FAMILY TREASURES

SUMMARY: A year after the war, Hermione returns home with her parents just in time for their family's annual summer vacation! This time secrets are revealed about her family that will shock everyone she loves, how ever will Hermione cope with everything? Eventual Dramione. J

Okay, I know I haven't finished any of my stories just yet but I cannot for the life of me shake this story out of my head! SO here I am again, writing a story about Dramione!

So hope you all like it too!

A few Notes about this story:

I know that most the events in the book happened in the 90's but for the sake of me not getting confused, I'll be adapting the timeline of the movie. That means that the war ended in 2011 and my story begins in the summer of 2012 so that means that the characters will be 18 years old in this story which means that they were all born in the 90's rather than the 80's. Did you guys understand that? Anyway, the point is, I'm following the movie in terms of their ages minus the epilogue. J

DISCLAIMER: Harry Potter is JK Rowling's baby all familiar characters belong to her, the ones that are unfamiliar, are mine. J

CHAPTER ONE: THE RETURN

"Sweetheart, its time to wake up. Wake up Hermione" Hermione awoke to the sound of her mother's voice as her shoulder was gently shaken in order to rouse her from her sleep. "Breakfast is ready and your father has taken our bags into the car. You have to get ready now sweet heart if we're to be at Grand mum and Granddad's place on time." Her mother said in order to convince Hermione to get up.

"G'morning mum, I'll be down in 20 minutes." Hermione said as she finally sat up and tried to wipe the sleepiness from her face before stretching her body.

As her mum finally left her room, Hermione began entered her bathroom and began her morning routine: Brush out the tangles of her hair, Shower, brush her teeth, apply body lotion and face cream which included sunscreen, brushed her hair again and dry it either with a wand or a hair dryer, depending on which one she'd rather use then get dressed and eat breakfast.

As Hermione finished her morning routine, she went to the kitchen to find her mother and father at the breakfast table waiting for her before beginning to eat breakfast. Hermione couldn't help but smile at the sight she saw, her mum and dad are finally back in England with her acting like a normal family.

As Hermione sat down at the breakfast table, she finally felt that she was home once more. It has been a year since the second wizarding war and after Harry had won versus Voldermort, she stayed until the renovation of Hogwarts and the Malfoy hearing were done. After that she bid Harry, the Weasleys and the rest of the order a good bye as she set to find her parents in Australia to restore their memories. After having restored their memories, she told them what had happened and while they were upset that their own daughter took their memories from them, they understood her decision but they had also decided that for Hermione's benefit, they would not return to England any time soon since they knew Hermione needed to recuperate away from the after effects of the war. So Hermione stayed with them in Australia, after informing her friends in England of her parent's decision.

Truth be told, Hermione was glad to take a break from everything that's happened in wizarding England. She needed a break and she knew that her family wanted to spend time with her after being gone for so long. But after a year of staying in Australia, her family knew it was time to come home, they did have responsibilities to return to after all.

"Helen, I need to pass by the office before we head out to your parent's. I need to pick up a few papers with regards to the dental company." Richard Granger said as he ate breakfast.

"It's fine, they know we'll be late and beside, we'll have plenty of time later." Helen said.

Hermione may have kept her wizarding and muggle life separate and while she has friends on both lives, she hadn't really told them a lot about herself. For instance, in the wizarding world, they only know her as the muggle-born witch, bestfriend of Harry Potter, the boy who lived and defeated Voldemort twice, one-third of the golden trio, they also know that Hermione's parents are dentists.

But what they didn't know is that Hermione comes from a family of dentists, in fact everyone in her family, dating back to the late 1800's were either in business or were dentists so, it came as no surprise that her family owns a chain of dental clinics that cater to celebrities, politicians, businessmen down to the everyday working class all over the country. Despite her seemingly humble upbringing, Hermione Jean Garrott Granger hails from a very rich and influential (dentally speaking, that is) family.

After breakfast, Hermione's dad loaded the rest of their stuff in their car while Hermione's mum made sure that they didn't forget anything and soon the Grangers were off to see grand mum and Granddad Garrott.

By the time the Grangers arrived at Hermione's grandparent's house, it was already packed with her relatives and cousins.

Another fact that Hermione's magical friends don't know about her is that while Hermione may be an only child, she does come from a rather large family. Her mum was the second of three siblings; Her aunt Henrietta is her mum's older sister and Uncle Howard, her mum's younger brother.

"Helen! Richard! Welcome back!" Aunt Henrietta said, the moment Hermione's mum opened the door, "oh how I've missed you! And Hermione! How are you my little bookworm? Alaia, Phillip and Thomas has been waiting for you out in the porch, why don't you go there after greeting Grandmama and Grand papa, hm?" her aunt said.

"Hi Auntie Hennie, I missed you too! Haha! I'll go see where Grand mum and dad are then I'll go meet up with Alaia." Hermione said as she hugged her aunt and then moved to look for her grand parents, but before she got past the living room she suddenly found herself lifted off the floor and being carried around her waist.

"There's my little mouse! Long time no see!" the man who had lifted her said, she immediately knew it was her Uncle Howard.

"Uncle Howard let go! haha!" Hermione said as she squealed at being carried and twirled around before being let down. "I can't believe you can still lift me up like that!" she said as she hugged her uncle after he put her down.

"I can't believe your still so light!" he replied back "so how was Australia? Did you like it there? Personally I thought it was too hot, but that's just me." He said.

"Australia is wonderful! I'm going to miss living there but it's so good to be back! How are Nathan and Ellie?" she asked.

"They're great! All your cousins are waiting for you at the back porch so go on ahead, I'll catch up with the oldies" he said as he winked at her, knowing that she'd remember their inside joke when she was little and wanted to join the oldies table.

After Hermione went to see and talk a little bit with her grand parents she immediately made her way to the porch where her cousins were impatiently waiting for her.

"Finally! I can't believe you're really back! We've got so much to talk about I've practically gone insane without you here!" Her cousin, Alaia who was her age, said as she met Hermione half way from the porch and dragged Hermione out the rest of the way. Her cousin didn't even give her ample time to greet her youngest cousin who didn't seem to mind their big Minnie being carted off by their older cousins.

Before Hermione could say something back she was already cut off by her oldest cousin by three years, Phillip "Give her some space sis, clearly she's overwhelmed by the sheer amount of people surrounding her now, you know how much of a loner our Minnie is!" he said jokingly knowing how much Hermione loved to stick to her cousins because she was an only child and had no one to play with unless they were visiting.

Hermione stuck her tongue out and said "well we all know your pranks would have sucked if I wasn't there to help make it better and you never could have gotten away with taking too much cookies unless I was with you, so really, I was the one who got stuck with you." Hermione was used to this banter between her cousins. He was after all her first playmate aside from Alaia, the three of them were practically inseparable.

"Fine, Fine, just cause I missed bugging the heck out of you the past year you were away, I'll concede" Phillip said as he raised both his hands as a sign of surrender.

" That's more like it!" Hermione said as she made her way towards her oldest cousin and gave him a really tight hug, which he too gave back.

"Anyway, where are we going really? No ones told me much about the details except that we're all going on a one week trip." Hermione said as she let go of her cousin and stood with Alaia.

"Oh right, no one's told you yet cause everything only happened last month!" Alaia said as she led Hermione and herself in one of the chairs vacant in the porch, "Well, apparently great grand père Garrott had another will made for some really old family property in Wiltshire that grand papa can only claim 5 years upon Great grand père's passing. Apparently, no one but great grand père knew about this property because it came as a surprise to everyone! It took the lawyer almost a year to track grand papa down!" Alaia said which as much enthusiasm as she could.

Hermione was astounded with all the information that her cousin had given her. Their great grand père lived an incredible long life before he died six years ago at the age of 110 years old. She never really thought much of it because she was always told that her family had always been gifted with an incredibly long life span, which seems to be true as her grand father, at 88 years old could still pass for an extremely healthy and fit 65-year-old man. But now, she couldn't help but feel a little curious and doubtful of the whole situation but until she could grasp fully what was going on, she was keeping her mouth shut.

"So that's where we're going today cause apparently, grand papa wanted to see this property for himself. The lawyer that visited him actually had a few photos and important papers with him the day he met with grand papa so he saw a few photos of what the place looked like. Apparently we have an ancestral house there that's pretty big, about 25 rooms and that hasn't even included the rest of the property and house's other rooms!"

"And how on earth did you find that out?" Hermione asked but then said "Actually don't answer that, with your penchant for snooping around I'd have no doubt you snooped around grand papa's things the moment you found out about this property!" Hermione said, knowing that that was what her mischievous cousin probably did.

"Oh how I missed you so much my know it all cousin!" Alaia said as she hugged her cousin real tight once more.

Alaia thankfully let her go soon because soon after Uncle Howard showed up on the porch letting them know that it was time to go and that they had to go out of the house and get into their respective cars.

As Hermione made her way to her parents and their car, she noticed that her grand parents were waiting for her too.

"Minnie my dear! I hope you don't mind but grand mum and I are going to join you and your parents for the ride." Her grand father said, and then in a more quiet tone, he whispered "I also do need to talk to you about something but I didn't get a chance to back inside the house because everyone wanted to see you and your mum. I hope you don't mind if you seat with me at the middle with Grand mum?" he asked.

Baffled, Hermione took at least three second before she realized her grand father was waiting for a reply "of course grand papa! I'd love to sit with you and grand mum!"

And with that they began to get inside the car and were soon on their way to Wiltshire.

Okay so here's a recap before I forget, the grand parents in this story are not Hermione's dad's side, they're her mother's side and since I've not got a clue on who her mother is, I made her name to be Helen Garrott Granger while her dad is Richard Granger.

Well, there you have it, a brief background on the adults in Hermione's family. I'll maybe make another one of this for Hermione's cousins, so watch out for my next author notes. HAHA. But I'll most likely just describe her cousins during the stories in one of the future chapters, or maybe I'll do both. Let me know what ou think. I'm mostly just doing these family backgrounds so as to not be confused when I'm writing about one of them and I thought it might be useful to you guys too! :)
