Chapter 3: Grand Tour & Embarrassing Discussions

"So this is the Great Hall," Hermione began "where all of our meals are eaten. I'll explain more at dinner, Harry and I figured we could all meet Ron and Emily at the Three Broomsticks for lunch."
The older couple could do nothing but nod in agreement , as they stared in wonder at their surroundings. Sure Hermione had told them of all the incredible wonders of the school (like the enchanted ceiling) but it was hard to believe without seeing for yourself.
"Mr. And Mrs. Granger," Harry's voice broke through their musings.
"Please Harry, you can call us Mum and Dad if you like." Mrs. Granger smiled kindly as her husband rested a hand on her shoulder.
"Okay. Mum, Dad."
The words felt strangely foreign on his tongue, but the sound was new and pleasant. Harry couldn't help it as a large grin spread across his face.
Hermione positively beamed at her mother. She knew how much it meant to Harry.
"Well, come on. We'll show you where you will be staying." Harry said, still smiling.

They ascended the grand staircase ("watch out, there's a disappearing step there.") and continued up more flights of stairs, before coming to a halt down one of the corridors. Directly in front of them was a large portrait of a rather fat women in a frilly pink dress.
"Password?" there was a small thud as the Grangers jumped in surprise.
"Tinsel." Harry replied noncantently.
Hermione turned to her mother and father, as the portrait swung forward.
"you'll need to remember that, we will inform you of the new password when it is changed."
Harry smiled as he wrapped his arm around her. 'She sounds exactly like she did at the beginning of the year, when she was showing the first years around.'
The group of four clambered through the doorway, emerging into a cozy red and gold room.
"Now this is the Gryffindor common room," Hermione continued with her "tour" "this is where everyone does homework, plays games and basically just hangs out."
Harry just watched the girls parents, as they examined the place where their daughter had spent the better part of the last five years.
Mr. an- sorry. Mum, Dad let me show you to your room." Harry implied.
After they had taken in their current surroundings, the Grangers followed him up a small flight of stairs concealed behind a tapestry. Hermione explained that the other flight of stairs they had seen lead to dormitories for all of the students, (Emily would share a room with her friend Ginny) and that these lead to the rooms for the Head Boy and Girl.
"If there are only two rooms, then where are you going to sleep dear?" the mother enquired.
Both teens turned about eight shades of red.
"Um, well, that, uh, you see…" Hermione blushed furiously.
"Hermione and I have been sharing her room since the beginning of the school year," (that's when he proposed) Harry still looked quite red himself "you will be staying in my old room."
"Oh, oooooh!" Mr. Granger gave them a knowing glance "It's fine with me, as long as you don't make us grandparents too soon."
Harry coughed, shifting his weight uncomfortably. Hermione just looked plain embarrassed.
"Um," Harry nervously shifted his weight "we'll just let you freshen up before we head into town."
Hermione glad for the change of subject, let herself be lead down the stairs. Once in the common room, she decided to "challenge" Harry to a game of wizard's chess, while her parents got comfortable.
