A/N: Yes, most of my recent (or not so recent) posts have been REALLY short...but hey....i NEED motivation ppl! and you will probably see that i was all in all very hyper when writing this next chapter, and under deep stress (see previous chapter's author's note....and add pretests that I have to pass in order to even TAKE the test that determine's if I graduate or not are in 6 days, and i just found out today) Well, ON WITH THE STORY!!

Hermione's P.O.V.

Oh, boy. November 18. Not only the start of our trip, but lucky me, I get to 'Meet The Parents." Standing in line to use the fire-place to floo into Mr. and Mrs. Finnigan's inn, I must of looked bone-wrenching nervous, as Seamus squeezed my hand reassuringly.

I was dressed nicely, not to give the impression of a street-walker, nor to give the impression of a prude, in a pair of tan muggle hip-huggers, with a yellowish, square-neck tee-shirt.

Oh, no. It was my turn.

"'Mione," I heard Seamus begin. "Do you want to go through together?" I nodded. We hugged together, and side-stepped into the fire-place. "Finnigan Inn!" We stated in unison. I shut my eyes, so as not to get any soot or ashes in them, but I held them closed even after I felt the spinning stop. I was deathly scared now.

Oh, no. I could face Voldemort coutnless times with Harry, and even play a large part in his defeat, but I couldn't meet my boyfriend's parents. "Hermione, it's okay. Come on now," Seamus reassured.

I slowly opened one eye, then the other. We were in a homy-looking parlor, which I assumed was in the Finnigan's living-quarters. A man and a women, who I assumed were Seamus's parents, were standing by an over-stuffed couch. Along side them, were three young 5 young women, and five young men. Three of the women were holding babies or toddlers in their arms, as were the men. Running around like maniacs was a set of triplets who all looked like miniature copies of Seamus.

"Oomph!" Seamus grunted next to me. While I stood transfixed and over- whelmed by the site in front of me, one of the triplets ran full speed into Seamus, giving him an over-enthusiastic hug.

"Uncle Seamus!" The toddler screamed.

"Hello Seamus, dear." Said the woman I presumed to be Seamus's mother. "You're friends are already settling in their rooms."

"Thanks, mum." He gave her a hug.

"Hermione, I'd like you to meet my family. This is my Mum and Dad. Those, over there, are my sisters, Alaina, Marissa, Kate, Christine, and Francis. This Giant right here," He motioned to a man to the right of him, "Is my brother, Jacob. The ones standing next to the girls are my brothers in law, David, Jeremy, Joshua, and Tyler (A/N: hehe)." He then proceeded to name all the babies and toddlers, but lost me half way through.

"And these little tornadoes here are my nephews, Alexander, Mark, and Dannial. "Auntie Hehmione?" asked one of the unidentifiable triplets in Seamus's arms. Everyone laughed. "We're not quite THAT far in the relationship, Alex," said a laughing Seamus.

"Come on, Hermione, I'll show you where you'll stay while we're here."

"Thank you, it was nice meeting everyone," I said as Seamus led me into the hall-way.

"Well, thank God that's over!" Exclaimed Seamus. "Why? They seemed very nice?"

"Just wait until the kids get over the shyness, my sisters start blabbing, and my brother and brothers in law start torturing me about having a girlfriend. Okay, here's the room your sharing with Hannah. Justin's staying with me in my room. I have a feeling that Justin and Hannah are together right now, engaging in some purely innocent behavior." Seamus said the last part seriously, but struggling to hide a grin. We ducked into my lavishly decorated room, and began our own activities....
