Inheritance
Tears were soon replaced by smiles as Hermione slid her small, youthful fingers over the cover and binding of her newly inherited book.
"Wow, is this really mine now?" Her father nodded, his light expression reassuring her saddened heart. Young Hermione looked down at the book in her hands, radiating with memories of her late grandmother. She smiled, her belly filling up with happiness as she remembered how her grandmother used to read her stories from this book. Opening the book to the first page, Hermione sniffed lightly as she could smell her grandmother's scent within the pages.
She turned to her father who was watching her with great interest, proud that his daughter cherished such a treasure.
"Daddy, would you read it to me?" Hermione asked. Her father nodded, and he lightly took the book from her grasp. Hermione moved to sit next to him, snuggling against his shoulder.
"Soon, pumpkin, you'll be able to read this on your own," he said, and Hermione nodded next to him.
Jubilantly, she replied, "I know, Daddy, but for now, I think Grandma wants you to read it."
He nodded. He took in a deep breath and read title page with a shining eyes. "The Once and Future King, by T.H. White." Soon, Hermione gazed into space, her content smile beaming brighter.
