CHAPTER 9: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR FATHER…
"Mum!"
"Darling! How have you been?"
"Rotten!"
"What's wrong, dear?"
"well. I was going out with Jacob Malfoy and then I went to auntie Ginny's house and she and Neville were drunk and she confessed that she was Jacob's mother, see they didn't know who Jacob's mother was, but that makes me and Jacob cousins, so I split up with him," there was one good thing about Louise's mother, she would listen.
"Ginny's a mum?" Hermione asked dazzled.
"Yes,"
"Gin told me she'd had a baby. Just not told me when and who's it was!"
"Well she had it at the leaving 7th year party, and it's Draco Malfoy's. But what about me and my problem?""
"Don't worry darling. At least Lucy can cheer you up!" Hermione Granger gave her daughter a hug.
"I broke friends with her cos she caught me kissing Jacob and she's mad over him. So now I'm best mates with Daz, or Emily Knives," Louise looked at her mother. She looked the same as she did in her school photo's at Hogwarts, except she didn't have a big book pressed to her chest.
"Look…Louise," Hermione took a deep breath, "I've never told anyone this before. NO ONE! But…well…oh my God, how do I say this?…I don't know…!" This was the only time ever Hermione was lost for words.
"I bet my dad would have laughed to see you now!" Louise laughed, "from what I hear you never used to shut up, now, seeing you tongue tide is just…well…funny!"
"Yes. It's about that I suppose…your father. I'll just come straight out and be honest………he's not your father!" Hermione screwed up her face and took several deep breaths.
"Who-Who was then?" Louise faltered.
"…Harry Potter," Hermione whispered almost inaudible.
"What?" Louise croaked, "Ron's best mate? Mum?"
"It was at the leaving party. And then three days later he was killed, as well as Ron. So Ron never needed to find out!"
"How come I've got auburn hair?" Louise asked playing with her locks.
"One of life mysteries!" Hermione smiled weakly.
"Mum! What did you do to me?" Louise shouted.
"I changed some genes in you by magic so you'd look more like Ron. I was such a brainy witch I knew it would work. And it did!"
"And you got away with it?!" Louise shouted.
"No one knew. Except…Harry, but he's dead now. So…" Hermione grinned.
"Mum? How can you grin at me? After this? I can't bear to look at you? How could you pretend to me all this time that…that my father wasn't my father? Why are you telling me this now anyway?"
"You don't understand. It could have jeopardised my permanent record! Me, two men at a time! You don't understand how much pressure I was going through, I was studying for my N.E.W.Ts, then you came along and nearly ruined everything!" Hermione shouted exasperated.
"I'm your daughter! How can you be saying this? Why did you change my looks?"
"It was all I needed you born looking like Harry!"
"But, you don't always look like your parents!"
"But the Weasley red hair and freckles is passed wherever is goes!"
"How come Jaocb looks like Draco not Ginny?"
"Malfoy looks are stronger than Weasley looks," Hermione cried.
"But I can't lie to Nanny Molly! You've got to tell her mum!"
"NO! You're her only grandchild! She adores you!"
"She has Jacob now! And Uncle George's wife, Felicia, is having a baby, and you never know about Bill and Jodie!"
"You think she'll welcome Jacob with open arms? He's a Malfoy, he may have Weasley genes, but he's still a Malfoy!" Hermione sat down suddenly on a chair and sobbed.
Louise stared at her mother, What is going on?
"So…I'm not Jaocb's cousin?" Louise asked tentatively.
"No," Hermione gasped between sobs, "you go get him!"
