Corrections from the past chapter: ex. Hermione (HARRY)-this is the correction.
"I'm going to snooze." Hermione lay down on the king-sized bed that she and Gracie (SADIE) were going to share.
And there are probably more errors but I'm only human, right? : )
BTW: I said I was giving inspirational quotes from now on I'll just give quotes that I like some inspirational and some that are not. : )
~*~*~*~
"One day you'll want me as I loved you. One day you'll think of me as I thought of you. One day you'll cry for me as I cried for you. One day you'll want me but I won't want you." - Anonymous
Hermione sat on her bed talking to Sandra her personal secretary.
"We're having some problems with the new production staff. They are running out of ideas. And it was highly recommended that we fire at least five people." Sandra informed her.
"First of all I don't fire people. And second give them a week off they just need to replenish their creative juices."
"Whatever you say, boss. Sorry to disturb."
"No problem."
Hermione put down the phone and opened the door. It just so happens that the minute she opens the door Draco passed by quickly not seeing her. Hermione quickly slammed the door and ran to the bathroom.
"Of all days!" She gasped. "Good Lord give me strength."
Hermione couldn't believe he was here. She had no intention of ever seeing him or any of her friends from Hogwarts for the rest of her life. It wasn't that she was scared or that she hated them she was ashamed but since Sadie came she wasn't ashamed anymore.
She wore an identical outfit to Sadie's only a little longer and the entire outfit was sparkling white. She let her hair down as it hung loosely around her shoulders. The only thing that accented her outfit was the beautiful diamond necklace that her father gave her before he died.
She ran the brush through hair and before stepping out the door she managed to breath out. "Help my God."
~*~*~*~
Sadie with the locket her mother had given her. It was a picture of her mother and father hugging and on the other side a picture of herself when she was just a baby. Blonde hair and all.
She walked into the ballroom and spotted her great aunt.
"GAG!" She called Gracie by her nickname.
"Yes dear." She turns to her niece.
"Where can I find Aunt Ashley?" She smiles .She pointed a newly French- tipped nail to the small door beside the stage.
"Thanks." She smiled.
"Wait!" Gracie called out. Sadie walked back.
"Yeah?" She smile.
"This is Mr. And Mrs. Myers, Mr. Bing, Mrs. Cox and Lady Veronica." She introduced them one by one.
"It's a pleasure to meet you all." She smiled cordially. "Please excuse me my mother requested that I go see my aunt first."
The six adults nodded their heads.
"Thank you." Sadie smiled and walked away.
"What a lovely girl." "Absolutely enchanting."
"Thank you. She takes after her mother really." Gracie pointed out. The adults continued to chatter as the hall began to fill up.
~*~*~*~
Sadie walked into the room slowly.
"Aunt Ashley? It's me Sadie." She announced her presence.
"How's my little bumblebee?" Ashley asked trying to sound happy.
"How's me? How's you?" Sadie shook her head. "Really you look terrible."
"Somehow you dampened my mood more." Ashley replied bluntly.
"It's truth." Sadie said honestly.
"Oh! My ego feels so much better now." Ashley said with a hint of sarcasm and sadness.
"Sorry." She gave her aunt a weak smile.
"All good." Ashley kissed her forehead. "Go back to the party and let all the guests see my beautiful favorite niece."
"One I'm your only niece and two you know I hate flattery especially when it's not true." Sadie replied modestly.
"Oh I bet you accept flattery from all the boys who court you."
"I only know one type of court and it has a relation to a thing called basketball." Sadie tossed her hair back.
"Now go!! My beautiful, oh-so-intelligent-and-charming-niece!" Ashley smiled.
"Enough!" She opens the door.
"Bye, little-charismatic-charming-one."
"Ugh!"
The moment Sadie stepped out of the room she bumped a soft black round ball.
"Oof!"
"Sorry, Miss Thing."
"Ten bear. Still there, huh?" She smirked. Little did she know that a tall elegant lady was standing right behind the big guy. The lady answered to the name, Narcissa. Narcissa glanced at the teenager catching the smirk she gave to what seemed like her bodyguard.
Narcissa could tell that smirk anywhere. The young girl smirked exactly like her son. Finally the little girl noticed Narcissa and quickly moved a way. Narcissa gave Sadie a small smile and walked away. Sadie looked towards the entrance of the door.
"Mom!" She called out to Hermione.
~*~*~*~
Hermione stepped into the ballroom looking for her daughter and her cousin. Soon she heard the voice her daughter calling out. She looked around the room and spotted most of the people she never intended to see again. The group quickly turned her way when her name was called. Hermione paced quickly towards her daughter.
"Where's Ashley?" She mumbled quickly. Sadie pointed to the door behind her. Hermione went inside as Gracie approached Sadie.
"Sadie I'd like to show you off to all my new relatives and friends." Gracie smiled at her. Before Sadie could protest Gracie took her hand as they began to walk past people one by one Gracie introduced Sadie. Although she hated it when people complimented her she gracefully thanked them when they did.
Gracie called a certain man towards them.
"Where's the groom?" Sadie asked GAG.
"He's in his room cooling off as well. The two love-birds will not come out until their names are announced."
"Uncle Andy!" She ran towards Ashley's father. He was like her own grandfather, his brother died a few moths before she was born. They said their hello's and soon enough GAG was introducing Sadie to everyone again.
"Ah. the people who've wanted to meet you." Gracie began. When Sadie looked at the group she realized that the girl with red hair was the on she spilled all the iced tea on. "Harry Potter, Seamus and Pansy Finnegan and Ginny Weasley. And this little beauty beside me is Sadie."
"Hello." Sadie smiled politely. The four adults just stared at her. "What?" She was beginning to be conscious.
"You look exactly like Hermione." Ginny breathed as she tightened her grip on Harry's hand.
"Oh yeah!" Sadie smiled. "She's my mom!" She said proudly, she flung her arms out and hit someone square on the face. Hoping it was K she turned around slowly. "Oops." She bit her lip.
"Ow, Granger." Ryan rubbed his nose. The four adults were in shock when he used Hermione's last name instead of someone else's.
"You." They said in unison.
"I knew I was only one you bumped in to." Ryan laughed.
"Oh no." She beamed. "I bumped into K a few moments ago."
"So we're going to the same wedding, huh?"
"Yeah." She smirked. Everyone knew that smirk they just couldn't remember who it belonged to.
"Oh, yeah. This is my aunt." Ryan pointed to Ginny. Sadie smiled at her once again.
The MC walks on stage as he announces the couple's arrival but doesn't state the name.
"It was nice meeting you all." Sadie smiled one last time as K escorted her and Gracie to their seats. Once again she began to fumble with her locket.
*~*~*~*~
Hermione spent the next ten minutes soothing Ashley.
"You're on in ten." The wedding planner informed her.
"I feel like a popstar when they say that." Ashley began to tear.
"Hey, that's a good thing." Hermione smiled. "And you sure look like one."
"That's not what your daughter said." Ashley began to laugh and cry at the same time. "I don't love him."
"You should go we'll talk more later."
Ashley pulled away from her cousin's shoulder. "Now look you're all wet."
"You go and I'll freshen up." She began to wipe herself with a tissue. Ashley walked out of the room.
Hermione stood up and opened the door.
"And the groom. Draco Malfoy." Hermione stopped as gripped tightened on the knob. She frantically searched for her daughter.
Sadie on the other hand just stood up and looked at her father for the first time in her life. Tears gathered in her eyes.
"Daddy." She whispered to herself. It was the first time she had ever used that word. She prayed and hoped that it wouldn't be her last. Suddenly she felt all the energy in her drain out. She mustered up all that she had left to run out of the ballroom. Hermione gasped and her motherly instinct took over her.
"Sadie!" She called out running towards the door that seemed so far.
Harry and the rest of the gang stood up.
"Hermione!" Ginny called out.
Hermione glanced at their table and then looked towards the stage. There she saw the eyes that she had been dreaming about for the last fifteen years. Tears sprang from her eyes as she ran out of the room. Chaos took over as the people in the ballroom began to chatter. Hermione bumped into K.
"Where were you?" Hermione growled in anger.
"I." K began to stutter. "I was in the bathroom."
"She just ran out. We have to find her." Hermione's tears were now flowing freely.
K and Hermione searched all around the hotel.
~*~*~*~
Meanwhile inside the ballroom Hermione's friends were having a little drama of their own.
"Oh, gosh! I can't believe we saw her again." Ginny whispered to Harry. "We have to go talk to her. What happened to her daughter?"
"I don't know but I want to find out." Harry stood up. Ginny and Harry told Pansy and Seamus to stay behind so that nothing would be too obvious to Draco.
"I had no idea she still had contact with Draco." Ginny rubbed her forehead.
"It's not Draco she's here for. He's marrying her cousin." Harry told Ginny.
The two walked to the lobby and got Hermione's room from the information counter. Harry and Ginny made their way up to Hermione's room.
"Knock three times, Harry." Ginny looked at him.
"Why?" Harry asked.
"Good luck." Harry rolled his eyes and knocked.
"Sadie?" Hermione's frantic voice came to the door. She quickly opened it.
"Hi." Harry looked at Hermione.
"Harry. OMG!" Hermione wrapped her arms around him and began to cry harder. She collected herself then finally let them in.
"Oh, Hermione it's so good to see you." Ginny sighed as the two old friends hugged.
Hermione wiped her tears. "You ever expect to see me like this? I'm a mess, I can't find my daughter."
"Sadie?" Ginny asked.
"How come you know?"
"Well aside the facts that you called her name when she ran out awhile ago, and that she looks exactly like you. We were introduced to her." Harry told Hermione.
"I just need to find her." Hermione closed her eyes.
"And you will." Ginny comforted her friend.
"Who's looking for her?" Harry asked.
"Her bodyguard and a couple of other people from the hotel. The guards all around have been alerted to let me know if she tries to leave the hotel."
~*~*~*~
Draco excused himself from the party. It was getting to rowdy for him. Sure the people there were all educated and all posh and everything but when they got snotty it got annoying. He told Ashley that he would go for a walk for an hour and she gracefully smiled at him and let him go. And it wasn't only because of the party but because of the scene that little girl made awhile ago. He finally saw Hermione after so many years. Draco discovered moments ago that she was the first cousin of the bride and that she was Ashley's maid of honor. He didn't know whether to be happy or break down and cry. Draco had been looking for Hermione for the last fifteen years. Her mother never gave him any information and Dumbledore had no idea where she was. It was like she just erased herself from the rest of the world not caring about the people who would be left behind, the people who would be hurt or the people who would miss her.
~*~*~*~
Sadie fumbled with her locket as she cried on the rooftop of the hotel (I know it's not allowed let's just allow it this once okay?) Hot tears kept falling from her eyes. She was in so much pain right now. The moment that the MC announced Draco's name Sadie felt both overjoyed and heartbroken all at once. For the first time in her life she was aware that the man before her was her father. For the first time in her life she felt like a normal teenager with both a mother and a father. And for the first time in her life everything just seemed to be so wrong that she just wanted to get everything over with and die.
Sadie looked at the view of the hotel. London was absolutely breath taking. A noise came from the door.
'Shit. Don't tell me someone found me already.' Sadie thought to herself. A figure began to walk towards her.
"Hey." She mumbled to the stranger beside her.
The stranger studied her for a moment. He spoke up, "I know you. You're the kid that ran out of my engagement party."
Sadie's heart stopped and her eyes got big. She slowly turned to the man beside her and her hands were shaking. She brought her hands up to her mouth as she began to cry harder.
"What? Why are you crying?" The voice sounded annoyed and worried.
"I. I." Sadie lost her words. She looked at the man and let her feelings get the better of her. She flung her arms around the man.
"Wooh!" Draco tried to push her away.
She looked at him confused. He had no idea who she was.
"Who are you?" He looked at her.
"Sadie." Was all she managed to mutter. "I'm your daughter."
Her words hit Draco like lightning. "Look kid I don't have a daughter."
Sadie began to play with her locket again not realizing that the chain was about to give in at any moment.
"I am your daughter. Don't you get it? For the last fifteen years I was away from you wondering who you were and what you looked like. You never, ever bothered to look for me. Not one birthday card, not one Christmas card but what you don't realize is that from the moment that I could write I would make you a father's day card. But you don't get it do you? I probably look like some crazy teenager. You didn't even try to contact me! You are an ass." She glared at him.
"I do not have a daughter!!!" Draco yelled at her.
She cringed when he said those words. "You really don't want me, huh?"
"I told you. I don't have a daughter." Draco was getting very angry.
"Keep telling yourself that." Sadie backed away from him.
"I don't have." Draco began to protest again.
"I hate you." Sadie shook her head and ran out of the place.
~*~*~*~
Hermione sat in her bed crying and talking to Harry and Ginny when someone knocked on the door. Hermione ran to the door and quickly opened it.
"Sadie." She breathed out and wrapped her arms around her daughter. Sadie looked shaken up but she was able to compose herself.
"Hi." She gave Harry and Ginny a weak smile.
"We should go." Ginny tugged Harry's shirt as she stood up.
"No. Stay." Sadie told them. "I just need a bath but I'll be okay."
She walked into the bathroom.
"She seems to know how to handle everything." Hermione smiled to herself.
"She's just like her mother." Harry and Ginny said at the same time.
"No. I wasn't like that at my age." Hermione walked back to her friends. She had to admit that right now she really needed them.
"You were." Ginny corrected her. "You were smart, intelligent and most of all brave."
"But you didn't know how to handle yourself." Harry laughed.
"That's true. I mean look at her, she always looks so collected, so confident." Hermione said proudly.
"You sound like one proud mother." Ginny beamed at her friend.
"Believe me I am."
The three friends continued to catch up when someone knocked on the door.
"One sec." Hermione walked over. "Oh wow! This is like a reunion."
Pansy and Seamus were standing there with Ryan beside them.
"You two have a kid?" She pointed to Ryan.
"Oh no. This one right here is a Weasley." Pansy looked at the boy.
"But. his hair." Hermione muttered as they walked into the room.
"George or was that Fred? Finally found the girl to tame the hair color." Seamus laughed.
Hermione escorted them to the "sala" of the hotel room.
"How'd you two find us?" Harry asked.
"The same way you found Hermione."
"Oh Hermione, this is my nephew Ryan. He's the son of George." Ginny introduced them. "Your daughter met him today."
"Yeah." Ryan laughed. "Like three times."
Hermione smiled at the boy.
"Mom." Sadie's voice was approaching them. She was now dressed in cotton blue jogging pants and spaghetti straps. Her towel was wrapped around her head. "Oh, no one told me there was going to be a party here."
Hermione stood up and walked towards her daughter.
"Everyone this is my daughter Sadie." She wrapped one arm around her.
"We figured as much." Seamus smiled.
"Hey Ryan." She smiled at the boy.
"How old are you?" Seamus asked.
"I just turned fifteen." Sadie smiled.
The friends sat there in shock. "Hermione, how? Who?"
"Sixteen years ago." Hermione decided that it was finally time to tell her friends the whole story. She took a seat on the floor and Sadie sat down beside her. From time to time she would laugh and sometimes cry at a certain parts of her story. She told them how she coped at what she went through.
"Wow!" Ginny breathed. All the girls in the group were now tearing.
"So your father is." Pansy looked at Sadie.
"Oh guess who I bumped into?" Sadie said bluntly. Everyone in the room turned to Sadie. Sadie looked at her mother. "He doesn't want me mama."

"I. I." Sadie lost her words. She looked at the man and let her feelings get the better of her. She flung her arms around the man.
"Wooh!" Draco tried to push her away.
She looked at him confused. He had no idea who she was.
"Who are you?" He looked at her.
"Sadie." Was all she managed to mutter. "I'm your daughter."
Her words hit Draco like lightning. "Look kid I don't have a daughter."
Sadie began to play with her locket again not realizing that the chain was about to give in at any moment.
"I am your daughter. Don't you get it? For the last fifteen years I was away from you wondering who you were and what you looked like. You never, ever bothered to look for me. Not one birthday card, not one Christmas card but what you don't realize is that from the moment that I could write I would make you a father's day card. But you don't get it do you? I probably look like some crazy teenager. You didn't even try to contact me! You are an ass." She glared at him.
"I do not have a daughter!!!" Draco yelled at her.
She cringed when he said those words. "You really don't want me, huh?"
"I told you. I don't have a daughter." Draco was getting very angry.
"Keep telling yourself that." Sadie backed away from him.
"I don't have." Draco began to protest again.
"I hate you." Sadie shook her head and ran out of the place.

Hermione sat in her bed crying and talking to Harry and Ginny when someone knocked on the door. Hermione ran to the door and quickly opened it.
"Sadie." She breathed out and wrapped her arms around her daughter. Sadie looked shaken up but she was able to compose herself.
"Hi." She gave Harry and Ginny a weak smile.
"We should go." Ginny tugged Harry's shirt as she stood up.
"No. Stay." Sadie told them. "I just need a bath but I'll be okay."
She walked into the bathroom.
"She seems to know how to handle everything." Hermione smiled to herself.
"She's just like her mother." Harry and Ginny said at the same time.
"No. I wasn't like that at my age." Hermione walked back to her friends. She had to admit that right now she really needed them.
"You were." Ginny corrected her. "You were smart, intelligent and most of all brave."
"But you didn't know how to handle yourself." Harry laughed.
"That's true. I mean look at her, she always looks so collected, so confident." Hermione said proudly.
"You sound like one proud mother." Ginny beamed at her friend.
"Believe me I am."
The three friends continued to catch up when someone knocked on the door.
"One sec." Hermione walked over. "Oh wow! This is like a reunion."
Pansy and Seamus were standing there with Ryan beside them.
"You two have a kid?" She pointed to Ryan.
"Oh no. This one right here is a Weasley." Pansy looked at the boy.
"But. his hair." Hermione muttered as they walked into the room.
"George or was that Fred? Finally found the girl to tame the hair color." Seamus laughed.
Hermione escorted them to the "sala" of the hotel room.
"How'd you two find us?" Harry asked.
"The same way you found Hermione."
"Oh Hermione, this is my nephew Ryan. He's the son of George." Ginny introduced them. "Your daughter met him today."
"Yeah." Ryan laughed. "Like three times."
Hermione smiled at the boy.
"Mom." Sadie's voice was approaching them. She was now dressed in cotton blue jogging pants and spaghetti straps. Her towel was wrapped around her head. "Oh, no one told me there was going to be a party here."
Hermione stood up and walked towards her daughter.
"Everyone this is my daughter Sadie." She wrapped one arm around her.
"We figured as much." Seamus smiled.
"Hey Ryan." She smiled at the boy.
"How old are you?" Seamus asked.
"I just turned fifteen." Sadie smiled.
The friends sat there in shock. "Hermione, how? Who?"
"Sixteen years ago." Hermione decided that it was finally time to tell her friends the whole story. She took a seat on the floor and Sadie sat down beside her. From time to time she would laugh and sometimes cry at a certain parts of her story. She told them how she coped at what she went through.
"Wow!" Ginny breathed. All the girls in the group were now tearing.
"So your father is." Pansy looked at Sadie.
"Oh guess who I bumped into?" Sadie said bluntly. Everyone in the room turned to Sadie. Sadie looked at her mother. "He doesn't want me mama."
