Chapter 3: Introductions
Hermione walked slowly behind Dumbledore. She really didn't want to do this. They finally made it to the table and now Hermione could see why everyone that walked by had slowed. She was beautiful. Her skin was like that of a porcelain doll. Hermione had been correct she was young.
"Good evening," Dumbledore spoke as he sat down. "Hermione nay I introduce you to your new caretaker, Scarlet." With that she merely tipped her hat.
"Hello Scarlet," Hermione was trying to be nice, but she kept wondering whether or not she had a last name.
"You'll learn child that last names are not important," by the look on Hermione's face Scarlet knew she had messed up by saying that. "Well have a seat child, unless of course you want to stand all night."
Hermione slowly sat down in the chair beside Dumbledore. She had also been correct about the hat, it was dipped low, and almost covered her eyes. Hermione continued to stare at her eyes. They were an electric blue with a hint of silver. She hadn't seen eyes quit like hers, well other than Draco Malfoy, and that was his one of his best qualities.
'So the kid kind of has a thing for a Malfoy, or she at least thinks he's cute. This could be very interesting,' Scarlet thought. Oh, she hated being able to read people's thoughts. She always found out things that she did not want to know.
Scarlet killed another shot of whiskey. 'I should really stop drinking,' she thought 'but it's the only thing that drowns the pain. I really need to quit bottling up everything. It's not fair to myself, but when have I ever really been fair to myself.'
Dumbledore's voice brought her back to reality. "Scarlet, I have already sent Hermione's things to your manor. She'll be getting her letters from Hogwarts, and well you know what to do. This is her last year so help her to make it special. I'll be checking in with you two." He got up from the table and walked to the door. Scarlet heard a loud crack from outside and knew that he was gone.
I hope you like it so far. If you have any suggestions please tell me.
Note: Scarlet is my character that my wonderful little brain thought up, but rest belong to Harry Potter.
