This story may be a little confusing; I hope you can follow along. This line here/\\//\\/ differentiates between the story and Rose's story.
When it is Rose telling the story, it is in Hermione's POV (point of view)
When it is Saffron telling the story it is in Ginny's POV
I am warning you now that the characters are AU but I hope I got them close.
Chapter 2: The Letter
Once Fred and George dropped Hermione at her room, the adults went to the parlour, the same parlour that she is sitting in now to talk about the situation. "What are we going to do about this?" I said sitting down gently.
"Well he asked me to take care of her he didn't know when he was coming back" Harry said calmly
"Well one thing is for sure that girl did not want to leave the manor" Fred said seriously
"What makes you think she will stay here Harry?" George asked
"Well she won't apparate whilst she is pregnant even she knows the problems that go with that and afterwards I really just have to hope that she will want to stay, she will only be pregnant for a couple more months hopefully she will come to the fact that she is here for the long run and not just a few hours, I was given very specific instructions and we followed them almost completely, the last of which Ron did once we were all out of sight"
"What was that?" Charlie asked
"The house is completely boarded up both magically and by muggle ways, even if she did go back she would not be able to get in, I was given a special spell to signal when she returned to the manor"
"So he was expecting this?" Ron asked
"Yes, he knew it would happen"
"What happened guys?" Demi asked appearing in the room, "Hermione didn't even say hello when she got here and you had her clamped like she was insane or something"
"Hermione didn't want to leave her house, so we forced her"
"You forced a pregnant woman to leave her house?"
"Yes" Ron said like it was the most obvious thing in the world, he was so glad that Luna was not pregnant at the same time as the three of us, it would have been a nightmare for the men.
"No wonder she was like that, I am going to go talk to her"

"Wow, I had completely forgotten about that" Harry said, after a few months it just seemed normal that Hermione was the way she is now, I mean once you and Damien were born she acted like a mother should but she always stayed near a window with a view to the ocean it was so weird, and I now know why"
"Yeah that is how it is told Uncle Harry why do you think she is always saying must keep an eye out on the ocean"
"I knew it was something he told her but I didn't know the meaning behind it, she is a very good conversationalist anymore, more of a blob"
"Harry!!" we heard a scream from the other room and all looked "Harry!!!"
"What is it Hermione?" he asked calmly
"Look a ship he's returned!!" mother said pointing to the horizon
"There is no ship grandmamma" Martin said softly petting her knee
"What, you can't see it?"
"No mom we can't, he's not there, and there is nothing there" I said
"Why do you guys always have to bring me down? Can't you see it, a beautiful ship?"
"Hermione I think you have been staring out at the ocean for way to long, there is nothing there, there won't ever be anything there"
"Why is that?"
"Because Hermione, he is not coming back, he will never come back" he said harshly he told this to her often "drapes!" he shouted and the drapes closed over the windows magically.
"I Hate You, bring me home"
"You are in no position to demand me Hermione this is my house and your husband asked me to take care of you"
"Yeah while I was pregnant, I am not pregnant anymore Harry, if you haven't noticed I do have grandchildren now"
"Oh so you have realized that there are grandchildren and that your twins are grown up, I would have never known all you do is sit in that chair and stare at the ocean, he is not coming back"
"Why not? Why can't you optimistic for once? He is coming back!!"
"He is not coming back Hermione!!!"
"Kids go upstairs alright. Find Aunt Demi" Saffron said and they did as told, we were used to them fighting lately it was the only interaction we got from her. It was no longer her fighting uncle Ron it was Uncle Harry and mom fighting.
"Hermione, he is not coming back"
"Leave me alone please" she said quietly which means that he won that hollow battle. We did as she asked and left her alone.
"Why do you believe that dad will never come back Uncle Harry?" I asked him once we were very out of earshot
"Girls I am sorry to say this but he is dead"
"What?" I asked
"Seriously?" Saffron asked almost immediately after me
"Yes, I know what he went off to do, he explained it all to me and no I am not going to tell you, but I can show you something wait here a sec I am going to pop up an tell Demi we're leaving" he said and Apparated upstairs "okay let's go" he said and we grabbed onto his arms. We appeared at the manor.
"Why are we here?" I asked with tears in my eyes, I never knew him but he was still my father.
"Because it is time you knew, I told Damien a few days ago now it is time to tell you, this house is not really boarded up it is only boarded from her" We went inside the dank boarded up house to find that it wasn't dank but it was very well preserved. We walked to the main sitting room to a room it looked like an office. It was shrouded in newspapers and letters.
"Did you keep these from mom?"
"I was asked to, please don't be mad."
"I am not. Just show me please"
"This is the his last letter, I was supposed to give this one to her but I haven't been able to"
"My dearest Hermione," I read aloud "I am sorry to tell you this but I will not be returning to our home on the coast, father has forced me to sever all ties with you or else I will be killed, I told him to screw off but unfortunately this will be my goodbye I am really sorry pet, I really did want to come back and meet our child, you have absolutely know idea, I bet he or she is as beautiful as you and as intelligent as were both are. I miss you my love and I want you to know that I never stop thinking about you, I wish I could pop over there and see you even for a second, but I cannot. I want to see you, feel you or even fight with you like we used to, anything a second of seeing you would make my life complete. I love you Hermione, please don't ever forget that, I will be in your dreams as you are in mine, I love you but I now have to go I hope this reaches you in time. I will love you forever. Draco Malfoy" I stopped reading and I looked at Saffron and Uncle Harry tears were streaming down my face, as they were on hers. The letter was so beautiful; Uncle Harry could not look me in the eyes.
"I'm sorry rose; I should have given it to her" he said "I'm such an idi…"
"No you shouldn't" I said suddenly
"What why?" Saffron asked
"Look at the state mom is in now, do you think giving her a letter saying that your husband is dead is going to improve her state" I looked at both of them "it will kill her, and I am not ready to lose both parents just yet" I said sternly and besides this does not prove that he is dead, this says he will only be killed"
"Rosie it was the last letter I received from him" he said softly "he is gone"
"No it means that he severed all ties"
"Yes which means his memory of their love is gone too you have never met your grandfather I have Lucius would have made sure that your father memory of their love was erased"
"That still does not prove that he is dead"
"I do not want to go into this again; I went through the exact same thing with your brother"
"Well no shit Uncle Harry he wants to meet father as much as I do"
"Yes but your brother actually went away to find him"
"That's silly Uncle Harry, Damien told me he was going on a business trip"
"Yeah I know I told him to tell you, listen I had to do it this way alright I was asked too"
"The day after we removed Hermione from this house she received a letter from him, I never opened nor will I ever open it. The day after that was when I received my first letter from him he explained everything to me in full detail" he explained that letter there is the last letter I received from him and that was almost 10 years ago.
"Uncle Harry!!" a voice said from outside
