It had been a week since Holly's birthday party. Hermione rolled out of bed, yawning and stretching her arms above her head. She smiled faintly at the bit on sunlight that poured through the blinds. Today was a new day. She started around her plain room. It contained a small dresser, which held her few outfits. A mirror, which hung on the wall, its frame cracked and the white paint pealing off from the summer's heat. There was also a picture, it sat on the wooden table beside her bed. It was of her, as a schoolgirl, she was smiling and her bushy brown hair was tied back into a tight bun, but a few strands had escaped and framed her face. Her two best friends stood beside her, they were laughing.
Hermione frowned at the picture, it reminded of so many things, good and bad. Hermione hadn't seen Harry and Ron since she had dropped out of school. She hadn't wanted to drop out of Hogwarts, but she didn't really have a choice. She was pregnant with Holly, and she needed help with the baby. She left so she could live with her parents. She had gotten a letter or two that she kept in her drawer. They must have graduated, and must have gotten jobs. Now they were only history. Sometimes she wished they could see her, and they could see Holly. She had grown up without a father in her life. And Hermione was sure that if Holly grew up around Harry and Ron, they would have made up for that.
Hermione flipped the pancakes that she was making for breakfast. She heard Holly yawn and pull out a chair so she could sit down at the tiny table. Hermione looked over her shoulder, and Holly was flipping through the mail. When she felt her mothers gaze on her she looked up and smiled. Holly truly had an amazing smile. She cheeks lit up, and her eyes seemed to sparkle. Her chestnut hair swept over her shoulders. Hermione turned back to the stove, and turned off the element slowly.
"Come here, if you want a pancake," she said glancing back at Holly.
She rose and skipped over the Hermione happily. Holding out her plate and grinning like the Cheshire cat. Hermione placed two pancakes on it, and covered them with pure maple syrup. Holly smiled gratefully and went and sat down. Eating like she hadn't eaten in days. When she had finished her eyes wandered recklessly about the room, as she licked the sweet syrup from her fingers.
Hermione reached out for the mail, flipping through it, her mind else were. When she stopped…it was a letter for Ms. Holly Mai Granger, Hermione's eyes traveled over it. Probably just another birthday card she told herself. When she flipped it over in her hands, her eyes fell onto the familiar crest. She studied it for a moment. It was the Hogwarts Crest. She stared up at Holly, who was staring back at her suspicously.
A/N: Okay! This is Chapter one, I have the annoying habit of ending all my chapters with cliff hangers. Sorry about that.
