Could Love Be In His Eyes?
Chapter one: Hermione doomed or saved?
16-year-old Hermione Granger was in her bedroom with her radio on really loud. The song that was playing was One Step Closer by S club 8. Her room was a light shade of purple.
"HERMIONE?" A voice shouted above the music.
Hermione turned the music down and looked to where the voice came from.
"Hey, mom!" Hermione greeted happily.
"Hey, Hermione. I've got to go to the hospital to see your aunt ok. You might be having a new baby cousin, if he or she will make it that is." Hermione's mother, Annabell said worriedly.
"What's wrong?" Hermione asked abruptly.
"Hermione, you know how you have problems happening to you sometimes? Like when you sometimes had to be rushed into hospital because you weren't breathing very well when you were so young." Annabell said.
Hermione nodded.
"Well your baby cousin has those very same problems and he or she might not live like I almost lost you." Annabell explained.
"Oh no!" Hermione gasped. "This is something else new that I've learnt about myself isn't it? And now it's happening to an unborn life in my family!"
"Oh, come on! Don't cry! I promise that we'll try everything to keep this child alive." Annabell soothed, trying to cheer Hermione up.
"Ok.That sentence did the trick mom. You remembered from when I almost drowned in the sea when we were on holiday. How old was I again?" Hermione wondered.
"You were three years old." A male voice said from the doorway, making Hermione jump.
"Hi, dad." Hermione said in monotone.
"Hermione, I need you to pick your sister from Jennifer's house." Annabell told Hermione.
"Jennifer being Tia's mother yeah?" Hermione asked, innocently.
"You know it is, Nene." Hermione's father, Chris, said laughing.
"Do I have to get Rose from Tia's? She'll only ask me if Tia can come back with us." Hermione moaned.
"Then say that she can come back here, then when Rose goes to sleep during the afternoon, take Tia home then quickly get back before she wakes up." Chris planned.
"Chris, we'd better get going!" Annabell said suddenly.
"Oh, yes!" Chris exclaimed.
"See you later Hermione. And remember to.." Annabell started but was cut off when Hermione said, "Yeah, yeah I know! Get Rose from Tia's."
"Right. Bye." Annabell and Chris chimed in unison.
"See ya." Hermione called.
Soon after, Hermione heard her parents' car pulling out of the driveway and going towards the hospital.
"Oh, well. I'd better face my doom." Hermione muttered gloomily.
