''Albus what am I going to do how am I going to go in there and say 'oh hi this is Jess my daughter, whom I have kept a secret for six years' this is a bad idea I don't think I can tell everyone how I had her in the first place, then there is fudge You know he is just going to love this'' she ran a shaky hand through her hair as she took up pacing.
Albus looked at Hermione pacing ''It will be ok dear, they will understand they may even surprise You yet.'' he smiled ''as for Cornelius well, we have Lucius on our side, he works on the board of governors and on the wizard garment should anything actually comes of this.''
Hermione looked at him and shook her head ''Great that is sorted for now but what about Max he goes to Hogwarts after the summer Albus he will be in just as much danger as me and Harry. Voldomort may be gone but some of the most sadistic Death Eaters escaped what will happen to him when they find out that he is the brother of War Heroine Hermione Granger third member and brains behind the Golden Trio it will be like gold to them they would love to hurt or get a hold of him even jess to punish me.'' she rubbed her hand over her face again ''And jess what am i to do with her i know if Harry is ok with this he will offer us to stay with him but i will need money for them and that means i can't work because I have Jess.''
Minerva went over and pulled the girl into a hug and rubbed her back ''Well Max will be safe in Hogwarts along with Jess no harm will get to them.''
Hermione pulled back with confusion ''And how do You figure that out exactly?''
Albus smiled ''Well that is simple my dear.'' he looked at Hermione and broke into a huge grin ''Well she will be safe at Hogwarts because that is were she will be living along with you my dear we were hoping that you would take over the Position as Transfiguration Professor and head of Gryffindor so Minerva can focus on being Deputy Headmistress.''
To say Hermione was stunned would be an understatement ''B..but i don't have any teaching experience and I don't think that students are going to listen to a eighteen year old well nineteen, Twenty in September due to the time turner.'' she shook her head ''No most of them went to school with us and they are not going to listen to me.''
Minerva shook her head ''You will do brilliantly. you have the highest grades Hogwarts have ever seen, Your caring, Patient, understanding as well as strict and fair. you have helped many students study in the past and many people respect you even a few Slytherin's you will be perfect as you say you are Twenty in a few months.''
Hermione looked up at both Minerva and Albus then looked over to the two children sat on the sofa totally unaware of what is going on or being said well I do need the money? the kids would be safe and perfect place for Jess with Madam Pomfery around and I would love to teach. she stopped her trail of thoughts and looked back to the two adults and gave a grateful smile ''Then i will accept this will be perfect for Jess and my research.''
Albus beamed a smile at Hermione ''Brilliant right well let us go and inform everyone of the new situation.''
Hermione nodded and cancel the silencing spell and called them over ''Max, Jess come on were going to meet my friends''
Max walked over and looked up at his sister while Jess followed behind he looked into her eyes with his own matching chocolate brown eyes ''But Mia what if they don't like me or Jess what are we going to do.'' he looked up worried.
Hermione looked down at her brother with his Messy brown hair and his slim but slightly built frame she ruffled his hair and smiled when he pushed her hand away ''Max Granger you are an amazing child as well as Jess they will love you and don't you worry about a thing you focus on being a child and focus on working hard and i'll deal with all the grown up stuff ok.'' she smiled at him when he nodded and looked at both Minerva and Albus and gestured them to lead the way.
Hermione grabbed her brother's hand and picked her daughter up kissing her on the head as she followed out behind Albus leaving Minerva to follow behind them. Hermione watched as Albus entered the kitchen first, then followed behind him with the kids while Minerva came in last.
Everyone was talking and laughing when they noticed Hermione walk in behind Albus they smiled at her but then that smile turned into one of shock, confusion and interest as they noticed the two kids that were with her she smiled at them all ''Hey guys.''
Molly was the first to pull her self out of shock and being the bubbly caring woman she was ended up being the first to speak ''Hermione.'' she gave her a quick hug and pulled back ''Now then who is this Handsome young man and Beautiful girl?''
Max smiled and looked at Hermione for guidance and when he saw her nodding he looked back he held out his hand and spoke in a clear voice even though it was tinged with some nervousness ''My name is Max and I am Eleven next Friday.''
Molly smiled at the polite boy and shook his hand ''Lovely to meet you, my name is Molly and these are my children Ginny, Ron, Bill the twins Fred and George and my husband Arthur my other children are away at the moment but i am sure you will meet them sometime.'' she then looked to the little girl who was resting her head on Hermione's chest ''Hello dear and what's you're name.
Jess lifts her head up and looked at her mother and then around the room before she looked back at Molly ''i'm Jess and I am six.'' she said holding up six fingers.
Molly's face softened as she looked at the girl who looked the spitting image of Hermione, except the eyes were a shade lighter than Hermione's and the boy. ''Well I'm Molly dear.''
Max looked at his sister and smiled ''Mya you were right Molly is lovely I know why you talk about her a lot now.''
Hermione smiled at him ''That Max is because Molly, Arthur and the rest of the Weasley's are like my family I love them all, as I love everyone in the room.''
Minerva ushered Hermione and the kids over to the table to take a seat she allowed Hermione to sit down first with Jess on her lap then pulled a chair out and placed it in the middle of Herself and Hermione for Max so he would be surrounded Albus took the seat to the left of Minerva.
Albus cleared his throat to gain everyone's attention ''Now as you are all probably wondering who these actually are and why she has them well it is simple although they are here under tragic circumstances Max is Hermione's younger brother and he will be joining Hogwarts of course, seeing a he turns eleven Friday and Jess is Hermione's Daughter.'' he heard everyone gasp but he held up his hand to stop the questions. ''Now we will explain everything to you but i must stress that you all listen with an open mind and do not interrupt or ask questions until you have heard everything, now as you are aware Hermione called for both me and Minerva late last night.'' he watched as everyone nodded ''Well it is because of what happened last night that these children are with us now and they are going to be needing support and protection should anything happen.''
Harry looked at Hermione and could see the pain in her eyes and knew that something bad must have happened he looked at the boy and smiled ''Hello, im Harry, you will love Hogwarts you are lucky to have a sister like Mione she is like my sister as well so I guess i have a little brother as well as a niece.''
Max smiled at Harry ''I know i love Mia she is the best but i would loved to have had a brother someone i could have fun with because Mia is to strict will you tell me some of the thing's you did in school Mia won't tell me she only told me little parts she said that it was in the past, was she always good in school.''
Harry smirked at him and chuckled when he saw the look Hermione shot him ''Yes you're sister was very sneaky and broke many rules when we were in school although she was dedicated to her school work and studied all the time.''
Max looked at his sister in shock ''you broke rules.'' he then turned to Harry ''My sister strict and boring Hermione broke school rules.'' he said it in a shocked high pitch voice.
a couple of people snickered when Hermione looked at Max ''Well i had to Max other wise, Harry would not be sitting here right now and I never did it because I was misbehaving, it was important, but like Harry said I was dedicated and worked hard in school.'' she then snorted ''and i am not strict or boring I just grew up unlike some.'' she said staring at Harry.
Max shook his head ''But your never to old to have fun Mia right Harry.''
Harry smiled 'Right you are kiddo if you like ill show you how to fly a broom and maybe play a little bit of quiditch. your sister don't like heights.''
Max smiled at Harry ''Awesome i want to play Quiditch Albus brought that bowl thing so I could watch the matches you were wicked on a broom.''
Albus and everyone watched the interaction with some amusement when Albus cleared his throat again ''Yes so as I was saying she is going to need lots of support especially with Jess.''
Everyone nodded their heads when Ron got up and glared at Hermione ''YOU HAVE A DAUGHTER! THAT THERE? I AM DISGUSTED IN YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING INNOCENT YOUR NOTHING BUT A WHORE''
Hermione looked shocked at Ron ''Ron please you don't understand and my daughter is not a thing''
Jess looked up at her mother shaking and had tears shining in her eyes ''Mummy what's a W..wh..whore and why is that man shouting at you does he not like me or Max.'' she started to cry.
Max just huddled in closer to Hermione's side before he spoke in a voice ''My Sister isn't what you just said she is a good person she loves both me and Jess with all her heart and my niece is not something she is a human being. just because you don't have manners.''
Ron shook his head in shock ''shut it kid i wasn't talking to you honestly Mione you need to teach that kid some manners.''
Hermione ignores him and looked down at her brother ''Max don't i do not need you getting involved ok.'' she rubbed her daughters back ''Shh it's ok darling Mummy is fine remember what i told you and Max earlier that some people will be surprised.''
Jess looked at her mother ''Yes Mummy like when i get a birthday present and I get a surprise when i open it?''
Hermione smiled and kissed her daughters head ''Yes that's exactly right my clever Beautiful girl your Uncle Harry likes you he loves you and he only just met you.'' she then looked at her brother ''Max do me a favour and take Jess into the living room that we just came from she is upset and you know she needs to be calm, but do not leave.'' she then looked down to her daughter ''Right then my big girl i won't you to go with your Uncle Max while Mummy can talk with the Grown ups.''
Max snorted and said under his breath unaware that people herd him ''huh obviously the boy who shouted isn't an adult.'' he looked up when he saw his sister and everyone looking at him he swallowed but spoke ''What well he is. he isn't acting like an adult the others don't shout.'' he then looked to his niece and helped her down, holding his hand up ''Sorry Mia, come on Jess let's go in the room.''
