Daddy Harry

A/N: To answer some questions.

1. The reasons that the Weasley's weren't really mad at the two of them for what happened, is because, they have been trying to get them together since the defeat of Voldemort. I know that this seems completely out of character, but they figured that Harry needed love, and that they would get married eventually anyway, so they weren't to mad at him. Yes they are mad, and that will show up some in this chapter, but at least you know why they seemed out of character.

2. Yes Ron and Hermoine's wedding will be happening at the same time, it will be a double wedding, just because they have always done things together, and you will find out what the Grangers think this chapter.

Chapter Four: Meet the parents

That night, Ron was getting really nervous as he got ready for dinner with Hermoine's parents. He wasn't sure how he was going to ask them for her hand in marriage. Hermoine was trying to comfort him, saying that "my parents love you Ron, they wouldn't want anyone else for me. Don't worry so much." Hermoine gave him a kiss on the cheek to calm him down.

"Thank you moine, I'm sorry that I seem so nervous, but your father scares me. I mean I know he's just a dentist, but he can be scary when he wants to." Ron gave her his lopsided grin and a big hug. "Shall we go down to meet them at the restaurant." Ron offered her his arm, and led her down to Hogsmeade.

Mr and Mrs. Granger were waiting for the couple at the three broomsticks when they walked in. The proprietor was being very nice to them, and served them tea and coffee, while they waited. Hermoine gave her parents a big hug and kiss, while Ron shook there hands and they sat down to dinner. "Well Ron, your mom told us that you two had a big announcement for us when she picked us up this afternoon. Would you care to inform us, or do we have to guess." Mr. Granger looked at Ron with some reservation in his eyes.

"Well Mr and Mrs. Granger, I proposed to Moine just last week, and she accepted. We would like to invite you to the wedding next month." Ron squeezed Moine's hand for reassurance. "I know that this seems a bit quick, but you see, we're planning this wedding as a double wedding to go with my sister Ginny's and her fiancee Harry's wedding. We know that we're young, but we are very much in love." Ron bent down and gave Hermoine a kiss to prove his point.

Mr Granger looked like he was going to explode when he said. "Not only are you two to young, but I can't believe that you asked her without asking our permission for her hand in marriage." Looking over at his daughter. "Are you pregnant, is this why he asked you?"

"Daddy, no I'm not. Ron loves me, and I love him. We are going to get married next month whether your there or not." Hermoine looked like she was going to cry, so Ron held her while trying to hold back his anger.

"I can't believe you asked her that. You are still welcome to the wedding, but you will not put her down again. I'm sorry, but I'm no longer hungry. Please enjoy your dinner." Looking at Hermoine, Ron asked, "are you coming back with me now?" He asked in a quiet voice, so as to make it a question, not a demand.

Hermoine looked up and him and said, "no Ron, I think I need to stay and talk to my parents. I will see you when I get back to our room." She smiled up at him, and he bent down to give her a kiss.

"Ok Moine, I will see you when you get back. Mr and Mrs. Granger, it was so nice to see you again." Ron shook there hands again, and on his way out, he got a case of butter beer for there stash in the common room. "I love you moine, I will see you when you get back." Ron smiled and walked out of the Three Broomsticks and back to the castle.

"Well that went well." Hermoine tried to crack a joke. "I'm sorry mom and dad, but I love him, and we are adults. We do know what we are doing. I know you still see me as a little girl, but I have gone through so much over the last few years, and ever since Voldemort's defeat, we have gotten closer. I hope you can understand, and still walk me down the aisle daddy." Hermoine said with a tear in her eyes.

"We are only worried about you Moine, but we understand, don't we dear?" Her mother said looking at her dad.

"Yes we do understand. We know that he will treat you right sweety. We will be there, if you still want us. Please apologize to Ron for us, and I would love to be there to give you away at your wedding." Hermoine's dad said this, then they ate there dinner, and had small talk. At the end of the dinner, they walked her back to the castle, where they were going to floo back to the Burrow, where Mrs. Weasley was going to get them back home.

At the same time, Harry and Ginny were meeting Mr and Mrs. Weasley at the leaky cauldron for dinner. They had flooed there from Dumbledores office about an hour ago, and met them and the rest of the family, for a dinner that neither of them would forget.

When they got there, Mrs. Weasley pulled Ginny away for a woman to woman talk while Mr. Weasley and the rest of the Weasley men pulled Harry over to the bar to talk to him.

The conversation between Ginny and her mother went quite well, she asked Ginny how the pregnancy was going, and gave her a book on how to be a good mother, then they had a quiet dinner together.

The men on the other hand were taking Harry and giving him a once over. "How can you do this to our sister/little girl? She is our little girl, and you took and got her pregnant. We know that you love her, and that you were going to ask her to marry you anyway, but how come you had to get her pregnant? She's to young to be a mother." They all said this at once, and Harry was getting a headache from there yelling.

"Like I had planned on her getting pregnant. We forgot to do the contraception charm the one time we had sex. I'm sorry, but at least I'm taking responsibility for what I did. Like you said I was going to ask her to marry me anyway. So it's a little bit earlier than we thought, but we love each other, and I want to make her happy. We don't want to wait til this summer for the wedding for one good reason, she would be 4 months pregnant at that time, and can you imagine what people would think if she showed up pregnant at the wedding. I know your saying that she shouldn't have to go through this, but we do love each other, and we are going through with it." Harry looked at each of them straight in the eye.

"Ok Harry, I have always loved you like a son, and we have been planning for this wedding since you defeated Voldemort. Welcome to the family Harry." Mr. Weasley said with a smile on his face. "But if you do anything to hurt my little girl, you won't make it to your next birthday.

Harry gulped and nodded his head. "I understand everyone. Thank you." With that Harry and the men joined the ladies for dinner just before they ordered.
