Chapter 21-
Yay another chapter. I hope you guys enjoy it. I am going to try and get these chapters out as soon as I can.
"Hello, sweetheart," Harry says entering his girlfriend's office and softly kissing her on the lips. "I missed you last night and this morning. How are you doing today?"
"Amazing, like always," Hermione answers beaming at her boyfriend of almost six months. "You will never believe who has come to check out our new services here."
It has been almost a month since Hermione and Ethan opened their new and forward thinking, for the wizarding world anyway, advertisement company, Newage Advertisement and Technology.
While figuring out what to do in her life, after leaving Hogwarts that is, Hermione met with a few other geniuses' in both muggle world and wizarding world. Since then the three of them have been having biweekly meetings while she and Ethan funded their research in TVs, radios and air waves.
And now the product of their meetings is being tested as both her best friend and she wants to use it to advertise products and stuff live and in person throughout the whole of the wizarding community no matter where they are at. Who knows maybe tv shows and movies will one day come of this in the wizarding world, but for now one thing at a time.
They were still a few years away from having full fledge televisions working with the interference that magic still does. Only Hermione and her three partners have this technology in their homes.
Because of this, they had decided to open an advertisement company to start working on ads and other things along the way.
"Who," Harry asks with a big smile at her obvious excitement.
"Draco," Hermione says in delight.
"Really," Harry says surprise written all over his face. "Don't tell me that you left me yesterday because you wanted to be presentable for that git?"
The jealousy is evident on his words.
"Don't tell me your jealous, Harry," Hermione says glaring at him.
"I am not…"
"Harry, we already talked about this," Hermione interrupts. "You can't still hold a grudge on him. It has been a long time now and I have forgiven you guys for your stupidity. We were all just teens when that happened."
"Hermione…" Harry starts slowly looking at the woman he loves.
"I know," Hermione says lovingly before another office door opens.
"Hello, dear brother," Ethan says coming out with Luna Lovegood right behind him. "How are you doing today? Did Hermione tell you the good new?"
"Hello Ethan, Miss Lovegood," Harry says smiling at them as they near them. "She has, and I just find it very difficult to understand him bringing his company to your work. I wonder what Lucius is thinking off."
"According to your old friend," Ethan begins. "His dad no longer has any control over what he does. This is his company to do with what he wants with. That includes aligning himself to muggleborns."
"I told you," Hermione says holding Harry's hand softly. "Why don't we all head out to lunch now."
…
"Mum, Lily," Hermione says as she answers the door to her home to both woman. "Come in please. Dinner is almost ready."
"Did you cook," Jane Black asks her daughter with fear in her eyes.
"Of course, who else would do it," Hermione says feigning hurt.
"Well last time you tried to cook your father had to take me to the emergency room for food poisoning," Jane says as her good friend laughs in the background.
"Should I order us some pizza," Lily says when the younger woman glares at her. "Just in case."
"Mum, Hermione's cooking has improved," a male voice says from the stairs. "I have only had to go to the healer half a dozen times since we started dating."
"Harry," Hermione's exclaims. "That is so rude of you to say. Maybe I should never cook for you again."
"Oh, that is a big loss," he says with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Hmmp," Hermione says as she crosses her hands over her chest. "What are you doing here, anyway?"
"I left my favorite jacket here last week," Harry says while hugging his mum and Hermione's mum. He walks over to his girlfriend before kissing her deeply. After a few moments he pulls away to continue. "Since I am going out with the boys tonight I wanted to use it."
"Harry," Hermione says a little breathlessly while her mum goes and checks on dinner. "The jacket you left here is not your favorite jacket. You left it here months ago and never bothered getting it back."
"Well, now it's my favorite one since it gave me a good enough excuse to come and see you tonight," he says as Jane returns to see him kiss her daughter again.
Both moms sigh in happiness for their kids. Hermione pulls back red face after a few minutes.
"You need to go now," she says in a low voice. "And no funny business tonight Mister Potter. I don't want to wake up at three in the morning with your drunkenness at my door wanting some loving again."
"I've only done that once… or twice," Harry whines as his mother and Jane laugh. "Besides if I remember correctly, you enjoyed it immensely."
"Harry," Hermione almost screeches.
"Alright, alright, I am out of here," Harry says pulling back with a mischief smile. "I'll bring breakfast for the two of us if that is okay with you."
"Well breakfast is not a bad idea," she says smiling up at him.
"Alright, then it is decided," he says leaning over to give her a kiss on the cheek. "I'll see you at three in the morning with breakfast. Bye mum, bye Lady Black."
He apparates before anyone can answer or fully process what he said.
"Did he just…" Hermione begins as the older women nod at her with huge grins in their faces.
"Young love," Lily says finally after a few moments of silence as Jane thinks of her relationship with her deceased first love.
As the women continue to remember their younger years Hermione just starts setting the table in amazement of her boyfriend daring nature.
"Dinner is ready," Hermione says to her guest as a sad smile crosses her mom's face.
Hermione remembers her parent's relationship. She always wanted something like that but now that she is older she remembers all the heartache and fights between them. Her parents had married young due to feeling obligated to raise their daughter despite them being children themselves of the tender age of fifteen and sixteen. They had once dreamed of being dentist but unfortunately that never happened.
In her darkest moments, she felt like it was all her fault that her bright parents couldn't make their dreams come truth, but at the end of the day she knew they never regretted the decision they made of staying together and raising her.
That is how deeply they loved her.
"Thanks, sweetheart," Jane says giving her daughter a warm smile. A reassuring smile. "I bet that it is delicious."
"So," Lily begins as they start on the main course. "How did it go with the healer? How are the babies and you doing, Jane?"
All three settles in to talk of the Black twins. As a light as their conversation is there is something heavy in their mind and heart. Something the three women have decided to keep quiet, for now.
