A/n: Thanks for the wonderful reviews. As for the person who thought it was
degrading to change Hermione around, I did it to make the story a bit more
interesting and you haven't let me get into them going to school yet (sorry
if anyone else thought me changing her hair and eye color was degrading).
Well please read and review. Lol sorry I made a mistake that was pointed
out to me. Three Broomsticks isn't in Diagon Alley (I knew that...honestly) I
just wasn't thinking and that's the only restraunt I could remember. And
yes, Smile Empty Soul is a band I love them!
Chapter 6
~*~
Hermione stepped out of the fireplace into her living room. Malfoy was evil. One second he was being nice to her and the next he was telling her he never wanted them to hang out again. No wonder she hated him so. Hermione went to her room and curled up in a chair with one of her new books. When she looked at it she thought of her old mother. Suddenly Hermione was overcome with sadness. She remembered sitting at home with her Mother reading books and then telling each other they just had to read this one. A single tear rolled down her cheek and she quickly wiped it away. 'Why am I crying she thought. These are supposed to be my real parents! What do I have to cry for?' she told herself. Hermione sniffled and looked down at her book. Suddenly she didn't feel like reading. Hermione briskly got up and went to her mirror. She pulled her hair into a loose bun and used water to hold some of the frizzy pieces in. She put on more comfortable clothes and entered the outside barefoot. She walked out to a small pond were she sat and watched fish swim around. She didn't want to think she just wanted to watch the beautiful scenery and wish she could stay here in the moment.
Hours later after lying in the tall grass she heard her mother calling for her. She got up slowly and brushed the grass off her back and headed indoors.
"So how was your afternoon with Draco?" Hermione mother asked.
'Just bloody disastrous' she wanted to say. "It was alright, but I'm not planning on doing it again soon." Hermione said trying not to sound like a brat.
"Well it makes me happy that you at least went this one time." Her mother said a little disappointed.
"Mum, next week on Saturday I have an appointment to go and get my Magic License and my Apparation Permit, so I was wondering if you wanted to come with me, and if you would teach me a bit of apparation so I'd have a little idea on how to do it." Hermione said hoping her mum would be willing.
"I'd love to Hermione, want to start tomorrow night?" Her mother asked.
"Yes I'd love to" Hermione said thrilled 'I'm sure I'll get my permit now' Hermione thought to herself happily.
"Okay meet me in the den tomorrow after I get back from running my errands." She said beaming at Hermione.
"Okay, you know I'm feeling really tired and I'm not hungry so I'm going to go upstairs to go to sleep, so I'll see you at breakfast?" Hermione asked her mum.
"You may, but I'm leaving around eight so, if you sleep in you may miss me." Hermione's mother said kissing the top of her head.
"Goodnight mum" Hermione said blowing her mum a kiss and trotting up the stairs. Hermione got to her room and dressed to get ready for bed.
The next morning Hermione woke up feeling refreshed. She rolled
over to look at
the clock: 8:15 it read. She had missed her mom by 15 minutes. 'Oh
well'
Hermione thought.
Hermione put on her black bathrobe and stepped into the bathroom. She
cleaned up a bit and went downstairs. In the kitchen she expected to see her father sitting there with the "Daily Prophet" in his hand but there was nobody in there. 'How strange' Hermione thought. Hermione picked up a bowl of grapes and began munching on them when she saw a note lying on the counter.
"What's this?" Hermione said picking it up.
Dear Hermione,
I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier but I am now off on a business
trip. I wont be back for a
month because I'm attending a very important conference with some very
important
wizards. I will miss you darling please behave. I'll see you before
you go to school
Hermione. Goodbye! I love you.
Xoxo Father
Hermione frowned. She didn't know where her father worked. What
kind of
business was her father involved in? Hermione picked up the bowl of
grapes and took
them upstairs. Hermione sat the bowl of grapes on the end piece and
opened up a book and became engrossed with it for hours until she heard the doorbell ring. She looked at the clock next to her and it read 12:33 Hermione wasn't surprised. Hermione swept down the stairs and stopped at the door. 'Who could that be' Hermione thought as she peeked through the peek hole. She groaned as she saw the platinum blonde hair of the person she didn't want to see right now. Hermione stomped and opened the door.
"Hello" Hermione said trying to put a façade of being happy up.
"Uh. Hello" He said looking away nervously.
"What brings you here?"
"This is for Mr. Valdoy," He said shoving a thick letter into
Hermione's hands.
"You mean my father" Hermione said staring coldly at him.
"Yes mudblood." He said staring at her. Hermione noticed this stare wasn't cold, but it was almost as if he was studying her. She wrapped her robe around her tighter.
"Will that be all?" Hermione asked.
"Yes" he said as he turned around and sauntered on down the path.
Hermione closed the door and rolled her eyes. She laid the letter on
the table next to the door, she knew her mother would find it there.
Hermione went upstairs and got lost in her book. She snapped back to
reality three hours later when she heard the front door open and
close. Hermione shut the book and looked at herself.
"Oh dear, I haven't gotten ready yet," Hermione said locking her bedroom door and changing quickly. She grabbed her wand and hurried down to the den. Her mother was already there waiting for her, and arranging some potions on a tray.
"Oh, hello Hermione, are you ready for your apparation lesson?" Her mother asked smiling as she pulled her wavy black hair into a ponytail.
"Yes, mum" Hermione said sitting down in a cozy chair and waited for her mother to finish up.
"Okay let me say, apparation isn't easy, but you may get
the hang of it with in an hour or two. Okay first, come over here. Lay
your wand down on the desk and relax." Hermione mother said as
Hermione obeyed. "Okay we are just going to apparate across the room
for starters. Okay look at that wall take it all in and in detail."
Hermione's mother said stepping back from Hermione. "Now close you
eyes and think of everything you just saw, picture yourself moving
there, and picture yourself standing there," Her mother said as
Hermione heard a loud pop. Hermione jumped and was disappointed to see
she was still in the same spot. "It takes time darling" Her mother
said smiling and praising Hermione for making anything happen.
Hermione and her mother repeated this routine for and hour straight,
Hermione thinking of the wall and hearing a pop and still finding her
in the same spot. Soon Hermione became frustrated she wanted to take a
nice hot bath and sit and let her head ache go away. Suddenly there
was a pop and Hermione felt her feet on cool marble. She opened her
eyes and she was standing in her bathroom inside her bathtub. Hermione
was amazed. Hermione closed her eyes and thought of the office she was
in, were her mother was and how she wanted to show her what she could
do. Hermione heard a second pop and the cold marble wasn't beneath her
feet she was standing by the desk in the study and her mother had a
big smile plastered on her face.
"Mum, I did it!" Hermione said laughing. "I can apparate!" Hermione said hugging her mother.
"I'm so proud of you baby" She said hugging Hermione tightly. "You can practice when I'm not home of whenever you have free time so you will be able to nail that test and get your permit." Hermione's mother said "I have to go and stop at the Malfoy's to pick up something, do you want to come?" Hermione's mother asked
"No thank you but, Malfoy did stop by earlier with a letter for daddy," Hermione said as she thought about the foyer where the letter was lying and apparated there and back with the letter for her mother.
"Thank you darling. I will be there for about an hour, and then I'll be back. We can then go and have dinner in a wizard town in London.
~*~
After Hermione's mother returned Hermione and her mother went to a very extravagant all wizard community. Hermione and her mother walked around looking at things and stopped to get a bite to eat at a very elegant restraunt in London.
"Wow" Hermione muttered, taking in all the beautiful things around her. Hermione and her mother were brought to a small table by a butler in a long penguin suit. He handed them menus and walked away. Another petite woman with bright green eyes and blonde hair walked up to them.
"May I take your order?" the girl asked.
"Yes, I would like two of the chefs specials please." Hermione's mother told the woman kindly. Hermione and her mother could tell the waitress was having a bad day.
"What would you like to drink?" The girl asked.
"Half a glass of fire whisky, what would you like Hermione?"
"I'd like a butterbeer please" Hermione said smiling at the girl.
"Anything else?" she asked
"No we're good" Hermione's mom said as the girl vanished from in front of their eyes. 'I wonder how many other Wizard cities there are that are out side of England.' Hermione wondered. 'In Diagon Alley they never in a million years would have something so fancy and elegant' Hermione thought to herself.
Ten minutes later the waitress returned with their food. The waitress had it floating gently behind her and landed it gently in front of them. Hermione thanked the waitress as her mother paid the girl. Hermione took a bite of the luscious chicken and helped rice. They tasted delicious and Hermione remembered why she loved the "Great Feast" at Hogwarts. About an hour later after they had finished up their delicious food they left the restraunt and headed home.
"Goodnight Hermione" Her mother told her as she went upstairs
"Goodnight mum." Hermione kissed her mum and hurried upstairs. Hermione entered her bedroom and saw her owl sitting on her desk with two parcels in his talons. Hermione opened them up and smiled. They were from Harry and Ron. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
a/n: this is it. Sorry I ended it like this, and sorry I haven't updated in a while but I have had a little writer's block. I couldn't figure out how to start the chapter and I didn't know how to end it, I didn't want to drag it on and on .I think this chapter was quite boring myself. I'm trying to get Harry and Ron in the picture and I want the summer to go by because I want them to go to school! Well I have to go. I promise the next few chapters will be a little more interesting.
