Chapter 9 ~ A Letter's Home

Thankfully, the children were in Hogwarts when Ron had received a call from his father; Molly had been severely injured. He stopped by the Burrow the following day to check for mail for his parents; and upon accio-ing the mail - was surprised when an old letter addressed to Hermione sailed into his hand from the depths of the house.

Frowning he re-read the name.

Hermione Granger.

What was a letter doing here for Hermione? With her last name? And from the yellowing, it was easy to discern that it had been here for years. Not counting, he recognized the writing. Kingsley? No, he shook his head, McGonagall. Flipping it over, he easily ascertained that he had been correct; it bore Hogwarts coat of arms along with her personal seal. Hogwarts and her seal…meant that it had to be at least three years old if not older; as she had retired from Hogwarts after Rose's first year. And – she had addressed it with Hermione's maiden name; so…that meant it was probably closer to twenty years versus three.

Shrugging, he slipped it into his cloak along with the rest of the mail before grabbing his father a fresh set of robes and apparating back to St. Mungos.


A/N: Well, you found the letter…albeit slightly later than I'm sure you or they would have liked.
