After the sorting ceremony, Dumbledore's speech and the magnificent feast that all marked the beginning of a new school year, Harry and Hermione found themselves curled up together in one of the armchairs in the Gryffindor common room, watching Neville and Seamus play wizard's chess and stealing sweet kisses, while Ginny and Dean were curled up in a chair across the room, looking rather cozy.

Ron entered the common room with a bang of the portrait, which caused The Fat Lady to shriek, and went straight for the stairs, not even stopping to speak to anyone.

"What's got up his butt?" One of the sixth year students asked.

"He thinks that my parents being gay is disgusting, and that Hermione is disgusting and has somehow betrayed him, by dating me." Harry said, unable to be surprised that Ron was acting the way he was. After all the time that he had blamed Harry for things that he didn't do in the past, it wasn't that big of a shocker. "And I guess the rest of you are disgusting because you're not shunning me for having gay parents."

Hermione kissed Harry on the cheek. "I think the one being disgusting is Ron. His attitude and demeanor are just awful. I'm sure Molly and Arthur are going to be humiliated when they find out."

Ginny looked up from where she had been staring into Dean's eyes and said. "Hmmm. I believe Mum and Dad would be appalled at his behavior. Maybe I should let them know."

"Ginny, please don't cause trouble on my behalf." Harry asked his friend.

"I'm not causing trouble for anyone. Ron is causing trouble for himself, and maybe Mum or Dad can take him down a peg. I'm sending them a letter in the morning." Ginny said.

"We all need to go to bed," Hermione said, causing most of the common room to grumble. "I know guys, but our classes start in the morning and it's lights out time. I wouldn't make a very good Head Girl if I didn't boss you guys around, now would I?" She laughed.

"Heck, we'd wonder if you were even Hermione if you didn't boss us around," Ginny said, laughing as well.

"I have to go do rounds and then go to my rooms." Hermione told Harry as they stood up. "Don't let Ron bother you and just ignore him if he tries to start anything."

"I won't, and I will, and I'll miss you," Harry said, pulling Hermione close to him and kissing her.

"Oi! Get a room," Neville teased as he was heading up the stairs to the boys' dorms.

Harry shot a dirty look at him and turned back to Hermione. "Can I pick you up at your door in the morning?" he asked with a smile. "We can walk to breakfast together."

"I'd like that," Hermione smiled up at him.

"Great," Harry said, kissing Hermione on the nose before walking her to the door. "Be careful on your rounds and I'll see you in the morning."

"Night Harry,"

"Goodnight, Hermione."

When Harry got up to his dorm, he noticed that all the beds except one had been pushed to one side of the room, and the other bed, which was obviously Ron's was warded and had the drapes drawn tightly closed around it. He looked at the other boys and shrugged before grabbing his toothbrush and pajamas and heading for the bathroom to get ready for bed.

The other boys followed Harry's lead and they were soon all in bed and before long Harry could hear soft snores coming from Neville's bed and even breathing from the other two.

Harry cast the muffalato charm and pulled the two way mirror that Sirius had given him, out of his pillow case and flipped it over. "Dad?" he called out.

Sirius' face became visible almost immediately. "Everything ok son?" he asked, obviously worried.

"Yeah, I just got used to talking to you and dad every night before I went to bed, and wanted to ask you how your days went, since I didn't get to see you much."

Sirius relaxed and Harry could see him motion for Remus to come over to where he was sitting. Remus' head came into view and he said "Hello son,"

"Hey dad, how was your day?" Harry asked, smiling.

The three chatted for another thirty minutes or so, back and forth through the mirrors, until Remus said "You know, I wouldn't be a very good teacher or father if I kept my son up all night chatting and caused him to sleep through breakfast in the morning and miss class."

Harry laughed, "But you could write me an excuse."

It was Sirius' turn to laugh then. "A note might get you out of trouble with Minerva, but I doubt even a note from Professor Moony here could get you out of trouble with Hermione."

Harry's eyes got wide, and a blush stained his cheeks for a moment, causing both his fathers to laugh again.

"We love you son," his fathers said. "I love you guys too." Harry said, smiling before he stuck his mirror back into his pillow case and laid down.

It wasn't long before Harry was fast asleep and dreaming of jumping on the trampoline with Hermione again.
