All For You

Remus Lupin stood hidden in the woods as he watched his house burn to the ground. He held his only daughter shielding her from heat and flames. He looked down into a pair of bright brown eyes. She was the only happiness he had in his life his wife, Mary had died giving birth to his daughter on September 19,1979. Than his friends Lily and James Potter were murdered two weeks ago on October 31,1981 by the Dark Lord Voldemort. Sirius Black was sent to Azkaban for the murder of his other friend, Peter Pettigrew along with twelve muggles. Everything had been taken from him; except his only daughter. Remus quickly ducked behind a tree when a death eater approached the woods. He took out his wand and was gone with a faint pop.

Remus stood in an empty alleyway and put his wand into his pocket. He pulled the pink blanket around her a little tighter to ensure she stayed warm from the cold winter night. He walked down the dark sidewalk that was only lit by a few side road lamps. Remus stood in front of a building he never wanted to see. The orphanage. He took a deep breath and knocked on the wooden door.

The door opened and Remus stood face to face with a man that had short gray hair, wrinkled pale skin, blue eye and thin frame. He introduced himself as Ben Bryan. He ran London Children's Home. He ushered the young man inside out of the cold. Ben closed the door behind him. Remus introduced himself and his daughter, Hermione Jean. He lowered the blanket from her head. Hermione had long chin length brown curly hair, pale skin, bright brown eyes, a button nose with a few freckles.

"Come and have a cup of tea. It will warm you up." Ben told him. Remus nodded and followed the man into the kitchen.

Remus sat down at the small old warn out table. He held Hermione close not wanting to leave her with strangers. Ben sat a cup of tea down in front of him. He gave Ben a small thank in return. Ben nodded and joined him at the table with his own cup of tea.

"How old is your daughter?" Ben asked Remus.

He looked down and smiled weakly. "Hermione's almost two. She'll be two on September 19th I wouldn't be here if I had any other choice."

Ben looked the young father and knew he didn't want to be at the orphanage. He looked as if he had lost everything and everyone he loved and it tugged at his heart. It had been years since he saw such pain in a young parent.

"May I have a piece of paper and a pen? Please." Remus whispered. Ben quickly grabbed the items. He sat them in front of him. "Thank you."

Ben sat back down at the table and quietly watched Remus tearfully write a letter. He pulled out a necklace with a small diamond moon on the white gold chain. He sat it down on top of the letter.

"Please make sure who ever adopts Hermione gets this. It belonged to her mother." Remus told the elderly man and slid them across the table.

"I'll see to her adoption personally Mr. Lupin." he told him.

Remus stood up with a heavy sigh. "This is where I leave you Pup. I'm doing this to protect you. I'm doing it all for you. I love you Hermione." He kissed his daughter and handed her over to the man in front of him. He quickly left the orphanage hearing the cries of his daughter.

"The poor man. Well, come on Hermione." Ben said gently and went up stairs to tuck the small girl into bed.

John, Anna Granger and their ten old son Ralph walked into the London Children's Home in hope to find a son or daughter. They wanted another child, but after the birth Ralph they couldn't have anymore children. They didn't want him to be an only child. Ralph was excited about getting a baby brother, but he knew his mother had her heart set on a girl. He wanted someone to play sports.

John had short blonde hair, tone skin, blue eyes, and muscular frame. He taught twelfth grade English at London Westside High School. Anna had long brown hair, pale skin, brown eye, thin womanly frame. She worked for the Westside Criminal Lab. Ralph had short sandy blonde hair, light tone skin, brown eyes, tall with broad shoulders. He was very athletic and played on his school's soccer and baseball teams.

Ben walked up to the family and introduced himself to the Grangers. "What are we looking for? A boy or a girl?" He quietly hoped that the family was right for little Hermione.

Ralph smiled at the man before him and said, "A girl." Anna turned to her son. "She can still play sports. Anyway, you want a girl." She kissed her son's cheek. "Mom." He said rubbed off the kiss slightly embarrassed at the loving affection in front of a stranger.

"Please follow me." Ben told the family. They quietly followed him. He told them about each child. They shook their heads. "There is one more. I personally promise the young man to find his daughter a good home." He stopped at a nursery door. "The poor man didn't want to leave her but was unable to keep her." He said quietly opening the door. "Her name's Hermione Jean. She's two today."

Anna walked over to the sleeping baby and smiled. She pushed back a curl from the little girl's face. Hermione slowly opened her eyes and looked at the woman closely. She smiled at Anna. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and pulled herself up with the bars.

Ralph walked up to the crib and Hermione reached for him. He smiled and took the two year old into his arms. She studied him closely and hugged his neck. He held her close. He knew that there was something every special about the young baby. She would be his baby. She would be his to take of. She would be his small fry.

John smiled at the couple. He looked at his wife, who nodded with a smile. "We'll take her Mr. Bryan."

"Wonderful. Let's get the paperwork out of the way." Ben told them and led them out of the room after gathering Hermione's things from the room.

Ben sat down at his desk and pulled out the paperwork. He handed it to John. He read over them and signed his name to the adoption papers soon followed by Anna's signature. John handed the papers back to Ben handed them a copy of the paperwork.

"Now, the father wanted you to have this." He said, handing Anna an envelope.

She took it and stuck it into her purse. She turned her head and saw Ralph playing with Hermione on the floor. "You have a baby sister." she said with a smile.

Ralph stood up and lifted Hermione up into his arms. "Are you ready to go home, Hermione?" She nodded her head.

John and Anna thanked the man. She grabbed the baby bag, and they left the orphanage with a daughter.

As the years passed Anna, John and Ralph found out that Hermione was different from the other children. She could move things when she was angry and pop in and out of places. They had taken her to several special doctors but none could find anything wrong with her. They all said she was a happy healthy child. So after the sixth doctor they decided to stop all the doctors and testing and let Hermione be a child. Anna and John didn't want Hermione to grow up too fast and miss her childhood.

When Hermione was near her 12th birthday a man named Albus Dumbledore and a woman named Minerva McGonagall came to the house and told the family that Hermione was a witch. She was accepted into a school called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Ralph saw Hermione's eyes shine. She wasn't the only one with magical abilities. She would meet people like her. She could learn about a magic. It was truly a dream come true.

"Mom, Dad Hermione isn't happy at her school." Ralph told his parents. "At lest give it one year."

Anna looked at her husband and he nodded. "One year." he told them. He turned to Hermione. "We'll give you one year, and if you don't like it you don't have to go back."

Albus's eyes twinkled behind his half moon shape glasses. "She'll love Hogwarts. We'll see you September fist."

Hermione smiled at the Headmaster and Deputy Headmistress. Albus shook John and Anna's hand and the couple left the Granger home.

Hermione got up from the table and threw her arms around her brother's neck. "Thank you Ralph." She turned to her parents and excitedly gave them a hug and a thank you.

He smiled and returned the hug. "I just want to see you happy," he pulled back, "Just write me." Hermione smiled and nodded her head.

Hermione contently kept in touch with her family. She mainly kept in touch with her big brother. She had told them about her being sorted into Gryffindor House. She had made two friends named Ron Weasely and Harry Potter. She left the parts out of the troll in the letters to her parents, but she told Ralph about them in his own letters. She told him all about their adventure to stop Voldemort in her first year. Ralph kept the big details to himself knowing that his parents would pull her out of Hogwarts quickly.

Than in Hermione's second year wrote Ralph and told him all about the large Basilisk. She was petrified. John and Anna became worried when they didn't receive any letters from her. Ralph quickly thought of a white lie and told them that the teachers were working her hard and didn't have much time to write. He had even forged a little to make it look like Hermione had written them. He was just glad that they didn't figure out the truth. He knew Hermione was happy at school and he didn't want her at home unhappy.
