"Daddy, I'm home" Hermione said smiling as she walked inside the house.
"There you are, I was hoping you'd get home soon, I've decided I'm going to go to the next village, I hear they have a few shops we don't have here, and I want to check out the supplies" He said smiling
"Oh, ok" Hermione said staring out the window a bit distracted
"Hermione, are you alright?" Her father asked moving to stand in the door way
"Daddy, do you think I'm...odd?" She asked not turning to look at him
"My daughter odd? Where did you get an idea like that?" He asked with a sad smile
"I don't know. It's just that, well, people talk." Hermione said sighing, she couldn't believe she was letting this get to her; she was Hermione Granger for heavens sake
"They talk about me, too." Her father said with a smile "No, we're not odd, its true, No fam'ly ever saner, Except one uncle who...well, maybe let that pass, In all you say or do, You couldn't make it plainer, You are your mother's daughter; therefore you are class,"
"So I should just accept, I'm simply not like them," Hermione said softly shaking her head
"They are the common herd, And you should take my word, You are unique: crème de la crème" He said with a smile as he pulled her away from the window "No matter what you do, I'm on your side, And if my point of view, Is somewhat misty-eyed, There's nothing clearer in my life, Than what I wish and feel for you, And that's a lot...No matter what"
"No matter what they say, you make me proud, I love the funny way, you stand out from the crowd" Hermione said kissing her father on the cheek
"It's my intention my invention, Shows the world out there one day, Just what we've got..."
"No matter what"
"Now some may say all fathers just exaggerate" He said smiling as he began waltzing with her
"That ev'ry daughter's great?"
"You are!" He said spinning her around
"And ev'ry daughter tends to say her father's tops" Hermione said bowing gracefully
"She pulls out all the stops, to praise him" Her father sang smiling as they waltzed from room to room
"And quite rightly!" She said smirking
"No matter what the pain, we've come this far, I pray that you remain, exactly as you are, this really is a case of father knowing best" He sang smiling at her as he spun her around once again
"And daughter too!" Hermione said laughing
"You're never strange" He said looking at her seriously
"Don't ever change"
"You've all I've got, No matter what." They ended together
"I must be off now, stay near the house while I'm gone, I don't trust these people here" He said kissing her forehead
"Here daddy, don't forget your scarf, there's a chill coming in tonight, and take Phillipe, you'll get there faster" Hermione said hugging her father.
"I'll be back before you know it" He said riding off. It wasn't long till he found himself lost.
"Well this can't be good" He said to himself as he urged the horse on, the wolves were closing in and he was frightened. Soon the horse was barreling forward. It stopped at a gate. He jumped down and ran in hoping someone could help him here. He walked in the large manor.
"Hello? Is there anyone here?"
"You shouldn't be here sir" A voice called out
"Please, I'm lost; can you please direct me to the nearest village?" He asked looking around for the voice.
"One night couldn't hurt, come on Harry, he's obviously lost and it's late" Another voice said
"Blaize you can't take in everyone who wonders in! You know that he has forbidden it!"
"And I'm done taking orders from him! Come sir right this way" A candelabra spoke as it bounced into the room. "May I inquire upon your name sir?"
"Maurice, I don't understand? How is it you can speak?" Maurice stuttered out
"We are cursed, please this way, I'm sure we can get out warmed up and on your way in the morning, Harry go get Mrs. Malfoy and Luna," He commanded the clock who glared but did as told.
"Come dear sit down and rest, how about some tea" the tea pot said as she poured a cup. He picked it up and was surprised when it giggled
"Sorry, it tickled, I'm Teddy" the cup said with a dreamy smile.
"He's coming!" A feather duster called as she raced in the room.
"Oh dear!" The tea pot called as she and the cup bounced away after the feather duster.
"WHO ARE YOU TO DARE ENTER MY HOUSE?" A voice roared as a beast came into view
"I'm sorry, I was lost and" Maurice stuttered
"Well now that you know, you can never leave!" The beast said dragging the man out of the room
"I told you this couldn't end well Blaize" Harry said with a sigh
"Can't blame a guy for trying" Blaize said sighing as well
