A/N: third chapter!!!

Then, they made eye contact. It was like all time had stopped, and before they knew it, Hermione collapsed in Harry's arms.

-------------------------------------

Harry was stunned. There they were. All 3 of his children just standing there, staring at them. When he came to his senses, however, he looked down at his wife.

"Oh my gosh! Hermione!" he exclaimed, totally forgetting that his kids were standing right in front of him. Then, he heard a noise coming from the fireplace. When he turned his head, he saw Luna Lovegood standing there in there living room. She smiled at him.

"Hello Harry Potter. How are you? Well I hope? Oh, my. Poor Hermione. Here, let's get her to the couch, shall we?" She said, in her normal, dreamy like voice.

Harry, still in a daze from seeing Luna come out of his fireplace, helped move Hermione to the couch. Then, she spoke again.

"Harry, just so you know, because I'm sure Dumbledore forgot to tell you in his old age, we are going to be holding a meeting about this new treat that has caught our attention." Then she looked him right in the eye, making sure he heard her. "Harry," she started, her dreamy voice replaced by a very serious one. "you know you are the only ones that can help keep all of us safe. And you're kids, well, you should probably tell them very soon. If not, then many things could happen to them, and they aren't going to know what to do," she finished.

Harry only nodded his head. He had of course heard what she said, and it had made sense. So, following her with his eyes, as she made her way back to the fireplace. "Bye!" she said, before she was swallowed by green flames. Just then, Hermione started to come back around.

"Harry?" she asked groggily.

Harry whipped his head around to look at his wife.

"Hey, hey, don't sit up. You fainted, though I'm not sure why-". Then he remembered. His kids had witnessed everything with Luna. And, probably most of Dumbledore to.

"Harry, please tell me that I am in a dream, and our kids are not standing in the doorway, especially when Dumbledore was here," Hermione said, as she twisted around on the couch to find them there.

Harry looked apologetic. "Sorry love. It's true. And guess what! Loony, I mean Luna Lovegood was here also. And she told us to tell them everything."

"Luna? The one who believes in, very silly stuff? Like, oh, I can't even remember now."

"Yeah, that Luna."

Sirius had had enough. I mean, one can only take so much in at one time. "Mom, Dad, what are you guys not telling us?" he piped in. The other 2 nodded their heads.

Harry sighed. Boy, this was going to be one heck of a long explanation. Best be left 'till the morning I guess, he thought. "Sirius, Lily, James. I know you want answers, and you want them now, but it's late, and we all need sleep, so we will explain tomorrow, alright?" after seeing the resigned nods, he sent them off to bed. Then he turned to Hermione.

"Hermione, let's go to bed."

"Yes, let's." after a second thought, Hermione asked, "Harry, how do you think they will take it?"

He thought for a second. "Pretty well, I think. Though they won't be happy that we kept it from them for so long. But, let's not think about that right now. Let's just, go to sleep, OK?"

Hermione sighed. "OK," she answered. But in her head she was thinking. Wow, who would have thought Luna Lovegood was going to be able to find us. I mean, I can understand Dumbledore, but Luna? That was certainly was a surprise to hear from Harry. She got into bed, snuggled against Harry, and drifted off into a deep sleep.

Harry was thinking just about the same thing when he fell into a deep slumber, his arms wrapped around his wife.

-------------------------------------

A/N: this is the kids, AFTER the whole thing in the living room.

-------------------------------------

"Man, I wonder what that was about," Lily said, as she walked next to the boys on their way to their rooms.

"Yeah, I know. But, I guess we'll just have to find out tomorrow," James said.

Sirius was silent. When they said all of their good nights, he climbed into his bed and his brain began to process the information that he had witnessed that night. Who would have thought it, his parents, talking to people that walked in and out of a FIREPLACE, and talking to heads that were FLOATING in the fireplace. Weird, he thought. Before his brain could finish processing the information, he drifted into dreamland.

-------------------------------------

A/N: just so you know, Hermione collapsed because she was so surprised when she saw the kids. Just thought I should make that clear.
