That was then, this is now.

Hermione just sat on her bed a thought about that night. How it happened

and why it happed. But that was then, and this is now. Now is her living in a

teacher's room in Hogwarts. Now is living with out Harry, who she missed for 5

years of her life, but not just in raising a child, but in loving her. Now was her 4

year old daughter, Devon Emma Granger who knew nothing of the father she pined

for.

Hermione thought about what happed after that night. It was a week after

graduation and the trio was on their way. Some more then others, espailly Harry

because it came down to his final battle. After all that Voldermort put him through

you would think it would be over but it wasn't. So Harry said his good byes to

everyone not knowing if he or Voldermort would win. Then he went to see

Hermione, she wanted to go with him so badly and help but Harry knew this fight

was between him and Voldermort.



Hermione could still remember the last thing he had ever said to her.

"Hermione, one day I will come back and we will fall in love with no worries at all."

Every time she was upset and wanted to give up on her life she just thought of

what he said and thought of little Devon and how much she was like her father.

But Hermione knew she didn't have it that bad. She has Devon Emma, who

was all the Harry she needed. Devon had raven black wavy, not bushy, hair with

stunning green eyes. It was the perfect cross between Harry and Hermione.

Although she was four Devon all ready could read first and second year books she

stole from her mom's class rooms. But Devon also like to create mishchieve. But

mischief to her was just hiding and scaring her mommy.

Everyone she knew also agreed that she was a cross. Ron thought it was

quite scary and joked that Devon was Harry's aniguamus form. Ginny agreed but

knew it couldn't be Harry. Because Harry had no idea about Devon.

Three weeks after Harry left, Hermione started to feel sick and could not stop

throwing up. And this started to trouble her. She confided with Lavender, who was

Ron's girlfriend at the time. Lavender told her to take a pregnancy test after

Hermione told her about the night. Right when the test was done it showed that

Hermione was pregnet.

Not knowing what she was going to do Hermione took the job as Charms

teacher to make sure she had food, shelter, and money. And she would be away

from Harry.

But most people thought it would be hard for Hermione to hide out in

Hogwarts, but not with Ron working there. Ron had taken Madam Hooch's job and

took the job of hiding Hermione from Harry. She wanted this because she was

scared that Harry had found someone new or won't love her because she now had a

child.

So for the next years whenever Harry would come for a visit Ron would warm

Hermione and she would either stay at the local hotel in Hogsmeade or she would

take sick and stay in her room with Devon until Harry left.

But Harry had no idea Hermione was even there. When he got back from defeating

Voldermort Harry immdeltally looked for his Hermione but couldn't find her any

where. When he ask Ron where she was he said she was on a top secret mission

where she couldn't talk to any one, and she would be gone for a long time.

And Harry believed this for many years.

And Hermione just wished she could tell him the truth.
