Back Home

It had been far too long since Hermione Anne Granger had gone back to England. She left the country 11 years ago, wishing to leave all her past behind and start off with a new slate. Hermione looked out the window of her humble home. She now lived in the United Sates. Boston, Massachusetts, to be exact. She had moved there 11 years ago and lived alone with her beautiful daughter Adeline.

The question asked quite often by Hermione's friends over in the US was 'Who is Adeline's father?' Hermione always flinched as people asked her that question. Ofcourse she knew whom the father of her child was. It was none other than 'the boy who lived.' Mr. Harry Potter.

Back at Hogwarts, Hermione and Harry were an item. They had started dating in their 5th year and had continued until 7th. Harry and Hermione parted ways after they had slept together. Hermione found herself pregnant and was too afraid to tell Harry about it. What would he think of her? Would he stay? Or would her run away not being able to handle the responsibility of being a father? Hermione had been hurt too many times in her life before. And she couldn't handle rejection well, especially by the man she loved.

"Mum, mum!" Screamed Adeline as she ran through the hall of her house. Adeline had a British accent ofcourse; her mum wouldn't want it any other way. "My Hogwarts letter has finally arrived!" She yelled with joy as she ran to the kitchen to show her mother. Ofcourse Hermione had not neglected the fact to tell her daughter who she really was. Adi (Adeline's nickname) knew that she was a witch and that her mother was too. She knew about Hogwarts and all of Hermione's friends. Adi always asked her mother to tell her a story about one of her adventures with Ron and Harry. Hermione took the letter and smiled at her daughter. 'You have your father's beautiful emerald green eyes' She thought as she opened the letter.

The only thing Adi didn't know was who was her father. Her mother kept telling her 'I'll tell you when the time is right.' The only thing she actually knew was that her father was a wizard and a famous one at that. Hermione held the letter down so Adi could get a peek at it too. Hermione started reading the letter carefully.

Dear Miss. Adeline Granger,

Adi now seemed even more excited than she was ten minutes ago when she first received her letter. "Well we best be off to Diagon Alley soon hunny. I mean it's already the 29th of August. We're lucky you actually received this letter in time. Being over seas makes the owls have a little more trouble to arrive here." Said Hermione to her daughter. "I hope I'll be as smart as you mum and that I make great friends. Like Harry, Ron, and you." Said Adi with a smile. Hermione nodded silently, oh how she wished she could just tell her daughter that she was Harry Potter's little girl.

Two days later, was the 31st and Hermione and Adi were taking a plane back to London. Hermione had found a nice house in a little magical town called Incense. It was right near Diagon Alley, which was great for Hermione. She was so happy to go home in yet very afraid to deal with all the past she left behind. These thoughts were erased from her mind as she heard her daughter yell "Mum! Mum! Look we're here! We're in London!"
