Missing Home
Chapter 2
Hades paced around his bedroom as Persephone sat on the bed reading a book, blatantly ignoring her husband.
"I just, I don't know what to do? They're after her, I can sense it Seph but I can't do anything without shifting the balance!" Hades fumed as his shoulder length wavy black hair flew behind him as he paced furiously.
"I love Mya, you know that Hades, but we can't help her. She needs to do this for herself otherwise we could seriously screw up fate and you and I both know that would fuck everything up." Seph lifting her gaze to Hades black eyes before giving him a stern look.
"She's my daughter Seph….and I can't do anything to save her from harm." Hades face paled as he thought of Hermione hurt. Seph could sense her husband's pain as he thought of his daughter hurt, climbing out of bed she walked towards him and wrapped her arms around his lean waist.
"Have faith in our daughter Hades, she will be fine we made sure that she would be when we dipped her in the river Styx and made sure we coated her wrists, neck and ankles, we didn't make the same mistake Thetis did with Achilles. We have watched over Mya since she was born, Acheron and the rest of his men have taken good care of her. Have faith Hades, she is your daughter." Seph gave Hades a soft reassuring kiss on his cheek before nuzzling his neck.
"She may not be my daughter by blood, but in my heart I am her mother," Seph said as she thought of Hermione.
"I know, you're a great mother Seph." Hades' voice was rough with emotion as he looked at his wife.
"I love you Hades," Seph murmured before her lips descended onto his, Hades gave a manly grumble before he murmured against her soft lips, "I love you too Seph,"

Zarek idly
flicked through the different channels on TV, finding nothing
interesting he switched it off and headed toward the stereo. Putting
the volume on full blast Hair of the Dog by Nazareth blared
through the BOSE speakers. He let his mind drift back to when
Hermione was less than 2 weeks old and he had tried to stop her
crying.

FLASHBACK
"Come on baby girl, stop crying," Zarek said as he rocked
the pink bundle of blanket in his arms trying to get Hermione to stop
crying. Her face was red from screaming, her nose was leaking and
tears were streaming down her face. "Shit! Okay think Zarek
what songs to people sing to kids?" Zarek said out load to himself,
he continued to rock Hermione side to side in a soothing gesture in
hopes that she would calm down. "WHAAA!!!" Hermione
screamed louder as Zarek began to sing in a terribly off key
voice. "Twinkle, twinkle little star…" "SHUT UP
Z!!" Ash said as he flashed into the room, his finger in his ears
as Hermione's screams began to cut into his skin. "I can't
Ash, she's keeps crying. I've fed her, burped her, and even
changed her diaper and nothing!" Zarek yelled back at Ash who had
currently died his hair bright purple. "FUCK!" Zarek
yelled in anger as he kicked his stereo, suddenly Hair of the Dog by
Nazareth blasted through the stereo. Hermione's cries instantly
stopped as the rock music filled her ears. Both Zarek and Ash gave a
laugh as they watched the child in Zareks' arms became quiet and
begin to drift off to sleep. "Do me a favour Z, don't ever
try to sing again, you can't sing for shit and you're tone deaf.
Normal kids are happy with Twinkle, Twinkle, but not our edera, she
needs hard core rock to fall asleep. Next time you want her to go to
sleep Z play that and please don't attempt to sing again. Later."
Ash flashed himself out of the house and back to Sanctuary to finish
off his beer. Zarek gave a small smile as he watched Hermione
sleep peacefully as rock music filled the air; giving the sleeping
baby a smirk he headed towards the nursery to place her sleeping form
inside the crib. END OF FLASHBACK

Zarek headed towards
his bedroom, clad in only his leather trousers as Snare walked
in.
"Dude, what have I told you about walking about half naked? Can you please put some clothes on! You don't see me walking around in just my boxers' do you?" Snare snarled at Zarek. Zareks black eyes met Snares emerald green ones.
"Listen here punk; this ain't your house, its mine. Therefore, if I wanna walk around naked I will and there ain't anything you can do about it. Got it?" Zareks rough voice cut through the silence.
"Damn man, I knew you missed Mya but…"
"Shut up Snare, while you're ahead, before I do something that I may regret later on." Zarek said as he stormed off back to his room and closed the heavy door behind him.
"That guy really needs to learn some manners, and get laid." Snare muttered to himself as he began to busy himself around the large kitchen getting ready to make that nights dinner. Snare ran his hand through his dirty blond hair as the phone began to ring. As Snare grabbed the phone off its cradle, Zareks door swung open.
"Hel- " Snare glared at Zarek as the cordless phone was ripped out of his hands.
"Baby girl is that you?" Zareks voice was thick with emotion as he talked to Hermione.
"Hey Uncle Zarek," Hermione answered her voice light and cheery.
"How's school?" Zarek leaned against the granite counter as he talked to Hermione; Snare gave the older man a pointed glare before he carried on preparing the dinner for tonight.
"Yeah he's here, why? what do you want with him?" Snare stopped what he was doing and turned back to Zarek with questioning eyes.
"She wants to talk to you," Zarek said as he held out the cordless phone, raising a questioning eyebrow Snare grabbed the phone and held it to his ear.
"Hey Mya, how's school?" Snare had a small smile on his face as heard Hermione's answer.
"Shit, 'cause I miss everyone but it's okay, I guess." Hermione gave a great sigh through the phone; Snare could tell something was bothering her.
"What's wrong?" Snare gave a sigh as he leaned against the kitchen worktop and crossed his muscular arms over his broad chest.
"Nothing, I just miss you all,"
"Aww Mya's missing us," Snare gave a chuckle as he heard Hermione snort through the phone.
"Yeah, yeah I miss you okay? Is that such a crime?"
"No, it isn't. Just to let you know I think Z's going through withdrawal symptoms from you." Both Hermione and Snare let out a chuckle before Snare said anything.
"Guess what?" Hermione said happily, Snare gave a dramatic sigh before answering,
"What?"
"Harry, Ron and I knocked out a troll yesterday! It was hilarious!" Hermione said as she giggled into the phone, Snare gave a small chuckle, he could imagine Hermione getting into some sort of trouble whilst at school, but a troll?"
"I bet it was, but don't tell, not the same as killing a Daimon huh?"
"No, but I guess I'll have to made do with knocking out trolls, huh?"
"Guess you will Mya. So guess what I'm making for dinner tonight?" Hermione's voice grew suspicious before she answered, "What?"
"You're
favourite," Hermione gave a groan in frustration,
"You are so
evil. You know how much I love your bangers and mash with extra
chunky gravy and all the veggies, so unfair Snare!" Hermione
wined
"Don't worry Mya, I promise to make you some when you come back at Thanksgiving." Hermione gave hiss of happiness "Yes!" Snare laughed at her reaction.
"Look, I gotta go but say hi to everyone for me. Love ya." Hermione said before she put down the phone.
"Be good Mya. Love you too." Snare gave a chuckle of amusement as Hermione put down the phone. Snare had known Hermione for 3 years, he had been reallocated via the Squire Council to move from Paris to London to serve Zarek and Hermione. Snare gave a small smile as he remembered the day he first met Zarek and the little spitfire Hermione Granger.
HGDMHGDMHGDMHGDMHGDM Snare pulled his tan leather jacket closer to his body as the
clod English wind blew against him as he stepped out of his Jag.
Closing his door he headed to the boot and popped it open and grabbed
his leather duffel and laptop, slamming the boot closed he locked his
convertible Jag and headed towards the heavy double oak doors.
Reaching into his pocket he pulled out the set of house keys Ash had
sent to him, taking a deep breath of courage he placed the key into
the lock and pushed open one of the doors. Snare had heard
all about Zarek. Word was that he sucked human women's blood just
for shits and giggles and that he would kill you just because you
looked at him wrong, rumours were that he was psychotic and just that
single piece of information sent shivers up Snares spine. Snare
dropped is black duffel on the marble floor as he headed towards the
light at the end of the hallway. His heavy boots made a soft 'thunk'
sound as he walked across the black marble flooring, Snare swallowed
thickly as he saw Zarek with his back to him near the sink. Snare
could feel his heart beat twice as fast as he gently opened the heavy
mahogany door that was the entrance to the huge kitchen. Zarek
instantly turned as he heard the soft squeak of the kitchen door
being opened, his midnight black eyes glared murderously at
Snare "Who the fuck are you?" The glacial, hostile glare
chilled him even more than the frigid winds. "Umm Ash sent
me. I'm your new squire." Zarek just glared at him, awkwardness
filled the air until Hermione came running into the room, her
pigtails bouncing as she ran towards Zarek. "Uncle Zarek!
Uncle Zarek! I broke it!!" Hermione jumped onto him, which he
easily caught and held her tightly in his arms. "You broke
what?" Snare could sense Zareks' voice softening slightly as he
talked to the eight year old girl. Hermione began twirling one of her
pigtails as she looked at her godfather with huge brown eyes that
began to fill with tears. "The video player! I broke it and
now I can't watch Beauty and the Beast!" tears began to fall from
Hermione's eyes as she looked at Zarek, her arms were wrapped
around his neck as she buried her head into his neck as she
cried. "Fix it Uncle Zarek," Zarek gave a soft chuckle as
he slowly rocked Hermione side to side, his large hand rubbing
soothing circles across her back. "How about I come in, see
what I can do and if I cant fix it I'll buy you a new video player,
okay?" Hermione's head lifted, her brown eyes bright from the
tears she shed and gave a smile, giving her godfather a kiss on the
cheek she jumped down onto the floor. It was only then she noticed
Snare standing at the kitchen doorway. "Who are you?"
Snare gave the eight year old a smile before he held out his
hand. "Damien Snare, Dorean Squire at your service, you
are?" Hermione raised an eyebrow looked back at Zarek before
holding out her small hand to shake his large one. "Hermione
Granger, daughter of Hades, nice to meet you." Snare gave a small
chuckle at the girl before letting go of her hand. "Baby
girl, why don't you go to your room and I'll come there in a
second to see what you've done to the video player, 'kay?"
Hermione looked back at her godfather nodded her head and walked
off. "MAKE SURE YOU DON'T KILL HIM!! AKRI WILL BE MAD IF
YOU DO!!" Hermione yelled back as she headed towards her room,
Zarek gave a small chuckle at his goddaughter before his face turn
serious again. "You give me lip little boy and I will shred
you to pieces, there wont be enough of you to go through a sieve,
understand?" The air around Zarek turned cold and intimidating as
he walked closer and closer to Snare. Snares green eyes widened as
Zarek came closer; clearing his throat he opened his mouth to say
something. "I understand," Snares voice came out
surprisingly strong, no trace of a quiver or shake, Zarek gave an
approving nod before turning away and heading towards his
goddaughters room to see what she had done to the video
player. Snare let his body slump against the kitchen door in
relief as Zarek walked away, he just hoped Zarek didn't get bored
one day and decided to kill him just for shit and giggles. END

"Oi idiot!" Zarek yelled at Snare as he stared off into space, grabbing a kitchen towel he chucked it at the 20 year old knocking him out of his trance.
"Huh, what?" Snare said as he looked at Zarek. Zarek gave him a snarl before turning away and heading towards his room.
"I'm going hunting!" Zarek yelled as he walked back, Snare rolled his eyes and turned back to the ingredients that he had gathered on the kitchen counter and resumed making the dinner.
HGDMHGDMHGDMHGDMHGDM
Hermione looked around the mostly empty Great Hall, sighing she looked back at her laptop to see who was online. Running her mouse over the different names she clicked on several to start chatting with them.
"Hermione Granger, right?" a voice said from beside her said, Hermione turned her attention to the person next to her. Instantly her heart began to speed up as she saw Draco Malfoy standing beside her.
"Yeah. Draco Malfoy, right?" The blond nodded and sat next to her on the wooden bench, his grey eyes looked at her laptop confused.
"What's that?"
"A laptop," Hermione brows furrowed in confusion as she looked at him, doesn't he know what a laptop is? "What's a laptop?" evidently not . Hermione looked at him before attempting to explain to him what it was.
"It's a device that you can communicate to other people with. It's confusing, I don't really know how to explain it," Hermione said as she looked at his face. Malfoy shrugged his shoulders and looked back at her.
"So, I want wondering….what type of powers do you have?" Hermione's brows furrowed as she looked at him, a small smirk appeared on his face as he leant in closer.
"I saw you flash that broom into you hand that day instead of commanding it do, tsk, tsk naughty Granger." Malfoy whispered to her, heat flushed Hermione cheeks as she realised what he was talking about.

FLASHBACK
Hermione followed Ron and Harry as they walked onto the
grass brooms in hand. "That is such a cool broom, I wish my
parents had brought me a Nimbus 2000!" Ron exclaimed as he saw
Hermione's broom. She gave him a confused look, it was just a brook
for Zeus sake! "It's just a broom Ron," "A
BROOM! A BROOM! It's not just a broom; it's the fastest broom out
there! And you say it's just a broom!" Ron exclaimed, Hermione
shook her head and Harry did the same as Ron carried on rambling
about her broom and how good it was. "How did you afford it
Hermione, I mean they are really expensive?" Neville asked her as
he walked beside her. Hermione looked down at the broom in her hand
and shrugged. " "Miss Granger, Mr Longbottom hurry up, we haven't got
all day!". Both Hermione and Neville quickened their pace towards
the group. Madam Hooch made them stand in two rows facing on another,
she then asked them to place their broom on the floor on their right.
"Right, now all of you put your right hands out above your
brooms and say 'up'" All could be heard were a chorus of 'ups'.
Hermione had said it a few times, she saw Harry say it once and his
broom fly into his hand and scowled. Sighing in defeat, she quickly
glanced around her making sure no one was looking, clicked her
fingers and the broom instantly appeared in her hand. Giving a smug
smile she looked around acting like she had just commanding the broom
into her hand just like everyone else had. Malfoy's grey
orbs lit up in amusement as he watched Hermione flash the broom into
her hand, he had nearly laughed as he watched her smile smugly as she
looked around at her class mates. Shaking his head, he watched as she
gave a small smirk at Harry and Ron. END OF FLASHBACK
HGDMHGDMHGDMHGDMHGDM
"Well, it's not
like I have to travel anywhere on a broom is it? I'll just flash
there won't I?" Hermione said, quiet proud of herself that she
had come up with that answer.
"But that wasn't the point of flying lesson, was it Granger?" Malfoy tauntingly whispered to her, before Hermione could say anything Harry and Ron appeared.
"Oi Malfoy, stay away from her!" Harry yelled into the quiet of the Great Hall, Malfoy gave a soft chuckle.
"Looks like your body guards are here. Don't worry, its our little secret." Malfoy said as he got up from his seat beside her and gave her a wink before walking off away from her.
"You okay?" Harry said as he sat beside her, his green eyes filled with worry, Hermione gave him a smile before answering, "I'm fine, go back to the common room I'll meet you there soon, I just need to catch up with some of my godfathers," Harry gave a nod and then looked down at her laptop.
"How does that work here in Ho-" Before Harry could say any more Hermione cut him off.
" Akri did something to it so it works here as well. Don't ask me how he did it, but he did." Hermione just shrugged her shoulders before looking back at Ron and Harry.
"See you back at the Common Room?" Ron said, Hermione nodded and the boys walked off. Biting her lip, Hermione turned her attention back to the computer screen, she had 3 IM.
Nick: Hey chèr how's school?
Mya: Crap, miss everyone
Nick: Aww poor Mya
Mya: Oh shut it Gautier, you sound just like Snare
Nick: LOL! Anyway, got to go, I can hear, "get your ass here, boy" already. See you next week for Thanksgiving. Laters' chèr .
Mya: Say hi to Uncle Kyrian for me!
Nick has logged off
Smiling to herself, Hermione logged off and headed towards the Gryffindor tower, her eyes fell heavy as soon as she fell onto the bed and in minutes she was asleep. Hades flashed into the room and watched his daughter sleep peacefully, grabbing a near by blanket he gently covered her and placed a loving kiss onto her forehead. Leaning down he whispered into her ear.
"I love you Hermione, never doubt that. Keep safe, daughter of mine, and remember keep your friends close but your enemies closer." He instantly flashed back to the Underworld where Seph was waiting for him.
"Did you say anything?" Seph asked, Hades lean form walked towards her.
"No, nothing. I can't risk upsetting the Fates, and screwing up the future," Hades said as he sat down on this throne that was made of Titan bones. His black throne had been polished until it gleamed steel. Hard and intimidating as the god had intended, it dominated the dais where it sat. Beside him Seph sat in her gold throne, that was cushioned with pillow the color of blood, she gave her husband a sad smile.
"We can't do anything else love, you have warned her that is enough." Hades gave her a sad smile before leaning in to kiss her. Hades only hoped it was enough to save her life.
