After the Battle

Chapter 4

We explained everyhting to her parents, we told them that it was for their own safety because she was wanted and she explained what we had done. She told her parents about the horcruxes, about the ministry, about what they did to muggleborns and about the battle.

'Harry was brilliant, Mum. He killed the greatest and most evil wizard of all time on his own and now he's here with me while I fix what I've done'.

'I couldn't have done it without you Hermione. You were right when you told me that last year.'

'Oh, don't be so modest Harry.'

'So, are you two, together?' questioned Mr Granger in a protective, fatherly tone.

'No, no. Don't be stupid Dad. Euurgh, gross. No, just friends.'

'Thanks Hermione, I personally didn't realise that I was QUITE that repulsive!'

'Oh, you know what I mean. Idiot.' 

I chuckled and then realised quite how tired I was. I yawned

'You two look tired', said Mrs Granger.

'Yeah', replied Hermione,'It's about 2am in England'.

'Oh, of course', she said, 'Would you like to sleep for a few hours?'

'Yes please Mum', said Hermione. I looked at her questioningly. 'Oh, come on Harry. You can't go back to the Weasleys at two o'clock in the morning. Go to sleep and then we can go back later.'

'Ok, Thanks Mrs Granger'.

'My pleasure Harry, So you two are staying with the Weasleys?'

'We've only spent one night there, Mum. We have just been staying there temporarily since the battle. I was wondering if you would be coming back to live in England. I kept the house.'

'Yeah, I guess we will then. Afterall I don't remeber anything that's happened in the last year!'

'Night Mum, Night Dad' She kissed them both and then started to ascend the stairs.

'Night Mr and Mrs Granger'.
