1.1 Chapter 3: A New Family and Name

Days passed and they couldn't find out who this baby was, or who her parents were. After going to many places of the state, the still didn't discover anything about her. It was getting harder and harder every day to take care of her. Amanda knew these weren't her parents, but within a month, she thought they were, due to the fact that they cared for her so much. When the month passed, the Granger still hadn't found out who she was. After several months, they finally decided to adopt her, they couldn't leave her out on the streets. Amanda never knew she would meet her brother again, without even knowing. She was a very smart kid, and she eventually got used to her new surroundings. Mr. and Mrs. Granger were proud they adopted her, and bragged about her every chance they had. They still hadn't decided on a name though, and it took around a week for them to decide. They knew she was strange, due to the facts that something exploded every single time she cried, so they tried to think of a strange name. They also wanted to choose a name that sounded intelligent, because she was very smart for her age. They name had to fit her physical characteristics too. It had to go with her extremely brown, bushy hair. Something like Julie or Samantha wouldn't work at all. Suddenly, Mrs. Granger had a idea. It was a perfect name for the baby. It fit both her personalities and physical characteristics. It was a weird and intelligent, and the best brown-haired name she could think of. "Honey, I have an idea on what we can call her," she said quietly, then, with a raise in her voice, "a GREAT name." "Well don't just stand there and babble woman! What's on your mind?" The anxiety grew very great between them. Mrs. Granger waited a few seconds to make him more anxious. Then she finally whispered, "Hermione," then, with another raise in her voice, "Hermione Granger."
