Chapter 11

Hermione awoke suddenly as the train stopped. Hermione lifted her head groggily off Harry's chest. She looked up and saw Harry still sleeping peacefully, glasses askew. Hermione shook him gently. Harry stirred.
"Wha-where are we?" He asked sleepily.
"Platform 9 3/4, Harry," Hermione told him as she yawned.
Harry shot up. "Shoot! Did we just get here?"
"By the looks of it, yeah." Hermione nodded towards the door where a swarm of Hogwarts students were trying to get off the train. "C'mon, let's go, my parents are probably waiting for us!" She said excitedly.
She went to get her trunk-
"I'll get them. It's fine." Harry told her.
Hermione thanked him as they she went to open the compartment door for him.

***

As they got off the train they heard a shout of "Hermione!"
Hermione turned her head sharply towards the direction of the shout. She spotted her parents in the crowd and ran over to them, leaving Harry trailing behind her. She hugged them both before turning to Harry.
"Oh, sorry I forgot. Mum, Dad, this is Harry. Harry these are my parents." She said.
"Pleased to meet you, Mr and Mrs Granger." Harry said politely.
"Oh you can call us Emma and Dan!" Hermione's mum said. Her dad just nodded at him. "Come on, we can go to the car and you can put those trunks down, dear." Emma said to Harry.
Harry nodded and Hermione and her mum walked ahead of the boys, who were walking in stiff silence.

As they approached the car, Hermione's dad offered to help Harry put the trunks in the back of the car.
Hermione shot Harry a look that clearly said, "told you so." Harry remembered her words on the train about the "my daughter" talk her dad might possibly give him. He nodded and turned to face her dad as he opened the trunk of the car.
As they put the first one in, Dan turned to Harry. "Listen son, I'm not gonna beat about the bush ok? In that car is my daughter, my only daughter, and from what I hear, you're her boyfriend now?"
"Yes sir." Harry nodded.
"Right, if you hurt her in any way, young lad, you're in trouble. Got it?" He said firmly.
"Of course, sir. And I would never hurt her anyway." Harry reassured him.
"Good. And don't call me sir, it makes me feel old." Dan said with a chuckle.
Harry laughed and got into the car. As he closed the door behind him, Hermione gave him an inquiring look.
"I'll tell you later." He whispered.
On their way there they didn't talk much as Hermione's dad decided to put the radio on. Both Hermione's parents sang along to all of the old songs, Hermione singing along to the slightly newer ones, and Harry laughing and joining in on the few that he knew.

When they finally arrived, Emma turned to Hermione. "Why don't you show Harry his room while we get the trunks, eh?" She said with a wink.
Hermione nodded and blushed, rushing inside with Harry. They went upstairs, Hermione quickly showed harry his room before they went to hers and sat down on her bed.
Hermione turned to Harry, "So?"
"Nothing really. Exactly what you told me he would say." Harry shrugged.

They laughed and joked for while until they heard a knock on the door. Harry and Hermione jumped apart, even though they hadn't done anything. Emma opened the door and laughed at their shocked faces.

"Hope I didn't interrupt anything but dinner's ready." she told them.

They quickly nodded and she left, still laughing.

***

As they sat down, they noticed what they were eating for dinner; spaghetti. They both turned bright red at the memory of the last time they ate spaghetti together. Hermione's parents, however, didn't notice this.

"So, Harry, tell us, are you good in school? No talking back to teachers or anything? You focus on your studies? Wouldn't want you disrupting Hermione's perfect scores would we?" Dan asked with a chuckle.

"Dad!" Hermione whined, turning even redder than before. "He's literally only been here an hour! Stop bombarding him with questions!"

But harry was quick to reply. "It's ok Hermione. Yeah I focus on my studies quite a bit-"

" *cough cough* lies *cough cough* " Hermione muttered between fake coughs.

Harry continued as if Hermione had remained silent. "And no I don't talk back to most teachers."

"Wha-" Dan started, but he was quickly interrupted by Hermione.

"It's only one teacher that we talk back to... he's absolutely horrible to all Gryffindors but he especially hates Harry. And since Ron and I are - were - friends with him it immediately makes him pick on us as well as Harry."

Dan just shrugged and nodded. They continued to chat about school until it was nearly 9pm.

"My gosh! Look at the time! We had all better get to bed!" Emma exclaimed. And with that they all went upstairs to their separate rooms.

***

Harry was just about to fall asleep when he felt something creep under his sheets. Suddenly he was being tickled. Luckily he wasn't ticklish but he was curious to find out why someone was tickling him at this time of night. He pulled back the sheets to see Hermione laughing at his shocked face.

"Hermione, may I ask you a question? Why on earth are you tickling me? I'm not even ticklish." he said with a smile.

"I was cold on my own so I thought I would come and sleep here. I didn't want to just walk in though, I wanted to surprise you. Shame you're not ticklish though." she laughed.

"What makes you think I will let you sleep here?" he said, laughing at her expression. "Just kidding. Here-" he moved over to give her room.

"Thanks Harry." she whispered, snuggling up to his bare chest; he still slept topless.

She giggled as he kissed her cheek. "Like what you see?" he whispered, remembering that awkward moment that morning.

"Very much." she whispered before falling asleep in his arms.

He chuckled before falling asleep himself, her head resting on his chest.
