In 1990 shortly before their daughters birthday September 19, Mrs. Granger would unexpectedly receive a letter in the post from Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Albus Dumbledore, this letter would change her life. The letter told her and her husband that their daughter, Hermione Granger was a witch and she was old enough to begin her education at Hogwarts where she will study magic. Due to both her and her husband being Muggles their daughter is a Muggle-born witch, though she has a magical gene that was lost many generations back in her family but resurfaced with her conception. Both Hermione's parents were proud of their daughter, and did not take badly to the discovery of her being a witch.

[edit] 1992-1996

In 1992, Mrs. Granger and her husband accompanied their daughter to Diagon Alley to purchase school supplies, and met her friends Harry and Ron Weasley, as well as Ron's family. Arthur Weasley was delighted to meet them, as he has a fascination for the Muggle world, and took the Grangers out for a drink.^[3] Proud of their daughter, Mrs. and Mr. Granger correspond with Hermione by owl post while she is at school^[4], and took her for a holiday in France^[5]. They planned to take her skiing during the Christmas Holidays of 1995, but Hermione cancelled and instead ended up going to 12 Grimmauld Place to cheer up Harry, who had been refusing to speak to any of the house's occupants^[4] and spend Christmas with the Weasley family.

[edit] 1997-1998

In 1997, Hermione modified her mother's memory so that she believed she was Monica Wilkins, who did not have a daughter and who wanted to live in Australia, as well as her father so that he believed he was Wendell Wilkins. This was to protect her parents from Death Eaters during the worst of the Second Wizarding War, as their daughter was very close friends with Harry Potter and she was a muggle-born. Also if the event ever occurred where her parents were identified and tortured for information, they would not be able to give any memory of their daughter.^[6]

Sometime after the war ended in 1998, Hermione found her parents and restored their memories back to their original state. Later on in her life she would become a grandmother to Rose and Hugo Weasley and the mother-in-law of Ron Weasley, her daughter's boyfriend.
