Wow... I sat at my computer screen for a good thirty minutes deciding whether to post this or not... I don't know if its as good as Proud Mudblood's story, but I'm sure as hell gonna try! I hope you guys enjoy this chapter.

"Can we go to the lake?" Sarah asked, walking into the Gryffindor Common Room, and jumping into her parents' laps, looking at them both with a puppy-dog expression on her face.

Harry looked over at Hermione, and she shrugged, "I don't care… But I'm staying. I gotta find a way for my parents to stay safe." She said, sighing unhappily, and looking down.

Harry groaned, "C'mon Hermione, you've been in the library all week… Can't you simply take a break for today?" Hermione reluctantly said, "I-They-Ugh, okay. Lets go to the lake then."

Sarah squealed in excitement and rushed into their room to try and find a bathing suit. "You're going to swim in the lake?" Hermione asked Harry, a nervous expression on her face.

"Of course I am! Why wouldn't I?" He asked, with a confused expression on his face, to which Hermione replied, "I don't know… Maybe the tournament gave you bad memories or something. It's up to you."

Harry's face darkened considerably, and he said, "Oh… I see. Nothing really happened to me there. I think I'll be fine." He muttered, getting up and going to help Sarah find something to swim in.

As he trudged up the stairs, he thought back on the previous week. He had continued trying to find the motive behind the Grangers' attack, with no avail. Although Harry's skills were considerably good, Voldemort's skills were just a bit better; just when Harry thought he had him beat, Voldemort had noticed him looking at that point, and defended it very well, causing Harry to temporarily give up, giving him time to recuperate, and also, try to build his skills. Hermione had, although reluctantly, volunteered to try and help him better his attacks, but since he already knew everything about his girlfriend/wife, it didn't help very much, and he decided to just think of a different method. Subtly didn't work, but neither did brute force! There had to be some way to get around Voldemort's methods of defense. He just decided to meditate on the matter a bit later.

He reached the top of the staircase, to find Sarah digging through her little pink suitcase, trying to find her swimsuit, but coming up with nothing. Harry smiled at his little girl, and said, "You know honey, I don't think that you have a swimming suit." He said, slowly pulling out his wand.

Sarah pouted and said, "I know! I don't think I have one either!"

"Hand me that green sweatshirt." He said, nodding at the gift that the Weasleys' always gave him for Christmas; this one was the one from his third year, and it was WAY too small; so he transfigured it into a single-piece pink swimsuit that fit Sarah perfectly.

"Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!" She said, rushing into his leg and clutching onto it tightly.

"You're welcome, sweet-pea," he said, patting her head, "Now go get changed, and we'll go."

She nodded, and rushed into the small bathroom, and Harry also changed into his swimsuit, a dark blue pair of swim trunks that really accented his eyes for some reason. Harry sat on his bed, waiting for his little girl to come out of the bathroom. When she did, Harry picked her up, and carried her into the common room, looking at Hermione, "You're swimming, aren't you?" He asked her, a small smile on his face.

Hermione nodded, "Yeah, I was waiting for you to come down."

Harry sighed and shook his head, "Are you really that insecure with me seeing you?"

She only blushed and nodded lightly, before rushing into their bedroom. 'I'll meet you at the lake… The little one can't wait a second.'

He said mentally to her, and feeling her reply back, he hoisted the little girl up on his hip, and out of the common room, ignoring the lustful stares of the girls in the corridor, and eventually the grounds of Hogwarts. A girl who looked to be about in her fourth year walked up, and tried flirting with him, but he just smiled and said that he had a girlfriend; he had a hard time ignoring the pang of guilt he felt when he saw her heartbroken expression, but tried to push the feeling down, and continued on his journey to the lake.

Sarah was unusually quiet, and Harry quickly noticed, and said, "What's wrong, sweet-pea?"

She lifted her head up from his shoulder, and shrugged, "That girl… She seemed to like you a lot!"

Harry smiled faintly and nodded, "Yeah, I bet she did, but I have you and Hermione! I can't leave you guys for some random girl, now can I?"

The adorable little girl nodded, and laid her head back on Harry's shoulder, "I guess. I like my mommy and daddy right now though."

Harry smiled, and sighed, "And I love my little girl, and no one else."

"I know daddy."

They reached the lake with no further incidents, but had to walk a little bit more to find a beach-style area, so Sarah could just wade in, as opposed to having to jump into the lake, at an unknown depth.

Sarah ran into the water, laughing and splashing as she did, but was immediately turned around as soon as the water reached her waist, and she turned back, her teeth chattering, and her lips already a light shade of blue.

"C-c-cold!" She muttered, and slowly walked back into shore, much to Harry's amusement.

"That's why I said wait. The water is super cold!" He said, remembering the Triwizard Tournament, and how cold the lake was, "Come here, so I can put a warming charm on yo-" His jaw dropped as he looked at Hermione and was blow away at what he saw.

She was wearing a jet-black bikini, which perfectly showed off her beautiful and perfect body, and left nothing to the imagination, as she walked, she smirked at the affect she had on Harry, and wrapped her arms around his neck, sitting in his lap, ignoring Sarah's groans of protest and disgust, and whispered in Harry's arms and said in a very seductive tone, "Like what you see?" to which Harry just nodded, and gave her a soft kiss, "I love it." He said when he finally could speak.

"DAAD-DY!" Sarah groaned, "Put the stupid charm on me!" She said whining, and stamping her foot.

"Can you say please?"

Sarah groaned again, and said, "Please?"

Harry smiled, and waved his wand, thinking the spell, and watching the warm light flow into his daughter's body, much to her delight, and she ran into the water, splashing and trying to swim, knowing not to go too far into the lake; she was much to scared, as she had heard the many tales of the giant squid that swam around in the center of the lake

"So my wonderful wife… What are the parents gonna do during this little escape from school?"

Hermione, just giving a sexy grin, pushed him down, and straddled his waist, leaning down, and giving him a soft kiss.

"Why don't we just let what happens, happen?" She whispered, giving Harry another a kiss, but a lot more passionate. They felt the rush of emotions flowing through each other, which only provided fuel to the fire.

Sarah looked back to see why her mommy and daddy weren't playing with her, and what she saw caused her smile faintly, but also be disgusted at the fact that the couple couldn't seem to keep their lips separated. Sarah knew vaguely of what happened, as the news of the Granger attack had quickly circulated, along with the parents disappearing to Dumbledore's office for a little while, only to come back with Hermione in tears and Harry in a rage. She heard the two one night having a conversation that scared her to death.

" 'As much as I hate it, Dumbledore has a point. Sarah could get hurt!' Sarah heard her mother say to Harry. "I know, but as long as she's with me, then nothing will happen to her!' She heard Hermione laugh, 'Harry, you know you won't always be there for her. Lets be realistic, okay? What if she does get hurt?' she heard Harry stand up, 'She won't get hurt. I don't see any other way!' 'We could send her to live with somebody…"

That small bit of the conversation scared Sarah the most, making her quickly flee to her bed. She sadly ended up crying herself to sleep that night, out of fear of losing her new parents after a mere week of living with them.

Although she felt like she was betraying her previous mother, she felt like she loved the two parents, and she did like them a lot. Sarah just decided to try and push those adult thoughts out of her head, and concentrate on her kid things, like what toy she should ask for when they get out of Hogwarts, or how to best try and finally scare her daddy. She smiled at the thought of her daddy jumping to the roof, and gently hitting his head on said roof.

And so the new Trio spent that Saturday on that beachhead, that they knew nobody would find them on, unaware of the threat to come.
