Granger Family Reunion

Chapter 3 - Arrival

At the Domum Superbia Industries resort Isla de Paz, the Granger family was sitting in the arrivals lobby, waiting for Richard and Jenna Granger and their daughter Hermione to arrive. In the last 45 minutes, the rest of the family had arrived and they were now sitting with drinks waiting for the last of the family to arrive. The lobby they were sitting was 2 stories high with floor to ceiling windows on two sides of the room that held a view of both the landing strip and marina. The decor was a mix of blues, whites, and grey leaving the guest with a feeling of comfort and luxury.

"Now before Richard and Jenna arrive I would like to explain something." Anthony Granger, the family patriarch started. "Hermione will be bringing her husband, children, and guests. These guest are like an extended family to all three of them. We as a family will be welcoming to the entire group. Is that understood?"

Bethany and Catherine Granger both leaned into each other and had a whispered conversation discussing the probability that her guests were all ugly bookworms that had no social skills.

"Grandfather, when will they be arriving? The next charter plane won't be arriving for another hour. I think we should just see them at dinner." Hermione's cousin Tiffany asked.

"Nonsense, they will be arriving in the next five minutes via their private plane."

At this everyone's jaw dropped, the only ones in the family with the power of wealth to charter or purchase a private plane and use it frequently were Charlotte and Anthony Granger, the family matriarch and patriarch.

Five minutes later Charlotte Granger pointed to a plane that had just landed and stated that they had arrived. This lead to even more questions being asked because the plane was clearly someone's private airplane and not a chartered jet. The plane was white with green and gold detailing, from the outside it looked like it could hold around 30 people.

Once the plane had stopped and stairs had been rolled up, bell boys started to gather the various pieces of luggage. Someone opened the door to the plane and out stepped Richard and Jenna Granger. Jenna was dressed in a black floor-length romper that looked both stylish and comfortable and Richard was wearing a polo t-shirt and black jeans. Behind them came Hermione and her husband followed by their three children, causing everyone's mouths to drop open. Hermione was no longer the bushy-haired girl from her youth and in her place was a gorgeous young woman. Hermione's hair was in a braid pinned back in a bun with loose curls framing her face. She was wearing a white sundress with white wedges. Her husband and sons were all wearing a white dress shirt and dark green pants while her daughter was wearing a white and yellow floral sundress with her hair in a fishtail braid reaching down to her waist. Together they looked every bit the rich aristocratic family they were.

Behind the Malfoy family was the Potter family. Both Ginny and Lily were wearing deep green dresses with white silvers shoes while the male Potters were wearing white dress shirts and deep green pants. The color scheme and pattern continued in the same fashion with parents coming out with their children right behind them. After the Potters, Ron and Daphne came out with their two children and Blaise, Astoria and their daughter followed behind.

When Hermione and her family arrived where the rest of the Grangers were waiting, she had to suppress the urge to smirk. Everyone except for her grandparents was looking at her in shock, clearly recognizing that Hermione had changed and made very good connections. While aunts Anastasia and Zara, uncles Allen and Alexander and cousins Amber and Jackson were looking at her in both shock and pride, the rest of her family was looking at her with barely disguised jealousy and anger.

Reaching her family, Hermione greeted her Grandparents and started to greet the rest of her family before starting her introductions.

"Everyone, this is my husband Draconis Malfoy and our children. Orion Draconis is 13, Scorpius Hyperion is 10 and Cassiopeia Alaya is 8. Behind them, we have Harrison Potter and his wife Ginevra with their kids. Edward "Teddy" Lupin-Potter 15, James Sirius 13, Charles Regulus 10, Lillian Elizabeth 8. After that we have Ronald and Daphne Weasley-Greengrass, their kids are Roseanne Marie 13, Hugues "Hugo" 13. Last but not least we have Blaise and Astoria Zambini and their 8-year-old daughter Alina Karla.

I am sure you remember my grandmother Charlotte and grandfather Anthony. This is my aunt Carrie and uncle John and my cousins Jennifer, Marcus, and Stephanie. This aunt Tori and uncle Spencer and cousin Tiffany and Haden with their families. Aunt Anastasia and uncle Allen and cousin Amber and Jackson. Last but not least is aunt Zara and uncle Alexander and cousins Bethany and Catherine."

Hello Hermione, it is nice to see you again. This is my husband Michael and our 13-year-old daughter Sarah. Jackson's wife is named Haley and they have a 10-year-old named Julie." Hermione's cousin Amber explained.

"It is nice to meet you, I can't wait to get to know you. However, it has been a long trip and we will see you at dinner. Was there anything planned before dinner or are we just checking in before heading to the restaurant?"

After finding out that there were no other plans, the group gave one nod before turning as one entity. They made an impressive sight, walking as one and entering the waiting golf carts as one before each family drove to their villas.

"Why did they not have to go to the check-in desk? That's so unfair!" Hermione's cousin Catherine complained.

"I believe that may be because they own some sort of timeshare or they could have checked in online," Haden responded.

While the Grangers were checking in, most of Hermione's uncles were thinking about the possibility of finding a business contact while her aunts were left thinking about her clothes. Hermione's cousins Amber and Jackson were left feeling proud of their cousin, she had obviously done well for herself and they were going to enjoy the upcoming show; after warning their spouses and children of course. Bethany, Catherine, Jennifer, Stephenie, and Marcus were all left slightly worried wondering about the possibility of their news not being considered big important news.

AN-

I apologize for not uploading every day as planned; I had some writers block and then realized I had messed a large portion of the story. I will be leaving every chapter at about 1,000 words unless I feel that the story can flow well otherwise. Although I must ask, are the chapters to short?
