Hermione ?? - Discontinued

6. At the Ministry of Magic

They apparated with a pop at the Ministry of magic. They walked to the reception and Ginny requested the Lady to announce their arrival to Kingsley.

" Please wait for a while. The Minister is having an important meeting at the moment, " answered Freya, the receptionist.

" Ya sure " replied Ginny as Hermione was too lost in her thoughts to realise Freya was talking to her.

Ginny directed her to the waiting area where she sat stiffly. Ginny was feeling awful seeing her friend like this but there nothing she could do to help.

After 15 minutes, they were called into Kingsley's office. They got into the elevator where other Aurors were going to see the Minister of Magic. Hermione saw Mr Weasley and greeted him absently. He offered to accompany them, an offer they gladly accepted. When they arrived at the top level, Arthur grabbed their hands and brought them to their destination.

Many paper aeroplanes were flying here and there, some blue, some pink and other colours depending on which department they were going to or coming from. The windows were charmed for a sunny weather, which gave much light even though they were underground.

But Hermione just could not take in the beauty of the place. There were too many thoughts racing through her mind. Questions like 'Who were her biological parents?' 'Why was she give up?' and other thousands of questions were plaguing her mind. She had no answers to those questions and she was irritated knowing that she was ignorant.

She was grateful to Mr Weasley who was pulling her along otherwise god knows where she would have wandered. As they neared the office, she noticed the two Aurors guarding the door. One had broad shoulders and toned arms which looked perfect with his white shirt and blue-grey Auror robes. The other one looked like a soldier: not moving nor blinking just there breathing silently.

They both had black hair and brown eyes. They were TWINS !! The only difference would be the colour of their eyes. One had dark brown eyes while the other had light brown eyes with green specks in them. They were guarding Kingsley's office.

The one with dark brown eyes smiled and asked: " Can I help you, Arthur ?"

" Oh yes !! We are here to meet the Minister. We have a sort of appointment, Jordan " replied a smiling Arthur. The soldier-like one opened the door without further questions.

"Good morning Kingsley " greeted Arthur.

" Good morning to you too " replied Kingsley. He shook Mr Weasley's hand, then hugged Ginny. He approached Hermione but she held her hand and stopped him " Business first, My parents ?? " Her lips quivered. She was very tensed and anxious. He backed off and said " Of course, Mione " Mr Weasley sat on a puff while the two girls sat on the chair facing the Minister.

" This is the envelope. I'm busy as I have to attend another meeting right now. So I have to go. Before you open it, I'd like to tell you that they are sorry and they want to meet you. So, here you are," Ginny frowned but answered an 'OK'. Kingsley left immediately as if he was running from something.

They were left to themselves. The tension in the air was so thick that it could be cut with a knife. Hermione snatched it off the table as if someone was going to take it away from her. She tore it open. As of now, she did not care about manners or the fact that Mr Weasley was there. She just wanted to know who she really was? Who would abandon their child? And of course, her main question was why?

Ginny told her to read it aloud as she was curious and so Hermione started.......
