A Granger Reunion

Chapter 3

An owl flew up to me, and handed me two bright pink letters that reeked of perfume, and two normal white letters. I recognized the owl as one I had bought to stay at my parents house, which delievered any mail brought there to me.

"What are those awful smelling letters?!" Ginny exclaimed.

One of the side effects that Ginny had while pregnant was that her sense of smell increased, so I imagine it must smell even worse to her.

"I don't know." I said, momentarily forgetting my panic about my pregnancy.

"One is addressed to me, and the other to my parents." I said quietly.

I was still sad about my parents death, but I also couldn't think of anyone who would send us mail, who also didn't know that my parents had passed. I opened the pink one that was addressed to me.

Beaver,

There is another reunion happening this year. I hope you won't attend. No one wants you there. Your parents can come if they want, but we don't care. Hope life in your parents basement is treating you well! How's your job as a high school librarian? I'm sure that's how you're living anyway. The reunion is being held at THE Stargaze hotel, in western California. This hotel is owned by THE Draco Malfoy, who is engaged to marry my dear daughter Alley, so if you do come, try to scrape something nice out of that prudeish closet of yours.

Worst Wishes,

Ashley Granger

"Well, that sounds like my aunt. Apparently, Draco is engaged to my cousin Alley. I wasn't aware of that fact." I said with a smirk.

"How are you okay with this! She is blatantly insulting you, and lying about your husband!" Lavender exclaimed.

"Really Lavender, it's alright. She just doesn't like me. Evidently, my family didn't get the letters I sent to them about my parents funeral. I guess I have to go, if only to tell them." I sigh.

"Who are the normal envelopes from?" Luna asked.

"Oh, those are from grandmother." I say.

Dear Hermione,

How are you, sweetheart? It's been years since you wrote, and even longer since I have seen you! I hope you and your parents are well. Please come to the reunion on the 20th of July. We all miss you dearly! Feel free to bring your spouse or kids, if you have any. We really miss you sweetie! And your dear parents too!

Much love,

Grandma Eliza

"Well, that just guilted me into coming," I said glumly.

"Maybe it would be best to go. You can face your fears, and show your rude family that you are married to a famous man, are quite rich, and have soon to be ten kids!" Ginny said.

"I suppose you are right. Besides, it would be nice to go to California. I haven't ever been before, and I'm sure the kids will love it. It is in about a month and a half, so I may need to bring out my maternity clothes." I say.

"Well, this has been a most eventful afternoon. We should probably head back to the Malfoy Manor for dinner. I take it the three of you will be announcing your pregnancies then?" Ginny asked.

"Yep"

"Mmhmm"

"Yes"

"Let's floo there, then." Ginny said.

The four of them flood to the manor, and walked to the dining room as the boys and the kids came in.
