Chapter 1: Burst of Joy

Epilogue: After the battle of Hogwarts, Harry decided he needed some time alone to think about all the people he had sacrificed for his own good. Hermione also wanted this time alone so they both left together.

Harry and Hermione had just apparated, Harry had no idea where they were. But Hermione was looking at the place, deep in thought.

"This is my home. I succeeded in taking the memory charm off of my parents, but now they're mad at me.' Hermione said as tears fell from her eyes. Harry put his arm around her, trying to comfort her. She sniffed and continued, I'm scared Harry. What if they never let me back in? "

"Hermione, they're your parents. They will always love you. They might be mad for a few days, but not forever. They're mad at you because they are scared. Scared of what might of happened to you. Did you get hurt. Or what if you died. They had no idea if you were safe or not. " These words came to Harry's mouth so easily, he surprised himself.

Hermione smiled and said, "You're right Harry. Thank you. Can you come with me though? For moral support?"

Harry smiled and nodded his head. "I'm not letting my best friend go alone." He laughed.

Hermione took his hand and both of them walked to Hermione's house.

When they arrived, Hermione was pale, even a ghost would be afraid of her. Harry squeezed her hand, she smiled at him as she rang the bell. They waited a few seconds before the door opened. A man, with very curly hair was standing in front of the door.

Hermione gulped, " Dad?" she asked.

The man stared then suddenly, " Hermione!' He said as he ran up to hug her. Hermione had burst into tears long before this.

"Dad I missed you so much and guess what I saved the world! "

" Your mom and I went crazy when we heard you saved the world. I'm so proud of you!"

And like she was a little girl Hermione smiled and hugged her father so tightly, Harry thought he would burst.
