

"Harry get my brother's here she is not cooperating" she said "thanks" and hung up she smirked at me and I glared at her. She couldn't use magic on me because I was so far along in my pregnancy it may have hurt the baby. In a few minutes Harry, Ron, Fred, George, Bill, and Charlie came rushing through the door

"Don't you dare break my door!!" I screamed at them

"Calm down Hermione, this is what he wanted" Harry said gently he was used to pregnant lady mood swings, his wife Demetri or Demi for short just had her son James a few months ago.

"I AM CALM"

"Ginny you go pack some things for her" Harry said giving orders, "Charlie, Bill you guys go pack up the nursery, Ron go help Ginny but with other bedroom things, that would help make her new room more homey, leave the clothes to Ginny and leave his things" he said and they went up the many stairs to the nursery and the bedroom, "Fred George you can help Hermione to the house"

"What, arg, are you going, arg, to do Harry?" Fred asked, I said nothing I just let them take me away, I wasn't helpful though, I wanted to stay in my spot.

"Get the rest of the place packed, we can't use magic on her but we can on the rest of the manor, we have to empty it except for his things"

"NOOOOO!!!" I screamed but they had already pretty much dragged me to the car and buckled me down in the middle of the two of them in the back seat.

"Hermione you're having a baby, stop acting like one!!" Ginny said getting in the car

"Where are my things?" I asked seeing her empty hands

"Already at the manor, I Apparated them there" she stated simply. I huffed and crossed my arms over my chest. I noticed Bill get into Ginny's car and Charlie get into my car and drive off, they too had no bags or anything. I glared at the cars as they drove down the long stretch of driveway that the manor had, Harry and Ginny's houses were only 10 minutes away by car—they were neighbours. Harry came out of the house saying something to Ron and then got in the car, he said no words just smiled, started the car and drove down the driveway. I looked back at my beautiful house and more tears streamed down my face, Fred and George both had a hand around one of my arms so I couldn't apparate away. "Don't worry Hermione; your new room has a great ocean view" Ginny said trying to cheer me up. It wasn't working though.

"Hermione calm down, please" Harry said nicely I just kicked his seat. "Hermione I am driving can you please refrain" he said so I kicked Ginny's seat

"What was that for?" she looked at me I glared at her, "Will you stop being a baby, I'm not acting like this, Demi never acted like this, why are you?"

"You aren't and she wasn't left alone and ripped away from her home" I said scathingly. In now time at all unfortunately for me we were there Demi met us at the door but I was in no mood. Fred and George brought me up to my new room and I immediately ran to the bay window sill and stared at the ocean.

"Aunt Rosie why is grandmamma being so mean to uncle Harry, uncle Ron, uncle Fred uncle George, uncle Bill, uncle Charlie and aunt Ginny and aunt Demi?"

"Well Diana, grandmamma did not want to leave her house, too many things were happening at once and she was afraid"

"Grandmamma is afraid? She doesn't get afraid!" Martin said brushing it off "Hi mommy" he said seeing my best friend and sister-in-law come into the room.

"Hi sweetie what are we all doing in here?" she asked

"We're listening to a story about grandmamma" Diana said cheerfully

"Really which one? Oh hi Uncle Harry I didn't see you there"

"It's alright Saffron; they are listening to the story of when Hermione came to live here"

"I know that one mom told that to me a lot" she said "maybe I can help you tell the story a little bit"

"Sure" I said happily

"Mommy! Get on with the story!" Tracey urged.

"Alright" I said
