Hermione's POV

I'm at the passenger seat, looking out the window as we pass by buildings and sometimes come across some trees planted near the pathway where people either walk or ride bicycles.

I glanced at Harry who is driving and gave his hand — which was hoding mine and gave it a squeeze, and a smile crept up his face. He picked up my hand and gave it a gentle kiss, lingering for a few seconds.

"Just a few more minutes and we'll be there." He said eyes flickering to me then back to the road ahead.

"I know. I can hardly believe it though. I mean who would've thought we'd really do this? I'm so glad we agreed on this decision."I smiled fondly at him. We always talk and open up about how we feel about things and before we make a decision.

Soon enough we parked infront of the building,I took a deep breath as Harry turned off the engine and got out to my side and opened my door.

I gave him a kiss on the cheeks and thanked him. He took my hand in his and gave me a reassuring smile.

" Come on love,someone's waiting for us." He whispered and tilted his head at towards the building.I willingly follow as he lead me inside and tightened my hold on him.

As we enter the building, we are greeted by the sight of children running, while some kids were at the living room playing with their toys.

One child in particular, caught my attention. It was a little girl — maybe four or five years old, she was on the floor looking at the pictures printed on the book. She's wearing a lavender sweater and black leggings,her hair was long and a dark brown color. Her back was to us so we couldn't see her face.

I slowly approached the girl and crouched to her level infront of her. As she glanced up at me, I was mesmerized by her beauty, she had chocolate brown eyes,long black lashes and a cute button nose. She was truly beautiful.

"Hi Sweetie,What's your name?" I asked her gently. Harry was seated on the couch in the other side of the room,quietly talking with an older woman,who I assumed works at this adoption centre. We made eye contact and I noticed that his eyes already held love and adoration for the little girl.

"Lillian,but they call me Lily." She answered shyly.

"Nice to meet you Lily. I'm Hermione." She was still holding the book in her hands,and an idea popped in my head.

"Do you want me to read to you?" I asked and nodded to the book she held. She nodded shyly and looked at me through her lashes. I took the book and gestured for her to come near me. She complied and snuggle up to me getting comfortable.

I spent a few minutes of reading, and as I finished the book I glanced at her and noticed she was sleeping. I put the book aside and gently scooped her in my arms, she shifted but didn't wake up.

I slowly made my way to where Harry was seated and mouthed 'she's the one' at him. He met me halfway and kissed us both on the top of our heads.

"I'll go sign the papers." He murmured in my ear. He went to the office to sign the papers and talk about Lily and the adoption.

The papers were already signed,but Me and Harry are still at the centre. Lily already woke up and was now playing with my hair. I introduced them earlier when Harry stepped out of the office.

"Lily,how would you feel if you live with us now?" I asked slowly. Her face scrunched up as she thought hard about what I just said.

"Really?" Lily whispered and looked at me with her eyes glistening.

I could only nod and embrace her,holding her tightly to my chest and stroking her hair. I let a few tears out,and felt Harry's arms around my shoulders hugging us and giving Lily kisses all over her face.

"Welcome to the Family Lily." Harry whispered and holding us in his arms.
