Harry got out of the taxi. He was in a long street full of big, modern- looking detached houses. The street lamps were shining brightly and proudly. A few cats roamed freely along the sidewalk. One cat stood out from the others. A scruffy ginger cat ran up to Harry and began rubbing against his legs.

''Long time no see, eh Crookshanks?'' Harry smiled as he bent down to stroke the feline.

''That'll be three pounds fifty-nine pence, mate,'' said the taxi driver. Harry paid the driver and thanked him. After the car drove away, Harry returned his attention to Crookshanks. He followed the cat to one of the houses which had a huge garden filled with ornaments 'Definitely 'miones house,' thought Harry.

''Uncle Harry! Uncle Harry!''

Harry felt two small arms go around his waist. He looked down to see a young boy, around four years old, smiling up at him.

''Jordan, how's it going, pal?'' Harry said happily.

''Great, Uncle Harry. Come in.'' replied the young boy.

Harry entered the house and into the hall. ''Mum, he's here. Come and see!'' Jordan called up the stairs. Harry heard pounding footsteps above him and Hermione appeared.

''Harry!'' she cried happily. She ran up to him and embraced him. ''Oh, I've missed you so much.''

''Right back at you, Herm.'' Harry said.

''Hey, that's my wife your talking to, buddy,'' said a voice behind them. Harry turned to see a friendly looking man. The man had light brown hair and hazel eyes that shone brightly behind small reading glasses. ''You must be the famous Harry I keep hearing about,'' he held out his hand to shake, ''I'm Adam''. Adam seemed quite posh by his speech and physical look.

''It is nice to finally meet you, Adam.'' Harry said in his best posh voice.

''Likewise.'' Adam replied.

Hermione rolled her eyes, ''Oh shut up, both of you. Acting all posh, ridiculous!''

Harry and Adam looked at each other before laughing.

For the rest of the evening, Harry and Hermione caught up and Adam told Harry about himself. Hermione and he worked for the ministry of magic, Hermione as a magic career councillor, and Adam as part of the misuse of muggle artefacts office staff along with Mr Weasley. After meeting Hermione at an office party, Adam asked Hermione out and soon they were planning their wedding. They had a son, Jordan, soon after the big day.

After hours of catching up, Harry went to bed. As he lay down on the bed in the guest room, Harry thought about what was happening the next day. Tomorrow he would finally see Ron, his best friend, again. With that, Harry fell asleep.

A.N. Hope you all enjoyed this. The next chapter is the start of the mystery; Adam is one of my own characters. Keep reviewing!
