Foreward

"Hermione, we've spoken about this before," a man's deep voice soothingly spoke. "You knew I'd have to leave when you married me."

"Yes, but…" Hermione started, but was interrupted.

"Take care of Jenna and Mandy. Don't let them out of your site. We can't risk them with Him still lurking around killing and capturing. You know the escape plan, right?" He didn't wait for her answer, but swiftly continued, "I'll be back soon, and take good care of Hogwarts for me, my Deputy Headmistress. Goodbye." With a kiss, he disapparated.


Six years later

"Mommy? Where are you?" Jenna cried.

"I'm right here, Honey." Hermione walked into the kitchen with Mandy on her hip.

"I'm hungwy," Jenna wined, forgetting to pronounce the r. A few minutes later, while Hermione cooked breakfast, Jenna and Mandy fought over the remote.

"Cartoons are best," Mandy said as she snatched the remote.

"No, the Wizard's News Connection is better," Jenna fought for the remote and switched the channel.

"The Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is now discussing a matter over You-Know-Who with the Minister of Magic. He…" The announcer broke off as Mandy switched the channel, "Ahhh… Pow… You'll never win, Slade!" Robin yelled to Slade as Starfire attacked.

"Turn the channel back to the WNC!" Hermione ordered Mandy.

Without a thought, Mandy changed the channel, and the announcer continued, "The alert for You-Know-Who is still high. Mr. Potter has been half a step behind You-Know-Who, and has fought Him twice, both times ending with You-Know-Who disapparating. You-Know-Who has been moving swiftly leaving few traces for Mr. Potter to follow." With that, Hermione turned the television off with a flick of her wand, murmured something about 'Voldemort being the only thing on the news,' and called the twins to lunch.
