Chapter Two: Billy's Niece Hermione Granger

Hermione's P.O.V.

Rebecca blinked her eyes confuse "Yes… do I know you?" she asked.

"It's me Hermione. Hermione Granger your cousin?" I told her as she widens her eyes in shock.

"Mia," Rebecca blinked her eyes and screamed happily "OMG what are you doing here!" she exclaimed hugging me to death "Come on in," she says opening the door for my friends, Teddy and I.

"This is for you I made some desserts for dinner tonight I hope you don't mind," Hermione bite my bottom lip nervously.

Rebecca stared at the cakes in awe "Is that," she was licking her lips peeking through the boxes "Is that chocolate cake with strawberry frosting feeling and Oreo crème chocolate pie by any chance?" she asked.

"Of course," I beamed at this.

"You're a life saver Mia we actually didn't had the time to make dessert," Rebecca rambled about this "Especially if you made them your cakes are to die for," she explained.

"Thanks Becca," I beamed happily.

Another girl peeked through the kitchen "Becca who's at the door?" who I assumed that's Rachael.

"Rae you never guess who's here it's Mia!" Rebecca exclaimed leaving Rachel widen her eyes in surprised as she rushed out of the kitchen to hug me.

"MIA!" Rachel exclaimed as she jumped me causing us to fall down while Ginny and Luna looked amuse holding Teddy "Oh my gosh I have miss you! What are you doing here!" she exclaimed.

"Nice to see you guys too," I laughed at this.

I saw my uncle Billy wheeled inside with my uncle Charlie in his police uniform "Dad you never guess who- "Rachel began to say as I saw my uncle Billy chuckled at this.

"Hey Mia come over here and give you old uncle a hug," my uncle Billy greeted me with open arms.

"Uncle Billy!" I exclaimed running to my uncle "I missed you," she whispered.

"And I have missed you little one," uncle Billy soften his eyes as I looked around for my god father uncle Charlie.

"Where's uncle Charlie?" I asked.

"He went to the bathroom so he won't be long," uncle Billy replied.

Ginny coughed "Mione! Aren't you forgetting something!" she says leaving me to blink my eyes.

"Oh right forgive my manners guys," I blushed slapping my forehead playfully "Uncle Billy, Rae, Becca these two are my two best friends Ginny Weasley in the left and Luna in the right then there's little cutie that Luna is holding my little brother Teddy," she explained turning to my friends "And guys this is my uncle Billy and my two cousins Rebecca and Rachel their twins," she quickly introduced them to one another.

"It's nice to meet you," Ginny and Luna smiled.

"It's nice to meet you guys too," Rachel and Rebecca smiled.

"I love your outfit," Luna comments on Rae's dress.

"Thank you," Rae smiled "And I love yours it's very stylish and it's really nice to meet you both Mia told me all about you guys from her letters," she explained.

"Good things I hope," Ginny smiled.

"Of course," Rebecca beamed leaving the girls to giggle which left Hermione to smile as her now found family are getting along so well.

"It's nice to meet you girls too," uncle Billy beamed shaking their hands "And this must be my nephew hey there kiddo I'm your uncle Billy," he grinned.

Teddy smiled "Hi?" he says cutely leaving my two cousins to coo over him.

"Oh my gosh he's so cute I didn't know aunt Emma had a baby Mia," Rebecca gushing over her new baby cousin.

I held my breath where Luna and Ginny gave me a hand squeeze "Actually Becca he's my godson the one I told you Teddy Lupin," I quickly explained the story as they widen their eyes and felt sad over the sudden loss on Teddy's family.

"That's so sad," Rachel cooed over her new found cousin "It's a good thing that aunty Emma and uncle Danny adopted him into your family Mia. He's so darn cute and I'm really sorry about your parents Mia. They were good people," she whispered.

"Thank you," I whispered in a sad smile "I miss them both a lot but, I'm sure they would want me to move on with my life,"

"Yeah I'm sure they would," Rebecca whispered giving me a hand squeeze "So your professor is his biologically father right?"

"That's right," I nodded at this since Teddy reached for me to carry him so Luna passed Teddy towards me as I sat him down on my lap "His mum is one of our good friends back in England. She's really sweet and she's also Sirius youngest niece," she explained.

"Sirius, he's Harry's godfather right? Sirius Black?" uncle Billy asked.

"Yes, I looked into his family tree uncle Billy it would seem he's your distant cousin once removed," I began to explain about the family tree he looked surprised but, then he was saddening when he learned about Sirius death that neither of us noticed that my godfather Charlie came back from the restroom.

"Hey what's all the com- "Charlie recently joined the group squinting his eyes at the new comers mostly at me "Little Mia is that you, the dangling thing," he asked.

I turned around to face my uncle Charlie "Uncle Charlie!" I greeted my godfather as I ran to my godfather who greeted me into a hug and spun me around hugging her godfather "I miss you uncle Charlie!" she beamed at this.

"I have miss you too it's not the same without you little one and wow look at you all grown up. Now I have to warn off guys off of you," Charlie jokily says.

"Uncle Charlie," Hermione protested causing her friends to giggle "Uncle Charlie these are my two best friends Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood then there's this little guy Teddy the newest family in our family," she explained.

"Nice to meet you girls," Charlie shook the girls hands.

"Nice to meet you too sir," Ginny and Luna smiled shaking his hand back.

Charlie then turned to his new found god son as Billy told him what happen to Teddy's son "Well hello there son. I'm your new uncle Charlie nice to meet you," he shakes his hand gently leaving Teddy to give a toothy smile.

"Hi," Teddy says leaving the girls to coo over him.

"He's going to have the girls wrapped around his little finger when he's grown up," Charlie laughed at this as they sat down on the dining table.

"Well now we know why dad wanted to add four extra plates for dinner," Rachel shook her head knowing her father as they grabbed their dinner from the stove "I'm so glad that you're here Mia it's been so reckless without you," she asked.

"It's good to be back Rae," Hermione beamed as she steadied Teddy on her lap while she went to get the high chair from her bag as her whole arm was inside the bag which left them to gape at her like a fish except Ginny and Luna as they already know this "Undetectable extension charm," she grinned as they mumbled under their breath know their cousin.

"That's brilliant do you think you can add that charm into our bags Mia," Rebecca perked up.

"Of course," Hermione waved her wand and added the charm over her cousin's bag as they grinned and thanked their favorite cousin.

"Brilliant I can't wait to go shopping and I can add as many bags inside whenever I want instead of getting Paul to carry them all," Rachel giggled at this.

"Paul? Whose Paul" Hermione titled her head all confuse.

"Oh he's my boyfriend and he's also one of Jake's friends," Rachel explained.

Hermione made an 'O' nodding to herself.

"Well I'm your only cousin besides my big brother Jayden and little Teddy here," Hermione giggled leaving the girls to nod at this.

"Hey dad did you know that Mia was coming over tonight or even in Forks to begin with?" Rebecca asked as she was setting the plates on the table while Rachel set the beef stew.

"Of course why do you think I wanted to add four extra plates for dinner," my uncle Billy beamed.

"I also learned this on the way," Charlie quickly added leaving my cousins Rachel and Rebecca to murmur in agreement knowing their father Billy when it comes with secrets.

"Why didn't you tell us we could've kept it a secret dad?" Rachel asked.

"And make me spoil the surprise and see the look on your faces not a chance besides I didn't know about it until Hermione called me this afternoon I figured it would be a good surprise," uncle Billy explained.

"No wonder you were grinning madly and to think I thought you won the lottery or something," Rachel murmured under her breath causing everyone to laugh.

"So how are you Mia we haven't heard from you in ages," Rebecca began to say starting to conversation "Not since 2 years ago. We were so worried about you and we haven't heard from Jayden either until he arrived to the funeral," she explained.

"He came to the funeral?" Hermione asked all confuse at this as the last time she saw her big brother Jayden was 2 years ago in Christmas.

"Yes although now that I think about it his eyes were hollow and his outfit looked like he came from a war battle," Rebecca seemed to remember the day at the funeral, she and her husband Solmon came to show their respects with her son Taichi 'Tai' who was a few weeks old at the time "He looked terrible now that I think about it," she whispered.

"Oh…" Hermione whispered "Well I don't know how much Jayden told you but, we just came from a war that ended 3 years ago…" she shortened the story down, finding the full story too stressful to repeat from what she and her two friends went through but, she did tell her everyone in the dinner table that they needed to know. She even showed her two uncles and cousins her scars, breaking down while Ginny and Luna held back tears as they didn't know that part of the story well Ginny didn't but, Luna did as she was also captured in Malfoy Manor but, hearing the story it broke Ginny's heart. Ginny held back a sob as Luna held Ginny into a hug while Teddy watched his adopted mom/godmother/sister sad as he felt sad over this reaching over to Hermione who laughed with tears falling down her cheeks kissing his forehead as he always seemed to calm her down. Her uncle Billy stroked them delicately and soothing her like any father would. Her two cousins were so shocked rushing over to their baby cousin to comfort her as any sisters would. Hermione even told them about the hunt for the horcruxes, her torture with Bellatrix in Malfoy Manor and the final battle, the loss of Ginny's and Luna's family including losing her two best friends along with Teddy's family and was finished within two hours.

The shack was silent except for the ticking of the clock and the noise was driving her spare. She knew her two uncles were digesting it all, trying to calm their breathings and emotions on their faces so his voice didn't crack but, she wanted him to say something. Everyone felt sadden as they watched Teddy eating his dinner making a mess with a grin on his face.

"I am so sorry that you had to go through that Mia," uncle Billy soften his eyes looking at Teddy "I can't blame you for not wanting to leave Teddy behind the little been through so much for someone so young I can't imagine how that feels…" he whispered.

I nodded at this "Yes well he's my godson uncle Billy I had to do what it means necessary to make sure he's safe and since Ginny and Luna lost their families it would make sense they came with me and I didn't want to leave them behind either so we all agreed to make a fresh start in my home town in Forks," she explained.

"Well I'm glad to hear that we did miss you sweetheart," Charlie smiled.

"I miss you guys too uncle Charlie," I told him.

"You're safe now though?" uncle Billy asked concerned that she had only returned to get away from the hunters "Are you being hunted?"

Hermione shook her head, a few curls flinging onto her face and she brushed them away.

"All Death Eaters are accounted for and the war is officially over. I'm here for good including Ginny, Luna and Teddy," Hermione smiled at this.

Billy grinned in response, reaching over to grab her hand "So where's my little cousin Jacob? I was hoping to see him today"

"Oh he's with his friends," Rachel replied.

"Awe," Hermione pouted "Does he know that I'm back?"

"Not yet… but, I'm pretty sure it won't take him very long to figure that out Mia,"

"Why do you say that?"

"Let's just say you're not the only ones who changed around here,"

"What does that mean?"

"Oh nothing," Rachel smiled "Does Jayden know about Andy's death yet since I know how close he was with her or that you're here in Forks?" she asked.

"Not yet… but, he does know that we're coming here we just came a week early then planned so he's up for a big surprise," I explained.

"I had a feeling he would so you're really staying here huh?" Rebecca asked.

"Yes, it's where my mum grew up and well actually-"I began to say swallowing my food "Ginny, Luna and I are staying here to finish our senior year and who knows maybe we'll go to college we won't know until then but, I'm hoping to stay here for a long time since I always considers this place home," I explained.

"Really?" Rachel perked up.

"Yes we figured this could be our brand new start being normal teenagers for once," Ginny answered.

"I'm so glad to hear that and I know that Jake is going to be so excited to see you guys especially you Mia," Rebecca perked up "He's been missing you like crazy even if Jayden was here he always asks how you were," he explained leaving me to laugh.

"So where are you guys living now?" Rebecca asked.

"Well actually we live by the border of the reservation if that's alright with you uncle Billy," I asked turning to my uncle.

"Of course that's okay the elders know about you and Jayden being a witch and a wizard as Jayden explained it to them when he was staying here to keep an eye out. He's also dating Leah Clearwater? You remember her don't you? Your god father Harry's oldest daughter and has a son name Seth," uncle Billy explained.

"Yeah I remember them. How is Leah? I really miss her and Seth too he was about Teddy's age when I last saw him," I told him.

"They're both good. I wasn't sure how much Jayden told you but, she and Sam used to be a couple almost 3 years," Rebecca began to say leaving Rachel to scowl leaving me to tilt my head confuse "Jayden will tell you Mia," she explained.

I nodded at this "So what do you guys usually do in La Push since it has been awhile since I been here," I asked.

"Not much most of the time we usually go to the beach in fact we're going there tomorrow why don't you, Teddy and the girls join us and you can meet Jake and his friends too and you can meet Leah there too," Rebecca offered.

"Sure we would love that," I beamed as I looked at my friends who agreed until we heard someone yawning and rubbing his eyes laying his head against my chest tired, after a long afternoon I don't blame him.

"It would seem someone's tired we should get him to bed soon Mione," Luna offered.

Teddy yawned and nuzzled his face against my shoulder leaving me to smile "It would seem so after all he had a long afternoon today," then I turned to my cousin "I should get him to bed soon but, we'll see you guys tomorrow at the beach," I explained.

"Perfect," Rachel beamed at this.

"I can't wait to meet and see everyone again," I beamed at this.

"Us either especially Jake and Jayden," Rebecca giggled "They're up for a wild ride especially at how you look so grown up now," she explained.

"Oh stop," I gushed at this "See you guys tomorrow," I replied waving at everyone once we bid everyone 'bye' where Ginny and Luna along with Teddy waving good bye following me to the car heading home.

"That was really fun Mione," Ginny beamed as she got shot gun so Luna was sitting next to Teddy in his car seat.

"It was wasn't it," I began to say backing up the car and turned left heading home "It's been such a long time since I been home," I whispered noticing it was now evening.

Ginny and Luna noticed my expression.

"You really miss it here huh Mione?" Luna asked.

"I did very much," I gave a small smile "I wasn't aware that Jayden moved down here in Forks but, I guess with the war he didn't had a choice… and as for my cousin Jake I can't wait see him again I really miss them," I explained.

"Do you think we have time to go grocery shopping Mione?" Ginny asked.

I looked at the time it was now 9:20 p.m. the store down here should be close maybe around 10 or 11 but, I wasn't sure "I think so since we don't have much food left," I told her after making a U-turn to the town of Forks which was 2 miles from the reservation.

"We have some food to eat unless you want bread and crackers for dinner then we probably might need to buy more food to eat and then tomorrow we can look for jobs," Ginny offered.

"Tomorrow?" I stated looking through my rear view mirror.

"Tomorrow," Ginny and Luna nodded in agreement.

I drove to the mini market which wasn't far from the reservation so it wasn't so bad, I grabbed Teddy covering him with a blanket from the cold who's now started to stir in his sleep while Ginny and Luna followed me close.

"So this is what a mini market looks like," Ginny mumbled under her breath while Luna was in awe as if it was an amazing thing in the world.

"You'd be surprise Gin come on stay close guys you can never know what could happen," I told her leaving the girls to nod. I grabbed the cart looking around inside. It looks the same from England but, a medium small if that makes sense.

"Evening ladies," the security guard nodded with his hat with a smile.

"Evening sir," the girls and I bid him the same.

"It does seem friendly enough don't you think?" Luna asked.

"Hmm yeah I suppose you can say that from what uncle Billy said most of the Forks residence would go grocery shopping here so it's a good thing we went right away from uncle Billy's because most mornings and afternoons it crawling with gossip folks from what uncle Charlie told me," I explained.

"Noisy comers is what it is," Ginny scowled.

I nodded at this "Yeah but, you get used to it I mean we did in school thanks to Lavender and Parvati," I scowled.

"Don't forgot Cho and the other girls in other houses," Luna pointed out.

I sighed at this "I'm so glad we're not there anymore I mean don't get me wrong I love that school more than anything it's like a second home to me but, it's not the same … it brings haunted memories… from the war," I whispered.

Ginny held my hand in comfort "I know you don't think we don't feel the same way Mione at least we're here to start over… for us and mostly for Teddy," she whispered.

"Speaking of brothers have you got a chance to talk to Jayden yet since we're here and all?" Ginny asked grabbing a few cereal boxes after she claimed she wants to try out some of them.

I sighed tiredly "I called him, texted him but, no answer I assumed he's at work or busy with his girlfriend Leah. I'm sure he'll call me when he gets a chance Gin," I told her looking at my cell phone while steadying Teddy into my arms in his baby pouch.

That's when Luna looked at the amount of potato chips "Mione what are these?" she asked grabbing a bag of chips.

"Those are potato chips I usually get the less fat kind you should try these Luna they're really good," I told her knowing Luna she would want to try different muggle foods.

"Really? Can we try each one?" Luna asked.

"Of course you know we have money for both muggle and the wizarding world," I whispered not wanting to be heard.

Ginny and Luna nodded at this "True," Ginny replied.

"Okay why don't we split up and we can meet by the ice cream isle over there," I offered.

"Sounds good," The girls agreed as we started to split up, I was with Teddy while Ginny and Luna went on the left side humming to myself.

[At the other side of the Forks-LaPush Reservation] …

Jayden's P.O.V.

I was watching over Sam and the pack well mostly with Leah as she was with Jared, her brother Seth and my cousin Jake from the north side then there's Sam with Paul and Embry while Quil was with Brady and Collin. Sometimes they would switch Leah would either be with Jared, my cousin Jake or her brother Seth mostly with Jake and Seth though because Leah insisted to be with her little brother not wanting to take any chances with the leeches as they like to call them. That's when I felt my cell phone went off in vibrate not wanting the pack to hear my phone. It's been going off all day but, I didn't have the time to check on it so I decided to pick it up this time.

"Hello?"

"Jayden,"

"Oh hey Becca what's up?"

"You never guess who's here in Forks,"

"Who?"

"A brunette girl with brown doe eyes and her name starts with an 'H' and happens to be your baby sister and our cousin ring any bells?"

It took me a couple of seconds what she meant by that causing me to choke on my water "Mia? There's no way… she'd-wait a minute did you just say Mia is here!"

"Yeah she said you knew about it,"

"Oh did she now?"

"Yeah she also said that they came a week early to come home?"

"Oh really?"

"Yes really?"

"Are you sure it's Mia I mean it could be a trick?"

"Jayden I think I would know who's my own cousin is. I'm not that stupid,"

"I never said you were Becca I just…been so long since I last saw her" I sighed as I noticed Leah's wolf form looked up with a raise eyebrow while I waved her off to keep watch as she made a huff.

"Hey Becca let me call you back huh?"

"But-" Rebecca was cut off by me hanging up on her when I saw Leah quickly changed behind the bushes while Jake, Seth and Jared went ahead without her.

"Was that Becca?" Leah asked.

"Yeah it was Becca," I sighed but, my eyes were conflicted.

"What is it Jay?"

"Nothing,"

Leah squinted her eyes as she looked at me for a moment turning my face to face her "I thought we promised no secrets from one another?" she whispered.

I leaned my forehead against hers "Sorry baby cakes. I just … Becca told me that Mia is back," I sighed stressfully.

"Isn't that a good thing? I thought she was at that fancy school of hers?"

"She was…there's just some things I can't tell you babe. It's part of law in the Wizarding World," I whispered "Mostly because … it was really dangerous back in England?"

"How dangerous are we talking about?"

"You know how wolves and vampires are enemies to one another?"

"Yeah…."

"Imagine that except much worst. Back in England it's a lot worst then that. it's one of the reasons why Mia hasn't been coming back here not because of school but, … with other things?"

"Like what?"

"I can't tell you I want too but, I'm not allowed just like you're not allowed to tell me things when it came with the pack,"

Leah bowed her head sadly "Jay I know you want to protect me and all but, I can handle it," she whispered.

I lifted her chin to look at me "I know you can it's one of the things that I fell in love with you babe but, this is something I have to do on my own and I'll tell you when I'm ready to talk okay,"

"Okay I should get back to patrol the guys are probably wondering what's taking me so long,"

"Go I'll keep watch from the trees and keep a look out,"

Leah smiled "I love you,"

"I love you too babycakes," I gave her a quick kiss as she quickly changed back as I gave another set of clothes by the same spot she changed from before and raced to meet up with the pack.

I apparated to the highest trees and called my cousin Rebecca back who's probably upset that I hung up on her.

"Hello?"

"Hey it's me sorry about that I had to talk to Leah about something,"

Rebecca sighed "You're lucky my cousin Jay-jay or else I would've whooped your ass for hanging up how are Leah and the pack doing so far?"

"Pretty much the same. No threats around the woods except Victoria but, we both know I already took care of her without their knowledge of it. One of the Cullens the one who can see the 'future' is probably confuse by the change of course,"

"You mean Alice yeah probably," Rachel quickly added in the background "Jake mentioned that Bella told him about their powers," she scowled.

I snorted "Don't remind me so what's this I hear about my sister Mia being in Forks?"

"Oh right she and her two friends are here in Forks we just had dinner with them a while back before she left to go home and brought Teddy with her,"

"No that's impossible she's supposed to come next week?!" I waved dramatically not wanting my two cousins to get suspicious but, I wouldn't be surprised if they found out.

"Well apparently she decided to come a week early and had dinner with us. Dad even knew about it since this afternoon since Mia called him to let him know and uncle Charlie as well before Rae and I found out until the doorbell rang he even told us to set four more plates so you can imagine our surprise when we saw our cousin at the door with her two friends Ginny and Luna with baby Teddy,"

I sighed leaning against the tree "Are you sure it's her… I mean I haven't heard or seen her since last Christmas and that was 2 ½ years ago…that was before I found out about how the Wizarding World was in chaos and then our parents died…I tried looking for her during the war and nothing through her friends but, they didn't know where they were. All I know is that Harry, Ron and Hermione were sent in a mission from Albus Dumbledore? What mission I have no idea… and now I'm just … conflicted… because after what happen to Mal … I didn't want to get my hopes up on Mia," I whispered.

Rebecca grew quiet "Jayden… is there something that you want to tell us because we noticed how Mia nearly flinched when we mentioned you. And I know you're conflicted over this imagine how Mia feels when she found out you were here safe and sound but, at least you know now she's alive… she's still the same person except … more closed off since the war happened," she whispered.

"What do you mean she's closed off?"

"Well…. From what she told us she went through hell Jay-Jay,"

"What are you trying to say…"

"I'm saying you need to look for yourself if you want to find out what really happen and Jay it's really bad… I watched how she was telling us what happen and she'd put a brave face for Teddy because of what happen to Andie,"

"Andie…you mean Teddy's grandmother?"

"Yes… apparently she died a few weeks ago from the death eaters … at least that's what Mia said,"

My legs nearly gave out shaking "Are you serious,"

"Yes I am and Jayden don't be too mad at her from what I can tell she wanted to redeem herself… she's not the same little girl that we all knew… she fought in a war Jayden… I can't even imagine what she went through being a muggle born witch… a very powerful one after her best friend Harry Potter" Rebecca whispered "And Ron too… who's Ginny's brother. From what Mia told us the Weasley's and the Lovegood are gone… Ginny and Luna lost their families so it would make sense that they wanted to come along with Mia who didn't want to leave Teddy behind so they brought him with him since Mia is Teddy's god mother," she explained.

"Bloody hell…." I hoarse learning that one of my good friends growing up is gone that I didn't even noticed I was leaning against the tree defeated "I'll-I'll uh call you back Becca,"

"Jay…"

"No it's not what you said Becca… I just… it's a lot to take in … especially when it comes with my sister... it just seems so real… but, I'll talk to you later okay,"

"Okay love you Jayden"

"Love you too Becca," once we bid 'bye' to one but, before I can call my sister I noticed a few calls and miss texts from Mia from 2 years ago from my old cell phone which I kept for safe keeping… she even sends a couple of pictures of her with her two best friends Harry Potter and Ron Weasey. They gave goofy looks and a few from Hogwarts causing me to chuckle at this until I saw new messages from an unknown number I assumed it's from Mia. It was from this morning till the afternoon stating she's coming home today and wasn't sure if I had the same number but, if this is a different person to ignore the miss texts and phone calls from her leaving me to widen my eyes in horror.

The last text message "Big brother… if this is really you… pls… call me back… if not… then ignore this message and miss phone calls… but, if this is really you…no tricks or whatever please just please call me back…p.s. I asked Becca for your new number but, we need to talk call me at this number XXX-XXX-XXX-XXXX"

"Awe bloody hell," I cursed under my breath and went to call my sister with the new number she left.

"Hello?"

I heard her … my baby sister she's really alive… as I held my breath as I decided to speak up "Hermione Sapphire Jean Granger is that really you?" I hoarse.

"Jayden…"

"Hey kiddo…I thought you were dead. How are you alive… they told me you died!" I cried out.

I could tell her voice was shaking "Big brother… is that really you… and what do you mean you thought I was dead they told me you were dead…"

"I would've but, I survived from the explosion… Mal was the one that got killed not me… after what they did to my wife… and unborn son… and our parents… I killed them every death eater that killed my family… they told me you were dead," I whispered.

That's when she swore under her breath against the Ministry keeping that information from her "Mia… what happen?" I asked.

"I can't really talk here…" Mia whispered as I heard some shuffling "I'm at the grocery store with Gin, Luna and Teddy?" she replied.

"Then I'll go meet you there. Which grocery store are you guys in?" I insisted at this I need to see her for myself if it's really her.

"I can't we're about to leave to go home big brother… we-we can talk tomorrow oh wait… damn I forgot we made plans," she swore under her breath again.

"Plans what plans?" I stated in disbelief.

Hermione sighed "Ginny, Luna and I are going to look for summer jobs and we need someone to watch over Teddy I was going to have uncle Billy watch him but…" she bit her bottom lip nervously "I tried to call you this morning but, I realize you got a new phone with a new number so I asked Becca for it since I didn't have your new number or anything. I made sure my phone was untraceable along with the girls and hoped that you would be able to watch Teddy tomorrow?" she whispered.

"I would love to watch the kid along with you, Ginny and Luna. How is he?" I asked.

Hermione sighed in relief "Tired he had a long day today," she says.

I held my breath "Are you really alive Mia…"

"Yeah…"

"How do I know you're not lying you could be a death eater in disguise,"

"Ask me anything,"

I pondered for a moment "Alright … what's the name that Mal and I picked for our son. The real Mia would know about it since I told her when Mal and I learned we were expecting a baby," I whispered.

"Taylor… Taylor Seth Daniel Granger," Hermione answered.

I laughed at this "Only my real sister would know that… Merlin…when did you guys get here?" he asked.

"Just a few hours ago… why what's up?"

"Oh nothing much I didn't even hear about it until Becca called me,"

[the other side of LaPush Reservation-Grocery Store] …

Hermione's P.O.V.

I cringed "Oh yeah… what did she say?"

"She just wanted to tell me how her favorite cousin Mia is in Forks and didn't bother to call me the minute you arrived… despite how neither uncle Billy, Becca, Rae or Jake doesn't know that we both thought we were dead…"

"How do you think I felt when I found out you were alive this whole time living in Forks no less with uncle Billy and everyone else. You can't even imagine how relieved I was to find out my big brother was alive Jayden,"

"That makes two of us cookie,"

I looked around scanning for Ginny and Luna which they weren't far from me "I know you must be feeling very conflicted believe me big brother I feel the same way but, it's not my fault that I thought you were dead… the Ministry even confirmed since I was the one who came to your funeral that day… since mum and dad are gone… and Minerva I mean Professor McGonagall thought it was a good idea that Ginny, Luna, Teddy and I start fresh start somewhere new since the war is now over,"

Jayden grew quiet "Oh really? Is that what they told you because that's exactly what they told me that you were dead,"

Hermine snorted "The only person who I trust in the Ministry is just Kingsley he's the only person who I trust and since he's now Minister. He wasn't even Minister then it was Rufus Scrimgoeur who told me straight to my face that my family was dead. He's not exactly someone who I trust completely since he's one of a few who Harry doesn't get along with along with Ron and myself of course. He's a barbaric git," she spats angrily.

"HE DID WHAT?!" Jayden cried in anger and swore under his breath "He told me the same thing and he didn't know that I was your brother. He just thought I was just one of your fans or whatever," he spats angrily.

"That's what I said but, before the war started he got murdered in the Ministry when the death eaters attacked and … well I think we both know that happened," she whispered.

"I can't believe that git lied to me," Jayden swore under his breath "That son of a bitch,"

"Jayden Cameron Milo Granger," Hermione scolded me "Watch your mouth,"

Jayden chuckled "Yes sister dearest,"

"So what exactly brought Minerva to send you girls and Teddy down in Forks no less?"

"One word,"

Jayden's face drained "No… are you kidding death eaters,"

"Yes…"

"Are they still after you?"

"Yes and no… it's one of the reasons why I brought Teddy with me because Andie's dead because of this and it already dangerous as it is … it didn't help much how Ginny and Luna both lost their families as well so I brought them with me,"

He grew silent "Becca mentioned that before we said our good byes… when?"

"A few weeks ago… it was the same way when mom and dad adopted Teddy into our family,"

"I see… how did that happen?"

My voice was shaking "Andie and I were having tea… like we usually do every other weekend… Ginny, Ron, Harry and Luna were with me at the time and … next thing we knew we were attacked…. Bellatrix… husband Rodolphus 'Rodolph' was the one that killed her from behind that I shot him from behind with dad's gun,"

"Which one? Dad has more than one?"

"I used the sniper rifles and one of his knives with the deadliest poison snake venom on that knife to kill him,"

"And it killed him,"

"Yes, yes it did and I used a pistols at least 13x to make sure he was dead,"

"Bloody hell cookie…are you saying you killed him with a muggle gun," he said in disbelief.

"Yes I did he was about to hurt Teddy and I used my mother bear instincts to protect my cub even Tonks and Remus would've agreed with me if that was the case,"

He grew quiet "Are you sure he's dead…"

"Of course I'm sure I'm the one that killed him…"

"Well… at least you killed him…" Jayden paused for a moment "How long are you staying?"

"We decided to stay here for our senior year… so it would be for awhile… why?"

Jayden held his breath not noticing Leah's werewolf form staring at him curiously "I'm just curious I mean a lot has changed since you been home Mia… even I know that… you remember how uncle Billy used to tell us those legends stories,"

"I remember a few what does that have to do with anything?" I asked.

Jayden shook his head "Nothing cookie I was just wondering if you remembered it that's all… "he says.

"Are you sure…"

Jayden sighed "Yeah I'm sure… I'm just pondering on how you're alive Mia it's a lot to take in you know,"

"That makes two of us…speaking of plans are you sure you can watch Teddy? Because you don't have too if you have work or something?"

"I'm sure Mia I can watch the kid since it's my day off tomorrow anyway so it's not a problem,"

"Are you sure?"

"I'm positive stop worrying okay,"

"You know I can't help it big brother…"

"I know it's part of who you are…and I get it cookie. I know I mentioned this already but, how is he? Along with you girls?"

"He's quiet… which is understandable… I mean it's his grandmother Jayden… he doesn't like to be left along mostly he stays near me, Ginny or Luna and you since he knows you I figured you two can get to know each other again including uncle Billy, Rae, Becca and uncle Charlie," I explained.

"You saw uncle Charlie then?" Jayden asked.

"Mm yes I did," I hum at this.

"How is he? I haven't got a chance to visit him yet because of work,"

"He seems good but, also sad…" I whispered.

Jayden grew quiet "Jayden…do you know why uncle Charlie would be sad?" I asked.

"A lot has changed since you last been here cookie munch and let's leave it like that huh?" he asked.

I was suspicious "Well I know it has been a long time since I been here but, are you sure there's anything that I should know about?"

"Well you know uncle Charlie has a daughter about your age except you're a year older than her?"

"I think so… Isabella right…"

"Yeah apparently she and Jake got close to the point where he fell for her hard but, she was toying with him. Anything else?"

"I rather that Jake tells you it's not really my story cookie munch,"

I pouted "Well alright… tomorrow for sure you can watch over Teddy right?"
