"The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it." - William James
"Mom." Sadie bit her lip nervously.
Hermione looked at her daughter and finally gave her a weak smile. "I'm fine baby."
Sadie didn't let Hermione get away with it this time. This was her chance to finally know who her father was. It was the first time her mother had ever spoken of her father in her presence.
"Mom." Sadie looked into her mother's eyes.
Hermione's eyes filled with tears. She had fallen in-love with the same eyes the day Sadie was born those big brown eyes reminded her so much of what her eyes used to look like with all that innocence. Now the innocence of her spirit was gone and her eyes let it show.
"Please tell me about my father. You don't have to mention his name." Sadie pleaded.
Hermione looked at her daughter again this time she saw that Sadie's eyes were brimming with tears.
"Baby, he." Hermione took a deep breath. "He and I went to the same school together. In our last two years of Hogwarts we became the best of friends a long with my other friends. We became a big group with all the other Slytherin kids and a few more Gryffindor. This was after Dumbledore had successfully defeated Voldemort. You see the Slytherin kids had no more reason to rival against us Gryffindor so one day for some weird reason we all became friends."
Sadie looked confused. "How did that happen?"
Hermione thought for a moment. "I don't remember baby. Sometimes things happen and. there!"
"Okay." Sadie smiled. "Do go on."
"Hold you're horses child. I'll get to the good stuff soon enough." Hermione winked at Sadie.
"Mom!" Sadie shrieked. "I can't believe you just did that. No mother in her right mind would wink maliciously at her child most especially her daughter!!"
"Who said I was a mother in the right mind?" Hermione raised an eyebrow. "Let me continue my little lamb." Hermione paused. "Maybe I should've named you Mary."
"Mom, you're changing the topic." Sadie rolled her eyes.
"Okay." Hermione gave in. "I started dating him. He became the love of my life. We were inseparable. He was my life; I lived for him. At that time I never could imagine life without him. Then on the month before school had ended I decided to give myself to him. And that's how God gave me you my little fifteen year old."
"Mom that's the first time I've ever heard anyone use little and fifteen year old in a sentence." Sadie giggled.
"Always there for firsts." Hermione smiled at her daughter.
"What was his name?" Sadie looked into her mother's eyes. "What did he look like?"
"He had silvery blonde hair that was always gelled up but when we got together I made sure that his hair was always parted in the middle and just natural looking. He had the most intense gray eyes and at times if you looked in them they would turn a certain shade of blue. He was the smoothest talker too. Oh, and he had these facial expressions those were unbelievable. That's were you take from."
Sadie beamed. In some special way just having the same facial expressions as her father made her feel closer to him.
"His name?" Sadie bit her lip nervously.
"Draco. Malfoy." Hermione looked into her daughters eyes.
Sadie knew that it had taken a lot from her mother to tell her about everything in one day. She smiled at her mother.
"Thank you mama. For once in my life I feel like I'm closer to my father." Sadie smiled not meaning to offend Hermione in anyway.
~*~*~*~
The next month flew by quickly soon it was time for Hermione and Sadie to go to London for the engagement party which was still a week before the wedding.
"Mother!" Sadie whined.
"My little offspring has called on me to go to her. Why can't she just come to the one who was in labor with her for nearly twenty four hours and at the age of seventeen might I add." Hermione laughed.
Sadie looked at her mom. "We were supposed to be in the airport ten minutes ago."
"Ahh. the wonders of owning your own plane my dear child." Hermione tapped her head.
"Okay." Sadie rolled her eyes. "But do I really have to bring K? I mean no one is going to kidnap me in London."
"Do you want to be able to go around London with out your old, withered mother?" Hermione looked at her daughter jokingly.
"My mother is not old and withered." Sadie shook her head. "But of course I wouldn't mind going to a few malls there on my own."
"So now you know the answer. No K, no malls, no hanging out and worse of all. no meeting absolutely adorable, hot English boys." Hermione laughed as they got into the car.
"Mom!!" Sadie scrunched her nose in disgust.
"So what? Oh and if you see any cute guys ask him if he has brother's my age." Hermione laughed.
"That is sick." Sadie opened her bag and took out a stress ball in the shape of a basketball. "Do you think they've got a basketball court out there?"
"My child does not know were to put all her energy." Hermione teased. "I don't know but you do have your guitar."
"I know. Just in case you know. I mean we'll probably like eat a lot and I don't want to get all fat."
"You are a stick." Hermione looked at her daughter's thighs. She was almost just skin and bones (think Amanda Bynes).
"I know and I intend to stay that way although I think I do need to put on some weight." Sadie tugged her spaghetti strap to make them go lower.
"Why do you keep doing that?"
"Nothing really." Sadie continued to play with her stress ball.
Hermione and Sadie continued to talk on the way to London. They got on the plane and a few hours later they arrived in their destination.
"This place is amazing." Sadie clapped her hands. "I can't believe you never took me here!"
"Too many memories." Hermione breathed out.
The mother and daughter walked to the exit of the airport.
"Hermione!" A voice called out. The two Grangers turned to see who it was.
"Hi Great Aunt Gracie!!" Sadie flung her arms around her great aunt, Ashley's mother.
"Hey baby. Come on you two I'll take you to the hotel. You guys can just hang out there until tonight the engagement party will be there as well."
"Cool. We don't even have to leave the hotel." Sadie giggled.
"You brought the big guy." Gracie pointed out.
"Mom doesn't let me go anywhere without him." Sadie rolled her eyes. Something caught her eye. "Chocolates!!" Sadie ran to the counter and not a second later K was running behind her.
Hermione gave her Aunt Gracie a weak smile.
"She's spoiled." Gracie shook her head.
"She is but she also knows how to work for stuff and she's not a brat." Hermione told her cousin. "She's spoiled but in a different way."
Sadie grabbed a couple of chocolates and went to pay for it.
"Ooof!" Sadie coughed. She had hit something or someone. K quickly picked her up and assisted the one she hit as well.
"Thank K." She smiled up at her body guard. She turned to the person she hit. "I'm really sorry."
She looked at him. "Me too."
She walked away from the boy and walked to the counter.
"Let's go." She smiled up at her mom and great aunt.
The three girls headed towards the Hyatt (I don't even know if they have this hotel in London.)
"I'll leave you two here to settle down. You have the entire day to just relax." Gracie kissed the two girls on the cheek and left the room.
"I'm going to snooze." Hermione lay down on the king-sized bed that she and Gracie were going to share.
"I'll unpack a little then I'll head down for a swim." Sadie told her mother.
"Go across the hall and tell K so that he can come with you." Hermione shut her eyes.
"I know mom." Sadie was used to having K follow her around but still she chose to argue with her mom about having him around all the time. It wasn't fun to walk around with some big guy trailing behind you. It attracts more attention.
Sadie got her stuff and began to unpack. She walked out of their hotel room for a moment and knocked on K's door.
"K, I'll be going down for a swim. Wear something a little more. casual." Sadie told home when he answered the door.
"Hello to you too Miss Thing." K rolled his eyes. That was K's nickname for Sadie.
"See you ten bear." Sadie used his nickname as well.
She turned around and headed back to her room. Sadie walked into the bathroom and changed into a blue bathing suit. She studied her reflection.
"I really do need to gain more weight." She told herself. She put her on her denim shorts and grabbed her towel.
She walked over to her bedside and grabbed the small denim bag with her phone and wallet and of course life's most important resource. her chocolate. She took out the Milky Way bar and began to munch on it.
"K." She knocked.
"Let's go princess." He followed her. "Can I get a piece of that bar?"
Sadie opened her bag and handed him a new bar.
"Thank you." He opened the bar and soon they arrived at the poolside.
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE POOL. Harry Potter, Pansy Parkinson - Finnegan, Seamus Finnegan and Ginny Weasley were seated together under the umbrella talking about Draco's big wedding.
"He doesn't even know the girl and to make things worse her last name is Granger as well. How hard is that?" Harry asked his friends.
"I know." Pansy bit her lip. "It's nearly been fourteen years."
"Actually it's been fifteen." Seamus corrected her.
"No sixteen." Ginny rolled her eyes. Ginny counted the days since she had last seen Hermione. Hermione didn't even show up for their graduation. She just. disappeared.
No one understood why Hermione had left. Most people believed that it was because Ron died. Ginny shook her head at the thought of her brother. It affected her a lot but somehow she managed to move on without him.
"Look at that girl." Seamus looked as if he were going to have a heart attack.
Pansy glared at him.
"I must agree with you Seamus she is absolutely beautiful." Harry looked at the five foot-six, tall, lanky brown head.
Pansy glared at Harry and wacked Seamus on the head.
"No you idiots!" Seamus protested. "I didn't mean she was attractive!"
"There is no way you can't think she's ugly." Ginny protested. "She's a lovely girl. And look at that big guy behind her. She must be very rich."
"NO!!" Seamus yelled frustrated. "She looks exactly like Hermione!"
It had been a very long time since the friends mentioned her name. They were especially careful when Draco was around.
They looked at the girl as she turned to face them. She squinted her eyes as the glare of the sun hit her.
They were in shock as they saw that she looked exactly like Hermione, it was almost uncanny. The only difference was that she had straight hair and she was lanky. Hermione was more on the proportioned side. She grinned at the big guy who was talking to her.
"Maybe that's her father." Seamus wondered out loud.
"I was going to say how smart you were when you saw how much she looked like Hermione it's a good thing I didn't say anything" Pansy shook her head at her husband. "He's African-American plus he's huge! There is no way."
"I was just saying." Seamus began to reason out.
"Never mind just drop it." Ginny cut him.
The four friends sat together as they watched the girl swim.
"She looks really young." Harry spoke up. "I mean like fifteen or something."
"And your point is?" Pansy took a sip from her drink.
'She can't be her kid. That would mean." Harry began to calculate. "Hermione would've been about seventeen or something."
"No one was saying that she was Hermione's kid." Ginny protested. "We're just saying how much she looked like her."
"Like whom?" A new voice entered the conversation.
"Oh, hi Draco." Ginny stuttered.
"Hey." Harry stood up and shook Draco's hand. The five of them had been friends for almost eighteen years now.
"Who looks like whom?" Draco asked curiously.
"Oh, we were just saying how much." Seamus stalled. "Ginny here looked like. Mrs. WEASLY!!"
The friends burst out laughing all except Ginny and Draco.
"I don't think that's funny." Ginny crossed her arms.
The friends had definitely grown to be amazing people. They all looked the same except that they looked older and they were definitely a lot taller now.
Someone laughed really loud. The friends turned towards the sound.
The girl with long brown hair was laughing at the big guy beside her. They seemed to be having an interesting conversation. The big guy quickly picked her up and she began to squeal. He threw her into the pool.
"My mom didn't hire you to torment me." She stuck her tongue out at him.
Draco looked at the little girl in shock. He just stared at her.
"She looks." he began. He knew that he needed to get over Hermione. "Hermione."
"She does doesn't she." Pansy added as she pointed to the empty seat.
"So wedding jitters much?" Harry asked his friend.
"The bride is an amazing girl but she's just not the one for me." Draco shook his head.
The afternoon sped by as the friends continued to chatter away.
Sadie finally got out of the pool dried up and put her denim shorts back on.
She began walk towards the direction of Harry and the rest of the group.
"Okay so what is the princess going to do now?" K asked Sadie as she began to walk backwards to face him.
"I don't know." The group looked up at the teenager. Her twang was really strong and they figured that she definitely wasn't from London.
Coming from the corner a young man was holding his ice tea when. bam!!!
Sadie bumped the boy and the ice tea flew on Ginny.
Ginny sat there her hands raised. Sadie turned around to see the boy.
"Do you always bump into people or just me?" He asked in a friendly manner. He turned to the girl. "Sorry Aunt Ginny."
K stepped in front of Sadie.
"It's okay, K. I can handle this." She looked up at her bodyguard.
She turned to Ginny. "I'm really sorry ma'am. I'll be willing to pay for any damage to your clothes." She smiled weakly.
"It's no trouble." Ginny stood up. "I'll just go fix myself up be right back."
She walked away from the group.
Then she turned to the boy. "And I'll go buy you a new ice tea. make that two."
Sadie turned to Draco. Their eyes locked and Sadie smiled weakly at the group.
"Come on." She turned to the boy.
"By the way my name is Ryan." He put out his hand. "Ryan Weasley."
"Sadie." She shook it. "Sadie Granger."
"You mean like the Granger of HG Production Company?" He asked.
"Yeah. Nobody really bothers about the production companies I'm surprised you know of it." Sadie smiled. "Usually people just look at the movies stars and never bother about the people who really work hard for it."
"I'm really into movie making. Like what really goes on behind the scenes and stuff."
Sadie looked at the man behind the counter. "Three ice tea's please. Do you want both of yours now? I'll order four."
"It's okay." He smiled at her.
She handed K his ice tea and asked him to wait for her by the entrance to the hotel reluctantly he gave in. The two teenagers continued to talk.
"What brings you here?" Ryan asked.
"Wedding. My aunt is getting married."
"Cool me too. Only it's the friend of my aunt who's getting married they allowed me to tag along."
"Cool. So we're both in London for wedding how funky is that?" Sadie giggled.
"Very. uh. how do you say. funky." Ryan's British accent was thick.
Sadie laughed. Sadie's phone began to ring.
"Talk to me." She whispered into the phone.
"Yes. This is Christina Aguilera and I would like to purchase an order for a daughter preferably one named Sadie."
"Mom." Sadie groaned. "I thought you like Britney?"
"Do you even know who she is?" Hermione laughed into the phone.
"Some chick singer from your time and for your information she is still hot now." Sadie laughed.
"Like me." Hermione laughed.
"Besides the point."
"The child I bore does not want to talk to me." Hermione said sadly.
"Mom!" Sadie whined. "What is up?"
"Nothing, you just need to come up and get ready for this thing of your favorite aunt."
"Mom, she's my only aunt." Sadie corrected.
"Up, now."
"Saying bye, now." Sadie laughed.
"Love you, baby."
"You too, mom." Sadie smiled.
"Say it."
"What?"
"I love you."
"No."
"You're with a boy aren't you! It's only been a couple of hours and you already found a hottie. Ask him if he has a brother!!"
"Mom. This is me putting down the phone."
"And this is me giving you ten minutes to come up."
"Be right there." Sadie put down her cell and turned back to Ryan. "I'm really sorry. I've got to go now. See you around maybe."
"You too. Nice meeting you, Sadie."
Sadie ran to the entrance of the hotel and grabbed K.
"Record time!" Hermione yelled when she got into the hotel.
"HA!" Sadie walked into the bathroom and began to take a shower. Minutes later Hermione walked in.
"Mom, I'm taking a shower here."
"So? There's another one right across."
"Gotcha!"
The two girls were finally ready. As the two were leaving the hotel telephone rang. Hermione walked to it and answered it.
"Hello?" Hermione paused. "One sec. Baby, you go down ahead and I'll catch up. Soothe your Aunt Ashley for me."
"Can do." Sadie smiled. She opened the door to find K in a suit and ready. "You're coming?"
"Yep but down worry I'll only follow you around 'til you get your seat." K smiled. "That's when I'll just stand behind you."
"Not funny." Sadie glared at him.
"You're looking very lovely today princess."
"Thanks. Mama wanted me to wear it. She had one just like this when she was younger of course now this is just a replica. She used to her last Yule Ball in the school she used to go to."
"Interesting." K nodded his head.
Sadie was wearing a sparkling blue dress that reached only until her knees and she wore a clear baby blue shawl over it. On her feet was a pair of baby blue heels.
"Only problem is you look way to tall."
"Five-six plus two makes five-eight. Now I can be a super model." Sadie laughed.
They took the elevator down to the Mackenzie Hall.

"Thank you mama. For once in my life I feel like I'm closer to my father." Sadie smiled not meaning to offend Hermione in anyway.

The next month flew by quickly soon it was time for Hermione and Sadie to go to London for the engagement party which was still a week before the wedding.
"Mother!" Sadie whined.
"My little offspring has called on me to go to her. Why can't she just come to the one who was in labor with her for nearly twenty four hours and at the age of seventeen might I add." Hermione laughed.
Sadie looked at her mom. "We were supposed to be in the airport ten minutes ago."
"Ahh. the wonders of owning your own plane my dear child." Hermione tapped her head.
"Okay." Sadie rolled her eyes. "But do I really have to bring K? I mean no one is going to kidnap me in London."
"Do you want to be able to go around London with out your old, withered mother?" Hermione looked at her daughter jokingly.
"My mother is not old and withered." Sadie shook her head. "But of course I wouldn't mind going to a few malls there on my own."
"So now you know the answer. No K, no malls, no hanging out and worse of all. no meeting absolutely adorable, hot English boys." Hermione laughed as they got into the car.
"Mom!!" Sadie scrunched her nose in disgust.
"So what? Oh and if you see any cute guys ask him if he has brother's my age." Hermione laughed.

"Hi Great Aunt Gracie!!" Sadie flung her arms around her great aunt, Ashley's mother.
"Hey baby. Come on you two I'll take you to the hotel. You guys can just hang out there until tonight the engagement party will be there as well."
"Cool. We don't even have to leave the hotel." Sadie giggled.
"You brought the big guy." Gracie pointed out.
"Mom doesn't let me go anywhere without him." Sadie rolled her eyes. Something caught her eye. "Chocolates!!" Sadie ran to the counter and not a second later K was running behind her.
Hermione gave her Aunt Gracie a weak smile.
"She's spoiled." Gracie shook her head.

"I'll leave you two here to settle down. You have the entire day to just relax." Gracie kissed the two girls on the cheek and left the room.

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE POOL. Harry Potter, Pansy Parkinson - Finnegan, Seamus Finnegan and Ginny Weasley were seated together under the umbrella talking about Draco's big wedding.
"He doesn't even know the girl and to make things worse her last name is Granger as well. How hard is that?" Harry asked his friends.
"I know." Pansy bit her lip. "It's nearly been fourteen years."

"Never mind just drop it." Ginny cut him.
The four friends sat together as they watched the girl swim.
"She looks really young." Harry spoke up. "I mean like fifteen or something."
"And your point is?" Pansy took a sip from her drink.
'She can't be her kid. That would mean." Harry began to calculate. "Hermione would've been about seventeen or something."
"No one was saying that she was Hermione's kid." Ginny protested. "We're just saying how much she looked like her."
"Like whom?" A new voice entered the conversation.
"Oh, hi Draco." Ginny stuttered.
"Hey." Harry stood up and shook Draco's hand. The five of them had been friends for almost eighteen years now.
"Who looks like whom?" Draco asked curiously.
"Oh, we were just saying how much." Seamus stalled. "Ginny here looked like. Mrs. WEASLY!!"
The friends burst out laughing all except Ginny and Draco.
"I don't think that's funny." Ginny crossed her arms.
The friends had definitely grown to be amazing people. They all looked the same except that they looked older and they were definitely a lot taller now.
Someone laughed really loud. The friends turned towards the sound.
The girl with long brown hair was laughing at the big guy beside her. They seemed to be having an interesting conversation. The big guy quickly picked her up and she began to squeal. He threw her into the pool.
"My mom didn't hire you to torment me." She stuck her tongue out at him.
Draco looked at the little girl in shock. He just stared at her.
"She looks." he began. He knew that he needed to get over Hermione. "Hermione."
"She does doesn't she." Pansy added as she pointed to the empty seat.
"So wedding jitters much?" Harry asked his friend.
"The bride is an amazing girl but she's just not the one for me." Draco shook his head.
The afternoon sped by as the friends continued to chatter away.
Sadie finally got out of the pool dried up and put her denim shorts back on.
She began walk towards the direction of Harry and the rest of the group.
"Okay so what is the princess going to do now?" K asked Sadie as she began to walk backwards to face him.
"I don't know." The group looked up at the teenager. Her twang was really strong and they figured that she definitely wasn't from London.
Coming from the corner a young man was holding his ice tea when. bam!!!
Sadie bumped the boy and the ice tea flew on Ginny.
Ginny sat there her hands raised. Sadie turned around to see the boy.
"Do you always bump into people or just me?" He asked in a friendly manner. He turned to the girl. "Sorry Aunt Ginny."
K stepped in front of Sadie.
"It's okay, K. I can handle this." She looked up at her bodyguard.
She turned to Ginny. "I'm really sorry ma'am. I'll be willing to pay for any damage to your clothes." She smiled weakly.
"It's no trouble." Ginny stood up. "I'll just go fix myself up be right back."
She walked away from the group.
Then she turned to the boy. "And I'll go buy you a new ice tea. make that two."
Sadie turned to Draco. Their eyes locked and Sadie smiled weakly at the group.
"Come on." She turned to the boy.
"By the way my name is Ryan." He put out his hand. "Ryan Weasley."
"Sadie." She shook it. "Sadie Granger."
"You mean like the Granger of HG Production Company?" He asked.
"Yeah. Nobody really bothers about the production companies I'm surprised you know of it." Sadie smiled. "Usually people just look at the movies stars and never bother about the people who really work hard for it."
"I'm really into movie making. Like what really goes on behind the scenes and stuff."
Sadie looked at the man behind the counter. "Three ice tea's please. Do you want both of yours now? I'll order four."
"It's okay." He smiled at her.
She handed K his ice tea and asked him to wait for her by the entrance to the hotel reluctantly he gave in. The two teenagers continued to talk.
"What brings you here?" Ryan asked.
"Wedding. My aunt is getting married."
"Cool me too. Only it's the friend of my aunt who's getting married they allowed me to tag along."
"Cool. So we're both in London for wedding how funky is that?" Sadie giggled.
"Very. uh. how do you say. funky." Ryan's British accent was thick.
Sadie laughed. Sadie's phone began to ring.
"Talk to me." She whispered into the phone.
"Yes. This is Christina Aguilera and I would like to purchase an order for a daughter preferably one named Sadie."
"Mom." Sadie groaned. "I thought you like Britney?"
"Do you even know who she is?" Hermione laughed into the phone.
"Some chick singer from your time and for your information she is still hot now." Sadie laughed.
"Like me." Hermione laughed.
"Besides the point."
"The child I bore does not want to talk to me." Hermione said sadly.
"Mom!" Sadie whined. "What is up?"
"Nothing, you just need to come up and get ready for this thing of your favorite aunt."
"Mom, she's my only aunt." Sadie corrected.
"Up, now."
"Saying bye, now." Sadie laughed.
"Love you, baby."
"You too, mom." Sadie smiled.
"Say it."
"What?"
"I love you."
"No."
"You're with a boy aren't you! It's only been a couple of hours and you already found a hottie. Ask him if he has a brother!!"
"Mom. This is me putting down the phone."
"And this is me giving you ten minutes to come up."
"Be right there." Sadie put down her cell and turned back to Ryan. "I'm really sorry. I've got to go now. See you around maybe."
"You too. Nice meeting you, Sadie."
Sadie ran to the entrance of the hotel and grabbed K.
"Record time!" Hermione yelled when she got into the hotel.
"HA!" Sadie walked into the bathroom and began to take a shower. Minutes later Hermione walked in.
"Mom, I'm taking a shower here."
"So? There's another one right across."
"Gotcha!"
The two girls were finally ready. As the two were leaving the hotel telephone rang. Hermione walked to it and answered it.
"Hello?" Hermione paused. "One sec. Baby, you go down ahead and I'll catch up. Soothe your Aunt Ashley for me."
"Can do." Sadie smiled. She opened the door to find K in a suit and ready. "You're coming?"
"Yep but down worry I'll only follow you around 'til you get your seat." K smiled. "That's when I'll just stand behind you."
"Not funny." Sadie glared at him.
"You're looking very lovely today princess."
"Thanks. Mama wanted me to wear it. She had one just like this when she was younger of course now this is just a replica. She used to her last Yule Ball in the school she used to go to."
"Interesting." K nodded his head.
Sadie was wearing a sparkling blue dress that reached only until her knees and she wore a clear baby blue shawl over it. On her feet was a pair of baby blue heels.
"Only problem is you look way to tall."
"Five-six plus two makes five-eight. Now I can be a super model." Sadie laughed.
They took the elevator down to the Mackenzie Hall.
