Hermione reveals a little about her life the past five years...


Chapter 3

In the studio Lavender was in shock watching Hermione walk towards her, she couldn't deny the fact that she looked Hot!

"Wow Hermione, it's lovely to see you after so long" said Lavender greeting the brunette witch.

"Nice to see you too Lavender" replied Hermione as she took a seat next to Daphne.

Lavender turned to her Audience and said "Well ladies and gentlemen, this is a wonderful surprise, it's through us off guard, we will through to a commercial break and be back soon enough."

The light went off on the camera and Lavender took a deep breath before turning to the other two.

"Daph, you owe me big for springing Hermione on me like this!"

"Excuse me, I'm sure your ratings will now go up thanks me" Daphne snapped back at the blond.

"Well they better" grumbled Lavender before going back stage for a drink.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Hermione asked with concern turning to the witch with dark blond hair.

"Hermione relax, I know Lavender has the rep as a big Gossip, but you don't have to reveal anything of your life now that you don't want to, anyway it helps that she's not as perceptive as you and me" Daphne replied with a wink seeing the host walk back on stage.


Meanwhile back the Weasley residence as the show went to a commercial break, the home viewers were still in shock.

"Ron, did you….?" Ginny asked her brother.

"I know what you're going to ask and no didn't know that Daphne had met with Hermione and knew where she was for the last year" he told his sister.

"Daddy what's wrong?" Adam asked his father.

"Nothing is wrong mate, just an old friend of ours has returned, why don't I get some dinner organised for the kids" Ron said standing up and heading into the kitchen.

"What do you say we go help Uncle Ron?" Neville asked his daughter, as he walked with her slowly following the red head.

"Blaise?" Harry asked the dark skinned wizard.

"What Harry, what do you want me to say? My former girlfriend has just shown up on WizVision after six years" he told the other wizard loudy.

"Daddy, uncle Blaise is shouting at uncle Harry" Orion said burying is face in Draco's arm.

"I know mate, but he's just upset now, it will be okay"

"Ori baby, why don't you and I go look at Aunt Daphne's fish tank" Tracey said leading her son out of the room.

"I come too" Albus said following them out.

"Blaise, understandably you're upset right now, but I'm sure Daphne has her reasons for not telling us about Hermione, but please don't hate her for it and if you do meet with Hermione again, you need to understand her reasons too" Pansy said placing her hand on his shoulder.

"I'm upset with Daphne that's for certain, but I don't hate her, as for Hermione I don't ever want to see her again, she sent one letter and that too was to Ginny not me and that was close to five years ago and not a bloody thing since"

"Mummy…" James said looking at Astoria.

"Yes I know darling, uncle Blaise said a bad word" she said patting his cheek.

"I'm going to put Xav down" Dean told his wife as he got up and carried his sleeping son out of the room.

Ron walked back in with Neville carrying Nicole and Trays of nuggets and chips following them.

"I hope the kids like chips and nuggets"

"Thanks Ron, it's very nice of you" Astoria told her brother in law, taking some in plate for her son.

"Do we have watch this still?" Blaise asked pointing at the TV.

"You don't have to, but we would like to watch and see our friend again and to see Daphne obviously" Pansy told him.

Blaise remained seated on the couch next to Harry with Nicole climbing on to his lap.

Neville and Pansy both smiled at their daughter's actions.

They then all turned back to the show which was returning back from commercials.


As Hermione watched Lavender get ready to start filming again she knew she had to be careful about her answers, the last thing she wanted was the whole world fining out Ally in such a public way.

"Welcome back to Evening Wrap, in case you missed it, before the break, Daphne Weasley introduced her guest to us, Hermione Granger, one third of the Golden Trio"

Daphne heard Hermione sigh next to her and squeezed her hand in reassurance.

"So Hermione, Daphne told us you've been in the US for past few years, which part?" Lavender asked the Brunette.

"I've been living in LA for nearly five years" replied Hermione.

"Oh that must be quiet warm, perfect weather for you to show off your fantastic body" said Lavender.

"Oh well I suppose it is very sunny on the west coast, so I do go to the beach a fair bit" replied Hermione.

"And how did you achieve such a great figure?" Lavender asked.

"Through diet and exercise" replied the Brunette. She left out the part of stress of raising a child on your own and then chasing after her daughter as she grew up.

"So Daphne, will Hermione be modelling your biking collection for Britain?" Lavender asked the designer.

"Yes that's right, I brought along some photos of the recent photo shoot we did, if you don't mind showing them" replied the dark blond witch.

"Of course" replied Lavender sound if she had been caught off guard yet again that evening.

On screen appeared the first photo of Hermione in sky blue biking set relaxing on a towel next to a pool, wearing sunglasses.

"Holy Merlin, I wish my body looked like that" commented Ginny upon seeing the photo.

"Your body is fantastic to me' Dean whispered to her as he kissed her neck.

"That's it after this baby is born, I'm getting a body like that" commented Astoria as she looked at Harry.

Another photo appeared on screen this time there Hermione and other model relaxing at a poolside table enjoying cocktails. Hermione was wearing a scarlet coloured triangle bikini set.

"Merlin, her boobs look fantastic in that bikini" said Pansy, her eyebrows raised.

Blaise meanwhile had been looking like a fish as he stared in awe at his former love in her bikini. He quickly recovered hoping none of the others had noticed his expression.

"Daddy, why are you covering my eyes?" Orion asked Draco.

"What? Oh right sorry son" Draco stumbled as he took his hand off his son's eyes.

"Don't get me wrong, I find Daphne sexy, but Hermione is damn fine" said Ron.

"There's no denying that" said Ginny as the shot changed on the show changed to the three witches on stage again.

"So with a body like Hermione, is there a man in your life?" Lavender asked her.

Both Draco and Harry saw Blaise sit up at her question, but didn't say anything

Hermione took a deep breath before answering. "No there isn't, I did date a one or two men in LA but it was only short term"

"Well, hopefully that changes for you soon, and what brought you back to England?"

"My parents wedding anniversary is this weekend" replied Hermione.

"Well I hope you have a lovely visit, we should catch up again" said Lavender politely.

Hermione smiled back at her.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, that was another fantastic show tonight of Evening wrap, thank you for joining me" Lavender said looking into the camera signing off for her show and the camera light went off.

Lavender turned to both ladies "I'm really sorry, but I need to leave right away, I'm running late for my in-law's anniversary dinner, Roger is probably mad at me"

"Davies?" asked Hermione.

"Yes, I'm Lavender Davies, didn't you tell her?" she said looking at Daphne.

"No I only told her I'm married to Ron and about Astoria and Harry" replied Daphne.

"Oh well, it was nice seeing, you Daph still owe me, perhaps lunch?" Lavender said she dashed off to her dressing room.

"Yeah perhaps"

"She hasn't changed I see, and when did she marry Roger Davies?" Hermione asked.

"Oh in January 2001, after dating for only two months, we're all surprise they've lasted this long and have a daughter together" replied Daphne.

"A daughter really?"

"Yes, Cassidy Violet Davies, I think she just turned four last month"

"Well I've certainly had an evening, I should going back to the hotel" said Hermione.

"Which Hotel is it?"

"Now I've told you before, this was a one-time only appearance in the magical world of Britain during my visit back here to see my parents, I'm sorry I can't tell you which hotel it is, only it's a Muggle one"

"Hermione, I know you said you don't want to make a big fuss about this, but you are Hermione Granger, the great war heroine there's no denying that, you have to at least see Ron and Harry, they were or perhaps still are your best friends."

"Yes they will always be my best friends, I'm sorry Daphne, I just can't go back yet, and especially with Allison. Goodnight" and with that she walked away towards the exit.

Daphne spotted a house elf nearby packing away set decorations.

"Hello" she said approaching him.

He turned around and looked up at her. "Hello Mrs Weasley, how may Snap help you?"

"Well Snap, do you know how Miss Granger was going back to her hotel?" she asked the little creature.

"Well, I did see a long white car outside, perhaps that was for her. Miss Granger is very beautiful and very good for elves like me"

"You mean a limo Snap?"

He nodded "Yes, that's what it is called"

"Thank you Snap, and yes Hermione has been very good for elves like yourself"

Snap smiled at her before apparating out of the hallway.

"No to go home and face the music" Daphne told herself as she walked to the car park.


Daphne pulled her white Mercedes hatchback into the driveway of her house and got out and opened the front door.

She walked into the kitchen to find most of the adults standing out their kitchen island some nursing cup of tea.

"Hello Love, you were fantastic" said Ron approaching her with a hug and kiss.

"Thank you love, how were the kids?" she knew her friends where upset with her and were ready to hound her with questions but her first priority would always be her kids.

"They were fantastic, Cynthia is starting to teeth I think" replied her husband.

"Okay I know you are all upset with me, but let me tell you it wasn't easy for me to convince Hermione to come on Lavender's show, nor what is easy for her to do, despite being the brave Gryffindor and everything. I know I shouldn't have kept my contact with her from you guys for so long but I promised her I wouldn't say anything." Daphne told the others.

"But how could you Daphne?" Pansy asked her. Neville had already returned home with their daughter.

"Pans, everyone, we all know why she left, she ended up in the US, where she had a life established by the time I found her, I didn't want to jeopardise my friendship with her but rushing things and betraying her" Daphne replied taking her cup of tea from Ron.

"I think should go talk to Blaise. I have to get home no doubt Tori is struggling to put the boys to bed" Harry told his sister in law.

Daphne thanked him for watching her on TV and walked into lounge room where Blaise was sitting on the sofa.

He saw her walking in and stood up to leave the room.

"Blaise, wait please, I'm really sorry…"

"Daphne, I'm sorry I just can't talk to you right now" he told her bitterly and left the house.

She could hear him speeding out of their street and broke down on the lounge in tears.

"Hey love, don't cry he's upset with you right now, but give him time he's obviously in shock, he just needs time, he'll come around soon" Ron told her he put his arm around her.
