"So, was it as terrifying as you thought it'd be?" Hermione asked Dean as they walked down Diagon Alley hand in hand.

They were returning to America the next day and their respite from cases would be over and they would be back on the hunt, travelling around the US, dealing with God knows what, whilst trying to remain unharmed.

Since it was their last day in England and Hermione had finished her responsibilities at The Ministry, she had visited The Potters and Malfoys, and each one of The Weasley families, to give her nieces and nephews their presents and to introduce the children to their new family members.

Sam had taken to the children like a duck to water, whilst Dean had a little trouble finding his footing, but before she knew it, he had the children giggling like school girls and refusing to allow him to rest, since they wanted to show him every toy they owned, much to Hermione's amusement. She knew he would be a good father, whether he believed it or not, and despite his worries and protests, the children loved him and he was rather good with them.

After finishing off their visitations at Malfoy Manor –much to Dean's and Sam's shock- Hermione had taken Sam back to the apartment, whilst she and Dean went for a walk in Diagon Alley, to see the night life now that all the stores had closed and all that was left open were the pubs, bars and clubs.

"I'd still rather be outnumbered in a nest of vampires, but it wasn't that bad, I suppose." He said, she snorted at him and nudged him with her elbow.

"Don't lie, I saw the look on your face when you met Lily." He scowled at her as she chuckled knowingly. "Ready for your pop quiz?"

Hermione had come up with the idea of a game to help Dean learn and remember the members of her family. Since they were now married, he would be expected to attend most of the functions she did, as per wizarding tradition, and since The Prophet had put out the assumption that Dean was a wizard, they weren't going to correct them, not when it gave them a cover for Dean's hunting.

"No," he frowned.

"Great, first of all, The Potters?"

He sighed, before doing his best to concentrate whilst his eyes scanned their surroundings as the night life of Diagon Alley came alive.

"Harry and Ginny. Harry is the Head Auror, and Ginny is a Professional Athlete, but she's currently on maternity leave. They've been married seven years and have three children. Albus Severus is five, James Sirius is three and Lily Luna is one and a half."

She nodded with a smile. "The Malfoys?"

He sighed. "Draco and Luna. Draco is the Deputy for your department, and Luna owns a newspaper. They've been married for four years and they have Scorpius, who's almost a month old."

She nodded again. "Now for the hard one, The Weasleys?"

He made a sound of annoyance, running his free hand through his hair, before sighing. "Bill and Fleur, they're both curse breakers. They've been married almost ten years and they have three kids. Victorie is seven, Dominque is five and Lucas is three. Charlie's a dragon tamer in Romania and he's dating a healer called Claire. Percy and Audrey, Percy's the Undersecretary to The Minister, and Audrey works in the Family Affairs Department. They've been married five years and they have two daughters. Lucy is four and Molly is two." Hermione's smile was widening by the minute. "George and Angelina, George has his own growing chain of stores and Angelina's works for The Ministry in the Sports Department. They've been married five years and they have two children. Fred's four and Roxy's just turned one. That just leaves your asshole ex, Ron, who has two kids."
