Chapter 2: Welcome to Hogwarts
~*~*~*~
Two figures stepped gracefully off the train, followed quickly as an energetic eight year old leaped from the doorway.
"Mommy, where's Hermione!?!" the child asked with a note of anticipation in her voice, as she bounced on the balls of her feet.
"I'm not sure yet, Emily" her mother answered.
"oh, where is that girl!" she whispered in an undertone.
"There she is, right over there!" the man replied, finally spotting his eldest daughter, and pointing her out to his wife.
~*~*~*~
"Mum, Dad!" Hermione cried, running toward her family.
She threw herself at her parents and hugged them fiercely, as Harry stood nervously in the background.
Hermione then scooped up her sister, as Ron finally caught up with them (He had made a 'pit stop' at Honeydukes).
"Sweets?" Ron asked, extending the bag he was holding to Emily, who had just been set down.
"Oh, of course!!" and she grabbed a few of the colorful candies, before starting to walk off with Ron. Hermione shot him an 'I-owe-you-one' look, as he and little Emily wandered down the street. This left Hermione alone with Harry, and her parents.
~*~*~*~
"So, who is this handsome young man?" exclaimed Mrs. Granger, catching sight of Harry standing uncomfortably behind Hermione.
"Oh!" Hermione stepped back, and dragged Harry by the arm toward her parents.
"Mum, Dad. You remember Harry…"
"No," Her mother teased "not that skinny little boy who spent the summer at our house a couple years ago!?!" She laughed.
"Well, it's nice to finally see you again, Harry." said Mr. Granger
"You too." the younger man managed to get out, then his face broke into a grin.
'they still like me, woo,hoo!'
"Shall we head up to the castle now?" asked Hermione, looping her arm with Harry's.
"Yes, but what about Emily?" questioned her mother
"Oh, don't worry! Ron will bring her back to the castle, at least when they have gotten rid of their extra energy…wait a minute that could take forever!" they all laughed as they set off towards Hogwarts…
~*~*~*~
"Um, Hermione?" Her mother asked suspiciously "I don't mean to sound rude dear, but where's the castle?"
Harry, Hermione, and her parents were standing on the beautiful grounds in front of the Hogwarts castle, of which Hermione remembered that only her and Harry could see.
"Oh don't worry about it, you just can't see it 'cause you're muggles," she explained "I talked to Professor Dumbledore about it earlier, just follow me."
The Grangers just stared in disbelief as their daughter began to walk up an invisible flight of steps, with Harry in tow.
"Are you sure it's safe?" Mr. Granger questioned, as his wife stumbled on the first step. After a few clumsy moments they made it up the steps to where the young witch and wizard waited.
Hermione tugged the massive front doors open, and suddenly the two muggles saw a magnificent castle materialize in front of them, where moments before had stood a crumbling shack.
"Welcome," she said with a small flourish "to Hogwarts."
~*~*~*~
A/N: Well I finally got the second chapter finished. Yay! I would like to thank all of those wonderful people who reviewed; Thank You! Please keep them coming, I love the support.
And Emma if your reading this (I hope you are) I named Hermione's little sister after you. ^.^ Just wanted to let you know!
