1"... except for Divination of course." Albus concluded causing his wife and daughter to roll their eyes.
"What a waste of my time that was." Minerva stated.
"I agree 1000 percent. She always told Harry she saw the grim in his tea leaves and one day she asked me what I saw. Naturally I said 'the grim.' She preceded to tell me how I wasn't meant for divination." Hermione explained.
"I assume that is the day you walked out of class." Minerva questioned.
"Yes it was." Hermione replied.
It had been about a week since the secret of the Dumbledore family had been revealed to Harry and Hermione. Hermione had spent all of her free time with her parents, getting to know them better. She had truly enjoyed that time. She had come to find out just how much she was like her parents. Harry on the other hand avoided them at all costs.
Albus had spoken to him about the end of fifth year, but got no response. Albus felt that maybe the reason he was pulling away from his family was because of what Albus told him the end of fifth year. He did not want this to effect Minerva and Hermione so he tried to explain to Harry, but Harry wouldn't hear it.
Harry had no idea, but Albus knew, how Harry's terrible attitude towards them hurt Minerva deeply. She would cry herself to sleep each night. Albus knew how she felt, for he felt it too, but he tried to stay strong for his wife.
"Albus? Minerva?" His daughters voice brought him out of his thoughts.
"Yes, dear?"
"I was wondering if maybe... I.. It might be alright," she started off nervously, "If I calledyoumumanddad." She said it so quickly it took Albus and Minerva a minute to comprehend.
"I still love the Grangers and all," She continued, "but, some things have changed and I've already talked this over with them. They feel that it's a good idea for me to call them by their first names as well..." Hermione rambled on nervously at a quick pace.
"We would be honored, darling." Minerva replied with tears in her eyes, and Albus nodded as well. Hermione gave her mother a huge hug.
"I love you mum."
"I love you too, Hermione Dumbledore." Minerva replied placing a kiss on her head and holding her tight.
Minerva eventually released Hermione from the hug and she walked over to her father. She gave him a hug as well.
"I love you daddy." Hermione told him.
"I love you too, sweetheart." Albus held his daughter tight and smiled at his wife.
"Well I had better get back and check on Harry." Hermione said walking towards the door. "Bye Mum, bye Dad."
It made Albus and Minerva more happy to hear those words than Hermione would ever know. But, they were still worried about their son.
"Hello Harry," Hermione said entering the common room.
"Hey," was his monotonic reply.
"Harry look, you haven't talked to anyone in days. You and I need to have a serioud talk."
"Fine Mione, let's get this over with."
"Harry I don't think you have the slightest clue how much you are hurting mum and dad by being angry at them."
"Oh so it's Mum and Dad now?" Harry questioned.
"Harry, I've spent the past week getting to know our parents, as our parents not our teachers. They are incredible people but, I don't need to tell you that. I know you know that. They love us so much Harry! Why can't you see that. They've spent our whole lives trying to protect us." Hermione exclaimed raising her voice. When he didn't reply she went up to bed without a word.
With Hermione's words stuck in his mind, Harry made a decision.
A few minutes later Harry found himself walking through his mother's office and to the door of his parents chambers. He knocked loudly on the door. Minerva answered the door, obviously surprised to see him.
"Sorry if I woke you," Harry said.
"No not at all Harry, Your fath... Albus and I were just playing a game of chess. Do come in."
"I just want to apologize for the way I have acted this week. I know how much it must have hurt you." Harry started. "I felt hurt and betrayed, but after talking to Hermione, I realized that maybe what you did was right. You thought it was, and it kept us safe, and I respect that."
"We do hope you will forgive us for all of the secret Harry." Minerva said apologetically.
"It's really me who should be apologizing. You didn't do anything wrong now that I think about it. I've treated you like dirt, even when really before all of this you two were the only people who were always their for me as parents." Minerva smiled at this, "Yea Sirius was a role model to me, but he was more like a brother. And Mrs and Mr. Weasley they care about me I know, but I don't know. I feel like they are always trying to baby me. You two have always been helpful and honest with me, well almost always, and I really appreciate that." Harry concluded.
"About the prophecy Harry," Albus started, but was interrupted by Harry.
"You were probably right about that too." Harry admitted, "It was just all too much to handle, with Sirius and all." Harry stopped for a moment before realizing something.
"Sirius was my real godfather right?"He questioned.
"Yes, he and James both were."Minerva told him. "And Harry, don't feel bad about the way you acted. I understand why you reacted the way you did."
"Thank you" Harry said, giving each of his parents a hug. "Well I should be off to bed now. Goodnight."
The 3 of them all had smiles on their faces. Hermione too, after Harry told her what had happened, because things were finally beginning to look good for the Dumbledores.
