Chapter 34

After arriving back in Kings Cross Station Harry and Hermione were greeted by Remus, Tonks and Dan and Emma. Hugs were shared and laughs were had. Since there were too many to apparated back (legally) Dan and Emma offered to pay for a taxi back to the house. Harry tried to offer to help to pay but Dan and Emma were having none of it.

"Harry after everything you have done for Hermione and us the least we can do is pay for a taxi back to your home." Emma said with a smile.

After they arrived back at the house Dan and Emma dropped their surprise on Harry and Hermione.

"So you two didn't have any plans this summer did you?" Emma asked casually.

Hermione went to say studying but then she realised her parents were up to something. Harry not knowing Hermione's parents that well remained blissfully blind to the situation.

Both shook their heads signally that they haven't.

"Well Emma and I were talking to Remus and Tonks and they might have let it slip that you Harry have never been on holiday before so we were thinking to give you all a well deserved break we take a nice vacation together all 6 of us." Dan explained. Harry went from a 16 year old mature young wizard to a hyper excited 5 year old on the inside. A holiday! How fantastic would that be!

"Anywhere in particular?" Hermione asked sensing Harry's inability to speak due to growing excitement.

"Orlando, Florida we'll travel by plane their and back and have a nice family holiday." Emma said. This caused Harry to smile brightly but then a storm cloud brewed. Harry may not have ever been out of the country but he knew that you needed a passport to leave the country. Something which he did not have. Remus saw Harry's worry.

"Harry I had Dobby go to Gringotts and have them make you a passport using the drop of blood you provided for your accounts. It's government official and 100% legitimate" Remus said handing Harry the passport. He looked inside and saw all of his details. He laughed when he read that he lived in Grimmauld Place. No doubt a perception charm would have been placed on the passport protecting the secret of the house's location. Hermione gripped Harry in a hug that now got to act like a normal child. A child who was going on their first ever holiday. If this is what he fighting for then it was well worth the effort.

"When do we leave?" Hermione asked.

"Week tomorrow. We Virgin Atlantic and they have managed to get us onto a flight leaving Gatwick next week. VSO27." Dan said handing the piece of paper to Hermione. Harry faced Dan and Emma.

"Thank you... for giving me a chance to have a childhood" He said before he did something that Harry 6 years ago would never have done. He hugged Emma. Harry initiated a hug with someone that wasn't Hermione or Remus!

The next few days were spent buying new clothes for the holiday and making sure that everyone had spending money sorted. Harry insisted on having Hermione use his money. His excuse; "I'm not likely to spend all the money so I may as well put it to good use!" He joked. Hermione tried to argue but she knew it was pointless.

They day before the flight and Harry was excited. His suitcase was packed Dobby had been kind enough to go to Gringotts and get $5000 changed up. He had offered Dobby a chance to come but Dobby declined. Harry gave him strict instructions to relax whilst they were gone. Dobby only nodded.

The following morning Harry was being nudged by Hermione.

"Harry come on its time to get up" She whispered kissing his cheek.

"Time...is it" He managed to stumble into a sentence.

"Half past 4 in the morning. Come on we have to check in at least 3 hours prior to the flight leaving" Harry grumbled at the ungodly hour but pulled himself out of bed never the less. He showered and put on his new pair of jeans and t-shirt followed after by his new leather jacket.

It was quite a surprise to see Remus and Tonks in muggle clothing but yet somehow it suited them. Remus had new jeans a shirt and a beige blazer whilst Tonks was wearing jeans with a red blouse. Hermione had opted for the same outfit as Harry with the exception that she wore a blouse instead of a t-shirt.

After bundling the 3 suitcases in the car (each with undetectable expansion charms fitted) they arrived at Gatwick at 6 am. They went to a cafe to have some breakfast and then when the check in desk opened they were first in line. The steward was very polite and handed them there tickets.

"OK so that's you sorted. Your tickets were upgraded to first class 3 days ago and you are all set. Have a pleasant flight!" He said as 5 of them all turned and looked at Harry who only shrugged.

"What? I said I may as well use the money for a good cause." As if it was the simplest thing in the world. Harry got his hair ruffled by Remus and Dan whilst Emma and Tonks hugged him with their thanks. Hermione gave him her own thank you when her parents weren't looking. Harry realised something that day. Making out with your girlfriend is guaranteed to wake you up in the morning.

When they made it through to departures Harry went to the nearest window and stared on in awe as he watched the planes all take off. Everyone thought it was cute. Hermione sat down and read a book whilst Remus and Tonks went to have a look around the shops. Dan and Emma went to get coffee for everyone.

"Hey Hermione how fast does the planes go?" Harry asked as he watched them take off.

"Depends on what type of jet it is but the one were going on today, I'd say its top speed was around 700mph" With that Harry's face dropped. He had never dreamed of going that fast. Hell he thought his firebolt was fast. This was a whole new level of speed.

A few hours later a Harry found himself sitting on a plane. He and Hermione were in the front seats followed by Dan and Emma with Remus and Tonks sitting at the back. Hermione let Harry have the window seat but insisted on being allowed to sprawl over his lap whenever she wanted to look out the window.

"Hang on I thought you were afraid of flying?" He asked jokingly. Hermione gave a smirk.

"I don't like flying on brooms. Planes are a completely different experience. Planes, I enjoy." She replied simply.

45 minutes later and they found themselves taxing out onto the run way. Harry was beyond excitement. Hermione held out a sweet for him.

"If you suck on the sweet it will help stop your ears from popping as we take off" Hermione explained. Harry shrugged but took the sweet never the less. A loud roar of the engines signalled take off. Harry felt the plane gathering more and more speed then he felt the g force plough down. They had lifted off (so to speak).

Harry was officially on his first ever holiday.

AN: Ok guys just a short chapter to bring it all in. Quick warnings my updates are going to be slowing down. I'll still try to update as and when I can but I have a lot going on at the moment and so I can't devote as much attention to this as what I normally would. Keep the reviews coming!
