Hermione's Secret

Chapter 4

There she was standing outside house 39 in Laterns Street waiting to meet her sister. Ron rang the doorbell then gave Hermione's hand a squeeze. There was a click as the door opened and a woman with dark hair and dark eyes greeted them.

"Can I help you?" The woman asked

"Hello, I'm Hermione Weasley, um I was wondering are you Ellen Lansberry?" Hermione asked

"Yes I am did you say you were Hermione?" Ellen asked

"Yes" Hermione said nervously

"I had a sister called Hermione once" Ellen said

" That was me" Hermione replied

"It's been so long" Ellen said hugging Hermione

"Ellen, I can't believe I'm finally meeting you" Hermione said returning the hug

"Please come in," Ellen said opening the door for Ron and Hermione

"Can I offer you any tea or coffee?" Ellen asked

"Some tea would be great thanks" Hermione replied as she and Ron sat down and waited for Ellen to join them.

"So your Laura?" Hermione asked

"Yea that's me, all though know I'm known as Ellen"

"I never knew about you, to think all these years..." Hermione said

"Oh sorry, we didn't introduce ourselves!" Hermione said

"I'm Hermione Weasley as you know and this is my husband Ron" Hermione said gesturing to Ron

"Well its lovely to meet both of you" Ellen said

"MUM! ELLA'S CRYING AGAIN!" a voice yelled

"Sorry can you excuse me for a minute?" Ellen asked

"Sure would you like some help?" Hermione asked

"Oh no that's fine, how about you come meet the kids though?" Ellen asked

"Sure" Hermione replied

Ron and Hermione followed Ellen upstairs and were greeted by a little boy who looked about 11 or 12.

"She's in the playroom," the little boy said

"Ok sweetheart, and oh Peter I want to introduce you to some friends of mine" Ellen said

"This is your Aunt Hermione and your Uncle Ron, and Ron, Hermione this is Peter"

"You mean the famous Ron and Hermione the hero's of the golden trio?" Peter asked

"Yes Peter" Ellen replied

"It's an honor to meet both of you" Peter said shaking both of their hands

"He's a bit of a fan, sorry" Ellen said

"Well what can I say?" Ron said with a smug smile

"Ron!" Hermione exclaimed whacking him on the shoulder

"Ouch Hermione!" Ron exclaimed

"And this is Chloe she's four year old" Ellen said picking up the little girl and rocking her.

"Hey Ella look its your Aunt Hermione" Ellen said as Hermione looked at the beautiful baby girl.

"Is it just the four of you?" Ron asked

"No there's my eldest daughter, Hannah, she'll probably be in her room, hang on one minute ill grab her, would you mind holding Ella?" Ellen asked passing Ella to Hermione and walking down the hall to knock on a door.
