Violet


When you wish a upon a star

doesn't matter who you are

anything your heart desires

must be obtained through your own sweat and elbow grease O.o

I own nothing (^.^)


"Dolores Umbit-er-bridge, how do you plead?" The head of the Wizengamot asked. He would not have bothered asking as the whole of the Wizarding world knew she was guilty, but formalities needed to be adhered to...and those snickers he heard behind him just made the witch even more furious for at least a second before her eyes lost their spark.

Dolores Umbridge looked up at the Head with those blank eyes, "If pleading guilty earns me the Dementor's Kiss I plead such. Anything to make these nightmares go away."

"Do you mean you charmed a muggle soccer ball to avoid every player during a match, exposed a whole stadium of muggles to magic because you wanted to earn the Dementor's Kiss so you would not have to deal with nightmares?" A member of the Wizengamot hissed at the witch.

"I have tried everything to get rid of them!" Umbridge cried. "I even went as far as going to a muggle hipotise to try and get rid of them!"

"Hipotise?" Someone whispered.

"I think she meant hypnotist," another answered and the other muffled their amused snort.

"Nonetheless, you have exposed our world to the muggles causing over five hundred people to have their memories altered, and over three hundred eighty-nine of their cameras to be confiscated," the Head of the Wizengamot said gravely. "You will be striped of your wand. You will be given a magic suppressant potion and your memories will be obliviated. Any person found to be in contact with you will earn anywhere from one month to ten years in Azkaban. Dolores Umbridge, from today onward you will be an ordinary muggle."

O.o.O.o

"Jareth?"

"Yes my love," he answered, putting down the parchment he was reading and giving his bride his full attention. Hermione looked up at him in silence, but with a soft smile on her face. "Did you need me?" he asked after a few moments.

"I just wanted to hear you say, 'my love'," she confessed with a faint blush. Jareth pulled her closer until she was seated in his lap and he buried his nose into her neck, near her pulse and kissed her lightly.

"My love," he said softly into her ear. "My bride," he whispered and kissed her chin. "My wife," he quietly growled, claiming her lips with his own and devoured her mouth with his tongue. He rubbed his hand over her swollen stomach and looked into her eyes. "My child," he said proudly.

"Come," he said, helping her to stand. "I have been in this stuffy study all morning and I know you want my attention, sweetling." Hermione crossed her arms and looked up at him with mock vexation.

"And what makes you think I would want your attention?" She asked with slight annoyance.

"Because I have been waiting all morning for you to do so," he answered with a smirk. Hermione huffed, but he pulled her close and faded before she could say anything.

"Where are we?" She asked, looking at the half-full parking lot and the carts lined up in their stalls.

"The grocer's," Jareth answered while he picked up a hand basket and headed towards to produce section.

"I can see that," Hermione said with slight annoyance. "I mean where in the world are we? I have never heard of a Grocer's called Fairway Market."

"We are in New York State in the U.S. Because they have the best peaches," Jareth answered.

"So WinCo in Idaho, H-E-B in Texas, or even Waitrose or Sainsbury's, do they not have good peaches?" Hermione asked. Jareth looked down at her with a sheepish expression.

"I thought you never heard of Fairway," he murmured. Hermione smirked.

"I read up on Grocery stores in the U.S when my parents decided to do a tour a few years back," she said softly. Jareth held her against his chest and nuzzled her neck while filling his basket with peaches, making her smile softly. She lifted her head, kissed him under his chin, and whispered, "I love you."

"Mommy!" Hermione jumped slightly in surprise at the little boy's voice. "He's stealing all the peaches!" The boy pouted. Hermione laughed when she looked down at Jareth's basket finally noticed how full it was.

"You've taken almost the whole section of peaches," Hermione chuckled.

"Ah," Jareth said arrogantly. Hermione rolled her eyes, but knew he was using his arrogance to hide his embarrassment. "Perhaps you should have gotten here sooner, lad," he said to the boy.

"Forgive him," Hermione said to the boy and his mother when she rolled her buggy up to them. She elbowed her husband and blushed. Jareth gave an 'oomph' but continued to keep her back against his chest while he absent-mindedly rubbed circles into the top of her swollen stomach with his thumb. "We needed a few peaches for a cobbler, and my husband went a tad overboard. He loves peaches," she smiled.

"Husband? Jareth?" He looked up from his wife's laughing eyes, right into familiar green orbs.

"Sweetling," Jareth said looking down at his wife again. "This is Sarah. I have not seen her since she ran," he told Hermione softly.

"I know," she whispered up at him.

"Sarah," he said carefully. "This is my wife, Hermione."

"It is nice to meet you Sarah," Hermione said softly. "Jareth has, er, talked about you," she said hesitantly. She tried not to look too relieved when her mobile went off. "Please excuse me." She squeezed Jareth's hand and left the two to talk while she answered her mobile.

"H-how long have you been married?" Sarah asked. Jareth smiled at his wife standing so far from him but close enough to listen in on their conversation.

"Here aboveground it would be about a year now," he answered. "Underground it has only been five months."

"She's looks like she'll be due soon," Sarah commented. Jareth's smile brightened and he looked back at his wife.

"We are having twins," he said. "She is six months along now."

"That's great," Sarah said softly, thought her expression said otherwise.

"Mister!" Jareth looked down at Sarah's son. "You took all the good peaches!" He accused Jareth crossly. Jareth laughed.

"Cole!" Sarah admonished her son.

"Very sorry lad," Jareth said with a smile, took out a few peaches, and handed them to the boy. "Next time I will be sure to leave a few of the good peaches for you to find," he whispered to him. The boy smiled and ran to grab a bag to place the peaches in.

"I called," Sarah said. Jareth looked at her and back at his wife.

"I know," he answered and noticed her crestfallen expression. "I almost lost Hermione when I heard your call." Sarah looked up at him with a hopeful expression. Maybe He had told Hermione about her and she was jealous, too jealous. Jareth quashed that hope with his next words.

"She had been kidnapped and-," he held back because he almost choked out how much his little witch meant to him.

"Jareth almost died," Hermione said softly. "We are soul-mates and when I was kidnapped our bond took it as me rejecting Jareth and we almost lost each other," she said with tear filled eyes. "He ignored practically everything else and searched for me." Jareth wrapped her against himself again, determined to never let her go so far from him again.

"I-I had convinced myself that I made up my whole trip to the Labyrinth," Sarah confessed to the couple and had to look away from them.

"Mayb-" Hermione started and was interrupted.

"Hello niece." Hermione and Jareth turned and smiled at Severus.

"What brings you here?" Hermione smirked at him. Severus rolled his eyes in irritation and looked at her pointedly. They both knew how much he detested crowds.

"You are both needed back at the castle immediately," he said pointedly to the couple.

"Oh all right," Hermione grumbled. "It was nice meeting you Sarah, perh-"

"Very nice meeting you Sarah," Severus interrupted, "but these two are urgently needed so please pardon our hasty departure."

"What was that about?" Hermione demanded of Severus after they all were safely ensconced back in Jareth's study in the underground.

"You were about to invite disaster into your life," Severus said. "If you had invited Sarah to the castle she would have become a regular visitor and had you murdered so she could attempt to marry Jareth, but he would have died of a broken heart," he said softly. Hermione held back her tears. "Never contact her again," he said to the couple before taking his leave.

"Who would have thought? My Sarah and your Ronald," Jareth said roughly.

"Mi Mi!" The heavy mood was shattered with that jubilant cry. Hermione smiled as Harry brought his adopted daughter through the door.

"Hello Vi," Hermione smiled at her niece.

"Mine! Mine!" Jareth teased the babe by wrapping Hermione in his arms and pulling her away from the child.

"Mi!" Vi screamed at him in anger and reached for Hermione to claim her Aunt for herself only. They all laughed and Hermione reached for the child to calm her.

"How was Minerva, Harry?" Hermione asked worriedly.

"She was fine," he answered. "Said not to worry about an old biddy like her and concentrate on keeping those babies happy and healthy. She's determined to retire after the both of them leave Hogwarts."

"Was she really fine?" Hermione asked.

"She was," Harry said. "I dropped by the Ministry after my visit for the final adoption papers. Percy is as snobbish as ever, but Clearwater is definitely good for him." Hermione only smiled at that. "Fred is doing great," he said before Hermione could ask. "He and George have come out with a new line of products." The three adults internally groaned.

"How is your Godfather?" Jareth inquired after the man who had experienced so little of life and now had so much to experience because of Arthur Weasley's selfless sacrifice, which had also allowed Fred to live to experience his own way of life.

"He and Ginny eloped," Harry said hurriedly. Hermione's eyebrows in shock.

"That is a surprise," she said softly. "We can only hope that those two will have a happy life together."

"Er, yeah well...I'd better get Violet to her Nana Cissy," he said. "Otherwise Narcissa will have my hide if she goes a day without seeing her granddaughter."

"Are you all right Harry?" Hermione asked. Harry smiled and kissed her cheek.

"Never better," he answered, taking Violet from her Aunt. He smiled down at the green eyes of his niece while she babbled mostly nonsense to him.

"There's my grandbaby!" Narcissa smiled and claimed the child as soon as Harry entered her drawing room. Lucius greeted Harry with a nod and Harry repeated the same to him. "I was beginning to think you were not coming by today," Narcissa said to Harry with a slight frown.

"I wouldn't want that to happen," Harry said honestly while taking a seat next to Lucius. "Besides, Violet would scream her lungs out if she ever went a day without seeing her Nana." He smiled sadly while watching Narcissa and Violet play.

"Is anything wrong Harry?" Lucius asked the young man quietly.

"I just wonder what it was like," Harry said softly.

"What was what like?" Lucius asked, but was sure he knew the answer to his own question. Harry looked away from the woman and child to Lucius.

"What it was like having a mother," he whispered so softly that Lucius almost wished his confession."

"I know that we bonded through our Mia, Harry," Lucius said quietly, "I want you to know that Narcissa and myself are and always will be here for you as we are for Draco and Mia. We can be good or close friends, or we can be like a family to you, or we can be family if you accept us as such."

"Thank you," Harry smiled softly with shiny eyes. "I would like that very much," he said.

O.o

"Hermione?" Jareth asked to catch her attention.

"Yes my love?" She answered, giving her husband her full attention.

"I just wanted to hear you say, 'my love',' he smiled into her hair. Hermione gave a soft laugh.

"I love you," she whispered and kissed him goodnight.

"As I love you," he replied, holding her close to himself before the two of them drifted off to sleep.
