Here is my new story. Please read it and let me know what you think thanks love Hannah xxx

Hermione wondered why she'd been called to the headmaster's office. Had she done something wrong? She sure hoped not. She knocked and entered to find him sitting behind his desk with a glowing tray which was golden in colour hovering in front of his face. On top of the tray were two fancy looking scrolls each with their own scent. "Sir you sent for me is everything alright?" she asked him as he motioned for her to have a seat.

"Miss Granger I have many things to discuss with you today. Firstly I must discuss your parents with you. I instructed them without your knowledge to leave a will behind for you should anything ever happen to them and as for some reason they are no longer around but definitely living which I don't understand their will has come into effect and I must now read it out to you. I am sorry about your parents!" he said looking forlornly.

"Well sir for their safety during the war I obliviated them and their memories of me sending them to live safely with new aliases in Australia. I did this knowing I would never be able to get them back again. It was worth it so they could live and have a happy life together. They have made a wonderful life for themselves over there and are happy living there and that's all I could ask for. At least they got to live even of it was without me. Please proceed!" she said as he gasped in shock.

"Miss Granger I had no idea you'd done anything like this and I must say it was a very brave and tough decision to make. I am so proud of you. Now I'll read the parts of the will pertaining to you. To our daughter and the love of our lives Hermione we leave all of our life savings plus Aunt June's manor in Cornwall. It was left to me when she died and I felt it only right that you should now have it. As for our house you may do with it as you see fit. You can live in it and use the manor for holidays if you like. We have never been more proud or blessed to have a wonderful girl like you as our daughter. I know your extreme hunger for anything knowledgeable has been a pain in the ass sometimes but we love you none the less. Remember to live each day as though it is your last, always expect the unexpected and for goodness sake get out of that damn library every now and again. Life is for living not wasting away reading inside. Always follow your passions and know that even the worst of people can deserve a second chance. Hating people is a waste of time and indeed energy but then again you know that don't you. You can do as you wish with our cars. We adore you little girl and we always will. Love always, mum and dad x.

She wiped her eyes as she listened to it. "Thank you so much sir. I understand with them being under new aliases this would all be left to me although the second house is a surprise he must have forgotten to tell me his aunt left it to him in her will. Was that all you needed to see me for?" she asked him silently wondering about the floating tray which had moved to his side so he could speak but was still very much present.

"Not quite Miss Granger. I need to ask you if you've ever heard of a magical custom called the ultimate choice?" he asked as she wracked her brains for the correct answer.

"Well sir all I know is that it's a pureblood thing but I don't actually know anything about it really!" she answered honestly.

"Hermione it is not solely pureblood but half-blood too. Now what happens is two or more families will present me with a familial scroll belonging to their family pertaining to whichever girl it is they wish to choose their scroll. In this instance it's you. The rules are unfortunately that you must choose one whichever one calls out to you the most and not choosing one is not an option!" he said as her face paled.

"But what happens to me if I don't wish to be any part of this? Will I end up in jail?" she said tears forming in her eyes at the uncertainty of it all.

"No Miss Granger no one ever goes to jail for that in this instance but in our society failure is merely not an option so I must ask you now to choose one of these scrolls. It's actually against the law to put someone in jail for failure to comply with this. Please choose carefully as it will change your life in ways I can only explain once you've done as I asked of you. Take as long as you like to do so. I know you don't understand all this but you will in a while I assure you. Feel out with your hand without touching the scrolls and allow your eyes to close gently as your magic fills your core and guides you towards one scroll. Once you're sure of yourself only pick up that scroll!" he said as she looked at him in awe.

"Well ok I will do it but only because I trust you and I trust that you would not bring anything which could harm or upset me into my life. I trust you sir and you should know before I do this how important that is and how important it is that you don't betray it" she said focusing her magic and closing her eyes.

She was surprised that both scrolls actually had a smell to them. She wondered did he know about the smell previously. One smelled of fine chocolate, ink, caviar, whiskey, champagne, velvet and gold in its liquid form which they often used in potions. It actually smelled quite nice. The other one smelled of vanilla, sandalwood, boots, leather, chocolate, polish and champagne. In actuality she liked both of them initially but needed to think what appealed to her most. Did she prefer the one which was more down to earth or the one which smelled more expensive? The more she thought about the expensive one the more annoyed she became as it was highly pretentious. What the hell was whoever this belonged to trying to achieve? It was absolutely ridiculous and they should have known she'd never like that scent anyway. What idiots!

"Well sir the idiots that made that scroll there don't know anything about me or what I might like and are so pretentious that it's actually almost laughable. For obvious reasons I pick option number two" she said reaching out for the scroll which gave her the most comfort but not touching it.

"Please if you would hand me the scroll sir I don't like the possibility that my hand could touch against the other one!" she said as he nodded no.

"I will remove the other one but you yourself must touch this one and only you" he said taking the other scroll away. Things were about to get interesting.
