Granger Family Reunion

Chapter 2

December 10th

Hermione finished packing all of the suitcases before having their house elf, Anna, help her load them in the car.

"Thanks Anna," Hermione smiled at the house elf. The house elf nodded and smiled at her before walking back into the mansion, he pale blue dress bouncing with every step. Anna was a free elf, and was paid to work for the Malfoy's.

Hermione slid into the drivers seat of her brand new 2017 black Porsche Panamera, checking in the back seat to make sure everything was fine. She gave a satisfied smile at what she saw, and turned to face the front of the car again before buckling her seat belt. She started the engine and smoothly pulled out of the long driveway. The five hour car drive to the Emerald Hotel had officially begun.

----------------------------------------------

Ashley and her family finally arrived at the grand hotel. She and Jenna stepped out of the car and looked around in awe. The outside of the hotel was gorgeous, white stone going five stories high, huge windows, and beautiful grounds.

"Here! Take these!"Ashley yelled to the nearest assistent. The assistent huffed a sigh that Ashley didn't hear and stacked the family's bags onto his cart.

"What room?" he asked.

"I don't know, just keep close until we find out." The assistent looked at her with disdain clearly etched across his face, but did as she said.

"Oh my gosh! Veronica! Britney! Is it you!?" Ashley squealed. Two girls who looked about 22 turned at he sound of their names.

"Ashely!" they both yelled. They ran to each other and hugged.

The two twins looked at their cousin and both said," You look great!".

"So do you!" replied Ashley. Both girls were wearing very short, tight dresses, the same shade of red, with makeup caked on their face.

"Is Hermione here yet?" asked Veronica, earning a shake of the head from Ashley.

"Not that I've seen. Maybe she won't show up!" Ashley said excitedly.

Just then, a 2017 red Lamborghini pulled up. Out stepped Aunt Monica and Uncle Wendell. They unloaded their suitcases and walked over to the group.

"Where's Hermione?" asked Tara, Ashley's Mom.

"She'll be here any minute. She had quite a long drive. She told me we can all check in before she gets here," replied Aunt Monica.

The Grangers went through the front doors into the large lobby, where a dark oak circular desk sat in the middle of the spacious room. A happy looking plump old lady smiled at them from behind the counter.

"How may I help you" she said.

"We have rooms reserved under Granger," Aunt Monica said politely.

"Right. Here you are. Rooms 170, 171, 172, 173, and 174. Fourth floor. Oh, and make sure not to go up to the fifth floor. It is off limits to guests. You will be escorted out if any attempt to go up there is done. Enjoy your stay at the Emerald Hotel."

"Thank you," said Grandmother, smiling at the lady.

"Hermione's just pulling up the block! Will you please take these bags to rooms 170, 171, 172, 173, and 174? Thank you!" Aunt Monica said looking at two assistants by the desk. They nodded there heads, and the Granger clan went back outside the lobby to greet Hermione.
