Chapter 6
It was in the middle of the night, and Hermione had trouble sleeping. What George had said earlier this evening troubled her. "You'll see in time," What does that mean? It plagued her all night. So she gave up and got out of bed. Hermione grabbed her work and went downstairs in the kitchen to work on her case. Her case was bases on a lawsuit against her client Mr. Johnson.
He was a tall fellow, with midnight black hair; his eyes were a weird hunter green. His looks were nice. Hermione met him last week to work on the case and his information about his defense. She had a meeting with him in two weeks so she had to get everything in order. The hearing was in less than a month.
Hermione got everything organized while she was making a cup of tea. She had heard footsteps coming from the sitting room. George had appeared into the kitchen giving Hermione a scare.
"OH George you've gave me a fright," Hermione jumped.
"Sorry, I couldn't sleep so I came to get some tea," George said as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "What you doing up?" George asked as Hermione gave him a cup of tea.
"I couldn't sleep either, something kept plaguing me. So I just came down and started on a case that needs attending too." Hermione said. "Why can't you sleep? She asked as she took a sip of her tea.
"Nightmares," George replied.
"You still have them?" Hermione asked as she felt her heart sink for him.
"Everytime I sleep," George lightly chuckled.
"What they're about, If you don't mind me asking?" Hermione asked.
"No I don't mind; There mostly about Fred and about you sometimes. But Fred's are mostly hard to handle, I will wake up with a cold sweat or crying, and sometimes I'll wake up before it happens," George told Hermione about his nightmares.
"I'm so sorry," Hermione said sadly.
"It's fine; I guess they'll go away in time," George said as he picked up his tea and took a drink.
"So you have anything planned for today?" Hermione asked starting up a new topic.
"I'm not sure yet, but I do want to know if Georgiana know about the wizarding world?" George asked Hermione.
"Well no, I haven't told her; I was waiting for when the right time came along. I was waiting until she got her letter or when you came into her life, but I thought we could do it together, she's going to have to know sooner or later because she does have family in the wizarding world. So I thought you would be able to explain it to her better, I didn't fully grow up in the wizarding world like you did, you were born and raised there. Hermione explained her options.
"So do you want to do that explain it to her, and show her the place then?" George asked.
"Sure I guess, it's up to you," Hermione said.
"It's up to you too, Hermione," George told Hermione about her place in it also.
"George, I've deiced everything for Georgiana for the last five years, this card is your turn; so you decide," Hermione said.
"I do want her to know her history and where she comes from," George said.
"Well there you go," Hermione smiled.
"But I want to do it together, and show her where she comes from." said George.
"You can do it," Hermione suggested.
"Yes, but your better at spells," George smiled.
"Alright well both explain it to her after breakfast," Hermione said as she searched for an agreement.
"That's fine, she is your daughter," George grinned.
"What do you mean? "She is your daughter," I thought she was our daughter," Hermione asked.
"Well she is our daughter, but she is your daughter; she acts just like you," George smiled.
"Well George Weasley I wouldn't be smiling away over there, she your daughter too, and I mean that literary," Hermione poke at his chest.
"Who me, what has she gotten from me," George joked.
"Well she has your face, poor child. She has your mischief ways and love for pranks and jokes, god save us all," Hermione teased.
"Well Miss Hermione Granger the mother of my child, she has your love for books and stories, she a pure master mind, smart as wit, I do say we make dangerous children," George said when they both bubbled with laughter.
Hermione fell to the floor with laughter, George tried to help her up but his laughter failed him. He fell right next to her. Their laughter died, before they knew it, they were looking at one another. To Hermione it felt like when they were together before the war. They looked at each other deeply. George gently put his hand on her cheek as they leaned forward with their eyes slightly closed and their lips inches apart. There was a tiny voice that made the spell break, the moment was lost.
"Mummy… Daddy, why are you doing on the floor? I'm hungry," Georgiana said as she entered the kitchen.
Hermione looked away awkwardly from George, and George responded to their daughter.
"Just minute Georgiana," George said as he got up and went to help Hermione up. She accepted his offer but made no eye contact to George. Then Hermione looked at her daughter, "What would you like for breakfast sweetie?" Hermione asked.
"I want eggs and toast," Georgiana said happily.
"Alright Georgiana," Hermione told her daughter as she prepared her breakfast.
George got the juice and milk out of the fridge and he saw Hermione making breakfast and Georgiana sitting at the table waiting patiently. Until he heard Hermione yell "Bloody Hell". He was shock at first because he had never heard her swear not even when they were young he was kind of proud but with Georgiana around, that kind of change. George had seen Hermione grabbed her hand she was taking toast out of the oven. She burned her hand. He ran over to her and took her hand into his. He looked at the wound that burn caused. He took her over to the sink and turned the cold water on to let the coldness run on her hand.
"You okay?" George asked looking at her with concern.
"Um… yes I'll be fine, it's not the first time," Hermione laughed awkwardly.
"Here you stay here, and leave that hand in the cold water, and I'll take care of Georgiana's breakfast," George told her walking away putting eggs and toast on the plates.
George served his daughter breakfast. Then he took to more plates over to the table and set them down. As he walked back over to Hermione and look at her hand again after keeping it in the water.
"Take out your wand," Hermione whispered.
"What?" George asked.
"I need you to do a healing spell, my hand is killing me," Hermione whined.
"I can't," George whispered.
"Why?" Hermione hissed quietly from the pain.
"It's upstairs in my room," He whispered.
"George," Hermione said loudly. "I need you to move something for me?" Hermione asked a fake question to be able to go upstairs.
George caught on. "Sure Hermione?"
They left Georgiana in the livingroom watching television, as they ran upstairs. George and Hermione entered his room and he took his wand off the nightstand, and pointed the wand to Hermione's hand and said a burn healing spell. Hermione was relieved that the pain was gone. All that was there was a red mark.
"Oh thank you so much, George" Hermione said.
"You're welcome, but can I ask you something?" George asked.
"Yes what is it?" Hermione asked.
"When in merlin's beard did you start swearing, you don't know how shock I was when I heard you," George told Hermione with a shock expression.
"Sorry it just kind of slipped out," Hermione said bashfully.
"Alright, now what was that downstairs?" George asked awkwardly.
She knew he was getting around the almost kiss scene before Georgiana interrupted.
"I don't know, it almost seemed natural you know," Hermione said softly.
"Hermione it's not that I don't want to; I do but it's just," George was trying to tell Hermione but she cut him off.
"I know George, I know, you just can't trust me right now," Hermione said sadly as she went to walk out of the room.
Hermione was about to walk out of the room. George grabbed her by the hand and pulled her back into the room. He looked around and closed the door. He brought Hermione in front of him.
"Hermione that's not it anymore; I can trust you after all you let me come here and get to know Georgiana, some mother's wouldn't do that and I thank you for that. Hermione I just don't want to get together because we have Georgiana. I want to be together for us, yes she does deserved to have both parents together. But I want us for us and not because we have to. Hermione I do love you, I truly do. But sometimes I feel like you're not on the same page as me, and I don't want to get into something that we're not in the same Idea.
Hermione left out a relief sob. George told her that he can trust her again because she let him meet Georgiana and get to know her. It was hard for Hermione; she thought that George would never ever trust her again to be together. Plus George was right about being together because of Georgiana, he didn't want it that way he wanted it for them, something that they would both want. She was so happy to hear him say that.
"Thank you, I know how you feel, I don't want to be together because we have too, I want it because we want too." Hermione told George that she felt the same way.
"So I guess we are on the same page then," George said.
"Yes," Hermione spoke.
"So what should we do then?" George asked.
"Well just let things take its course, and then well start from there," Hermione said.
"Okay I can agree with that," George agreed.
"Alright, why don't you go talk to Georgiana about our magic secret and I'll be right down," Hermione said as went to the door.
"I thought we were going to do this together," George said warningly.
"We are, but there's something that I have to get first," she pointed to his wand.
"Got it," George said as left the room to go talk to George.
Hermione went to her room and retrieve her wand. But first she had to do something that she had saw at Daigon Alley a law firm looking for a lawyer. So she wrote to Thomas and Greenfield. She used George's owl to send it. Hermione missed home. "I think it's time to go home," Hermione whispered as she left her room meeting George and Georgiana down in the living room.
Well there's some progress going on! :) Hermione and George going to let things take its course, that's going somewhere isn't it, and Hermione writing to a law firm and missing the wizard world. Wonder if she will get the job? Up next George and Hermione tells Georgiana about her heritage. How do you think Georgiana will think about being a witch! I guess we'll have to find out in chapter 7.
