Chapter 2

New Plan

Driving up to #4 privet drive the Aurers who had collected Hermione made ready to exit the car. Upon parking they did just that.

Striding up the walk they began to hear yells of pain. Both of the women grabbed their wands, and ran to the door. The taller of the two kicked the door in. what they saw was almost more horrid than the one they saw earlier that afternoon; a boy covered in blood with an obviously broken wrist cowering on the ground before a fat man.

"STOP!" the shorter, blonde, woman yelled at the man, "you are under arrest for the abuse of a child under your care!" she locked his limbs, cast one more spell and the man was gone. The other woman walked up to Harry and healed his wounds after the quick documentation process.

The woman who had tended to the wounds also collected the boy before apparating away with a loud crack. The blonde woman left the scene in a similar fashion 3 minutes later with Hermione.

Hermione looked around the room she was now in. it was the same one as earlier but it was now occupied by one more than the original number, a small boy with raven hair and green eyes.

She walked up to him, and reached out a hand, "You must be Harry? Nice to meet you."

He took her hand, "and who are you" he asked with a shaking voice.

"you should probably ask them," she said motioning to the two women, "they know better than I at this point."

The women sat him down and they all talked about what would happen next.

"…Your parents stated in their will that you," the tall woman, Marietta, motioned toward Harry, "were to be left with Serious black, but seeing as how he is in prison… we cannot allow that. There are, however, other families you two could go to."

"Are any of them related to us?" Harry asked.

"No, sorry, but there are some who have kids your own age and some who have no kids, you just have to choose," Said the blond.

"One with kids," they said simultaneously.

A week later saw the two new-found siblings, on their way to a house with a family called, the Weasleys.

When they arrived they had small backpacks, filled with their essentials and pockets full of coins.

They looked at their new home, and looked at each other, this was a big house. Just then a, rather large woman rushes out of the front door and comes out to hug them both.

She swoops them up into the promised hug. "Hello, darlings, come on in its time for lunch!" she said when she put them down.

The lunch was delicious and meeting their new "siblings" was fun too, they had five older brothers a brothers, a brother who was their age and a little sister, their names were: Charlie, Bill, Fred and George (twins), Percy, Ron, and Ginny.

The years just flew by… Harry and Hermione became very close with their brother ron and their sister Ginny. Hermione also became close to Harry, so close that the two were more inseparable than Fred and George, and that was saying something!

When it came time for the three of them to go to Hogwarts, molly didn't know what she was going to do; she couldn't afford to send all of them. She would have to take out a loan, so on the kids' birthday, after purchasing them each a small gift, she made her way to Gringotts bank to take out said loan.

As she walked in the door she heard one of the goblins say, "Oh here she is now!"

Molly looked around, had someone walked in behind her? No? then it was her… oh no!

An hour later she left the bank with new found knowledge of the accounts and the ability to take all three kids school shopping.

As it turns out both kids had inherited a trust fund (two separate trust funds) and Hermione had inherited the life-worth of her adoptive parents and her aunt. That was plenty of money to get the two kids through school. She would be able to buy them good gifts too.

When molly got home that afternoon the house was all decorated up for her younger set of twins' birthday party. She set out the wrapped packages on the table. She watched all the children, hers and otherwise, and was glad she had fostered these two, they were such good influences.

Cake was eaten and candles were blown out, soon it was time to unwrap the gifts.

Harry started, he unwrapped a long box that seemed to be too heavy to be that small inside was another box which read: Warrington's custom broom store. He couldn't have gotten a broom it was too expensive! They couldn't afford it! He opened the box. Inside was a brand new, beautiful madrona wood broom. He was so excited! It was even better than all his brothers!

"It's a seekers broom Harry." Said Molly, excitedly, "I figured you would want to become one."

Horry got up to hug his mother, "thank you so much!" he exclaimed. He couldn't wait to give it a go!

Hermione was next to open a present. It was a rather small and long pakage. She neatly peeled away the wrapping to reveal a box that read "Flourish and Blots' miniature book sets." She gently pulled away the top cover of the box and gasped when she saw it, the unabridged edition of the Oxford English Dictionary, 20 volumes.

Hermione's reaction was similar to Harry's.

It was Harry's turn again. His second gift looked similar to Hermione's first. He opened it to reveal the abridged version of the oxford English dictionary, 3 volumes. Harry was thrilled though not as much so as he was by his first gift.

Hermione began to open her second which, like Harry's second, resembled Harry's first. She pulled away the paper and opened the box. It was a broom, madrona just like Harry's but it was different' it had D rings, and looked, well, more comfortable.

"It's a traveler's broom, sweetie," molly explained, "I now that's the only way you ride most of the time so I figured that was the best choice."

Hermione smiled, "Thank you! That was very thoughtful!"

The last gift, they were told, they were to open at the same time. They did and both were very happy with the presents. New books! Harry's was entitled "Charms For Quidditch Players" and Hermione's was "Charms For Musicians" inside the front cover of both their books was a small slip of paper that had Olivander's signature on it and read: One Handcrafted Wand to the holder of this paper. They both were exited.
