The next day was rather busy, Hermione was sick again and even though as the month came to an end it became less frequent it did happen and today she was feeling the effects. She allowed Lidia to go visit Luna again even though she wouldn’t talk to the other woman, she really just wanted the child to have fun and not stand in the doorway watching her vomit. Loki’s presence was requested in Asguard again and he had left only a few minute previous so she had the house to herself.
When her stomach finally calmed down she choked down a few saltines and a cup of tea and then sat down with the morning paper. She read through the usual crap that littered the front page, who was marrying who, what new teacher would be taking over what position at Hogwarts, what new heartthrob had taken hold of the youth and what the poor sod who had pissed off Rita Skeeter was doing with his life. Hermione chuckled at the stories she read and was getting ready to put it down so she could begin cleaning when an ad caught her attention.
Do you have a large family?
Or do you have a growing family and you need a little help?
My name is Christie Long and I run a Nanny business in the wizarding world. I was unable to bare children and at age twenty-three I found myself divorced and alone in the world. I studied magical families at University in Ireland and realized that numerous magical families depended on House-Elves to help raise the children. House-elves are wonderful with children and house cleaning but you don’t want to stress them out too much.
I do a thorough background check on everyone who comes to work for me. I make sure that only the smartest, nicest and most creative people work for me. Whether you are merely looking for a babysitter or a full live-in nanny I have whoever you need. Feel free to send me an owl with whatever you are looking for and I will send back a few files containing pictures and information about the nannies that will fit your specifications. Hope to be working with you soon.
Hermione leaned back in her chair and looked at the paper that was spread out in front of her. A nanny, well that may not be a bad idea actually, the thought of having someone else in the house helping out with the children was pretty alluring. Loki was now helping out more and more with stuff happening in Asguard (how he gained Thor’s trust she would never know) and was gone long hours. It would be nice to have another person there. She contemplated her decision for a few minutes but finally she decided that it would only help her in the end. She had been hoping to write a book on the horrors of the war for a few years now and with the help of another person she would be able to. She grabbed a piece of parchment and wrote out what it was that she and Loki would be looking for in a nanny.
Dear Miss Long,
My name is Hermione Granger and I am the proud mother of a six year old little girl named Lidia. I am also ten-weeks pregnant with my second child, my fiancée works long hours and sometimes days out of the country and my little Lidia is not very happy about the baby. I would like to get back to writing the book I started a few years ago and I also want nothing more than to make sure that Lidia doesn’t feel forgotten.
What my fiancée and I are looking for in a nanny is someone that is smart and willing to help broaden Lidia’s mind and experiences. She needs to be able to have fun with her too, be open-minded, creative and have a loving and adventurous spirit. I need her or him to be able to keep order in the house, keep it cleaned up and able to handle anything that is thrown his or her way. My daughter is very special...my fiancée is...well...he is Loki and she has inherited his mischievous nature and magical abilities on top of the magical abilities that she had inherited as a witch. I understand if you think it is too much of a risk or hassle to send out information but I thank you for considering. As for the living situation, I do have a spare room if it is needed but she/he wouldn’t have to live with us. I look forward to hearing from you.
-Hermione Granger.
Hermione sent out the letter and then with a sigh she made her way to the upstairs bathroom to begin work in there. Today was the perfect day to spend indoors cleaning, the rain was pounding the house and there was no one home, perfect.
~~((@))~~
Loki walked out of the castle with a sneer on his face. He glared at anyone who looked at him, he wasn’t really in a bad mood but the sheep that called this place home liked to give him disapproving looks when he visited. If they only knew how much of their lives he held in his hands now, if they knew that their beloved Thor came to him for counsel before he did anything. Thor may sit on the throne but Loki made most of the decisions now, he pulled the strings and now that Sif was pregnant Thor was depending on him more and more. He sneered as he started out on the bridge that would lead him to Heimdall and then bring him back to his family.
Thor had called him to Asguard acting as if the whole nine realms were going to explode. Come to find out they just wanted him to clean out his room so they could turn it in to the baby suite. He saw the irony now that this had happened they would have to kick Lidia out of her room for the baby and Hermione was worried she would be upset. When Loki walked in to his childhood bedroom, a bedroom that had always been his since he was adopted he knew how his little Lidia would feel. At his age he shouldn’t think twice about cleaning out a room he never used and yet he felt...betrayed...jealous even that this would no longer be only his bedroom.
“Heimdall” He greeted as he walked in to the circular building “I am ready to go home”
“Something is coming” Heimdall said gravelly.
“What is coming?” Loki asked, Heimdall, though not a bad guy was annoyingly cryptic sometimes.
“Beware of what is to come, Loki” The dark man answered “It will be painful”
“Are you going to tell me what it is that will be painful or are you going to continue to be vague and creepy?” Loki asked with an annoyed huff “If so just let me go home”
“I don’t know” He answered “All I can say is to beware of the man with the changing eyes”
“Changing eyes?” Loki repeated “Changing eyes?” He shook his head hard “What do they change in to...ears?!”
“I see blue and then gold...that’s all” Heimdall was obviously upset with his own lack of answer “They change”
“Okay” Loki said “Thank you for your insight. May I go home now?”
“Safe journey, as always” Heimdall answered.
~~((@))~~
“A nanny?” Loki asked, uncertainty written all over his features “Why would we need a nanny, you’ll be home with them”
“Wow...” Hermione laughed “That was nice. Okay, I know that my career change from Ministry to writer means I will be home a hell of a lot more than I was before but I will need some time to myself”
“Okay” He held up his hands “I didn’t mean that to sound as bad as it did. But honey, you can write while I’m home and taking care of them”
“But what if I want to be with you when your home?” She asked “Loki, it’s not as bad as you think. She or he would be able to help me keep the house clean, take care of the kids and get dinner on the table. Please?” She pouted.
“I had a nanny” He said “And I tried to take over the world and killed many people...does that tell you something?”
“Loki” She said with a strained smile on her face, she tried very hard weather good or bad to not remember the terror and destruction that he had caused others “The baby will be yours so there is always the option that could happen but it’s also part me which means it’s part pure perfection” He snorted and made her laugh “Please”
“I’m not saying yes” He told her pulling her against him and kissing the top of her head “But I won’t say no either. Let’s look at the files and see what they have to offer us”
Hermione wasn’t completely happy with the answer but it was better than an outright no. She hated having to resort to asking him but he was here this time which meant that not all the decisions were left up to her and if they were to be married then they needed to make choices together. She pulled the first file towards her and looked at him before she opened it looking at the photo inside. The young witch in the photo winked at Loki and smiled at Hermione, even the photo gave her an annoyed look.
Name: Keri Willis
Age: 19
Occupation: Full Time Nanny/ Part Time Student
About: I am studious and fair. I love children and can’t wait to have my own but until then I will learn about them fully so I can be a good mother. I don’t mind living with the family or on my own whichever suits them will suit me just fine, I have a good family that have all sorts of functions and get togethers that the children would be able to attend. I would treat your children as if they were my own and love them the same way.
“Oh look” Hermione said as Loki grinned flirtatiously at the picture “There is a list of likes and dislikes. She likes painting and stealing husbands but dislikes spiders and attractive wives...hmm”
“It does not say she likes stealing husbands and dislikes attractive wives” Loki said reading over her shoulder “I think she’s pretty”
“She is licking the photo” Hermione pointed out “And one step away from stripping for you, is that the kind of thing you want Lidia to learn?”
“She is not licking...” He looked down “Oh good lord, she is. Maybe not then”
They went through file after file reading about young men and women that wanted to look after their kids. But they couldn’t agree on anything because there were all sorts of jealousies. Hermione never realized that she was the jealous sort until she saw her man looking at the little twenty-something’s that were flirting with their eyes...then she wanted to find them and make sure they never see the light of day again. In the same sense Loki reacted the same way when one of the males flirted with her through a picture, what a pair they made.
“How about her?” He asked wiggling his brows at a big chested (really she had to put her boobs in the picture?) brunette that was giggling and bouncing “I do so like big breasted brunettes”
“Oh yes, seeing her every day while I look like a whale will do wonderful things for my self-esteem” Hermione said with a grin “How about him?” She pointed at a young man with strawberry blond hair and beautiful blue eyes and winked and licked his lips at her.
“I don’t think so!” He snarled “I would kill him the first moment he even looked at you”
“We’re never going to find someone” Hermione dropped her head to the table “What time is it?”
“Five” He answered “Lidia will be home soon. Maybe we should let her choose?”
“No” Hermione said “We should pick one ourselves”
“How about her?” Loki handed her a file.
Name: Annabelle Lewis
Age: 25
About: I am unable to have children and have decided that even though I cannot have them does not mean I can’t be around them. I spent two years traveling the world, two years at University studying General Magic then spent another year at a muggle University studying Early Childhood and Development. I was a nanny for a year and a half for a family that unfortunately decided to move to the States. They invited me but I didn’t want to leave my England, I love it here, so I chose to let them go even though I miss them I would like to find another family to love as my own.
“I like her” Hermione agreed “Okay, Annabelle will be our nanny”
“Good” He agreed “I’ll send the letter out”
Hermione was watching out the window at the darkening sky when Lidia came in. The little girl smiled at her mother, watching her watch the sky with interest she never got to see her mother just sit there staring off before. She noted that her hand was absentmindedly rubbing her belly with one hand and felt a little twinge of jealousy wrack through her.
“Mama” She said catching her attention “Remus is heading to the woods now”
“That’s good” Hermione said “Liddy-bug, I needed to talk to you about a few things” She motioned for the little girl to take a seat “I need you to be a big girl, can you do that?”
“Of course, I’m going to be a big sister” She said proudly making her smile.
“That’s very good” Hermione said “I know that I said that you wouldn’t need to give up anything for your new little brother or sister. But I...didn’t realize at the time that the baby’s room was so far away from mine and daddy’s bedroom”
“Okay” She looked like she was getting around to understanding where this conversation was going.
“Yours is right across from our room” Hermione said “I was thinking that maybe you’d like to upgrade to a big girl room, the other room is far too big for a baby and is the perfect size for a little girl who is going to be bringing friends home and having slumber parties, don’t you think?”
“NO!” She said “No, it’s not a good room...not a lovely room it’s not mine!”
“Lidia” Hermione tried.
“No” She stood “I don’t want to hear anymore. You said nothing would change...nothing!” She rubbed her eyes “You lied” Lidia turned and ran in to the kitchen, Hermione stood and ran after her.
“LIDIA” She screamed as she heard the door open “DON’T GO OUTSIDE!”
It was too late, by the time she made it in to the other room her little girl was out the door and disappearing in to the night. Loki, who had been wrestling the beast Hermione called a pet owl in to submission, heard the horrified scream that came from Hermione. He threw the owl out the window and ran down the stairs. Hermione stood in the light from the kitchen but she and her daughter froze when they heard the soft growl of the werewolf that had come out of the trees, obviously attracted by the noise.
“Lidia” Hermione said trembling from head to toe “The last dose of the Wolfsbane was dropped, he never got it...he’s dangerous...don’t move!”
Hermione knew that Lidia would never out run a werewolf, she would never be able to take him on, no spell, curse or charm in the world could subdue him. She heard Loki running through the house to get to them and her heart started to break. There were questions running through her mind, would her daughter survive the attack...would she turn...how will they treat her? Before she could make herself say anything to her daughter three things all happened at once. Lidia turned and ran as fast as she could to her mother, Loki burst from the house running to Lidia trying to and failing to throw up a wall of fire and then there was a bolt of lightening that almost speared the attacking werewolf.
Then everything stopped and there was silence and Hermione could see everything. The werewolf was standing over Thor who hit the beast with his hammer and was about to do it again. Hermione screamed for him to stop, telling him that it was Remus and that he didn’t know, he didn’t understand and to not harm him. Lidia was a few feet away from her with her arms outstretched and bottom lip quivering, her eyes showing the true terror that she was feeling. Loki was between Lidia and the werewolf, closer to the wolf than his daughter, Hermione took this all in for a few seconds before it started again.
Loki looked back at his daughter when she took off for a second time. She made it to her mother and Hermione wrapped her arms around the little girl before releasing her to the house. He turned and looked at his furious brother and then over at the snarling monster that the usually mild mannered man turned in to. He noted the eyes shifted from gold to blue and then back to gold, they changed which meant that Heimdall was right and the man with the changing eyes was Remus. Loki tuned back in to the real world in time to hear Thor scream “LOKI” and then there was a sharp, ripping pain in his right shoulder and the upper part of his chest. He heard Hermione scream and there was the taste of blood filling his mouth and throat. He realized it a few seconds later, the werewolf had just bitten him.
