A/N: So I get some nice reviews and mails. Some was encouraging some weren't. But Because of those not so happy mails I will continue.

Chapter 2: The way home

The way to the Granger's wasn't long and Harry talked and laughed a lot Hermione. Hermione's parents asked them about their last year at Hogwarts even though Hermione sent a letter almost every week to them. They wanted to know Harry better and this was a way to do it. Harry was a bit nervous but he tried not to show to them. Hermione was over the moon and that was easily recognizable by looking into her eyes and face. She couldn't stop smiling and giggling on silly things. Harry loved this Hermione. At Hogwarts she was always a bit bossy, a bit of a know-it-all and she was very serious about learning. Of course she had her moments when she dropped her bossiness and had fun with her classmates and friends. Like when Luna told that Ron fell of his broom while he was out flying with his brothers and sister and he saw her in her "I love Ron" t-shirt. The small detail which made this even funnier was that only Ron could see the words on Luna's t-shirt because Luna charmed it. So when it happened no one understood why did Ron fell off of his broom. After Luna told everyone the details the whole Weasley family was on the floor laughing. Luna made Ron happy even if there were times when it was a bit "dangerous" for Ron's health. Harry was happy for them. He really thought that Luna is the perfect girl for Ron. But Harry was happier when he saw Hermione's smile. But even that couldn't match the times when Hermione giggled. At Hogwarts she rarely did that which made it so special. Now in the car she couldn't stop it so Harry was in heaven. Well basically he was happy to be near Hermione. This was only a huge plus that came with being near her.
When they arrived Dan parked the car and told his wife and Hermione to get inside and he and Harry will get the trunks in. Hermione grabbed Crookshanks and Hedwig and went in.

" MOM! What was that all about? You knew damn well what was I asking! You know that I love Harry! Why did you had to this to me? " – asked Hermione who was now back to her know-it-all, bossy "version".

" First of all: language young lady! And secondly: well I just couldn't pass this huge opportunity. I'm sorry sweetheart. You two just look so good together even though I only saw Harry for the first time about 2 hours ago. I'm really sorry I swear it wont happen again. Well, not on purpose " – answered a smiling, puppy eyed Emma Granger.

" Alright I'm sorry. It's just I love Harry so much and I don't want to lose him. I want to tell him that I love him but I fear what if he doesn't feel the same way? " – said Hermione with a soft voice that told that she wasn't angry at all.

Harry and Dan went to the back of the car to get the trunks. Harry tried to stay calm. He thought that Dan will him the " if you hurt my daughter you are as good as dead " talk. He was surprised when it didn't came. Dan only said:

" If you don't mind me asking Harry how are you? I mean your remaining family members died last year. Hermione told us that they treated you very very badly but they were still family. " – asked Dan with a bit of hope that he didn't say the wrong things just after Harry has arrived.

" Well, thank you for asking . I don't mind. I was treated poorly and as you said they were family but 11 years of hate and ignoring me will not fly away just like it never happened. I'm not going to lie and say I wasn't shocked because I was. But I won't forget what they did to me. But Hermione helped a lot to get over this hatred. But I didn't go to their funeral. I decided that maybe later in my life I will go and see them but not now. I want to live a happy life with a family where you can feel love and being loved. " –answered Harry with a serious expression on his face. He was calm now. No nerves, no fears of what will happen. He felt like Dan cared about him even without knowing him fully. This meant a lot to him. He already knew that Hermione loved her parents and they loved her back. Now he saw what loving someone in a family really meant. Harry almost felt like he was part of this family.

" Harry Potter. You really are what my little pumpkin told us. Extremely mature to your age but a real troublemaker. And don't get me wrong. Being a troublemaker doesn't make you a bad person or anything like that. It means that you live your life with full of adventures. We can talk more later but we should get these trunk inside. I think I gave my Hermione enough time to "talk" with her mother. " – Dan said with a small chuckle at the end of his sentence.

After their little talk, Harry and Dan went inside with the trunks. Harry didn't really understand what Dan meant by his last sentence but he thought that he will find out later.

After getting the trunks inside Harry's next couple of minute was a bit of a blur. He just put down his trunk in the living room when Hermione grabbed his hand and ran upstairs to show him his room. ( which was for reasons "unknown" was next to Hermione's ) When Hermione opened the she was surprised. Of course Harry was surprised as well but that was a different kind of surprise. For Hermione, she didn't know that her parents changed and prepared the room for Harry. For Harry though. He felt home immediately. The fact that Dan and Emma changed this redecorated this room just for Harry was unknown to him but Hermione saw it immediately. Hermione made a note to herself to thank for this to her parents. The room was repainted recently and now it was a pale blue which made it look brighter and bigger than it is. There was a double bed on the far side of the room. Also there was a wardrobe and a drawer. If Harry wanted to study there was a desk he could use. The other 3 items in the room were 2 comfy armchair and a coffee-table. After Harry and Hermione finished admiring the room, Dan came up with Hedwig and Harry trunk. Dan left the room and Harry started to pack his things out while talking to Hermione.

" So do you have any plans? Oh, wait that was probably a stupid question. You ALWAYS have at least one plan. No matter what's the situation you have a plan. So let me refrain the question. What is your plan for this week? " - asked Harry while putting his socks into the top drawer.

" Really funny Mr. Potter! Really funny indeed. But yes I have a couple of plans for this week and well for the whole summer but those plans are likely to change. " – answered a smiling Hermione. He liked Harry's sense of humour even if it was sometimes a bit childish.

" Well then. What's the agenda for today? I have a few things I would like to do as well so let's see where can we start. By the way, Tomorrow we start the day at 7am so don't read too much this evening! " -said Harry who now was smiling. Hermione's face was a picture Harry will never forget.

" 7am? But Harry we don't have anything to do. We can sleep till 9 if we want. Or maybe even more. What are you planning to do? "- asked a now very curious Hermione.

" You will see tomorrow. But for now, how about you go and show me around? " –answered Harry now grinning.

Harry and Hermione both wanted to spend the most time together so after a quick dinner and some more talk with Hermione's parents everyone went to bed getting ready for tomorrow. Harry knew that the next day will be fun.
