Chapter 3: Shocking Revelations Part 2

Hermione was never quite that nervous more than at that moment being gawked like she was a ghost. The only person in the tranquil room who wasn't gaping like a fish was Draco. Looking at the other four people in front of her Hermione could tell they were not expecting her presence today.

Sirius' expression was the most revealing of them all. His eyes were literally bulged out of its sockets and his jaws were dropped open. Next to him Remus was quite astonish but less so than Sirius. Turning to the third person in front of her Hermione could tell Tonks was angry but for the life of her Hermione didn't know why. Her eyes were narrowed, her lips thinned and hers jaws clenched as if holding back from saying anything.

Dismissing Tonks, Hermione turned and looked at the last person in the room. Harry. He hasn't changed a bit she thought. Today he stood tall, his broad shoulders straight and a bit stiffened. His black hair was still shaggy as ever no matter how much product was used to tame it. Just like hers. She always thought that it was a big coincidence that the two of them had wild untamed hair. His body still looked good as ever even more so with age. Looking up and locking her eyes with his green smoldering ones, Hermione stopped breathing as her heart skipped a beat. He wore no facial expression of astonishment or whatsoever. He just stood there staring at her blankly or so Hermione thought.

Her thoughts were cut short when Remus said quietly but loud in enough for everyone to hear, "Hermione? Is that really you?"

"You mean you see her too. That that person standing before us is just not a figment of my imagination," said Sirius coming out of his shock. He shook his head and then walked up to Hermione and pinched her cheeks and when he felt the flesh between his fingers, he jumped back and exclaimed, "Holy crap! It is you," Turning to the others he said excitedly, "Look everyone, it's Hermione. She's back. She's real. Not a hallucination."

Hermione didn't know whether to laugh or cry at that moment. Breathing in deeply and then out she opted to just smile and said, "Yes it's really me." Turning to Sirius, she told him, "You're not hallucinating Sirius. I'm standing right in front of you in the flesh."

With that said Sirius made a sudden move and pulled Hermione into his arms and gave her a bone-crushing hug sucking out all the air from her lungs. After a full minute or so he relinquished her from his grasp allowing her to breathe again but then she was pulled into another crushing hug courtesy of Remus. When he let her go Hermione saw that both he and Sirius were fighting back tears. Smiling, she walked up to Tonks and gave her a hug and kiss on the cheek saying, "It's good to see you again Tonks. It's been so long." In which she was given in return a nod and cool smile. Smiling as though not noticing the cold welcome she got from Tonks, Hermione turned to Harry who was still staring blankly at her and said in a soft voice, "Hello Harry. I'm…uh…sorry about your parents. They were good people. They didn't deserve to go like the way they did."

Harry nodded but didn't say anything. He turned to Draco and bit out, "If that's all the surprises you've got for us this afternoon I would like to get on with why we're here."

Hermione felt like she'd gotten a slap in the face. She could tell to that Remus and Sirius was also shocked at Harry's attitude towards her. Tonks sat down and didn't say anything although she too was a little mystified. Looking at Draco, Hermione saw that that he was watching her as if asking permission to say something to Harry but she shook her head saying no. Little did they both know that Harry saw the exchange and was pissed off about it.

Taking her seat Hermione said to Draco, "Yes let's get to it shall we?"

Sighing Draco resumed his seat and shuffled his papers.

"We're here today, March 9th, 2006 to read the last will in testimony of Mr. James and Mrs. Lily Potter. This will was made three weeks prior to their deaths. Uncle James and Aunt Lily made separate wills in case any of them were deceased before the other and another will which they both made in case they both went the same time," he said explained. "Their joint will is the one we will be reading." When everyone nodded in understanding Draco picked up the sheaf of papers and began reading.

"Hello my darlings. This is Lily by the way. James is beside me. He doesn't want to do this. He says we're immortal and we're going to live forever and don't need this crap. Those were his words. I had to force him to do this. As usual. You all know what he's like when he doesn't want to do something. But enough about James I as much I love the insufferable prat that he is."

Everyone in the room either smiled or chuckled at that. The only person quiet was Harry. Draco continued reading.

"If you all are hearing this letter then that means and James and I died at the same time. Just like I always imagined we would. James wants us to get on with it. He says he has to kick Sirius' ass and I'm wasting valuable time. So without further ado here's the one, the only James Potter."

"Hey you people of the living world. As can see I am now part of the dead world. So sad! In the words of Simple Plan "How could this happen to me". Anyways Lily is glaring at me to get on with it so let's get to it shall we."

"To Sirius, my friend and brother, you've been there like no other during the worst and best times in my life. This is something Lily and I know you'll love and you've always wanted of mine. Sirius today's your lucky day mate. Today mate, we leave you my 150 classic motorcycle collection .Right now I bet your eyes are bulged and your jaw is hanging opening mate. Am I right or am I right!"

In truth just like James said, Sirius looked exactly like James described he would. Except that Sirius had tears in his eyes.

Draco continued reading.

"To Remus, you too have been there for me. You were the one who told me to follow my heart and my dreams. And it's thanks to you that Lily and I were able to be together and for that I and Lily thank-you a thousand times and more. Lily wanted you and Tonks to have the Villa in Greece. She said that that place has a special meaning to you both. Special meaning eh? I want to know but Lily doesn't want to tell me. She says it's not any of my business. Are you keeping secrets from Sirius and me? I thought we were all friends that shared everything. But don't worry I forgive but that doesn't mean I won't haunt you for the rest of your life for keeping secrets. Also we want Tonks to have Lily's Black XK Series Jaguar."

Remus chuckled at James' words and Tonks was smiling. She had tears running down her cheeks. "I told Lily when James bought the car for her that I wished I could get one and now she's gone she gave me hers," she said sniffing behind a kerchief. Understanding Remus grasped her hands and held it tightly.

"This is Lily here again. To Hermione, my beautiful girl. It's been so long. I hope and pray you are here today at this reading. We've missed you so much over the passed years. James and I want you to have the villa in Tuscany and we've given you 25 percent of Potter Industries and a place on the board of directors. Also I want you to be the chairwoman on all of my charity foundations."

Hermione was shell shocked. She couldn't believe it. What were they thinking, giving her quarter of Potter Industries? She looked at the people sitting beside her. Remus and Sirius were smiling in congratulations to her and Tonks was looking uncomfortable and staring over Hermione's shoulder. Turning Hermione saw Harry looking right at her. His eyes were cold with fury and his jaw and hands were clenched tightly. Looking at him intently she tried telling him she didn't know anything about the shares. But he continued watching her coldly.

Harry laughed bitter inwardly at Hermione's expression. Who was she trying to kid looking astounded at the information they just heard with those big brown eyes of hers? He always knew she had his parents wrapped around her fingers but he didn't know just how much till then.

"Draco, are you sure you read the right person's name?" Hermione asked

"Off course I did Hermione. It's right here on this paper." He answered.

"But…" Hermione started.

"Hermione dear. James and Lily would have really wanted you to accept. They loved you just like one of their own. You know that." said Sirius.

"Yes, I Know. But..."

"But nothing," interrupted Remus.

"Um…may I continue? We've got a lot to get through as yet," said Draco

"Please do," Tonks Said.

Draco read on.

"James back here. To our sons, Harry, Jordan and Nikko, your mother and I leave the remaining 3 quarters of the company to be divided equally amongst yourselves along with the remaining assets. In the case of Jordan and Nikko being so young we leave their shares to be looked after by guardian until their 21st birthdays. We have set up 2 trust funds in their name also which will aid their bringing up until their 21st birthdays."

Draco was interrupted by Harry when he asked. "Who are the boys' guardians?"

Hermione saw Draco shift uncomfortably in his seat. He twitched and then said, "I was getting to that Potter." He picked up the papers again and started reading.

"Lily here. We finally come to the last part of this will. The boys' guardian. James and I have thought very hard about who should be the twins' guardian just in case anything happened to us. It was very tough. We trust everyone who's here today with our lives and with the lives of our children. We spent many hours discussing it and we decided that the boys' guardians should be Hermione…"

"What?" Harry stood up towering over everyone. He was beyond furious. His eyes were flashing with red hot anger. How could his parents do that to him? He thought getting angrier. Jordan and Nikko were his brothers he enraged, not hers. Hell he may not know his own brothers well but he was still their flesh and blood whereas she was just an ex-…

"Potter sits down? I'm not finished," Draco said.

Turning to Hermione, Harry laughed bitterly and bit out, "Don't think you're getting the boys without a fight from me, I'll see you in hell first."

Hermione was reeled backwards. If looks could kill Hermione knew she would joining Lily and James up in the great sky at that moment. Harry was so furious. The veins on his forehead were visible and was he trying hard to strain himself from lashing out at her. Me, guardian of the boys? Mio dio! Had James and Lily gone mad in the last few weeks of their lives? She thought.

"Potter I said I wasn't through and if you make one more threat to Hermione I'll file charges and don't think I won't." Draco said standing up and staring coldly at Harry. "Now sit down and let me finish."

Harry wasn't backing down he looked coldly at Draco but a hand held him back. Turning back Harry saw Sirius beckoning to sit back down. Glowering at Sirius, Harry obeyed.

Picking up the paper Draco looked at Harry and finished.

"We spent many hours discussing it and we decided that the boys' guardians should be Hermione and Harry."

Sucking in his breath Harry was left speechless. Santa Maria! What more surprises did his parents have for him today he thought?

If Hermione was shocked before, she was even more so now hearing that last bit of the will. Her and Harry co-guardians of 5 year old children? Hermione looked up at the ceiling and silently prayed that that was all the surprises Lily and James had for her today. She was shaken out of her prayers when Draco continued.

"Uncle James and Aunt Lily also left these letters for both of you and the boys," Draco said handing Harry and Hermione their respective letters and giving the boys' letters to Harry. "If any of you need to clear up we can do so another time. I think we've been through enough for today." He said glancing at both Harry and Hermione.

Clearing her throat Tonks said, "Yes. That's a good idea Draco. We all need to take the time to digest all that's been said here today.

Remus and Sirius both stood and nodded then walked to the door. Remus held it open so Tonks could pass and they all disappeared.

Still furious from earlier Harry stood up and looked at both Draco and Hermione and said, "We'll definitely talk later," and with that said he left leaving Draco and Hermione alone.
