Natasha ran further diagnostics on the pair, and smiled at the results. "They will be fine. It took less time than I thought, but they are going to be fine. They just need more rest, to allow their bodies to fully adjust." |
"Can we see Harry?" George asked from behind the wall he was being blocked by, also known as Uncle Leo. |
"Only for a moment, then you will need to leave. They need their rest." Natasha smiled. |
George rushed around Leo and ran to Harry’s bed, followed by his brother less than half a step behind. They both dropped to their knees at Harry’s side. |
"Is he alright?" Fred asked concerned. |
"He’s fine. All signs are within normal range. Mother Magic has healed his scars, the internal damage and the infection. He has gained some height, however he will still need some restorative potions and exercise to help rebuild his muscles. His eyes however..." |
"What about them?" Fred asked. |
Natasha shook her head. "Mother Magic was never meant to give us everything we wanted. It was a gift to help us excel. Harry is still young and as such, he will need to learn to heal his body the hard way. Don’t worry. He will be fine." she smiled. |
"Ok then......Rest easy love." |
George kissed his forehead. Followed by Fred. |
"Come along everyone. Let them rest." Aditi commanded. |
Once everyone was in dining room and seated, Leo cleared his throat to get the attention of the solemn teens. |
"We have decided to change your training schedule." |
Both boys groaned and Fred put his head down into his arms that were folded onto the table. |
"What now?" George asked wearily. |
"Oh stop it you two. We just realized that we were doing the same as everyone else. We put you both in the same box. That ends now." Cara said firmly. |
"George. You have a natural gift with potions. Your brother is good, but you could be amazing. Your natural calming spirit will help you exceed with what you have dream." Aditi smiled at him. |
"But your charms work is lacking to my standards." Natasha smirked. "You need to be faster. Stop second guessing yourself. You have the patience needed for potions, but in charms you need a different mind set. You need more spell knowledge than you half ass try to learn." Natasha walked up to him and put her hands on h... |
George for his part nodded his head. Aditi rounded on Fred. |
"And you. Unfortunately your very nature will make it difficult for you in potions. But I am not only older, but I am far more stubborn than you are. I’m also looking forward to the challenge." Aditi winked, and retook her previous place. |
"Alright boys. Meet me in the gym in five minutes." Leo commanded. |
Fred and George looked at Leo like he was insane. |
"MOVE!" Leo bellowed. |
It had taken a while but she had done it. Hermione sat back in her chair, leaned her head back and let out a deep breath. She was proud of her accomplishments, and was equally happy with her parent’s help. |
Hermione’s father had sat her down and explained to her how thoroughly arrogant her assumptions were, about how she feels that people should act. He also explained to her that that was most likely the reason why she had difficulty making friends. While her intelligence was to be appreciated, having it not only hung ove... |
Tonks had made good on her threat. After a very thorough dressing down, and near hexing from Andromeda, Hermione felt about a half a centimeter tall. Then to her absolute horror, she was not only made to stand in the corner for an hour(her parents), she was given five hundred lines of "I will learn to listen to people ... |
Andromeda was sitting in a high wing back, dark green chair. Her hands were neatly folded in her lap, her posture straight, with her legs crossed as she glared daggers at what was obviously a contrite Hermione Granger. |
"You have been punished by your family and Mr. Moody yes?" Andromeda asked coolly. |
Hermione gave a slight nod of her head as she had been taught. Her posture was straight, her legs were crossed, and her hands were neatly in her lap. |
"Very well. For your final punishment, you are barred from all libraries for fourty eight hours." |
Hermione forgot her training for a moment and her mouth went comically wide before she snapped it shut. "I am sorry Andromeda for my actions, I promise to try to be a better representative of the House of Black. I..." Hermione shook her head slightly while she glanced at her hands breifly, and then back to her mentor. ... |
Andromeda rose from her chair and walked towards Hermione. Once she was in front of her she opened her arms. "Come to me child." |
Hermione jumped into her arms. "I’m so sorry Andromeda! I’ll be better I promise!" |
Andromeda held her as she cried. "Quiet now. I knew you would make mistakes as you went along." Andromeda held her out at arms length as she looked at her. She wiped away Hermione’s tears. "Your punishment stands young lady. I expect you to take it with the grace and dignity of a Daughter of the House of Black. You wil... |
Hermione had a thought. "Andromeda. Is he...sane?" |
"No one is sure to be honest. Now go to work on those lines young lady." |
"Ugh. No library" Hermione muttered as she walked to her room in Grimmauld Place. |
"Emma, Dan, Do you approve?" |
"Yes." They both agreed as they took off the invisibility cloak that they were wearing. |
"Thank you Andi. She needed that." Her mother said. |
"I will always agree with whatever you agree to. As her parents, you have my respect." Andromeda nodded her head slightly as society demanded. |
And now a day later, Hermione was looking back at the note paper that she was writing a note on. |
She had thought back to what her father had said about speaking with other parent’s of Muggleborns about what was going on in the Wizarding world. There had to be other parents out there who had no idea of the bigotry or the current dangers that their children face. So she started with a couple of other Muggleborns tha... |
"Hermione sweetheart, I picked up the little booklet from the printers this morning. I hope one hundred and twenty five is enough." Her father walked into the kitchen at the Doggy Playhouse. They decided to do the majority of the research there, instead of Grimmauld Place due to the prevalence of other wizards coming a... |
Dan snorted. "Booklet, more like small novel." |
"Daddy it’s only two hundred and eighty five pages." Hermione was very proud of the little project. She had spent the week after Andromeda’s punishment pouring over laws, school records, and chewing the life out of Ted Tonks’ ears. She had met some adult Muggle borns from any number of magical and mundane fields of wor... |
A healer in her fifties who had to go abroad to train because the prejudice was even worse back in her day. |
A magical carpenter (she didn’t even know they existed!) who couldn’t get work frequently enough. |
A clothing designer. |
A photographer. |
An auror who discovered she would never be promoted, quit and moved on to the magical section of Her Majesty’s Service. (And wasn’t that a shock to find out that there is one!) |
A potions master, who surprise surprise, gained his mastery abroad, but when he came back home received almost no work. He currently works part time as a tutor, while selling high quality potions for other muggleborns he has come across in the muggle world. He is also working on blending magical and non magical medicin... |
All of them chased from the wizarding world because of their blood status. So much waste of magical talent. |
She sealed the letter to Penelope to confirm the date for the meeting with the non magical parents for one week’s time. She handed the letter off to Sirius’ owl and watched as the bird took to flight. |
"You’re doing a wonderful thing Hermione. I am so proud of you." Dan placed his hand on her shoulder, and kissed her temple. |
She reached up and squeezed his hand. "Thanks da. Where’s mum?" |
"She’s making sure that all of our licenses are in order for when we do the charity work that we talked about this year when you go back to school. I also wanted to tell you that Ted got us a great deal on the house and our portion of the practice. We will be set up financially for some years to come if we’re careful." |
"How did he get it done so fast?" |
"Well when I asked Ted the same thing, all he said was "Magic!’ " |
Hermione narrowed her eyes. "Did he use magic on Muggles?" |
Dan shrugged. "I asked and he said he used it on the paperwork. Whatever the difference makes on that score. The house was on the market for a day before some "mr. fancy pants with enough oil in his hair to lube a jet’, his words not mine, paid cash for it, and at the asking price. The clinic was sad to see us go, but ... |
"Dad. I’m..." |
"Do not finish that statement. You are my daughter and I love you. End of discussion." Dan told her sternly. Hermione nodded her head. |
"Good. Now the other reason that I’m here, is Dobby." |
Pop "Harry Potter’s Grangey’s daddy calls for Dobby?" |
"Er yes. I was about to ask her what refreshments she would like for the meeting." |
"Dobby can make anything Harry Potter’s Grangey wants Dobby to make." He looked up excitedly. |
"Erm...well. Just some finger foods Dobby. Cut fruit, vegetables, meats, cheeses. Maybe some pastries, coffee, tea, juice. Some bread or crackers. Cake for tea. Sandwiches. Something like that." |
"Dobby can do Miss Grangey." |
"One more thing Dobby. I know that I am not the Mistress of either the House of Black or Potter, But I would like to make a suggestion. You will be representing the Houses of Black and Potter. We will be introducing the Muggle parents of Muggleborn children to magic and magical beings. Take this moment to hold your hea... |
Dobby started to do what could only be described as a happy dance, and said. "Dobby watched a movie with Master Wolfie. Dobby has perfect clothes in mind!" And then he was gone. |
"Well that was...disturbing." Dan shook his head at the spot that Dobby had just left. "Come on Peanut. Time to workout." |
Hermione groaned. "Do I have to?" |
Dan raised his left brow. |
"Coming dad." Though Hermione hated the workouts, she really was getting a lot better, and she loved the changes in her body. She had way more energy, she was much more flexible and best of all her magic seemed stronger somehow. Now if she could just wrap her head around dueling. |
Madeye "Don’t call me sir or Mr.’ Moody told her that her problem was that she thinks too much. Actually he said "You think to damn much girl!’ |
"It’s the same problem lass! You put in too much thinkin instead of doin! Ya need both! They throw a curse at you, ya dive out of the way and throw something stronger at them! Ya shouldn’t be going through your whole spell catalog when you’re trying to save your life. Put em down an move on!" |
"Alright. I’ll try." |
"Don’t try. Do!" |
And so her training and studying sessions went on like that. Her and Ron had increased their skills dramatically in the short time that had been learning over the summer. Which now that she thought about it wasn’t really saying much given that they had never learned dueling in the first place at Hogwarts. |
They had also added Ginny and Neville to their training. |
At first Mrs. Weasley had said absolutely not at the top of her lungs. But Arthur and his newly found back bone stepped in. "Molly. Ginny has every right to learn to defend herself as the others. Or did you forget that we are labeled as Blood Traitors. She confided in me that the gods aweful Malfoy scion calls her a Bl... |
Arthur turned to his daughter. "Ginny. Go with your brother. While your mother and I talk." Ginny bolted to the training area. |
Hermione’s first impression of Augusta Longbottom was "royal bitch’, but she kept that to herself. She was now very thankful for Aunt Andi’s lessons, because her face was as devoid of all emotions as she could get. (She was still new at this after all) |
"Are you sure that you want to study with my grandson? He is rather clueless when it comes to his studies as I’m sure you are aware." The Longbottom matriarch said with her nose in the air. |
Andromeda didn’t move a muscle at the put down of the Longbottom heir, though inside she was seething at the old bird. "I can assure you that they do. Harry considers Heir Longbottom a friend and would like to ensure his safety in these troubled times." |
"Hmph. Very well." Augusta turned to a meek Neville. "Be on your best behavior, and don’t embarrass me." With that she turned and left. |
"Decrepit old Hag." Andromeda muttered after the door closed behind Lady Longbottom. |
All of the children laughed. |

Hermione was nervous as she walked into the building. Remus, Andromeda, and all of the elves had spent the previous three days placing wards to hide magic on the small hotel and the meeting room that they were using just outside of Brighton. |
It was a hotel run by a half blood that had left the wizarding world, to start his own business. His mother was a Muggleborn, and his father was a Muggle. |
She was wearing a simple yellow summer dress that had short sleeves and fell to just below her calves, flat brown sandals, the small gold hoop earrings that she got for her twelfth birthday, and her hair pulled back in a pony tail. She was nervous as all hell, which made no sense. She wouldn’t be doing most of the talk... |
There were at least seventy five people there. She supposed that many of the parents were "not in the loop’ of the magical world were curious. She hesitated a moment, but looked to where her parents and her magical guardian were standing. |
Andromeda gave her a nod of encouragement. As well as Remus and Penelope. |
Hermione walked up to the microphone that was there and steeled her resolve. She saw many students that she was familiar with. The Creevey brothers. Jessica Samuelson. She could do this. |
"Hello. I’m Hermione Granger. Most of you don’t know me, but I’m sure you’ve heard about the know it all from Gryffindor." Quite a few chuckled. There was always a complaint about her behavior from all four houses. |
"I have set up this meeting today to tell the Muggle parents, and some of the students who don’t know the truth. The invitation that you accepted today was charmed so that only you or your parent or guardian could read it. The truth you see,is that as Muggle borns, for the most part, we’re not wanted in magical Britain... |
Some of the parents were looking to each other while others looked to their children. This was definitely not in the speech they got from the teacher that came to see them. |
"Please!" Hermione held a hand up. "I have taken the time to put together some of the various, laws, rules, and statistics of magical U.K. We will give them to you now." Hermione waved her wand, and the booklets went to the adults in the crowd. |
