Own Nothing.

Five.


She had closed the door behind her, smiling a stupid grin she's always seen on Harry's face when ever he had came back from a date with Ginny. Locking the door behind her, she walked into the kitchen to make herself a cup of tea. She saw Teddy's half eaten extra large pizza box still on the counter. Sighing she put it in the fridge and sat down to wait for her tea to be ready. She picked up Teddy's homework and glanced over it. He finished it and it looked like it would be a B.

Sighing she got up to pour her tea, she was going upstairs and read a good book and then go to bed. She wasn't going to end this wonderful night with thinking about the Ministry letter. The one sending her on her next mission, walking upstairs she checked up on Teddy to see him rolled on his side away from her, asleep. Smiling, she went to her room, opening the door, she noticed that her letter was gone. The one that was on her bed.

Setting her tea down on her nightstand she bent down to look around the bed, not seeing it. She looked on her desk and in her night stand draws and couldn't find it. Sitting up, she sighed before looking at her door. "Oh, Teddy." Standing up she walked back to his room. She stood in his doorways, listening to his breathing. "I'm a trained professional Teddy, I can tell when your faking." She stated, opening his door, she stepped into his room. "Teddy, I know you're awake."

She move to sit on his bed, placing a hand on his shoulder, but he moved it away. "Teddy, I know that you have the letter." She whispered.

"Why?" He asked from underneath his covers.

"Why what Teddy?" She asked, pulling his covers away from his face to see that he had cried earlier. "Teddy."

"Why do you have to leave again, I thought that when you met Mr. Jackson that you wouldn't go anymore. But then I saw the letter." His voice trailed off.

"Teddy, just because I found someone that I like doesn't mean I can just up and quit my job, I have to have a reason."

He sat up with a jerk, a glare in her direction. "Am I not reason enough mum? Is Mr. Jackson or Maria, are they not reason enough? Why can't you just give up the past?"

"Teddy isn't that easy! There are people out there who want you and me dead." Hermione cried out. She stopped herself for yelling more, covering her mouth as tears begin to fall. She reached over to his night stand and opened the first draw, pulling out the letter. Her fingers shaking, she unfolded it, clearing her throat, she read out loud.

"Dear Ms. Granger,

We are adhere to inform you of your next mission, The several Death Eaters still remain on the loose, it is of our discretion to ask that you capture then and eliminate them but any means necessary."

Ministry of Magic."

"See Teddy, it's just a routine job. I go, find them and then dispose of them."

"But Mum you know that they have had it out for you ever since you brought down Voldemort"

"Teddy, stop worrying. I'll be fine, and Besides Uncle Harry will be with me and so will Neville." Hermione tried to reassure him.

"I find that only half reassuring. " He replied, pulling the covers over his head.

Hermione sighed, knowing that she wasn't going to win this one, stood up and head out of the room. She stopped by his door, looking down at his packed bags. "Why are your bags packed Teddy?" She asked, looking back at her son.

He glanced over his shoulder before turning back over. "Because the full moon is in two days and Uncle Bill is picking me up to stay with him. Remember, once a month."

"Okay, I've been so busy." She whispered, as the memory came back to her.

"Mum." Teddy called after her, before she could close the door, she opened it more and waited for him. "I'm really happy that you found Mr. Jackson, but don't let your work ruin this for you. "

"I don't plan on letting it Teddy. I promise." She walked back over to him and kissed him on the head. "I'll make you your favorite breakfast in the morning to give you strength. Love you."

"Love you to Mum. Be safe." He covered his head completely to try to sleep and she left the room.

She walked back to her's and set on her bed, sighing. She threw the letter in the trash been, wishing for it to catch on fire. "Of course he would be upset Hermione, he's thirteen. He knows when something is wrong." She laid back against her pillows, covering her eyes with one of her forearms. She heard a beeping noise and knew it was her phone.

She dug into her pockets and pulled out a little flip phone that she had bought when they moved to the city. She got one for Teddy to, knowing that he would make friends.

"Did you enjoy your date with dad?" Hermione read, smiling, it was Maria's number.

"Yes, your father was quite the gentleman, would like to go out more with him." Hermione smiled as she sent it. She waited a few minutes for the reply.

"Sweet! I'll let him know."

Hermione laughed lightly before texting back. "Goodnight Alan."

"...'Night Hermione." She smirked, knowing that she had caught him. Turning off her phone she got up to change into her pj's, brushed her teeth and then went to bed. She didn't realize how tired she was until she was under the covers, she easily fell asleep. Her last thought, before becoming unconscious was that she didn't even get to drink her tea.
