Chapter 5

7th Year Advanced NEWT HOM Class 9am

"Professor Granger?" a tall black haired Slytherin raised his hand

"Yes....Mr Stone, how can i help" she looked over his shoulder at his work

"I don't really understand this question" he said pointing to a question the Hermione had set on a ancient magical family, the Maggerson's.

"Would you like me to explain it to you after class" he nodded "Very well, just wait behind at the end, please continue with the other questions"

"Thank you professor" Hermione smiled and walked back to her desk. 15 minutes later class was over and it was first years for her.

Jack Stone walked to the front of her desk and put his paper down, Hermione wrote a few bullet points about a introduction to the question and he told her that he understood and left.

"Good morning class, for those of you who don't know me i am Professor Granger" she told her 1st years

"Now, as a introduction to HOM we will be first looking at how the wand was created. Ok, thousands of years ago, a young woman was walking through the woods near her home in southern England, she was about 18 years old. She saw a bird on a tree branch when she looked closer it was a bird that she had only hear about in mythical stories, but she must have scared the bird because it flew away leaving only a single brown feather. Now this woman took the feather and placed it in a small basket that she had been using to store wood that she had been collecting, as soon as the mythical father touched the wood of a stick, the stick glowed gold, when the woman picked up the wood, she was touched by magic" Hermione looked around her class, looking back at there was 10 gryffindors and 10 slytherins, one of which was her daughter who had the biggest smile Hermione had ever seen. Hermione finished her story and dismissed her class.

Hermione decided to take a walk around the grounds, she had no more classes for that day. She walked down the steps and past Hagrids hut, to the lake's edge. She had been there so many times before when she was at school, it was a secluded patch and could only be found if it wanted to be or you was looking for it. She sat down and took off her shoes and dipped her feet in the cold water, she didn't mind that it was freezing, she missed the coldness of that water.

Hermione closed her eyes and let her mind wander, as she often did, she thought about telling Ginny who was Rae's father but decided against it, it would be too tricky, Draco and her friends seemed closer to each other than she did to them right now.

Hermione was enjoying the peace when she heard something behind her, when she looked nothing was there 'probably just a animal' she thought, she was quite near the edge of the forest. The strong September wind picked up and blew her curly hair back.

"Time to go in" Hermione said to herself. She got up and dried her feet with a simple spell and put her shoes back on.

"May i walk you back to the castle" she heard a voice and looked to see Draco stood behind her.

"No thank you" she walked away from him, but he kept following her

"Granger, why wont you talk to me?" Draco asked

"Oh, i don't know maybe because after all that happened to us, you left me right before the war and after, you never spoke to me" Hermione said with poison in her voice that Draco immediately picked up on.

"Hermione i.."

"Don't call me that, its Professor Granger or Granger, not Hermione only people who know me can call me that" she was now looking at him.

"Do you want to know why i left you Hermione"

"You already told me why Malfoy" and with that said she ran back to the castle leaving Draco regretting ever talking to her.

Professor Potter and Weasley

Have decided with special permission from Headmaster Dumbledore

to have Quidditch tryouts for a junior team

for all 1st and 2nd Years.

Please contact either professors with questions or sign your name below to tryout

All over the school there was parchments saying the above. Rae had noticed and signed her name down, she had seen a little bit of quidditch in a few book her mum had on the sport but had never ridden a broom.

She decided to go and see Professor Weasley.

"Professor?" she asked

"Miss Granger, can i help you?" Ron asked her

"I was wondering, i want to tryout for slytherin team, but don't know how to ride a broom"

"Well neither do most do that i why i am here, classes start on Sunday"

"Tomorrow"

"Yes, problem?"

"No, its fine, totally fine, thank you"

After a month of training, Rae was a natural and would give Harry a run for his money. Hermione was pleased that her daughter was taking part in quidditch and getting to know her friends better.

It was Saturday 16th October, it was the first quidditch match for slytherin and gryffindor, Harry had been coaching gryffindor and hufflepuff while Ron coached Slytherin and Ravenclaw.

Rae had made the team and Hermione along with just about everybody in the school who wasnt on the teams didn't know who had been picked and for what.

Hermione sat at the teachers stand with all the other professors bar Potter and Weasley. Hemione was at next to Luna who on her right had Draco sat next to her.

Hermione saw the slytherin doors open and out flew her daughter, she took the highest position on the field 'seeker' Hermione taught 'takes after her dad even more, than i realized' she added to her self. Draco was looking at Hermione's shocked expression, and noticed that Rae had been made slytherin seeker. 'interesting' was his thoughts

The game begun and with in 5 minutes Gryffindor was up by 50 points, Rae sat upon her old school broom high above the field, when she saw a golden ball with wings and immediately took off the get it. Hermione stood up as she saw her daughter drop about 60 feet in the air, Luna was holding her hand and looking around, mind not on the game at all but on her husband, Ron who was looking at her too.

Before the crowed had the chance to bat a eye lid, Rae had caught the stitch, "Slytherin win 150 to 50" the announcer announced.

The slytherin side went wild and ran down to Rae who was sat on the grass looking very nervous and scared, she had just won but it was a very daunting experience.
