Chapter 1 - Midnight Owls
Looking up from her desk Hermione realised she would have to stand up to see over the papers that had accumulated over its surface. Standing she raised her arms above her head stretching and letting a yawn escape her lips before walking out of her office then down the hall of her muggle apartment. She walked to a door painted a light shade of blue on the left side of the hall. Silently opening the door just enough to look around the door to observe the small sleeping figure.
Feeling everything is as it should be she went back to her previous task, deciding how to answer the owl that had just been delivered moments before. "It is a good offer" she said turning to Kwell her dear friend. Picking up the letter from Hogwarts she scanned the letters contents for the third time that night.
"What is Mione?"
"Here read this" she said while passing the letter to her
Kwell cleared her throat before reading it outloud
"Dear Ms Hermione Granger
I am pleased to inform you that we are in need of your services as a professor of potions at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. We know that you are well suited for the position of Potions Mistress and would be very much in your dept if you would grace our students with your knowledge .There is no hurry in replying; though we hope you will join our happy troupe.
Your friend and old Headmaster
Albus Dumbledore"
"Is a good offer Mione" she said and handed the parchment back to Hermione
Hermione placed the letter back on her desk and said all of the possibilities of being back at Hogwarts to Kwell who listened patiantly. "It would be good for Seleeny, she would be safe and have a chance to see Hogwarts before she attends in four years but I'm not even sure if professor Dumbledore would let me bring a seven year old to Hogwarts with me and I won't leave you here, your family.
At those words Kwell started to get teary eyed.
"Oh Kwell I'm sorry have I upset you?" she asked looking worried
"Oh no Kwell is not upset, feel happy with family" she said reasuredly
"Alright, well I'll just have to ask, if he would allow me to bring Seleeny and you, If so I would need you to help me with care for Seleeny while I teach, is that alright?"
"Would be insulted if you didn't" she stated while Hermione grinned
With positive thoughts in her mind Hermione quickly wrote a reply before scanning its contents wondering if she had left anything of importance before reading it to Kwell for her oppinion.
"Dear Headmaster
I am extremely enthusiastic to receive a summon to become the new potions professor am ready to accept with gratitude, but I would need to bring my seven year old daughter Seleeny and Kwell my house elf with me.
Seleeny will be cared for by Kwell when I have classes and I would like Kwell to live with me she is practically family. If you could agree to these requests I will happily accept your offer.
Love from your old student and friend.
Hermione Granger"
"What do you think?"
"Wonderful and Heartfilling Mione"
Hermione smiled then sent the letter off with the owl she decided it was time she got some sleep herself.
"Its time for bed Kwell, if I don't get some sleep I won't be able go get of my rear tomorrow"
"Night Mione" she said, then there was a pop and she was gone
Hermione walked down the hall to the second door on the right and entered her room. Hermione changed, climbed into bed, put out the light then slipped into a slumber.
Hermione woke with a jolt of surprise when she felt her bed heave to the side as Seeeny jumped onto the four-poster to wake Hermione for breakfast.
"Mum, Mum, Mum, Mu..."
"Alright, alright I'm up"
Seleeny looked at Hermione disbelivingly
"I'm up, really. go get dressed then wait in the kitchen for me, ok?"
"Yes mum" she replied with a sloppy salute before jumping off the bed and running out the door.
Hermione rose from bed, showered, dressed and tidied her apperance in the mirror. she wasn't exactly attractive but her features had finally settled, her teeth had been fixed so they didn't stick out now, her hair was a lot more managable and she had finnished filling out her simple curves. Deciding she had wasted enough time staring at herself she went to the kitchen.
Hermione made Seleeny's breakfast while Kwell made theirs when an insistent tapping sounded through the apartment. "There must be a reply to my letter last night" she said to Kwell while they both walked into her office and allowing admittance to the owl from the previous night.
"Thank you" Hermione said while nodding to the owl who hooted in response.
Opening the letter Hermione read out...
"Dear Ms Hermione Granger
We would be thrilled to have you, Ms Kwell and young miss Seleeny house with us. We will be expecting all of you at Hogwarts a month from today at seven in the afternoon for dinner, I know this may be uncomfortable for Kwell so she may eat with the other house elves, in her room or with us it is her decision and I do look forward to meeting her.
The students will be arriving the same day so the Hogwarts Express is the best transportation, I know this is short notice but I know you will thrive at the challenge, start planning your classes professor.
I am eager to meet the child and family of our most promising new staff member.
Your old friend and colleague
Albus Dumbledore"
Hermione couldn't help but grin with enthusiasm, then she and Kwell returned to the kitchen to find Seleeny hadn't finished her breakfast but was making a face out of her cornflakes on the table.
"Seleeny how many times have I told you not to play with your food?"
"Umm, that was the first mum"
"Oh, well then let that be the only time"
Seleeny smiled and put her cereal back into her bowl.
"Seleeny... we're going to move soon" Hermione stated unsure of her reaction
"W-we are? Where? When? Why?" she stammered
"Yes we are, we're moving to Hogwarts my old school, we leave in a month and because mummy is going to work there as a teacher"
"What about Kwelly?"
"She's coming with us"
"Can I bring Grizzle?"
"Yes, we wont leave, your bear"
"What about my stuff?"
"It will come with us"
"Will it take long to get there?"
"A few hours"
"How will we get there?"
"We're taking a train to Hogwarts"
"Wh..."
"Alright that's enough questions for now, it's time to finish your food then we'll start packing"
"Can I please ask one more question?" she asked looking at here mum with big puppy eyes and a pout
Hermione sighed " Alright what is it?"
"Whats a Hogwarts?"
Hermione and Kwell started to laugh while Seleeny stared at them confused
"You will see soon enough"
