Granger Family Reunion

Traveling with the Malfoy's

Hermione's POV
I was finished packing. Draco finished packing. The kids were finished packing. We were all set up to go to the dreadful reunion. Draco was already gone and he wasn't going to be there for the first 2 days of the reunion because of a business trip in New York. The reunion was in Paris. We were going to take the private jet to get there. It takes about one hour to go to Paris from Heathrow airport in London. We boarded the plane, me and the kids and we put our luggage in the overhead bin. We were all prepared to go.

We were always surprised by the beauty of the jet, no matter how many times we traveled in it before. The exterior of the jet is pearly white with the Malfoy name written on it. The interior of the jet is modern and offers a lot of space. The seats, there are exactly 6 seats, in reserved for each member of the family. They are white leather seat that come with a fluffy blanket for each. There are six TVs for each seat. The floor of the jet is white marble. The interior is mostly white but with pop of Colors from our Hogwarts houses. The jet is equipped with food, bathrooms and all the essentials. The family loves to travel this way.

I snapped back to reality when I heard Scorpius talking to me while reading a book and I saw Lyra sleeping. I was really stressed so I had a tendency to get lost deep in my thoughts when I was nervous.

"What did you say, Scorp?" I said

"Why are you so nervous, mom?" Scorpius said, "and why are you scared of your cousin, I mean you are loving, smart, pretty and you are a witch, you didn't explain why you were so stressed and scared about them." Said Scorpius

"Well, my cousins, there are Becca and Samuel. They are kind and true and we were friends and their parents are nice and I'm excited to see them again. The reason I'm scared is because of my four other cousins." Finally said Hermione to her son

"Mom, can you elaborate a little." Said Scorpius

"Yes and be prepared to listen, my four other cousins are Halsey, Loren, Veronica and Sheila and their parents, Hiram and Lola. For some reason, that I don't know, they hate me and I would even say that they despise me." Hermione said

Scorpius nodded telling me without speaking to continue explaining why I was scared.

"These four cousins called me names, like Beaver because when I was young My two front teeth were large. After, there is Bushy because in my young days, my hair was always bushy and never tame. Know-it-all because I've always been smart and to them being smart was an insult and finally, there was the worst nickname, they could call me was a slut at only 11 years old." I said

Scorpius was too angry to say anything, he couldn't believe how her own cousins could treat her like that, so he continued to listen to his mom

"They bullied me every time I was with them, their parents were okay with them bullying me. They made my childhood hell but I never saw them again or went to the family reunion after receiving my Hogwarts letter." I finished to say, feeling relieved to have finally said my story. 

"Wow, they are mean." Said Lyra, who just woke up to hear me speaking about my cousins

"Mom, they just jealous of you, it's as simple as that." Said Scorpius.

"I know, Scorp, I know but they still scare me because I don't know what they are capable of and I don't want to relive me childhood hell." I answered

"Mom, you are beautiful, strong, intelligent and brave, remember that and you know that Dad will be there this time and he thinks the same. If they do anything, we got your back." Said Lyra

"Thank you, Ly, you should continue quoting your dad." I said enthusiastically

After this conversation with the kids, I felt my anxious behaviour fade away. Draco and the kids have this relaxing effect on me. This reunion was going to go smoothly. After talking, Lyra fell asleep again and me and Scorpius were watching a movie on one of the TVs. It didn't take long before we were landing in the airport in Paris. My family were going to be blown away and their hate wouldn't control me anymore.
