Two Little Ghosts

Part 9

Two Little Ghosts chapter 8

Harry saw a beautiful girl in the tower-like part of a huge house. But the couple was perfect and had wanted him? They already had a pretty girl. When the couple had entered the house he could smell death despite the strong overlaying smell of cleaning products.

Were all "perfect" people really abnormal? The Dursleys had been "perfectly" normal in their opinion. This "perfect" couple had only wanted him because he had fit into their version of "perfect" then? What terrible people the world was filled with.

The couple was in a storage closet that had a giant door at the back with a huge lock and chain attached to it. The man & woman took it off with a bolt cutter before opening it. The smell made them pinch their noses though he couldn't smell much over the overuse of cleaning products.

The man went off first dragging the woman behind him up the twisting stairs of the tower. Harry followed up after them. When they reached the top of the tower they were horrified by the amount of blood cradling the too-small child with a sharp butcher knife in her stomach. The pretty ghost girl was there and Harry gently smiled at her. She waved back. Hermione secretly thought that this was her magical prince rescuing her from her tower. Maybe they could go on an adventure together? Her pale cheeks became slightly opaque like a blush.

The owners carefully cleaned the room and buried the girl's body in the woods ten feet deep head first. The two kids watched as the couple put a for sale sign on the house and moved to Europe away from possible charges. The girl watched them silently. Harry put his hand on her shoulder. Luckily, his hand didn't pass through her.

The girl said her name was Hermione Granger. She said that the tower was all she knew for her entire life and she had never known that the house was actually huge.

Harry told her he liked the name, Hermione. It reminded him of a fairy tale whose main Queen was named that. He hadn't known his real name until the neighbors had called him by the name of Harry.

Harry & Hermione, the two little ghosts giggled and decided that they'd travel the world together. Starting in the capital, London, and then going around to Wales, Ireland, Scotland, and then to the big, wide world! Hermione loved the sound of this adventure just her and her prince alongside her!
