A/N: Aww.. A new story, well a sequel. I'm glad you guys like All My Yesterdays so much and are reading this one. I hope you like this one just as much, though this when will be written on the spot and not planned out so it might take a little longer to get up. Anyways…. here it is….
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Harry Potter.
Chapter 1
Hermione stood in the doorway of her old London flat: looking at the packed boxes, the deed to her new cottage clutched tightly in her left hand, a sleeping Sirina carefully balanced against her right hip. It had taken longer than she had expected to get everything in order for the move. It had taken even longer since she insisted on doing it all by herself and not telling a soul. She wanted to surprise Harry and the others so she did not tell them of her plans to return home.
When she had decided to face the past and go back, she knew she couldn't return to the Black House. There were just too many memories to face there, too many of him. It was just her luck that she had found her dream cottage that was the perfect size for her and Sirina just a few streets over. She had fell in love immediately with the place and bought it instantly.
The muggle bookstore Hermione worked at and partly owned was a flourishing business. They made a lot of profits and were rated one of the top bookstores in London. This allowed Hermione to buy the cottage without any problem and also allowed her to fully furnish the home with extra money left over.
When Sirina stirred in her sleep, Hermione smiled down at her little baby. She couldn't wait till Harry and them found out she had a baby. That was another secret she had kept to herself.
"Say goodbye darling," Hermione whispered. She leaned down and softly kissed Sirina's tiny head already covered with dark black hair just like Sirius'. Hermione shifted the sleeping child in her arms and chuckled when Sirina puckered her face at the disturbance in movement.
"In about an hour, we'll be at our new home. Then you'll get to meet your Uncle Harry, Uncle Ron, and Aunt Ginny. They'll all come just to see you darling. You'll capture their hearts in no time at all and have them twisted around that itsy-bitsy finger of yours, just like you have me. Sirina, love, say goodbye."
But the child just continued to sleep peacefully while her mother turned off the light and shut the door with a soft 'click' behind them. The movers should arrive in about an hour to move the boxes to her new home. She was going to head on over and get everything ready for when they arrived. Plus, she had to set up a place to put Sirina so she wouldn't get disturbed or in the way.
She walked down the stairs and headed towards the car she had recently bought to travel back and forth to work in. She placed Sirina as gently as possible in the car seat and strapped her in. Getting in the car and starting the engine, Hermione drove off, leaving the past behind her and heading towards her new life.
A/N: I know, short right? Sorry, I tried to hurry and write it because I don't think I'll be able to post in the next couple of days. Next chapter, someone important wink, wink will come back. If you guys can't figure it out, I'm not telling. This was just a "Hermione getting ready to move" kind of deal here.
I got a suggestion, actually a request, to change Sirina's name. As much as I dislike the name, I'm not changing it. The reason it is Sirina is because Hermione was naming her after Sirius…but since she was a girl she couldn't name her Sirius so she named her Sirina. I personally don't like the name but I'm gonna keep it. Sorry.
As previously stated, this story may take longer to post then the other stories of mine. Though some of you might think I abandoned Behind the Mask. I have a lot of things going on at the moment and really don't have any time to post. I'm trying really hard though. I even get up at 5:30 in the morning to post, which is saying something because I am NOT a morning person. Please forgive me if it takes a while, I will try my best to get the chapters up ASAP. Thank you!
PLEASE REVIEW AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!
!Amaya!
