Chapter Two
"Twenty Years Later"
The train leaving London chugged along at a reasonable speed.The day was breathtaking.The fresh sign of fall was etched in all of the trees with golden browns,cheerful yellows,marvelous reds,and sleepy oranges.The lakes and landscape dazzled in the high noon sun.Everything looked as placid and romantic as a Monet painting.A young woman of twenty-two years of age sat in a compartment to herself,reading a book about famous ancient potions,spells,and curses.She was very pretty.Her deep cinammon eyes scanned the pages as her long and curled at the ends hazelnut hair was ruffled by a gentle breeze escaping through the opened window.Her pinkened lips mumbled softly as she read every word silently to herself.Her long and delicate fingers held the book against her deep amber robes.A soft knock on the compartment door interrupted her from her reading.
"Professor Granger?"asked a small voice.
"Yes."Professor Granger.
"It's Elizabeth Prammer.May I enter?I-I just want someone to talk to."said the small voice.
Professor Granger smiled.
"Sure Elizabeth."Professor Granger.
The door was pushed aside as a short and terribly thin young girl walked in.She had thick circular glasses,shocking curly red hair,and pale blue eyes.She was wearing her Hufflepuff robes and hled them up as she stepped in and closed the door.
"Have a seat by me."said Professor Granger while putting her book in a golden bag.
Elizabeth sat by Professor Granger.
"Professor Granger,I am so friendless."said Elizabeth.
"Call me Hermoine."said Professor Granger.
Elizabeth's eyes widened a little.
"Uh..Hermoine.What can I do to make friends?This is my second year at Hogwarts and I still have not made a single friend!"Elizabeth said in a sad tone.
Hermoine smiled.
"I have a feeling you'll make friends soon.Trust me."she said while patting the girl's hand.
Elizabeth nodded her head slowly before going to the door.
"I guess I'll see you at the Sorting Ceremony."said Elizabeth.
"Take care until then."said Hermoine.
Hermoine returned to her reading.She was the potions professor at Hogwarts.She had been since she was ninteen years old.Professor Snape had finally received the job as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.Harry and Ron had become aurors for the Ministry of Magic.She enjoyed working at Hogwarts.Professor Dumbledore had always been like a father to her and knew that Hermoien would be an excellent potions mistress.Hermoine checked her watch as the sun began to dip behind the mountains.The train began to slow down.Hermoine smiled at the familar sight of Hogwarts.She gathered her things,including her old and rusting orange cat,and unboarded the train.
" 'irts years o'er here!"boomed a voice.
"Hello Hagrid!'shouted Hermoine over the noise of the train and students.
Hagrid waved at Hermoine before leading a group of frightened first years to the lake.
Hermoine turned around and waited for the carriages to arrive.She saw Elizabeth talking to a girl with the same type of glasses and curly black hair.
"So your a first year?''asked Elizabeth.
"Yep.I hope I'm in Hufflepuff."said the girl.
"I'm in Hufflepuff.You'll love it."said Elizabeth as she walked the girl to the lake.
Hermoine smiled.She always knew that Elizabeth would make friends.Hermoine climbed into a carriage and calmed herself as she approached Hogwarts.She studied the aging castle as she got off the carriage.It was just like it was when she attended here.Professor McGonnagal stood in front of the castle doors.
"Hurry children!"she shouted.
"Hello Menirva!How are you?"said Hermoine.
Minerva looked down to Hermoine.A sweet smile passed over her face.
"It is always a pleasure to see one of my brightest pupils now successful adults."she said.
Hermoine blushed.She had always considered Menirva as a mother.The Sorting Ceremony went well.Hermione retreated to her quarters a little early to catch up on her sleep.

Harry slept uneasily that night.It was the 20th anniversary of his parents death.The reccurring dream of Lord Voldermort killing his parents had haunted him since that very night.Why his life was such a hell,he did not now.He got up from his bed and walked over to his dresser.He picked up a small,black velvet box and opened it.A golden ring with a large diamond rested upon a cushion of black silk.Harry smiled at it.He will present it to Hermoine soon.They have been boyfriend and girlfriend since their fifth year at Hogwarts.Harry knew his life will be whole again once he and Hermione are one.With Voldemort no longer a living thing,but a ghost,Harry cast his worries to his side.Nothing will ruin his life no more.
