Harry's POV

"Are you coming to the burrow these holidays Mione?" Harry sat down alongside Ginny, across the table from Hermione and Ron, at the Griffindor table the next morning at breakfast.. Hermione choked on her pumpkin juice, coughing and spluttering.

"Err, actually I'm seeing my family this Christmas. I haven't seen them in AGES, so I'm going home. I might be able to visit on Christmas day though, if that's ok with Ron." Ron nodded.

"And bring your parents if you like Hermione, you know how much my mum cooks." Hermione sat there silently and nodded.

"Yeah maybe...." Harry looked at her trying to figure out what was wrong with her. He tapped Ginny and whispered into her ear.

"Do you know if there's anything wrong with Hermione? She keeps acting really strange."

"She's probably just tired" Ginny whispered back. He eyed her suspiciously. He knew that she was lying but he didn't know why. Normally she told him everything. He decided to find out from Hermione herself what ws going on.

"Hermione.....Ouch!" He stopped suddenly when he felt Ginny elbow him in the side.

"Hermione can I talk to you for a minute?" Ginny asked her, avoiding his eyes.

"Sure, I'm done anyway." The girls left quickly.

"There's something going on, I know it!" Ron looked at him with a 'it's none of your business' look.

"Mate it's probably just girl stuff." harry stood up, pushing his food away.

"Well I'm going to find out." He left quickly, Ron shaking his head.

Ginny's POV

"Harry knows something's wrong, you need to stop acting suspicious when people talk about your parents." Hermione paced backwards and forwards in front of her.

"I'm sorry Gin, I'm just nervous about meeting my father."

"Look just be yourself, he'll love you like we all do." Hermione sighed nervously.

"But what if being myself isn't good enough? What if he expects me to be like him? I don't know if I can do this Ginny!" Tears started to pour out of her eyes and down her face. Ginny huigged her tightly.

"You have nothing to worry about, you're amazing and he will love you!" Hermione smiled and wiped her face.

"Who'll love her?" Both girls turned around to see Harry standing there. "What's going on Hermione? Tell me!" Hermione nodded then hung her head. Ginny explained to him everything that had happened. Harry just nodded, staying silent throughout the whole explaination.

"Do you hate me Harry?"

"Why would I hate you Mione? It all explains how Voldemort became so angry. And you can't help who your father is." Harry walked over and hugged her. She rested her head on him shoulder. Suddenly her head shot up.

"Please don't tell Ron! I don't want anyone else besides us knowing at the moment." Hermione begged. Harry nodded.

"Of course. so when you say you're visiting your parents for christmas, you mean you're visiting your dad?" She nodded "Don't worry, he'll love you. And be careful. If anything happens, don't hesitate to come to the burrow. We'll look after you." She smiled.

"Thank you harry."
