Chapter Three: Family Pendant (Hermione… she's alive!)
"Coming!" Hermione poured the popcorn inside the bowl racing to the living room putting Teddy on her lap covering themselves with a blanket with Neville and Luna next to them on the love seat as we watched the movie Frozen with popcorn.
"Momma look, look," Teddy declared staring at the moose "It's a moose,"
Hermione giggled "I can see that love, we're going to see a moose at the zoo tomorrow now let's be quiet so we can hear the song okay," she softly whispered.
"Okay," Teddy nodded munching on the popcorn with his eyes in awe "This is so good momma," he says.
"Thank you luv I'm glad you're loving the popcorn be careful it's a little spicy I used to eat this when I was your age," Hermione pats her god son on the head gently as they continued to watch the Frozen movie not realizing that their being watch by her older brothers Zander and Logan were watching from the window "Make sure Mooney and the pups are warm Teddy we don't want them to be sick," she murmured.
Teddy nodded wrapping Mooney and the pups in their blanket in their beds watching the movie as they gave a tired yawn. A few feet from the window bay there were two shadows watching from the window not realizing that it was Zander and Logan Granger, Hermione's older brothers who learned the truth that their little sister is indeed alive thanks to Alice vision who overheard their conversation from their hiding spot and felt her magic underground, plus their pendants were glowing so that's the biggest surprise for everyone.
Zander's P.O.V.
"Hey Logan…."
"Yeah…"
"Don't you think this is a little stalkerish and creepy that we're doing this?"
"How is this creepy this is the only lead we have that … could… be …"
"I know… I know… but, we've been following the around all day is a bit stalkerish don't you think?"
"Well I don't see you coming up with other ideas…" Logan hissed at him.
"I know...but, this could be a trap trying to mistaking her as our sister," I weakly says.
Logan sighed tiredly looking at his pendant "Z…look at this pendant?"
"What about it?"
"Look at yours?"
Zander frowned looking at his pendant then widen his eyes in shock "How in the—" he was cut off by his brother Logan.
"Exactly…this is our sign Z… our pendant when has it ever glowed before?"
It dawned to me that it wasn't the first time it glowed… it's a charm whenever our pendants glow it would mean something but, it never glowed red and gold before—
"Are you saying that she's—" I drifted off staring at the window of our sister.
"Hermione… Hermione Anastasia Sophia Carson Jean Granger…Z…" Logan gave me a grim sort of happy look "Our little sister made it out alive along with her friends if I have to guess the boy is Neville Longbottom, the girl next to him is Luna Lovegood and the baby Teddy Lupin the only son of Remus Lupin and Nymphondora Lupin 'nee Tonks our childhood friend…this whole entire time they must've escaped somehow without anyone finding out they made out alive making the rest of us think they were dead when they're alive... " he whispered.
"Bloody hell…" I hoarse tones "But, that's impossible because the Daily Prophet said—"
Logan scoffed at this "That newspaper of the Daily Prophet is absolutely rubbish and we both know that I'm surprised you even believe that rubbish knowing how it tends to twist things when it comes with our sister," he began to say pausing a moment "And trust me Z… this isn't a trap….if it was… we would've felt …her powerful wards around the house… we could've … been dead you know how powerful she is with defense spells," he explained.
I grew quiet with a tired sigh leaning against the tree "Yeah we all know how powerful she is as a witch Logan but, I don't see why you're complaining about the whole thing though since you're the one that Mya enrolled into Forks High just this morning?" I explained.
Logan sighed leaning against the tree "I know I did… but, I didn't realize it was our sister that time since I was too busy doing paperwork that was before I saw the new students name and learned that she used a false name… she didn't use our original name Z…"
"False name? You failed to mention that?"
"Well I didn't think I need too since I wasn't expecting her to come here alive and healthy … it's the same name as ours?"
"What do you mean?"
"Mya… she used mum's maiden name… Reese...Hermione Anastasia Sophia Carson Jean Reese… Neville… his is also Reese either he's portraying as our brother or cousin… then there's Luna… hers is Kacey's maiden name?"
"Simon?"
"Yes?"
"Luna Simon?"
"Yes?"
"Why didn't you tell me that before?"
"I wasn't sure if it's our sister or not…I mean the last name Reese is pretty common around these parts so I didn't connect the dots with it and the name Hermione is rarely unique around these parts,"
"I know it is but, how many people would use Hermione Reese especially since it's mum's maiden name and our great nana due to the fact she was named after her?"
"Not a lot of people as far as I know except us who named our daughters after our little sister to remember by which is why I wasn't 100% it was our sister since I thought I was seeing things…and followed her this morning before we met up and told you what happen,"
"YOU WHAT?!"
"Shhhhhh will you lower your voice," Logan hissed in low tones turning to the house noticing they're still in the living room "Do you want us to get caught," he explained.
"Sorry it's just… you followed her?"
"Well I wanted to be sure if she's real or not Z...and I'm just as surprised as you are,"
"Bloody hell…" I sighed tiredly in defeat "You're not the only one... "
"So …."
"So… what?"
"Do you think it's her… Mia I mean?"
"I mean it could be anyone portraying as her but, we don't know that for sure… since we never confronted her about it yet,"
"I know… I was about to confront her why she looked like my dead sister but, I realize… I would've looked crazy in this town and I didn't realize it until I saw this place… do you recognize this house?"
"What do you mean?"
"You do realize this house… is the one that mum and dad bought a few years ago who else would own this house since it's under our name… Z…"
Zander face drained "Besides you… Barry… Jay… Ariel.. And myself there's … Mya…then there's the twins Elias and Evie but, they weren't born then but, that's impos—" he began to say turning to their sister Hermione was chatting away with Neville and Luna with Teddy sitting on her lap playing with the puppies "Do you think she'd—" he paused for a moment turning to Logan "You think she found the pamphlet from mum and dad don't you?" he explained.
"Considering our old house is still ours… I wasn't … 100% sure… until I hired someone to look into it?"
"Who?"
"Robb… he owes me a favor and told me some stuff"
"What kind of stuff?"
"Apparently… our whole neighborhood of Bella Vista is completely abandoned no one hasn't set foot in that neighborhood in years… it's like a ghost town,"
"Ghost town? I thought they would've come back by now,"
"No no one hasn't step foot in Bella Vista not since the war..."
"What about the rest of our old neighbors back there?"
"They haven't came back… considering … Mya used most of her magic to protect our neighbors before the war gotten really dangerous back in her 5th year remember?"
"Bloody hell… then how did they—" I began to say licking his lips nervously "Do you think … Mya … and her friends with Teddy made it out alive… and hide underground in muggle London," he explained with a hoarse tone.
"I wouldn't be surprised if she did… she is pretty smart," Logan whispered.
"And yet we couldn't even think of that," I swore under my breath "Why didn't we thought that before,"
"I don't know… Z… but, at least… we know now…"
"So you think she's still alive,"
"I don't think… I know in my gut and it's never wrong before… considering we're looking at our sister right now…"
"But, how did you—" I began to say mid-stopped pausing for a moment then gave a defeated sigh by randomly changing the subject "You know what never mind…" he sighed tiredly leaning against the tree staring at their sister Hermione chatting away with her friends "How did you find the house that mum and dad bought anyway?" he explained.
"I looked it up … and I never got to look at the properties that mum and dad left us including the house…in Forks that they bought a few years ago... the street is under Winterfell Ave the only reason I know is because mum and dad left it to us in their wills when they pass away… and I just haven't had the time to umm put it in sale… and also… umm… I got a call from one of the real estate agent Lila late in Friday… she told me that someone wanted to live at the house…claiming it's her parents house I didn't realize at the time that it was…our sister...who came back from the dead until I felt her magic last night" he explained.
"Magic? You felt her magic?" I whispered.
"Not at first until … I recognize her magic signature around town I thought I was hallucinating but, there she was.… Mya arrived here at the house with Neville, Luna and Teddy,"
"Bloody hell…" I whispered in hoarse tones.
"That's what I said…" Logan laughed in a hollow tone staring at the window with a distant look "So what do we do?" he murmured.
I felt my throat dry "I-I wish I knew I mean how do we know it's really our sister it could be a sick prank joke…" I began to say causing Logan conflicted about to argue but, I cut him off "Not that I don't believe you bro because I do… like I mentioned before it could be a trap… but, I doubt it…I'm still not convince that she's our sister yet...and even if it was true how do we explain this to Barry … Jay and Ariel… especially Ariel given how devastated she was along with Aqua," I pointed out.
Logan grew quiet "I know it may look like a trick or a joke on both parts but, it can't be…a trick ...it just can't... " he whispered.
"You really want to believe she's alive don't you…" I whispered.
"Of course that's our baby sister Z…don't you want to know if she's alive or not," Logan argued back.
"Of course I do… you're not the only one who loved our baby sister Logan… but, this is way beyond our control...but, it took us a long time to accept she was dead remember,"
"I don't need a reminder… it brought us … in a very dark place… " Logan stiffly began to say causing me to steady our breathing "It was hard…" he whispered.
"For us both yeah it did… but, not as bad as Ariel was… or Aqua…" I pointed out.
"Or Barry….and Jay...they took hard then we did...we all did… in our own way," Logan pointed out.
"I know… I know…" I sighed tiredly leaning against the tree " I just can't believe she's alive… and we couldn't … even … find her… and we're her family…" I whispered.
Logan held a grim look "I know…so what now it's not like we can just go to the house and demand answers... I mean what if they're lying?"
"Who?"
"Who else would I be talking about," Logan gave a flat tone causing me to wince at this "The Cullens I mean they're the ones who started this whole thing …that leech saw our sister in her vision last night that's when I felt the magic before that whole vision crap came to be … but, how do we know that it's our baby sister … could be alive… it could be a trick a false premination for us to make us think that … she could be alive somewhere… needing our help… " he argued back.
"As much as I want to agree… Alice visions… are usually… right…but, I know what you mean though… I don't trust the Cullens either except maybe Dr. Cullen and Esme who I get along with but, their children not so much"
Logan snorted "Exactly and sometimes they're not always right Zayne," he pointed out.
"We both know her visions are legit as much as you want to argue over that fact Alice... visions were never wrong before..."
Logan sighed tiredly "Then how do you suppose we can confirm our suspicions if she's our actually sister or not…" he pointed out.
"I figured we can … just look through the window…"
"And you think it's that easy to look through the window when she could be using a powerful wards outside the house?"
"Well… I'm not saying she would… but, it's better then being sitting here like ducks by confirming our suspicions that it's her… like really her...she's our baby sister Logan,"
"I know she is but, you don't think this isn't hard for me then it was for you… you're not the only one who cared about our baby sister Z… I loved her too...we both did… along with our parents… our parents loved us equally I just find this hard to believe that our own baby sister made out alive… from that raid attack thanks to those death eaters that it made the news stating that Hermione Granger the last of the Golden Trio is now dead… along with Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood and the baby Teddy Lupin… who were the only ones who didn't survive that attack being the only members in the Order to get killed and now we find out that she's alive Z… I mean don't you think that's a little suspicions to you…"
I leaned against the tree "I know…. I know… we both were… in a very bad dark place trust me I don't want to go there either but, bloody hell Logan … how did we end up like this,"
"End up like what?"
"Losing hope over our baby sister… we never done that before… especially when it comes with our family we always have hope… and then it just went down the drain the minute we learned that she got killed last year only to find out she's alive… how did we end up here…"
"I don't know but, the Daily Prophet did claim 'she was dead' along with her friends who got killed Z…we been following every newspaper over Mya… Harry… and Ron during the war… it took them a year to win the war… but, neither of us realize it was that bad… I guess they didn't want us to panic or be worried sick … or something," Logan shrugged at this causing me to snort at this "They even said they found her body… during the explosion… that happen a year ago… stating there's nothing but, ashes...clearly that's a bloody lie," he explained scoffing at this.
"I know… we even … gave her a funeral… without a body inside… and now we find out our baby sister came back from the dead… only she was never dead… she just hid where no one can find her or her friends I mean... she always been good at that remember,"
Logan gave a low chuckle "Yeah … she always have… she's good at charm spells like that…" he began to say then he turned to me looking serious "So what do we do… do we just… go in there demand answers…I mean we can't exactly do that… due to the powerful wards around the house now can we…I can feel how powerful it is," he explained.
"She probably would…since she doesn't know it's us… so it's probably a threat…against us... but, it's the only thing that we got Logan,"
Logan sighed tiredly "You're the boss… after you…" he offered.
It took a couple of minutes for Zander and Logan to walk to the house but, the powerful wards recognize them but, they had to be extra careful not wanting to reveal themselves just yet watching the window by the trees where you can see the living room inside where Hermione, Neville, Luna, Teddy with the puppies watching a movie.
"Hey Logan," I gave a nod signal at the window facing the living room inside the house "I—I found her… there she is…" he whispered.
Logan immediately rushed to my side as his face drained, pale as a ghost feeling conflicted with emotions "Z… "
"Yeah…I know…"
"Bloody hell…she's really alive… that leech actually… said something right…"
"I didn't want to believe it either but, the clues were right there Logan… she's really alive…" I covered my mouth feeling myself crying in relief, happy and conflicted "How the bloody hell did the leech see our sister alive in her vision yet we couldn't even find her… from the past six years… six years Logan… we even hired a private investor and he found nothing all dead ends….everyone that we cared about… our family… our friends… everyone in England… are all dead… except a few...who managed to be alive… until now... it's a sign… Logan… our sister is alive…"
"I don't know but, we have to tell Barry… Jay and Ariel,"
"No…"
"What why the hell not?"
"We can't… they wouldn't believe us…"
"Of course they would that's our sister?"
"Do you remember what happen last time that we tried to tell Barry and Jay that our sister could be alive only to find out it was a dead end…?" I began to say point out causing Logan quiet remembering that particular event "Exactly...and besides...we need proof…to make them to believe us," he explained.
"Proof Z… that's our bloody proof right there?" Logan cried out causing Luna to turn causing us to duck as we apparate to the trees.
"Are you crazy," I harshly hit him on the head waving a silent charm around us "You can't just blurt it out do you want us to get caught… " he sighed tiredly hiding behind the trees "Oh good… she didn't see us…look I know this is a lot to deal with right now….but, maybe we should ….go home and sleep take a break… it's been a long day for all of us," he explained in defeat.
"Well excuse me that I want the rest of our family to know that our sister is alive Z… we can't just keep this from them?"
"I know that but, you heard Barry he doesn't want to hear anything that involves our sister… he wants to move on and I don't blame him… it took a huge toll of all of us when we heard that our baby sister was killed last year during the death eaters rader attack… and the last thing that we need is … having Barry, Jay or Ariel… go into a deep depression again because of this…Kacey… Zoey… Caitlin and Hayley … we nearly scared our wives because of it … don't you remember what happen to us last time…we nearly lost our kid because of it… but, it's a bloody miracle we made it this far no way in hell I'm going down that road again..." I hissed at him.
Logan grew quiet knowing Zander's right "Okay… okay … you're right I just… I can't go to bed right now… not when she's right there… our baby sister Z… I knew in my gut that she made it out alive out there…I just knew it... and I know … I scared the crap out of my wife Zoe… who wouldn't … that's our sister Z… I can't just… let it go… I can't….I just can't…" he felt his legs gave out causing Zander to catch him as he sobbed into him "I can't … that's our sister…" he whispered.
Nobody's P.O.V.
"I know… I know…" Zander began to say holding Logan into a hug as they stayed there hidden behind the trees "But, we can't tell them yet… it's too hard especially for Ariel you know that...it took what… three years for Sam to … get our sister Ariel to open up even until this day he couldn't even get Ariel to open up about our family… our background… Sam doesn't know about us yet…" he explained.
Logan steadied his breath "Yeah I know… it's killing her… Ariel I mean… she's been hiding this secret for nearly 3 years… maybe more…"
"Yeah...I know…look it's pretty late right now… I know we were supposed to keep a look out over Sam and the pack patrols and everything but, it's a lot to take in everything about our sister ya know…"
Logan nodded at this "Yeah … maybe you're right… I just… I can't wrap around my head over the fact that she's alive… Z…"
"That makes two of us little bro … look let's take a break for tonight and we'll double patrols tomorrow … it's not like she's going anywhere from what you told me she said she's going to the zoo right?"
"Yeah she is the … Woodland Park Zoo… which is like 2 ½ hours from here,"
"I know I been there before … how about we … get a good night rest and meet up here in the morning … we'll even go in disguise… follow her… I want to be 100% positive over this,"
Logan nodded at this knowing he's right "Yeah your right… we'll talk more about this tomorrow," he whispered and apparated with a silent 'pop' heading home not realizing that Luna saw them with a mysterious smile but, kept quiet for now.
The next morning late in Saturday—Hermione groaned hearing the alarm setting off around 6:30 in the morning as she got up from bed rubbing her eyes seeing the sun setting up remembering that she's flee away from England to live in a small town Forks, Washington where our family is currently living—her two brothers Zander and Logan with their families along with Ariel, her older sister and the twins Elias and Evie. Hermione stretched her arms, got out of bed and looked at the window, she didn't get a chance to stop to see the scene but, it was beautiful until she heard Teddy whimpering that snap out of her thoughts and rushed over to her godson Teddy.
Teddy whimpered causing Hermione to pick him up "Teddy bear wake up… it's just a dream baby... " she began to say that left him to open his eyes blinking his tears causing her heart to break "Teddy bear what's the matter?" she explained.
Teddy sniffed at this "It's that bad lady again…"
Hermione frowned at this "What bad lady Teddy what did she look like?"
[no answer]...
"Teddy…"
Teddy sniffed "She*hiccups* she had black hair*hiccups*...curly hair…"
"Curly hair…"
"Yeah… and she wore*hiccups* all black… her laugh…*hiccups* it was evil… she looked like granny*hiccups*….I thought it was granny but, it's not... called her a blood traitor …*hiccups* called me a weakling...*hiccups* and she said that I don't deserve to be alive..."
Hermione face drained hearing the description feeling her magic rising in anger 'Bellatrix Lestrange…' she thought bitterly as she rushed over carrying Teddy "Listen to me Teddybear that bad lady …can't hurt you anymore… she's dead… Granny Molly killed her for killing your mum?" she explained.
Teddy whimpered "That bad lady killed my mommy…*hiccups* why does she look like my granny"
"Yes...she did but, granny Molly killed her because they were good friends… she can't hurt you anymore Teddy…" Hermione began to say pausing for a moment "Well… apparently she's … related to your granny.. that's… her sister… which means that's your aunt…" she explained.
Teddy whimpered hiding his face against Hermione shoulder "Momma… I don't like her *hiccups* she kept *hiccups* saying that *hiccups* she'll kill you momma ….auntie Lulu and uncle Neville *hiccups* and leave me alone don't leave me momma..."
"What…"
"She*hiccups* she *hiccups* kept laughing… *hiccups* saying that she's coming to get you… "
"Oh Teddy…shhhh it's okay… it's okay..." Hermione held her baby boy Teddy who started to cry into her arms bouncing him by trying to calm him down "That's never going to happen baby… it's impossible… your papa Harry made sure of it," she explained.
"Re-really…"
"Yes… really she can't hurt you Teddy I won't let her…" Hermione bouncing her baby boy Teddy to calm him down wiping his tears " It was only a dream she won't hurt you okay… now come on dry those tears since today is a big day we're going to have so much fun why don't we get ready … we're going to the zoo I bet that would make you feel better after we drop off the puppies to the dare care okay," she explained.
Teddy sniffed wiping his tears "Okay," he murmured.
Hermione sat down on the bed holding Teddy steadying him "Teddy bear I know it's scary… to see that bad lady… but, you can change your dream into a happy dream... " she explained.
"I can…"
"Yes you can it's your dream baby you can create whatever you want like… if you want to see papa Harry I bet he would love to visit you…"
Teddy sniffed at this "I would really like that… I miss papa Harry momma,"
"I know baby… I miss him too and everyone else that we lost…"
"I also miss my granny…" Teddy whimpered hiding his face "And my mommy… my daddy…" he muffled trying not to cry but, it didn't seem to calm down.
"I miss them too… more than you know… but, you know what Teddy … I'm still here… auntie Luna is here and uncle Neville we'll be your extended mommy and daddy okay,"
"Re—really?"
"Yeah if that's what you want?"
"I-I would like that a lot momma…"
"Me too come here…" Hermione began to say holding Teddy close into a hug not noticing that Neville and Luna woke up a few minutes later watching "Everything is going to be okay Teddy bear I promise…" she murmured.
"Hey…everything alright" Neville spoke up causing Hermione and Teddy to turn to see them.
"Hey…" Hermione murmured.
"What happen … we heard screaming and rushed over here thinking something's wrong," Luna whispered.
Hermione sighed tiredly "No one got hurt physically but, apparently Teddy had a nightmare?"
"Nightmare...about what?"
Hermione bit her bottom lip nervously and mouth 'Bellatrix Lestrange,' causing Luna and Neville to drain at this causing her to nod at this noticing their expression.
"What … how did he—" Neville drifted off but, was cut off by Hermione.
"Apparently she looked like Andromeda ...considering their sisters," Hermione murmured.
"Bloody hell...I didn't even realize they look alike…"
"I didn't either… until Teddy told me what happen… "
"Poor kid…and … what happened… in his nightmare" Neville murmured.
"I'll tell you guys in a bit… right now… I need to get to calm him down first…she really terrified him that got him thinking that we're going to leave him alone" Hermione murmured.
"That won't ever happen since she's dead she can't come back…" Luna began to say steadying her breathing "And we understand... we'll start getting ready so we can go to the zoo maybe by then he'll calm down…" she whispered.
"I hope so... " Hermione began to say bounding Teddy to calm him down "Even after all this time… she still has her way to traumatized children … at this age," she whispered.
"Yeah… I can't even imagine… how tramalizing that he must feel… poor Teddy…" Luna whispered.
"Don't worry Mione we'll make sure today will be a good day for him maybe… we can bring the puppies with us to the zoo that might help?" Neville offered at this.
"You know what I think that's actually good idea Teddy … I'm still not sure if we can bring pets to the zoo but, it's the only plan we got… hopefully they'll let us… bring our pets...to the zoo…" Hermione murmured.
After a few minutes Hermione took Teddy a bubble bath which seemed to calm him down a little since he loves bubble baths, then once he was dried off he was now wearing fresh clothes. He's wearing an old jersey of his godfather Harry Potter Quidditch Jersey 07 and shrunk it into a kid's size with blue jeans and converse shoes while Hermione had a black top off the shoulder, then dark blue jeans, then puma shoes with her hair in two separate braids and had a natural look not too much makeup. Once she was done she went downstairs with Teddy to make breakfast for everyone.
Hermione and Teddy went inside the kitchen to look inside the fridge they didn't buy a lot of food but, they have some stuff to eat and made a sandwich again since they didn't get a chance to go grocery shopping yesterday since they were too tired to go shopping so she made a reminder to herself to buy more groceries after the zoo and if they have time they can go the park again. She noticed the puppies 'Prongs, Padfoot, TigerLily and Mooney' were now awake wagging their tails.
"Hey Prongs, Padfoot, Tiger Lily, Mooney are you excited to go the zoo," Teddy murmured.
The puppies barked happily wagging their tails.
Teddy giggled "Me too momma said that you could come with us…so you have to be extra, extra good okay puppies," he whispered.
The puppies barked happily agreeing.
"Okay here's your breakfast Prongs, Padfoot, Tiger Lily and baby Mooney we have a long day today after we're done with breakfast we're heading to the zoo once I figured out how to bring you guys without the muggles finding out hmm?" Hermione murmured.
"Momma?"
"Yes Teddy?"
"How are we going to bring the puppies?"
Hermione pondered for a moment grabbing a puppy bag then a sly grin was shown upon her lips "I think I might have an idea…" she began to say muttered under her breath with a spell "There now there's an undetected extended charm, smaller in the outside but, it's much bigger inside you can play with the puppies inside as much as you want. There's a yard for the puppies to play in and we can even extend our family of more magical creatures inside what do you think Teddy bear?" she explained.
Teddy looked at his godmother with an awe look "Can we really momma?" he asked.
"Yes I believe we can," Hermione grinned "Don't worry Teddy bear we won't leave them behind not in this family… if you want we can buy more puppies if that's what you want?" she explained.
"I would really like that momma," Teddy beamed at this reaching his small arms for Hermione to pick him up "Thank you momma for the puppies," he murmured.
"Your welcome baby… I won't let that bad lady hurt you… and we're going to teach the puppies to protect us so they can be part of our family as much as we're in their mini family okay," Hermione explained.
"I love you momma," Teddy murmured.
"And I love you too Teddy bear and I'm not going to let anyone hurt you they would have to go through your auntie Luna, uncle Neville and I first to do that luv…" Hermione explained.
Teddy laid his head on Hermione's shoulder feeling that comfort aura "Momma?"
"Yes baby?"
"What kind of zoo are we going too?"
"Well it has all sorts of animals it has lions, tigers, bears, even panda bears, then there's giraffe's, hippos, everything really,"
"Even a bird,"
Hermione giggled "Yes, even a bird Teddy bear,"
"Like an owl momma?"
"Yes they have owls,"
"What about… umm… a wolf?"
"A werewolf… " Hermione began to say pretending to think causing Teddy to look up "Not sure if they have a werewolf but, if they do… then yes they probably have one," she explained.
"Is it a same werewolf like my daddy?" Teddy asked.
"No… this is a very different werewolf… this is pure wolf… so…but, I'm sure it will be fine come on let's have some breakfast okay," Hermione offered.
"Okay…" Teddy began to say looking at the fridge "Momma?"
"Yes Teddy?"
"Can I have another sandwich?"
"Of course baby what kind of sandwich do you want?"
"Umm…" Teddy began to say looking around "I would like a PB&J sandwich please," he explained.
"Of course Teddy bear," Hermione explained making the sandwich for the both of them "Here you go,"
"Thank you momma," Teddy murmured.
While Hermione and Teddy were eating their PB&J sandwiches Neville came back all ready to go while Luna was still getting ready to leave soon.
"Good morning Teddy, good morning Mione," Neville explained.
"Good morning Neville," Hermione explained.
"Morning uncle Nev," Teddy murmured.
"How is he feeling today?" Neville murmured.
"He's a little better aren't you Teddy," Hermione murmured.
"That's good," Neville murmured ruffled Teddy's hair causing him to giggle and nodded at this "We need to make sure nothing happens to this kid,"
"I agree," Hermione agreed with a nod.
Teddy nodded at this "Momma said that we can bring the puppies without the muggles finding out?" he perked up.
Neville raised his eyebrow at Hermione who explained the undetected extended charm inside her puppy bag where the puppies will play at the yard inside "Oh really ….so the puppies can go with us?" he explained.
"Mhmm I'm also thinking of adding more magical creatures inside if possible… just the ones that … we'll end up saving from poachers or use them as a pet," Hermione explained.
"I think Lulu would love that," Neville explained as his lips twitched in amusement,"
"What would I love Neville?" Luna announced skipping along downstairs to the kitchen "Good morning Mia good morning Teddy I see you guys are ready to go huh?" she explained.
"I was just telling Neville that we're going to bring the puppies since I use an undetected extended charm inside this puppy bag to bring them along and save the magical creatures from poachers what do you think Lulu," Hermione explained.
"Really," Luna eyes light up "That would be very helpful Mia since we need all the help we can get," she explained.
"Yes, yes we do and I thought so too," Hermione began to say making extra sandwiches ham & cheese for Neville and Luna "Ham and cheese sandwiches?" she offered.
"Yes please," Neville and Luna explained.
Hermione made the ham & cheese sandwich in one swoop and they were done under 4.5 seconds "Here you go guys,"
"Thanks Mione," Neville and Luna answered.
They were eating their sandwiches in silence until Neville spoke up in the silence "So Mione…" after he swallowed his sandwich "What's the plan for today?" he explained.
"Well since the zoo doesn't open until 8:30 in the morning we can get some groceries for snacks for the trip and I was hoping to extend my digital camera?" Hermione explained.
"Camera?" Neville and Luna both said looking all confuse.
"Yes, my digital camera," Hermione began to say showing her digital professional camera "I want to extend the lens into bigger ones since it's becoming one of my hobbies to take pictures like this," she explained.
"Really?" Neville looked surprised "I didn't know you like to take pictures Mione," he explained.
"You never asked me,"
Neville stared at her for a moment then nodded to himself "True," he stated finishing his ham and cheese sandwich "So grocery shopping and the zoo today then?" he explained.
"And buy a digital camera and a video camera too," Hermione explained.
"Sounds fun since we have a plenty of things to do right," Luna explained.
"Yes and maybe instead of the park we can take Teddy to the beach it's not far from where we live apparently it's in this reservation called La Push and there's a beach there called 'first beach' … there's a slight chance I might see my sister there," Hermione explained.
"Your older sister right," Neville explained.
"Yeah her name is Aries but, we call her Ariel I always been a little envy over her hair she has better hair than I do," Hermione explained.
"Mione you have beautiful hair," Luna argued back.
"True… but, I always liked her hair better it's more straighten while mine is curls," Hermione pointed out.
"Well I can't wait to meet your older sister Ariel you barely talk about your family Mione and your hair is completely fine," Neville pointed out.
"Me either… and well there's not much for me to talk about...since we were too busy in battle winning the war," Hermione murmured causing Neville and Luna in silence.
"True…" Luna began to say pausing for a moment "Do you think you can do the same with my bag Mia?" she explained.
"Sure give me your bag," Hermione offered.
"Here you go,"
Hermione however muttered under her breath and added an Undetectable Extension Charm "There you go you can add as many things inside where you won't feel the bag being heavy it would be a light as a feather," she explained.
"Brilliant as always come on I think it's time to leave huh do you mind if you—?" Neville was cut off by Hermione who pass his backup with the same Undetectable Extension Charm "Thanks Mione," he blushed at this.
"Your welcome guys and oh yes we should get going," Hermione began to say grabbing the puppies leashes "Okay puppies now I want you to be good because we can't have the muggles finding out that you're inside my bag… it's perfectly safe… Lulu why don't you show them how it's done since I haven't got inside yet," she explained.
"Of course," Luna nodded at this laying down the luggage, holding the puppies carefully heading inside as they both wait for her to say something.
"How does it look inside Lulu?" Hermione asked.
Luna gave a dream smile "It's perfect Mia I think this is one of your brilliant and best ideas that you had in all of all history," she explained.
"Brilliant," Hermione beamed at this finishing her breakfast "Now since it's still early we should go to the grocery now, buy the camera, video camera and head to the zoo under say 2 ½ hours tops what do you think?" she explained.
"Sure sounds like fun let's go," Neville announced.
"Off we go then," Hermione announced as they headed out locked the doors, the windows everything making sure it's secured not wanting to be robbed was the last thing she needed in her new home not realizing that she'll be followed by her two older brothers Zander and Logan in different disguises.
"Lulu?" Neville asked.
"Yes Nev?"
"Are you okay inside?"
"Yes, just let me know when we're at the zoo because I don't want to miss seeing the animals? I'm curious what muggles have in the zoo?"
"Me and you both,"
"We're going to the grocery store first do you want to come out?"
"Yes please let me just let the puppies play in the yard since it's pretty big and I put a fence around it so they won't run away,"
"Good idea Lulu,"
"Alright I think it's good enough for the puppies Mooney, Padfoot, Prongs, Tiger Lily you guys can play here," Luna began to say muttering a spell for the puppies to play there's a obstacle course for them to play with all sorts of toys "There now you guys will be busy playing but, once we go to the zoo I think you'll be okay," she explained.
The puppies barked happily licking Luna as a thank you.
"Your welcome puppies we'll be back soon you guys have fun," Luna beamed at this patting the puppies on the head softly then headed upstairs "Okay I'm ready to go outside now," she explained.
"Us too come on the grocery store awaits and I want to buy the really professionals cameras and video cameras for this trip,"
"You really like taking pictures huh Mione,"
"Yes, yes I do you guys want to look at the pictures that I took,"
"Sure I'm a bit curious what it looks like," Luna announced as she and Neville looked at the camera looking at the pictures "Wow Mia this is really good," she explained.
"You think so?"
"Absolutely I had no idea you took these pictures oh look there's Ronald… and Harry… with the rest of the Weasley's… there's Draco… Blaise… Theo… Pansy… Ginny… you took everyone's pictures even Nev … then there's me and my daddy? When was this Mia?"
"Bill and Fleur's wedding before everything became dangerous in the war,"
"Bloody hell...how did you have the time take pictures?"
"I'm pretty quick when I want to be and once I was done… I took a break but, that was before we got attacked do you remember,"
"Yes, I remember it was horrible…I was worried about daddy… I remember when I heard that he got hurt…" Luna murmured.
"And I managed to help him out Lulu,"
"And I appreciate that Mia… I just wish I was quick enough to save him…" Luna was teared up causing Neville to hold his fiancee's hand in comfort which she squeeze back "I bet my daddy would want me to be happy," she whispered.
"I think they all would Lulu," Neville whispered.
Luna wiped her tears "I miss him Nev… " she whispered.
"I know I miss my Gran too…" Neville whispered.
Hermione held her breath "You know… since we're talking about the ones we care about… I have something to tell you guys…" she announced.
"Oh and what's that Mione?"
"Well… you know how everyone is buried in England and everything…?"
"Yeah…"
"Well… I wasn't 100% sure if it's possible but, I called some friends well mostly my cousins to be honest and they can transfer our friends and families burials here… in Forks?"
"In Forks?"
"Yes?"
"They can transfer their burials in Forks?"
"Yes…."
"Even my Gran...and my parents?"
"Yes…"
"And my daddy and my mum?"
"Yes…"
"Even the Weasley's and the rest of our friends who were killed … despite how they're buried in the same burials as our friends?"
"Yes…"
"How long did you … plan this?"
"For awhile … I was just waiting for the right time to talk to you guys about it and I was wondering what you think about the whole thing?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean it's your family Nev… I wasn't going to transfer them without both your permissions and I know you guys have a family plot due to your family but, I rather visit them close to home instead of going back to England it would be less than a hassle that way don't you think?"
Neville and Luna looked at each other with a silent look then back at Hermione "Do it,"
"Excuse me?"
"You can transfer them here… "
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah I want to visit my daddy… and I bet he would love this place...it does remind me of home…"
"Nev… what about you?"
"I say go for it… I don't mind at all I just… think … even if we have a family plot where they're going to be buried I rather have my parents and my Gran close to me … I know I have other relatives but, I was never close to them so…."
"Are you guys sure?"
"Yes we're positive go ask your friend and don't forget to transfer our friends like the Weasley's I bet they would love this place I know they have a private burial but, I think Mr. Weasley would be very curious about the muggle town don't you think?"
Hermione sighed in relief "I'm glad to hear that …and I think he would too since he's a little bit obsessed with muggles gadgets" she began to say pressing a few buttons on her cell phone, it didn't take long to get a reply back "My friend Thena she said the burials will arrive 72 hours from now," she explained.
"That quick?"
"Yes I gave the coordinates where their buried at and she's the only one who knows that we're alive… she been keeping tabs about the Wizarding World from the past six years… and she's the only person I trust inside my family… so…"
"Is she your cousin?"
"Family friend we grew up together… she's one of my old neighbors back in Bella Vista the old neighborhood that we been staying hidden from the Wizarding World who thinks we're all dead,"
"Oh...I see…"
"Yeah it's not just a muggle neighborhood Nev… there's some families who are magical… like Athena for example she's from Japan but, she's my friend best friend actually and I'm just glad I wasn't alone in this ya know,"
"That's great news Mione I'm glad that you stayed in touch with some of your neighbors or she's just it?"
"Just Athena …we pretty much grew up together,"
"That's good I can't wait to meet her,"
"Me either I think you guys are going to get along quite well Luna I can guarantee that,"
Luna beamed at this "And I can't wait to meet her either Mia,"
"Oh look we're here,"
"At the zoo?"
"No the grocery store don't you remember Nev we wanted to get some snacks on the way,"
"Oh yeah," Neville chuckled with a half smile "Well let's go inside then,"
"Come on Teddy bear we're getting some snacks make sure you hold the bag carefully okay," Luna instructed him softly.
"I'll be careful auntie Luna," Teddy beamed holding the bag carefully as he held Luna's hand.
"Brilliant," Luna beamed at this "Let's head inside since it's still early for the zoo to open," she pointed at the store in front of us which seemed perfect away from the town line.
"Sure," Hermione murmured as she turned right and parked not too far from the entrance way as they grabbed their things, the stroller to put Teddy inside as they went to grab a few snacks for their picnic later that day where they bumped into a police officer.
"Oh excuse me miss," Charlie Swan furiously apologize to Hermione.
"That's alright it was my fault chief…" Hermione murmured.
Charlie blinked his eyes owlish then shrugged his head heading to work wondering who was the new girl but, shook his head probably a tourist passing by.
'Hmm… never seen her before… must be passing by,' Charlie thought to himself driving to work with a pack lunch.
"Is he gone…?" Hermione began to say causing Neville and Luna to nod at this while Teddy was seated inside the cart "Oh good that's good last thing we need be 'the big talk' in this town… " she explained.
"I think it's a little too late for that Mione?" Neville asked.
