DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything about the Harry Potter films and books or any songs I may use through out this fan fiction.

Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape, Sirius Black, Fred Weasley, Remus Lupin and Tonks are all still alive … I don't think there's anyone else but there might be haha.

I tilted my face to the sun and thought about what had happened to make me be sitting out in the backyard of my parent's house in Australia. After the fall of the Dark Lord Harry, Ron, Ginny and the rest of the Order of the Phoenix had gone to help Professor McGonagall re-build Hogwarts. I had apologised for not being able to stay but I had to find my parents, who I had obliviated for their own safety.

It hadn't taken me long to find them sunning it up in the outback of Australia. What had taken long was researching a way to bring back obliviated memories. I had found it though because they don't call me the brightest witch for nothing.

Now here I'm sitting with my newly un-obliviated parents watching them argue over how long they need to cook steak on the bbq for. I laughed out loud unable to hold it in as my Dad waved his spatula at my Mum who was laughing at the now burnt steaks.

"Burnt steak for tea darling" my Mum chuckled as she settled my plate in front of me. We were sat outside on at a wooden table. I was told my Dad had made it, which definitely explains why it was wobbly.

I heard my Dad murmur as he came to sit down "its added flavour Jean" he scowled playfully at her while I laughed louder. I really had missed them, I couldn't think of what my life would be like without them. For nearly a year I had been without them, but I had known they were out there alive and well whilst I was chasing after the Voldemort with Harry and Ron. I had been too busy to think about my parents whilst running for my life.

The first time I had thought of them was when Bellatrix was torturing me. I had thought 'what about my parents? They will never remember me, there won't be anyone to remove the spell. They won't know that they had a daughter who was murdered by a Death Eater.' I sighed and shook my head of the horrible thoughts. My dreams were enough nightmares on the past never mind the thoughts running around in my head.

"Would you pass the salad Hermione honey" I snapped out of my daze and smiled at my Mum.

"Of course Mum" I reached across the table to pick up the salad bowl then passed it to her out stretched hand.

I watched as my Mum and Dad spoke about their new business, well new for me. They had opened up a bar in a small town not long after they had moved here and from the sounds of things it had been a big hit with the locals.

I glanced back up at the setting sun "you'll be opening the bar in an hour?" They stopped their conversation and turned to me.

"Of course honey, would you like to come?" I bit my lip in though then replied to my Dad.

"Sure should be fun"

I watched as my Mothers face turned mischievous "you never know, you could meet a local boy and hit it big time".

I smiled slightly "I told you Mum I'm dating Ron Weasley now" I watched as my Mother frowned.

"Oh yes, that red haired boy. I really thought you would end up with Harry dear, he's such a sweetie. Is he coming to visit any time soon?" I smiled and chuckled slightly.

"Mum Harry's practically my brother, I love him just not like that. Anyway he's with Ginny Weasley. You've met her she's the only female I'm close to at school . . . oh and Luna of course. And you know Harry's coming five days before I have to go to the Burrow."

"Ah yes, Ginny another red head and Luna the blonde?" I nodded and she carried on "strange girl that one but she's so funny. I'm glad you have such friends dear, I'm just sorry we missed so much".

I glanced at my Parents sadly "I'm sorry, it's all my fault" I felt a tear trickle down my cheek "I just wanted you safe" I hated that my voice cracked on the last word.

I felt myself being brought into a hug by my parents and I gave a squeeze before I let go.

I couldn't hide my excitement as I glanced at the clock and noticed that Harry was coming in five minutes. I bounced on my seat slightly counting down the minutes. I was sitting inside away from the heat of the sun. It was now 19.55pm and my parents had left for work and hour ago, I had helped them over the summer but with Harry coming I had taken a night off.

I heard a pop from outside and I jumped out of my seat and ran to the door. Pulling it open I saw Harry standing with his fist raised as though he was about to knock on the door. I watched as his face lit up and he pulled me into a hug "I've missed you so much 'Mione, Ron has as well he can't wait to see you". I smiled and hugged him back.

"I can't wait to see everyone as well, it's been hell here with all this sun" I laughed "it feels like I'm slowly being roasted" he joined in my laughter.

"Well you look good, you have a nice glowing tan" he grinned cheekily and kissed me on the cheek.

"You'll have one as well after being here for five days" I showed him quickly around the house, showing him his bedroom next door to mine and then offered him some food. We sat eating and joking until well past one in the morning when we both decided we needed sleep.

The next five days were great, spending time with my parents and with Harry helped me stop thinking about the nightmares I had each night. The nightmares that made me wake up screaming and gasping for breath. I was sure that Harry would come in with his wand out if he heard me but luckily I put up a silencing charm on my room so no one could hear me.

On the final day I had to say goodbye to my parents. They stood at the door my Dad had his arms around my slightly hysterical Mum.

"Mum I'll be back at Christmas, that's only a few months away" I say with a slight chuckle trying to lighten the mood. I couldn't help feeling a little sick, I had the feeling that something was going to happen but I pushed it away and placed a smile on my face.

I gave them hugs and turned to join Harry at the end of the garden. I had placed wards all over the house and gardens to make sure that my parents were safe. Even though Voldemort had fallen he had Death Eaters who were still trying to get revenge on the Golden Trio. With me being one third of it I wanted to make sure anyone I cared for was taken care of.

I smiled at my parents and waved before grabbing Harry's arm and apparating away.
