Hermione had just finished the truth serum and bottled placing it with the other two she had been dismissed to have her break so she gladly left she walked along and quickly sent her patronus it had changed after fourth year and became her Animagus form a panther she told her friend to meet her at the Uni's café as she continued to the destination.
When Hermione walked in she was greeted by many people and finally the woman behind the counter ''Hello''
''Hermione surely you're not after another coffee? you do know too much is bad for you. this will be your third cup''
Hermione chuckled ''Yes i would like another please with a double shot this time, one tea and two fruit cups please and I have almost done eleven hours worth of exams I am needing this caffeine besides the events yesterday have worn me out''
The woman behind the counter looked at her sadly and got the orders together ''I bet they did, and how are your exams going?''
''Oh there ok I suppose, I just come out of my Potions one I still got a written exam, a potions test and a few others yet but I can't wait for it to be over''
The woman chuckled and handed the orders over ''That'll be six galleons and two sickles''
Before Hermione could get the required amount she saw a hand lean over and pay she looked up and saw it was Becky ''Hey i was just about to pay''
''Yes well I beat you to it, now grab your coffee and lets' go''
Hermione shook her head and picked her drink up while Becky carried her own and their fruit cups over to a comfortable sofa with a table in front.
''So, how's it going''
Hermione chuckled ''Ok i guess, very, very hard I didn't expect it to be so hard''
Becky shuddered ''How bad is the exam exactly?''
''Awful, it's so tiring and It hurt my brain well the written exam is the hardest and i still have another one and a few other tests to do yet'' she shook her head ''So what have you been up to since I have been locked away''
Becky paled a little and looked away ''I have been relaxing and studying''
Hermione raised her eyebrow ''Beck, don't lie to me''
Becky sighed ''Fine i have been avoiding Gary he came up to our rooms earlier demanding I speak with him and that I give him another chance, he knew I was alone since you were in exams, i threatened to hex him and he left but everywhere I've been he's been''
Hermione's face went red her eyes were blazing with anger as she hissed ''He's following you!''
Becky saw her friends anger and sighed ''Don't worry about it, he hasn't tried anything''
''Yet'' Hermione spat out angrily
Becky sighed ''Don't' worry, he'll be gone tomorrow he will have graduated and he has his exam soon''
Hermione narrowed her eyes ''Has anything else happened''
Becky shook her head, she didn't' want her friend worrying not when she had to go and finish an important exam let alone the stress she was under yesterday so she just smiled ''Nope nothing, soooo how did Trans go''
''Trans?''
''Yeah, what''
''Are you that lazy that you can't say Transfiguration''
Becky giggled ''Nah, it sounds cool and I can't be bothered to say its name properly so how did your Trans exam go''
Hermione looked at her friend and shook her head ''Out of curiosity how would you shorten Potions then?
Becky thought about it for a moment ''Hmm Potes''
''Potes'' Hermione shook her head ''I'm sorry I ever asked'' she said chuckling ''And my Transfiguration exam went ok thank you, except the examiner was a bit fascinated that it was me he was examining and he just had to bring up last nights events''
Becky looked at Hermione's irritated face and couldn't' help it she burst out laughing ''I'm...I'm...Sorry' she said as she continued laughing ''Y..your f...face ha ha''
Hermione just scowled at her friend for laughing ''It is not funny Rebecca''
Becky sobered up instantly ''Hey, less of the Rebecca''
Hermione was the next person to chuckle she knew her friend hated being called Rebecca. ''Your like my mate Tonks, her name is Nymphadora Tonks but if anyone calls her Nymph or Nymphadora your guaranteed to piss her off and receive a hex she is only called Tonks''
''What if she got married then though'' Becky said chuckling
Hermione frowned ''I guess we would have to call her by her married name or Dora''
Becky hummed ''Dora isn't so bad I suppose''
Hermione continued to chat with Becky whilst she ate her fruit cup and drank her coffee she really couldn't wait for the exams to be over. she couldn't help but wonder what Harry was up too and if Sky was fitted ok, she guessed she would have to ask him tomorrow.
Harry looked up and wiped his eyes he looked around himself at the mess he had made he quickly pulled out his wand and with a wave everything was back to how it was previously once he composed himself he took down his wards, they were custom made and could only be brought down by the caster he smiled.
Hermione had created lots of wards during the war to keep them safe but this one was just one of her latest ones he shook his head and decided to have some food he was feeling hungry he was also going to ring Richard and see how Lyra was getting on, he wondered how Matthew was getting along as well.
Harry walked into the kitchen and nodded his head to everyone when they asked him if he was ok he sat down and smiled as Molly placed some food in front of him ''Thank you''
''No problem dear, you got to eat''
Harry smiled ''I'm sorry, for being rude earlier it wasn't any of your faults I just needed some time to myself''
Minerva smiled ''You don't need to be sorry Harry, we knew it wasn't' aimed at us you were upset that's understandable''
Severus looked at Harry ''Have you heard anything from the Grangers''
Harry shook his head ''Nope not yet, I'll give mum and dad a ring in a bit see if their home yet''
''Mum and Dad? Remus said confused he was surprised to hear Harry call anyone that
Harry smiled ''Yes i see them as my parents, they took me in during the summers when they could to get me away from the Dursely's and their treatment towards me, after my second year they took me in I would stay over with Mione, they bought me clothes and fed me, Helen wanted to beat my aunt up but Richard ensured she never so they persuaded the Dursely's to let me go with them and they would give them free treatments and check-ups, Mione's parents are well sort out dentists very popular so of course they took the offer and couldn't' wait to tell everyone that they got to go to the Granger's dentistry''
Harry smiled softly ''Even after I got their daughter petrified and almost killed they took me in, and cared for me they became like my parents I eventually told them about the war and they never once blamed me for Hermione getting injured they said that Hermione was stubborn and would make her own mind up and we all know that is true no one can tell her what she can and cannot do, not unless you want to get hexed, they took me on trips to the zoo, fairs and cinemas including out for meals, Richard taught me how to drive when I was of legal age in the Muggle world and got me to take my test the summer before we had to leave on our mission, Mione passed hers before me being a year older than me''
Remus smiled ''I'm glad you have some kind of parents in your life Harry, i know how hard it was loosing Sirius, and not knowing your parents but they would be proud of you and Sirius would be, they would be glad to know that someone cares for you so much and they would be pleased with Hermione, she is so much like your mother''
Harry smiled ''I guess although I love my mother even if I don't' know her I think Mione is better she is more forgiving than my mother was, Mione wouldn't' turn her back on anyone for one stupid word like she did to Severus How many times has she been called names especially Mudblood and how many times have Ron upset her and yet she still give him a chance including what happened here a few days ago so Mione is better than my mum and not like her at in that perspective anyway''
Remus sighed he knew Harry was right ''Your right, but your parents would be proud of your bond you have''
Harry smiled ''Yeah, i guess I am pretty lucky huh''
Tonks smiled ''No not lucky, you deserved to have a family Harry''
Harry smiled ''Excuse me a moment I'm going to ring my dad'' Harry pulled out his phone and dialled the number
''Hello''
''Hi dad its' me how's Princess are you at home yet?''
''No son, we will be leaving in the next hour if the doctor says it's fine, but Lyra seems to feel a bit better she's managed to eat some soup and drank some juice''
''Oh that's great, and she's kept it down then''
''So far yes''
''Oh right well, just to let you know the potions are on kitchen table I had my elf bring them over, there is instructions with them as well, give Lyra my love and tell her me and Mione will see her tomorrow''
''Speaking of that what have you decided to do son with Hermione''
Harry sighed ''I'm going to tell her after Graduation when we get back here so she has time to compose herself before we come home''
''That's a great idea, oh Helen says when do you plan on arriving?''
''I'm not to sure Mione's Graduation is at eleven I am hoping that we will be with you by five the latest or hopefully earlier''
''Ok, Helen said she'll hold on dinner until you guys arrive''
''Thanks Dad and what are we having''
''Come on Harry you know as well as I do that we have to wait and see''
''I guess, stupid thing to ask really wasn't it''
''Very, now I'm going to go I am getting some tea's for us, I'll see you tomorrow.''
''Yeah see you tomorrow dad''
''Perhaps we can go down the pub tomorrow evening, while the girls stay at home''
Harry laughed as he heard Richard groan and moan obviously he had been hit by Helen ''Mum hitting you'''
''Yep, didn't see her behind me, looks like our plan may have been stopped''
''I'm sure we'll find a way maybe buy Mione a book and you could buy mum a gift''
''Yes we'll need another plan, and that could work anyway we'll discuss it at a later date I'll see you tomorrow''
''Bye'' Harry ended the call with a relieved smile on his face and a grin as he thought of Helen slapping Richard for his comment he looked up and saw some confused and amused smiles he knew they could here the conversation through the phone but he didn't care he felt happier knowing that Lyra would be home soon.
Remus and everyone couldn't' help but smile when they saw Harry's face light up a little they were pleased that he was happy after everything he and Hermione have been through he deserves some happiness.
An hour later saw Hermione and Becky walking towards the hall for Hermione to finish her exam ''Well, i guess I'll see you in our rooms after the test''
''We could get some take out If you like, i can pop out and grab some food or we can order the Pizza on campus''
''Hmm what do you fancy?''
''I don't know, what about Chinese? I can nip out in about an hour and collect the food''
Hermione nodded ''Yes grab some Chinese, I'll have the chicken balls, chicken fried rice and chicken chow mien with a pot of curry sauce, We'll do what we did before you can have some Chicken balls and I'll pinch a bit of your curry and you can share some of my chew mien''
Becky nodded ''I'll order some Chilli shredded beef as well, as a can of sprite and Fanta''
''Yeah, sounds good go in about an hour you can always place a heating charm on it''
''Ok then I'll do that, now go I'll see you soon'' Becky gave a little wave and headed off towards the library while Hermione entered the hall.
Hermione smiled and felt refreshed she was looking forward to her takeaway now, she hadn't had Chinese for ages she smiled at the examiner and took her seat ready for her two hour long writing exam.
''You may start...now'' the woman said politely
Hermione picked up the quill and her eyes widened this was even harder than the first written exam she shook her head and focussed on her exam paper.
Hermione was half way through when she came across a question that confused her it took her a few minutes to figure it out and realise that it was a trick question so she wrote that it was a trick question and gave her reason as to why she thought it a trick one she felt her heart slow down a bit that last question had her panicking thinking she forgot something.
''You have ten more minutes my dear''
Hermione looked up once and nodded and looked back at the paper she didn't have that many questions left it would take her the full ten minutes to finish them, she could feel herself relaxing as she got closer and closer once she was down to the last two she smiled and filled them in before placing her quill down just as the buzzing sound went of signalling the end of the test.
''Leave the test on your desk, now I would like you to walk around there are ten cauldrons, you may smell, and move the rod to see the texture and once you know what it is you may write it down on the required sheet take as long as you like good luck''
Hermione smiled she walked over to the bench that had the potions lined up she picked up the parchment and quill when she reached the first one she smiled the first one was skellegrow, she walked along and noticed the second one as a contraception potion she walked on to the others, identifying Polly juice, pepper up, sickness potion, fever reducer, Veritaserum, Wolfs bane, nightshade which surprised her.
