Hey guys! I would just like to say thank you to everyone that has followed or favourited this story, it really means a lot me. Also I would like to thank grey chemistry for bringing the POV thing to my attention, I had the POV's separated on my word doc but something happened when I uploaded and it all kinda got jumbled into one. I will be going back to correct that though, but for now here's the next chapter! :D

Disclaimer: Seriously, whose idea was this, we all know I own none of it.

Chapter 5

It was over. After what felt like years, he was gone. The finality of it had only just hit her. Strange as it was, the war had ended 2 years ago, yet it was only hitting her now. She wasn't surprised though. Everyone was dealing with it in their own way. Harry had locked himself away in Grimmuld Place after the funerals. Ginny went away and began playing professional Quidditch- after being forced (by Molly) to finish off her NEWTs. Ron however, had surprised her the most, he went on to work at the shop. Once it became clear that George was not getting better any time soon, Ron stepped up and took over managing the shop.

They didn't work out, her and Ron. He was the one who had ended it. But she knew it was for the best. The war had changed her, quite fundamentally. All the things she had wanted a year ago now seem completely silly to her. She had wanted Ron, but now she realised just how badly that would have ended. She was glad for the way things ended. They were still friends and she couldn't have asked for anything more.

Another thing she wanted before all this began, was to go into Magical Law Enforcement. Only now the mere thought of looking at another dark wizard brought chills down to her very bones. She was now currently a healer. She had gone back to Hogwarts to finish her NEWTs, not many people had. But she felt that she had to. It didn't take her very long, just 6 months with the help of McGonagall.

Harry and Ginny had gotten back together. For that she was glad, for a moment it seemed as if they had drifted apart. However once Harry had gotten over the emotional trauma (which took him 6 months) he went after Ginny. She still plays, but now as captain and chaser for the Holy Head Harpies. She, like Hermione had rushed through her NEWTs, only doing it because her mother would throw a fit if she didn't.

As she set pondering over all the changes her life had taken, her fire suddenly roared to life and a tiny head popped out. Quickly jumping up she rushed over to see what the matter could be.

"Hey Mione, sorry to bother you, I know it's your day off." Said Ginny, her head poking out the fireplace, with an apologetic smile on her face.

"Gin, hey. No that's okay, I was just thinking- again." Hermione replied with a small smile.

"Darling you really should get out more, it's not healthy, spending all your free time curled up on a couch."

"Gin we've been over this before. I don't spend all my free time like that, half of it is spent with you and Harry."

"Oh good lord! There is no getting through to you. Listen, why I called. Could you watch Teddy for me please? Just for a few hours. I have practice and Harry isn't home yet, its weird today was just supposed to be a training mission. Anyway his not home yet, would you mind terribly?" Ginny asked, flashing her dazzling smile.

"Sure, I don't mind at all. You know I love having Teddy over." Hermione replied with a laugh.

"Oh you are a star Hermione! Love you! Okay I'll pop by on my way out, thank you so much Mione!" Ginny called as she began pulling out of the fireplace.

Hermione glanced around the room as she stood up from her spot on the floor. Quickly getting all the way up she began clearing up her living room. Teddy was an incredibly charming little boy, however he had quite the tendency to destroy and or eat anything he found interesting and within his reach. Hermione had learnt that the hard way, after she had left some scented candles on her coffee table when Teddy was around, she had went to get him some milk and upon returning her precious vanilla and cinnamon candles were chewed up, spat out and then spread artistically over her carpet.

After making sure that everything; sparkly, colourful or scented would be out of the two year olds reach, she made her way over to her little kitchen. After fishing around her freezer she pulled out a box of frozen pizza and left it on the counter to defrost. That was another thing she picked up, having to occasionally babysit the boy, he could be easily bribed- as long as there was some sort of junk food in it for him. Teddy livid with his grandmother and on weekends, with Harry and Ginny. With both Andromeda and Ginny being from wizarding families, muggle delicacies such as pizza, burgers and hot dogs were a rarity for the little boy. That just made Hermione's life all the more easier, the kid would do anything for a bit of that junk.

Not long after she had finished clearing up the kitchen, the sound of the floo was heard. Ginny had brought Teddy. Quickly rushing out into the living room, Hermione made her way over to the pair.

"Aunty Mione!" Teddy cried out in excitement, as he saw Hermione entering.

"Hey Teddy!" she replied, her voice equally enthusiastic with a big smile on her face.

"Thanks again Mione." Ginny said as she put aside a bag full of Teddy's things.

"Always a pleasure Gin." Hermione replied with a smile as she lifted Teddy into her arms.

With a quick kiss for Teddy and light hug to Hermione, Ginny apperated away with a loud pop.

"So, what can we do today Aunty Mione?" Teddy asked after a while, turning himself around in her arms.

"I don't know Ted, what would you like to do?"

"Could you take me to the park?" he asked, giving her the most adorable puppy dog eyes.

There was no way she could say no to that face.

"Sure darling, that would be lovely, why don't you wait here while I go put on some boots and get my coat." she said to him, putting him down on the couch.

….

The day at the park went wonderfully, after 2 hours of running around and playing on every single jungle gym, Hermione took Teddy to get an ice cream. Having walked all the way from her flat, since the park was in muggle London, and having had to walk all the way back Teddy was quite exhausted when they had returned home. It was always a laugh, walking with Teddy through muggle London. You see muggles were not exactly accustomed to seeing 2 year olds with bright blue hair sticking up in all directions- the type that looked as if he had stuck his fingers into an electric socket. Having everyone stare at her as she walked home- they were all probably questioning her sanity, after all what mother would dye her toddlers hair such a colour- was oddly entertaining for Hermione.

Once they had returned home, Hermione plonked Teddy in front of the telly before heading into the kitchen to warm the pizza. It wasn't long after they had finished off eating that Ginny arrived to pick him up.

Sighing softly Hermione quickly changed into her favourite pj's before taking a seat in front of the telly. Fully intending to spend the rest of the evening relaxing, she put her feet up on an ottoman and leaned back. Her peace however was short lived.

"Healer Granger, sorry to disturb you but there's been an emergency. Healer Jackson is in on a serious case and asked us to call you." The secretary of St Mango's called to her hurriedly, her face having appeared in the fire place

"Alright Pippy I'm on my way, call up Dean he should be there. Tell him to start damage control I'll be there in 5 minutes." She yelled, as she rushed into her room and began stripping off her pj's and getting into clothes.

True to her word, in 5 minutes time Hermione had appeared and was immediately met by Stacy, her nurse.

"Patient is an Auror, level one, was meant to be a training mission but they got attacked by a bunch of rouge death eaters. We managed to get him stable but there's a lot of internal bleeding." Stacy rattled off as they moved to the theatre.

"Hermione!" Stacy shouted before she could walk in, "Dean said to tell you before you went in, the patient- its Draco Malfoy."

Okay that's it for now. I know some of you might be wondering why I've completely skipped over the war year completely, but don't worry it will come up, just in a different sort of way. Anyhoo… hope you've enjoyed this, if not let me know. I am open to suggestions. Oh and one more thing before I go. Updates will be done weekly. So yes the next chappy will be brought to you next Sunday. Until then, take care
