Chapter 2- Marilyn Jane Holmes
" Well," Hermione Granger turned to Ginny. They were part of the last two still in the monstrous hall.
" That Professor Holmes fits the tall, dark, mysterious mold, doesn't he? My dad is his dentist."
" Oh yes, but i already like someone," Ginny replied trying not to blush, she wished she was dating her childhood crush, Harry Potter.
" I know you like Harry and now that Cho's gone he's all yours." Hermione herself fancied Ron, one of Ginny's older brothers. Ron Weasley smelled apples and peppermint, but he had the emotional range of a teaspoon. Ginny and Hermione were walking down the hallway to their dorms when they blindly ran into a tall, slender girl with 'cookies and cream' coloring.
" Dammit," beautiful stranger muttered as her trunk split rocketing her clothes and book all over the corridor.
Hermione picked up a copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and handed it to the stranger.
" We're both very sorry, this is Ginny Weasley and I'm Hermione Granger, you are?" Hermione asked politely.
" Thanks, and I'm Marilyn Jane, Marilyn Jane Holmes, yes my dad is 'Professor Holmes." Marilyn gathered her spilled goods.
" I had no idea Professor had a er…. daughter." A surprised Ginny added awkwardly.
" Believe it , cause I'm here," Marilyn add irritably.
" Hello there, Marilyn! 'Evening Ms. Weasley and Ms. Granger." Sherlock Greeted them as approached his students and daughter.
" Dad? Why are you here?", Marilyn questioned her brilliant father. Ginny noticed something in Holmes' hand, something round, golden, and it had petite, careful letters on it.
" Ladies will you please excuse us?" Sherlock asked as sweetly as he could. Hermione and Ginny headed on to their dormitories. Once the Holmes were alone Sherlock pressed a locket into Marilyn's hand, it was thick and heavy. Marilyn brought up to her face and read the cursive letters, Always and Forever.
