~OoOoOoOo~

A jump in the bed startled Hermione, "Get up Auntie get up!" Teddy's voice came from the end of her bed.

Hermione grinned and shot up scaring Teddy, "What are you doing here?"

Teddy sprung off the bed, landing on his knees, "Ouch! It is breakfast time. Uncle Harry got us portkeys to come and see your new home!" He raced out of the room and down the stairs.

Hermione shook her head and ran a hand through her hair, her fingers getting caught in knots. She quickly yanked her fingers out, hoping they got her up early enough for her to take a shower before she left.

"Good morning everyone," she announced her presence as she walked into the kitchen.

"Hermione. You look like you slept well." Andromeda turned away from the stove, carrying a plate of her blueberry pancakes over to the table, and gestured to the rats nest above her hair.

"Yeah well when Ginny makes you drink like she's never gonna see you again, you can't sleep any other way." Hermione pulled out a chair to sit next to Teddy.

"Me and Gin have the day off today so the four of us were going to come with you?" Harry spoke with uncertainty.

"Oh you don't have a choice," Ginny bounced in the kitchen, her braid flopping on her shoulder, "I called in sick - we are going to Bulgaria."

"Perfect. Let's eat so I can get ready." Hermione quickly dug into Andromeda's famous pancakes.

~OoOoOoOo~

"Hurry! We will be late!" Hermione darted out of the floo at the Ministry, stopping to pull Teddy up in her arms and halfway running to the lifts.

Everyone laughed but picked up speed as they headed into the lift before the doors slammed shut.

"That was a close one!" Teddy yelled into Hermione's ear, "I can't wait to see your new place Auntie."

"Me either, love," Hermione replied with a smile, willing the lift to go faster.

Once the doors opened the group practically ran down the hallway rushing to the Minister's office.

"Cutting it close, you five," Kingsley voice boomed as he opened his office door, holding a snow globe in his hands.

"Sorry, time got away this morning. Thanks again for letting us come," Harry stepped forward to shake the Minister's hand.

"No problem. Now Hermione, this snow globe of Diagon Alley is the portkey but it is also a keepsake from me, hopefully you won't forget about us over there."

Kingsley put the ball into her hands, his smile tinged with sadness.

Hermione quickly threw her arms around Kingsley and whispered thanks in his ear before throwing him a smile and stepping closer to the group so they could all touch the globe.

~OoOoOoOo~

The group landed a room that was bare except for two fireplaces and two doors. After a quick exploration, they found that one lead to a restroom and the other into a hall, where a woman with bright blue hair was hurrying to meet them.

"Oh you must be Hermione?" The women asked in perfect English, "My name is Elizabeth, I was sent here by the headmaster to bring you to his office."

Hermione stepped forward, "That would be me, my family unexpectedly came with me. May I have a day to settle in? Wait...his office? I thought Ivyonna was the headmistress?"

Elizabeth laughed, "No Ivyonna is second in command. I guess he wants to surprise you. He is crazy. No matter I will take you to your house and then I will call you tomorrow to see what time I should pick you up."

Hermione started at Elizabeth, trying to figure out if she was pulling the wool over her eyes. "That sounds good I guess. Will we get there by floo?"

Elizabeth walked over to the fireplace, "Yes - we are currently in our Ministry of Magic but you don't have to do anything as your Minister had sent everything over this morning. Also your magical signature was already recorded when you landed here. Just shout out 'Hermione's house', and I will see you on the other side." Elizabeth was gone in a flash of green.

Harry stepped forward, obviously as confused as Hermione, "That was so weird. I'll go first and make sure it isn't a trap."

He grabbed some floo powder and called out his destination, making sure, as he always did after his first misadventure with the floo, to enunciate. The rest of the group rolled their eyes at his heroic tendencies but waited five minutes and then followed Harry's lead.

Hermione was the last out of the fireplace, still holding onto Teddy. She placed him on the ground and looked out at her house: the fireplace was to the left of a long brown L shaped couch, which was in front of a TV. The kitchen had a bar that overlooked the living room and had a view of the television. She ran her hands down the bare hallway and noted five other rooms. Glancing in at each one she, noted four bedrooms and one office with a large library within. She walked back to the living room to see Elizabeth conversing with Ginny.

"Is everything set up okay?" Elizabeth ended her conversation to look at Hermione, "Your parents came by and helped. All of the bedrooms have their own bathroom and you saw your office. In the kitchen you have all Muggle appliances, we are able to get them working. I left some takeout menus on your counter, they are all just down the road. Most of them deliver but your parents house is ten minutes down the road. I also left my number and address if you need me. I will be here around noon tomorrow if that works?"

Hermione stepped forward to shake the woman's hand, smiling gratefully now that she had ascertained that she was genuine, "That sounds perfect. Thank you for doing this. How will my friend get a portkey back?"

Elizabeth walked over to the fireplace, "Oh I forgot, if they don't mind being back around noon I can come with one or I can send on earlier."

Harry spoke for all of them, "Noon sounds perfect. Thank you."

Elizabeth waved her hand, "No worries, see you all tomorrow. Good bye."

"Well, Teddy I think you should go pick a room. I figure I will get the one right by the office. Teddy and Andromeda can get their own room. Harry and Ginny if you think you will come here often pick a room and then we can have a guest bed," Hermione waved her wand to unshrunk her bags and trail them behind her as she unpacked.

~OoOoOoOo~

They were munching on the Thai food they had ordered from one of the many takeaway menus that Elizabeth had left for them.

"So you like your room Teddy?" Ginny had finished her food first.

"Yes. It's so large and I can change the colour of the walls whenever I want!" Teddy yelled, his hair brightening from a mousy brown to a bright yellow even though his head was drooping sleepily over his dinner.

The adults smiled and finished their food, "So Andy, will you go back tomorrow or stay here though the week?" Hermione waved her hand so the empty plates went to the sink and started to wash themselves.

"I think we will go back and then just visit on the weekend, you will probably be busy reading those books you got sent and making plans." Andromeda stood up and pulled the now fast asleep Teddy out of his chair. "I better put him to bed, we will see you in the morning. Good night."
