Chapter 1: Changed
[Hermione's POV]
"Nooooooooooooooo" I yell. My husband comes rushing into our room. "Honey, what is it. Please tell me it isn't an invite to that weekly concert in Hogsmeade. Please don't even think about going there." He asks. I laugh. "No, but it is a reunion of my family. I hate some of those people. The made fun of me, my hair, teeth, my love for books. I don't know if I can stand to be with them for three whole days!" "Maybe I can come with you. You know have a little fun at night ..." "Perv!" I yell at him, while I walk away to shower. "I will follow you in there honey!" Wow what a surprise, he always follows me in there.
Mum, dad and I walk into the hotel. Mum and dad told me it would all be okay. I just scoffed, for them it would be all okay. For me, I was not so sure. While my body is godly, as my husband would subscribe it, because of that they will only see me even more as a threat. We walk toward the family.
My grandparents are already there, just like two of the three people I like of the family; Mariette and Marcus. They are twins and 21 years old. Just like me! "There are my two favourite twins! You guys are the only ones I missed, together with Lena of course." "'Mione, we missed you! Oh my heavens you've changed so much. In a good way of course. We could not survive these three days without you!" "Haha, same for me. Oh no, the wicked witch of the west comes with her two evil daughters." I reply. "Well, let them come. We can handle them." Mariette says.
I wonder who that blonde curly hair is behind them. The evil trio part ways to say hello to our grandparents. NO WAY. "LENAAA, you're here. Oh my heavens I missed you." "Hermione is that you?!"
[Lena's POV]
-Before Hermione meets her-
I walk into the entry hall of a hotel called 'Mistery Days'. I never really thought about the name of it, well it's not like I care about it. "Lenaaaaa!" Oh, Oh, here they come. The people I loathe most. "Serena, Poppy and Aunt Mona, I have missed you guys. Where is the rest of the family?" I ask. "They are over there, we shall walk to them together." Ugh, how I hate these people. Always the best stuff, always acting like they own everything. They come from the 'good' side of the family, while I and my niece come from the 'bad' side of the family.
Speaking of my niece, where is Hermione actually. I haven't seen her since 5th grade. I can't wait to see her. I missed that little dork. We walk towards the family. I get a few bitchy reactions from the evil ones, but I easily ignore them.
I see our grandparents, Mr. Hardt, Mrs. Hardt, Mariette, Marcus, Mr Granger and Mrs Granger. Next to Mariette and Marcus stands a beautiful, gorgeous woman. I think somewhere in her twenty's. I can't quite give her a place. She turns around and screams "LENAAA, you're here! Oh my heavens I missed you!" "Her, He, Hermione is, is that you?!"
[Serena's POV]
The bitch, she thinks she can turn up after ten years or something and steal the show. I don't think so. Hermione Granger turned from a nerd into this. A slut. Well, she certainly looks like it. With her boobs almost falling out of that tight dress. That girl needs a lesson. "Poppy, you know our mission right." "Duhh, that girl won't even exist anymore after we are done with her."
[Hermione's POV]
"Yep." I say while popping the 'p'. "'Mione, you look amazing. I never thought you would come. I mean we haven't seen you in years!" I smirk. Yeah, they haven't seen me in years, because I was fighting a dark lord. "Probably because she was getting all that Botox and stuff" I turn around. Of course, Serena and Poppy stand behind me. "Well, this is all natural. Oh and Serena, I'd give you a nasty look, but looks like you already have one." With that, I turn back to Lena and the twins. They gape at me and Mariette has a proud look in her eyes. "Remember when we had to help her with her fight's, guys. Well, we certainly don't have to help her anymore. Hermione, I am so proud of you!" Mariette smiles when she says that. Then we all burst out in laughter when we see Serena's face. Poppy also doesn't look very happy. "Slut.." I hear her saying. I laugh even harder than before.
Mum comes walking towards us and says we need to follow them, because we are going to check in. This hotel is too pricey for us actually, but no we had to get the best hotel according to Aunt Mona. When we get to the check-in counter, we see Aunt Mona looking angry. "I told you, I want the best suites of the hotel! Not a few small rooms, that's not what I paid for!" "I'm sorry ma'am, but here stand that you paid for the rooms on the first floor." I walk to Aunt Mona and say "Is there a problem here?" The woman behind the counter says "This woman wants to get a better room but it's not possible." She looks up and looks me in the eyes and jumps a little. "I am so sorry, so sorry. I will make it all possible. You can get the whole fourth floor." Thank you... Pansy" I smirk at her and she smirks back. I start walking to the elevator, aware of the staring people behind me and my smiling parents.
[Lena's POV]
"What just happened guys? Hermione just got us the whole fourth floor by just looking that woman in the eyes." "She is full of surprises that girl. You know if she wasn't our niece, I would totally rock her." "Marcus!" "OUcH" "Haha, that was for your own good. I can't believe you." "I'm just telling the truth." I laugh at the bickering between the twins. But seriously, Hermione changed and I need to figure out what happened. I mean, it's not like you can change just like that and act as if nothing happened.
"Oh my heavens, do you think she practices being this dumb, or does it come naturally. She thinks she's everything, well if you set her next to a naked mouse, then yeah. But if you set her next to me, she's just a peasant. Oh hey just like you three!" Serena says. Ugh, I can't stand her. Mariette starts to walk away. Marcus and I follow her quick to the elevator.
Mrs. Hardt walks over to us and says "Hi girls," That delivers a "Hey" from Marcus "Lena you are sharing a room with Hermione. Marcus, you have a room all to yourself and Mariette you are sharing a room with Poppy." Mariette's face looks like she would prefer to dance on a volcano in a ballet tutu than to share a room with Poppy. "What about Serena, mother." asks Marcus. "Oh, I almost forget about her. She is sharing a room with Hermione and you, Lena." With that she walks away.
I stand there with my eyes full of horror and my mouth open. I don't move. Marcus tries to make me and Mariette act normal again. It doesn't work. I'm fine with sharing a room with Hermione, but with Serena. These days are going to be a hell.
[Hermione's POV]
Haha, that learned them not to mess with me. At least I hope. Tonight we are having dinner in the restaurant of the hotel, but first I need to get to my room. I wonder about the things that happened today when a thought comes up to me. None of the family has noticed the ring I'm wearing on my fourth finger on my left hand. I smile at the thought of my husband. I walk into my room and see three beds standing in it. I see my name on one of them, Lena's name on another and Serena's name on the last one. Oh no, this is going to be a long reunion.
I walk to my closet trying to figure out which dress I should wear tonight when I notice a box lying next to my bed. I pick it up, but before I get the chance to open it. Lena and Serena barge into my room. They're fighting about something useless. They stop in the midst of a sentence and look at me. Serena is the first to say something "What is that, a present from your friends? Oh, that's right. You don't have any!" "Actually, I don't know what it is yet. I was just about to open it." "Well, don't keep us waiting, open it!" Lena yells.
I open the package and I see a beautiful emerald green gown in it. While I take it out of the package, a note falls out. Ï get down to pick it up, but Serena is faster. She reads it. 'I picked this out with my amazing skills. It will fit your gorgeous body perfect. I'll see you tonight in this dress.' "Pfff, which gorgeous body. No name, Hermione this must be a joke. Don't deny it. You wrote this to yourself to make us think you have a man." I smile and say "Well, then it wouldn't be a problem that I am going to wear this tonight. Serena scoffs and walks into the bathroom. I laugh. Only he would write something like that. Compliment himself, make me feel good and expect me to wear it in only three sentences.
After Lena and Mariette helped me do my hair, we walked towards the restaurant together. I feel good in my new gown. We sit down next to each other and Marcus. We say hello to our grandparents and the rest of the family, except the evil trio. We order our dinner and talk some more, until Aunt Mona starts to speak. "As you all know of course, my daughters are great young women. They have some news for you all." I kinda stopped listening here.
"... I am going to marry someone." Serena says, while Poppy can't stop smiling. I mumble under my breath, "Probably a rat". "What did you say, Hermione?" "Oh, Oh nothing, just congratulations." I say awkwardly. "That's what I thought. And now the moment where you all have been waiting for. I am going to marry Draco Malfoy!" I spurt out my drink and start laughing hysterically. Mum and dad seem to enjoy all this. "WHAT Hermione, I am marrying Draco Malfoy, hottest man on earth according to Cosmopolitan and you think that's funny. Probably because you can't even find an ugly man to begin with." She high fives Poppy and her mother.
Just as I am about to say something, I hear a familiar voice. "Granger, are they really as dumb as they look, or is it me?" "Who dares to speak to us like that?!" Aunt Mona says angrily. "Oh nobody, it's just, how on earth haven't you all noticed her big wedding ring?" Now it was my family's turn to spurt out their drinks.
[Serena's POV]
"WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME. ARE YOU SERIOUS. YOU CAN'T BE. HERMIONE IS A LITTLE" "I'm going to stop you right there." Okay, breathe Serena, breathe. "Maybe I can have a say in this somewhere." Hermione says. I . Hate . Her. Definitely . She can't be married. "Blaise here is right. I'm married." That was it. Before I could react, I saw nothing but black.
[Hermione's POV]
"Blaise, what are you doing here. Came to visit Pansy?" While I say this Serena blacks out. Well, whatever. It's not like I don't mind the silence there is now. "Actually I came to here for the ball with what friends and Pansy is just a lovely detail. So this is your family?" Yeah, Blaise meet Lena, Mariette, Marcus, Mr. Hardt, Mrs Hardt, Aunt Mona, Serena, Poppy, my grandparents and my own parents. You know them of course. So, you're coming to the ball tomorrow night and if I may ask. Are these friends of yours, also friends of mine?" I say with a smile. "Yep! The usual. Harry, Ginny, Ron, Lavender, Neville, Luna, Theo, Daphne and Pansy is also coming of course." "I can't wait to see them again, Blaise." "The same goes for them, Hermione. I'll see you tomorrow! Oh, and wear something sexy! With that he walks away. I smirk. Some things never change.
I look at my family and say "I probably owe you an explanation, right?" "YES!" They answer as one.
[Mariette's POV]
"YES!" Hermione is married? Why didn't she tell us? Why didn't I notice that big ring on her left hand? "Okay, I am married and I have been for one year now." I am the first to react. "But you're only 21 years old! That means you were married at the age of 20!." "Yes, that is correct. But in my defence I have known him since I was 11 years old." She smirks at the thought of that. Serena wakes up and looks warily around until she sees Hermione. She says "Well, who is it then. I bet he isn't even real." Hermione answers "That is for me to know and for you to find out." "When will we find out, Hermione. I want to know it!" "Lena, you will find out tomorrow, just like the rest. I am off to bed now. Goodnight everyone."
When she was gone. Everyone started whispering. Even my grandparents! Marcus leans over to me and Lena and says "Can you believe this. Why didn't she tell us or invited us to the wedding?" Great, another good question. Lena says "I don't know, Marcus. Tomorrow I will try to find out more and make sure Serena and Poppy don't kill her." "Sssst," I say. "I think Aunt Mona is going to say something."
"That was weird. Mr. and Mrs. Granger don't you think you should say something to your daughter about this. I mean she can't just spread lies around like that." Oh no. "Mona, don't even think that that was a lie. We were at the wedding and she has a very loving husband. He is good to her. Hermione would never lie about something like that." Wow, Mr. Granger had a point. Hermione doesn't lie and even if she would, she would never lie about something big like this. Now Poppy starts to speak. Fantastic. "Even if Hermione would be married, what is an absurd idea, Serena is also getting married. Serena has a much better fiancée than Hermione anyway." "Oh, you don't even know who her fiancée is!" "Mrs. Granger with all due respect, are you serious implying that Hermione's husband better is than Draco Malfoy, the hottest man on earth." "Yeah! I am indeed implying that. Do you want to know why? Because Hermione's husband is real, unlike Serena's fiancée!" Silence. Dead Silence. After Mrs. Granger said this she walked away like a boss. Mr. Granger followed and eventually the only ones left were the evil trio. That's right, even my cool grandparents walked away.
[Lena's POV]
I walked into our room and I saw Hermione sleeping. This dinner was the worst I had ever been to. Let's hope that tomorrow at the ball everything will be alright. I got ready for bed and laid down. I soon drifted into sleep with one big question in my head.
Who was the mystery husband of Hermione?
It's time to get ready for the ball. Mariette, I and basically the rest of the family, except her parents, has tried to get information out of her the whole day. It didn't work. She has given nothing away, only that tonight we would know. Mariette comes out of the bathroom and sits down on Serena's bed. Serena has gone to Poppy and Mariette's room and Mariette came to mine. Mariette looks beautiful, now it's my turn. I get into the bathroom and put my dress and makeup on. After twenty minutes I am done. I ask Mariette "Do you know where Hermione is. She needs to get ready for the ball." And if like it was practised, Hermione comes walking in with her gown already on her, her makeup on and a bright smile on her face. She looks amazing, gorgeous, beautiful. I can't even describe it. Don't get me wrong, I love boys but she just looks that great. "Come on, close your mouths, otherwise flies will fly in." Mariette and I both close our mouths quickly. "Hermione you look amazing." "Aww, thank you, guys. Shall we go to the ball?" "Yep," Mariette says. "Let's go." I have a feeling this will be a ball I will never forget.
I would love to know what you thought of it. Please review if you feel like it! Chapter 2 will be coming soon, I'm already working on it.
