Are you all ready for surprises? Twists? Adventures? Part Three is after chapter four…. I hope you're all as excited as I am!
Part Two-Chapter Four
Jayn and Hermione had the time of their lives spending the day together. Hermione took Jayn shopping in the Wizarding World, something Jayn had only seen the first year Hermione had gone to Hogwarts. Dumbledore was able to push through Hermione's request to the Minister of Magic so that her mother could join her- and Hermione would be able to use magic in front of her mother.
She took Jayn to visit the Weasley twins at their joke shop, which they both enjoyed very much.
"Hullo, Hermione!" Two voices from the back room yelled out. "How are you? Haven't seen you all summer."
"Heard harry was spending some time with you?"
"Are you going to the Burrow at all?"
"Mum is dying to see you and Harry, said she could wait to feed him and that you shouldn't be keeping him all to yourself." George and Fred had been talking circles around poor Jayn who couldn't keep up with their twin speak; it was like they rehearsed everything they were going to say that day…
"Boys!" Hermione yelled. "Fred, George, this is my Mom, Jayn. She came with me today to help me pay for some things I need. She really likes your shop."
"Yes, I do think it's incredible what you two do!" Jayn's voice was excited when she had found the Pygmy Puff.
"Thank you, ma'am."
"Yes, how do you two that that?"
"Do what?" They asked with their usual smiley faces and looked at each other.
"That!" Jayn was going crazy.
"Mom, they're twins, you know this…" Hermione couldn't help but laugh. "They spend-
"Every minute,"
"Of every day,"
"Together!" The twins were having too much fun with Jayn who was now laughing so hard she had to walk away.
Hermione was smiling and playing with the Pygmy Puffs, "Do you guys have anything new?"
"Hermione…." George said. "We heard some of what happened, mum let it slip while she was talking to dad… Are you and Harry ok? And your Mum?"
Sigh. "I figured this would happen." Hermione was shocked and didn't know what to say. "I'm fine, Harry and Mum are fine. Harry and I will be at the Burrow in about a week… But we're all fine; please relay that to your MOTHER. And I'm sorry, but I really just don't want to talk about it right now… I just want to spend the day with… my…." She looked around the shop on her toes, "MUM?"
"She walked out the door." Fred pointed out and to the right.
"Oh no, she's going to get lost! I have to go!" She quick hugged them both and rushed out the door.
Walking down the street looking in every shop, yelling for her mother, Hermione was starting to get worried. "MOTHER!" She finally yelled breaking into a run, as she rounded a corner she ran in to someone with a cage in their arms. "Sorry!"
"Hermione! There you are!" Jayn was laughing.
"Mum! Where did you go, what are you doin-"
"I bought you an owl!" She looked so proud of herself. "Well, bought us each an owl, so now I can write to you in school and not have to wait for you to write to me, these two are twins! Aren't they cute?"
The twin owls we hooting at Hermione and eagerly trying to get out of the cage. Hermione held up her hands to the cage and reached a couple fingers in to pet them. Jayn pulled out her bag of snacks and gave them each a cracker to nibble on. "Mum, they're great. But, did we really have the money?"
"Oh nonsense Hermione. I was talking to the shop owner and he said that every wizard needed their own owl, not only are they useful, but they are good companions. I figure as long as I'll be home alone for a while, and you'll be at school, it would be nice to have a friend, and we can keep in contact! Don't worry about the money, dear. I've been saving up for quite a while."
The owls were fairly cute, one was all black with a little gold spot on its belly. Though they were twins, they didn't look alike, but they were smaller in size and they did act the same. The other owl was a mixture of white and gold coloring and oddly enough it had a black spot on its belly. To Hermione, it reminded her of a king. They were both males, and Jayn wanted to name them Black and Gold, however Hermione wanted to be a little more creative. "Sidney and…." Jayn was thinking, "Savvy and…"
"Salvador and Solomon!" Hermione yelled out. Jayn laughing, agreed with her.
After some delicious ice cream and brownies they decided to go home, it was getting dark and they were getting tired. While they travelled home, they let their owls fly beside them. Jayn was having fun watching all the looks the people were giving her and her daughter, dressed up in wizard clothes, playing with their owls and laughing the whole way home.

Harry and Hermione were each packing up their trunks, owls, and cleaning their rooms. Both were excited and nervous about travelling to the Burrow. They knew that every Weasley officially knew most of what they had each gone through that summer, but they had only heard a few things about the family from their friend, Ron.
"How much food do you think Mrs. Weasley will shove down my throat?" Harry asked falling down on his back as Hermione walked into his room to see how much packing he had done.
"Are you worried, Harry?" She laughed.
"Not at all, just imagining the giant feast she'll make for us. I'm starving." Hermione sat on the bed with Harry.
"Speaking of food, I'm starving... I think I'd like some turkey and cheese! Would you like a sandwich? I think we skipped lunch."
Harry looked at the clock, it was only 11am. "Hermione, we had breakfast a little over two hours ago."
"Yes, but we've been working since then! Aren't you hungry?" She rushed out of the room and Harry just stayed laying on his bed.
Hermione came back a half hour later with a sandwich for Harry and two sandwiches for herself. "Don't say anything! I'm just having a really busy day, and I'm extra hungry! When I get excited I get hungry." She was laughing when she saw Harry's face as she scarfed down the first sandwich in a hurry. "We need to get back to work so hurry up."
"I'm all done, Hermione…"
"Oh, well fine then. I guess I just have too many books." She said with a frown.
"Hermione, your mother isn't home, why haven't you used magic."
GASP! "Why didn't I think of that? I've spaced out so many things! Harry, magic! We're of age!" Hermione threw her sandwich aside and ran to her room. Harry heard some thuds, and banging and hooting coming from down the hall. Hermione came back in his room with something in her hand.
"LOOK!" She held out her hand, in her palm was a pint sized trunk with a tiny owl cage on top. Hermione had shrunk everything and then shrunk her trunk and owls. "Now we won't get so many looks when we walk through King's Cross!"
"Brilliant, Hermione!" Harry jumped off his bed, and copied what Hermione had done, except the owl cage. Hedwig had gone for a morning fly and hadn't yet returned.
"Great, Mum will be home in a few hours, what do you want to do until then?" Hermione asked
"I dunno, did you want to do something?"
Hermione looked down, "Well, I did want to go see Ian if you're alright with that, just to say goodbye and all. If he even remembers, I'd like to thank him. However, I don't want you to feel like I just want to leave you here, I just want to make sure he's okay and that everything is going well with him and –"
"'Mione," Harry stopped her ramble, "Go talk to Ian, I'll just take a nap."
Hermione kissed Harry on the cheek and left the room. "See you in a bit."
(Ian is no longer a main character, so I'm skipping a little bit. Sorry if you don't like it, but I figured this chapter was a bit boring, so I needed to speed it up a bit, plus I'm a lil late on updating it!)
"Goobye, Mum," Hermione kissed her mother on the cheek and gave her a good long hug. "I hope you don't get too lonely, if you do, remember you can send Salvador to me!"
Jayn gave her daughter her best, bravest smile and said, "I will darling, just be sure and have some fun with your friend, huh? I will miss you, but I know you'll come see me when you can."
"O'course, I will try to come back for the Christmas break, but if I'm too busy with school I may just have to stay. This is going to be my busiest year yet." Hermione was smiling thinking about how much she was going to learn, and do in her last year at school. "I love you!"
"Love you too dear," Jayn then turned to Harry and took his hand, "Harry, please be sure to take care of my baby. Make sure she has some fun this year and doesn't get TOO caught up in those books!" Together, Harry and Jayn laughed while Hermione turned a bright pink.
"Mum, I know how to have fun!"
"Yes, then do so. I want to hear good, fun stories from your adventures!" Jayn laughed, and then immediately got serious, "Harry, by adventures I mean nothing dangerous, please for the sake of all things good don't go getting in to any trouble this year?"
"Mrs. Granger, I wouldn't even DREAM of it, I promise I'll keep Hermione out of trouble." He then gave Jayn a quick squeeze and pocketed his trunk, and owl cage- with Hedwig hooting wildly in it- and took out his wand. "Are you ready, 'Mione?"
Harry and Hermione walked hand in hand out of the house and down the street a ways so they couldn't be seen by any muggles before they apparated. Hermione took one last look down the street and whispered, "I couldn't tell her I was never coming back."
"Hermione, everything will be okay this year, Voldemort is gone. All we have to do is finish our studies and we'll be living our dreams, our real lives, and you will see her again."
"Will I? I never know for sure."
"I promise you." Harry gave her hand a squeeze. "And I really did mean that I'd promise to keep you safe, and the only way I know how is to keep you in my arms forever." Her pulled her in to his arms and kissed her with all the love her felt for her.
After the kiss, there was only silence between them, but Harry waited until Hermione was relaxed again when he got down on his knee, and Hermione began to panic, but then realized he was only tying his shoe. "Are you ready to go to the burrow?" Hermione waited for his answer as she looked at their surroundings and holding her wand up, but when she looked back at him, he hand a necklace hanging from his hands.
"Hermione, I love you. I want you to be happy, and I believe that if this relationship goes well, we could be happy together. Would you consider my promise, and promise me in return, that someday you'll be my wife?"
Yup, I'm leaving you with a cliffhanger….. Only for a moment though. I shall put up the next chapter in a bit… I just thought this would be a nice filler with some intense ending to build up the next chapter. Please don't hate me!
