CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN

"How do you feel Hermione?" April asked sitting down.

"Like my head is going to explode. It's like they hate me. They don't even want to move back. You heard them; Mark comes first."

"They don't hate you." Said Sarah squeezing her hand.

"Sarah's right they don't hate you, they're just hurting.

"I wanted to be with them for Christmas." Hermione said sadly, "But I wanted it to be like when I was a kid. It wouldn't be like that."

April thought for a few moments, "Why don't you come to mine for Christmas? Lilly insists I have people over every year and I would love you both to come."

Hermione smiled, "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely." April smiled.

"Sounds good to me!" Sarah said, "We should get going as well sweetie."

Hermione nodded and pulled herself to her feet.

"I will see you Christmas day then." April said seeing them out.

Sarah and Hermione went down the stairs and waited in line for a match stick. Sarah looked over to the little shop.

"I'll be back in a minute ok?"

Hermione nodded

Sarah walked into the shop and grabbed the nearest copy of witch weekly. She took it to the till and pulled out a gallon to pay for it.

"You a love of Rita Skeeter as well?" The young shop assistant asked. "There's an article in there about Hermione Granger! I L.O.V.E her! You?"

"I'm a huge fan." Said Sarah with a smile taking her magazine and finding Hermione. She was sitting on one of the hard plastic chairs holding the matchstick.

"You know they're going to start letting people disaparate out soon, they're using to many matchsticks apparently. What did you get?"

Sarah smiled nervously and showed her the copy of witch weekly, "This. I kinda wanted to know what she wrote about us."

Hermione laughed, "Yeah I want to know as well. We're nuts! Now hold on to this or you'll get left behind."

Sarah smiled and held the other end of the matchstick.

They arrived in their bedroom and made their way down to the sitting room. Hermione made them both coffees before sitting next to Sarah.

Sarah opened the magazine and turned to page ten, where a large picture of Rita Skeeter beamed out at them.

Following my article last week on the famous Hermione Granger I've been doing some digging into her past.

While at school Hermione enjoyed a fling of famous boyfriends. This mainly showed it's self during the triwizard tournament where she dated not only twelve year old Harry Potter but the wonderful Viktor Krum, although inside sources say she only did this to help Cedric Degery (the other Hogwarts champion who sadly passed away) to win.

But now it looks more than likely that she was actually in love with Fleur Delecour as it turns out Hermione has a taste for women rather than men!

This picture is evidence enough... (there was a blurry picture who Rita obviously believed to be Hermione)

It clearly shows Hermione with none other than famous singer Susanna Whells who is star of the Easter music scene.

This is startling news to everyone and begs the question, do we want someone like this around our family? Someone who has such a deep need for never ending attention can not be a good influence.

Hermione laughed, the picture was very blurry she couldn't tell who it was but they weren't her and Sarah.

"I get why she wouldn't know who I am but she's saying you're a red head? Who would ever believe this?" Sarah asked laughing.

Hermione crumpled up the magazine and through it in the bin. She didn't know what she'd been worried about; Sarah was right, the only people stupid enough to believe that pathetic article were people she just didn't care about any more.
