Monica Wilkins didn't normally answer the door for solicitors, but the young woman on her doorstep looked so nervous, lost, and... familiar. She had an uncontrollable urge to give the girl a comforting hug, usher her into the house and give her a cup of tea. Shaking her head at the silly notion, she opened the door.

"May I help you?" she asked. Monica watched as the bushy-haired brunette, with tears in her eyes, shake her head and silently gird herself for something.

It didn't matter that her daughter had been gone for almost a year, that she'd forcibly hidden her family away, that she looked so thin and -oh so much- older; she would deal with all that later. All that mattered now was that Hermione was whole, healthy, and home, completing their family once more.
