It's been awhile since the gang got together. You know, with Hermione having Heath and Harmony; I can tell she misses just sitting around and sipping on some wine. Hell who doesn't miss that! But now with the Daily Prophet kicking her in her arse, pressuring her into adding more 'character' to her section; making her even more stressed. I mean she's been sitting at her desk for five months; don't get me wrong she takes breaks to feed Heath, but I'm losing my wife.

That's it! Today I'm getting the Golden Trio together. I know Ron wouldn't mind, counting he's been on better terms with us since we talked at the hospital. But getting Hermione to go out might be a problem. She is either caring for the kids or to lost in trying to keep her job. But if I get Ginny and Draco to take the kids for a couple of hours she might join us.

I walk into our light oak bedroom and spot my wife snuggling up to Heath and Harmony. Heath was curled up into her right side; while Harmony had her arms wrapped Hermione's left side. Hermione looked to be still awake but was just enjoying the moment.

"Having fun?" I chuckled.

"Oh yes, nap time is the best time," she laughed.

"Well, what are you doing tonight?" I asked gently sitting on the edge of our beige bed.

"Depends on what you already have planned," she replied with a smirk.

"Maybe Gin could watch Heath and Harmony for a couple of hours," I began.

"Why?"

"So the 'Golden Trio' could have a round," I finished.

"Sure! I miss being outside in the world!" she cheered.

I leaned down the plot a sweet gently kiss on her forehead. She smiled then handed me Heath; I walked down to Heath's orange room to place him in his pearl white crib. As I turned to leave I spotted Hermione leaving our room. She just flopped onto the couch and let out a deep sign. I walked into the kitchen to make us some tea, with her in tow.

"Love, you ok?" I questioned putting the water on stove.

"No."

"Why what's wrong?" I asked.

"I'm thinking about quitting," she signed.

"Quitting what?" I wondered.

"My job. Before you say anything let me explain. Harry, when I first started working for the Daily Prophet it was the best job to me in whole U.K. But now, I hate it. I do love writing, but I like writing what I want to write, not some dumb article that's rubbish," she finished looking at the counter top.

"Then write a book or books," a voice offered.

We both turned to see who belonged to voice, to see it was Gin. She took a seat next to Hermione, and took about a notebook.

"Hermione, you should. I would read them, even if they just were boring facts; like Hogwarts: A History," she said laughed at the last part.

"Love, Ginny's right."

"Thanks, guys," she said giving each one of us a hug.

"What kind of books would you write though?" Ginny questioned.

"She should write children books," a new voice said.

Mr. Granger came into the room with a giant smile painted on his face.

"Really, dad?" Hermione questioned.

"Yes, 'Mione you have told little sweet tall tales since you were able to read," he answered seriously.

"Herms, he does have a point. I've heard you tell Harmony bedtime stories since she was born; all are amazing," I commented, "even when you tell Heath bedtime stories both seem so in tuned to the story."

"Yeah, Mommy has good tales," a sleepy voice answered.

Harmony, stumbled into the kitchen then just sat in Mr. Granger's lap; laying her head on his shoulder.

"Mommy, why did you leave me?" she yawned.

"Sorry sweetie, I just needed to little break," Hermione answered reaching for Harmony.

Harmony happily got in Hermione's lap, resting her head against Hermione's chest. I leaned down and kissed her head, she mumbled a reply, but I couldn't exactly hear. It sounded like 'Hi daddy'.

"She's so cute," Ginny cooed.

"Thanks," I laughed.

"Harry, you and I both know she looks more like me," Herms chuckled.

"I look like mommy, daddy," Harmony giggled softly.

"Harry, Heath looks more like you minus the eye color," Mr. Granger laughed.

They all began cracking up when an owl post came by. It was addressed to Hermione, who gladly opened up then froze on the spot. Her eyes went dark; her soft little breaths became heavy and thick. She gently sat Harmony onto the wooden floor, gripped the letter and shoved it into her pocket, then headed outside. I looked to see her sitting on the swings just looking out into the ocean.

"Guys…" I began.

"I can look after Harmony," Gin offered.

I nodded then took off.


As I approached the swings Hermione quickly turned around. I notice little tears began to sneak through her eyelids. She didn't say anything, she just handed me the letter.

Dear Hermione Jane Potter (nee Granger)

I would like to inform you that we have found the men and women that broke into your parent's house in Australia. I know at first we told you they were muggles; but we looked into your mother's murder and determined the group that attacked were indeed Death Eaters. Theodore Nott, Pansy Parkinson, Marcus Flint, and Gregory Goyle were the Death Eaters. But to our misfortune only Pansy Parkinson and Theodore Nott are the ones that lived through the war and got away. We also noticed that Pansy Parkinson wrote a letter in your mother's blood on the ceiling.

Australian Ministry of Magic

I took the photo that was attached to the letter and read 'See Granger if you just handed over yourself maybe Mudblood Mummy and Daddy Mudblood would be alive'.

Once I finished I noticed that we was indeed in tears now. I went to hug her when she just collapsed in my arms, tears coming out a million a minute. We just sat there on the moist green grass; I let her sob, while anger built up inside of me. I tighten my grip on her, never wanting to let go. Soon the sobbing came to a stop; I looked down to see her already looking at me.

"WHY THE HELL WOULD SOMEONE DO THAT!" I yelled as I got up.

"You need to calm down," she mumbled.

"CALM DOWN? HOW THE HEEL CAN I DO THAT? THEY TOOK SOMETHING FOR THEIR OWN SELFFISH NEEDS! I SURPRISED YOU ARENT AS FLARED UP AS I AM!" I shouted.

"OH AND YOU THINK I'M NOT! EVER SINCE THAT DAY FIVE YEARS AGO I COULDN'T STOP FEELING LIKE YOU! MY MOM WAS MURDERED BECAUSE OF ME HARRY! SHE WAS GUTTED OUT LIKE A DAMN FISH BY OUR CLASSMATES! YOU DON'T YOU EVER THINK FOR ONE GOD DAMN SECOND I'M NOT AS FUCKING FLARED UP AS YOU!" she roared.

"THEN WHY DON'T YOU SHOW ANY EMOTION!" I shouted.

"I HAVE! I DO! EVER SINCE THAT DAY I'VE BEEN GIVING MONEY TO THE GOD DAMN AURORS IN AUSTRILA NOT FOR MY HEALTH! I HAVE TO SEE MY PARALYZED FATHER EVERYDAY AND THINK I DID THAT! SORRY I HAVEN'T BEEN CRYING EVERY DAMN DAY! I KILL MY MOM! YOU WANT ME TO SHOUT IT OUT TO THE FUCKING WORLD!" she cried.

I feel like an arse. I looked back at her to see her shaking with tears. I advanced towards her but she just brushed me off.

"Did you actually think I didn't care?" she asked in a low whisper.

"Hermione, no I didn't," I answered.

"Then why did you say those things Harry?"

"I-I'm so just so mad to see you so broken. Hermione, you have this lost look in your eyes. Sometimes it does go away, like when you play with Harmony or Heath; or just we just sit around talking and cuddling. But after those moments are gone, that dark lost look returns," I stated.

"I'm scared," she cried running into my arms.

"What are you scared of, Herms?" I asked holding her tight.

"What happens when they catch Nott and Parkinson? What happens if Parkinson gets note that my dad didn't die? What if they come after Heath or Harmony? What if they ambush you? Are they after Draco, if so is Ginny safe?" she cried.

"Hermione, Nott and Parkinson will either be sent to Azkaban or sent to death. If they find out about your dad or come after either one of us they wouldn't last a second. I know for a fact both Gin and Draco are safe," I reassured her.

"But how do you know?

"I just do ok?" I told her planting a kiss on her lips.

"I want to take them to visit her," Herms murmured.

"I think that's a great idea, might as well show them my mum and dad too," I commented.

She just nodded and griped my hand as we began to head back to the Cottage.


As soon as I opened the door I tackled by a little person with curly dark brown hair.

"Daddy is it true?" Harmony cried.

"Is what true?" Herms questioned.

Harmony shot Hermione an unforgettable glare and ignored her.

"That mommy is leavin cause she want the red meaner?" Harmony questioned.

"Harmony Jane Potter, where did you hear this rubbish from?" Hermione asked sounding very stern.

"That blonde lady talking to Aunty Gin," Harmony answered not looking at Hermione.

"Look at me," Hermione pleaded.

Harmony finally turned her head and both had tear strained cheeks.

"One, I will never ever leave your daddy. Two, don't always listen to gossip, it's unhealthy. Three, why would you think that?" Hermione asked crouching down to us.

"I heard you and daddy screamin outside just now, so I thought that was why. Then the blonde lady just left dropping off the red meaner's things," Harmony answered reaching to sit beside Hermione.

Hermione draped an arm over Harmony's shoulder and pulled her close.

"You want to hear the story now or later?" Hermione asked.

"Now, but Heath and daddy listen too?" she begged.

"I don't see why not," Hermione said.

I walked into Heath's room and saw he was awake; then I just brought him out into the hallway. We all sat down in hallway getting comfy.

"Ok, as you know I do have a mommy," Herms started.

Harmony nodded, "well, when I was about eighteen my mommy was hurt really bad. So bad that I can't go see my mommy anymore, I was upset for a long time. What you heard was me finally letting go all the anger, sadness, and lost look in my eyes. Daddy, was therefore like he always has been. I just broke down," Hermione confessed while little drops peeled from her eyelids.

"Where is she? We can go see her right?" Harmony questioned.

"Love, I'm sorry but no we can't see her, nor can we see my daddy or mommy," I mumbled.

"OH MOMMY I'M SO SORRY!" Harmony yelled pulling Hermione into a tight embrace.

Suddenly we heard the floo activating. Oh shit, Ron! I completely forgot. Ron walked right into the hallway and looked me dead in the face. He looked hurt. As I was about to say something Hermione beat me to it.

"Ron, we are still coming, we just sort of had a family meeting," Hermione answered.

"Oh."

"Yeah, I got some news and I had to tell the family," she said truthfully.

"Sorry."

"It's all good," I stated.

Heath grabbed my finger and began giggling. Then he bit me.

"Ouch little man!" I shirked.

Hermione, Harmony, and Ron just laughed at me as I pulled my finger back.


I gave Gin Heath, she told us Draco will be joining her soon. Saying goodbye to Harmony was really hard for Herms. It's not like we wouldn't let her leave, Harmony was like super glued to Hermione's side. Hermione promised to be back long enough to tell her a bedtime story.

We settled on going to this little pub. We all talked for a bit. Ron, told us he was dating again, and he was being very active. He also made Herms and I promised not to have anymore until he at least got someone he was seriously dating knocked up. Of course at this we laughed really loud but promise. Herms told Ron aboutwhat she was thinking of doing, and he was all for it.

After a bit we came home to two sleeping babysitters, one baby in deep sleep, and one over excited five year old. I picked up Heath and placed him in his crib, while I just covered Draco and Gin. As I was doing all of this Herms was in Harmony's room telling her an epic bedtime story. Soon Harmony was fast asleep, Herms snuggled up to me entwining our hands; then went to sleep. I soon followed.

So what'd you think? Also have any questions please ask and I will glady answer.
