Hermione and Ron had decided tonight was the night: they were going to tell everyone, besides Harry who had already been informed, that they were going to Australia in two days time. Nervously, they grabbed hands and walked into the kitchen. Everyone else was sitting at the table starting to eat.

"Good thing you arrived," said Percy who had been coming around to the Burrow more often, "we were about to call a search party."

"Oh sorry we were just in the garden," Hermione said quietly.

"Is everything alright Hermione? You seem kind of pale? Not that my food won't fix that," Mrs. Weasley exclaimed.

"No Mum she's fine. We just have to tell you guys something," Ron added.

"Hermione's not pregnant is she?" George asked half joking.

"OF COURSE SHE ISN'T YOU BLOODY GIT!" Ron yelled.

"Well, what is it Hermione?" Ginny asked inquisitively. All eyes were on Hermione and Ron.

"Ron and I are leaving on Tuesday. We're going to Australia to find my parents."

Mrs. Weasley had a look of pure shock on her face. Percy's mouth was wide open while George had a grin on his face. Mr. Weasley was looking down at his napkin, trying to not show any emotions. Ginny looked conflicted. It was almost like she couldn't decide if she was happy for them or upset that they hadn't informed her of this earlier. The only one who didn't seem surprised was Harry. There was a smile on his face.

"Well Harry is going with you isn't he dear?" Mrs. Weasley asked even though she already knew the answer to her question.

"No Mrs. Weasley. We all thought that this was something Hermione and Ron had to do." Hermione was glad that Harry had answered for her.

"Wait! So you knew and you didn't tell me?" Ginny asked Harry angrily as she slapped his arm.

"OW! Ron asked me not to tell anyone until they were ready. I'm sorry Ginny, I really am." Harry didn't want to upset Ginny, but he didn't have a choice. He kept the promise his best friend had asked him to keep.

"So are you two going alone?" Mrs. Weasley had stood up when she asked this.

"Molly, calm down," Mr. Weasley said finally getting involved.

"No Arthur, I will not calm down! Your son and his girlfriend are going on a trip all by themselves. They've barely been dating for a month!"

"I know what you're thinking Mum, but it's not like that! Hermione and I are going to find her parents. Nothing is going to happen! Hermione and I love each other and we wouldn't want to spoil that so early in our relationship. Even if we were, we're of age. We can make these decisions for ourselves."

Hermione had never been so proud of Ron. He had stood up to his mother for her, for them.

"I guess you're right Ronald. You are of age and responsible enough to make these choices. It's just, be safe and make sure you owl us when you get in. If I don't get some sort of correspondence within three days I am personally going to go to Australia to bring you two home!" Mrs. Weasley had sat back down.

"Thank you for understanding. We just have to find my parents," Hermione said.

Hermione and Ron received many glances as they sat down next to each other at the table. During dinner Ron took Hermione's hand and squeezed it. Finally it hit her; they were actually leaving in two days to find her parents. The parents she had not seen in almost a year; she couldn't wait.
