Once in the office Hermione asked "What did to need to speak with us about professor?" "Well first Ms Granger I want you to call me albus and I wanted to ask you how your summer has been." "My summer has been great so far pro…Albus." "Good, now I would also like to ask if you would like to be guaranteed the head girl spot your last year here." "Yes that would be great but isn't that showing favoritism?" Albus just smiled and said "Well not really but I will have harry explain that to you because I have an appointment that should only take a few minutes." With that he walked out of the door.
Hermione turned quickly to harry with a look that said "spill everything you know or else" so he said "Now mione, it is not favoritism because technically it will start this year and continue forever. They are starting this new position called junior head boy or head girl so that the next heads can have time get used to the position before their last year." That seemed to calm her down a little. She then looked at harry and asked "So what is the jobs of the new position?" "Well you get all of the normal quirks but you will have to listen to the real heads and the teachers."
Hermione just thought for a second then said "I wonder who will be the junior head boy." Harry looked around sheepishly and then mumbled something "What did you say harry?" asked Hermione. "I said that it would be me." replied harry. Hermione just sat there looking in the space then said "Are you sure harry." "Yeah he already asked me and I did not answer him until I knew if you would take it or not." She just smiled and said "Well I will take up the offer."
After she said this the headmaster walked in and asked. "Well did you all figure anything out?" "Yes albus we have and we will both take the offer." Hermione replied. "That is great, now harry you have to go back to you relatives." Harry looked down and said "Yes sir I know." Hermione thought for a second then said "Albus if V.V.. Voldemort stole harry's blood then wouldn't he be able to find harry and get through the wards around his house."
Albus's face paled then he said "You are absolutely right about that Ms. Granger. Harry you will instead go to grimauld place. You will also go Ms. Granger." He quickly pulled out an old boot out from inside his desk and it glowed blue and he said "grab on." Then there was a tug and harry found himself inside the living room of grimauld place.
"Ok Harry here is where you will be staying until the end of summer. Now I am going to go inform your relatives that you will not be going back probably ever. Now come along Ms. Granger I will take you home." He looked towards Hermione who said "No I want to stay here with Harry please." Harry quickly said "Albus why don't I have Dobby go and get our things and then you can inform my relatives and bring back mione's. That way her parents are safe and there is plenty room here for everyone." "That would be great harry so I will be back here soon." With that he apparated out of the room with a near silent pop.
After Albus left harry called out "dobby". There was a pop and an excited little elf ran over hugging harry's leg asking "What is the great harry potter be needing done?" "Well dobby I was wondering if you would like to go over to my old place and get all of my things and then go get Hermione's stuff please." With a pop dobby was gone.
After dobby left Harry and Hermione went and sat done on a couch waiting for albus and Hermione's parents. After a few minutes of waiting harry asked "Do you think that your parents will be hungry when they arrive?" Umm.. Yeah I think that would be great thank you harry." Harry thought for a second then said "Winky will come here for a second."
There was a pop and another droopy eared house elf was standing in the living room. "You called." She said. "Yeah I did winky would you be able cook dinner for five people please." Winky looked down and quietly said "I have not enough magic to do it sir. House elves must have a family in order to have their magic. Cause I is having no family I has no more magic left." Harry looked at the little elf then said "How would you like it if you and dobby a potter elf I will pay you both and you will have vacation days. If you do not want to do anything like going up to high spots just tell me and you will not have to would that be ok with you."
She just nodded her head vigorously then they heard a pop and dobby was there crying. "Do you really mean it, sir?" He asked. "Yeah I mean it I would love it if you would work for me then you both would have a nice home to live in and friends to talk to." They both smiled broadly then Harry asked "So how do you both become my house elves?" "All you have to do is say I Harry Potter Claim dobby and winky as potter house elves." Harry did and there was a flash of bright white light then winky said "I have my magic back sir, I will be getting to your dinner right away sir." She then popped out and dobby left with their clothes to go put them in their rooms.
They waited for about twenty minutes just talking about how they thought the exams went when they heard a pop and looked up at the newcomers only to notice that it was albus and the grangers. Harry then noticed that albus looked like he was really mad. He whispered something to the grangers then he apparated out.
Hermione quickly jumped up and ran over to her parents and gave them each a hug then turned to harry and said "Harry these are my parents DR. Dan Granger and Dr. Helen Granger." Harry quickly stood and shook Mr. Grangers hand while saying "Hello I am Harry, Harry Potter and this was my godfathers' house. Would either care for a meal or do you all want to go straight to bed." He asked that because based on their night clothes he had guessed that they were either in bed or getting ready for bed. They thought for a second then said "We would like to grab something to eat the way you all travel makes me hungry. Oh and your headmaster said that you could have someone fix our clothes he shrunk them so that he could teleport us both her." Harry chuckled and said "That can be arranged. Winky is cooking dinner as we speak and if dobby wants to he can unshrink your clothes and move them to a room for you." As soon as he was done speaking dobby popped in and took the clothes then popped back out. They all got to the dinner table and sat down when Ms. Granger said "Harry would you please call James and Helen. We feel old when you call us that. Now also I wanted to ask you what you meant on your letter to Hermione about the best thing that ever happened to you was. Please do not be angry at our daughter for showing us your letter she was just so happy that you wrote her and was getting over your godfathers' death that she sort of just threw the letter at us." Hermione blushed and harry sighed.
"Well to be honest with you, Helen the best thing that ever happened to me was saving your daughter from the troll our first year. She might not have been my first friend but over the years I have considered to call her my best friend ever. You do know what happened at the end of last year." They just said "We know that you and some other students along with my daughter broke into you government building trying to save your godfather and that Hermione was injured during a terrorist attack while you all were there." So Harry told them of what really happened.
When he got to the part where Hermione fell he stopped and said "When mione fell it was like the fight just came right out of me but then Neville said that she had a pulse and it gave me a reason to fight again to keep her and the others safe." He continued until he chased bellatix then he said "She just kept running and I really wanted to hurt he do I cast the cruciatus curse at her' here Hermione gasped and harry said 'yeah I did mione but it did not work, she said that you had to want to give them pain and really enjoy it but that righteous anger would not work." He continued until the end and said "Again mione I am sorry that you were hurt and I want you to know that the next time I see dolohov he will die alongside every last deatheater until Voldemort himself and then he too will die by my hand and only my hand. And it will be a very painful experience for him."
After harry finished his tale Hermione ran over and gave him a great big hug then a kiss on the cheek and said "I know you will harry but let us forget the past until the time is right to speak of it I think that it will be easier on everyone if we got to bed at some point. Harry just smiled and then they heard the door open and harry quickly ran to the door with his wand at the ready.
