Hermione Granger One Shots and Shorts

Alcoholic

You were with your family of five. You were at Diagon alley then your daughter asks you what an alcoholic is.

(-_-)

I was carrying my son Jarred with my left hand while my right hand held my middle child Bailey's while she swings it back and forth. Hermione on the other hand has her arm around our first born daughter Celia. We were walking down Diagon alley to buy her supplies for her first year at Hogwarts. Mione was supposed to go alone with her but I kept on begging her for me to tag along since I haven't been there for so long. She told me no one would take care of our 4 year old baby and Bailey while we buy Celia's supplies but I insisted that I could just bring the kids along with us. I think my puppy eyes and pout worked to my advantage since we got to tag along with them.

"Mama?" Bailey started

"Yes baby" I asked

"What's an alcoholic?" Bailey asked curiously

The question got me surprised, I didn't even know my 7 year old daughter has that long of a word in her vocabulary. I could never.

I guess she got it from her mum, all of them actually.

"See those three tall guys next to each other?" I asked as I pointed to the direction of were they were, causing to lift her arms too.

She nods as I continued "Well, an alcoholic would see five."

"Ma, but there's only one?" She asked as she became even more confused

"Wait- there's only one!" I said out loud as I was left shocked. My eyes widened at my realization. I heard my 11 year old let out a soft giggle that resembled her mum a lot.

I heard Hermione scoffed and punched me scoldingly in the arm.

She looked at me with a look that said.
'We're going to have to talk'

I gulped as I averted my eyes and as my grip on my children tightened.
