Chapter 2
"Mione honey, wake up." Dad called up the stairs.
My nose sniffed something & I noticed it instantly waffles, maple syrup & ice-cream.
. . . Remembering. . .
It's been a week since mum left, a week I had to grieve by myself. Dad had to go to work, I needed something to do. Even though I lost my mum I will not lose my dad or myself. With that I promised myself I wouldn't cut myself though the pain my 'mother' brings is unbearable . . . very unbearable.
During the day I wake up after 9. Make myself breakfast then head down to the library. Before my mothers disappearance I would head down to the history section, wanting to cram everything the books had in my mind. But now days I head to the music section in the library. Why I ask myself do I head to the music section, it is due to the enticing notes of the piano. I never liked playing music, but now I need something.
I borrow a new book each day learning the styles of playing & harmonizing the tunes of the piano & my voice perfectly. This I did with all books besides one, Mariah Carey, We Belong Together. The Liberian noticed me borrowing this book countess number of times since the past week, that she has let me keep it.
. . . Forgetting. . .
"Mione, darl are you still asleep?" asked Dad
"No, dad I going, I'm going,"
"Good, get changed & come down & eat your breakfast."
"Alright Dad"
After 15 minutes Hermione came out of the bathroom, wearing a pair of black flares & a black off-shoulder top with sliver glistening off it, she put on a black pair of flip –flops' knowing for some reason today was going to be a special day.
"Good to see you down hear Mione," Remarked her dad.
"G'morning dad."
Hermione opened her eyes in awed amazement; across the table was the utmost luscious breakfast ever. 3 kinds of waffles (chocolate, banana & plain), hot chocolate with marshmallows, iced coffee, fruit & ice- cream was present.
"Wow"
Accompanied the wow was to massive stomach rumbles. Both Hermione & George laughed heartily.
"Sit down, Mione, its breakfast time."
With that Mione pulled up a seat & sat down across her dad. Through out breakfast the two talked happily with an occasional burst of laughter.
"Mione, why don't you go in the lounge room, while I wash the dishes?"
"Alright dad."
Hermione walked into the lounge room, there sat a piano she conjured up with a magic, of course she was wondering why the ministry wasn't here saying she might get expelled, well she figured they might have been caught up with the activity of Voldermort to notice silly little conjuring spells.
Hermione sat down at the seat in front of the piano & started to play the beginning tune of We Belong Together. Entranced in the music, Hermione began singing to it as she has played this since birth, when in reality she just began.
"Bravo Hermione, Bravo." Hermione blushed from embarrassment. "Aww, shucks dad." They laughed heartily. –Today seems to be full of happiness & laughter. I really love today. I can't believe that I actually sang & played with out the book .Its the first time I have ever done that. If I tell anyone about it I bet they will laugh & say well look here Granger can't learn music in a day, guess she ain't that good. ARGH! Bad thoughts can't think that especially today. - "Mione, what do you want to do today?" "I want to. . ."-just hang out; go to the beach, cook, and have fun- "go to the beach." "Well the Grangers are going to the beach." Hermione laughed. "Go get dressed kiddo." Her dad said while ruffling her hair.
Hermione walked into her room, and opened her wardrobe. She took a peek in a shock her head in disgust. Every where she peered was clothes dating back to last year, some even to the 70s.
"Dad" Hermione called from up the stairs.
"Yes, Mione?" Her dad questioned.
"Can we cancel the beach trip to some other time?"
"Ah, sure. What's up?"
"All I have is Mums clothes." Hermione said flashing a fluro orange top, which in itself is blinding.
"Well Pam never had much fashion sense so I guess. The Grangers are going shopping."
"Are you serious dad lets go come on we have just wasted-" Hermione looked at her Louis Vuitton watch. "- 3 hours, we just wasted 3 hours worth of shopping, come on dad, move."
After 6 hours, 55 stores, 30 bags & $250 worth of shopping later.
"God Mione how can you shop so long."
"Long, dad that was ONLY 6 hours"
"Only?"
"Dad, will you let me marry the shops."
"I don't think so; now go get your clothes in your room. It may be a little too late to go to the beach, so why I don't I make you your favorite food?"
"Really dad and then we can watch a movie."
"Yes."
After a delicious dinner which of course was made by Mister Granger himself, they sat down to watch 'Honey'.
"Hermione darl, do you remember when your mum left?" – Smooth move George of course she isn't going to forget that –
"Umm, yea I do dad, you can't forget what Pam, did in one week." – Wow it feels so easy to say Pam & not mum; I guess we weren't that close just pretending to be, although I wish that she was still here. –
"Well do you remember what I said, well the bit about –" George was having some difficulty saying it but it seemed that Hermione beat him to say it.
"Hogwarts, yea I do dad, what did you actually mean?"
"You're a pureblood Hermione. Get comfortable for I am going to tell you a story I should have told you when you got accepted in Hogwarts." George took a long drag on a Cuban Cigar.
"I was back in 7th year when everything started. Voldermort power was growing immensely. Dumbledore & the Order of Phoenix were working very hard, but they could do nothing without any spies. I was in Gryffindor & your mother in Slytherin. I didn't know where her loyalties lay but I loved her. When we got married, Voldermort came to us requesting us to go to the dark side. I said no straight away, but your mother was a bit hesitant to say no. I wrote that off by being nervous. I thought that was the last time I would see Voldermort ask for us; but he kept coming ordering us threatening us. I would keep saying no but your mum was a different story. I went to Dumbledore, & it was there that I learnt how to defend myself properly. In the office was Levi Zabini, his fiancée Celeste Parica, Narcissa Black, James Potter, Lily Potter, Sirius Black, Severus Snape, Minerva McGonagall & Remus Lupin. I guess you can see that Pam, Lucius, wormtail weren't in there; that was because they were already supporting Voldermort. Dumbledore told us that he needed a spy; I couldn't be one because you were on the way. He chose Levi, Celeste, Narcissa & Severus. They were all hesitant but they decided to be a spy. They are still spies & Levi son, Blaise I think his name is; doesn't want to be a death eater, nor does Narcissa son, although I don't think he has a choice. All the Gryffindors had to go into hiding. When I told Pam that she was pregnant with a girl, she left Voldermort & swore that she will go back there when the time is right."
George looked around, and then jumped up suddenly.
"Shit! Mione grab your bags & let's go."
Hermione grabbed everything in her house while her dad was making everything smaller & lighter. When they were ready, George apparated to the Grangers Manor.
"Dad, I have one question. What is my name?"
"Why dear your name is Hermione Daniela Annalise Zabini – Granger ."
