It was finally Friday! And Hermione was SO excited!
Today was Open House!
And her parents were coming!
Hermione couldn't hide her smile as she started walking towards the Great Hall.
Dumbledore cancelled the evening classes so everyone could have fun.
"Oh, isn't this great!" Hermione smiled as she walked to the Great Hall with Ron and Harry.
"Great." Harry said sarcastically.
"Oh, Harry. I know it's not much fun for you, but you're welcome to be with me and my parents!" Hermione smiled.
"Mine too!" Ron smiled.
"Thanks guys." Harry gave a small half-smile.
"Before we let the parents and guardians in, I wish everyone to have a fun time! But also remember the rules!" Dumbledore smiled before he nodded to Filch, who opened the doors.
All the parents piled into the Great Hall from the small corridor outside.
The students were excited and a little loud.
Two people caught everyone's eyes though.
A woman with elegant long dark hair, pale skin, and dark eyes.
And a man with long blonde hair, pale skin, and dark, hard eyes.
Narcissa and Lucius Malfoy.
"Hello, Draco." Lucius greeted.
"Hello Father, Mother." Draco greeted back.
Everyone in Slytherin had their parents and guardians with them except one.
Richard Grayson took a sip of his pumpkin juice.
He had a noticeable frown on his face; it was so uncharacteristic of him.
"What's the matter, Grayson? Parents not coming?" Draco sneered.
"Now Draco, let's not make fun of the less fortunate." Lucius said, looking at Richard.
"Mr. Malfoy, I wouldn't talk to my son like that." a smooth, silky, dangerous voice said from behind Richard.
Richard quickly whipped around to see his guardian there.
"Bruce!" Richard had a wide smile on.
He quickly got up and hugged the tall man.
Bruce gave a deep laugh while he patted Richard's head.
"Hey there sport." Bruce smirked.
If everyone wasn't looking at the Slytherin table, they were now.
Bruce Wayne was a pure-blood that came from a long line of ancient wizards.
He was the most influential and rich wizard in all of the world!
Compared to him, the Malfoys' looked like commoners.
"Mr. Wayne, I was not aware that you had a son." Lucius said.
"I adopted him quite a while ago. It's been what...6 years? Yes, that sounds right. I do hate the press." Bruce explained.
"You're dad is Bruce Wayne?!" Roy gasped.
"Adopted." Richard said, glaring.
"Richard." Bruce warned.
Richard looked down, "Sorry."
"It's fine, however, be nice." Bruce said.
"Is Alfred here too?" Richard asked.
"Yes, I believe he is conversing with a few people right now. The Longbottoms, if I remember correctly." Bruce explained.
Richard nodded.
"So, this must be Roy Harper that I've heard about." Bruce said, looking at Roy.
"Yep!" Richard smiled, "And this is his dad, Oliver Queen. And his mother, Dinah Lance."
"Hello, nice to meet you two." Bruce said, shaking their hands, and kissing Dinah's hand.
"Nice to meet you too." Dinah chuckled lightly.
"Now, Richard, where is your teacher? I want to know how you're doing academically." Bruce said.
Richard got up from his seat and grabbed Bruce's hand and lead him to the Teacher's Table.
"Bruce, this is Professor Snape, he's my Head-of-House!" Richard smiled once he lead Bruce to said man's seat.
"Hello, Mr. Wayne." Severus Snape said, and shook his hand.
"Hello, Professor." Bruce smiled, shaking his hand.
"So, you're his Potions teacher too, correct?" Bruce asked.
"Yes." Severus confirmed.
"How is he on his Potions?" Bruce asked.
"I believe he is the second best in his class." Snape said.
"Good. I expect nothing less than his very best." Bruce informed him.
"The only complaint I have for him is that he tends to hug me every time he sees me." Snape said.
Bruce gave a laugh.
"That's Richard for you. He came from a close-knit family. Still sometimes surprises me when he hugs me." Bruce said.
Severus nodded.
"Oh! We have to go meet Hermione!" Richard jumped up and down.
"Richard!" Bruce yelled as Richard pulled him over to the Gryffindor Table.
"Richard that was very rude!" Bruce scolded.
"Heya, Richard!" Hermione smiled.
"Bruce, this is Hermione Granger. Hermione, this is my adopted father, Bruce." Richard introduced them.
"Hello, Bruce!" Hermione greeted.
"Nice to meet you young lady." Bruce shook her hand.
"These are my parents." Hermione introduced her mother and father.
"Bruce, Hermione likes to read, and I was wondering if you could send her some books." Richard said.
"Sure." Bruce smiled.
"Thank you!" Hermione hugged Bruce tightly.
