"How dare you erase our memories!" Jean shouted at her. Hermione was wedged between Draco and Theo on the couch, all three of them blinking up silently at her parents who'd been reaming them out for almost half an hour.

"Of all the irresponsible choices to make, we spent two years knowing something was missing, you have no idea what you put your mother through!" Richard said. "I thought we raised you better than this. Taking away our autonomy!"

"Let's not even get started on you getting married!" Jean continued, "You're not even twenty years old! You haven't gone to University yet."

"And you're pregnant!" Richard said, gesticulating wildly. "Didn't your fathers ever teach you to use protection?" he added glaring at Theo and Draco.

"Er-" Draco started.

"I don't need to hear anything from you," Jean said, holding up her hand. "We've always been supportive, but we thought this," she gestured between the three of them, "was a phase!"

"You've turned our daughter into some sort of broodmare and now you expect us to be grateful?" Richard added.

"That's quite enough," Theo said coldly. "You will not speak about our wife like that. You're welcome to be upset about our decision to erase your memories, you're welcome to be upset about lost time, we welcome you to have feelings about missing our wedding, but I will not stand with you disparaging her name or reputation."

Draco cleared his throat, "In the Wizarding World being a Triad is looked upon very favourably. I know that Hermione shared the documentation with you. I think it's in the best interest of all four of us to let you two calm down. My mother has offered to answer any questions at your leisure."

"You're welcome to stay in our home, as our guests," Theo said, stiffly, "or you can return to Headquarters-"

"We'll be going home," Richard said, crossing his arms.

"As Kingsley and Bill have already informed you," Theo continued, "until the war is done that is not possible. I recommend staying with us so that you can be closer to your daughter, sons-in-law, and future grandson, but I can't stop you if you'd rather go to Headquarters. We've assigned Han to be your elf. You're welcome to call him at any time and he will assist in anything you need."

Han appeared next to them, causing both Grangers to jump, "Oh Han is being quite honoured to be serving the parents of our dear Mistress! You be letting me know if you be needing anything. All you have to be doing is saying Han's name!"

"That's not-" Jean started.

"It is," Hermione said, dully, "just let him help you. I promise he's being well compensated and he's quite helpful."

Jean crossed her arms and her mouth pinched into a tight line. "I suppose we'll stay here, I have no idea what kind of people are at this Headquarters. At least we know the type of betrayal you're capable of."

"Show us to our room, Han," Richard said, tiredly. The Doctors Granger followed the cheery elf out of the room towards their assigned suite of rooms without further comment.

"Well that didn't go so well…" Theo said, trying to lighten the mood.

Hermione just stood and wandered towards their bedroom, shedding clothing, and pulling a large Granger Family Dentistry shirt over her stomach, and crawled into bed. Once she was ensconced, she let the tears she'd been holding all day fall. Moments later, Draco and Theo joined her, wrapping their arms around her and holding her close.
