Capítulo 27: Chapter 26

Hermione smiled down at the letter and when she finished reading it she packed the gift. It was a little box, she opened it and in the box there was a golden necklace with a charm hanging on it. The charm was a golden heart with a little red diamond on it. She loved it, it was beautiful. She packed the necklace out of the box and put it around her neck. She put the letter and the box with the rest of her things and walked down with the book in her hand. She put her coat on and a scarf and walked outside. Ginny gave Harry a kiss and then walked fast towards Hermione.'I saw the owl picking at my window.' Ginny said with a smirk.'What did you get from him?' Ginny asked.Hermione smiled and pulled out the necklace that was around her neck.'Oh my gosh that's beautiful!' Ginny said placing her hand under the charm to get a better look at it.'That's so cute.' Ginny said.'I know right, I love it.' Hermione said smiling looking down.'I think you don't ONLY love the necklace...' Ginny said smirking.'Oh shut it Gin.' Hermione said rolling her eyes.Ginny laughed.'Sure you don't want to play with us?' Ginny asked.'Yep, I'll stay safely on the ground where nothing can happen to me.' Hermione said looking up at her friends who were already flying in the air.'Well you can get a paper cut.' Ginny said.Hermione rolled her eyes laughing and Ginny turned around and flew up in the air. An hour later Andromeda Tonks and Teddy Lupin arrived. Hermione walked into the house to greet them.'Great to see you too.' Hermione said smiling giving the mother of Nymphadora Tonks a hug and then kneeled down in front of Teddy to give him a hug too.'Great to see you too Hermione.' Andromeda said smiling.'How are you?' Hermione asked.'We're fine.' She said.'You've grown Teddy.' Hermione said.'Huge.' The little Teddy said proud.'Yeah you're a big boy now.' Hermione said smiling.Teddy got a big smile on his face.'Look aunt Mione.' Teddy said.Hermione looked at the little boy and his hair colour changed from purple to blue.'That's beautiful Teddy.' Hermione said smiling.Teddy was just as his mother was a metamorphmagus, and the little boy looked so much like his father. Harry loved his godson, he always played with him when he had the time.'Where is uncle Harry?' Teddy asked.'He's outside playing Quidditch with the others.' Hermione said.'Do you want to go to him?' Hermione asked.'Yeah, yeah!' Teddy said enthusiastic.Teddy packed Hermione's hand and they walked outside. 'Look who we got here Harry!' Hermione said smiling looking up at Harry who was flying in the air.Harry looked down and got a big smile on his face. He fast flew down and landed in front of them.'Uncle Harry!' Teddy said with a big smile running towards Harry and wrapping his arms around his legs.'Hee Teddy! How are you?' Harry asked smiling.'Great.' Teddy said smiling.'Did you get fun presents for Christmas?' Harry asked.'Yes.' Teddy said with a big smile.'Shall we go inside and get ourselves a nice warm choco?' Harry asked.Teddy nodded and they walked inside. The others landed too and walked with Hermione inside. They all greeted Andromeda and got a warm choco. 'How are things going?' Mrs. Weasley asked.'Oh it's fine, Teddy is a lovely kid.' Andromeda said with a small smile.Andromeda was everyday reminded of her daughter and son-in-law because Teddy looked so much like his parents. Hermione could imagine that it was hard. She would be reminded every single day when she woke up that her only daughter was gone, the only family that Andromeda had left was Teddy and Narcissa Malfoy, her sister, but they didn't talk or see each other for years. That evening they had a wonderful Christmas dinner. They all had much fun and enjoyed each other's company. Hermione hoped that Narcissa indeed would try to contact her sister, then Andromeda would have some distraction herself too. It would be good for both sisters. Hermione looked at the little Teddy who was changing his hair colour and Harry and Ginny laughing. He looked so much like his mother. 'So tell me Hermione, how is it to be Head Girl?' Andromeda asked.'Oh it's great, everything is going okay.' Hermione said.'Are you still reading a lot?' She asked.'Little bit.' Hermione said smiling.'You can say a lot.' Ginny said next to her.Andromeda smiled.'And are you still in the Quidditch team?' Andromeda asked Ginny.'Yeah training is starting after we get back.' Ginny said smiling.'Still captain Harry?' Andromeda asked.'Yeah, and Ginny is my right hand.' Harry said smirking.'Hope Gryffindor will win the housecup this year.' Andromeda said.'Yeah we all do.' George said smirking.'How is the shop going?' Andromeda asked.'Oh it's going great! I'm probably going to open another one in Hogsmeade, I've seen a store that was going to be sold, thinking about buying it.' George said.'You should do that, that would be great!' Ginny said.'Yeah then we can visit you when we're in Hogsmeade!' Ron said.George smirked.'I'm considering.' George said.'How is it going with you two then? Enjoying your pregnancy Fleur?' Andromeda asked.'It's going great with us.' Bill said smiling.'Oh yes I do, but it is 'eally 'xhausting.' Fleur said.'Yes, but you're almost there right?' Andromeda asked.''eah I am.' Fleur said smiling.'Keep it going and enjoy it.' Andromeda said with a small smile.Fleur nodded smiling and took a sip of her water.'Anything news happened lately?' Andromeda asked to nobody particular.'Not that we know of.' Ginny said giving Hermione a wink.Hermione rolled her eyes and took a bite of her chicken.'Oh really?' Andromeda said smirking, probably having an idea where this was going to end, one thing she didn't know was that Hermione was actually dating her nephew.'Andromeda have you talked to your sister after the Wizarding War?' Mrs. Weasley asked.Andromeda turned her face towards Mrs. Weasley and raised her eyebrows.'Er- no, not at all, not before and not after, why are you asking this odd question?' Andromeda asked.'Oh just wondering.' Mrs. Weasley shrugged.'I've never even seen or talked to my own nephew, have no idea how they are doing. I know that Lucius is going to have a trial and come on everyone knows how that's going to end.' Andromeda said.'Maybe you should try to make contact with your sister?' Mr. Weasley said.'I don't know why I would do that. I mean I didn't see them in ages.' Andromeda said looking at Mr. Weasley.'No of course, but maybe it's the right time to try. People have changed after the Wizarding War, and I think Lucius didn't want his wife to talk to you because you weren't a Death Eater or a follower of the Dark Lord. This could be a new start for both of you.' Mr. Weasley said.'I don't know.' Andromeda said softly.'And they've changed.' Hermione said.Andromeda looked up at Hermione.'I don't know how it's going at school with Draco, but if he hasn't bullied any of you, that doesn't mean that he really changed, you need to know people before you can say that they've changed don't you think?' Andromeda asked.Hermione nodded lightly'But we know that Draco has changed.' Harry said.'How can you know that for sure Harry?' Andromeda asked.'Because Draco is a friend of ours and...' Harry said.'He's what?' Andromeda asked startled.'He's a friend.' Ginny said.'And he's the Head Boy.' Ron said his mouth filled with food.'Ronald, first eat then speak!' Mrs. Weasley said.'Manners.' Mrs. Weasley muttered.'He is?' Andromeda asked with widened eyes.'Yes.' Ginny said.'But didn't Head boy and girl share a dorm together?' Andromeda asked.'Yeah they do.' Charlie said.Everyone knew about Hermione and Draco now, after she told George she told Bill, Fleur and Charlie too. Mrs. Weasley told her husband after she talked to Hermione that night.'But that means you're....' Andromeda started looking at Hermione.'That we live together.' Hermione said nodding.'And you say he really changed?' Andromeda asked.Hermione nodded.'And so did Narcissa.' Hermione said.'I've met her at the platform when we arrived there a few days ago.' Hermione said.Andromeda was silent for a moment and then nodded lightly.
