Ok, so here it is! As promised! The next chapter!

Matt slowed to a stop. His gas tank was running low. He had enough to make to Hermione's, but not enough to make it back to the gas station from there, and not to mention he windshield was so dirty he could hardly see out. He walked over to get the window wiper when a lady passed carrying her change and a bag carrying the items she had purchased from the store. As she walked, part of her change fell to the ground. Matt set down the wiper and picked up the five.

"Excuse me, Mam. Sorry, you dropped this." He said, getting the lady's attention. She turned around. "Oh thank you, sir! I just have too much to carry I suppose!" She said with a laugh.

"It's no problem." Replied Matt. The lady looked extremely familiar to him, but he couldn't place who it was. He watched her walk back to her car, once again picking up the wiper, recognizing the man as well.

"Excuse me!" Said Matt, walking over towards them. "Sorry to bother you again, but, and forgive me if I'm wrong, but are you by chance Hermione Granger's parents?"

They looked at him a bit oddly. "Yes, we are. Why?"

"Hello! I'm Matt. Hermione and I are friends. I saw a picture of you two a her flat."

"Matt! Oh it's a pleasure to meet you," said Mrs. Granger. "Honey, come here! It's Hermione friend, Matt!" Mr. Granger got out of the car.

"Hello Matt!"

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Granger. I'm not sure if Hermione's mentioned me, but we use to—"

"—Work together. Yes, Hermione's told us all about you!" For a moment, Matt froze. Had she told them about the time he kissed her? By the happy look upon their faces, his guess was no.

"Yes, it's a pleasure to finally meet you," said Mr. Granger.

"The way she talks about you, you'd think it was the two of you getting married!" Matt forced a laugh with the Granger's.

"I just want to thank you for all the help you gave Hermione. Helping her get situated in the new town, and helping her finally date Ron—"

"Oh, I didn't help her and Ron get together."

"Oh nonsense! Hermione's told us that if it weren't for you, she and Ron would have never gotten together," said Mr. Granger. "Really though, thank you for all your help."

"It was no problem, really," replied Matt with a smile. "You have a really wonderful daughter."

"Well, from the way she talks about you, you must be pretty wonderful as well," said Mrs. Granger. Had Hermione really talked about him that much? "We must be going, but it was truly a pleasure meeting you, Matt. Hopefully we'll see you soon and we can talk more!"

"Oh yes, the wedding!" said Mrs. Granger, as if it had slipped her mind. She opened the door to the car.

"Nice meeting you!" Matt waved and walked back to his car. Well that was certainly interesting to meet them at a gas station. They must have just left Hermione's. Matt finally washed his windshield, filled the tank with gas and drove towards his destination.

A knock came at the door. "Ron! That's probably Matt; could you get the door for me?" Hermione shouted from their room upstairs.

"Sure!" Replied Ron, walking to the door. Indeed it was Matt. "Hey!" Ron greet him as he opened the door.

"Hey!" Responded Matt. "Hermione left her scarf, yesterday."

"Oh yeah! Here, let me get her." He turned inside. "Hermione! Matt's here!" He called up to her.

"I'll be down in just a minute!" She replied.

"Come on in." Said Ron, opening the door full so that Matt could enter.

"So congratulations, again," said Matt, still holding the scarf as Ron shut the door.

"Oh, thanks! And thanks for bringing Hermione's scarf by. It must be way out of your way."

"Oh it's no problem!" Like I said, I was in the area anyway,"

"Matt!" Hermione stood atop the stairs beaming.

"Hey!" Hermione began to trot down the stairs to meet him. "Here's your scarf," He said, handing it to her.

"Thanks," she replied. "So why you're here, why don't you stay for a while?"

"Oh, no, I couldn't possibly—"

"No really! Stay for a while," Said Ron.

"Ok, I'll stay for a while." They walked to the couches and took a seat. "Guess who I ran into on my way here?"

"Who?" Asked Hermione.

"Guess."

"Um..." Hermione thought about it. Who could it be? "Emily?" She asked.

"No."

"I—I don't know!"

"You can get it!"

"No, I can't!

"It's someone you know."

Hermione was perplexed. "My parents?"

"Yeah!"

Hermione laughed. "No, really. Who?"

"I'm serious! I ran into your parents."

"Really?" Asked Hermione in disbelief. "How?"

"I had to stop and get gas, and apparently they did too."

"That's so cool! So did you talk to them?"

Ron watched them busily chatting away, joining their conversation when he could. The two got along very well, in fact, all three of them did.

"So why are out here anyway?"

"I'm going to see Emily."

"Doesn't Emily live further west?"

"Yeah."

"Oh Matt! You didn't need to go out of your way!"

"It's not a problem."

"Seriously though. I could have come by and picked it up."

"Don't worry about it." Matt glanced at his watch. "I better get going. I told Emily I would be there by 4:30."

"Oh ok." The three friends stood up and walked towards the door.

"I'll see you both later then," said Matt, opening the door. "Bye, Hermione! See you, Ron!" He nodded and walked outside.

"Bye Matt! And thanks! Tell Emily I said hi!"

"Bye Matt! Thanks for coming by!"

"And congratulations again. I'm really—happy for you." Matt stepped into his car once the couple had returned inside, and put his keys into the ignition. "Really happy."

So there it is! It's nice to write Matt again. I'll update with the next chapter either tonight or soon. Thanks for reading!
