Mum,
First I must tell you to not listen to Lyra she's a drama queen and a snitch I never went behind nanny's back. I just want to ask when your coming home I miss you. Is Uncle Harry coming this time I miss him and it's boring with just Granddad, and Lyra is just irritating me all the time, I also got a game I want to play with him but only boys can play girls not allowed sorry mum. I can't wait to see you Nanny says you have a test soon I don't need to wish you luck because you will smash them your awesome, I went to Caleb's to play and for some Tea his dad asked about you said you should come for some tea when your fee I told him you don't like him and that he is creepy so you wont want to come over, he wasn't mad or anything he just laughed and left us to play. I also got into a fight in school and got time out but it wasn't' my fault honest Joseph was calling you names. Saying you should have drowned me at birth and that you don't' love me since you never take me to school he also made fun of Ly he tried to push me so I hit him and his nose started to bleed I told the teacher that no one is allowed to say things about my sister only me, she told me off and said she would be talking to you and that I am an awful boy I hate this place it sucks I want to leave mum, please can I go somewhere else. Anyway I know there is nothing you can do until you are at home, Nanny went into complain but nothing got done. Don't worry about me I made him bleed he leaves me alone now it was brilliant you should have seen it blood was everywhere it stained his shirt.
Love you and miss you can't wait to see you
Love Matthew x
Hermione sighed ''Oh bloody hell''
Harry pulled the letter out of her hand and frowned ''That's not fair it wasn't his fault it was self defence clearly the little brat started it what are you going to say when the headmaster or teacher speaks to you?, just as well you are pulling him out the school's crap anyways''
Severus raised his eyebrow ''What seems to be the problem''
Hermione sighed and rubbed her temples ''There's this boy called Joseph and he likes to bully people well yesterday he started on Matthew called him names and apparently he called me names and said that I should have drowned him at birth and that I don't' want him nor love him since I never take him or pick him up at school. He also said that I am never with him so I couldn't want him he then went on saying mean things about Lyra and tried to push him so Matthew punched him in his nose causing it to bleed.''
Hermione shook her head ''He got into trouble for it and the teacher called him an awful boy and told him that she would be speaking with me about him he told the teacher what happened and she didn't listen to him and put him in time out, it's like detention and it wasn't his fault, it's just one thing after another.'' she said frustrated
Severus shook his head ''I say good on him, must have been one hell of a punch to cause it to bleed, and obviously he was protecting you and his sister it's fair obviously the school are not helping so he dealt with it I trust the boy leaves him alone''
Hermione nodded ''That's what he say's he said that the kid wont go near him, usually he is so quiet and never fights back but say anything about his sister or me and if he is pushed enough he will fight back which is what he has done and he is proud of his hit he said It was awesome and there was blood everywhere'' she shook her head
Harry chuckled ''That's not all, what are you going to do about Caleb's dad when you see him I mean he told him that you don't like him and that he is a creep, and you can't blame me for that one you call him a creep all the time it was going to get back to him eventually''
Hermione blushed ''Shut it Harry, I can't I am going to have to avoid him the whole time now, bloody hell''
Harry saw that everyone wanted to know so smiled ''Caleb's father has an obsession with Hermione she tells me he doesn't it's' just a crush but I don't think it is he told Matthew that he should tell his mother to come around for some tea next time she's around but Matthew told him that she wouldn't' come around because she don't' like him and says he's a creep'' Harry finished bursting out laughing at Hermione's blushing face ''God I love Matthew he's brilliant''
Hermione scowled '''It's not funny Harry he lives opposite! I will have to see him at some point''
Harry shrugged ''So from what Matthew says he clearly isn't' bothered and don't believe it otherwise he wouldn't' have laughed I told you he's obsessed with you''
Hermione shook her head ''Never mind, Matthew wants out from the school so looks like he got his wish, he also wished me luck said I'm awesome and don't' need luck he said he missed Harry and I lots' and that Lyra is bugging him and lying about him getting into trouble he also has a new game that only boys can play apparently so that's me my mum and Lyra out'' she said shaking her head
Everyone laughed but agreed that the boy did the right thing he stood up for himself and he didn't throw the first punch just then the fire flared to life and out stepped Minerva
Minerva sat next to Hermione just as an Owl flew out of the window ''Oh who's is that''
Hermione smiled ''That is Lyra's owl Crystal although Matthew shares her until he can have one of his own, I am getting him one for his birthday I just sent them a letter each they both sent me one and I had to reply to them''
Minerva smiled ''Oh that's lovely, so how are you?''
''I'm ok I suppose, had a rough night last night but it isn't' unusual for me to have a rough night but I am happier this morning, I sent my letter to withdraw Matthew from school and then I got my exams tomorrow then graduation and I finally get to be with my kids''
Minerva smiled '''So are you going back tonight?''
''Yes this evening get some more study time in before my exams tomorrow''
Harry snorted ''I told you Mione there is no need I mean haven't you done enough work I mean elven hours is bad enough I think I would rather stick with my Auror training''
Minerva chuckled ''Yes the Transfiguration is a long test but there is one longer than this''
''Yeah I know it's called Potions'' Harry said laughing
Albus clapped his hands together 'Excellent I am sure she will do just fine, now what have you planned this morning''
Harry smiled ''I know we need to get some beds for the kids and some other furniture along with clothes, toys and games to go with their things from the house. So why don't' we hit London first then go to Diagon and Hogsmead before heading for some lunch in the three broom sticks''
Hermione thought about it for a moment ''Hmm we could I do need to get some stuff I am going to be busy as it is as will you with your training and it would be nice to have there rooms set up ready, I finished creating that charm to allow electric to work with out magic interfering with it so you could have the internet and sky fitted in while I'm away''
''Brilliant that means I can have a TV in the living room and watch my films and get a laptop, the kids will be pleased they will be able to bring their PlayStations and Xbox we should go get everything today I can buy a TV for downstairs as well with surround sound it will be brilliant'' Harry said giving her a smile
Tonks smiled ''Hey guys I'll come with you both to give you some help it's not like I got anything else to do''
Hermione smiled ''Oh cool, it will be more fun that way, besides you can help me choose things for Lyra'' she smiled ''Maybe we can call by Malfoy Manor and grab Draco...no actually he doesn't know and I don't' want to talk about it at the moment I think I will tell him after the kids are settled''
Harry smiled in understanding ''When should we go''
Tonks smiled ''How about now, where both dressed and Mione is so I we leave now we can get the shopping done, grab some lunch and have plenty of time before Mione heads back to Uni''
Hermione smiled ''Good idea, I got my bag and my Gringotts card so I can pay for everything''
''I'm paying'' Harry announced quickly
''I don't' think so Harry James Potter I have more than enough money. I don't' want you to spend it on us you buy them enough''
''Oh come on, I got plenty and I love to spoil them, it's fun please,'' he said folding his hand's in front of him
Hermione sighed and shook his head at his antics ''Fine I will allow you to buy some things but not all of it''
''Fine it's a deal'' Harry had no intention of keeping the deal he would buy it all
Hermione, Harry and Tonks headed for the fire to floo the leaky cauldron they each left Harry went first followed by Hermione and finally Tonks.
Hermione stepped out of the floo and got her balance back she wasn't a fan of flooing she watched as Tonks fell out and hit the floor as usual she laughed ''So, London first?''
''I'm fine with that have never been so it's up to the pair of you.'' Tonks said smiling
Harry grinned ''London I want my TV, Laptop and surround sound''
Hermione shook her head fine London it is. Come on then we will hit the furniture shop first then the clothes shops before getting the electrical things and heading back to Hogsmead and Diagon''
''And the Quidditch shop'' Harry pointed out
Hermione sighed ''Yes and the Quidditch shop, now let's go'' Hermione, Tonks and Harry all headed for London to begin shopping.
Yay we get to hit some shops this will be fun :D
