A/N This might have been out sooner but I was at a friends and well Christmas.

          'C'mon Mummy' Benjy pulled Hermione towards the barrier with amazing strength for a four year old who needed crutches but wasn't using them.

          'Just a second sweetie.' She said letting go of his hand to hug her Mum.

          'I love you sweetheart.'

          'I love you too Mum.' She turned toward her dad.

          'If there's hanything oo heed.'

          'Okay Papa.' She headed toward the barrier realizing this would be the last time she went through this barrier saying good-bye to her parents. The thought made her realize tears were running down her face.

          Ron and Harry were staying at the Burrow for the day; Harry had confided in her that he liked the hustle and bustle of the day the train left at the Weaslys. Of course obviously they would be late.

          She got into the last compartment. Seven years she'd sat here occasionally being joined by other Weaslys Seamus, Dean, and/or Neville (who by the way had turned into a handsome but clumsy boy and was going out with Hannah Abbott).  Next year some other first years would be sitting here. It really made her sad.

          She had just collected herself and was helping Benjy get settled when a twelve-year-old blonde boy slouched in.

          'Hi Hermione hi Benjy.'

          'Hi Justin. How are you doing'?

          'I'm okay a bit shook up. How's Harry?'

          'Ask him yourself Ron and Harry are right behind you.'

          'Hi Justin, how you doing' asked Harry.

          'Okay you?'

          'Getting by.'

          Ron thoroughly annoyed with talk about Voldemort spoke up,

          'I never thought I'd welcome a Malfoy to sit with us.'

Justin laughed.

          'You know Vincent and Gregory actually have

 P-E-R-S-O-N-A-L-I-T-Y-S now!'

          'Never though I'd see the day,' chorused three voices. Neville, Dean, and Seamus had joined them followed by Ginny a while later. The ride after was quite fun.  They were there in no time Hermione felt sad again as she boarded the carriages and was silent the whole ride.

          As they entered the great hall Professor Magonagall came up to them,

          ' Mr. Potter. Ms. Granger the headmaster wishes to see you.'

          'But Professor we haven't done anything' Harry cried. 'Yet' he muttered under his breathe. Professor Magonagall actually smiled,

          'So much like your father. I assure you this time no one has accused you of being Slytherins Heir or helping Sirius Black, or-'  

          'Going after the Sorcerer's Stone, cheating in the Triwizard Tournament, stealing Voldemorts wand (5th year) or using a patronus charm in front of Muggles. (That summer)' Harry finished.

          'Yes. However,' this whole time they had been walking Benjy having been left with Ron and Ginny. 'However Jelly belly.' The gargoyle jumped aside and they entered the headmaster's office, No sooner had they sat down that Fawkes landed on Harry's knee. Harry and Hermione shared a look as Dumbledore entered.  

          'Harry I understand you had a bit of an encounter.' he said softly and gently yet getting straight to the point. Harry nodded and Hermione grasped his hand as he launched into the story, When he started the part where he dueled Voldemort he started to stutter.

          She squeezed his hand and he calmed down. When he finished Dumbledore spoke,

          'Harry you are the bravest boy I have ever known.'

          'Th-thank you Pro-professor.'

          'Stop it Pro-professor Quirell.' Hermione muttered. Harry glared at her then smiled.

          'Harry this might. No will be a huge shock to you.' (A/N should I end it here? Nah)

          'Yes Professor.'

          'Your parents are alive.'
