Mine Forever ( a Harmione fanfic )

Chapter 09

When Hermione and her mother went out of the kitchen and into the small secluded area between the living room and the kitchen, Hermione couldn't help but smile at the sight in front. Looking to her left, she saw her mother having the same smile, looking at Mr. Granger and Harry making small talk with each other while covering what used to be the electric fireplace with a huge cloth. 

"What are you boys doing?" Hermione asked. "Helen, you weren't supposed to bring her in until I said so. I'm glad we got to finish it before you barged in with our Mia." Mr. Granger fake scolded Hermione's mother. "Surprise sweetheart!!!" Mr. Granger said while taking off the cloth they were covering what used to be the electric fireplace, with Harry's help. Hermione couldn't help but gasp at the beautiful sight in front of her. "Merlin! Dad... Awww it's a fireplace. A real one! Thank you so much, you guys." Hermione exclaimed hugging both her parents at once. "Well, I had a little help from Harry here too. He helped me with the finishing touches and he was going to teach me how to use the... uhm what was it son? ahh the Floo flames, when you came in." Hermione couldn't help but smile as she hugged her boyfriend. Her father, calling Harry 'son' didn't go unnoticed as Harry too had a proud smirk rocking his face. Just then, Geroge, Ron, and Ginny also came inside.

"Guys, we better get going if we were to catch the last bus leaving in 10 mins," Ginny said looking at a piece of paper where she had jotted down the bus schedules. "Ooh a fireplace, is it connected to the floo network? we can use that to go back if it is." She added. "I was about to." Harry said. "Let me help you with that bro." George said taking his wand out. 

"Alright. All done. The Granger cottage is now connected to a few of our houses, Grimmauld Place, Burrow, and of course to Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes." Geroge said tipping an imaginary hat, which earned a chuckle from everyone including Hermione's parents. "From what Hermione has told us, won't you be needing some sort of a powder to activate it?" Hermione's mother asked. "Yes, Mrs. Granger, it is called floo powder. Although I don't think any of us might have a pouch of them right now. Oh I know a way, Harry, why don't you ask Kreacher and see if he could bring a bag?" Ron said. 

Harry had called Kreacher and he had come back with not one bag, but a whole sac full of floo powder, enough to last the Grangers a couple of years. 

"Since you all can leave anytime you want, why don't you stay for Dinner as well?" Mrs. Granger invited them to stay for dinner. Just then, Mrs. Weasley's head popped up in the fireplace. "Oh hello, dears. I got an alert that a new fireplace has been connected. I just popped in to invite all of you to dinner at the Burrow. That is, if you both would also like to join us, Mr. and Mrs. Granger?" "Oh sure Mrs. Weasley, Thank you for the invite. We'll be there." Mrs. Granger replied and Molly Weasley's head nodded and disappeared with a puff of smoke. 

"Well, we better get going to help Mum with the prep, although she doesn't need much help with that," Ginny added chuckling and all three of the Weasley kids said goodbye and disappeared in the floo flames. "Well, I also better get going. I need to pop into Grimmauld Place before heading over to the Burrow. Thank you both for having us, Mr. and Mrs. Granger." Harry added. "It was a pleasure meeting you son," Mr. Granger said tapping Harry's shoulder. "Yeah Harry, do visit us often. and Thanks for bringing a smile to our Mia's face. She deserves all the happiness in the world." Mrs. Granger said looking lovingly at her daughter and her boyfriend. "That she does, Mrs. Granger. 'Mione has been with me through thick and thin. The least I could do is give her all the happiness she deserves. Hopefully, I'll be able to do that." Harry said nervously thinking if he had shared too much. "Thanks again, Mr. and Mrs. Granger, your blessing means so much," Harry added to the couple who now sported matching emotional smiles. "One more thing son, call us Helen and Richard, or if you would like, Mom and Dad, as Hermione calls us," Helen added with a wink at the end, which made Harry blush and Hermione to hug all three of them in a group hug. 

"This is what I need right here, my family," Hermione said breaking out of the hug. "Well, we better get ready, don't wanna keep Mrs. Weasley waiting now, do we?" she added. Harry turned to the fireplace and stepped in, after hugging both Hermione's parents and Hermione. It was just he and Hermione now in front of the fireplace. Her parents have left the room. He reached his hands to get the floo powder. "Did you forget something, Harry?" Hermione asked with a smirk. "I.. what? I don't think so." Harry stuttered, to which Hermione replied by capturing his lips in a quick, but a warm kiss. "That. That was what you forgot. See you at the Burrow." Hermione said, kissing his forehead. "See you." Harry said kissing her forehead and disappeared in the floo flames.

A/N

Hi guys, so.. the book has been getting a lot of positive feedback lately. I will continue updating as quickly as I can. I'm sort of winging it as I go. I don't have a draft even. I'll try and get that plot straightened out soon. If you are feeling like the plot is dragging, just tell me. This is sort of a filler chapter, dedicated to two special readers who commented, asking me to update soon. I never knew I would get that kind of feedback. Thank you guys,

ThePotterhouse and Goyal05 Thank you guys... This Chapter is for you...
