Loyalty

Part 11-Telling Dad

Disclaimer-I do not own anything that has to do with Harry Potter…I wish I did…but I don't.

Thank you to all of me reviewers! So…last time on Loyalty…

"Well your charming."

"Your funny."

"Your famous."

"So are you."

"I'm not famous. I'm just the-boy-who-lives side-kick."

"Ron you're not my side-kick. You're my best friend." Harry assured. "Now pass me the juice."

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Harry, Hermione, and Ron were walking around the frozen lake, snow falling all around them. Today was the last day before winter break. The trio would all be going to Hermione's.

"I told my mum about us going out Harry." Hermione said.

"Really? What did she say?"

"She is really happy for us."

"And what about Jack?"

Hermione went silent and Ron stared at his two friends in amusement. "He doesn't know." She whispered.

"What!"

"Yeah…so were going to keep it a secret because I don't want to tell him."

"No way! I can't keep my hands off of you for 5 minuets let alone a week! I'll just tell him myself."

"Fine, but when you do I want to be as far away as possible." She said. "And with Ron there to protect me."

" 'Mione what's your dad going to do about it?" Ron asked. "Your 16! You should be allowed to have a boyfriend."

"Well my mom says I can, but my dad doesn't want to face the fact that his only child is in love with another man than himself."

"How come you didn't just ask Cindy to talk to him for us?" Harry asked.

"Mum said I have to do it on my own. Something along the lines of 'your father has to let you go on his own'."

"Do it right away. Please. The longer we keep this from him the more angry he will be."

"Ok." She sighed. "I will."

"Hey 'Mione?"

"Yeah Ron?"

In one swift movement a handful of snow was shoved in her face. "Eat snow!"

"Ronald Weasley! You are going to pay for that!" She squealed whipping her wet cheek.

"Hey!" Harry yelled, picking up a handful of snow. "You can't do that to my girlfriend." Hermione let out a sigh of relief until Harry added, "But me." And threw the wad of snow on the other side of her face.

"Hey! 2 against 1 Is not fair!"

"Do you really think we play fair?" Ron asked mischievously, packing more snow into his hand.

"No, but I do."

Ron threw the ball at Hermione, and just before it hit her, she ducked, the snow hitting Harry squarely in the nose.

"Your on my team!"

"When it comes to this type of war mate…there are no sides."

Hermione crept off to the side and watched in amusement as her two best friends had an all out war. She thought they had forgotten about her when Harry came at her, a piece of snow in hand.

"Harry…you don't want to hit little old me now do you?" she asked twirling her fingers in his hair.

"What will you give me if I don't?"

"Something you love." She smiled, and kissed him gently on the lips.

"Hey!" Ron yelled. "No swooning with the enemy!

"But she's so irresistible."

"Fight the urge mate! Fight the urge!"

"Can't…stop…teenage…hormones…raging!"

Hermione laughed and broke away from Harry, slyly picking up 2 snowballs and throwing them at Ron and Harry. "That's what you get." She smirked. "Now I'm starving, and cold, so I'm going up to dinner. You two coming?"

"Yeah."

"She plays fair my ass." Ron mumbled to Harry, and both boys laughed on their way up to the Great Hall.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

It was around noon the next day and the trio sat in a compartment on the Hogwarts Express. Ron was asleep at the window, Hermione was asleep on Ron's shoulder, and Harry was asleep on Hermione's shoulder. He was the first to wake up when he herd a knock at the door and Neville walked in.

"Hey you guys, the train stopped."

Ron and Hermione stirred awake and hobbled out of the compartment behind Harry.

"Eww…I smell like Ron." Hermione mumbled.

"And what's wrong with that?"

"Nothing…just I like the smell of Harry better."

"Oh gee thanks. That makes me feel good."

"Your welcome. Now come on, my parents are waiting over there."

Cindy ran over to her only daughter and engulfed her into an enormous hug.

"Hey mum, dad." She said and then pointed towards Ron. "This is my other best friend. Ron Weasley."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Cindy, and this is my husband Jack."

"Thank you for having me over for Christmas."

"No problem." Cindy said as everyone piled into the car. "The more the merrier. And Harry, how are you?"

"I'm doing great thanks."

"Ok Ron…" Jack started. "Here are some ground rules."

"Dad!" Hermione shouted. "Stop. Don't even start."

"Start what? He needs to know the ruled of the house."

"Yeah like put the toilet seat down, and rinse your plate when you're done. Not sex talks."

" 'Mione he needs to kn…"

"Dad! He has his own parents to teach him that!"

"Jack leave the kids alone." Cindy said. "There all 16, old enough to handle themselves."

"Fine! As long as I don't walk in on Harry and Hermione in bed again I'll be fine."

"What!" Ron shrieked. "They were in bed!"

"Ron…I was helping Harry sleep because he was having more nightmares."

"You're having more Harry? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Well they kinda stopped one day and my dreams went back to being fairly normal."

"Oh, that's good."

"Were here." Cindy said and everyone got out of the car and carried their trunks inside.

Hermione led the boys to the room Harry was in last time and showed Ron his bed.

"You guys stay here while I go talk to my dad."

"You're going to tell him?" Harry asked.

"Yeah. Wish me luck."

"Good luck."

Hermione trudged into the kitchen to see her mum and dad making dinner.

"Hey honey." Cindy said. "Where are Harry and Ron?"

"There in their room. I was actually hoping we could talk about Harry."

"Why would we talk abo…oh…oh!" She set down the plate and started walking away.

"No mum! I need your support."

"Bye!"

Hermione turned around and stared at her dad.

"What about Harry?" He asked.

"Well…I…uh…we…"

"Are you pregnant?"

"No dad! God!"

"Well what is it then?"

"Were going out."

"Like boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"Yes." Hermione shut her eyes and waited for her dad to yell, but he didn't. he put his arm on her shoulder and looked her in the eyes.

"I couldn't think of a better young man to look after my daughter."

"Really?"

"Really."

Hermione hugged her dad, and Jack hugged his only daughter. "I love you."

"I love you to dad."

"Good. Now go bring our guests down for some dinner."

Hermione made her way up to the boy's room to find them playing chess.

"Did you tell him?"

"Yes."

"Well…what did he say? Does he hate me? Should I always stay 3 feet away from you at all times?"

"No." She laughed. "He is happy it's you."

"Really?"

"Really. Now come on. It's Ron's favorite part of the day."

"Dinner?"

"Yes."
