CHAPTER 6

Hermione finished packing other important stuff she needed for her visit and then she waited for her aunt to come pick her up, and she arrived at about two hours later. Her aunt came into the house excitedly to meet her brother, sister in law and her favourite niece or only niece. She was also a curly haired brunette with big brown eyes, some will probably mistaken her for being Hermione's sister, when you compared them from afar but she was slightly shorter than Hermione, standing at a height of five foot 6, but with her black heels on matching her all black outfit, she reached up to Hermione's five foot 8 height when she greeted her at the door.

"Hermione!...oh look at you...a grown up already" Lucy said happily and then she kissed and hugged Hermione tightly. She pushed the girl back at arm length and looked her up and down and then she smiled up at her. Hermione was wearing black jeans with a white plain shirt, she plaited her hair that day, leaving some loose curls to fall beside her ears framing her face and at the same time, covered up her bony cheeks, caused by starving herself sometimes . She didn't bother dressing herself much nowadays since she's been staying in the house for nearly a month now.

Hermione put on a big smile on her face and smiled happily at her aunt.

"Hi aunty...its been a long time...you look beautiful" she said.

"OH shush you cheeky girl" her aunt playfully scolded Hermione back.

"so how are you dear... are you ready to spend some weeks with me...oh we will have so much fun" she added still holding Hermione.

"yes can't wait" Hermione answered back ignoring the how are you question, she was putting on a fake happy act for the sake of her parents. She was tired of upsetting everyone she cared about.

Lucy removed her hands from Hermione and then they walked together to the living room to meet her parents. They hugged and kissed each other too. They had lunch and then they talked about what each others been doing each day and how's everything. Hermione joined the conversation sometimes but most of the time she was off to her own world only to come back when going to the kitchen to help her mother prepared afternoon tea. Two hours passed and finally the conversation comes to an end. Her parents said goodbye to her and then she left with her aunt.

The ride to her aunts house took a very long time that it was starting to get dark outside, and without stopping for food or anything on the way, the time they reached their destination, Hermione was fast asleep only to be awaken by the voice of her aunt. Hermione was amazed at how huge Lucy's house was when she got out of the car, since she was a kid during her last visits, the hugeness of the house didn't astonish her that much cause she was either busy playing with her toys or busy playing with her uncle and aunt, but seeing it again at eighteen, she was speechless. It was enormous, maybe bigger than the bloody Malfoys manor she thought.

Her aunt looked at her and saw her staring at the house with her mouth opened then she neared herself towards where her niece was standing.

"its the same old house dear" she said, interrupting Hermione from her awing at the magnificent of the house.

Hermione turned her head and find her aunt looking at her with a smile on her face then she closed her opened mouth slowly and turned it into a smile. Lucy grabbed Hermione's hand and walked with her into the house after calling to the driver to bring Hermione's luggage inside and take it to her prepared room. Once inside, Hermione was in awed again...the inside was more beautiful than the outside, everything was either gold or silver, there was a stair going up that seems to never end and their were lots of closed doors that she immediately wanted to run to each one and opened to see what was inside, she looked up and the lights of the house were shining like stars in the sky causing the entrance into the house to brighten up like a Kings palace.

"magnificent!" Hermione gasped.

"O.K dear enough with the surprise look, everything here is the same as the last time you saw it...you better come into the sitting room to wait for dinner" her aunt said to Hermione

"its so different here" Hermione replied back.

"that's because you've haven't visited us for a very long time Miss Granger...the last visit I remember was when you came to say goodbye to us, saying that you were going to some boarding school we haven't heard of before" drawled someone behind Hermione, she quickly turned her head to look at the voice then she squealed happily when she realised who it was.

"Paul!" then she run towards the man and hugged him.

"Its nice to see you too Miss Granger" replied the man to the hug Hermione gave him

"Oh Paul you haven't changed much since the last time I saw you" said Hermione

"well... I must be still a wrinkling old man then" Paul replied playfully back trying to mask his face with a sad expression.

Hermione laughed at the man and said "well I was going to say handsome as ever...but if you prefer wrinkling old man then O.k"

Paul laughed too "Oh handsome will be fine with me Miss Granger" he said.

Hermione was happy to see Paul again, he was aunt Lucy's old butler, he was a funny man, always making her laugh and always blaming himself when Hermione breaks something valuable during her running around in the house. He offered her sweets sometimes because she hated vegetables served during meal times. Her parents and aunt and uncle have grownup talks sometimes and Paul was always there to keep her company, playing with her and her toys even though she knows the butler has a lot to do, like ordering the other workers of the mansion to clean and cook, because he was the head of the workers but Paul never showed any indifference when he's playing with her, he was always happy to spend time with her.

"Paul is dinner ready" Lucy said after sometime, letting the two finished their little reunion.

Hermione turned her head from Paul to look at her aunt just remembering that she was there.

"it will be ready in a minute madam" Paul said then he bowed his head, but before he left he looked at Hermione again and said "Its really nice seeing you again Miss Granger"

"you too Paul" she answered back and then followed her aunt to the sitting room to wait for dinner.

Like the entrance hall, the sitting room was magnificent too, it had dark blue curtains with silver flowers embroidered on it. The mahogany chairs in the room also had the same colour cushion as the curtains but the mahogany wood and the small tables at each corner which either a splendid vase or silver lining bowl on it were coloured gold. The table in the middle was made of glass with small gold linings at the corner. Hermione was absolutely amazed at how beautiful everything was considering the fact that she had been here a lot of times before but just looking at it from an adults eyes she was flabbergasted.

"so dear...what caused you to come back without finishing school" her aunt said before sitting herself in one of the chairs in the room.

Hermione who was still neared the door and admiring the beauty of the room turned lazily towards her aunt and then walked herself to one of the chairs. She was taking her time to think of a lie to answered back to her aunt, because she can't say that she got married to protect some guy and his family from being sent to prison and instead of getting her reward she was framed into a cheating scandal, then she got stressed by news being published on the media and being named the most hated person in the world she decided to quit school. Well that will arise some more questions which will lead to the truth and that is far from what she wanted. Her aunt doesn't know about the wizardry world, so explaining Voldermort and the gang will be very difficult.

Her aunt called back, interrupting her from her thoughts.

"yes... continue thinking of a lie to tell me dear... but don't say you were expelled because I won't believe you"

Hermione finally sit herself down and looked up at her aunt who was looking at her and waiting patiently for her answer. She sighed before answering her aunt.

"well...I don't know if I'm ready to tell anyone why I left school...you know my parents doesn't even know...but you are right I wasn't expelled...I'm too smart to be expelled." Then she chuckled at the last part of her own answer

"well if you are ready to tell me... then I'm here" her aunt replied in a soft voice.

Hermione was happy about her aunt not pushing her to tell the truth. She needed some time before she revealed the truth to someone, knowing what happened to her was her own fault caused her to bottled everything inside her. She should've refused when Dumbledore suggested her to marry Malfoy, who knows maybe today she was still at Hogwarts having a fight with Harry and Ron about her studying too much when the exams are months away, or even get an insult from Malfoy for just passing his way. But its too late now, she had made her decision, she married the guy, got herself infamous and then cowardly removed herself from everything she loved,...school, her friends and the wizardry world.

"so dear...what do you want to do now" her aunt disrupted the silence which was starting to build between them.

"I don't know...but I'm pretty tired from the ride here...so I think I'll skip dinner and go get some sleep... I'm not that hungry" Hermione said.

Her aunt laughed "well, well, well, your parents were right...they say you were skipping meals a lot my dear...I'm afraid I won't allowed that...we are having a feast today...Paul prepared all your favourite food so you better appreciate what the old man did to welcome you back"

Hermione smiled back at her aunt, well she can't say no. Lucy was the type of woman that won't take no for an answer. She is a very strong and understanding person, never pushed you too far to say or do something you are uncomfortable with, maybe that's why uncle Sherman was always smiling during the times he was alive even though he was a very sickly man, his illness claimed his life too early. She wished she was strong like her aunt. She remembered seeing her aunt during the funeral, she thought people cry when someone they loved died but not Lucy, she didn't shed a single tear and she recalled clearly the answer her aunt gave her when she asked.

"well your grandma said never to cry when someone you loved dies, it shows that you are guilty of something...and since I haven't done anything to your uncle to feel guilty about I won't cry"

They continued with their conversation but headed in a different direction, they talked about other stuff like clothes, perfumes and books. They talked for about twenty minutes when Paul came into the room to announce dinner. They ate and talked about many different stuffs but Hermione make sure to avoid the topic of her sudden departure from the boarding school she attended. Paul was there too, even though he was standing and doing the passing of plates of food and drinks during the meal, he joined in the conversation whenever Hermione asked him a question. Hermione went to bed after another talk with her aunt in the sitting room she asked about this and that and she tried her best to answer them all.

A week passed and that is what they do all the time, they talked, eat and go out. Hermione's aunt took her to many different places, the mall, the zoo, the park and they even have picnic at many different places too but whenever Lucy asked her about her stressful problem she changed the subject about how delicious the food was or how beautiful the day was. Her aunt never pressured her too much about her problem that's why everything between them was still smooth.

Hermione and her aunt returned from one of their picnics one day to find Paul waiting for them at the entrance. He looked at Lucy with a face that says someone important was here because her aunt quickly turned to her and told her to go clean up and have a rest, Paul will called her back when its time for dinner.

Lucy and Paul walked to one of many closed doors of the house. Paul opened it and there inside were six people all dressed in black robes. There were two women and four man. They all turned and smiled at Lucy. Lucy smiled back at them.

"well this is a surprise...I wasn't expecting to see you people today" Lucy said to the group of people who were sitting in the chairs behind the large table of the meeting room. She motioned her hand towards Paul indicating him to tell the workers to prepare tea for the people.

"we are sorry madam for interrupting you during this time of the day but we have a matter of importance to discuss with you regarding your husbands businesses" said one of the man in the group.

Lucy sit herself down in one of the chairs that faced the group of six.

"Is this about the family who built their businesses on my husbands lands" said Lucy

"yes...they offered us two point five billion dollars to buy back their companies" one of the women in the group speaks up.

"oh...that is a big offer...but tell me something first... is this family considered good people in your world" said Lucy always interested in news from the wizardry world.

Her husband Sherman Kent was a wizard, she was scared the first time he revealed himself as one but when he took her to see his world she was amazed at how magical the place is. All the S.K companies was owned by her husband, he was the only heir to the Kent fortune, too bad it had to end with him because they had no children to passed it down. She considered giving it to Hermione but explaining the wizardry world to the girl will be very difficult, so she chooses the six people who are now sitting with her in the room to look after her husbands company, she'll make a decision about where the companies will head in the next ten years when she reached her fifties but if she died suddenly without giving them her decision they will have to passed it down to any witches or wizards they believed worthy of looking after the companies, but sign a contract that they can never have it . She never visited the wizardry world again when her husband died, she felt uncomfortable being around magical people, so she arranged meetings every fortnight with the representatives of the S.K companies to talk about anything concerning the companies. They just had a meeting last week about some lands that owned by her husband being used by some magical family. They said it was signed under some magical contract, so they had filed a complaint to have it back.

"oh they weren't always good people...actually they were the number one followers of the Dark Lord... they hated people from the muggle world especially muggleborn wizards and witches...you see their family are known to be purebloods... That is the term used on witches and wizards who come from purely magical heritage ...but after the war they kind of changed their ways" the man who starts the conversation said.

"how do you know they've changed their ways...maybe they are pretending" asked Lucy.

"I don't think so madame...actually their son married a muggleborn" said the other women of the group.

"oh really...then that's good...I think we shouldn't accept the money then...considering their son married a muggleborn they must have really changed then...was it an arranged marriage or a love match.." she replied back to them

"oh it was a lovematch for sure...they were such a lovely couple...too bad it didn't last" answered back the woman who mentioned the marriage.

"oh what happened...did he killed her" Lucy eagerly questioned back the woman.

"Oh no...no killing was involved...the girl cheated on the poor boy...it was such a sad story...I felt sorry for him...he caught her in the act...the pictures published on the paper during the scandal was disgusting and shameful." replied the woman.

"oh that is sad indeed...then give them back there land immediately...don't accept the money...I don't think we need it" Lucy hurriedly replied back.

Paul entered the room interrupting the conversation with a gold tray that had seven cups on it, he served the guests tea first then handed Lucy's tea last.

Finally one of the man who haven't spoken a word during the conversation said

"we will do what you asked madame...but it may take some months before the lands is completely theirs again...you see a magical contract takes a long time to dissolve...so after that happened we will come back to you with another magical contract to sign the lands back to them"

"that's o.k you do what you have to do...but make sure to tell them that the owner of the S.K companies has agreed to let them have their land back...I'll sign another contract when the other one is settle" Lucy replied, lifting the cup of tea which was in front of her to take a sip.

Each one of them in the room took a sip of their offered tea, after that they talked about other important stuff about the company then they left using the fireplace in the room.

"Madame should I called Miss Granger for dinner now" said Paul who was still standing inside the room after he came with the tray of tea.

"oh yes yes" she answered back.

Lucy was still finishing her tea when Paul hurriedly came back into the room. She looked up at him and his face was showing shock.

"what's the matter Paul" Lucy worriedly asked Paul, her butler never acted like this in front of her.

"Its Miss Granger... madam" Paul replied back, his voice was kind of shaky.

Lucy instantly stood up.

"what's wrong with her" she said, her eyes showing worried but her voice sounded demanding.

"I...I knocked on her door but she didn't answer...so I opened it and she wasn't in her room...so I suspect that she must be reading in the library...I didn't want to interrupt the girl...so...so I opened the door of the library slowly..and...and she was flying books everywhere Madame...using...using some stick" finished the shocked man.

Now it was Lucy's turn to be shocked. Her niece flying books...well that is impossible she thought...well not that impossible...but its still impossible..Hermione a witch...well that explained the boarding school thing. She turned to look at Paul who was staring at her like he was waiting for her to say something about the flying books... NOW.

"enough with the staring Paul...you know what a witch is...you've seen a lot of them too...actually you are also married to one" Lucy answered back to the staring butler.

"I'm sorry Madame...I'm just surprised about it...I never thought Miss Granger would be a witch" he replied back.

"That's O.K Paul...but how's your wife anyway...is she still working on that cream of hers" she questioned the standing man then she sit herself back down.

"Rachel is doing quite well Madam...actually she and I want to thank you again for the money you gave us...without it... my dear Rachel will probably be in prison." the man answered back.

"you're welcome...but what exactly happened to the cream she invented" Lucy said

"well she said it was supposed to remove wrinkles on the face but instead of that happening the cream caused wrinkles to appear...healers are still trying to find the cure" replied back the man, his face showing a displeased expression.

Lucy looked up at the man then she laughed, she remembered meeting Rachel for the first time, she was a very short woman with a very funny attitude, same as her husband but Rachel was always busy inventing something, the last time she heard about one of her invention was when she was inventing some kind of potion that will make your hair grow faster, but as always like her all other invention it fails to accomplish the required task so instead it causes your hair to fall off. Then she applied for a job at some famous Potion company in the wizardry world but was declined, so she started inventing again from her home and now she came up with a wrinkle cream that instead of removing your wrinkles it created it. She thought, no wonder Paul came running to her that day requiring a quarter of a million.

"I don't think its funny madame" the man said

"oh sorry Paul...that wife of yours have some very nice ideas in her head sometimes" she replied back

"its not anywhere near nice madame...she'd probably ruined the life of many in her world" Paul answered back.

"oh enough about poor Rachel...but go get my niece" Lucy ordered Paul.

"Yes Madame" replied back the man.

"Oh and Paul...do remember to knock...we don't want her to know that we know she's a witch"

The butler just nod his head then he head for the door.

Hermione joined her aunt at dinner after Paul informed her. She came into the dining room wearing a pair of blue jeans and as always a plain shirt but this time it was red. Her aunt had bought her lots of new clothes with many perfect fit heels to go with it but she wasn't interested in dressing herself up. Her aunt scolded her one time during one of their trips to the mall to wear a nice shirt if she will continued wearing jeans but she ignored her. She got a nice lecture when they got home that day.

"so dear what were you doing" asked her aunt curiously, wanting to know what Hermione would say.

"I was reading in the library...you got some great books there" answered Hermione.

"Oh they are all your uncles books...he's just like you...he loves reading" Lucy replied.

"yes I remember him reading sometimes but I was never interested to asked him about the name or story of the books he was reading"

"oh that's because you were busy running around and breaking my mother's favourite vase" Lucy answered back

Hermione quickly looked down at her plate of food trying to eat but her cheeks were turning red.

" so Hermione do you know anything about the S.K companies" asked her aunt changing the topic of the conversation completely.

Hermione looked up from the plate of food which was in front of her and stared at her aunt. Why was her aunt asking her about the S.K companies. S.K. companies is owned by a wizard, she knows about the many businesses that go by that name; hotels, restaurants, book shops, flying broom shops and a lot of other shops, factories, industries and properties you named them all, she also remembered that it bought the Daily Prophet, it probably owned every business in Hogsmade and other places of the wizardry world...well beside from Malfoys businesses.,. She heard that the man died years ago leaving his companies to some people he trusted because he'd never married.

"what about them?" she asked

"I'm giving them all to you" answered her aunt, like saying that was a normal thing.

"what?...I don't think I'm getting this conversation aunty" replied Hermione.

"I said I'm signing the S.K companies over to you" her aunt was cutting a piece of stake on her plate, she was eating normally, but Hermione's stares was larger than before. She was looking confused too.

"Aunty I'm confuse...what things are you signing over to me?"

"oh love you can't be that stupid...I'm signing your uncles companies over to you...you belong in his world and I don't...you can go there and I can't" said Lucy, while putting down her fork and knife and looked at the girl.

"Whose world?...and what companies?" Hermione questioned back

"oh dear...what is wrong with you...am I speaking in another language...S.K companies is owned by your uncle...S.K stands for Sherman Kent...get it...he was a wizard and he married me so I owned everything now but since I'm no witch I'm giving them all to you"

"what?...you a witch?...wizard?"Hermione have her confused face on again.

"Paul!" called her aunt

"yes madame" answered Paul who was standing there the whole time watching and listening to the conversation.

"what did you put in the food...my niece is losing her mind" Lucy snapped back at the butler

The butler turned to Lucy then to Hermione who was still staring at her aunt, he then made up his mind to settle everything.

"Miss Granger we know you are a witch...I saw you in the library flying books around...your uncle was a wizard too... even my wife is a witch...S.K companies is owned by your uncle he gave it all to your aunt...but you know your aunt is not a witch and you are...so she is giving it all to you...you see...you belong in the magical world...you can go there anytime without feeling out of place to check how the companies are going...so Miss is that a better explanation or do you need another one" finished the butler

Hermione just shook her head, oh she definitely get it this time.

"thank you Paul...so Hermione what do you say" her aunt asked her smilingly.

After sometime Hermione finally answered

"I..I can't go back" she said

"What?...Why?" Lucy shouted back

"Its a long story...can I be excuse...I have to think...but thank you Paul for the great dinner" Hermione stood up and walked herself out of the dining room.

She can't go back, she's a disgrace to the wizardry world, no one wants to see her back except her friends... well she can always go back and say hey Ginny guess what I'm rich, I own all the S.K companies and I'm renaming it H.G companies... Then I'll go meet Malfoy and say hey Malfoy I got enough money to send you to prison... I got enough to prove my innocence now...oh I can fired Rita Skeeter too since my uncle owns the Daily Prophet...hehehe...but I can't I'm a coward..I can't just showed up and get on with my plan...people will get suspicious...they'll think I used the money to bribe people to think I'm the good guy...hellllllllllooooooooo I'm the good guy...AHHHHHHH...

Its been a week since the conversation between her and her niece. Hermione still haven't answered her request and she was getting impatient, its a great offer, her niece was a bit stubborn sometimes. She wondered what happened in the magical world to make her leave, its a wonderful place if you are a magical person. Humans or muggles or whatever they called us in their world are not fit to be in that place, Hermione will be the perfect owner, she's a witch and she's smart. So she decided to take matters to her own hands.

"Paul come here" called Lucy

"yes madame" answered Paul

"Is your wife busy this week...I need a favour from her"

"Oh anything for you madame" replied back the man

"I heard from my husband that magical people can make truth potions...can Rachel make me one...I want to know what Hermione is hiding inside that head of hers" Lucy answered back

"are you sure madame...shouldn't we give her some more time" the man suggested back to the sitting woman.

"how much time does she need...its been months Paul...and I'm getting impatient...and I'm not usually like this...but she's a stubborn girl...just like her father...there is something she's hiding...and I want to know it...so can you please tell your wife to meet me"

Later that day, Rachel Biskettle walked into the living room of the Kent mansion lead by her husband.

"Mrs Kent...its a pleasure meeting you." the woman said and held out her hands to Lucy. Hermione's aunt took it and smiled up to the woman. She lead her to one of the chairs in the room while Paul remained standing.

"its a pleasure meeting you too again" Lucy finally answered to the woman's greetings. Then she continued.

"I am sorry for disturbing you on this fine day...but I really need help right now"

"oh no...you didn't disturb me from anything...I was just inventing some other potion...you see I'm creating this potion tha..."

"oh that's nice" Lucy interrupted.

"my husband said you needed a favour from me" said the woman getting straight to the point because she can see the impatient look on the other woman's face.

"oh yes yes...can you make a truth potion" Lucy asked

"a truth potion...oh that is easy...actually I have a lot at home" answered the woman

"oh that is fantastic!...can you bring one today" Lucy excitedly asked back to the woman

"oh sure...I'll just go pick it up and I'll be back in a minute...so who's it for?"

Paul who was quiet the whole time finally speaks up.

"its for her niece woman...Madame wants to know what she's hiding inside that head of hers " he repeated the words Lucy said before.

"oh..ok...Ill be back in a minute."

"that's wonderful...I'll be in Hermione's room...Paul will show you to her room when you come back" said Lucy happily

"Hermione?...that's your niece's name right" asked Rachel suspiciously, the name sounded familiar to her.

"yes that's her name...oh you should know her...she's a witch too" Lucy hurriedly answered back

"I don't think so... there are a lot of Hermione's in my world...its just that name is quite famous there...that's the name of one of the chosen one's best friend" Rachel answered back

"oh...then forget about that...I'll meet you again in Hermione's room then"

" yes I'll meet you there" replied back the woman, then she left with her husband, going to the meeting room to use the fireplace there to floo home to get the potion.

Lucy went up to Hermione's room, her niece had avoided her for a whole week now, even though she was there during meal times, she quickly excused herself every time she started talking to her.

She knocked her door and after some seconds she opened it.

"Hi dear can I come in" she asked the girl who was in her pyjamas already even though its not yet time for sleep actually it was only 5.30p.m, man damn her niece, those pyjamas looks like they were in some horror movie. Bugs bunny pyjamas, my goodness I need to knock some sense of style into this girls head.

Hermione widened the opening of the door to let her aunt in. She returned to her bed and sit herself down while her aunt sit herself in one of the chairs in the room.

"Dear I am sorry for pressuring you in the last few days..but you have to understand...you are the answer to my wishes...I've been thinking of a plan for your uncles companies for years darling...and finally everything is turning out perfect...you being a witch solves everything...you belong to his world...you can look after his companies...I'm not asking you to work day and night...you just need to do what I do...talk to the representatives, they will do all the work...you just approve it...sign stuffs and other business things...you are a smart girl you can easily understand everything...you can even live here but go there sometimes just to check things...because I can't I'm not comfortable at being around magical people in their world...so how's that"

Hermione looked up at her aunt after she finished her little speech ready to answer back when a knock was heard at the door. Lucy immediately stood up and walked towards the door and opened it. There stood in the doorway was Paul and his wife she was holding a glass with water already in it. She looked at Lucy then she winked at her like she was telling her that this is the potion.

"Oh Rachel...come in... come in" Lucy quickly ushered the woman in, ignoring Paul who was also standing there, he turned to leave but Lucy called out to him.

"you too Paul"

"this is it...I mixed it with some orange juice...will tell her its a special potion for headaches...it will only take a few minutes then you can asked her anything you want and she'll tell you" the woman whispered softly to Lucy

"oh that's wonderful"

Hermione who was still sitting on her bed looked at the group of people talking secretly at the door way.

"Umm is there something wrong" she asked interrupting the secret conversation of the two woman.

They all turned their heads towards her and then the two woman smiled back at her. Her aunt walked towards her.

"Hermione this is Rachel Biskettle ...she's a witch...Paul's wife" Lucy said, introducing the other woman in the room.

The woman walked towards Hermione, before she reached the young brunette sitting on the bed she stopped she recognised who she is immediat.

"Hermione...its a pleasure meeting you...I'm Rachel Biskettle" the woman hurriedly said and then neared herself to the sitting girl and shake hands with her.

"Rachel Biskettle...your name sounded familiar...but I don't remember exactly where I heard it before" replied Hermione still shaking the woman's hand

The woman laughed. Oh she read about the scandal the little brunette was involved in. She thought well this is a nice opportunity to know what exactly happened. She won't tell her aunt what she knows, she'll just find out the truth when they give her the truth potion. So she handed her the glass she was holding in her other hand.

"Oh dear..I hope you don't remember...but here's something to clear that head of yours"

Hermione looked up at her suspiciously, so the woman quickly added.

"your aunt is really worried about you...so I brew that potion for your headaches"

Hermione took the glass and drink it .hmmm...taste like orange juice...delicious...hmmm...

The two woman in the room both turned to look at each other then smiled. Paul was still standing not liking a single second.

Suddenly the glass which Hermione was holding falls down from her hand creating a cracking noise. The three people in the room quickly turned their heads to look at her. Hermione stared back at them, then her eyeballs started to roll back making her eyes white in colour instead of brown, she then falls down on the floor shaking.

"what's happening...is this suppose to happen" her aunt worriedly asked the woman while running towards Hermione. Paul neared himself towards Hermione, his face showing worried, he looked at his wife.

"woman what did you do to her" he yelled at her

"don't yell at me...I don't know whats happening." she answered back. Whats happening, she definitely don't know. Damn even truth potion can't be created by her correctly.

"Rachel...do something...she's still shaking...Hermione...I'm sorry dear...please forgive me" Lucy softly said to the girl while caressing her head, she was shaking heavily, and there was saliva foam starting to form on her mouth. She used her hand to wipe it off.

Rachel pulled out her wand and said some spell and Hermione immediately stopped shaking, her breathing returned to normal too. Paul lifted her up and lay her on the bed.

"what did you do to her" shouted Lucy to Rachel.

"I don't know...I need a blood sample to check what's wrong" she replied calmly back to the shouting lady.

"you are not going anywhere near her again Rachel...you've done enough" said Paul to his wife.

"I can cure her...all I need is a blood sample...I have a lot of potions back home that will cure her" she quickly answered back.

"Its all right Paul...she's a witch we can trust her...o.k. Rachel make it quick"

Rachel repaired the broken glass first then she said some other spell while holding Hermione's hand, a tiny drop of blood dropped itself into the glass Rachel was holding. She said some other spell while pointing her wand to the glass. It created some kind of light inside the glass which changes its colour from red to blue then to green.

"what is it?" asked Lucy eagerly

The short woman looked up, she swallowed hard creating a gulping sound even though nothing was in her mouth.

"it looks like I have given her the wrong potion" she said softly

"WHAT!...no you can't do that what potion did you give her...and please don't say its a wrinkling potion because I will...I will...will...fired Paul" Lucy yelled.

Paul just stared at the mentioned of his name. Sure he was angry at his wife for making a huge mistake but firing him is so not fair.

"I can't tell you how sorry I am Mrs Kent...I must've picked up the wrong potion " Rachel stuttered back to the woman who's face was showing anger now.

"what potion did you give her then" she snapped back

"its one of my new invention...I called it 'Emotiliones'...I created it for people who'd can't take life anymore"

"what's that?" Lucy yelled back again

"it takes away her emotions...you know her feelings...I thought it won't work since all my invention don't... but the green light shows that it works" explained the short woman.

"what emotions?" Lucy lowered her voice but it was still a yell.

"It takes away her feelings it makes her feel no fear, anger, happiness or love...I'm extremely sorry madame but it was an accident I didn't mean for this to happen" she apologised her eyes turned slowly towards the sleeping girl.

"oh no you didn't you can't do that...no you just can't do that...but you have a cure right...you can cure her right" Lucy asked Rachel again.

"Yes and No...you see there is another potion already in her system...that's why there was a red and blue light which appeared during the spell I cast...and I don't know what this potion is...I have to know the ingredients or the purpose of that potion before I give her the cure...because the cure can't work when there's another factor conflicting with the potion I gave her."

"can't you just cast another spell to see what the ingredients or whatever of the other potion" Hermione's aunt asked

"I'm sorry Mrs Kent but I can't do that...this potion is too strong...its like its blocking the light in her system...and there's something else...the cure won't work after three months the potion is given to the person" the short woman admitted.

"oh this is great...what now...I don't think I know what to do now with an emotionless niece...oh her parents will probably strangle me to death...well congratulation Rachel...you've finally invented something" Lucy chuckled angrily.

"she needs to go back to the wizardry world...I think she knows the people who gave her that potion..she needs to convince them to give her the ingredients before the three months is up" advised Rachel

"she won't go back...there's something there that made her come back here" replied Lucy, her face not showing anger anymore.

"oh she will go...she won't feel whatever she felt before...she would still remembers everything but she will not have any feelings towards anything...but this other potion in her system could be a problem...it might caused some unexpected behaviour from her" Rachel answered back.

"ok then when she wakes up I'll talked to her about that plan so we can cure her before the time is up...but excuse me I have to call her parents that their daughter is going back to school...Paul please bring some food for your wife...and Rachel please don't sell that potion whatever its name is...what it does is not nice"

"I won't madame" the woman answered honestly back.
