Hermione's Mother
Chapter 1: Mother Returns
She'd always known she was adopted. Her parents had told her at the tiny age of three she was not really theirs. It was after she'd been sent home from daycare for making boils pop out all over a little boy that had teased her.
That was the day her happy home life turned dark and fearful. Her mother ignored her and her father would spend all night drinking before waking her in the middle of the night and beating her.
When ever she went to the hospital her parents were so convincing no investigation was ever made.
She started school at age six and breezed through thinking being the best and smartest would make her adopted parents love her again. It did not help in the slightest.
The only thing that got her through this was the fact she had found her birth mother's address and was able to sneak a letter.
Shockingly she got a reply but it had come from an owl. From then on she was in contact always with her biological mother; though she never told her about the abuse.
When she discovered she was a witch she felt elated and fearful. Her parents already hated the odd things she could do. Knowing she was magic would make it worse.
The child was right. Though the Grangers had avoided her all through the first year; by the time she returned for the summer all hell broke loose.
"Jane, I am not having that…that thing in this house anymore!!" Mark Granger shouted one afternoon.
Hermione had her door locked but could not concentrate on her homework for hearing the shouting.
"Mark she's a child. Besides you knew what her mother was," Jane stated.
"DAMN YOU! I told you I didn't want her if she was the same as that…that cow!" Mark howled.
Hermione heard screaming and crying followed by the thump, thump of Mark's fist on his wife. Then there was a dull thud, a gun shot blast, followed by pounding steps of the stairs.
Hermione gasped knowing Mark had gone to far and ran to her desk scribbling and S.O.S. she sent with Hedwig who had been visiting her.
"Please take it to M.G. McGonagall on Calico Ranch!" Hermione said quickly opening the window. The owl flew out as a scream was heard and another gun shot as Hedwig picked up her pace headed to Calico.
Hermione woke up two days later to a nurse hovering over her checking her vitals and the tubes coming out of her arm. The smiling blonde haired women stood back looking at her fondly.
"Hey cutie how do you feel?" the woman asked.
"My head hurts," Hermione said softly and lifted her other hand to feel a bandage around her head.
"I'd imagine so. You had a horrible concussion and a crack in your skull. You were very lucky no permanent damage was done," the nurse stated.
"I…what happened?" Hermione asked, "How'd I get here?"
"The neighbors called the police. Your father is in the city jail waiting trial…and I'm very sorry but we couldn't save your mother," the nurse said softly.
Hermione sighed and laid her head back. "What will happen to me?" Hermione asked.
"That falls to me. I'm Carrie Shaw from social services," replied a woman entering the room. She was tall and thin with a horse like face and severe expression. She was in a drab grey suit with thin mousy brown hair and dull brown eyes.
"Nurse Rocker I'll take it from here," Carrie stated.
"Hermione I'll come back to check on you later," the nice nurse winked and quietly stepped out leaving the two alone.
Ms. Shaw walked up to the foot of the bed and eyed the girl as if appraising her.
"Well now I believe I've found you a suitable place. You'll head to Alder's Boarding House for Girls in five days time. You'll have to appear at your father's trial on the 30th and from there we…." the woman was interrupted as the nurse reentered looking upset.
"Ms. Shaw we need you. There's a man and woman at the desk pitching a fit to see Miss Granger. The woman said she's her mother!" the nurse stated.
Ms. Shaw's eyes narrowed as she shut her binder and stalked off with the nurse.
Hermione sat up in the bed and tried to look presentable.
"Please like me," Hermione prayed waiting for her real mother.
Ms. Shaw and Nurse Rocker came down the hall to hear a voice with a light Irish lilt screaming at the nurses.
"I don't give a damn what protocol says. I was in labor for seventy two hours with that child; do you honestly think I wouldn't know she was mine!?" The woman screeched before turning to the man she was with and slapped him hard.
"I will never leave a child with muggles again!!" the woman snapped angrily.
"Maggie please we're in a hospital," the man hissed grabbing her wrist. She jerked away with great force and turned to the nurses again who were looking highly intimidated.
"I want to see my daughter!!" she snapped.
"Excuse me!" Shaw snapped bringing the woman's attention on her. The woman turned and narrowed her eyes on the woman.
"Who are you?" Shaw asked.
"Margaret Grace McGonagall. I am Hermione's biological mother and I want to see her! I demand to!" the woman snapped.
"Do you have proof? This child has been through a very traumatic experience and does not need to be upset by some insane woman," Shaw said coolly.
Nurse Rocker felt goose bumps come on her skin and the hall became colder as she was certain she heard a cat like growl coming from the woman standing in front of them.
"Birth certificate, finger prints, blood records, and DNA samples. Anything else?" the man asked handing over a file. "You're on your own."
Shaw's eyes narrowed as she looked through the paper work and sighed. "All right I'll take you to her," Shaw sighed turning and walking off.
The man and woman looked at each other before following. They stopped at Room 122 and Shaw slowly opened the door.
"Miss Granger this is…"
"Oh Hermione baby are you okay?" the woman asked running to her daughter and giving her a one arm hug.
"They went way to far this time Peanut. Mags is going to get you back," the man smiled with a wink.
"Y-you mean…I…I get to stay with you…m-mama?" Hermione asked with tears in her eyes looking at the woman.
With tears in her eyes she nodded and hugged the child again as they both cried happily.
