Hermione was standing around a hole in the ground with a tall tree hanging above them she could feel the cool breeze blowing around her she was wearing a black dress that clung to her curves, Harry was wearing a suit with a white shirt and black tie as was Max when the speaking began she looked up to see Albus was officiating something when she realised that it was a funeral she wondered who's it was until she looked down at a pure white coffin with silver handles it was only medium sized big enough for a child it was then she realised that it was her daughters funeral. She cried out and tried to get to her daughter's grave but she couldn't move she was standing there staring at the beautiful white coffin as it was lowered in the ground she watched as everyone through dirt from the ground on to the coffin as she was finally committed to the ground.

Hermione blinked and there in front of her was a beautiful black marble headstone there was a picture of her daughter smiling it was at from Christmas time and underneath was lovely gold writing engraved.

R.I.P

Lyra Rose Granger

Loving Daughter, Sister, Granddaughter and Goddaughter

Heaven has gained a beautiful, smart and intelligent Angel, may you live the life you so wished,

Achieve all the goals you want, while watching over your family and all who cares, loves and cherishes you.

May you finally be at rest and at peace in the arms of the Angels.

Hermione read with tears rolling down her cheeks as she sat at her daughters grave she placed a shaky hand on top and thought about all the happy times they shared and witnessed when she was approached by her son Matthew and Harry the three of them stood by the headstone Hermione kissed her finger tips and brushed them along the top of the headstone and then placed a lone white rose on top and watched as Matthew placed a green one next to hers and Harry who placed a yellow one next to Matthews all of them were lying diagonal she slowly stood up putting her arm around her son's shoulder and allowing Harry to put his around hers.

She looked at them both with a weak smiled as she said ''Let's go home.'' she suddenly caught something in the corner of her eye she looked around and she was alone in the grave yard and standing there was her daughter's spirit Hermione watched as her dream self ran towards her.

''Ly, thank Merlin, please come back to me, I can't lose you I need you, Matthew needs you.'' she watched as her daughter pointed to an area near a tree that was just white she felt calm like she was at peace and all her worries washed away, she saw that there were three people waiting Lilly, Sirius and James they were standing their smiling Sirius waved his hand and she looked back to her daughter.

Lyra noticed her mothers confusion and sadness and shook her head ''It's so nice Mummy, I don't feel any pain anymore I feel strong again I'm happy Lilly told me that she was pleased that Uncle Harry had the chance of a proper family and that she would have been honoured to have you a part of her family and that if she had another child and a sister for Uncle Harry that you would be that one.'' Lyra smiled again ''She will look after me and both James and Sirius promised to look after me as well.''

She beamed at her mother but could see she was sad ''I am ok mum I will be fine I am a big girl now, safe and at peace. Mum will you do something for me?''

Hermione smiled ''Anything darling what is it? Dream Hermione asked Lyra.

''I want you to give my love to Uncle Harry and tell Matthew that I know we argued but I love him and I will be watching over him as I will you and Uncle Harry. I also have one more request I want you to find a man it would be cool to have a dad I know Matthew would like a dad, and if you could get me a baby sister all the better I mean I love Mat but I wished I had a sister. Please be happy Mummy you're the best mum in the world I love you mummy, I must go Sirius says we don't' have long.'' she gave her mother a kiss on the cheek and a quick hug before she happily skipped over towards James, Lilly and Sirius.

Hermione was shouting at her dream self ''What are you doing go after her!'' Hermione growled in frustration at her dream self as she just stood there and touched the side of her cheek she decided to do it herself since her dream self wouldn't ''Nooooo please come back, Ly, please I can't lose you, I need you don't leave us or me please I beg you, stay with me.''

She started struggling against someone who was trying to stop her reaching her daughter when she heard her name being called quietly at first then it got louder ''Get of me I need to get her, she's leaving she can't leave me I need her'' Hermione shot up and her head collided with someone else she looked up to see she had just head-butted Harry's nose she was covered in sweat and panting ''Harry what on earth is going on what are you doing here?''

Harry was asleep in bed when he was awoken by shouting and he realised it was Hermione he could hear crying and pleading it was loud and he knew instantly she was having a nightmare about Lyra. He got out of bed and rushed to her room and slammed up a silencing charm knowing that most people would have heard her shouting and crying when he walked in his heart broke he could hear her calling out for Lyra he began shaking her ''Hermione'' when she continued to cry he shouted a little louder and shook her harder ''HERMIONE'' the next thing he knew and felt was her head colliding with his nose he looked and saw her looking at him confused he gave her a small smile ''I heard you crying and shouting out for Lyra so I came to you I cast a silencing charm don't' worry'' he sat down next to her and pulled her close to his side ''Want to tell me about it''

Hermione allowed Harry to pull her close to him while she composed herself she quickly scourgefied herself so she was now sweat free ''I'm sorry, I thought I put my silencing wards up obviously I forgot and the nightmare was more real than ever. I was watching myself at Lyra's funeral, it was beautiful and I couldn't' move or do anything to interfere I was watching my dream self burying her while Albus officiated it, then you and Matthew placed coloured roses on top of her head stone, I put a white Rose you put yellow and Matthew put Green it took me awhile to realise it was her funeral I wanted to get to her to stop it all to wake up but I couldn't get to her. Every time I tried to grab my hands went through like air''

Hermione sighed as she rested her head on his shoulder ''Then I saw her spirit she was standing not that far away from your mum, dad and Sirius. She told me that your mum said she would look after her as will both your father and Sirius and that if she could have a child for you to have a sibling I would be it she is happy I gave you a chance of a family, then Ly said she wanted me to get a man and give her another sibling and a father but she want's a sister more than a brother as Matthew is enough then I watched her leave and I called out to her but she wouldn't' turn around and well here I am it was so real Harry'' She allowed some tears to fall ''I don't' want to lose her I'm not ready I don't' think I will ever be ready how am I going to do it for real when the nightmares are so life like that they rip me apart''

Harry rubbed her back as he listened to Hermione's nightmare while rocking her back and forth he was concerned about her and he blamed Ron for her state that she was in she was never this hysterical nor broken before and she defiantly wouldn't have forgotten her wards she cast them at all times he wanted to kill him he had made it worse and it was obviously playing on her mind. ''Shhh it will be ok she isn't going anywhere just yet she is still strong she is a fighter like her mummy and Uncle Harry she wont give up with out a fight.''

He didn't want to lose her either he felt glad that his mother, father and Sirius would be their to look after her ''You know at least Mum, Dad and Sirius love her and will watch over her and look after her for us till we can be with her again'' Harry blamed Ron for all this the longer he spent calming Hermione the angrier he got with Ron he blamed him for her distress earlier today and for the things he said to her which caused her nightmare to be worse than usual he knew one thing one Ronald Weasley was going to regret ever upsetting her like this.

Hermione shook her head ''I guess I'm glad but I don't want to know that they will look after her because she shouldn't have to go we should die before her all parents are supposed to go before their children it isn't normal.''

Harry just continued to run his hand through her curls and rocking her back and forth hoping she would fall back to sleep. Soon enough he heard her breathing even out and knew she had fallen to sleep he lay her down and pulled the covers up over her he kissed her on top her head before he got up and left her room and headed back to his own room and bed.

His room was only a few rooms away from hers he had set up the family wing and it only included himself and Hermione until the kids come to stay then it will be their room as well he cast a quick tempus and sighed it was now five thirty in the morning he only hoped Hermione would manage to sleep in seeing as she was up he allowed himself to finally fall back to sleep for a couple of hours.

Down stairs the clock chimed nine everyone was already up and in the kitchen. Harry had not long woke up and he was in a stinking mood he was upset and angry about Hermione he glared when he saw Ron sitting at the table like nothing happened he poured himself a drink and sat down but couldn't take it any more ''HOW the hell can you sit there like nothing happened!'' he snapped angrily.

Ron looked confused ''What are you on about mate I haven't done anything it was Mione who started it I...''

Harry slammed his hands on the table and stood up he was still angry with Ron and seeing him just set him off ''NO RONALD SHE ISN'T TO BLAME YOU ARE! YOU AND YOUR WORDS HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO SOMEONE YOU CLAIM TO LOVE LET ALONE SPEAK ABOUT MY GOD-CHILDREN AND DAUGHTER LIKE SHE DESERVES BEING SICK. YOU ARE A DISGRACE I REGRET EVER BEING FREINDS WITH YOU.''

Everyone was stunned at the way Harry just snapped at Ron they guessed it had to do with Hermione and the shouting he had heard last night and he was pretty sure everyone else heard it too ''Harry how is Hermione? I assume she is having a lie in this morning'' Remus asked concerned

Harry turned away from Ron and sat down again ''Yes she is fine now thank you Remus, she fell back to sleep eventually we just sat and talked for a little while it is the best way to help her. I am guessing that the argument yesterday had effected her more than I thought, she always places her wards up around her room as to not disturb anyone and I guess she was thinking more than usual about Lyra and it played on her mind turning into a nasty upsetting, heart breaking nightmare.''

Harry turned his head to glare at Ron before looking back at Remus ''Thanks to Ronald she was so upset she forgot to place her wards and when she had her usual nightmare it was worse and she woke up hysterical and totally horrified and broken I had to fight with her to wake her up. She fought me thinking I was stopping her trying to reach Lyra she was watching her dream self and couldn't reach out to Lyra when her dream self wouldn't do anything so she is now sleeping hopefully she wont be up any time soon''

Remus sighed and nodded in understanding the others looked sad but Tonks gasped ''Can't she take Dreamless sleep?''

Harry shook his head ''No she can't she went through a stage of relying on the stuff, she eventually became immune to it and it no longer works for her she started in her fifth year after Sirius and the curse Dolohov sent at her she uses her Occlumency often as it is the only way she managed to get this far without anyone knowing her secret or seeing her emotions but sometimes her emotions will be that strong they break through her Occlumency and haunt her like last night.''

Molly looked stunned ''Oh the poor dear, But what about her health she needs to sleep and I never see any marks under her eyes''

''That's because she uses a glamour but this isn't' a normal glamour this one she created herself it doesn't require you to reapply it constantly it can last up to ten hours a day before you need to add it again and it can't be detected nor removed with a simple finite the person who cast it got to cancel it she is very good at casting it she has used it ever since Lyra was diagnosed'' he said sadly ''I know because I have used it occasionally''

Ron glared at Harry ''I don't know why your taking her side over mine she has turned you against me can't you see that? You were my friend first not hers and it's not my fault if she got a guilty conscience''

Harry swung his head around so fast he could have gotten whiplash he narrowed his eyes at Ron his eyes were dark green now they were broadcasting just how angry and pissed he really was ''Are you mental we are not mates, mate'' he spat angrily ''You are no longer my mate you cut all ties when you spoke to Hermione and about my God-children they way you did so you have severed all ties and burnt any chance of me forgiving you when you betrayed Mione by calling her those horrible names. You are to blame for her nightmare last night, she has nothing to be guilty over she has done all she can to cure her little girl she has made herself sick over it all''

Ron was about to say something but couldn't' as Harry continued to shout at him

''She blames herself enough Ronald she is a mess she can't face loosing her little girl, she doesn't want to bury her. Hell this is killing me everyday since I found out so I can only imagine what it is doing to her and her twin brother, Mione talks about joining Lyra sometimes and I think if it wasn't for Matthew and me she would have killed herself to join her little girl that's how much she hates all this.''

Harry was showing no sign of stopping there and so he continued ''And yes I am taking her side and I always will she is my sister in every way but blood but that will be changing soon enough. She will become a Potter not by marriage but as my blood sibling as will the kids I love her with all my heart we are a family they are my family and will always come first no matter what. You could have been a part of us Ron you could have been there Uncle too but you threw that away because of your jealousy. We do not need you, Mione has done well on her own and she has me she always will. NOW sit down before I make you or hex you on top of what Mione has done to you. Draco and Lucius are going to love your new hairdo by the way'' he said smirking before sitting in his chair again.

Ron blanched at the thought of the Malfoy's laughing at him looked like an idiot and a fool thanks to the hex Hermione sent at him he still couldn't understand why Harry was so mad at him, when he thought it should be him mad at Harry he betrayed him not the other way around, by lying to him and keeping things hidden from him plus Harry was closer to her to close for his liking he especially the way he would comfort her and kiss her head when she was sad and that was what he should be doing she belonged to him. So as far as he was concerned it is Harry and Hermione who are both in the wrong not him.

Ron looked around for Ginny and noticed she wasn't there he decided he would go and see what was wrong with her he knew she was pissed with Hermione for keeping Harry away from her as he is with Harry keeping Hermione away from him. Ron got up and walked out of the kitchen leaving an angry Harry behind and many shocked faces like Remus, Tonks, Snape, Dumbledore, and both his parents he was sure if the twins were home and not at the shop they would be just as pissed with him and his attitude towards Hermione as the rest of them.

''Harry you need to calm down you don't want Hermione seeing you this worked up do you'' Remus said softly

Harry sighed ''Yes I know it's just... how can he sit there like he has done nothing wrong! He turned on her he has thrown away almost nine years of friendship because he can't handle his jealousy and temper.''

Harry focussed on calming down ''I will say this though if he doesn't sort out his attitude and his treatment towards my family I will not hesitate throwing him out of our home I will not have my family uncomfortable because of him and that goes for anyone''

Albus smiled at Harry ''I think that is fair, so you said you are going to make Hermione and the children a Potter by becoming your sister do you have any idea how you plan to do this?''

Harry shook his head ''I'm not sure I think I heard Hermione talking about blood bonds and blood rituals that can happen I think she said the goblins can do it I'm not to sure''

Albus nodded ''Yes, the Goblins perform this now and again it was used mostly for families who adopt a child, it would allow them to mix there bloods and become a part of them through blood they would take on some features it was to make them fit in some have done it when they wanted to re-instate a family member who has been cast from a family as well.''

Harry beamed at him ''Really so do you think if I went to see the goblin in charge of the Potter vaults they will be able to perform the ritual?''

Albus smiled ''You can ask them when you go to claim your ring and lordship, Hermione will become Lady Potter and her son will be the Potter Heir as her requirement would be to bear a child as she is a lady''

Harry shrugged ''I don't care about that, even If I do get married and have children they wont go without''

Albus smiled ''Yes well I am not to sure how it all works you will have to speak with a goblin now the war is over you are allowed to claim your fortune''

Harry nodded ''If I can make her my blood sister, would it be broken if she married''

Albus nodded ''Your title protects all Potters including Hermione, if she was to marry another lord who can that means the protection would be under that family and then it would be broken like Narcissa Malfoy she was a black and when she married Lucius who is a lord and become a Lady she was protected by the Malfoy title which makes her Narcissa Malfoy nee Black Hermione would still be your sister as she would be joined to you by blood she just wouldn't carry the title Lady Potter if she married another lord if she marries a normal wizard with no title then she could choose to keep the Potter title as well as her husbands name''

Harry nodded ''That's ok then as long as she is my sister in blood I mean it makes no difference she is already my sister but I would love the kids and Hermione to be a part of me properly and become a Potter I think my mother and Father would approve of Hermione being a Potter and my Sister''

Remus smiled and chuckled ''Oh yes your mother will be vert happy she is bright, clever, loving, caring and intelligent and she has a temper as well as stubborn and your Father would be happy as well.''

Harry smiled ''I like it Lady Hermione Potter-Granger or Granger-Potter I dont' know we will talk about that when the time comes there is no rush right now.''

Hermione blinked her eyes once, twice, three times before opening them fully she sat up and groaned she felt rough like she had done a round of Curcio she sighed and got herself out of bed she quickly had a shower and got dressed in a simple pair of tight hugging black skinny jeans and a plain white t-shirt before securing her hair with her wand and heading down stairs she couldn't believe how late it was she cast a tempus and was surprised it was Ten thirty she must have needed the sleep.

She was feeling hungry and had a lot to do today including getting her son pulled out of school when she walked in she smiled at everyone she noticed they looked concerned ''Morning guys, I want to apologise If I woke any of you I usually have my wards set up'' she said sheepishly as she slid into the seat next to Harry she smiled when he kissed her on her cheek

''Have a nice sleep?''

''Well I didn't have any more nightmares if that's what you mean, although I wish I hadn't slept in so late I have so much to do, I have to write a letter of consent so mum can pull Matthew out of school and then I need to make sure I have everything packed ready for Uni tomorrow, and I got to get things for the kids''

Harry chuckled ''We have plenty of time, I am sure between us both we can get what we need.''

Molly chuckled ''Here drink you coffee, your going to need it if your going to be that busy. Now what about some breakfast?''

Hermione smiled ''Yes please, just some bacon, egg and toast please Molly, err where's Ginny is she not well?'' she asked a little confused she couldn't' remember seeing her after she got into an argument with Ron and she was more curious than concerned.

Molly smiled as she dished up Hermione's breakfast she placed it in front of her with a smile ''Oh she came in earlier, but she left for her room said she had homework to do or something like that''

Hermione mentally snorted Homework yeah right she never worries about her homework. She is obviously jealous over both me and Harry because of how close we are I mean Harry really he is my brother that is so wrong and so many levels I made it clear enough so I don't' see how she can struggle to see that, then again it must be catching both Ron and Ginny must have it I think it's called the 'I don't use my brain syndrome' Hermione mentally chuckled over her last thought ''Oh right I see that's a shame'' she replied trying to sound generally surprised she smiled when she saw her breakfast and thanked her again before she began eating she was enjoying it too.
