So I haven't got any feedback yet, but I am loving way Harry and Hermione are both so open :) Also Teddy makes a great addition!

Hermione wasn't certain if they were still planning on travelling, but Harry said that he wanted Teddy to get to experience everything he could in his life time. So late the next night, they stayed up late, and discussed where to go. There was a long debate and then it was decided that they would go to Venice, Italy, and then they would be going to a city in Spain.

Harry loved the water, and thought that a city on the water would be a perfect place to spend some time with Hermione, and Teddy. Teddy had grown to love Hermione and depend on her. Harry loved seeing her reading to him at night and enjoyed listening to her voice carrying over the house.

Soon he had mapped out everything that he wanted to do in Venice. He wanted to use a gondola to travel through the Grand Canal. He thought that it would be amazing to see all of the buildings and art that dwelled around the city.

While Harry was packing up his and Teddy's belongings for the trip, he heard a sound that sent fear through his heart. Teddy was screaming. Harry ran to hear his voice and he soon found Teddy sitting just outside a closet, that's door was barely open. Teddy couldn't move, and his leg was stuck half way into the crack of the door. Harry soon picked him up, but something had eaten Teddy's shoe!

Harry frowned and looked Teddy's foot over, nothing seemed to be wrong with it other than the shoe and sock were missing. The closet seemed possessed and Harry didn't want to keep a three year old in a home where the closet would try to eat him, or his shoes.

"Hermione, change of plans." Harry walked into her room, where she was scribbling away in her diary. She only looked up when Teddy climbed onto the bed.

"Hmmm?" she asked him.

"I don't want to go on a trip anymore. I would rather, if it's okay with you, fix up the house. For Teddy."

Hermione and Harry looked over at Teddy who was scratching his foot, and looking extreamly annoyed. Hermione pulled him over and looked closer at Teddy's foot.

"There is an infestation of Hermetical Anthrenus. Where did this happen?" She looked Harry.

"Down in the closet at the end of the hall. Are they dangerous?" Harry looked worried as he glanced back over at Teddy, who was clawing his foot again.

"Not usually, though if they run out of clothes to eat on, they will try to eat other things." Hermione got up and walked over a drawer she had and pulled out an assortment of creams. Choosing one that was bright orange in color, she took Teddy's foot and began rubbing the cream in. He relaxed immediately and let Hermione apply the ointment to it.

Harry immediately grinned and kissed Hermione's cheek. "See, I told Ginny that you could take care of him! So what do you think about us staying, and repairing and restoring this house." He looked lovingly at Teddy, "I just don't want anything to happen to him. Now that he is up and walking, there is no telling what could happen."

Hermione was caught off guard by the kiss and stood there, taking in everything that Harry said. She loved Teddy dearly and would hate for any kind of harm to come to him, especially if she could prevent it.

"Sure Harry, it will be just like old times."

She smiled at him, and as soon as Teddy was laid down for a nap, they started in on the house. Since a lot of it had been cleaned when they were in their fifth year, there wasn't a lot that needed work. Harry wanted to brighten the place, and make it less worn looking.

Hermione loved the idea of remodeling and was immediately involved in creating the best possible layout for the house. During all of the changes, Harry would make a lot of comments, talking about Sirius. Like when Hermione suggested creating a mini-play-yard on the inside of the house, since there was no room for a back yard, Harry told her, "Sirius would have thought that was brilliant." Also when she thought of making windows that let sun in, but wouldn't let anyone look in, Harry just smiled and said, "Sirius would have loved more sunlight."

Soon it smelled of clean wood, and fresh paint, and it was nice and bright in every room. Harry was really enjoying the work and they had completed three rooms when they decided to call it a night. Hermione laid Teddy down to sleep, after he had exhausted himself while trying to catch a young pixie that had flown around his head all day.

After he was laid down, she joined Harry in the newly furnished parlor, where he had some drinks made. It was a mix of Fire Whiskey and some muggle drink, called cola. It burned and bubbled and Hermione enjoyed it. She sweetened hers with some cherry flavoring and thought it was the perfect ending to such a long day. Harry talked more of Sirius and then Hermione started to talk.

"My favorite memory here, is during our fifth year, at Christmas. Ronald had made me a scavenger hunt to get my present. I thought it was so sweet. He wasn't that clever, but he tried so hard. I woke up that morning and found a sealed envelope and when I opened it, it read,

On a night when you want to dance,
Wearing this makes you prance,
And yet when it's time to put away,
It's folded up tight to then stay

The first part was obviously a dress, and the only place that folded clothes go is in a dresser, so I figured that one out easily. I got up and rustled through the drawers and I found another note.

Next, if you more than glance in a place that has books,
You will find a space that is well over looked.
And in this space you shall see,
A piece of parchment that looks just like me.

Well I searched all of the book shelves, and after an hour I had almost given up, but then I saw a small table, stacked with about three books on it, and sqweezed in behind the books was another note.

Follow the music.
-Ronald

All of a sudden I heard a small noise and it lead me down the back hallway, into that musty den, and Ronald was standing there, holding a small jewelry box that winded up to play music. It had a unicorn in it that pranced around. It was so beautiful. I thought that I might fall in love with him, that day. And then when we got back to school, he quickly got back to pretending I was just a know-it-all annoyance."

She looked up to see Harry sighing and wondered quickly what he was thinking. She was about to ask him when there was a knock at the window, and Hermione's owl, Printen, was sitting with the daily post.

Hermione let her in and looked at the letters she had gotten. She quickly sat down and opened one that was written in rough hand writing. Harry sat up to see if he could read some of it, but it was unnecessary, as she quickly looked at Harry, her face blushing.

"Victor wants to come and see, me, er, us."

"Victor? You mean Victor Krum?" Harry had a sinking feeling in his stomach.

"Yes. I have been keeping in touch with him, and he said that he is finally able to come to London and would like to stop by."

Harry tried to be nice and smile. "That's great Hermione."

"I'm going to go write him back. I am so excited." Hermione got up to go write Krum back, and then came back, "I thought you might like this." She handed him her Diary.

Entry 7

Trying to help Harry with girls is like trying to help me with boys. It is pretty much worthless. He was supposed to be with Cho but he apparently told her that he needed to meet me. She became extreamly jealous. If only it were true. Now Harry is upset, and Cho won't talk to him. He doesn't understand why I am such a big deal to hang around. Harry doesn't see that I am a girl. He doesn't see what meeting up with me could have possibly meant other than meeting up me. Ughhh. I am going to go cry myself to sleep.

Harry had never known he had made Hermione cry so much. He sighed and found himself conflicted with what he wanted to do. He had decided that he needs to show Hermione how he truly feels. How could he do that with Krum trying to weasel his way in? Harry took Hermione back her diary, and smiled at her. She was fretting over what to wear, but Harry knew she would look great.
