Chapter Two: Back to Hogwarts
Rather than staying at Grimmauld Place, Hermione and Eleanor stayed at the Edwards Manor. The two girls invited Ginny, however she choose to stay with her parents. It was early morning when both girls woke up and decided to eat breakfast together, when Evelyn decided to take a seat and discuss some things with the girls.
"I know you ladies have all your plans with studying, and it is good that you are focusing on your education, but take some times to enjoy your lives. In a safe way, I do not want to hear another thing about one of you risking your lives. Especially with everything happening, you guys are going to hear a lot of things, but keep your heads up. Enjoy your school years and look out for each other." Evelyn had always considered Hermione as her own, ever since she met the girl when she was twelve. Knowing she was a muggle- born, Evelyn was happy to consider Hermione and led her a helping hand.
"Thank you, Mrs. Edward." Hermione thanked.
"Oh sweetie, you can call me Evelyn," Evelyn gave the girls a quick hug before disappearing into the hallways.
"Do you really think there is gonna be a war, Mione?" Eleanor asked softly, pushing the eggs on her plate.
"As much as I don't want to think so, but logically, I think there is going to be one. The scary part is not knowing when it will happen." Hermione grabbed her friend's hand. "But we'll be together, no matter what."
"No matter what."

Platform 9 and 3/4 was packed as usual, but for some reason, this time there seemed to be more people. Order members were everywhere, as Thomas, Evelyn and Theodore escorted the two girls to where the rest of the Order was. Hermione ran ahead to meet with Harry and Ron, while the Edwards stayed back to say their goodbyes to one another. Evelyn removed some of the hairs from Eleanor's face.
"Edwards." Eleanor and Evelyn looked at the source of the voice, to see Lucius Malfoy standing with his son and wife. Thomas cleared his throat before nodding his head.
"Malfoy, doing well, I suppose?" Thomas stepped forward to shake hands with Lucius Malfoy.
"Well enough. This must be Miss. Eleanor, I've heard a lot about you. All well. I am surprised that my son and yourself aren't close friends." Eleanor glanced over at Draco Malfoy, whom was already staring back at her.
"Different houses, I supposes." Eleanor answered, as she felt her Uncle's hand fall upon her shoulder. Lucius nodded his head, before heading off with his family. Once the family was out of earshot, Evelyn turned her daughter around to look at her.
"Eleanor, you have to promise me, whatever the Malfoy boy is up to, you will not befriend him. Stick with Hermione or anyone else, but don't go to his folk. Promise Eleanor. Promise me, you will not speak to the boy." Evelyn looked at her daughter. Thomas placed a hand on his wife's shoulder.
