Mrs Granger (first name and maiden name unknown) was born somewhere in England to muggle parents, at least one of whom may have been descended from a squib. She studied for a career in dentistry. This was presumably how she met Mr Granger, who was in the same profession. She gained the prefix of 'Doctor' and later married Mr Granger.Mrs Granger became pregnant around 1978, and gave birth to a baby girl on 19 September, 1979. They named her Hermione Jean Granger, choosing 'a nice, unusual' first name because they wanted to establish how educated and intelligent they were. At some point, Mr and Mrs Granger took Hermione camping in the Forest of Dean. They also went to a theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue in London, and at least once went to Tottenham Court Road with her.In 1991, Mrs Granger and her husband were visited by a staff member from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, who gave them the letter inviting their daughter to the school. She was shocked but pleased and supportive of her daughter being a witch. Mr and Mrs Granger went to Diagon Alley to purchase her school supplies, including her wand from Ollivanders Wand Shop. They parted with Hermione after she boarded the Hogwarts Express on Platform 9 3/4.For the next school year, Mr and Mrs Granger had to purchase more school equipment for Hermione. In order to buy the supplies, they went to Gringotts Wizarding Bank to exchange Muggle money with the wizarding currency. Here they met Arthur Weasley, a wizard obsessed with Muggles, and his family, who were friends of their daughter. Arthur was fascinated by the ten-pound notes that Mr Granger had in his hand, and asked them all about their money. The Grangers went with the Weasleys to Flourish and Blotts to purchase spellbooks with their new money. Gilderoy Lockhart was there doing book signings, which Mr and Mrs Granger queued up for with the Weasleys. After Lucius Malfoy approached Arthur and began arguing, Mrs Granger and her husband watched apprehensively. Being a pure-blood supremacist, Malfoy scorned Arthur for being in the Grangers' company, glancing at them. The Grangers left with the Weasleys, and went to the Leaky Cauldron Inn, before saying farewell to the Weasleys and Harry Potter and leaving with their daughter for the Muggle world. After the school year ended, Mr and Mrs Granger took Hermione on holiday to France during the summer holidays.During the 1995-1996 school year, Mr and Mrs Granger arranged a skiing trip over the Christmas holidays, possibly in France. Hermione told them at the last minute that she wanted to stay at Hogwarts in order to study hard for her fifth year exams. Mrs Granger and her husband were both disappointed, but because they wanted their daughter to achieve good grades, agreed to let her stay.One afternoon, Mrs Granger called upstairs to Hermione's bedroom, telling her that she had cooked her dinner. She and her husband were sitting in the living room watching tv. Hermione came downstairs with her wand and secretly cast a False Memory Charm on both of her parents. She made them believe that they were called Wendell and Monica Wilkins, a couple with a desire to go to Australia and live there. The couple now had no recollection of having a daughter at all, knowing nothing of Hermione's existence. She did this in order to keep them safe should the Death Eaters come after them. 'Monica' and 'Wendell' proceeded to act on their apparent ambition to move, and quickly packed up their belongings and left their house just in time, as the Death Eater Yaxley later arrived there on a mission to kill or capture them.Immediately after the conclusion of the Second Wizarding War, Hermione found her parents and returned their memories. They presumably then returned to England. Mrs Granger and her husband gained a son-in-law when Hermione married Ron Weasley. The two of them proceeded to have two children, Rose and Hugo. The Grangers were presumably close to their grandchildren.
