The next morning, Hermione sent an owl to the Grangers. She told them that she knew of the adoption, and asked if they would come to Hogwarts. After sending the owl, she followed Minerva to breakfast in the great hall. It was an awkward event to say the least. The Gryffindors treated her as if nothing had happened. The Slytherins suddenly wanted to be friends, and the Hufflepuffs avoided her, while the Ravenclaws stared.
The Grangers arrived just before dinner. Minerva and Hermione opted to skip dinner in the great hall in favor of eating with their guests in Minerva's rooms. The four sat down and began to eat in awkward silence. Finally Hermione spoke up. "Mum, dad, I'm afraid that something bad will happen to you if I don't stay with you. ON the other hand, I'm worried that if I don't stay with mama, he will be upset now that I know I'm adopted."
"I could ask him." Minerva said. "Either way we just want you to be happy Hermione."
"That's true Mia." Jane Granger spoke up. "We love you and all we want for you is for you to be safe and happy."
"I just don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. I also want to be near mama to help her with the baby."
"What about if you stay with me during the school year, and go to London in the summer?" Asked Minerva. "I could teach you about port keys in the event that floo travel isn't safe."
"That would work." Hermione answered. "Mum, dad, is that ok with you?"
"It's fine Mia. That's usually when we see you anyway. jWe should get going though." Kasey Granger answered as he stood up. Both he and his wife hugged their daughter.
"Take care of her for us." He requested of Minerva.
"I will." She answered.
"Have you finished your homework?" Minerva asked when they were alone.
"Mostly. I'm tired can we go to bed mama?"
"Ok"
At 10:30 that night, Albus popped in for their weekly chess game, only to find mother and daughter snuggled together, fast asleep.
