Returning to Diagon Alley to supply their re-emergence into the wizarding world the two couples begin to put the war behind them and discover new roles within their family.   

For the two couples there is much to learn and much to do before they can go to Australia disguised as Muggles.  It makes sense to return to Grimmauld Place to make plans but they must first resolve the old before they can begin the new.

When Hermione and Ron, Harry and Ginny meet the new Muggle Studies teacher they learn enough  to solidify their Australia plans.  They're not too surprised to discover that this somewhat odd professor is a magical theorist with an interesting history.

When their lessons begin, Ron and Hermione, Harry and Ginny, learn that all of their teachers are emphasizing practice and that their Muggle Studies teacher is a voluble eccentric with fscinating theories about the magical world.

Given the other team's problems, Harry and Ginny cooperate with the Slytherin captain to set a season where everyone has a chance.   Their Muggle Studies Professor offers them an interesting plan for getting ready to travel as Muggles.

The four friends manage their busy lives with little time for much but school work, Quidditch, and their various day-to-day routines.

At last, after a exciting Quidditch practice, Harry and Ginny make progress with the exercises in the Chinese Book.

At the last Muggle meeting before the Australian adventure begins, the four's friendly helpfulness makes for fimrer friendships with the Muggle counselors. Yet, their hesitance to speak about themselves begins to raise questions.

The pace of school continues to accelerate, Hermione begins to master the skill she'll need to restore her parents' memories, and the Quidditch season ends as it should with a hotly contested  match for the Quidditch Cup.

At last they meet Hermione's parents.  They are well, fit and happy.   After wonderful meals and a delightful sail, the two couples retire to their cabins ready for Hermione to restore her parents' memories the next morning.
