A.N This is the sequel to Secrets Withheld, so I HIGHLY recommend that you read that one first or you'll have no idea what's going on in this one. Enjoy!

Hermione took one tentative step down the stairs and then another. Her parents had just permitted her to enter the main floor once again.

"Mum?" she said, walking slowly into the kitchen.

"Yes, darling?"

"What did you and Dad decide?"

Veronica sighed. "Your father would feel better after meeting Viktor, so if you could write to him and invite him over for the summer."

Hermione turned around to go back upstairs and write her love a letter, but Veronica called:

"Wait, Hermione. Invite his parents too!"

Hermione looked at her mother. "All right."

***

'Dear Viktor' she wrote in her most romantic script, in her most romantic color of ink, on her most romantic piece of parchment (the one with the faint pink hearts on it). But, 'dear Viktor' wasn't good enough.

She leaned down from her desk and pulled out a small bottle of "Parchment Clear.' She rubbed some over the words 'dear Viktor.' The white substance on the parchment faded, leaving only what looked to be unused her parchment.

She sat for just a moment thinking of a way to begin the letter. She picked up her quill again and began:

'Dearest Viky-pooh, (A.N Thank you, Krum-luver!)


I told Harry and Ron about our little engagement. They were wonderful! Harry congratulated us and Ron actually began to cry! He said that he knew it would've been you from the start. He aslo said that he wants to be the flower girl.

So, yes, I was lying. Harry took it well. He was most happy for us. Not to mention that I let him in on your little secret. Or, soon to be, ours.

Ron, on the other hand, did not take it well at all. He was furious. He said some things that I shall hit him for later.

Mum and Dad weren't exactly pleased either. Correction, Mum was pretty happy (don't know what she's on..). Dad, on the other hand, was furious. Much the same as Ron, although Dad kept the language down to a minmum. Or so I
heard. Anyway, Mum and Dad want you to visit. Well, you and your parents. Can they make it? Or would only your mother be able to?

Anyway, just let me know later.

Love always,
Hermione 3'

She slid the letter into an envelope. She tied the letter to the leg of the owl that Viktor had conveniently purchased for her.

Hermione smiled, watching the beautiful tawny owl take flight outside her window, flying out into sunset. Hermione didn't even notice when the owl circled around her home, after realizing that it was headed in the wrong direction.

Thank yous to:

Angel-Goddess: You wanna know what? We're back together. It will be 3 weeks this Thursday. He abandoned his friends to sit at the girl's table, which has a total of two guys. He said today that his friends abandoned him, to which I reminded him that he abandoned them to sit with the girls. Figures, about Herm's parents, huh? I think they came up with a reasonable way to solve this partially. Thanks!

Shelly Salmalin: Don't be a stranger on the review boards! Thanks again!
