After all those rush of events, things are finally going to calm down for a
while.

CHAPTER 6: A Challenge
Hermione looked in the mirror and sighed. The spell had worked. Her hair was now a very dark shade of brown and straight. She combed through her hair, and her eyes filled with tears. She closed her eyes, and held her head, feeling a tear travel down her cheek. She quickly wiped her face and searched for the parchment Ron had supplied her with.
***
Ron turned his face and opened his eyes. He felt the sun shining on his face and quickly sat up. He had fallen asleep. Hermione had came and left. Drawers were open and half empty, all her close belongings were gone and so were the bed covers. Ron sighed and ran his fingers through his long hair, as he rested his head on the top of the chair. He closed his eyes, confused of what was happening, wondering why they did.
He stood up and went outside, and ran around the block, because he couldn't think of anything else to do but exercise.
***
Hermione cleared her throat and watched the plump woman look through her records. She nervously wondered if the woman was suspicious and was waiting to be asked questions. The woman just sighed flipped through the pages.
"Miss Lavender Brown, you were reported missing and now-"
"I was found." Hermione finished smiling. "Yes, I was kind of in this desert place and couldn't dissaparate." Hermione lied.
The woman tossed the file on her desk. "Oh it does not matter. You seem smart and trustworthy." The woman smiled. "So, what can you do, what spells and crafts can you teach to little Antonio?"
"Well...I was pretty smart back in my school days, Ms-"
"Just call me Maria." She said smiling. "Why don't you perform me something- a couple of spells- right now, here in the office."
Hermione nodded and smiled. She stood up and did a series of spells, which included floating objects, summoning animals and doing spells on them and then making them disappear. When Hermione was finished, Maria clapped. "Lavender, I need no more to see! You've got the job!"
"Really?" Hermione said impressed.
"Actually no." Maria said. Hermione frowned and she explained more, "Mr. Landeras probably wants you to perform something with a potion...other then that, you have pretty much nailed it."
Hermione smiled. "Thankyou."
***
"This is Mr. Landeras' lab- it is very valuable to him and you are not allowed in it unless with permission, job or no job." The man said walking extremely fast. He whispered the password and the steel door opened, and he sat Hermione at a table. He put a bottle of reddish green liquid in front of her. "Find out what ingredients are in that and what it does. I'm sure you did this at-" The man looked at his clipboard. "Hogwarts- in your last years. Try not to be long." And the man left, leaving Hermione with the wizards that were cleaning.
Hermione sighed and looked at the liquid. What if it wasn't safe to touch? No, it had to be. Hermione put a drop on her fingertips and rubbed her fingers together. She did a quick smell. "Ginger roots and-" Hermione rubbed more. "Lacewings." Hermione started jotting it down. She worked and worked almost ripping the potion apart naming all the ingredients she could feel or smell. Finally after an hour she was sure she had it.
"Time is up." The man came back and snatched the paper from her. He read it. "Hmm...It's fine, you are hired." The man said tossing it away.
"Really? That was- easy." Hermione said. Then she had to comment, "The mixture of potions are very creative- Mr. Landeras must have really knew his ingredients- he would make an excellent potions ma-"
"I doubt it, Mr. Landeras made no potion in this lab." The man said, marking things on his clipboard. "He has his partners. The only thing the man does is run his company, and he's damn proud of it."
"Oh." Hermione said.
"I will escort you upstairs and then Maria will take it from there." The man said and Hermione followed the man out of the lab. As he was locking it Hermione noticed a door down the hall marked G.W.W. The man quickly beckoned Hermione to follow and she did so.
**
"Now, do not feel discouraged if little Antonio seem to respond not well." Maria said after giving Hermione a room. "The boy's quite moody. But he is so determined sometimes and it frustrates him."
Hermione bit her lip and nodded. She wondered what she was getting into. Finally Maria knocked on the door. She didn't await an answer and opened it. Hermione saw Antonio sitting on the edge of his peasant looking covers on his bed. Piles of books lay all over his bed and he was ripping them to pieces. Antonio looked up and saw Hermione. He gave her a perplexed look and Hermione noticed she was frowning. She released and smiled.
"Antonio! What a mess! Your cleaning this up after you say hello to your new Nanny."
Nanny? She wouldn't call herself a nanny much. More like a teacher. Hermione was there because Antonio's parents were afraid he was a squib. They tried teaching him a little magic before he went to school but he wasn't able to.
"Hola," the boy said glumly. "Cóma está usted? Hace-" ("Hello" "How are you?")
"Antonio, be more polite!" Maria yelled at him. She turned to Hermione. "I'm sorry- he's being...stubborn." Maria shook her head.
Hermione smiled and turned to Antonio. "Me llamo Lavender Brown. Mucho gusto en conocerie. Habla usted inglés?" (My name is Lavender Brown. I am pleased to meet you. Do you speak English?)
Antonio's jaw rolled. "Of course I do." Antonio stood. "So you're my new nanny. And I thought Jessamine liked me...I hope you have more to teach." Antonio then walked past them, out of the room.
Maria turned to Hermione. "Yes, poor child. You will get to know him better if he lets you. Lovely Spanish by the way, you are full of surprises."
Hermione smiled. "You have not seen anything yet." She joked.
**
Hermione cleaned and fixed her room. She could handle the boy's attitude. If not, she would tell him straight off and be strict. She wasn't going to lose a great job over a mentally challenged boy. But the boy seemed least of her problems.
Hermione got out a picture of Ron, Harry and herself posing and laughing. She smiled. She missed them. She missed Britain. She was in Spain now, living in a mansion. She ate a quiet dinner where she finally got to see the head of the house and his petite, bored wife. This was some family to get use to. A challenge.
Hermione kissed the photo. She looked again and their happiness made Hermione envious. Hermione took a deep breath and couldn't help that tears dripped down onto it. Hermione then couldn't handle herself. She put her hand over her mouth as she cried and put the picture at its new home, under her pillow. Hermione turned off the lamp, not really seeing it and lay sideways on her bed. It only took a few seconds to finally soak up her pillow.
********************
This part of the story it will mostly be about Hermione but have some stuff on Ron. Next chapter I will explain more of him. A/N I don't take Spanish or anything, so there won't be a lot. I got that stuff out of a dictionary (so it may be incorrect- oh well!)
Oh I forgot to say that the day Voldemort attacked the school, Lavender and Seamus (well at least Lavender) were just said to be missing.
