Chapter 5: Hermione's Past(A/N: This is Hermione's memory so it should be in italics but I dunno.)
Hermione had decided to go home for the Christmas holidays, as it would be her sixteenth birthday soon. She was standing at King Cross Station by herself waiting for her parents to pick her up. Hermione was quite impatient as it had been nearly forty-five minutes and her parents weren't there yet, it was weird, usually they were quite punctual.
So she decided to go the café and get herself a mocha. She walked past the busy people of the day on their phones, it was weird. She used to be one of these people, dedicating their lives to their jobs but ever since she became a witch it opened new doors for her.
She opened the door of the café and let herself in to the aroma of coffee and a wave of familiarity washed over her. Hermione missed this.
"What will it be Miss?" The person behind the counter asked. They all wore dusty red-coloured aprons with a small golden nametag attached to their shirts.
"Umm, I'll have a mocha with two sugars thanks." Hermione picked her coffee up and moved to an empty table in the corner. She sat there staring out the window; it was going to snow next week so it the winds were frightfully chilling.
From a distance she saw her parents car come around the corner so she picked up her things and exited the café.
Hermione's mother ran up to Hermione and hugged her. "Hermione darling, its good to have you back"
Her father took her things and out them into the trunk. "I hope you been getting good grades dear"
Hermione just smiled and got into the car.
Hermione couldn't wait, today was her birthday and her parents decided to have a quiet little dinner just with her. Hermione combed her hair back and twisted it in an elegant fashion to suit her outfit. Satisfied with her look Hermione decided to go downstairs.
"Where is she? She was supposed to arrive by now," Her father said.
Hermione was puzzled. Who were they talking about? surely it wasn't her was it?. "Who is supposed to arrive now father?" Hermione queried.
Hermione's mother was nervously wringing her hands and staring at Hermione anxiously. "Sit down honey, we need to talk"
As if on que the doorbell rang and her father went to get the door. She heard soft footsteps coming down the hallway towards the dining room. There stood a girl with soft brown curls, which cascaded her back, her face held delicate features and she had striking golden green eyes. She was stunning.
"Ahem" Her father cleared his throat and gestured for everyone to site down at the dining table.
The girl sat down opposite of Hermione and gently smiled at her. "I'm Karen, your half sister"
"What the fuck?!" Hermione spluttered.
Hermione's mother intervened before Hermione could let out another string of expletives.
"Perhaps I should explain, Hermione you are a pureblood witch, now I know you are shocked..."
"Well what the hell do you bloody think mother..."
Hermione 's mother wavered her hand to stop Hermione. "The night when you were conceived is a confusing one so do not interrupt me. Now then your biological parents were a lovely couple I had met at college and they were a good friends to me. Now one night at a friend's party, we became drunk and things got out of hand, and you were conceived"
"You are fucking kidding me? What hell does that got to do with you ending up as my parents?"
"Hermione! Anyway, after that night they disappeared, your father came back after a few months and you were with him, he told me about how your mother had died and about being apart of the wizarding world and that he couldn't keep you, your biological father was already engaged to another person, so he wanted to keep you but he couldn't..."
Karen then started talking. "My parents died a few years back, he was indeed a wizard so I am a witch, a pureblood to be more exact, and so you are a witch, my family was very strict about my mother and father's match but they didn't love each other, they just simply lived in harmony"
"That didn't explain why the fuck you're here," Hermione shouted.
"You're sixteen, its time you've met your real family..."
Hermione groaned in frustration. "I know this sounds like I'm in fucking denial but why the hell did you guys tell me for, I was actually quite fucking content with living with the fake knowledge of me being a fucking mudblood but now you just fucking screwed up my life...thank you really..." Hermione said sarcastically.
"Now Hermione, there's no need for profanities........." Hermione's father said.
"And, Karen is here because since we were not verified by the government as your parents Karen will be your legal guardian from now on so we need you know get to know each other, that's why you to are now going to go out and have fun and more importantly bond...."
Hermione just blinked and stared.
Karen sensing Hermione's disorientation cleared her throat.
"Ahem, I think Hermione and I better get going now....."
Karen grabbed Hermione arm and pulled her out of the house.
"Are you feeling okay Hermione?..." Karen asked.
"In a nutshell...no."
Hermione's blank expression creeped the heck out of Karen so she slowly ushered Hermione to her car. Hermione's head gradually lifted to Karen's car, then Hermione started screaming out of the blue.
"Holy Fuck!.. You must be loaded to have a MR2"
Karen looked at Hermione, boy was she weird, a few minutes ago she was screaming because she found out she was adopted then she was mute now she started screaming again, but hey she knew her cars.
Karen gave a light-hearted laugh. "Yeah, My grandparents left me and you a couple million each when they passed away, there are no close relatives to us anymore so we got all the money"
Hermione looked at Karen as they climbed into the MR2 and reversed out of the driveway. "But why would they give me money, I'm the illegitimate child of the other woman."
Karen honked her horn at some random crappy driver. "That didn't mean that they didn't know about you, they knew that father was really in love with you mother, in fact they were almost going to let father take you into the family if it weren't for my mother"
Hermione and Karen got out of the MR2 and started walking to a snazzy Italian restaurant. Hermione gave Karen a 'come on don't just stop talking now look' as they sat down. Karen sighed and leisurely pulled a photo from her purse.
"Mother and Father didn't love each other, after a while they spent less and less time at home so I always stuck around our grandparents, I didn't really have much of a relationship with any of my parents, it was just whenever I needed money"
Hermione looked at the photo Karen, it had Karen's family there Karen was happily standing next to her grandparents, her parents were standing on opposite sides of the photo obviously not very interested the family activity.
Hermione studied Karen's face; it was hesitant as if she was going to blurt something out.
"Hermione, since I will be your legal guardian from now on, you're going to have to move in with me, I know you probably think that living with me is going to be a dag but I swear it going to be a non-stop party going on, I have friends constantly coming over and people are always calling me because of my job, wait I didn't tell you what I do did I...."
Hermione sighed inwardly; this was going to be a long night.
A/N: Hey..umm you know how it goes.. you review and I write more, I also wanted to say that this story is really going to be twisted so its going to be quite different from the movie and cheers to my beta read boni.
