Chapter Eleven: Family Time

The next morning, Hermione sat up stretching, when she noticed a house-elf standing by the end of the bed watching her with big blue eyes. Looking around the room, Hermione noticed it was fit for a princess.

"Miss Riddle?" came the squeaky voice, from the house-elf.

Hermione looked at the house-elf kindly, "Please, call me Hermione, if you don't want to call me that then call me Miss Hermione."
Tears of gratitude filled the house-elf's eyes, "MISS HERMIONE IS TO KIND TO LOTTY!" Lotty sobbed in happiness.

Hermione smiled at the house-elf, "Lotty?" Lotty looked up at Hermione after drying her eyes, "Yes Miss Rid- I mean Miss Hermione?"
"Could you tell me exactly where I am?"
Lotty nodded causing her ears to flap back and forth, "Miss Hermione is at the Riddle Manor, this is your room on the third floor, if Miss Hermione would like Lotty can give you a tour of the floors on the way downstairs to breakfast."

Hermione nodded "That would be wonderful but I have no clothes to wear down to breakfast." Hermione was wearing a large men's shirt as a nightgown.

Lotty snapped her fingers and a door appeared on one of the walls, Hermione opened the door to find a room similar to a fancy walk-in closet only it was alot larger, on top of one of the racks next to the door was a light blue dress that had a small bow on the back, on the shelf next to the rack were a pair of light blue ballet shoes.
Hermione looked at Lotty curiously, "who picked out this outfit lotty?"
Lotty smiled, "Mistress LeAnne asked Lotty to go to one of the shops in Diagon Alley to get a outfit for Miss Hermione, when Lotty got back with the outfit, Master Thomas asked Lotty to tell Miss Hermione that they planned an outing with her to shop for school outfits."

Hermione nodded before going to the bathroom to comb her hair and put on the beautiful outfit.
Slipping on the shoes Hermione turned to Lotty, "Will you show me around now?"

Lotty nodded, leading her in to the hallway, she quickly pointed to the bedrooms furthest away from Hermione's, "Those doors at the end of the Hall way lead to the Mistress and Masters room, across the hall way from your room is Master Marcus's room, and all the other doors are the guest bedrooms."

Lotty finally led Hermione down into the dining room where, her parents, and brother were all sitting around a small oval table.

Seeing Hermione standing in the entrance of the dining room with Lotty, her mother jumped out of her chair before running over to Hermione. "THANK YOU LOTTY FOR BRINGING HER DOWN"

LeAnne Riddle had never been happier in the past twelve years since her daughter had been kidnapped, she hugged Hermione close, kissing hermione's forehead, "Good Morning, How did you sleep Principessa?"
Hermione smiled brightly at the nickname, "Wonderful, it was the best sleep I have had in a while."
Smiling at her mum, she quickly ran over to her father, "Morning da-," she stopped and bit her lip looking down, "Can I call you..."

Thomas Riddle calmly shook his head, "you can call me whatever you would like to Filia."
Hermione smiled brightly nodding, "Ok Daddy," at these two words she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed her cheek lightly causing him to smile.
Marcus cleared his throat opening his arms wide, "What no hug for your newly discovered brother?" Hermione giggled before skipping over to Marcuses chair and sitting on the arm of his chair hugging his neck, "Morning Bubba."

Hermione looked around the table at all the smiling faces, and for once felt like she was finally home.
