Chapter 2

The big mystery as to why Hermione wasn't getting her letters still hadn't been solved. Lily feared that her Hogwarts letter might be in danger of not coming as well. And so she told James that she would be going to get it herself.

"Thanks, mum," Hermione said.

"I'm heading to work," James said. "We have a case that we're doing and we know where the idiot is at."

"Be careful," Lily warned him.

"Aren't I always," James told her and he walked out the door.

"Your letter will be coming soon," Lily told Harry and she left.

"You think that mum and dad care about you," Harry said. "They don't care anything about you! Al you are is the Girl-Who-Should-Have-Died."

"And I'm not having this conversation with you," Hermione snarled. "You think that you're so great and everything. Well I hate to burst your bubble, but you're not. I'm the one going back to Hogwarts this year while you're going to Durmstrang. And last time that I checked, I'm not the one that got bitten in the first place and then decided that me and Melissa had to experience what you go through. So don't even think that you're better than me."

"I'll prove to you that I'm better than you are."

"Fine, whatever," Hermione said and she stormed down the hall and to her room.

She was furious with Harry for what he had said to her. She knew that he was only doing it because he couldn't stand her but it hurt. Harry had turned into some kind of monster and it was worst than anything that she could of changed into. Lily came back with Hogwarts letter and Melissa, who smiled at her. Thankfully Harry was not around.

"My brother is upset," Melissa told her.

"About what?" Hermione asked her.

"It's mum," Melissa said. "She wants him to never come back but she can't do that, and she hates it."

Hermione sighed and said, "It's not his fault that he's got a bitch for a mother."

"Hermione!" Lily said, giving her an odd look.

"Sorry, but it's the truth," Hermione told her. "Petunia Dursley has been blessed with three children and she hates two of them."

"Still-."

Hermione knew what her mum was talking about.

James didn't come back that night, which made everyone worry. Even Harry was worried, though he didn't show it. Finally Lily left to see if anyone knew where he was, telling Harry, Hermione, and Melissa not to go anywhere.

"Yes, ma'am," they all said and she flooed to the Ministry.

"I hope that he's alright," Melissa said.

"Me too," Hermione said.

Lily didn't come back that night either and wasn't there in the morning. A house elf made them all breakfast and then Sirius Black showed up and he didn't look happy. He sat down and said, "Hermione, Harry, I have some bad news."

"What bad news?" Harry asked.

"James has been killed!" Sirius said. "The moron that we were after used something and the whole place went up. I don't know what it was but it was bad."

Hermione felt tears welling up and she ran to her room, slamming the door.

Hermione was still upset when it was time to bury what was left of James Potter in Godric Hallow. Even Harry was upset and them being werewolves didn't help matters. Lily was beside herself with grief and Hermione knew that she would have to be strong. She didn't want o be strong, she wanted to be away from death and tragic endings. A week after James was buried Hermione got a shock that sent her screaming.

There was a house elf on her bed and it didn't belong to the Potter's.

"W-Who are you?" she growled.

"I'm sorry Miss Potter," he said. "I haven't introduced myself. The name is Dobby, Dobby the house elf."

"What are you doing in my room?" Hermione demanded.

"Dobby has come to warn Miss Potter."

"What kind of warning?" Hermione asked him.

"Miss Potter mustn't go back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this year," it said. "There's a plot! A plot to make most horrible things happen this year."

"What horrible thing? Who's plotting them?"

At once Dobby started to hit himself and then the door opened and Lily walked in, her wand raised. She wasn't alone, Severus was with her.

"Dobby, what are you doing away from the Malfoy's?" Severus asked and Dobby vanished.

"He belongs to the Malfoy's," Hermione said.

"Yes," Lily answered. "What's going on here?"

"Looks like there's going to be trouble at Hogwarts," Hermione told them and then explained what Dobby had said.

"Great, and I thought we were going to have a normal year," Severus groaned. "Hermione, I need for you to come with me."

Hermione looked at him but then followed him out of the room.

"The whole thing is stupid," Sirius said as they entered. "I won't have Lily having anything to do with this?"

"What's going on?" Hermione asked.

"Your mum is being force to marry again," Sirius said. "It's the damn marriage law."

"What marriage law?" Harry asked.

"The one that was passed after the first Wizarding war," Sirius answered. "Lily has been ordered to marry someone in her department. Severus, naturally, agreed to do it but he's already married."

"Who are you married to?" Hermione asked him.

"A half-blood that lives in France," Severus answered. "My daughter goes to Beauxbaton!"

"This is wrong!" Hermione said.

"I know that, dear, but there's nothing that I can do," she said. "The man's very nice, but I don't want to move away."

"Lily, you don't have to move away," Sirius told her.

"Thanks," Lily said. "Merlin, I haven't even finished morning for my husband and now I'm going to have to get married."

"Lily, we'll support you," Severus told her.

"Thanks, both of you," Lily said, a smile on her face.

The next month Lily, and a half-blood name Daniel Snow, were married. Hermione and Harry didn't attend because they were recovering, along with Melissa, from their transformation. Hermione wasn't sure if he even liked the idea of three werewolves living with them. Thankfully they didn't have to move. Sirius took Harry to Russia so that he wouldn't be late for his first day at school and Hermione and Melissa were free to think about the new term.

A/N: I would like to warn you that Ginny is gay in this story. However Hermione is not and neither is Melissa. The reason for the warning is that the unhealthy fixation that she has for Hermione is going to be a nightmare for Hermione and Melissa. Also the Diary will be affecting Ginny even more than it did in the books. It's due to her love for Hermione that she becomes even more violent than she was in the books. So, please, no flaming.

She's going to be more like a stalker that thinks that a person loves them when they don't. So, please, don't bash that as this is a one-way attraction that Ginny has and Hermione feels nothing. Don't worry, everyone, Hermione will find her mate. Can't have a lonely werewolf, can we.
