Chapter 6: Short Story 1-The Big Day
I wrote this chapter days before I visited WWHP for the first time.:) So I'm not an adult yet, if you haven't figured that out...
"Mum! Dad!" cried Hermione, looking very grateful. They had drunk the potion thinking it was wine! Hermione felt a twinge of sadness. Her parents hadn't drank after she was born, and if they did, it was during the unknown time while she was at Hogwarts.
"Hermione!" cried her mother, "oh Hermione, what happened?"
"Well...um...I...um...well, I gaveyouamemorypotiontoforgetthatyoueverhadmebecauseofthewizardingwarandIhadafeelingtheywouldkillyou." Hermione admitted. "And, I was right! They did try because I'm one of Harry's best friends!" At that, Hermione started sobbing heavily. "But now, I found the counter-potion so I could bring you back because Voldemort's gone." But by now, because of the sobs, she could barely talk!
"It's alright baby, mums here now, said her mother soothingly. "You are quite forgiven! We have taught you good qualities! Family first, the most important one; I am very proud of you darling." She didn't expect that at all! She thought her mother would scold her!
But just then, Hermione's father woke up! He did scold her, but just a little. "What date is it? I want to know how long I've been gone," Hermione's father asked.
"June 19,1998," she said, ashamed.
"Wow! You are quite bright!" he said, Hermione's eyes widened in shock. She blinked, taken aback by his words. Then, she started grinning wildly. Hermione was so happy to have her family back! What could be better than staying a weekend with your friends while you had your mother and father with you after a very long time?
I had written a decent size short story, and for some reason, most of it got lost. I had some of that to work with, and I fixed it a lot. It took me at least an hour to sort things out properly! Please review!
