CHAPTER 2


Harry looked out of the rear passenger window at the trees flying past, Mr. Weasley had given Hermione’s dad an oblivious charm for his car before he had left for Peru. It would make all the muggles in Hyde park look the other way as they drove through the landmark.

“There it is!” Hermione’s mum exclaimed and pointed to a small building through the trees.

*FLASHBACK*

It was that summer, Harry and Hermione were walking up the nearby hillside towards the old druid’s well. Suddenly two death eaters jumped out of the heavy foliage and disarmed them sooner than you could yell ‘Quidditch’. Just as they both thought their luck had finally ran out, there was a shout of ‘EXPELLIARMUS!’ and the two death eaters’ wands flew over Harry and Hermione’s heads. Spinning around they saw Hermione’s mother with a grim look on her face just before she yelled ’STUPIFY!’ and knocked the death eaters out. She looked at them with a sheepish smile playing on her lips and mumbled,

“Well, I wasn’t going to let them hurt my family now, was I?”

*END OF FLASHBACK*

It turned out that Hermione’s mother had been a witch all along and had never told her daughter for safety. In fact, she was quite a prominent witch and had been the top of all her classes at Hogwart’s save one. In potions her best friend had beaten her; Lily Evans, Harry’s mother. This information had shocked both students to the core as they had always believed that Hermione was a muggle-born, and then Hermione’s jaw dropped further.

“That means that aunt Lottie was a witch too! She was your twin! So, Rose must be a witch also!” She slowly asked her mother.

Caroline Granger nodded, looking a little sad at the memory of her dead sister.

“Lottie and me were best friends with Lily in school, even though she was in the year above us. When we left school we both got jobs in the ministry as clerks in the Education Department, that was where Lottie met Rose’s dad. I met your dad in the street outside as I accidentally apparated too close to him and knocked him over! Me and Lottie got married a day after each other and had you and Rose on the same day! Our family thought it was the best joke since ‘why did the muggle cross the road?’ (answer; because he couldn’t fly!) and posted the announcements in The Daily Prophet.” She laughed softly at the fond recollection.

Hermione sat there completely pole-axed while Harry had bombarded her mum with questions about his mum. She said that Lily had been the most wondrous friend you could ever have hoped for, at this Harry had felt a wave of pride deep in his heart as his mother was remembered. Hermione continued staring at her mother.

“Miya, don’t look at me like that. I wanted to tell you, honest! The worst time was when you got your Hogwart’s acceptance letter, I felt so proud that I could’ve exploded!”

“Fair ‘nuf mum, but why didn’t Rose go to Hogwart’s? Surely, they would’ve let her in too?”

“It was because of my disguise that she wasn’t invited. She got training from her great uncle instead, from the reports from your godmother she’s apparently extremely advanced for her age. Maybe the same as you and Harry combined my dear.”

Harry looked over at Mrs. Granger again with the unspoken question in his eyes,

“You want to know who her granddad is don’t you Harry? And you Hermione? Well, Rose’s surname is not Erodmud as we have told everyone, it’s an anagram. Her real name is Rose -”
