《'Granger' Family Reunion》The Second Ball On The Sixth Night

"If I didn't know better, I'd say she's a witch."
*
This time, Hermione, Draco, Scorpius, and Blaise sat at the table as the older Zabinis hid their age very well as they gracefully waltzed around the dance floor. As everyone else felt very much intimidated by them, they pretty much had the music and floor to themselves. This would've bothered Sheila, but she had more important things to worry about, tonight.
"Sheila, can't this wait for tomorrow? I'm hungry and want to eat." Madeline whined.
"Madeline. We've been through this. Hermione has to let her guard down soon. We have to be there when she does." Sheila whispered back, staring at Hermione's table but pretending to look at a menu.
"You know there's no such thing as magic, right?"
"I wouldn't bet on it." Sheila muttered under her breath.

Meanwhile, Hermione and Draco had noticed Sheila staring at their table but didn't think much of it. After all, they didn't realise that she overheard their conversation with her parents.
So, the had noticed Sheila's quite obvious glares and glances, but they just assumed she was just being her usual grumpy self. So they ignored her.
Blaise, once again had brought Scorpio to the food table where they stayed the rest of the evening.
The older Zabini's finally sat down beside their daughter and let other people get up and start to dance as a new pop song came on. Draco shook his head and muttered "Muggle music" under his breath, only to be playfully slapped by Hermione.
"So." Hermione's mum lowered her voice, "Scorpio is going to Hogwarts?"
"Oh! Yes!" Hermione replies joyfully, the memories of that morning flooding into her mind as she retold the story with her parents sighing and laughing at just the right parts.

However, Sheila immediately started to get suspicious the moment Hermione's mum lowered her voice and she slowly crept towards their table just in time for her to hear the part of Scorpio's first display of accidental magic. Wait. What?
No one seemed bothered by the fact that she had just said Scorpio showed signs of magic, in fact Draco even looked ... proud? And it didn't look like they were joking.
She glanced over to the food table where Blaise and Scorpio were. They seemed normal - wait. Was that a stick in his pocket? He saw her looking and self-consciously turned away to face Scorpio once more.
But why would he carry a stick in his pocket unless - it was a stick. It was a wand.
So magic was real. And Hermione and her family were living proof.
Unfortunately for Sheila, Madeline had left to get food before the conversation even started. So now she had no way to prove it.
If she went and told everyone, they would think she was crazy and Hermione would probably erase her memory or something.
No.
She had to prove it herself. Alone.
Then she realised. What if she caught Hermione admitting she was a witch on tape! Of course, this would require Sheila to ... "stalk" them for a while. But to get Hermione humiliated in front of everyone, just as Hermione humiliated her at the restaurant, it was a price she was willing to pay.
She was going to prove that Hermione was a witch, even if it was the last thing she does.

Again from Scratch Saga: Izmittor Unchained
If someone precious to you needed your help, would you extend it? Would you still do it if it costs you your peace and perhaps even your life? For Tercius, a man mysteriously reborn nearly thirteen years ago, there was only one answer to both questions. Feeling compelled, he sets out to journey to the northern Sogea and its infamous Western Izmittor mountain range, a natural stronghold of sky tearing mountains and deep canyons. Legends about the place abounded, but he knew without a doubt that the hidden valleys, rushing rivers, thick forests, and desolate landscapes hid powerful predators, the likes of which stalk the harsh terrains for an easy source of meat and bones. The many natural dangers of Western Izmittor would be hard enough to navigate safely for a lone traveler, but to make matters worse Tercius had enemies in the heights of Western Izmittor, humans and spirits who would see him dead if they ever learned of his true connection to the Pyramid of Tergaron and the Society of the Magi. To make things even more difficult, he also had to ensure that the true extent of his own Innate Skills remained hidden, for if the prying eyes of the world fell on him and his many secrets came to light, then he would never again know a day of peace. Can one reborn man manage to keep his secrets and still succeed in doing what his conscience compels him to? Will he have to choose one over the other? And can he do any of it without reigniting the sparks of a planetary war the likes of which had not been seen in millennia? Follow Tercius’ story and find out! *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** This story is a continuation of Again from Scratch, a story of mine also posted on RR.
