DISCLAIMER: I WOULD NEVER OWN HARRY POTTER AND CHARACTERS.
Harry entered the Three Broomsticks and found Ron waving at him. He smiled when Harry walked over to him.
"Good you could make it mate!" Ron said, as the two men sat by their table." What did you tell 'Mione?"
"I sent her over to Jean." Harry said." Apparently, she was also about to meet us here but John insisted her to spend a day with her , she decided to stay back."
Ron nodded." That's good. And I see you have something to tell me." He smirked.
Harry opened his mouth speak, when two girls joined them.
"Took you long enough." Ginny said as she gave a peck on Harry's cheek and sat next to him. "Luna thought that you and 'Mione were shagging like bunnies."
Harry rolled his eyes at Luna, who sat next to Ron.
"I just assumed." Luna shrugged." Seeing that you two got together."
"We've been together since day before yesterday." Harry said." It doesn't mean that I'll start shagging her-"
"I was joking Harry." Luna laughed."Don't take it seriously."
Harry just stared at Luna and then asked." Why did you call me here? What - Is it something related to Deligati Per Somnia?"
"Harry, you need to tell Hermione that you love her-" Luna started.
"I already did!" Harry said when the eyes of the other three widened." Why-"
"That's for the control on each and every dream you get." The blonde explained." The more closer you get, the better dreams you have."
"That was understandable." Ginny said." Hermione looked really happy and excited when she told me about your recent dream." She gave Harry a knowing look as his ears tinged pink.
"Well, that-"
"What was it about?" Ron asked excitedly.
"Hermione and I- we had a baby girl." Harry smiled as he recollected the dream."Her first words. It was so cute. And when the word was 'Da-Da'."
"That means you did shag her in your dreams." Ron said cheekily when Harry glared at him.
"Stop being cheeky Ron." Ginny laughed, smacking her brother's arm."That's Harry and 'Mione's business."
Ginny too earned a glare from Harry, when Luna spoke again.
"I presume that Jean has told you about Hermione being your fiancée."
Harry nodded." She did."
"There is a problem regarding that."
Harry raised an eyebrow in question when Luna continued"You need to get married by this September."
"What?" Harry asked in horror" That's only four months away!"
Luna sighed and nodded and tried her best to calm him down as Harry kept rambling.
"But Hermione- We hadn't even started our relationship properly-
"Harry-"
"I've just taken her out for one date-"
"Harry-"
"And you ask me to marry her by September?"
"Harry! Listen to me!"
Harry gave out a huge breath and motioned Luna to continue.
"Listen-" she started", you have to marry her by September. Probably, a day before her birthday."
"But why?"
Luna exchanged looks with Ron and Ginny and said" Because the Unbreakable Vow Jean and Lily made was on Hermione's birthday. The day she was born. And you know it can't be broken."
"But then, I can marry her any year I want." Harry reasoned.
"I know you can." Luna nodded." But, you see,'Deligati Per Somnia' comes into being."
"How?"
"Harry, once you confess your love to each other- you need to get bonded at the earliest. Your dreams might be controlled for now. But as September nears, it will become worse. And since your bethroal to 'Mione was done in September, it plays a major part. If you don't get married, you both will go insane, or probably lose your memories."
Harry looked at his three friends in worry. This problem was something to worry about. Losing memories or going insane; they were the last things he was ever bothered about. He would lose himself. Or worse, Hermione. They did love each other. And Harry couldn't lose more. He had exactly four months and Harry had to make best use of it.
"I need to work on it." Harry said, getting up." Thanks for telling me."
"Not a problem." Luna smiled." Are you sure you don't have time for a Butterbeer?"
"I would like to stay but I just remembered, I promised 'Mione, Jean and John a dinner."
"Ah! Family man already eh?" Ron teased.
"Yes. Any problem?" Harry retorted." And Jean specifically called me. You see, she happens to be my godmother."
"You can never deny her then." Ginny said in agreement." Enjoy your dinner."
"Thanks. For everything." Harry said sincerely before he apparated directly on the Granger's doorstep. He had to talk to Jean to clarify some things. The only problem would be Hermione's presence.
Ringing the doorbell, Harry paced anxiously on the porch when a man with familiar chocolate brown eyes and dark brown hair, opened the door.
"Harry my boy!" John Granger boomed, letting Harry enter the door." I thought you would take ages!"
"Being Head Auror has its perks." Harry said as the door behind him locked." They got me off early. Plus, working on Sunday is not in me."
"I agree." John said." I hate working on Sundays. If I get emergencies, Jean takes my place."
"I heard my name!" Someone from the kitchen called out.
The two men chuckled when John spoke" Jean and Minnie have been waiting for you. Why don't you go and join them in the kitchen while I order pizzas?"
Harry nodded when John went back to the porch to order their meal. For the moment, Harry got himself engrossed with Hermione's pictures in the shelves. His lovely Hermione. He picked up a picture where she was in Jean's arms as an infant and smiled. Baby Lily in their dreams was exactly like Hermione, with Harry's eyes. He smoothly caressed his thumb over the baby's cheeks when-
"Harry, give us a hand will you?"
It was Hermione's voice from the kitchen. He chuckled, as he kept the frame back where it was and walked into the kitchen. Hermione and Jean were creaming tarts with small beads of sweat shining on their forehead.
"Hello my ladies!" Harry greeted them with a peck on Jean's cheek and a long lingering kiss on Hermione's lips.
"Oh good Lord !" Jean exclaimed in disgust as Hermione and Harry broke away and smiled at smiled at each other." Not in front of me!"
"Mum!" Hermione whined, turning crimson in shade." It was just a kiss."
"You two would've started groping each other if I would've not given you a signal of my presence." Hermione's mother scowled.
"Oh sure you know us Jean!" Harry smirked." We would've shagged each other-"
"Harry!" Hermione screeched, turning maroon when they heard Jean mutter something like 'spare me the horror'.
"I was joking love." Harry mischievously chuckled, giving a peck on Hermione's cheek.
"It certainly didn't look like." Hermione muttered when Harry leaned over and tried to figure out what the women were up to before he interrupted.
"Oh, so I see tarts!" Harry said in excitement, when Jean chuckled.
"It treacle tart, your favourite." She said." Minnie has been on it for the last two hours. She wanted it to be perfect and this happens to be her third try."
"That's why I love your daughter." Harry said truthfully as he wrapped an arm around Hermione's waist and smiled at her mother.
"Am I interrupting something?" John made his appearance yet again as he walked over and gave a peck on Jean's lips. Harry and Hermione exchanged a smirk when they found Hermione's mother, flushed by her cheeks.
"We were not snogging!" She declared as the other three laughed.
"Come on Jean!" John said"Stop behaving like a teenage schoolgirl."
Jean glared at her husband as the younger couple continued to laugh. Hermione leaned over and gave a kiss on her mother's cheek. "Come on mum! At least you guys were not groping each other!"
Her mother shot another glare and said" I want you-" she pointed at Hermione",and you-" she pointed at John", out of this kitchen!"
"What about me?" Harry innocently asked."
"I need to have a talk with you young man!" The mother said, shooting a meaningful look to Harry.
"But mum-" Hermione started" Harry-"
"Come on Minnie." Her father said" Let's leave these two alone. Your mother means it."
John gave his wife a brief look and walked out of the kitchen with Hermione.
Harry at an instant cast Muffialto on the kitchen entrance and then grabbed one of the small tarts and gobbled it down.
"This is heaven!" Harry commented."Why doesn't 'Mione make it more often?"
"She'll make it now." Jean smiled at him." I assume Luna told you about the marriage?"
Harry nodded."Why so early?"
"She told you that as well."
"I know. But Jean, what am I supposed to do?"
"Propose to her."
"Now?"
"Not now if you want. Probably after a month or so. I'll start the wedding preparations till then."
"Woah! Really?"
"Obviously! It's my daughter and godson's wedding! And I want the best for them! In fact, John agrees. That's why he's being a bit cheeky."
Harry chuckled." Thanks. I want to get involved too."
"Then you must come over for once a week for the next three months. Deal?"
"Deal."
