Chapter Five: Two New For Hogwarts

Hermione and a ten year old Sophia were walking into Flourish and Blotts together when she heard the voice. The man's voice.

"Her- Hermione?" he sounded astonished. She wasn't surprised.

It was Fred. He was by himself, staring at Hermione. He hadn't even noticed Sophia until- "Hello! Are you my Uncle Fred or my Uncle George?"

Fred looked down at Sophia and did a double take. Hermione thought he was going to faint.

"Uh- uncle? I'm sorry, I don't have any niec- Hermione!" Fred had just put two and two together. Looking at the beautiful little girl with long wavy red hair, loads of freckles, and chocolate brown eyes, he had just seen Hermione and Ron looking back up at him.

Hermione sighed. This was going to be a long morning.

"For the thousandth time, Fred, yes, she is your niece and 'Naughty little Ronnies' daughter, although I'm not sure I like that name, because he didn't make Sophia by himself, you know."

Fred laughed at her, and looked over at Sophia. She was sitting at a table in Flourish and Blotts, completely emerged in a book about the Chudley Cannons.

They had been talking for at least an hour now and Fred knew the whole story.

He felt bad for Hermione, couldn't help laughing at the expression he thought would come over Ron's face when he saw Sophia, and, most of all, his heart went out to that poor little girl, because she really had no idea what she was getting into on her first day of Hogwarts.

"Okay, Hermione. I'm really glad you're back. We really missed you. I've got to go home to Gred and Forge. They are getting to be just like their father," he said with a twinkle in his eye. "I can't wait till they meet Sophia. If she likes me nearly as much as she said, then she'll love them!"

"Bye, Fred. I'll see you on September first!"

"Bye Uncle Fred!"

Fred looked back at Sophia, winked, waved at Hermione and walked away.

"Mom, if my uncles are all that nice, then why won't you let me meet them?" asked Sophia, sounding very sorry for herself.

Hermione groaned. Not this conversation again!

"Because, you're going to be meeting them all on September first, which is the first day of school, anyways. Ginny invited us to dinner at the Burrow that evening after the feast."

"After I get sorted into Griffindor?" asked her daughter, smiling up at her.

"You sound very sure of yourself, but yes. And I'm not coming to the feast. I'm going to the Burrow to help Molly get ready for dinner."

"Okay. Can we go get ice cream now?" asked Sophia, smiling.

Hermione sighed. Parenting was a very patience wearing business. "No, because it is dinner time. And we still haven't got your school things yet. The first day is next week!"

Sophia looked disappointed. "Well, at least we can get my wand now, right?" she asked, excitedly.

"Sure."

September 1st

Hermione took a deep breath, looking at herself in the mirror. It was time to take Sophia to King's Cross, and Hermione was very, very nervous. Although she wasn't riding the Hogwarts Express, she would still have to go to the station to take Sophia.

She knew Ron wouldn't be there, nor would Harry or Ginny. They were already at the school. Molly would be bringing all of her Grandchildren to King's Cross. The only ones going this year were Siri, James, and Sophia. And Molly had yet to learn about Sophia.

"Mom! Are you ready to go yet?" yelled Sophia impatiently.

Hermione wiped a little bit of sweat off of her forehead and headed to the kitchen. "Okay, let's go."

Five minutes later, they were at the station. Hermione got a trolley and put Sophia's trunk and the cage containing her pet owl, a beautiful mini barn owl ( a new mixed breed) named Apollo.

"Okay. I'll see you at the Burrow tonight. Just go with Aunt Ginny, she'll bring you there safely. I love you, Soph. Have fun, and good luck!" said Hermione, without shedding one tear, amazingly enough.

"I love you too, Mom, but the train doesn't leave for another ten minutes. Why are you saying good bye now?"

"Because I see your Grandma, and I want to talk to her. You are going to get on the train with your cousins as soon as you meet her. There will be time to talk tonight."

Hermione pointed a shaking finger towards a short, plump redheaded woman standing on the platform, kissing two boys with untidy red hair and very green eyes, so much like Harry's it was frightening.

"Molly." It took so much strength to say that one word.

Molly Weasley turned around and let out a shriek.

"Hermione!" She ran over as fast as she could, and squeezed Hermione in a humongous bear hug.

"I'll explain it all, because I know you'll have many questions, but first-" Hermione broke off, gesturing to Sophia.

"Molly, I would like you to meet your one and only granddaughter, Sophia LaLaine Molly Weasley Granger. This is her first year at Hogwarts."

Molly Weasley was astounded, and anyone looking at her could tell easily. "My- my granddaughter?" she whispered, and then burst into tears, hugging Sophia so hard she practically suffocated her.

"Sophia, this is your grandmother Molly. Now, tell her you'll see her tonight, because you mustn't miss the train."

She turned to Siri and James. "Hello. You must be Harry and Ginny's twins. I'm Hermione, and this is your cousin Sophia. Would you two please show Sophia around Hogwarts? I know you've been there before…" she grinned at them, and they smiled back at her.

"Of course we will!" shouted Siri, the excited one with the longer hair.

"Yeah, come on, it'll be fun!" said James, grabbing Sophia from Molly and yelling behind him, "Bye, Grandma! Love you!"

Molly looked at Hermione.

"We need to talk."

On the Hogwarts Express

"So, you two are my cousins?" said Sophia, making conversation.

"Yep. How come we've never met before? We know all of our other cousins," said James.

"Probably because my dad doesn't know I exsist. He will soon, though!" said Sophia excitedly.

"Who's your dad?" asked Siri.

"Your uncle Ron," replied Sophia.

The twin's eyes got big, and they said together, "Wow! I thought he'd never settle down and get some damn kids!"

Sophia gasped and stared at them

James shrugged, "That's just what Mom and Dad say when they talk about why Ron isn't married."

The three of them talked happily the rest of the train ride. They really hit it off great. Later on, Gred and Forge stopped in to meet Sophia.

"Hello, beautiful. Can't believe we never heard of a cousin as pretty as you," said Gred slyly.

"Especially since all our cousin's are boys!" said Forge loudly.

Forge and Gred were in their third year. Sophia found them hysterical. She knew she was going to have fun with them this year.

After that, Percy, who was in his fifth year, and was, of course a prefect strolled in to their compartment.

"Hello. And who might you be?" he asked properly.

"Um… I'm Sophia. Sophia Weasley." It was the first time she had used her fahter's last name without her mother's.

"Weasley, is it? How is it that I do not know you, then?"

"My Mom and I lived in the United States for a long time. My dad is Ron Weasley, and he doesn't know about me."

That was all the explaining Percy needed.

"Well, I am very pleased to meet you, but I must get back to patrolling the corridors."

"Good bye," said Sophia, shyly.

When the train got to the school, Sophia jumped out eagerly, right beside James and Siri.

"Firs' years, this way! Firs' years, over here, please!"

Sophia looked up and was amazed when she saw Hagrid. Her mother had told her about him, of course, but- he was huge!

Hagrid took them across the lake in the boats, and Professor McGonagall met them at the door.

When the first years entered the hallway in two lines, Sophia started wringing her hands. James noticed that her face was a delicate shade of green.

Sophia looked up at the Great Table. The first person she saw was Aunt Ginny. Ginny winked at her. Sophia felt a little better.

Next to her, Sophia saw a tall man with untidy black hair and pretty green eyes. This had to be her Uncle Harry.

And next to Uncle Harry was—her father.

He was tall, his nose rather long, and he had many freckles. His hair was every bit as red as Sophia's.

They made eye contact for a brief second. Ron nearly dropped his tankard when he saw her.

So Professor McGonagall was calling out names for the sorting hat.

When she got to Sophia's name, every person in the school turned to look at her, as they all thought her mother was dead, and had no idea she exsisted.

"Granger, Sophia!" shouted Professor McGonagall.

Ron really did drop his tankard this time. He also felt his heart being ripped out of his chest.

So. Hermione had fled him and found love with someone else. Someone who had given her a child. He felt terrible. Hermione's daughter was every bit as beautiful as her.

After the sorting was finished and Siri, James, and Sophia were all put into Griffindor, Sophia ran up to the Great Table at full speed. Ron wasn't there, he was at the other end of the table, asked McGonagall a question.

"Hello, Aunt Ginny. Uncle Harry," said Sophia casually.

Harry looked dumbstruck. Did this mean Hermione was still alive? And how did she know them? And why was she calling them Aunt and Uncle…

Ron came sidling over.

"Hello, pretty. Who're you?" he asked her, his voice very controlled.

"Hello Dad."

A/N: That's all for today folks. I got going and just couldn't stop… yeah!
