Prologue
April 10 2000
Hermione and Blaise had been dating for just over a year now. Blaise was certain he was going to propose to her either at Christmas or on New Year's Eve.
"Hi Bella, I'm home, how are?" Blaise asked he walked into their living room and saw her sitting on the lounge reading a book.
"Hey, I'm good and you? How was work?" she asked kissing his cheek.
"oh it was dreadful" groaned Blaise as he kissed her on the lips.
"Why?" she asked in confusion.
"Do you know how many times they change the same law over and over again? Just to suit a particular case, it's becoming difficult to remember" Blaise was nearing the end of his Magical Law studies with the department of Magical Law.
Hermione meanwhile worked for the Department of Mysteries as an Unspeakable.
"Oh is that so?" Hermione asked coyly as she slid onto Blaise's lap so she was straddling him.
"Yes" he groaned throwing his head back in defeat.
"What if there was a way I could help you study with fantastic rewards?" she asked in seductively husky tone.
Blaise looked her in the eye, "Just what sort of rewards are we talking about Miss Granger?" he asked raising an eyebrow.
Instead of replying, Hermione leaned forward and kissed him. He wrapped his arms around her waist and deepened the kiss.
"Well?" she asked him a whisper.
"I say that would be great fantastic reward indeed" he replied before kissing her again passionately.
May 18 2000
"That was amazing" said Hermione as she caught her breath.
She was naked and straddling Blaise, they had spent most of the evening celebrating the end of his exams by making love.
"It was amazing indeed, you are so beautiful, I love you much" he said propping himself up on his elbows.
"I love you too" she replied leaning forward to kiss him, before rolling off him and snuggling to his side before they fell asleep.
June 2, 2000
Hermione was at her desk when and envelope arrived for her, she opened it to find a piece of parchment folded inside, she unfolded it and read.
This is your last warning Mudblood. Stay away from Zabini, purebloods and dirty flith like you don't mix. If you don't leave him, prepare to lose him forever.
This was the fifth message she had received like this in the past two weeks. She hadn't told anyone about this. Hermione had heard from Harry, who was now an Auror, that there were a group of Death Eaters staring up again. She didn't want to lose her life and she didn't want Blaise to die for her.
Her decision was finally made.
June 3, 2000
It was the end of Blaise's graduation Dinner at the Ministry Ballroom.
Hermione knew she was going to leave him tonight and it broke her heart.
"Love, I'm feeling tired, I think I might head back home, I'll see you soon" she told him.
"Well, should I come with you?' he asked out of concern.
"No love, I'll be okay, you stay, I'll see you at home" she kissed goodbye on the lips, their final kiss. She said her goodbyes to his Slytherin friends including Draco and Pansy, then to Harry, Ron, Dean and Ginny. She stumbled out of the fireplace in their flat before rushing to change out of her evening dress into more comfortable clothing before grabbing her suitcase, writing him a note and leaving their flat.
A little later when Blaise got home, he was shocked to find it empty, then he found her note on the kitchen counter.
Blaise
I'm sorry to do this to you my love, but it is because I love you so much that I must leave you. I cannot have you lose your life for me. I've been receiving notes with threats made against our relationship, and this is the only way we can both remain alive. Know that I will love you forever.
Yours forever
Hermione x
He rushed to their bedroom and searched through her side of the wardrobe and found the first threatening letter she received, he immediately flooed to Harry's to tell him what had happened.
July 31, 2000
Hermione sat in her hotel room in Paris, today was Harry's 20th birthday, she had considered sending him a card, but thought it was better that not draw any attention to herself.
She got up off the bed and opened the paper bag she had picked up from the chemist. She was late for the first time ever and she was freaking out. What if she was pregnant, what would she do then? She took out the pregnancy test and went into the bathroom and did the test. She waited for the 3 minutes to pass and looked the test and then the guide on the box. She was pregnant, pregnant, alone and scared. She curled up on the bed and cried herself to sleep.
August 7th, 2000 – lunch time.
She just walked out of the local Medical Centre near to her hotel. She had just confirmed she was just over two months pregnant. The loneliness was killing her and she needed to tell someone she was okay. She got back to hotel room and wrote a note before heading into wizarding side of Paris to the owl post office.
August 8th, 2000
A loud noise awoke the residents of apartment 15C, in an apartment block in Wimbledon, London.
Ginny rose out of bed and walked over to the window and opened it allowing the Owl to come in. He flew in and landed on top of the dresser.
"Who's that from?" Dean asked his girlfriend.
"Don't know love" she replied walking over to the owl and retrieving the letter from his foot.
She unfolded the letter and immediately recognised, it was written in Pen rather than quill ink. Only one person she knew wrote in Pen, Hermione.
"Oh My God Dean, Hermione has sent a note, here listen to this" she rushed over and sat on his side of the bed.
"Dear Ginny, I know this must come as a shock to you. I just wanted to let you know that I'm okay, I'm keeping well. I miss you all so much, but I cannot return out of fear. Please tell Blaise that I love him so much and I miss him the most. If you could, please visit my parents and tell them that I am well, I would be most grateful for that.
Love Hermione
P.S Happy Birthday for the 11th"
"Blimey, Dean, we have to show this to the others"
They both raced around their apartment to change their clothes before making their way to Harry's.
"Harry, Harry? Are you here?" Ginny called out as she and Dean arrived at 12 Grimmauld place.
Astoria, Harry's girlfriend raced into the room.
"Hey Ginny, Harry's just at the shops, what's wrong?"
"I received a letter from Hermione this morning, that I need to tell him about" the red head replied.
"Oh my goodness, she's okay, let me call him and get him back here" replied Astoria as she went to find her mobile phone.
"I better get Blaise here too" said Dean as he stepped back into the floo.
When Harry and Blaise arrived at Grimmauld place, they looked over the letter and decided they should head to wherever Hermione had sent the letter from.
After using a trace spell, Harry had worked out she had sent it from Paris. However, by the time they got there Hermione had already moved on. They had missed her by a few hours.
February 23, 2001
Hermione was now on Maternity leave from her job at the offices of Geneva's daily paper. At 11am, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach and immediately called her next door neighbour. A few hours later, she gave birth with Anna, her neighbour and friend by her side.
As she looked into her daughter's eyes, she knew she had left for the right reason, so Allison Marie Granger could be born. Ally had her mother's chocolate brown curls and eyes to match with a tanned complexion but with the rest of her facial features belonging to Blaise.
November 5, 2001
Hermione and Ally said goodbye to Anna and Switzerland and moved to LA where Hermione had been offered a job with the LA Times. It was also at this time that Hermione had joined the nearby gym to work off her baby weight.
It had been over a year, since had contacted her friends or her parents and she regretted it terribly, but from what she heard, Theo Nott and his gang of death eaters were still terrorising the Muggle Borns of Britain and parts of Europe and decided not to contact any of them.
January 2002
With Ally now the stage of standing, Hermione had to baby proof her Condo with an array of locking her cupboards and drawers and placed protection charms on her furniture so her daughter would not face any trouble when she started to walk.
Also, having worked off a good chuck of her baby weight, she caught the eye of a few modelling agents and started modelling for some US magazines.
April 2004
Ally now just over three years old, started showing signs of magic and Hermione unfortunately had to pull her out of her muggle pre-school. Her daughter was very upset with this. Hermione and Allison moved to the wizarding part of LA, where Hermione started Modelling for US Magical Monthly, national fashion magazine for wizarding community.
Hermione did date a few American wizards during this time, but those relationships never last long, as she always thought they were never right for her daughter.
July 2005
After nearly a year of Modelling for the wizarding Brand BeWitched she finally met the head designer, who was overseeing the launch of their lingerie collection in the US.
Hermione stood there in her dressing gown stared in shock at the familiar witch.
"Daphne Greengrass?" the Brunette asked the other witch in shock.
