The Reunion

Chapter One

One part of the Granger family had made it to their destination after hours of driving, but it was worth the painstakingly long trip to see the beautiful Emerald Snake hotel shining above them. It was one of the most prestigious hotels in the muggle and wizarding worlds owned by non other than the infamous Malfoy Industries. It had only been within the past five years that the Malfoy name had rose to fame in the muggle world, and every girl on the planet drooled over the most wealthy and eligible bachelor Draco Malfoy. Being in front of the hotel was considered an honour to the two Granger girls sitting in the backseat of their fathers BMW, however they had no clue about the wizarding world for they had no idea there was a witch in the family and they were only muggles.

"I wonder if he'll be here," twenty-year-old Ella Granger said excitedly

"I know, me too!" replied her younger sister Jane; at eighteen she was really mature looking for her age, with beautiful wavy brown hair like her father's and ocean blue eyes reminiscent of her mother. She looked the complete opposite of her sister who had their mother's blonde hair and father's brown eyes. "He is so hot! Wouldn't it be awesome to be in the same room as him?"

"I know it totally would! Maybe one of us has a shot," Ella added slyly

"Wouldn't that be nice?" Jane scoffed sarcastically knowing there was no way in hell he would even glance their way, especially with their bushy haired cousin around. As if reading her thoughts her sister asked the very question

"Hey mum? Is Auntie Jean and Uncle Mike coming to the reunion?"

"Yes dear, so is Hermione" their mother said ushering the girls from the car

"Great" they both mumbled in unison
"Just who I want to see our bushy haired, buck toothed, know it all of a cousin." Ella whispered incredulously when they were out of earshot, to which her sister readily agreed.

Once they had collected their bags they made their way into the hotel to find the rest of the family waiting for them, the only person missing however was Hermione.

"Grandma Gael!" Jane exclaimed excitedly throwing her arms around her grandmother's neck

"How are you my dear?" Gael asked

"I'm well, you?"

"Just fine" she smiled

"Where is Hermione, Aunt Jean?" Ella asked after they all said their hellos

"She should be here shortly, there was an incident at work and it took longer than expected," Jean Granger told her niece with a smile. She knew that her niece didn't care but was merely asking to be polite. She knew all of the things her husband's family said about her beautiful daughter when they thought she couldn't hear them. None of them knew she was a witch though accept for her grandmother, which was how things were going to stay.

Fifteen minutes later Hermione walked in with her brows knit. She was not looking forward to seeing her family. She had been avoiding them for ten years and so far everything was going swimmingly, but she had run out of excuses and knew it was time to face them once again.

"Hello mum, dad, grandma." She smiled then turned to her cousins and aunts and uncles "Uncle Greg, Aunt Sherri, Ella, Jane, Aunt Mary, Uncle Walt, Jordan, Chad" she nodded at them and they all gave a hello back. Out of all her cousins she was the eldest at twenty- three. She noticed from the corner of her eye that her cousins were looking at her with open mouths.She smirked, Hermione had changed a lot since they last saw her, she no longer wore oversized jumpers, but t-shirts and jeans that hugged her in all the right places, her teeth were pearly white and perfectly straight and her hair was no longer the unruly mass of brown curls but was now tame waves that cascaded down her back. However she was still very intelligent and wouldn't hesitate to put any of her awful stuck up cousins in their place.

"How are you dear?" her grandma asked noticing her frown

"I'm well grandma, there was just a problem getting someone to take my place in the department, that's all." She said with a sigh

"Alright shall we check in?" Hermione heard her one of her uncle's say, they all nodded and headed towards the front desk. When they reached it Hermione had to do a double take when she saw who was sitting behind the desk

"Parvati?" Hermione asked with a smile on her face

"Hermione! Get your butt over here!" she cried motioning for her to come to one side of the desk and bringing her in for a hug. The other Grangers stared at the exchange in confusion

"How are you?" Hermione asked when they pulled back

"Just fine Hermione, actually I just got back from my honeymoon!"

"Oh my gosh! That's great! Do I know the lucky guy?" Hermione asked curiously wiggling her brows

"Oh yes sorry, Seamus Finnegan." Hermione's eyebrows rose and she smiled again

"Congrats Parvati, make sure he doesn't blow the house up." She giggled giving Parvati a knowing look, Parvati only laughed at the statement

"Don't worry I have fire proofed and explosion proofed the house, he can't blow things up anymore," she put more emphasis on the last word and the girls laughed some more before Parvati checked the family in

"Here you are Hermione room thirty" Hermione was grateful that she was put a floor down from the rest of her family; it made it easier for her to avoid them

"Thanks Parvati, it was so good to see you again!"

"You as well" she said with a wave

"You know her?" Ella asked with a scowl when they were out of earshot

"Yes I went to school with her." Hermione stated simply and walked towards the lift.

"I'm going to freshen up. I'll see you at dinner," she called behind her and walked into the waiting elevator.
