Chapter 2: WHAT?
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot, it all belongs to J.K. Rowling.
"Daddy we've gotta go, we're gonna be late!" 5 year old Hermione Black exclaimed to her father. "Don't worry 'Mione we'll get there on time" Sirius her 26 year old father said as he helped Hermione tie the bow on top of her head. "Uncle Sirius, she looks like a poodle" Draco Hermione's cousin said with a smirk. "Shut up Drake!" Hermione hollered as she jumped up and chased him around the huge living room. "Hermione are you already?" Sirius asked. "Yeah Daddy, you ready?" Hermione asked her father who was walking to the fire place. "Yes, do you know how to use the Floo Draco?" Sirius asked his "nephew". "No, I always go with mum" Draco said as Hermione pulled him to the fireplace. "You take the powder in your hand like this" she said as she put a handful of powder in his hand. "And you step into the fireplace and state your destination CLEARLY, if you don't who knows where you'll end up!" Hermione said as she pushed him into the fireplace. "Now say the Burrow" she ordered as she stepped back. Sirius just watched his daughter with a smile on his face. 'She is so much like her mother' he thought as vivid green flames swallowed Draco. "Ready Daddy?" Hermione asked as she took his hand. "Yes let's go" He said as he smiled down at her. "The burrow!" He shouted as he threw the powder down and he and Hermione were swallowed by the flames.
When they arrived everyone was waiting in the kitchen. "Sorry we're late!" Sirius said as they ran in. "I say it was his fault" Hermione said as she sat next to Ginny. "Thanks Angel" Sirius said with a smile. "No problem Daddy" Hermione said as she smiled at him. "So what have I missed in the 3 hours we've been apart?" Hermione asked Ginny. "Nothing much besides Fred and George pulling this really great prank on Ron!" Ginny exclaimed as Ron's face turned bright red. "Shut it Gin" He said with a fake smile. "No I must tell you this, it was so funny!" Ginny said as Ron threw a hand over her mouth. "She can't tell you, um…" Ron said as his blush got a deeper shade of red. "Fineroniwon'ttell" Ginny muffled. "Huh?" Ron asked as he took his hand off her mouth. "Fine I won't tell" Ginny said with an angelic look. "Yet" she added under her breath. This caused Hermione to laugh so loud and for so long her face started to turn different colors. "'Mione, you okay?" Harry asked from the other side of Ron. "Yeah, I just found that funny" she said with an angelic smile to her pretty face.
"Daddy, can you teach me now?!" Hermione asked her father for the 10th time in 5 minutes. "'Mione, baby, I promise I'll teach you in a little while but for now why don't you go play outside with Ginny and the boys" Sirius said as Hermione stomped. "Come on Hermione let's go" Lily said as she took her hand. "Fine Daddy this isn't over" Hermione huffed as she walked away with Lily. "Wow, has she grown up or what?" James asked as he watched Hermione run towards Ginny. "I know pretty soon, she'll be going off to Hogwarts with Harry and Draco" Sirius said with a thoughtful look. "Do you think Snape will give them a hard time?" Lily asked as she sat down next to her husband. "Probably, but they can handle it" Sirius said as anger flashed through his eyes. "You're right" James and Lily said at the same time.
"Hey, 'Mione do you have your broom?" Ron asked. "No I left it inside with my Dad" Hermione said as she sat down next to Ginny on the ground. "Why, do you want to know Ronnikins?" Fred asked as he and George walked over. "Well, we could always teach 'Mione how to ride" Ron said as a blush crept up his neck. "Oh Ron, that's brilliant!" Hermione said as she hugged him. "DADDY, I WANT MY BROOM!" Hermione yelled as she ran inside. "Why sweets?" Sirius asked as his daughter tore into the kitchen. "Ron said they could teach me, that way you can talk in here with Auntie and Uncle" Hermione said as she sat up on her father's lap. "Okay, but I will be out later to make sure you're okay, and 'Mione be careful!" Sirius cautioned. "Aren't I always?" Hermione asked with a smirk she got from her father as she skipped to the coat rack and picked up her broom.
"I got it" Hermione said as she skipped outside with it in her hand. "Good, now do you even know how to sit?" Fred asked as he came up beside her. "Maybe" Hermione said as she looked away. "Okay, you swing your right leg over the side like this" he said as he grabbed her leg and put it over the side. "A little warning would be nice" Hermione exclaimed as she fell to the ground. "I said like this!" Fred said as he helped her up. "Whatever, what's next?" Hermione asked as Ron walked over. "You lightly push off the ground" Ron said as Hermione did it. "Okay what next?" Hermione asked as she plopped back down to the ground. "Now you push off harder and stay in the air" George said as he and Ginny walked over. "Okay, like this?" Hermione asked as she levitated off the ground. "Yes now, with your hands you steer yourself" Draco said as he and Harry came over to make sure she was okay. "Alright, here I go" Hermione said nervously. As she rose higher and higher she became nervous. The broom started going faster and faster and Hermione couldn't slow it down. "Stop it!" Hermione yelled as she nearly avoided a tree. "DAD, DAD HERMIONE NEEDS YOU!" Harry yelled as he ran towards the house. James stormed out of the house with Sirius nipping at his heels. He instantly pulled out his wand and pointed at Hermione, "HAULT" He shouted. The broom stopped so suddenly, Hermione went flying off the front of it. "AHHHHHH!" Hermione screamed as she fell to the ground. "Hermione, are you okay?!" Sirius asked as he ran to her side. "Daddy, I think my arm's broken" she as she smiled through her tears. "Really, you're never going to ride that death trap again!" Sirius exclaimed as he picked her up and brought her into the house.
"Oh dear I don't believe I can fix it, you'll have to bring her to St. Mungo's, Dear" Molly said as she studied Hermione's arm. "HERMIONE ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!" all the children shouted as they ran into the house. "Yes, it doesn't even hurt" Hermione said with a smile. "Is she okay Mum?" Ginny asked her mother with tears in her eyes. "Yes dear she will be but, she must go to the hospital to fix it" Mrs. Weasley said to her daughter. "Hermione I'm sorry I should have taught you myself" Sirius said. "No, daddy this would've happened even if you taught me" Hermione said as she smiled at the Weasleys. "You're right I guess" Sirius said as he hugged his daughter. "Daddy, may we go to the hospital now?" Hermione asked as she got up and walked towards the door. "I shall see you all later" Hermione said as she waved goodbye with her good hand.
About 6 years later Hermione was still fighting with her father to let her ride a broom. "Dad honestly I'm going to Hogwarts in less than 1 week do you expect me not to try out for the Quidditch team?!" Hermione yelled at her father Sirius. "No Hermione I don't think you will disobey me like that! I told you NO!" Sirius screamed back. "Dad I broke my arm when I was FIVE, I'm not gonna do it again!" Hermione yelled. "YOU WILL NOT RIDE A BROOM EVER!" Sirius hollered at his daughter. "Daddy that isn't FAIR!" Hermione pleaded. "Yes it is, now this is over!" Sirius said and Hermione knew it was over, she lost. Hermione ran outside and slammed the door behind her. "I can't believe him, I was FIVE!" Hermione yelled to no one. "Well, I guess he just doesn't get that" a voice came up behind her. "I know Harry, he doesn't care that it wasn't my fault!" Hermione huffed. "It's okay, 'Mione we go to Hogwarts in a little while and the only reason he's saying no is because he cares" Harry said as he wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
"What do you think it's gonna be like?" Ginny Weasley asked her best friend Hermione. "I don't know really, but I hope I can have more freedom than I do at home" Hermione sighed as she lay back on Ginny's bed. "Don't worry you will" Fred said as he, George, Ron and Draco walked in. "Where's Harry?" Hermione asked. "Ha had to leave to get some things from Diagon Alley" Ron said as he plopped down beside Hermione. "Leave it to him to wait 'till the last minute to get his stuff" Hermione said with a smile. "I'm so gonna miss you guys" Ginny said as a tear rolled down her cheek. "Don't worry Gin we'll be home in like 4 months" Fred said as he sat next to her and George on the other. "Not you guys Hermione and Ron" Ginny said impatiently. "Oh well like they said we'll see you in like 4 months!" Hermione said happily. "I guess you're right" Ginny said as she hugged Hermione. "HERMIONE IT'S TIME TO GO HOME!" Sirius yelled up the stairs. "Well I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow, Gin you'll be there tomorrow right?" Hermione asked as she walked out the door. "You know it" Ginny said with a smile.
