Chapter 12

Maggie was crying, so Hermione walked up the stairs half way and picked her up.

"Herm, I'm scared!" Maggie whispered in her ear.

"Why?" Hermione asked her sitting down on the steps, letting Maggie sit on her lap.

"I know your different and so is everyone else!" Maggie told her.

"Dose that scares you?" Hermione asked her. She shook her head.

"I think I'm different too!" Maggie told her. "That's what scares me!"

"Why do you think you are different?" Hermione asked her.

"I will show you!" Maggie got off her lap taking her hand and pulling her up the stairs. Maggie stopped when she seen Harry and Sam a sleep, It would have made a cute picture. Maggie Rolled her eyes then continued to drag Hermione to her room. When they arrived, Maggie let go of her hand and opened her closet door. They never use that closet be cause Maggie was afraid of it. It had stuff in it toys mostly.

"I've burned things, I get really hot and then fire appears!" Maggie told her.

"How often dose this happen?" Hermione asked her. She read something about this before. A young man was the only know person who could do it.

"When I'm scared or mad, I can't control it so I run to my room and use my closet!" Maggie told her.

"How do you put it out?" Hermione was curious.

"It just goes out!" Maggie was shaking a little bit so Hermione picked her up.

"Maggie, being different isn't so bad!" Hermione told her. "The magic world is wonderful, well most of it!"

"What can you do?" Maggie asked her.

"Nothing like you, but I Go to Hogwarts!" Hermione told her. "I'll tell you what, I will write Dumbledore and ask him about your fire problem and let you know what he says."

"Okay!" Maggie said.

Jimmy was scared! He had a bad dream and really need to find his mum and Dad. He had No clue where they were. Therefore, he wandered the halls, until he came to a room in the back of his house. He heard voices. It was Billy and his friend Mike. Mike scared Jimmy. He was big, and mean. Billy met him at school.

"You have to tell him where they are!" Mike told Billy. Jimmy just watched. He never saw his brother so sad before.

"Hermione is like a sister to me, I can't do it!" Billy told him.

"Billy, it is you or her!" Mike told Him. "If Lord Voldermort finds out you know where they are and you didn't tell him you will be dead!" Jimmy had no clue what was going on. Only that it could not be good.

"I know that my baby sister would never have let me do it!" Billy told him.

"Well she isn't here any more!" Mike was trying to make him see.

"I still wouldn't be right, Hermione was her best friend!" Billy informed Mike.

"I understand, I also know you have the hots for Hermione but you have to do this!" Mike told him.

"My feelings for her have nothing to do with this!" Billy told him self more then Mike.

"Lets just tell him and not look back, She isn't worth it!" Mike tried to make him see. Billy did not say anything he just sat there. The phone rang, causing Jimmy to jump! Billy picked up the phone.

"Hello!" He said into the receiver. "A party for Maggie?" Billy picked up a pen, and a piece of parchment.

"Okay!" Billy told her to let her know he was ready. "This weekend Friday to Sunday, at the Pine lake camp grounds." He wrote as he spoke it.

"Will Hermione Granger be there?" Billy asked. A grin crossed his face. "Thank you, I'll talk to my mother, bye" He hung up the phone.

"She will most likely be there!" Billy said.

"So, What are you going to do?" Mike asked.

"What I have to do!" Billy said. He turned to a picture of his sister. "Sorry Amanda" Before turning it around making her face the mirror and walking out the door knocking Billy over on the way out. He did not look happy.

Annie hung up the phone crossing Jimmy off the 'list of people she had to invite'. She sat down in her chair, thinking about everything she heard and seen today. She was so confused and a little mad. Charlie was great and so was His family. Hermione was like a sister to her, Sam and Jay were also great kids. She was not sure if this was really happening or if she is dreaming. There was a knock on the door pulling her out of her thoughts.

"Come in!" Annie said. Hermione walked in slowly, as if she was afraid. She shut the door behind her.

"I'm sorry!" They both said at the same time.

"Why are you sorry?" Hermione asked confused.

"For giving you a reason not to trust me!" Annie told her.

"You never gave me a reason not to trust me, I was just afraid!" Hermione told her. "I was afraid of so many things!"

"Why would you be afraid?" Annie asked her.

"That you would not want me around any more, or that this was not going to last" Hermione told her. "I was going through a lot and I needed to get away!"

"I would never do that to you, Hermione you are like a sister to me!" Annie told her.

"I know and you are like a sister too me!" Hermione told her a tear falling down her cheek. "You were all I had left after Amanda died, I couldn't risk it!" Annie hugged her.

"No more secrets!" Annie told her. Hermione nodded, She pulled away a little.

"What if I told you Maggie might be a witch too?" Hermione asked her. "How do you know?" Annie asked her.

"Did you ever notice any weird things happen when she gets mad or upset?" Hermione asked her.

"Sometimes things happen but nothing that could be tied to Maggie." Annie told her in deep thought. "Just like it couldn't when you were little" Annie realized at that moment that maybe Maggie was a witch. Not that she cared. It just scared her a little. The telephone pulled her out of her thoughts, Annie picked up the receiver, placing it to her ear.

"Hello?" Annie said into the phone.

"Is My daughter Hermione there?" Hermione's father was on the phone and he did not sound happy.

"Yes, Mr. Granger She is right her." Annie told him. She handed Hermione the phone. She looked down at her watch. It was now 11 o'clock and She was told to be home a half hour ago.

"Daddy?" Hermione said trying to sound innocent, but she knew it would not work that was played out by her.

"You were told to be here an hour ago!" He told her, she could here the anger in his voice.

"I know but stuff happened!" Hermione told her father.

"Like What?" He asked. Hermione never told her parents about Voldermort because she knew they would be over protective.

"Witch stuff, Plus Ron's Parents is here!" Hermione told him.

"I don't care get home, NOW!" he practically yelled.

"Fine, Bye!" Hermione said with some attitude. She hung up the phone. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Please Review! Sorry for the wait I have been sick! Sam
