Hermione woke up the next morning to the smell of breakfast. She made her way out of her room and down to the kitchen, where Harry, Kaliban, and Blaise were making breakfast.
"Hey, Hermione," Blaise greeted his sister, as Harry walked over to her and kissed her.
"What are you guys doing? Trying to burn the house down?" she said humorously and the boys glared.
"No babe, we were going to bring you breakfast in bed, but since you are awake you can eat down here with us," Harry said and Kaliban and Blaise chuckled.
The 4 teenagers ate their breakfast of eggs and toast in peace before it was decided that it was too boring without the rest of their friends and they sent invites, via Hedwig, Midnight, Violet, and Smoky, to Draco, Violet, Pansy, Daphne, Samuel, and Theo.
10 minutes later, they heard someone floo into the manor. It was Draco and he said that the others were on their way. One by one, Violet, Samuel, Pansy, Daphne, and Theo showed up and dusted themselves off.
"So, what are we going to do?" Draco asked and everyone laughed at his statement of the obvious.
"Let's play some Quidditch," Hermione suggested and everyone nodded.
Everyone ran outside and grabbed their brooms.
After their game of Quidditch, the 10 teenagers went back inside the manor. They all sat in the living room, Hermione sat with a book, and Harry sat beside her. Draco and Violet sat on the couch, silently whispering to each other, Theo and Pansy were talking and Pansy laughed at a joke that Theo said, and Samuel and Daphne kissed on the loveseat. Blaise and Kaliban were playing Wizard's Chess.
"I have something to tell all of you," Hermione stood up and faced her friends.
They all stopped what they were doing and turned and looked at her.
"I told Harry about why I was raised muggleborn and he was accepted the truth about Dumbledore. He will be learning Occlumency from me so to block his mind from being read by Dumbledore," Hermione informed her friends and they all smiled at Harry.
Blaise had to admit that Harry was a very good choice for his twin sister. He knew that Harry would never hurt her and that was good enough for him to accept Harry into the family. Violet, Daphne, and Pansy accepted Harry pretty quickly when they saw how happy he made Hermione. They knew that he would never abandon her and that made them welcome him into their circle of friends. Of course, it took longer for Draco to accept the 'Boy-Who-Lived'; by with some 'prodding' from his girlfriend Violet, he finally accepted Harry and actually befriended him. Theo, Kaliban, and Samuel had no problem befriending Harry.
"Congratulations sis for telling him. I was wondering when you were going to tell him," Blaise said and Hermione glared at her brother.
"Well, I've noticed you've been staring a lot at Jackie Flint (Made-Up character and Marcus Flint's younger sister who's a year behind them)," Hermione said slyly and everyone turned to stare at him.
"Marcus' younger sister! You must have a death wish, my friend," Draco said to Blaise and Violet elbowed him in the gut.
"I think Marcus would be perfectly okay with Blaise dating Jackie, as long as it's not a Gryffindor," Violet said and everyone laughed.
The afternoon passed fast for the teenagers and soon, Draco, Violet, Theo, Samuel, Pansy, and Daphne were flooing back to their own homes and the 4 remaining teenagers hunkered in for bed.
Harry was excited as he laid in his bed that night, he was going to be taught Occlumency by Hermione the next day and then he would go home to spend the rest of his summer with his aunt and cousin, before returning to Hogwarts to be with his girlfriend and new best friends.
Hermione lay asleep that night, excited that everything was working the way she wanted them to. Harry didn't shun her away because she accused Dumbledore of murdering her father, but he believed her and best of all, her friends accepted him. Life seemed to be going her way. She fell asleep with sweet dreams that night.
