Epilogue- Oh Star
Hermione laid back against the white and blue striped sun-lounger and laid her fat paperback book in her lap. She hiked her dark purple gypsy skirt further. She wanted to be a little brown before the holiday at least and so far this summer, the weather hadn't disappointed her. She was getting a lovely tan...
"Daddy no, don't, Daddy!" the shrill cry of a small child rang out.
Hermione lowered down her black sunglasses and smiled.
A little brown haired girl was shrieking with delight as her father chased her around her garden, tossed her up into the air and finally, pinned her on the dry green grass and tickled her mercilessly.
Hermione smileturned to a grin. It would be nice to have a few days at home before they jetted out Greece to visit the extended family. The children were so excited about seeing Uncle Harry, Auntie Ginny, and their little friends, James, Albus and Lily. It's all the had been talking about since the owl arrived a month before. How they would eat lots and lots of ice-cream and swim everyday in the villa's private pool and how-
Cold water splashed down upon her head, soaking her through to the bone and she screamed loudly. The little girl and her father looked up from their game as Hermione whirled around and spotted a blonde haired little boy ducking behind the pink rose bushes.
"Phoenix Scorpius Malfoy, you are in huge trouble mister!" she thundered.
All that returned to her was a giggle and the bush wriggled.
Rolling her eyes, she pulled herself of the lounger and headed toward the bush.
THUD!
Hermione flew headlong along the grass, staining her skirt, as a little girl screamed with joy and began tickling her.
"Oh Star Rose Malfoy, you're such a monster!" she groaned.
"Daddy told me too!" Star laughed.
Phoenix shot past the girls with great gusto and threw a bucket of water straight at his father's face.
"Phoenix!" he roared.
Hermione smiled to herself. Damn these sunny days, she thought.
