Chapter 3: Telling
It was three days later and Hermione had been following her old group for three days straight. She never realised how much she missed them.
'Where did our friendship go? I said I was going and they all promised we would all stay friends, that was 6 years ago. What happened? Where did it all go? I wrote to them I remember, I wrote them letters and sent them to Mum telling them to send them to my friends. But I never got replies and after 9 months of no answer, I just gave up. And 6 years later this is where I ended up.'
Then it hit Hermione, had her mum sent on those letters!
"MUM!" yelled Hermione was she ran down the stairs into the kitchen.
Her Mum and Dad were both sitting there.
"Hermione what is it?" said Paula Granger slightly alarmed, "Has something happened?"
"Oh no Mum, it's nothing like that," answered Hermione.
"Oh thank goodness Hermione, you had me for awhile. What is it? " smiled Paula.
"Mum remember when I first went off to ahhh.school," answered Hermione.
"Yes"
"Well remember I asked you to send on those letters I wanted to give to my friends from primary school."
"Yes"
"Did you?"
"Offcourse I did Hermione"
"Oh..well did you get any letters back?"
"No Hermione dear, I didn't. Anyway why all the worry now? It was 6 years ago."
"Oh no reason really.."
"Oh good. Now let's get down to more serious matters," interrupted Hermione's Father.
"Serious matters?" asked Hermione,
"Your Mother and I have discussed the topic of ummm.magic and the new members of this household. We have decided it's in the best interests that we should tell David, Rose and Mia that you are.are a wit.witch," her Father stated.
"Ohmigod! Really?" exclaimed Hermione, with a dazed look on her face.
"Yes dear." started Paula, but before she could finish. Hermione had pulled her into a hug.
"Now Hermione there are some serious matters. Mia and Rose are just seven years old and they might let it slip. And David, he might not like the idea. Is there anything we can do to stop this?" said her Father in a more serious tone.
Hermione began to think. What if they did tell? There would be a lot of trouble. What could she do?
'What do I usually do when there is a problem?' thought Hermione.
"Offcourse!" exclaimed Hermione grinning and ran up stairs.
Paula and Rick just starred at where Hermione had gone, until she came back downstairs with a large book in her hands.
"I brought this last year, but why? Ohh yes, it was on sale," muttered Hermione, as she placed it on the table.
In gold writing was the title.
Muggle born Witches/Wizards and their family
"How could I forget this! Hmmm lets see. Mum and magic, Dad and magic, muggle household and magic. Ahh here we are Siblings and Magic." Hermione read, as she ran her finger down the page.
Hermione began to read.
' It is a great shock when a muggle become a Witch or Wizard, but is greatly
forgotten about the new Witches or Wizards family. They suddenly find
about a whole new world, which they cannot use themselves. Muggle
families usually cope very well with the adjustment to the Magic world,
but usually it is quite hard for young muggle children. As it is well known
any child, magic and muggle, has trouble with keeping secrets. Which can
lead to many problems. As such many muggle children are not told about the
world of magic until their older years. The method is frowned at by myself.
Witches and Wizards come out of an environment where magic is discussed
openly, to another where the word magic is just child's play. The sudden
change places a lot of unneeded stress onto the Witch or Wizard. It is my
suggestion, that muggle child are told as soon as possible. Offcourse the
problem arises that the child might tell, which is easily solved. A simple
secret-keeping spell. A simple spell which stops a muggle child from telling
the intended secret. It is harmless and can be easily removed when needed
(see back of book for the spell itself). But again a problem arises, who can
place this spell. The Witch or Wizard is underage and if the spell is
preformed, a lot of trouble will come of it. But I myself took it to solve the
problem. I am pleased to say that after a lot of campaigning, the secret-
keeping spell is not tracked by the Ministry of Magic '
It went silent after Hermione stopped talking, it seemed Paula and Rick needed to think about placing a spell on their children.
"Can you ahh.preform the spell?" asked Rick.
"Oh yes Dad, it was one of the first things I've ever learnt. It is very easy, I can say even a muggle can preform it. Well maybe not, but it is simple," answered Hermione.
"It won't hurt them, will it?" questioned Paula.
"No Mum. I've had it preformed on myself, I still laugh at that!..."
***** Hermione thought back when Ron and Harry practiced the spell on her in third year. Harry had just gone upstairs to bed and Ron ran over to me.
"Hermione, Hermione you won't believe what Harry's just told me!" Ron exclaimed.
"What did he tell you?" I answered. I was remotely interested, I thought it could be that Harry had switched Quidditch teams and now goes for the Cannons.
"Who he likes!!!," burst out Ron.
That had done it, I dropped my quill and starred at Ron.
"What?!?!"
"Who he likes"
"I never knew he was into the liking thing"
"You should never say that"
"Why?"
"All guys like girls, if you know what I mean" Ron elbowed me.
"Unfortunately yes, I know what you mean"
"Yes"
"who is it?"
"What?"
"Who does Harry like?"
"Ohhh Ginny"
"Ginny..as in your sister? Ginny Weasley?"
"Well yeah who else"
"OH MY GOD!!! She will be soo happy..i mean ummm yeah"
"But promise me. Promise me Hermione you can't tell her"
"But.."
"I'm not even ment to be telling you, but you're my bestfriend"
"Arhh.."
"Promise?"
"Ohh all right. I promise"
"Good. I'm off to bed. Night"
"Night"
And Ron ran upstairs to where Harry was hiding, watching me. And right at that moment Ginny happened to walk in. She offcourse was in on the joke. I just wanted to run over to her and tell, but I resisted.
"Hey Mione"
"Hi Ginny" I said struggling to keep a straight face.
"Where is everyone?"
"In bed.it is dear me.1 am!"
"Oh okay.sooo what did you do today?"
"Just the usual. Double Charms, Double D.A.T.D.A."
"Anything interesting?"
"Oh yeah, I got this amazing book on the.."
"Find anything out today? Like gossip?"
That was it! I couldn't hold it.
"GINNY I know who.."
And then I couldn't speak, I couldn't say likes you. What was happening?
"What Hermione?" teased Ginny, but offcourse didn't see that then.
"I can't speak!"
"Yes you can"
"Oh..i don't know what happened. I know who."
Then it happened again. I tried yelling likes you. No use. I said Harry, no sound. I just stood there yelling silent sounds to Ginny. I was going red, I knew it. And all that time Ginny played along. That's when I started to act out what I trying to say. But Ginny pretended not to understand.
"I don't understand what your trying to say Hermione"
I would have kept up that all night if I hadn't heard laughs from upstairs, followed by shhhhhh. I followed the sounds up the stairs to where the staircase spilt. There was Harry and Ron rolling on the ground silently laughing. Then I realised what was happening. I gave a laugh.
"You should have seen your face!"
"Yeh"
"Ohh yeah" I laughed back at them. They took that as a okay everythings alright. That's when I hexed them.
Sometime later after I had un-hexed Harry and Ron, they explained. They had found the spell in one of my books and decided to play a joke on me. They offcourse did not read how the spell works. They had told Ginny and she was going to play along. Ron cast the spell, rather badly may I add. If it was done right, I would have forgotten all about the secret as soon as I wanted to tell Ginny. Instead when I wanted to tell Ginny I would lose my voice. I spent all of the nest week getting Ron and Harry to preform the spell right
*****
"Hermione dear?" asked my Mum.
I snapped out of my thoughts.
"Anyway you can't even feel it, if your not expecting it. But if you are, all that happens is a purple mist comes out of my wand and into you. All you feel is icy cold, but that only stays for 2 seconds."
"Sounds safe, okay call them in"

Dear Diary,
That's it, we told them. That I am a Witch. It went well actually,
better than I thought is would. At first it was shock, but then was 'cool' as
Rose put it. Both Rose and Mia wanted me to preform them spells, but when
I told them I couldn't until next week, they made me promise to show them
then. They took it well, David was different. He just starred at me, as if I was
a freak. He didn't stay long, he just walked right of there. Before I could tell
him it was a secret. I didn't plan on putting the spell on him, but I had to.
Just as he walked out of the door. Mum and Dad didn't even notice that there
was something wrong. I know I will need to deal with this later. I have a
feeling it won't be easy either. As soon as I put the spell on Mia and Rose I
was out of there and up here.
Anyway I asked Mum about the letters I sent my group. She sent them
alright and she had not gotten any letters back. I don't know how to explain
it now. I have decided to go back to the old hideout, I wonder if they have
moved it? I will just show up and say 'hey it's me Hermione' and take it
from there. Wish me luck diary. I saw them earlier on, at the movies. There
was a couple of people that weren't in our group. Casey McDan, Cahla
Davidson and Michael Knight. Everyone was together, but every now and
again broke off into twos. When I was part of the group, we always did that.
Usually with our boyfriends. We never swapped boyfriends, we stayed
together. I thought everyone would be together forever. When I was there.
Sandy was with Mikki, James with Janet, Jeff with Donna, Brad with Clair
and Taj with me. But it was all different now. James was with Cahla
Davidson, Janet was with Michael Knight and my Taj was with Casey
McDan. How could he! Taj never liked Casey, he always called her names.
And now she was hanging off his arm!! And what happened to James and
Janet? All mysteries, which I plan to find out tomorrow. But until then diary.
I'm going to bed, goodnight.
