The door finally opened, out came a gorgeous woman with light skin,brown and honey colored hair that had been tamed (it was also wavy), wearing a pair of midnight blue high heels,black leather tights,a white blouse, an expensive leather jacket and she was also on her arm was the new Prada handbag.
Both Ashley's and Alesha's jaw dropped.
"Is that our cousin Hermione?" Alesha finally gasped
Sure enough as the mysterious woman removed her Tory Burch sunglasses, it was indeed their cousin Hermione, with just a bit of mascara,eyeliner and lipgloss on her already perfect face.
"Oh my goodness, is that you Hermione? You look absolutely stunning, years of not seeing you and you come back like this?Wow!"
"Hello Aunt Savannah, it is so nice to see you again."Hermione greeted
She turned back to her parents.
"Sorry if I'm late I had to take care of a certain problem at work." She said giving her parents a kiss on the cheek.
"Not to worry love." Her mom said
"Hello Ashley, Alesha."Hermione greeted, when she saw the two.
"Hello dear cousin,it is absolutely so nice to see you here." She said sarcastically
"But may I ask you why your car is parked in that reserved spot."
"Yeah, you don't want your car to be towed, do you?"Alesha said with an evil grin on her face.
"Oh actually that spot is reserved for me, if you read the sign over there you would see my name."
Indeed it did have her name on it but what was different about it was that there was a letter M following her they brushed that off thinking that it just stood for her middle name or something. They both were still shocked and confuse, about why there was a parking spot for her and what she did to get to the recognition. Both getting over the shock about their cousin, they followed everyone else into the hotel.
"Hello welcome to the Brave Serpent hotel, would you all be checking in."The receptionist named Carlos asked
"Yes, we will."Savannah Granger replied
"Please give me the names of the people accompanying you right now."
"Savannah Granger, Richard Granger, Jean Granger, Dan Granger, Ashley Granger, Alesha Starling, Michelle Starling, Tom Starling and Hermione Granger, the rest of the family will be arriving shortly as well."
"Hermione Granger?" Carlos looked up from his computer to see if THE Hermione Granger was actually in the hotel.
"Oh it is an honor to see you here today Mrs-."Before he could finish the sentence Hermione mouth the words 'not now'.
"I mean ." Carlos said sheephishly
"Pleasure to see you as well, Carlos."
Everyone except Hermione's parents were shock, on why the guy name Carlos greeted her as if she was a were interrupted by the voice of the receptionist in front of them.
"And here are your room keys everyone." Everyone took their keys, and with the help of waiter they were all led to the dining room (that was reserved for them) for dinner.
They all took their seats and ordered what they want fo dinner. Hermione sat in between her parents while Ashley and Alesha sat at the side opposite of her. After half an hour the rest of the family arrived and their food came.
"Omg is that our bushy hair,bucked teeth cousin Hermione?"Veronica asked as she saw Hermione
"Her hair isn't bushy now is it?As for her teeth they're perfectly straight and white as a pearl."Alesha said looking at the smiling witch
"After 10 years, she comes back looking that fabulous wow, and is that the new Prada handbag?"Mackenzie said jealously.
"Ugh,can we stop talking about her now."Ashley said angrily
"Gee, what's got you so riled up."Sabrina asked taking a seat next to her.
"Our dear cousin Hermione."Alesha answered
After everyone finished their dinner, they started to have little conversations with Hermione.
"So, Hermione do you have a job or are you ,still live with your parents." Mackenzie's mom asked
"I moved out of the house 3 years ago actually and I work at Malfoy Enterprises, managing all the bookstores and fashion boutiques."That was partially a lie but why do they need the truth
"Very interesting, Hermione."Savannah said
After a bit of chatting about Hermione's education and school, Ashley examined her cousin and noticed something on her left hand finger.
"Girls look at her ring finger over there."Ashley whispered to girls
"No way, is she married?" Sabrina gasped
"Who would want to marry her, I mean she is so boring and bossy."
"But she does look absolutely stunning, I'll tell you that." Veronica said
With a mischievous smile on her face, Ashley turned back to Hermione.
"Hermione I didn't notice you had a ring on your left hand."
That totally got everyone's attention
"Well...um...I"Hermione stammered
"Goodness my dear, are you married now?"Her aunt Rose said,eyes widen
"Yes, I am."Hermione said bravely
The whole table except her parents gasped.
"Isn't she a bit too young to get married?"Her uncle Richard asked
"What do you mean, I married Jean at that age and I've met the guy, a handsome one I'll tell you."Dan replied
"A perfect and loving gentleman,treats her like a queen."Jean added
"So when can we meet this husband of yours?"Sabrina asked smugly
"He's busy with work right now, he couldn't make it today." Hermione answered
Before any of her cousins could have a say in anything, her aunt was quick to change the subject.
"Now enough of this relationship talk,off to your rooms everyone."Savannah said
With that being said everyone scurried away from the dining room and whisked right up the elevators to their own rooms.
As Hermione and her 4 cousins climbed into the elevator, everyone stood there silently until the elevator bell dinged signalling them they had arrived at their stop.
Hermione entered her own suite while the other girls followed Ashley to her room. Instead of getting ready for bed, they stayed up gossiping all about Hermione.
"I can't believe she's married now."Mackenzie said
"I don't even have a boyfriend yet and she has a husband talk about luck."
"Oh please her husband must be really ugly and boring as her right?"Sabrina said
"Well duh, and have you guys heard the news about Draco Malfoy?" Alesha asked
"Apparently he's married now."
"What?!"
"Yep, he is."
Ashley looked around the room thinking about something interesting to say.
"Did you know that this is one of the many chains of hotels that the Malfoy family owns?"Ashley said
"What if he comes here this weekend?""
"Oh please,like that would happen."
After a few hours of gossiping, they all went back to their rooms and got ready for bed, not expecting any surprises in the morning.
