Author’s note: Okay, before we start I’d like to clarify some things, the war didn’t happen because Dumbledore used… Let’s say some kind of extreme methods to get some information from Slughorn about Voldemort’s Horcruxes, so they destroyed Voldemort's chances to resurrect.
• James isn’t alive, so, there’s no cheating, don’t worry.
Pairing: Harry/Lily Evans/Hermione
Hermione Jane Granger could say that she has a good life, even if it didn’t turn out to be as she expected it to be when she was younger, during those days she was dreaming of things like becoming a doctor, a lawyer, or maybe even an engineer, one of those careers which parents always encourage their children to look up to as they are paid quite well compared to others.
Hermione always excelled at the things she did in life, and studies aren’t an exception, she was the best amongst all the students during her early school days, and she was even classified as the most promising student of her generation, but all that came with a bad side, none of her classmates liked her, she was always lonely, she always felt bad because of that, even if she was good at her studies, she was longing for those moments with friends, but she had none.
When she was around twelve and already out of elementary school, she was ready to face the next phase of her studies, her teenage years were about to start, and she was thinking that things would probably get worse for her, the bullying the loneliness, her hormones were crazy during that time.
But everything changed when she received a mysterious letter, that looked more like a prank, Hermione thought that one of the many persons that used to bully her in school sent that letter as some sort of prank, they had read many times the things she used to write at the end of her notebooks, she was dreaming about a place where all her dreams could come true, a place where magic was normal, at that time there was something that she had been hiding to her parents for a long time, she was obsessed with magic, but she couldn’t tell them, her parents were so… They have the "scientific mentality", in a few words you need to prove them why you believe in something and let’s say that believing in things like magic, dragons and all that kind of stuff sounded like a fantasy for them.
But Hermione always thought that there was something more, she didn’t know how to explain it, there was a time when some girls were bullying her in the girl’s bathroom, they were mocking her due to her teeth, but Hermione couldn’t do anything against them, it was three against one and she didn’t want to end up like many of the persons who dared to fight against those girls.
Still, Hermione was frustrated and angry, and if it was some kind of miracle, the water valve of the hand washers got out of control and the only ones who got covered in water were the bullies, who ended up being mocked by the whole school, Hermione was surprised that something like that happened but she thought that something broke at the right time.
But that wasn’t the last time something weird happened, there was one time that she was getting out of the school and she was waiting for her turn to pass to the other side of the street, she respected the rules and even if there wasn’t any car on the road while there’s a red light, she still waits for the green light to come so she could get her chance to pass to the other side, but animals don’t follow those rules.
A cat decided to pass in the middle of the street during a red light and a car was moving in that direction at a fast speed, Hermione was prepared to see the cat getting run over but she was also wishing that there was a way that the car could stop, but at that velocity seemed impossible, and yet… It happened, the car stopped right in front of the cat who quickly moved to the sidewalk.
Hermione knew that there was something strange going on but she decided to keep it all in secret, she knew that if she told her parents about this they would think she’s crazy, so, she decided to keep that to herself but when that letter came even if she thought that it was just a hoax she decided to keep it, that continued feeding the fantasy that she had.
But everything changed one evening when a beautiful redhaired woman came to visit them, she seemed to have the same age as her parents, her name is Lily Potter, and she told them about the letter that she received, her parents were in shock, they couldn’t believe that something like that could exist and they were about to kick the redhaired woman until Hermione confessed all those strange moments that happened during her whole life.
The redhaired woman even gave the parents a show of what magic can do, she used a wandless spell to move their curtains, close their windows and open their doors, and that’s the moment where Hermione’s life changed forever, and it was all thanks to that amazing woman who told her about the most important wizarding school in Britain, she had been accepted since birth, the older redhead works as potions teacher in that school, so, that wasn’t going to be the first time that they were going to meet each other again.
And she was right, the next week, she came back but she was being accompanied by another person, it was a boy around Hermione’s age, with raven hair and green eyes just like professor Potter, Hermione thought that he was cute and most of all, he was pretty nice.
It seems like professor Potter was going to take her and her parents to the magical world, but to be more precise to Diagon’s Alley, they were going to buy the supplies for the school year, Hermione got to know the boy better and she could quickly found out that he was professor Potter’s son, Harry Potter.
She was happy that she could finally talk with another person around her age without any trouble, he was pretty humble and nice, and Hermione’s surprise got bigger once they got into Diagon Alley, she discovered that Harry was some kind of celebrity.
He was pretty shy about it, but he told her that it seems that he had killed the strongest wizard of the last century when he was a baby, Hermione was surprised once she knew that, for a famous person, he was humble and he also seemed to hate the fact that he was well known for something that he did when he was a baby, still, Hermione was amazed and once she got her magical books and some others that contained the history of the wizarding world, she studied the part where the Harry Potter history came.
And then she understood, it seems like Harry was part of a prophecy alongside another kid named Neville, but the dark lord targeted the Potters, he instantly killed Harry’s father and just injured his mother, it seems like he wanted to let the woman live so she could live with the regret of seeing her loved ones dead, Voldemort told her that this attack was her fault for being a mud-blood, but that plan backfired at the dark lord, when he conjured the killer course it fired back at him and the theories about what happened are getting weirder and weirder, what really happened remains as a mystery even to this day.
But the most accepted theory is that Harry is destined to become the most powerful wizard of all time, even more, powerful than Merlin as he defeated the enemy that none had defeated before, the death.
Hermione decided to get to know Harry more and luckily, she was the first person that he searched for on the Hogwarts express, they were quickly accompanied by Harry’s friends, Neville and Ron who quickly ended up becoming her friends too.
And that was the start for Hermione and her new life, the seven years she spent at Hogwarts were the best ones of her life, she lived amazing adventures there, she loved, she fought, and most of all, she learned lots of things and enjoyed her time there, and it was all thanks to Harry.
Harry and Hermione were like some kind of younger versions of Harry’s parents, everyone expected Hermione to surpass the redhead, but Hermione didn’t want that, she wanted to learn as much as she could from the older redhead, she was her idol.
As for Harry everyone saw him as a carbon copy of his father (who looked like him) married the smartest witch of his generation and Hermione was also the smartest witch of her generation, Hermione was surprised that even after all those years Lily Potter remained single, as for Harry and Hermione’s relationship, they always saw each other as friends even if people around the whole school and even Britain thanks to the newspapers thought of them as the next power couple, they thought that it was rubbish.
Yes, it was rubbish until it wasn’t anymore, on their last years of education, there was some kind of attraction between each other, there was a tension in the air, everyone knew about their feelings excepted them, it seems like the continued denying the way they felt towards each other.
That was until they graduated, that day Harry decided to confess what he felt towards Hermione and he was expecting her to reject him, but she accepted his feelings, she wanted to be with him too, and the press around the wizarding world was going like crazy.
And for a few months, things were great amongst them, until…
- Wait… Hermione! – Harry said as he was getting out of the room.
Harry barely had time to take his glasses, he was changing at the moment Hermione decided that she already had enough, he was using a pair of blue jeans and black shoes, he wasn’t wearing a shirt so his naked and worked chest was left on the open for the world to see it.
- I don’t want to hear it anymore Harry… Just, leave me alone! – Hermione complained as she faced him before she was ready to get out of the flat they shared.
Hermione was using a white dress that reached her knees so, her long legs could be seen, she was using white shoes too, she was moving around the place trying to get out of here.
They moved together the moment they decided to date, it was the perfect chance for both of them and their careers, their flat was close to the ministry, Hermione was pursuing a political career and Harry was doing a master’s degree in "Defense against the dark arts" in the "advanced studies" department at the ministry, he even got a scholarship due to the amazing grades that he got in that subject back in Hogwarts.
But lately, they had been having problems, Harry thought that her complaints didn’t make sense and Hermione felt that she wasn’t being taken seriously, so, she thought that she already had enough, Harry knew that there was more behind that, but there was no point in telling her, she didn't want to discuss it, she finally got on the door and she opened it.
Harry and Hermione were surprised to find another person outside of their flat, but it wasn’t a stranger.
- Professor Potter! – Hermione said surprised – I’m sorry… But I’m in kind of a hurry, please excuse me – Hermione mumbled as she walked past the red-haired woman.
Lily was surprised about what was happening here, she was dressed in a pair of blue jeans that hugged her worked legs, her nice-sized rear, and her slim waist, she was also wearing, a yellow tight blouse that hugged her big breasts and a pair of black stilettos, she was the perfect definition of a milf, but there was another thing happening here, her son tried to reach for his girlfriend, but she quickly apparated away.
- Wait! – That was the only thing Harry managed to say after he saw his girlfriend disappearing and he didn’t know where she was heading right now.
Lily remained in silence for a few moments, she moved towards her son and placed a hand on his shoulder, he was taken by surprise by this action, but he quickly calmed.
- I’m sorry for ignoring you, mom… As you can see, there are some problems between me and Hermione – Harry said a little embarrassed that his mother saw all this scene.
The older woman smiled at him and caressed his cheek.
- Don’t worry honey… Why don’t you tell me what’s happening? Maybe I can help you to solve this problem, after all, I have some experience in this subject, many would think that your father and I had the perfect marriage but it wasn’t all flowers and rainbows, you know? – Lily told him and he nodded.
Harry had let his mother enter, he closed the door and led her to the living room.
- Do you want some tea mom? – Asked Harry calmly.
- Yes dear, do you have some green one? – Lily said as she accommodated on a couch.
- Yes… I’ll bring it in a few moments – Harry smiled at his mother and she nodded.
Lily was surprised by the sight, it seems like her son hadn’t realized that he was practically half-naked, she couldn’t help but feel a little nostalgic about this, he reminded her too much of her former husband, she was quite proud of her son, beyond his academical achievements, he was handsome, all parents like to brag about their children’s appearance, after all, Lily couldn’t deny that her boy was handsome, Hermione was lucky to have him if only she could have James back with her.
- Here it is mom… - Harry said as he brought up the tea to his mother, it seems like he already had some boiled water, he was planning to drink it with Hermione but she was too angry for that right now.
- Thank you, Harry… And not that I’m complaining but… Where’s your shirt? You’re going to get burned if tea falls on your chest – Asked Lily with a slight smirk on her face.
Harry look at himself and he groaned, his mother was right, he felt embarrassed and he excused himself towards his bedroom, Lily couldn’t help but smile at her son’s antics, he was so much like his father.
- Stop thinking about that! – Lily mumbled as she was getting worried that she was comparing her son and her former husband.
Lily loved her son, there was no doubt about that, but every day that passed he seemed to become more and more like his father, she tried to deny that they didn’t have things in common, but that was a lie, they were so much alike, and that worried Lily, because James was the only person that possessed the things that she was looking for in a man, but Harry was getting so much like him that it was scary.
She was trying to deny that she was getting attracted to her own son as she knew that there was no way that something like that could happen even in the wizarding world, magical people indeed have different values, but Lily was raised by muggles and she was still attached to those norms like avoiding committing incest, she still saw it as a sin.
Lily was so immersed in her thoughts until she realized that Harry was already there, he was wearing a white shirt now.
- I’m sorry – He said a little embarrassed.
- Don’t worry about it… Like I’ve said before I wasn’t complaining I was just worried – She winked at him and he couldn’t help but blush, his mother always liked to act kind of flirty with him, but he knew that she was just joking.
They remained in silence for a few moments, until Lily decided to speak.
- Care to tell me what’s the problem between you and Hermione? – Asked Lily curious about their relationship, she thought that they were great together.
Harry remained in silence for a few moments, he felt a little embarrassed, this wasn’t something that you usually discuss with your mother, he loved his mother, there was no doubt about it, but there are some things that she didn’t have to know, he didn’t want her to see him as some kind of monster.
