Small fingers grasped his hand as he stepped up to ring the doorbell. A middle-aged couple opened the door with welcoming eyes and bright smiles. Hermione looked up at Bernard.
"Papa? Who are they?" Bernard crouched down so he and his daughter were at eye level. He carefully selected his words.
"This is my cousin, Jean Nott. She's a squib who married Daniel Granger, a muggle. They're going to take care of you until you get your Hogwarts letter." he answered. She counted on her fingers.
"That's 4 years from now. Will I get to see you Papa?" Hermione frowned. Bernard shook his head.
"No, but Theo and I will write you everyday, and we can send pictures to each other. Once you get your letter, you can come back to the manor and you'll be safe." he replied.
"Okay, Papa." she hugged him, and turned to Jean and Daniel. "Hello there. I'm Hermione Nott." she said pleasantly and stuck out her hand. Daniel shook it jovially.
"I like her already." he whispered to Jean, grinning.
