Ok, so here is the second chapter. I hope you all like the rewrite. Disclaimer: I own nothing but new characters.
Eleven Years Later….
"Mum! James threw a water bomb at me again!" yelled a raven haired girl. She ran into the kitchen where her mom was currently cooking dinner. "Remember what you said you would do if he threw another one!" Her green eyes flashed with anger.
"Yes, yes, Lily I remember. Just give me two minutes of peace?" Hermione said. She finished stirring the soup and then placed the spoon down. "James Lee Granger! Get yourself down here this second!"
An eleven year old boy came bounding down the stairs, his brown hair bouncing with each step.
"Yes, mum?" He asked innocently. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Don't give me those big brown Bambie eyes. You know why I called you." Hermione replied, tapping her foot in impatience. The twins were always getting themselves into trouble. "Why did you throw a water bomb at Lily?"
"Well, she's the one who shoved me." James accused, pointing a finger at Lily.
"Just because she shoved you does not give you excuse to throw water at her." Hermione replied. She then turned to Lily. "But that does not get you out of trouble either, young lady. What were you thinking, shoving your brother? It's just not nice. No muggle TV for a week for both of you."
They both shouted in disagreement.
"Mum, please, ICarly has a new episode this week!" Lily exclaimed. "Please not the TV!"
"Nope. You both need to treat each other with respect. You're the only family you guys have, save me." Hermione said. "Now go and wash up for dinner. And go get Amy too." The two ran upstairs, shoving each other. Hermione shook her head. Those two got their rambunctious streak from their father. While Lily got her passion from Hermione, she was a perfect replica oh Harry. James had inherited his father's quiet side, but looked just like Hermione, minus the bushy hair. So much had changed in the last eleven years. She had moved to a remote town in West Sussex to raise the children in peace. The only person she had kept in contact with was McGonagall. She had promised not to give away Hermione's location to keep the children safe.
"Mum, we're ready!!" Lily yelled, running down the stairs with her brother and sister in tow. Amy had been adopted only two years after the twins were born. She was a year younger with brown hair and eyes.
"Alright, come sit at the table and we'll start dinner. But don't forget, Lily, this week is your week to clear the table." Hermione said, winking at her daughter.
"Ah, mum, please. Can I not do it tonight?" Lily whined.
"No, you need to help the family out." Hermione replied, passing a bowl of green beans around the table.
"When are we going to get our Hogwart's letter? You said they would come soon." James said through a mouthful of roast.
"And they will. They might even come tomorrow if you're lucky." Hermione said teasingly.
After dinner, Lily cleaned the table and they all sat down to watch a movie. It was then that Hermione sent the children to bed. She then sat down with a quill and paper and started to write a letter.
"Dear McGonagall:
I know it has been months since I have last written, but I would like to bring up the idea we were entertaining the last few letters. With the twins going off to school this fall, I would like to be near them to keep them safe. I know you are looking for a new Charms professor and I would like to remind you of my excellent grades in that subject during my years at Hogwarts. Thank you very much. I look forward to your next letter.
Hermione
She then tied the paper up and sent it to the family owl for it to deliver the letter. Hermione sighed. She hoped she would get this job. Maybe she could even meet some old friends she hadn't seen since school.
Alright guys, here's the next chapter. I'll try to update a chapter once in a while, but it will take me a while, so please be patient! Thanks!
