"I am going to go see him. Calm him down a bit." She said, leaving the kitchen, Ron stood up silently and walked right after her, leaving the rest of the assembled group in a pensive mood.

Harry strode through the hall with a contemplative expression on his face trying to think about what to do next and decided to get some rest. Heading to the stairs in order to search for a room to stay in. Hearing a set of footsteps coming from the kitchen he turned to it and saw Hermione coming from it clearly making her way to him. Stopping at the bottom of the stairs he stood there waiting for her approach.

"Harry." The brunette witch spoke in greeting. To which Harry responded in kind.

"Hermione." He replied, giving her a nod. Hermione walked past him moving up the stairs motioning for him to follow her. Not wanting to anger the smartest witch of the generation followed. Ron, deciding to remain unseen from the 2 for now, walked nearly silently after them, taking care not to be seen. The pair went up 2 flights of stairs passing peeling wall paper and exposed wood from behind the dry wall. Seeing this Harry made a note to have Kreacher fix the house and make it livable and if possible presentable to company. Reaching the third floor the 2 entered the house's library finding a spot on the far side of the room away from the door so as to not be overheard. Once inside Harry took a look around and let out a low chuckle, once they got settled for the conversation they were apparently about to have.

"Something amuse you Harry?" Hermione asked, her accent shifting oddly to a more formal and sophisticated and almost forign. To which Harry just raised an eyebrow and smirked.

"Just not surprised that we wound up in the library. It has always been a place of solace for you hasn't it?" He inquired.

Hermione hummed thoughtfully. "It has been, I suppose. I have always had a burning curiosity to know things. I have also had a bad habit of getting into things that I shouldn't to get that knowledge." She said after a moment shifting from foot to foot as if embarrassed to be speaking of this. Harry's eyebrows furrowed gaining a inquisitive look before speaking.

"I wasn't aware that you were a troublemaker when it came to gaining knowledge." Hermione seemed to blush at this and responded after a few tense moments.

"I haven't been so much since starting Hogwarts. But before that, I had actually gotten a criminal record for getting into a classified military database. While I think that we could use computers in the magical world, I can't get access to any for a few more years." Hermione replied sheepishly. Harry stared at her for a moment before smirking at her.

"Well you don't do things by halves do you, Kat?" He said in a playful and teasing manner. Hermione's eyes widened dumb found at having been found out.

"How did you know?" She asked with glare without any heat behind it.

"Well for one when I was briefing the Order on what I went through in my past life you were the only one not to react in shock to what you were hearing. Plus you always were the most curious of all of Beta Company. I mean how many ONI files did you break into while we were on Reach?" Harry asked her with the same smirk still on his face the whole time he was speaking. Hermione gave a self deprecating laugh.

"This is very true. ONI didn't care much for my poking about." She responded almost fondly as she thought back to her days in noble. Harry's smirked turned into a full on grin at this before saying.

"Though you having a criminal record for hacking MoD servers is as surprising as it is amusing, though I guess it does explain your penchant for the rules until recently." He said.

"Probably didn't want to wind up in prison."

"Exactly. Though, I do have to wonder what happened to you. You look like you did after the augmentations." Hermione said.

"When I went to Gringotts, I found that I had access to the NOBLE vault. Inside I found a nice cache of UNSC, Covenant, and apparently Forerunner weapons. Our armor was also there as well as a medical suite to receive the SPARTAN-IV augmentations. Hence why my eyes are

still green, rather than the blue that all of the III series had." Harry explained.

Hermione's eyes widened. "Whose armor was there?"

"Mine obviously, but also yours, Jorge's, Carter, and Emile's." Harry replied.

"So we just have to locate the others, hope that their memories have come back, and then somehow get them to Gringotts to have the augmentations done and to get themselves back into fighting trim." Hermione said.

"Pretty much. Though it should be fairly easy for you to spot the others since you spent years working with them. Certain mannerisms and such should stick out." Harry remarked. Nodding at this with a contemplative expression on her face before speaking up.

"Hopefully they are all in our year. The last thing I want to do is get some first year involved in this." Nodding at her remark, giving a grunt in agreement.

"I know. But at least we know what we are getting into, I did manage to wrangle a portkey from my account manager that will take me to Gringotts from anywhere if I were to find any of you while I was out and about so to speak. When do you want to go?"

"Tonight if we can. God knows you probably need a sparring partner to get back into shape and no one has the background in hand to hand fighting or the resiliency to take a hit from you without needing to visit the infirmary." Hermione reasoned to which Harry just nodded. It at this point that the 2 heard a chuckle coming from the doorway. Turning to the door way they see Ron leaning in the door frame an amuse expression on his face.

"I wouldn't be too sure of that Kathrine, I think I could go a round or two with old six over their.' Hap haphazardly pointing to Harry. Trying to brush it off and act dumb Hermione switched her accent and responded.

"What do you mean Ron whose Katherine? A girlfriend of yours?" To which Ron responded.

"No more like a annoying older sister who didn't know when to let someone else take the rear of the formation otherwise she wouldn't have been domed by one of them Jackfuck snipers." Ron responded an eyebrow raised in an expectant manner as if waiting for something, whatever it was he didn't have to wait long because Hermione screamed.

"Emile!" Running over to the redhead like a missile latching onto him fresh tears running down her face.

"Ay easy their Kitty Kat no need to break my ribs." The newly revealed Emile reincarnation joked. At which he got a giggle and a smack to the chest followed by a glare.

"When did you start to remember?" The clearly tikked brunette questioned.

"About 20 mins ago when Harry was giving the Order the run down about his past." At this Hermione and Harry just stared with a WTF expression before looking at each other then turning back to Ron glaring. As one they both spoke.

"Lucky bastard!"

And that Ladies and Gents is where our chapter ends. As always stay happy, healthy, and safe through these trying times.
