"The War is over. It's safe for you to bring them home."
The look on her face must have been one of worry. Hermione looked down at the ground before looking up into the face of her fiancé. The pair sat at a small table outside a cafe and watched an older couple as they exited the grocery across the street. They were just as Hermione had remembered. The older woman slipped arm through her husbands and placed her head on his shoulder as they walked down the sidewalk.
"What am I supposed to do? I can't just walk up to them as some stranger and say 'Oh you dont know me but I'm actually your daughter but I put a spell on you so you'd forget all about me. And now I'm here to reverse that spell." She huffed in exasperation. Draco took brushed her hair back and took her hand. "We have plenty of time to figure everything out. We've both been transferred to the Brisbane Offices for the time being. Shacklebolt knows why we're here. He won't rush you and neither will I." Hermione smiled a sweet smile before kissing her future husband. He always knew exactly what to say.
The young couple returned back to their flat and Hermione threw herself onto their bed. She had to create some sort of chance encounter. She wanted to do this the right way. But was the right way? She could just stand across the street and say the incantation and wait for all the memories to come flooding back but that seemed like a terrible way to go about this. What would happen when she did reverse the spell? Would they be relieved? Would they be happy? Or worse yet, will they be furious.
"So what's the plan?", Draco asked leaning against the frame of the bedroom door. Hermione sat up and pulled her knees to her chest. "We've looked them up in the directory and we know where they live. We can pull a full on spy mission and follow them in the morning." Hermione thought about his suggestion. "Well we don't have to be creepy about it. But maybe we can create our own opportunity to "bump into them"." He made a point. How else was she going to talk to them.
"Okay it's settled. Bright and early tomorrow we start a stake out on my parents. Who don't know they're my parents. Perhaps an opportunity will present itself." That night, laying in bed, Hermione couldn't get herself to fall asleep. The excitement of seeing and possibly talking to her parents again after so long was too much.
