a/n: hello my loyal subjects! here is another chapter for y'all. read at risk. its not very good but its something right?
Hermione and Raina walked through the busy store of Flourish and Blotts. Hermione smiled at reminice at the full walls of books. Raina looked around in awe and amazment. She could not believe she had never been in this store before.
Raina, who had inherited her mother's love for books, had looked through the rows upon rows of books. She hastily grabbed the book that took her interest. The Day's Devils and the Night's Angels was what the book was called. The spine of the book was violet red and had gold decoration of leaves and flowers. The front was violet red velvet with the title with gold letters.
"That's a good book" said a voice behind Raina. She twirled around and came facing a boy with green eyes and short black hair. He smirked at Raina's reaction to his sudden words.
A couple of rows behind Raina's, Hermione look onward to her daughter talking to the boy. Hermione's eyes squinted to the lady farther down the store, eyeing the boy. An aging looking lady with short black hair and with the face like a pug. Hermione gasped slightly, "Pansy" she whispered to herself.
Back at Raina's aisle...
"I attend Beauxbatons" said Raina for the boy had asked which school she attended. The boy nodded. "I go to Hogwarts" he said with distaste in his tone. Raina smiled wide. "Really? What's it like?" The boy shrugged. "It's okay. Nothing special." Raina looked down at the book in her hands. She took a double take looking over the boy's shoulder.
"Who's that lady" she asked. The boy looked over his shoulder at the lady and looked back at Raina. "That's my mum" he replied. Raina nodded. She saw the lady she was talking about start moving toward them.
"Did you find your book darling" said Pansy Parkinson, staring suspiciously at Raina. The boy rolled his eyes. "No mum, now go away" he snapped. "Marshall" yelled Pansy, "Don't you dare speak to me in such a manner." Marshall sighed and moved onto another aisle.
Pansy eyed Raina. "Who're your parents?" asked Pansy. "Err...Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger" replied Raina uncomfortabley. "I knew it" Pansy muttered under her breath. "Pardon" asked Raina. Pansy shook her head. Suddenly, Hermione walked up to her daughter. "You ready to go hon? It's awfully crowded" said Hermione.
"Hermione Granger" said Pansy with no emotion. Glaring at Pansy, Hermione said, "Your son seems like a gentleman. Did you adopt him?" Pansy gaped at Hermione. "Well that shows how much you keep in touch with your best friends" she snapped. Hermione raised an eyebrow in a questioning manner.
"My son is mine and Harry Potter's. After seventh year when I realized it was him who had gave me my bracelet, I decided it wasn't all that bad. So we began to date and then we had Marshall. Well I have no idea why I'm explaining anything to you." Hermione gave Pansy an unpleasnt hand gesture as she passed her with Raina walking behind her.
After Hermione had paid for Raina's book, they had gone to Florean Fortesue's Ice Cream Parlor that had reopend over time. Raina licked her vannilla and chocolate mint ice cream as she read her book. Hermione sipped her chocolate shake and stared out the window. She can see small children running around each other and looked through the store windows.
She could remember not being apart of all this excitment. The first time she had expirienced Diagon Alley, she had spent most of her time in Flourish and Blotts. Hermione's thoughts were drown out by Raina's voice. "Mum...mum" she had said repeatedly. Hermione looked at her daughter.
"What is it honey" she said. Raina took another lick of her ice cream before speaking again. "Have you decided whether I can go to Hogwarts yet?" The teen looked at her mother with hope in her eyes. Hermione sighed. "Honey, I'm not entirely sure if you can be accepted after not getting an acceptance letter when you're 11." Raina gave a disappointed sigh. "But I'll see what I can do" added Hermione.
Raina's face brightened. She stood up and hugged her mother. "Thank you, thank you, thank you" Raina said. Hermione laughed, "Finish up we still have much to do." Raina nodded and sat back down to her ice cream.
Later, when Raina and Hermione came home, the house was empty. Not unless you include the scurrying maids doing their job. Raina took her book and walked up the stairs to her bedroom. Hermione put down her bags and Denise came over to Hermione, taking her bags. "How was your day Mrs. Malfoy" asked Denise, taking the bags to the nearest table.
Hermione nodded and walked up the stairs as well. She walked up to her study and entered. Her study was a room filled with books around the walls and in the middle of the room was a wood desk with a stack of papers on the left edge, a smaller pile of parchment on the right, and a bottle of ink and a quill in the top right. Hermione liked her things organized.
She walked to her desk and sat down. She took a piece of parchment and placed it in the center of the desk. Dabbing her quill in ink, she started writing.
Dear Professor McGonagal,
I have a request, and it would be fabulous if it can be granted. As you know, I have a daughter. She is currently 15 year old and has been longing to attend Hogwarts. Though, at this time my husband, Draco Malfoy and I are living in Paris and we are sending our daughter to Beauxbatons. Do you think it is possible to transfer my daughter to Hogwarts this year? Please let me know when you have the time.
Your former student,
Hermione Malfoy
When Hermione seemed pleased with her letter, she rolled it up and wrapped a single purple ribbon around it. She walked over to the window to an eagle owl. Hermione put the letter on the owls leg and whispered who it should sending it to. When the owl took flight, Hermione heard the door open. She turned around and saw Draco at the door.
Hermione smiled and walked over to her husband. Draco embraced Hermione and kissed her. "How was your day" he asked. Hermione smiled. "I did a little shopping. I just sent a letter to McGonagal asking if I could transfer Raina" she explained. "That's good. Raina would like that" he said. "MmmHmm." Both Draco and Hermione sighed.
"Do you think she'll ever find out" asked Hermione. "Find out what" Draco questioned, even though he knew exactly what Hermione was talking about. "About...you know. Michael?" Draco held Hermione tighter, "I'm sure she'll find out sooner or later. But for now, let her continue to be a Malfoy. Please." Hermione nodded and stayed silent.
A few weeks later...
Hermione returned to her study in knowledge that she had recieved a letter. Taking the letter from the eagle owl, Hermione opened it and read.
Dear Mrs. Malfoy,
You should well know it is against policy to accept students that haven't recieved the acceptance letter when the student in question is 11 years of age. Although, I shall spare you for you were a favorite of mine. This is the only favor I shall grant for you and your daughter. Starting September first, your daughter will be a pupil of Hogwarts. She will start out in fifth year. I will be pleased to see Raina.
Sincerely,
Minerva McGonagal, Headmistress
Hermione smiled at the letter and ran to tell Raina as if she was 15 again.
