AN: Sorry if I hadn't updated in a while, this month was very busy for me. I had to focus all of my attention to my thesis and fortunately I was able to graduate college 😁😁
July 14 1991
Harry and Hermione were cuddling in the couch of their tent watching a comedy, they were now more affectionate towards each other as they were now an official couple. Luna was with them and was at the right side of Hermione.
"You know, I've decided that spell crafting and enchanting will be like my thing." Luna said in the middle of the movie, the couple stopped cuddling and Harry paused the movie they were watching. "Like Harry has his gadgets and like engineering, while you have your chemistry and alchemy. I need something, which will drive me to learn like you two. What do you think?" Luna continued
"You know what? That's actually great, I mean in the future I'll definitely need some knowledge about enchanting and spell crafting." Harry said
"Ooh, we can help each other, imagine. Harry and I just created a piece of technology or alchemy stones, then you can base your creation of spells and enchantments on the things that are lacking from our invention and we can create something that also based on your creations" Hermione continued Harry's point excitedly.
"I like that future babe, with the three of us we can multiply our inventions and really make a great impact not just on Magical Britain but to the Magical World." Harry replied, Hermione looked at him when he said babe and smiled brightly, she then nodded to his point.
"Then we can have lots of money, buy lots of pudding, and have lots of pets and travel around the world." Luna said while looking into space to imagine. "Aaaaannnnddd we can protect a lot of muggleborns and reduce the prejudice that exists on our society." Hermione replied
"Okay we'll talk about what we'll do in the long run later and let's talk now on how we can help Luna become a spell crafter and enchanter." Harry interjected
"We need, another tent, this tent will have our rooms and we'll replace your workshop and my lab into storage rooms. The other tent will be the place where we have our lab, workshop and a room for Luna and the Library. Wait I'll make a list." Hermione said she then went up to get her planner and her pen. Luna and Harry waited for Hermione to finish her list before suggesting more ideas.
"We need to make Luna her wand that is undetectable by the Ministry." Harry said "We also need to strengthen the wards around the camp. Things will get more dangerous for us if our camp is compromised." Harry continued.
"I need books about enchanting and spell crafting. We also need to get stronger, many people will want our inventions and thus risk ours and our family's lives. "Luna said, the two nodded at her idea about getting stronger, many wizards and witches will endanger them. "What about we hide our identities, like the face we will wear for the world will be the three of us as an average witches and wizard with an above average intellect but not capable of doing the things we'll do in the future?" Luna continued.
"Yeah, who would expect three students who got above average grades at Hogwarts be the inventors of the century." Harry said. "Okay that's that, what about funds? We need to sell the Marijuana immediately to boost our finances exponentially, we can probably buy this lot of land like we always planned with the money from selling weed." Hermione said.
"Yes, but we're still 14 year olds, we need something that will hide our identity when we sell the weed." Harry replied, then the three became silent to think, "how about polyjuice potion? It's a potion that will change our physical appearance for a time." Luna suggested, "The downside is that it takes too long to brew." Luna continued, dejected about the big flaw of her suggestion, then another idea popped into her mind, "how about we brew, ageing potions, it's easier, it last longer than polyjuice and we can disillusion our appearance so that it will still be hidden." Luna said
"Alright I think we got a plan for this summer. My family is going on a 2 weeks' vacation on the first week of July too in France. What about the two of you? Got family plans to this summer?" Hermione asked
"I don't know as of yet but my dad and I usually go to northern Europe to find the crumple-horned snorkack. It's usually around three weeks at July too." Luna answered. "Nothing I know of" Harry replied to Hermione's question after Luna.
"Okay we'll coordinate the time we will go on vacation. So that our plans will still continue." Hermione said
James and Lily were in the dining table at the Potter house, they just tucked Rose into bed and made Scott go to sleep. The relationship between them and Harry had improved a lot since his first date with Hermione, he spent more time in the house than he usually does. He would just wake up eat breakfast alone pack lunch and dinner and go home by 11 pm. Now, he already ate with them every breakfast and oftentimes lunch and dinner. It was 9pm and Harry isn't still home yet. They were discussing their day, their work like usual and how to deal with Harry and their growing relationship.
"Lily, I think we should go on a vacation this summer. It would get us some family time and it would let us escape the media here especially now that Scott's going to Hogwarts." James suggested, he looked at his wife to see if she agrees with his idea.
"I think that's a great idea, but we should go somewhere new, not the times where…" Lily trailed off, every time she remembers how they neglected Harry she always trails off to her thoughts. She snapped out when James took her hand with both of his hands and kissed it.
"Yes, we should go somewhere new, with new memories and as a fresh start." James said while trailing kisses in her wife's hand. Lily leaned in and kiss her husband on the lips. "It's going to be alright, every day it's getting better, his closer now especially after you helped him in his first date and every day his getting closer and closer to us all we have to do is to do this one step at a time." James continued, this was toughest and hardest moment of their lives, this was a challenge on their family and the two of them would do their best to keep it intact.
"Thank you honey, I needed that" Lily replied, she leaned in again and kissed his husband, at first it was a slow kiss then slowly became more heated, James pulled Lily for her to sit in his lap, and she did. Twenty years they had been together and they were still in-love, they were men and women who tempted them to cheat on the other, but their love prevail every time that happened. The only thing that almost made them to be separated was when the two were they were always busy and the stress of being the parents of the boy-who-lived didn't help matters either but they got past it and they were a stronger couple together. The kiss was broken and they decided it was time to go to bed.
They were in the living room when the door suddenly opened, it was Harry, his eyes were a little heavy, obviously he was sleepy and he was looking at the two of them. "Good Evening mum, dad. I'm home." Harry said.
"Good evening Harry, can we talk to you for a minute before you head to up to sleep?" James asked. "Yeah sure" Harry replied, he then sat down at the nearest chair of the living room, and his parents followed him. "So what do you want to talk about?" Harry asked
"We'd want to ask you if you want join us on a vacation? Just the five of us, and we'd really hope for you to join us." Lily said.
"Yeah, sure, when will we go?" Harry asked. "Well, we still have to make plans about the vacation." Lily answered. "Can I tell you when it will be the best time for me to have the vacation?" Harry asked again. "Of course, we'll do our best to coordinate it with your schedule." James answered.
"Okay, is that all? I want to go to bed already." Harry said, his eyes were heavy already, it wasn't surprising as he, Hermione and Luna had worked in the camp for their plans. "Yes, that's all, you can go to bed now. Good night." Lily said, "Okay. Good Night you two." Harry replied and he went upstairs. James and Lily stayed a bit in the living room to say some ideas for the vacation, when the two were feeling tired, they decided it was a discussion for tomorrow and they headed upstairs too.

The three were back in the tent the next day, it was around 4 in the afternoon and they were taking a break from working. They had cleared out all the bushes, trees and rocks that the second tent would be places and started the basic foundations that would protect their tent from the rain, falling leaves and the wind. They were in front of the fire at the front of their tent, eating some cold snacks to refresh themselves.
"Hey, my mum and dad asked me to join their vacation, but it was still a fresh idea so I don't know when will go to this vacation." Harry said, while eating. "Well I'm going to be gone for two weeks and we'll go at the first week of July." Hermione said, "And I and my dad are probably gone for three weeks and we'll go at the second week of July." Luna added
"So any week of July is probably the best to have that vacation." Harry thought out loud. "Oooor the best time to have your vacation is from next week to the end of June. So within that two weeks." Luna said. "Why?" Harry looked at her with a confuse face. Hermione looked at Luna too, waiting for her answer. "So Hermione and I can have an alone time without you, then me and you, and then you and Hermione." Luna answered.
"Oooh, we can have a slumber party while Harry is gone Luna." Hermione said,
"Okay so next week to the end of June is the best time for me to have the vacation. 5 days for them to plan it, probably enough time." Harry said
"I'll update the planner and after that I'm done for the day, I just want to lay in bed when I got home." Hermione said

It had been a 3 days that Harry left for their vacation, Luna and Hermione were in the living room, they had asked permission to their parents that they were having a sleep over for three nights. They had done shopping in a grocery store, they bought food for their meals, a lot of chips, sodas and ice cream, they had also bought a lot of magazines and 6 movies, 2 movies for each night, and a lot of new music.(AN: What I'm exactly picturing this scene is the time Max and Eleven from Stranger Things went to the mall had a sleepover), they had also visited some clothing shop, accessory shop and the saloon, it was girl time between them, no Harry and no project they are learning and no working. The couches were push far from the television, and in the middle of the couch and television were a couple of mattresses, it was the second night of their sleepover, they were about to watch the second movie, Hermione and Luna were squatting on the floor, Hermione was eating her ice cream while Luna was beside her petting Crookshanks and feeding her ice cream.
"You know I think my mum had some hair brush that would help your be hair be tamed." Luna said "Yeah let's try the magical way of taming my hair." Hermione replied, Luna nodded, while licking her spoon that she use to eat her ice cream "the muggle way wasn't much help either, only some advices and tips to lessen the bushiness of your hair." Luna said.
"Maybe if we create some enchanted hair brush we can make my hair curly instead of being bushy" Hermione suggested, she really wanted to lessen the bushiness of her hair, it was annoying, hard to take care of and hard to wash, plus it doesn't really look good. "Oooohh it can be my first project, make you a hair brush that would make your hair curly." Luna said excitedly, "Maybe that shouldn't be the only thing that your project be, maybe your project will be to create and re-create enchanted items that make our lives easier. But let's talk about it after our sleepover, for now let's enjoy the movie." Hermione said and the two continued to watch the movie
July 25, 1991
After Luna and Hermione had spent their time together, they bounced ideas off each other about enchanting everyday items. Harry then arrived in the afternoon while they were studying the hair brush that her mother had. Harry helped and provided some books her mother had given him. It was 3 days after he had arrived that Hermione went with her family for a vacation. Five days after Hermione left that Luna's and Harry's friendship become stronger but Harry wanted the two of them to be best friends like she and Hermione had become so Harry want to go out with her like he and Hermione had done before they were a couple.
So Harry planned on having a good time with her, he planned the week out where they would go to an arcade, go to a mix tape store, cafe and the zoo. There were places that Harry wanted to bring Luna like to pet shop so he can buy her a pet that she fancies, the movies and the park or go out to eat. But didn't want to cross a boundary between them but he would just let things be and try to enjoy the time with her.
Luna was grateful for the initiative Harry had taken to strengthen their friendship. She was able to enjoy the stuff the muggle world had to offer that she and Hermione weren't able to do when they had their slumber party. Luna really enjoyed the time at the arcade and the music store. Harry had even given her two music player that he found and fixed, one was with speakers and the second was a portable one. But what she really enjoyed was the zoo. It was fascinating how the muggles were able to do to make the animal's life in captivity to be like the wild. Luna was really amazed of how Harry explained to her the different technologies that were used and how they function. Then an Idea popped into her mind, they were so well versed in the muggle world but weren't well-versed in the magical world, so she's going to show the two of them the entertaining places and stuffs that magical Britain has to offer.
