Title: Road Trip

Chapter 1:

He couldn't sleep. He was still stunned of what had happened some few days ago. He could not believe that he was able to defeat Voldemort. He was wondering if he has to go back to school next term since he wasn't able to attend the last school year. He heard a sob. He went out of the Burrow and found Hermione, covering her face with her bushy brown hair.

"Hermione? Are you…are you okay?" He moved closer to her. The moonlight shone upon the spot where she sat.

"I'm fine" Her voice was shaky. She hid her face and rubbed her eyes, making sure that her tears weren't dangling from her eyelashes anymore.

"You're not fine. Come on tell me, you could trust me. I won't tell Ron or anyone at all" He sat beside her, trying to get better view of her face, which until now is hidden by her hair that grew longer over the year.

"I miss my parents," She said in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry" He blamed himself. He knew he was the reason why she had to modify her parents' memories and send them off to Australia.

"It's not your fault!" She said.

"Of course it is! You shouldn't have done that to your parents. You should have hid with them. It's my problem and mess and I shouldn't have let you be affected by it" He glanced at her.

"Look, it's not your fault. Please don't think that you're a burden to me because you never were. You're my friend, my best friend. I'll always be by your side to help you. Friends help each other," She explained.

"Let's go to Australia," He said.

"What the bloody hell?" Ron showed up.

Harry looked at his back and found Ron standing. "Let's go to Australia and look for her parents. It's summer anyways, there's not much to do around here," He proposed.

"Please…don't" She shook her head.

"Come on, I want to help you. It's time for me to repay all the good things you've done to me" He pleaded.

"Harry, seriously…you don't really have to"

"Please?"

"Just say yes to him," Ron said.

"Fine! Yes! Sure! Whatever!" She finally said, trying to hide away the excitement and longing that she felt.

"Thank you! Ron, you coming?" Harry smiled.

"Nah!"

"What?!" Hermione and Harry both jumped from where they sat and said in unison.

"I'm sorry. I can't. Mum is still depress about F-fred" He stared down at the ground.

"Sorry…we totally understand your state right now, mate" Harry patted his back. He looked at Hermione, he was sure that she would be upset without Ron.

"Don't tell Ginny about this. I reckon she'll join you if she knows anything about it and I think it's better if she stays here" Ron added.

Harry nodded.

The next morning, everyone was set for breakfast except for Ginny who wasn't awake yet. Harry told Mr. And Mrs. Weasley about his and Hermione's trip.

"What will you do there?" Mrs.Weasley asked.

"We're going look for my parents"

"How will you get there?" Mr.Weasley asked.

"Um…we'll pretend to be muggles, I reckon, and board up a plane" Harry replied.

"It's your choice, dears, you could go wherever you wanted to go" Mrs.Weasley was staring at Fred's picture on the wall.

"Thanks" They mumbled.

"Hermione…" Harry stood up and told her to follow him outside,

"I just remembered, where are we going to stay? We don't have any muggle money" He whispered.

"If it's okay…why don't we ask some from your relatives? We'll pay them back once we'll find mum and dad" She said.

"I could try to do that but what if they'll just shut the door in front if me?"

"Get a summer job or something?"

"Sounds nice but it'll take us months to get enough quids…want to go now?"

"Where? The Dursleys? Sure" She smiled.
