"This is the old address,"Snape said, as they were looking through files, "Where do I get the new one from?"
"Grandpa!" Mya complained, "You can't even do that much for me?"
"I can do it for you but…" but then Anna interrupted him.
"Really? The most notorious teacher at that time can't even do that much for his beloved granddaughter?"
"But…one minute," he said, as something struck him, "She would definitely know where Hermione Granger is." All three of them went to the girls' dormitory.
"I'm sorry, Sir," Susan said, as they asked her. "I had promised Hermione that I would not give her address to anyone."
"We're hopeful that you would be able to," Snape said.
"I understand, Sir, but I made a promise to Hermione…"
"Susan," Mya said, "I'm also Hermione. You won't tell me either?"
Susan looked at Mya with great sympathy. She finally broke down. "Sir, she's getting engaged today and her wedding will be within this week. Her mother is going to set the date. The preparations for the wedding are underway. You all have come very late. I'm going tomorrow to her house by train."
"No," Mya whispered. "No, this wedding can't happen. Mommy said so."
"Sir," Susan said, "If you'd have come a little earlier then maybe…"
"Yes, but we didn't know…"
He was cut off at the sight of Mya. She was talking to herself, or as though it seemed.
"Mommy," she pleaded with her eyes shut, "Mommy, please don't let her get married. Tell God to not let them."
At Hermione's house, her mother was trying to look for a date for the wedding. She had to have it sometime this week or it would be months before Jason got back from his business trip.
Hermione approached her mother. "Mom," she said, "Do you think it would be all right ifthe wedding happens after Jason comes home?"
"Why?" she asked.
Hermione didn't want to say the real truth. "Well," she said, trying to think of something fast, "It wouldn't be in such a rush then. I mean, I imagined my wedding well-planned, you know? I'd rather have two months to plan rather than two days."
"I see what you're saying, but it's not completely my decision. I think you should talk to Jason about this."
"Oh, don't worry," she told her mother, "He can't say no to me."
About half an hour later, back at the Girls' dormitory at Hogwarts, the phone rang.
Susan walked reluctantly to it. "Hello?" she asked. All of a sudden a look of pure relief came over her face. "Okay, that's fine. Goodbye," she said as she hung up the phone. "It's been postponed," she told them, "Her fiancé has to go on a business trip and he won't be back for two months."
Mya smiled the biggest one she could manage. She looked up at the ceiling. "Thank you, Mommy and God," she whispered.
