*MP*MP*MP*
It was the morning of August twenty-fifth and Harry Potter was in Diagon Alley to pick up his supplies for school. In fact, he was starting Hogwarts in a week. He and his best friend, Draco Malfoy, were very excited. Harry, Draco and Narcissa were supposed to be getting all the supplies listed they would need for the school year; however, the two young wizards were actually gazing into the front of the Quidditch shop while Narcissa stood to the side speaking with another witch. It was when Harry turned to see if Narcissa had finished her discussion that he noticed a young girl sitting on a bench looking furtively about. Not seeing any adults near her and worried the young girl was lost, Harry approached the unknown witch. Draco, noticing his friend's absence, turned and saw Harry walking toward the bench on the other side of the street.
"Hi, are you lost?" The witch looked to the dark haired boy only to have a flash of disappointment cross her face. Harry didn't understand the look before it faded to something more akin to a sad resignation.
"No, I was supposed to meet someone here at half past and it's nearly quarter until now. Maybe I had the wrong day." Slowly the witch pulled a parchment from her pocket documenting the date, time and place of the scheduled meeting. When Harry noticed the Hogwarts seal he knew this girl would be in his class.
"I'm Harry. My best friend Draco is over there and we are picking up our stuff today too. Is that why you are here?" Again the witch, now Harry was sure of it, looked excited.
"I am too. Or I am supposed to. I don't think my parents will allow me to go if I can't get my supplies and if I was forgotten." Even an eleven year old boy could see the sadness that was etched on the young witch's face.
"I can't believe that happened, let's go talk to Draco's mom. She is one of the smartest witches I know and she can help you." Harry reached for the girl's hand and she accepted the gesture with a little reticence before standing and following the stranger. Draco, who had started to walk over, stopped and waited for the pair to reach him. Harry quickly introduced Draco and the trio made their way across the street and toward Narcissa. They had only walked a few steps on the sidewalk when the girl saw a stunning blonde woman. The woman was too beautiful to be real and it was obvious Draco belong to her.
"Mrs Malfoy, I found a new friend. She was waiting for someone from Hogwarts but they are late. I want to make sure she gets all her supplies before the stores close." Harry kept a firm grip on the girl so she couldn't slip away. Looking at the young girl, the first thing Narcissa noticed were her clothes. It was obvious she was a muggleborn. With no parents present, Narcissa was unsure what her story was.
"Hello young lady. I'm Narcissa Malfoy and I assume the boys have already introduced themselves. What is your name?"
"Hermione Granger ma'am." Hermione, as Harry now knew the girl's name, still appeared to be very nervous. Narcissa noticing the same thing directed everyone to sit on a nearby bench.
"Tell me who you are waiting to meet dear, I know the majority of people and I'm sure we can find them quickly. There is no reason for you to be nervous." Hermione nodded slowly before taking a deep breath and beginning her story.
"Um, about a week or so ago, a visitor came to our home and told me I was witch. I was shocked but she explained sometimes magic appeared in regular people and I was one of those lucky people. She explained all about Hogwarts and how I was allowed to attend in order to learn to control my powers. My parents were a bit nervous but she explained it was nothing they did or could have changed. I was destined to be a witch and with the proper schooling I could do almost anything I wanted. When I found out I felt like I was finally going to fit in somewhere. I was supposed to meet Professor McGonagall but I fear I must have missed her. I was here early but maybe I got the time wrong."
Hermione's voice hitched as she tried to control her emotion. Narcissa, immediately noting Hermione's emotional state, decided to ensure the girl was able to get everything she would need. "No worries, we are here to get the some items for the boys so we can get all your things at the same time. Did Professor McGonagall tell you to bring money? Give you the list of items you'll need?" Hermione was nodding before Narcissa had finished and had pulled out another few sheets of parchment and handed them to the witch. Additionally, she pulled out a small wallet that held the muggle money required. Narcissa converted the requested amount into galleons and noted it would not be sufficient to get the needed items unless they bought used robes and books. "Let's go to Gringotts, that's the bank, and get you a vault. We can have the money converted and stored there." Letting out a sigh, she motioned for the boys to return to the Quidditch shop window for a short while. "Hermione, dear, the amount she told you isn't enough for everything on the list. So what I would like to do is help you get everything you'll need."
As Narcissa feared Hermione quickly shook her head. "I don't want charity ma'am, my parents are well respected and we can pay our own way." Hermione; however, knew the amount requested was substantial and it had taken since the visit to get the amount pulled together, if that wasn't sufficient she didn't know what she would do.
"Hermione, other than what Professor McGonagall told you, do you understand how our world actually works?" Hermione shook her head again. "It's very similar to centuries ago in your world. Those of us with the means, ensure all children are provided the necessities of life. This includes clothes, food and educational needs. This is standard here. Charity is not a concept people have negative feelings toward. I would very much like to sponsor you. Harry and Draco have seemed to have taken a liking to you and I enjoy them making new friends. Would you at least think about it? I would even be willing to split some of the costs with your parents if they are truly uncomfortable with the situation."
Hermione, being a very practical eleven year old, knew she needed everything on the list and this may be only way to obtain those items. She nodded slowly in agreement. "I'm supposed to meet my parents at five outside of The Leaky Cauldron and we can discuss it all then. Assuming that is agreeable to you."
"Very agreeable, let's go and start collecting your items. Harry and Draco, we are ready to get started, come along." Narcissa held the young witch's hand and started to point out the stores and people. Hermione took note of everything Narcissa had identified. The Alley was beyond Hermione's expectations. "I think we will start with robes as they can take the longest and while I have the boys' patience I'm not going to waste it." Narcissa whispered to the younger witch who laughed lightly while the boys were following behind.
Draco had been slightly jealous, although he didn't know that was what he was feeling, when Harry went to speak to the young witch. It was worse when Harry took her hand and led Hermione to meet his mother. While standing at the Quidditich shop Draco starting asking Harry questions about the girl.
"I don't really know Draco, she just seemed so sad and I thought she was going to run. So I held her hand until I got her to Cissy. I knew once we were with your mum everything would be ok. And look I was right." Draco was looking and found he couldn't pull his attention away from the girl. Harry felt a draw as well but it was different from what his best friend was feeling. Since they were wizards they weren't going to discuss their feelings in the middle of the Alley. Draco figured he and Harry would have a discussion about her after they returned to the Manor.
Harry had been staying with the Malfoy family as Sirius had on an out of town assignment for his job. He'd been gone a week and probably would not return before it was time to leave for Hogwarts. Harry was actually pleased with that. He and Sirius didn't really get along. Harry had been told about all the things Sirius and James did at Hogwarts and how great it was. Harry and Draco had a long talk about the stories and both boys felt something wasn't right. With determination, they confronted Draco's parents and told them everything Sirius had been telling his young ward. Lucius was livid but with a surprising calm, explained to Harry everything that had happened and the court case.
Harry was shocked and more that just upset with what he was told; he and Draco had spent the majority of their summers with Severus Snape and both were saddened at the possibility of never having known the man. He had started to teach them the basics of potions the summer the boys turned eight. He believed both had the patience and skill to begin to learn. He was correct and both of the boys excelled in the field. He told them earlier in the summer they were actually at the level of students entering their fourth year, but they would be expected to take the class with their fellow first years. Additionally, Severus would give them an extra class one night each week in order to continue their education.
While waiting to be measured for the robes, Narcissa began to look for clothes more suitable to the winter the children would experience in the Scottish Highlands. "Hermione, dear, what sort of clothes do you prefer? You will be wearing your uniform during the week but on weekends students are allowed to be more casual." Narcissa watched the witch as she worked to accept the gifts that were being offered.
"Comfortable, on weekends I normally wear yoga pants, sweatshirts and trainers. I don't know what the equivalent would be here though." Nodding Narcissa continued to look through the racks until she felt she had a sufficient amount of clothes to get the girl started. Hermione had finished being measured and went to look at what the elder witch had pulled. She had never purchased that much clothing at once. "I don't need that much ma'am, really. Just a couple things would be more than enough."
"I don't have a daughter dear, and I never will. Draco, while he cares for his image, has not allowed me to dress him since he was two. According to him, knickers and tights are not acceptable for a wizard. I always wanted a girl, please allow me a little guilty pleasure and get you what you'll need to survive the winter. The castle is drafty and depending on which house you are sorted, a few items won't be enough. Though, I don't know what 'yoga pants' are." The confused face made Hermione giggle.
"They are very comfortable for doing almost anything in. They are typically made of a lightweight stretchy material. They were used for yoga, it's a muggle mediation practice that focuses breathing while in different poses. The poses help to strengthen your muscles and increase your flexibility. The pants are made to move easily with each of the poses. My mother has been practicing it for a few years and it has helped to relax her greatly."
"Maybe your mother can help me to understand this 'yoga' better. I do enjoy to mediation and this sounds like a good way to attain it." What Narcissa didn't mention to the young girl was how Lucius would also enjoy a slightly more flexible wife with their son being away at school.
"I'm sure she would, she loves to tell people about it. She has a dvd she uses but Professor McGonagall said muggle electronics don't work in the wizard world so maybe she has a book you can borrow." Hermione was thinking about the books in library and was pretty sure there was one or two that described the basic positions.
"That would be greatly appreciated. Now the boys are done, we need to get wands. This is the other task that can take time. Sometimes it is hard to find a match." Hermione had a confused look as she didn't understand how wands were selected. "When you go to get your wand, it's not just picking one that you like. The wand itself, because of magic, has to find a match with the witch or wizard also. Wands are made from all sorts of wood and have different centers or hearts. Ollivander's shop is the best place to get a wand. Many witches and wizards bring their children from France and Spain to get their wands here because of the quality."
*MP*MP*MP*
Entering the wand shop the children were amazed at the overwhelming number of wands. Going in different directions, each child was being pulled by their magic to their perfect match. Old Man Ollivander walked out sensing a great burst of power in his store. He could always tell and one or all of those in the store would be very powerful. Carefully watching the trio, his attention was first drawn to the young witch. She was standing in front of Acacia wands. These wands only called to the most gifted of witches and wizards. He continued to watch the witch as she began to reach for a box only to pull her hand back. The box she desired was a very unusual wand, the acacia wood with thunderbird tail feather would be difficult to master, but if it had chosen the girl there would be no problem.
"Mrs Malfoy, how are you this fine day? I see you have a few with you, do they all need wands?" Ollivander was there when all the Black daughters selected their wands. He is now seeing the children, and in some cases the grandchildren, of the first children he helped to find their wands appear. It seems time really does not stop for any man, or wizard.
"Hello Mr. Ollivander, yes all three will be needing wands. They will all start at Hogwarts this year. Seems like only yesterday the boys were running around with sticks pretending they were wands." Laughing Ollivander continued to watch the young witch. He could tell she was fighting her desire to just touch the box.
"Now gentleman, we will start with the young lady and then get you your wands." Ollivander pulled the box and watched the witch's eyes as she followed the box. "Come, come, let's try this one out." At the counter the wand was pulled from his box and placed in the slightly shaking hand of the witch. With a sudden burst, the wand and Hermione were matched.
"Wow." Hermione stared blankly at the wand as she felt the magic, her magic, course between the wand and her. Gripping the wand lightly she found it felt right for it to be in her hand. "Thank you sir." Hermione's eyes had yet to leave the wand.
"I am almost positive that is your wand but let's test it first. Remember, all of you, the spells you do here are permitted only to ensure the wand selected is the best match. You are not allowed to perform magic outside of Hogwarts until you reach your seventeenth year. Is that understood?"
Harry and Draco nodded with a resigned acceptance. Hermione looked at the man with a million questions in her head. It was Narcissa who addressed those unasked questions.
"Underage magic is forbidden as muggles may see it. You are allowed to use it at school as your learn. Once you've finished your third year, students are allowed to practice at their homes. This won't apply to you dear as you live in a muggle area. But when you visit our home, you will be able to practice. We can work out a some visits with your parents. I want you to be comfortable in this world and spending time outside of Hogwarts will help you acclimate." Hermione nodded and held the wand a little tighter. "You will keep your wand, no one will take it from you, but you just can't use it. Understand?" With a more relaxed nod, Hermione's gripped lessened, a touch.
"Now then I want you to wave the wand at the book on the counter. Just a little flick of your wrist." Nodding Hermione lifted the wand and with a slight flick, the book lifted and gently set back on the counter. "I think we have one figured out. Now Miss, I don't want you to flick the wand any more but, you can sit over in the chair and get to know your new friend. On to the boys." Draco and Harry had both watched with rapt attention as Hermione's wand was selected.
Ollivander noticed Harry was standing by the beech wands. This was an interesting selection, Ollivander rarely saw beech wands select a young wizard. "Now Harry, which wand do you want to try?" Harry turned and pointed to box near the top of the shelf. It was then Ollivander noticed the box vibrating slightly. Interestingly enough, the wand was one with a horned serpent horn heart. The young Mr. Potter seemed more intriguing than anticipated. "Let me get that one down." With a flick of his wand, Ollivander set the box was on the counter and Harry stood mesmerized. Once in Harry's hand, the wizard too felt his magic course through the wand. Sighing in contentment he looked to the wand maker. Ollivander laughed and pointed to the book. As with Hermione, Harry flicked his wrist slightly and book lifted before setting gently on the counter. Nodding Ollivander directed Harry to sit with Hermione.
Draco, was just as excited as the other two, but retained the calm demeanor his mother instilled in him while waiting his turn. The wand in question was silver lime, a very rare material with a white river monster spine. These three children had been selected to wield three rare and powerful wands. Each of them sat in muted focus becoming one with their wand. Ollivander was quite pleased.
"I believe this may have been the most special day in all my years. These three will be powerful forces as they grow." Narcissa nodded; she was also shocked at the wands. Harry and Draco's wand selections didn't truly surprise her. Both had an affinity for the traits associated with the wands but, Hermione's wand was a great surprise. The muggleborn was going to have to work to fully master her wand, but if she did then she would be a force unto her own. Narcissa felt her heart tug a little more toward the girl and understood the connection she felt with her. Regulus would need to be informed as the similarities were too much to ignore.
"Now that we have finished here, let's get to the apothecary and then the book store. Hermione, do you have a trunk?" Narcissa noticed the trio were still sitting quietly gazing at their respective wands. The older witch sighed wishing she could get the boys to be this calm at the Manor.
"No, that is one of the things I will need to get. I am required to use magical ones or will a muggle one suffice?"
"Magical ones are better as they accept the lightening spells with fewer complications. We can get that next and then load your items in there directly." A general agreement was reached and entering the luggage store a trunk was quickly found and purchased.
The trip to the apothecary was another surprise for Narcissa. As she reviewed the additional items Severus had listed for the boys she noticed Hermione's confusion as the young witch compared her list to the one in Narcissa's hand. "Severus, your potions instructor, has been tutoring the boys for years and they are advanced beyond the first year courses. While they will be taking the same course as you, they will also be receiving additional instruction. These extra items are for those classes." Hermione's eyes dimmed a little. "What's wrong?"
"I understand they are more advanced, and it's just a little jealousy on my part. I have always been advanced in my classes. Being behind is not something I have great experience with. I want to learn it all and will probably be asking all sorts of questions when they return. I wish I could go as well." Hermione turned to start to collect some of the other items she would need as Narcissa, again assessed the young witch.
"I doubt you will be able to learn enough to catch up with the boys this year but I do know what books are used for the second year courses. Why don't we get those as well? You can read up on the theory and if you truly enjoy potions maybe you can visit regularly over next summer and work on your skill. Of course, this will only happen if Severus agrees you can handle the additional work." Nodding with great excitement Hermione planned to spend extra time learning all she could before the term started.
Narcissa laughed at Hermione when she entered the book store. It was as if the girl had never been in one before. As it turned out, Hermione was an avid reader and she had never seen so many new books. Draco took this as an opportunity to also invite the witch to his home.
"This is nothing, you should see the library at my house. It's at least double this size." Taking the witch's hand he led her to the area with the some of the books needed for their course work. Draco carried the books for Hermione while Narcissa sat back and watched her son intently. Deciding to discuss her observations with Lucius later, Narcissa assisted Harry in getting his books. Just before five, the group entered the robe shop and gathered up their items. Narcissa assisted Hermione in packing her truck before placing the lightening spell on it. With the inclusion of her robes and extra clothes, the truck was too heavy to carry on its own. After the lightening spell, it was much easier to drag. The group hadn't taken three steps out of the shop before Draco placed his hand on the strap and removed it from Hermione. He graciously offered to carry it the rest of the day.
The final stop was at the pet emporium. Harry knowing exactly what he wanted went to the owls and found a white barn owl with large eyes. The shopkeeper pulled out the bird and allowed it to get to know it's new owner. After deciding Harry was acceptable, Hedwig, as Harry had named him, was packed up in his new carrier. While Harry was selecting his bird, Hermione was trying to take the store in. Draco, already having an owl of his own, took time to explain all he knew about the animals. He suggested Hermione purchase a bag of owl treats. "You see, owls deliver messages and any letters to your parents would be delivered in that manner. That is also how you will get mail from them. Owls responded best to food."
"Should I get an owl?"
"I don't think that is necessary. Harry and I each have one and you can use Artemis whenever you would like. And she loves owl treats. We can ask her to go to your parents regularly to see if they have anything for you. That way they won't have to wait for a letter from you." Draco was pleased at being able to assist Hermione without his mother's interference. Narcissa had been continually speaking to the young witch and interrupting him.
"That would be very nice. Are these owl treats ok or does she prefer something else?" Hermione pointed to the owl treat display with some trepidation. Draco selected the bag that was the most popular with the majority of owls and directed her toward the counter. Harry had just finished up getting everything for his new pet. He and Narcissa were waiting for Draco and Hermione to arrive.
"Draco, that was an excellent idea. It will make your parents life simpler with these already at the house." After placing the final item in Hermione's truck, it was locked. "I believe it is time we went and met your parents. They are waiting for you outside of the Leaky Cauldron."
"Yes ma'am and thank you so much for today." Without thinking Hermione threw her arms around the witch and hugged her tightly. Mumbling into Narcissa's robes, Hermione whispered the rest. "I don't think my parents would have allowed me to attend Hogwarts if I had been left on my own."
"You're more than welcome. I will provide you with a way to contact me once you are back home that will not be in violation of underage magic." Narcissa was incensed at what had happened. Based on Hermione's wand this girl would have great power and without an education she would have never known how to control it. This was potentially another failing for Dumbledore. Narcissa could not confirm that belief yet but, if it turned to be true, this could be the last mistake he makes.
As they reached the Leaky Cauldron, Narcissa stopped the group and transfigured her, Harry and Draco's clothes into something more suitable for the muggle world. Lucius and Narcissa insisted the boys be exposed to muggles and their world. The fear of the unknown was something that plagued the wizarding world. Having the next generation experience what muggles are and how they live reduces that fear. It was still mandatory magic was not performed with muggles present. Muggles were a powerful force and could cause great damage to wizards if they were caught unprepared.
"Draco, I am going to have to remove the lightening charm. You and Harry are probably going to have to work together to carry the trunk the rest of the way." Draco felt a bit unnerved by his mother's comment in front of Hermione. He would have to figure out something to ensure he didn't have to share the load with Harry in the future. After setting down the trunk, Narcissa removed the charm and both boys grunted at the weight. Chuckling quietly Narcissa led Hermione out the door. They were followed shortly after by the boys and the now heavy trunk.
Narcissa noticed the pair of muggles staring at the dingy pub and saw their expressions relax and soften as Hermione came into view. After reaching the couple, Hermione stepped forward and hugged her mother.
"Mum, Dad, this is Mrs Malfoy and her son Draco. Harry is the other boy. I met them shopping today and they helped me get everything I need for school. They are really nice and were telling me all about the school and classes and the books. Oh Mum, the books are amazing, I hope I can read them all before classes start." Hermione wanted to continue before her mother placed her finger over her daughter's lips. Dutifully Hermione stopped speaking.
"Mrs Malfoy, thank you for taking your time to help our daughter. We discovered we could not access the alley when we tried. Professor McGonagall stated we would be able to accompany Hermione but when we couldn't we were close to leaving when Tom showed Hermione how to get through and where the note said to meeting was to take place. May I ask how you came to accompany her?" Jean Granger was a savvy woman who was beginning to doubt the promises made by the Scottish woman who sat so comfortably in their home.
"I can't say exactly what happened. But Harry and Draco befriended Hermione and knowing what was needed, as they are both starting this year as well, it was of no imposition to include Hermione in our day. She is a very well mannered and pleasant girl. She has obviously been raised well and seems genuinely excited about school. I loved the school when I attended and want all children to experience the same thing. If you would agree, my family would like to assist her in acclimating to her new environment." Narcissa was very careful in how she worded things in case someone else was listening.
"Mrs Malfoy, I don't want our daughter to be an imposition. If this school isn't the correct place she can return to the one she's attended for years. It will not be a problem. I am having serious doubts about all of this." Rich Granger was more blunt than his wife on his feelings.
"I truly understand, there are things that cannot be explained here." With a wave of her hand, Narcissa indicated the busy street on which they were standing. "If you'd like, we can go and sit in the Leaky, eat and discuss all your concerns. I want to emphasize how important it is for Hermione to attend." The Granger's accepted the invitation and the six individuals re-entered the dingy bar and selected a large booth near the back.
"Being a witch is something that will not go away if you ignore it. In fact, there is the very real possibility Hermione could unintentionally hurt herself or someone else without understanding how to control her power. That is the real reason why Hogwarts, or any of the other wizarding schools, exist. It is to ensure our world remains hidden from yours. We do this to protect ourselves. As muggles passed through the ages, they have gained a fear of magicals. This hasn't always been without warrant as a few "bad" apples, if you will, have targeted those without magical ability. But now, muggles outnumber magicals greatly and if we were identified there is a good chance some of us would be killed. The resulting war would devastate the world. Magicals are across the globe and like Hermione here, can be born to muggle parents. By leaving her without her education, she could be the one that outs this world and starts the war that would end all wars."
The Grangers were shocked at the bluntness of the elegant woman sitting with them. They hadn't thought anything about the potential of others discovering the existence of magicals.
"Would it really be that bad?" Hermione's small voice filled the silence after Narcissa's pronouncement.
"It would my dear. When the witch hunts occurred, both here and in the States, the only reason war didn't start was the ability for the magicals to confuse the few people who were true witnesses. Now muggles have cameras and that internet-thing, there would not be a way for us to erase the evidence before thousands or millions of people were aware. This is the greatest responsibility of every witch or wizard. Keep the secret."
"I do believe it is important for Hermione to attend. I would like an explanation of what happened today but we have no way to contact the school." Jean pointed out another concern with the idea of sending their only child to Scotland to a school they could never visit.
"She left no manner for you to contact her?" Narcissa's eyes shifted between all the Grangers to see them all shaking their heads. Shutting her eyes for a moment, Narcissa centered herself and wondered if this yoga would be something she would need soon. Dumbledore was apparently failing in the most important part of being a wizard.
"I will be correcting that when I return home. But for now, I promised Hermione a way to contact us until she is at school." Pulling a small locket from her pocket and her wand, Narcissa waved and murmured a spell. The slightly warm charm was handed to the younger witch. "This is charmed to send a message to Harry or Draco. All you have to do is think which one of them needs to receive your message and then what the message is. Why don't you practice? Send 'Hi' to Draco." Holding the locket, Hermione closed her eyes and visualized Draco. She simply imaged saying 'hi' and suddenly Draco smiled at his wrist. Both boys wore a wrist cuff with their family crests. Draco turned his wrist out and there was a picture of a smiling Hermione with 'Hi' written on the cuff. "That is wonderful, now try the same thing with Harry." This time it took a bit longer for Hermione to get a clear picture and for the message to be sent but he too got the same message. Narcissa cataloged that on her every growing list of things she knew about the young girl. It seemed she had a deep connection with both boys but the connections were different.
Looking to Hermione's parents, Narcissa addressed their communication needs. "This will work for the short term and I will determine what is the best method for you to communicate with both Hermione and me. There are a few options that I will discuss with my husband tonight. Why don't we plan to meet at Kings Cross at ten am on September the first? I will help you all through to the platform. The train will leave at eleven on the dot. This will give Hermione enough time to store her trunk and say goodbye. Is that agreeable?" Hermione nodded with great enthusiasm while her parents, still reserved on the idea, also agreed.
"Wonderful we will see you all on the first then." Draco and Harry stood quickly to grab the trunk and followed the Grangers to their automobile. Rich Granger eyed the boys and noted the blonde one seemed to have his attention consistently on his daughter. Rich did not like the idea of a boy already noticing his little girl. Jean had noticed the same thing, her only thought being on how polite he was. The boys had refused Rich's help with the obviously heavy trunk. She was going to make sure Rich used the dolley to get it in the house. Last thing they needed was for him to throw his back out, again, this month.
As the family piled in the car, Hermione turned to wave at her new friends and kept eye contact with Draco until they disappeared from sight. For the rest of the trip Hermione filled her parents in on everything she had seen and purchased.
*MP*MP*MP*
A/N: So thank goodness for Narcissa. Yes, this will be a Draco/Hermione story eventually, they are only eleven at this point. Harry and Hermione will have a sibling relationship, not more. Thanks for reading.
