Hermione was at the Ministry with Lyra, they were going to get a portkey for their upcoming trip

"So what are you and James doing on Valentine's Day?" Hermione smirked

"Mum" Lyra whined

Hermione laughed and wrapped her arms around her daughter shoulders

"What are you and dad doing for Valentine's Day?" Lyra asked Hermione

"Well there is a restaurant from an old friend of ours—"

"Wait the chef? The husband of the tattoo artist who did your matching tattoos?" Lyra asked

Hermione nodded

"—He has been asking us to come to a tasting, considering that he runs one of your fathers restaurants, and he has made a whole you menu, after that I'm taking him to the beach where we had our first not official date" Hermione explained

They reached the department of transportation

Hermione began filling out the paperwork

"Hermione! Hermione!"

Hermione groaned and turned around

An older Rita Skeeter came up to her and her daughter

"Finally" Rita laughed, her quick-quill hovered beside her

"Hello Rita, what brings you around here?" Hermione asked

"Well that lovely story you gave my daughter, but I must say...it was a shame you didn't give it to me...considering our history" Rita said

"Yes well...I couldn't trust anything you would print out Rita"

Hermione grabbed the little bag that was holding the Portkey and grabbed her daughter

"Well...you are an identical image of your daughter" Rita smirked

"Stay away from her" Hermione ordered

"Is it true? Are you dating James Potter?" Rita asked, winking "considering your mother couldn't claim one Harry James Potter" Rita smirked and moved closer to Lyra

Hermione wedged herself in between them and glared at Rita

"I find out you are harassing my daughter or my son, and I swear to Merlin and Circe and everyone up there, I will make your life miserable, stay. Away. From. My. Family." Hermione gritted out harshly

Rita smirked and turned to Lyra

"This is my card, do send me an—"

"Incendio" Lyra said, the card burst in flames and Rite screeched

"Oh you—"

Hermione's fist met Rita's nose and a very audible crack was heard

"You stay away from my family" Hermione ordered and led Lyra away from the department

They exited the ministry before bursting out in laughter

"Merlins beard mum!" Lyra laughed

Hermione shook her hand before checking her knuckles

"It was so much easier when I was younger" Hermione giggled

Lyra laughed again and hugged her mum

"I love you mum" Lyra whispered

Hermione kissed her daughters forehead

"You are my star Lyra, I love you so much...and I would do anything to protect you and your siblings" Hermione promised
