"That was incredibly boring." Ginny whined.

It was almost one in the morning, and she was tired. She had her heels in hand, and was just itching to take off her dress and get in her nightgown.

Harry, who was holding Teddy in his arms, leaned over and kissed Ginny gently on her forehead.

"We'll be home soon." He told her.

They were waiting for Hermione and Draco, who were helping clean up. Harry had offered to help, but Hermione had insisted that he accompany Ginny who was watching Teddy. Hermione had to stay back to assure that everyone left, and Fleur had asked Draco to stay back to help Hermione and Nadia.

Ginny leaned up against Harry and held his arm tight.

"I love you." She whispered.

Harry smiled, and kissed her once more.

"We're done!" Hermione said, as she walked up to them.

Draco was following her, holding a large box.

"What've you got there?" Harry asked Draco.

Draco stopped beside Hermione and carefully put the box on the ground.

"It's just some old potion books. The new potions professor is a friend of my mother's so he's letting me borrow them for a while." He explained.

"That sounds very boring." Ginny said.

Hermione and Harry laughed.

"Well not for me." Draco said smiling.

He picked up his box, and bid them all goodbye.

"It's late, you three are definitely staying over at my place tonight." Hermione said to Harry, as soon as Draco left.

Harry shrugged, and Ginny was too tired to argue.

It didn't take long for them to reach Hermione's home. Hermione offered Harry and Ginny her bedroom. Teddy already had his own bed at Hermione's place.

Ginny ripped off her dress while she clumsily made her way to Hermione's room. She grabbed the largest shirt she could find, slipped it on, and fell into bed.

Hermione took Teddy in her arms, so she could tuck him in bed, while Harry went to fetch water for himself.

"Everything alright?" Harry whispered.

He came back to Teddy's room, after checking up on Ginny.

Hermione nodded, before she leaned in and kissed Teddy goodnight. She stepped back, and Harry tucked the sheets in around him. They both quietly made their way into the living room, where they slumped onto the sofas.

"My mind is racing." Harry said.

She knew how he felt, she couldn't stop thinking about what had happened outside Hagrid's home.

"We need to find out what's going on." She told Harry.

Harry shook his head.

"I can't help but think that we may never know the full truth. Think about it. We didn't know about the other Wizarding Worlds for so long. If something that big could be kept quiet for so long, imagine what else they could be keeping from us." He said.

"Okay, before you go full conspiracy theorist on me, I did know about the other Worlds. I had read something about it in a book I found in the floorboards at Hogwarts. It slipped my mind, and I think that's how it was meant to be. There were many agreements and meetings before we were granted this opportunity to bring the worlds back together again. It's still a possibility, it's not a hundred percent confirmed." Hermione told him.

"Who could we ask?" Harry asked Hermione.

"I wish I knew. I don't think it would be right at all, to ask Kingsley. I could get my hands on some literature, and maybe ask a few of the Ministers, that I'm friends with."

Harry raised his brow.

"Just friends." Hermione said with emphasis.

Harry smirked.

"Anyway," Hermione continued, " I have vacation days that I need to use and I think this might be the right time. Nadia can be in charge temporarily, without me having to worry. But I'll be able to focus on getting information about the hidden past."

"I'll ask some of the older Aurors." Harry said.

Hermione agreed that this would be a good beginning. They needed information, but they had to be careful. Not everyone could be trusted.

Ginny walked by them, into the kitchen. She came back with a bottle of water, and sat down in Harry's lap.

"Let's just forget about all that dark stuff for now. Hermione, I heard you stayed at Draco's, hmm? Details." Ginny demanded.

Harry rolled his eyes. He wrapped his arm around Ginny and stroked her hair.

Hermione laughed.

"Ginny, I told you."

Harry and Hermione laughed.

"Okay, well tell me more."

Hermione sighed.

"Nothing to say. He was very polite, just like a gentleman. He let me sleep in his bed, and no we didn't sleep together. Then he made pancakes, and that was all, really. I mean I've seen him so many times at the Ministry, and we've talked before, but I guess now, we're both comfortable with each other's company." She told them.

Ginny smiled.

"I'm a love guru." She declared.

"Why did you choose Draco?" Harry asked his wife.

Ginny tousled his hair.

"He wasn't my first choice." Ginny told him.

"I was wondering that too." Hermione added.

"Never question the love guru!" Ginny exclaimed.

It had been one day. Well, thirteen hours, since Hermione had last checked in with Nadia. Scratch that. It had been thirteen hours since Hermione had last been at the Ministry, and about ten seconds since she thought about work. Hermione had sent two owls to Nadia since she woke up and it was just two in the afternoon.

It was hard to concentrate. She had been reading an old history book, which she had borrowed from a neighbour. It was raining heavily outside. She had her kitchen window open slightly and she could hear the rain hit the roof and the pavement below. The cool breeze and the sound of rain made her feel tired.

Hermione didn't feel like spending time alone, she wanted to be with someone, anyone; but all her friends were busy. Harry and Ron were working on expanding security with the Minister, to prevent any incidents and keep everyone safe. Ginny had practice for the entire week. She had asked Hermione to watch Teddy, and he was taking a nap in his room.

There has to be someone I can bother.

She knew that all of her old classmates, and friends would be busy with work at the time.

Hermione sighed. As she was thinking about taking a nap, her phone started to ring. She quickly picked it up so Teddy wouldn't hear.

"Hey 'Mione!" Said Ginny.

"Hey Ginny, how are you?" She asked.

"I'm great. Training is going well. We ended early, and the girls and I were thinking about heading to the muggle salon. What are you up to?"

Hermione sighed again. She explained her dilemma.

"Well why don't you play with Teddy." She asked.

"He's asleep." Hermione said.

"Hold on." Ginny said.

Hermione listened. Ginny was still on the line but she was talking to someone else in the background. It sounded like a man.

"Hey, so there's someone here who would like to talk to you." Ginny said, giggling.

Hermione was curious as to who it could be. She wasn't that close to anyone else on Ginny's team.

"-ello."

Oh.

"Hello, Viktor." Hermione said quietly.

She couldn't believe it. Hermione had been avoiding him for a very long time, and Ginny knew that. Yet she had handed her phone over to him.

"I missed you." He said.

Hermione took a deep breath, trying to control her emotions. She was thinking about what to reply when she heard Ginny's voice in the back.

"Oh I would love to." Viktor said, replying to what Ginny had said.

"Sorry?" Hermione asked.

"Well, I'll meet you tomorrow then. Ginny wants to talk, and I have to go. Goodbye!" He said.

"Sorry?!" Hermione repeated herself.

Did I hear that right?

"Hermione!" Ginny squealed into the phone.

"Ginny, what did you do?" Hermione asked.

"Well you said you were bored, and I fixed that." Ginny said happily.

Hermione groaned.

"I can't talk to you right now." She said, irritated.

"Yeah, you can thank me later. I have to go too, bye and kiss Teddy for me!" Ginny said quickly before hanging up.

Hermione put her phone down.

Great. One more thing to worry about.

Hermione got up from her chair and made her way to the sofa. She had closed her eyes for a few minutes when she heard a tapping sound coming from the kitchen. Hermione slowly stood and made sure she had her wand on her. Quietly, she walked back to the kitchen. The tapping sound had stopped. When Hermione looked into the kitchen, she saw a small owl, sitting on the window ledge.

Hermione quickly rushed over to open the window for the bird, to get it out of the rain. The owl flew in and landed on top of the faucet, where it ruffled its feathers, and then held out its leg. Hermione gently untied the letter from it's leg.

It was from Draco.

Hello Hermione,

I found some books at the Manor, you may find interesting. However, they are old and you will have to come here to see them. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but if you are still interested, let me know and I can take you there.

Draco Malfoy

She had met Draco at the Ministry the day after the Hogwarts dinner, and had informed him about what had happened outside of Hagrid's hut. Hermione knew that his family had connections, and he knew a lot more of the elderly wizards who would be able to tell them about their history.

It was odd, but Hermione knew she could trust Draco had initially had her doubts but after working along side with him, she felt so comfortable, and he had a entirely different personality.

Hermione took some parchment out and quickly wrote her reply.

Good afternoon Draco,

Thank you so much for taking the time to look for information. I don't mind coming to take a look. If you are free tomorrow afternoon, we can meet at Hogsmeade.

Hermione G

She knew that Viktor was coming to meet her tomorrow, and now she had a great excuse to end their meeting short.
