Chapter 10

Harry and Hermione did as Snape suggested and meditated for an hour bed and an hour in the morning. Harry suggested that they slowly began to place walls up in their minds and to mediate for two hours instead of one. Hermione quickly agreed to the idea.

Harry couldn't believe that it was the beginning of July and it was time to spend the rest of the summer at the Burrow. He didn't know how to approach the subject. If Ginny and Ron had a plan for him and Hermione. He didn't want to place his family in danger, but than again the family would catch on that they had figured out they knew the truth.

Harry walked into the kitchen whistling a happy tune and poured himself a cup of coffee. Fawkes flew over to her master's shoulder and nudged his under his jaw line. He smiled and gently patted him on the head. Harry fixed Hermione a cup tea. He sat it down on the table.

Hermione walked into the kitchen and kissed her husband on the cheek. She sat down at the table. Harry joined her at the table. Padfoot walked into the room followed by Helen, Sean and Remus. They fixed themselves each a cup of coffee and joined the couple. The family talked on a regular bases to try and get things back to normal. It was slowly getting there.

"Guys, should Mione and I go to the Burrow like we do every summer? Because I was thinking if we didn't go they'd catch on that we know the truth." Harry told the family.

Remus sat his cup down in thought. He knew the twins and Arthur had returned home. He had told the family about them not supporting Molly's doings. They were all pleased to hear the news about at lest having three Weasely's on their side.

"Yes I think you should go. It would draw too much attention to the family. Anyway Arthur and the twins will be there to keep an eye on you." Remus told them.

Sirius nodded in agreement at his lover's suggestion. Helen and Sean reliantly agreed. Harry gave them slight smile and took a sip of coffee. He took Hermione's hand and kissed it gently. She slowly sipped her tea.

Harry went up stairs to get his and Hermione's trunks together. It wouldn't take long because he could use magic. He walked into the bedroom and waved his wand and all their belongings went to their respectable places. The lids on their trunks closed and locked themselves. Harry put away his wand and looked around making sure he had everything packed. He went over a list mentally in his mind. He nodded and shrank their trunks and put them in his pocket.

Harry met the family downstairs in the living room. They jumped when they heard a crack signaling the arrival of an house elf. They stood face to face with Sunny, the house elf.

"Sunny what are you doing here?" Hermione asked the house elf.

"Mistress Potter I made you special robes with Gryffindor House badge. They will grow with your body. Let me show you, Mistress." Sunny lifted up one of the robes.

The robe was black that felt like slick but was made out of cotton. It had the Gryffindor crest embedded into the fabric. It was a work of art compared to the other students.

"I made Master Potter some as well. I heard that Remus was teaching once more at Hogwarts to my relief." He nodded his head. "I also made you some teachers robes for the school year."

Hermione smiled at the elf and said, "Thank you Sunny that's very sweet of you. They're beautiful."

"I'm glad Mistress is please with my work. I wish you a safe trip and a good school year. Oh yes and Sirius word to the wise go with Remus to Hogwarts and keep an eye on them. I have a feeling the moron of Dumbledore will try something to the Master and Mistress."

"I'll do that . Thank you." Sirius said with a nodded and Sunny was gone with a crack.

Harry took out their trunks from his pocket and placed the robes into their rightful places and shrank them once more and returned them back to his pocket. He looked over at his wife who held a worry expression on her face. She was worried that Molly Weasely would try something to bring Harry back to Ginny once again. He quietly pulled Hermione into his arms and whispered words of comfort. He was also extremely concerned for the safety of his unborn son who prayed she had twins inside her womb. Because it would be wonderful to have two loving sons and they would always have someone to play with and to confide in each other.

Harry pulled back and asked, "Are ready love?" Hermione nodded her head. Harry grabbed a hand full of floo powered into the fireplace and called, "The Burrow," and green flames rose from the stone floor.

The couple hugged their parents and Sirius and Remus. They stepped into the fireplace and vanished in swirl of green flames. The flames died and the fireplace was empty. Hedwig hooted and flew out the open window followed by Fawkes.

Hermione stepped out of the fireplace quickly followed by Harry. They knocked the ashes from their clothes. Harry pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and removed some soot from Hermione's face. He put it away back into his pocket.

"Hermione, Harry it's great to see you." Arthur said gave Hermione hug and shook Harry's hand.

"It's great to see as well, Mr. Weasely." Harry told the man with a smile.

"Is that Harry I hear?" Molly said and quickly pulled him into a tight hug. "It's wonderful to have you back." She pulled back. "Hermione how have you been dear?" She asked pulling her into a tight a hug.

'Just act like nothing's happen. Just act like nothing's happened.' she told herself as she returned the hug. "I've been doing fine.

"The kids are up stairs. They've been waiting for you. I'll call you down once supper is ready."

~*~

Hermione smiled and the couple went upstairs in search for their 'friends.' Hermione found Ginny, Ron, and the twins working on a new joke for their shop in the twin's room. Ginny pulled Harry into a tight hug. He could smell the lilies on her neck. He immediately knew the perfume was made out of the love potion. He returned the hug and didn't fell the effect of it even with the close contact. She pulled back and smiled knowing it had worked. She'd have Harry all to herself.

"It's great to see you Ginny." Harry said with a smile watching Hermione hug Ron.

Fred and George tackled Hermione with hugs and each kissed her on the cheek. They could tell she was pregnant just by the way she looked remembering that was how their mother looked when she was pregnant with Ron and Ginny.

"Congratulation with the baby and the marriage. Fred whispered so the others couldn't hear and George nodded in agreement.

"Thank you for well…being on our side to things." Harry whispered.

"No problem mate." the twins said together.

They spent the time upstairs telling each other about their summer and the products that were new for their shop. Hermione smiled at Fred and George at how they looked what could be sold in their store and what couldn't be sold.

Molly called the kids down for dinner. The Weasely family, Harry and Hermione joined them at the table. It was full of many verity to choose from. The evening was full of laughter and active conversation. Harry kept an eye on Hermione to make sure she ate enough. Harry once again could smell love potion in his drink. He remain quiet. The last time Snape visited his sister the Potions Master gave him the antidote to the love potion and it would never leave his system and he was grateful.

Harry and Hermione met each other in the back garden to do their meditation. They sat down on the ground. They took deep soothing breaths and slowly cleared their minds. They had already placed up wall one that would block all memories. The second wall would block selected memories. The third wall would block anyone from entering their minds and, for Harry to stop Voldemort from entering his mind completely.

Hermione had found a book on the mind arts when they went to Diagon Ally for their school supplies and taught him how enter ones mind for awhile. She figured out with the scar connected him to Voldemort. He could easily enter his mind to help them win the war. Harry agreed to try to learn the art. They were both surprised at how easy it came to them and were grateful for their improvement.

Ron walked outside to the backyard. He wanted to ask Harry to play a game of chess. He looked at the couple wondering what they were doing. It must be more important than their friendship. Ron had noticed that they did that stupid thing every morning and every night for two hours.

"Harry do want to play a game of chess?" asked Ron but didn't get a reply. "Harry!" he yelled but still didn't get answer. "Harry!" he yelled shaking him but he never moved or spoke.

"Ron leave them." Arthur told his son. "They can't hear you. Their mediating.

"Whatever." Ron said angrily walking past his father.

Arthur shook his head in disapproval. He sighed heavily Ron wasn't the son he raised and neither Ginny was the daughter he raised. Molly wasn't the woman he married.

The summer went by quickly. Hermione spent most of her time helping Ron with his summer homework. She was angry that he didn't do it earlier. He was using her once more. Harry shook his head at Ron using his wife. He knew she had to help or it would cause a major upset between Ron and Ginny.

~*~

The family soon found themselves on the platform 9 ¾ for their final year of Hogwarts. They all said their good byes to Mr. and Mrs. Weasely and boarded the Hogwarts Express. Hermione sighed and sat down next Harry. She had finally entered her second month. The morning sickness kicked in yesterday and he tried to prepare himself for her mood swings.

Harry smiled at Hermione and took her hand in his and rubbed soothing circles on top of her hand. She felt a shiver roll down her spine even with the simplest of touches from her husband made her want him. He smirked and whispered in her ear his hot breath hitting her neck. He pulled back and her chest rose and fell and her pounded against her chest. Hermione excused herself to change into her school robes. Harry watched his wife leave the compartment.

"What's going on with you and Mione, Harry?" Ron asked his 'best mate.' "Because if you're dating you know she's my girlfriend. Just to remind you or she will be once I ask her."

Harry mentally rolled his eyes. He turned his head when the sliding glass door opened and he smiled at Hermione. The new school robes Sunny had made her looked enchanting on his wife. He saw the Head Girl's badge on her robes. She had made Head Girl and he couldn't have been prouder.

Harry passed Hermione brushing his hand down the side of her body. "Sorry Mione." She smiled and watched him leave to change into his robes. "So your trip to Rome was interesting." Hermione said returning to her seat. Ron nodded in his head. "That's great."

Harry returned to the compartment and smiled at his wife. He was named Head Boy to Hermione's surprise. She figured it was truly because Dumbledore wanted them together. He was happy because they were going to share a dorm in the Gryffindor Tower.

~*~

Hermione and Harry took their seats at the staff table. She took the seat next to Professor Snape while Harry sat down next to his wife. Professor McGonagall sorted the first years and they took their seats at their respectable tables. Professor Dumbledore gave his normal welcome back speech and the food appeared on the tables.

"He gives the same damn speech every year." Severus whispered in Hermione's ear. She chuckled at her uncle. "It's fried into my brain." Harry laughed and shook his head.

"I thought the magic of Hogwarts let him." Harry hissed low that only Professor Snape and Hermione could hear.

"It has. I saw the house elves standing at the entrance of the staff doors. "He's faking it."

"We must speak with Professor McGonagall soon after the feast." Hermione told the men. They both nodded in agreement.

The headmaster dismissed the students to go to their houses. Minerva left the great hall with the students. Hermione, Harry and Severus went after the Deputy Headmistress.

"Professor McGonagall." Harry called after the woman. She stopped and turned around. "May we speak with you. It's important."

She gave him a strong nodded. "Follow me please." The trio followed the witch down the corridor to her office.

~*~

"What is so important that couldn't wait until tomorrow?" Professor McGonagall asked Harry.

Harry pulled out his wand and cast extremely strong wards around the office that Dumbledore couldn't break without some serious effort. He sat down next Hermione. "This is about Hogwarts. I own the school and the magic as left Albus Dumbledore. You have ran Hogwarts the best of your ability. It is time for you to take the post as Hogwarts Headmistress." Harry told his Head of House. Minerva looked stunned at the young man. "I am naming you Headmistress of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." She quickly felt the school's magic surround her and adjusted to her own magic. "Severus Snape, I'm naming you Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." He felt the school magic surround him and adjusted to his magic.
