Chapter 18: Trust and Turmoil
Hermione was just as powerful as Harry and nearly destroyed a building when she heard what Dumbledore had done, how the hell were you supposed to discipline the two most powerful teenagers in the world?
Then there was this marriage, the fact they adored each other and he liked Harry, so what to do?
When Harry made his 'destroy Britain' joke, Dan's mind screamed 'TMI' before joining Sirius in laughter.
Emma was left as the sole voice of parenthood but what could she do? It was an issue of trust and she had always trusted her daughter.
Her choice of young man couldn't be faulted as Harry had impressed the hell out of her, and impressing Emma Granger was not an easy thing to do.
She decided to cut them a break but not let them off the hook entirely, "Hermione Jane Potter, we will be having a talk and I would really like a look at the book Ragnok gave you when you've read it."
Hermione was smiling knowing her mum had deliberately said Potter to take any sting out of the remark.
Her parents were doing their best to cope with the situation and she loved them for it, "sure mum, next few days I promise."
She now had a butterbeer in her hand and looking around, everyone had drinks with her parents and Sirius had champagne, Dobby and Winky were holding glasses of pumpkin juice while Harry, like her had butterbeer.
Dobby raised his glass, "To the demise of darkness, the freedom of Sirius and the joining of the two finest people I know!" they all drank to that.
Harry thought, 'we really need to sit down with those two though I much prefer them this way'
'Its on my to do list love' answered Hermione.

Minerva McGonagall sat in the Hogwarts great hall looking around the tables wondering what else could happen today.
She knew her two favourite pupils were missing from her house table but others had also left the school as families were effected by grab arm and collapse disease, three teachers had been infected and taken to the infirmary.
She had just about got over the shock of one of them transforming into an already dead convicted death eater when Poppy reported that the three of them had just passed away.
Where the hell was Albus?
He had shot out the school as if his robes were on fire and hadn't been heard from since. Thankfully the damage to the castle was minimal and quickly repaired, although the potions department will require to be completely restocked.
She had allowed the Wizarding Wireless Network to be broadcast into the great hall, everyone was desperate for news.
Madam Bones announcement that Voldemort was finally gone created the loudest cheer ever heard at Hogwarts, revealing the identity of Lord and Lady Gryffindor was met with total silence as all heads turned towards the empty seats normally occupied by the couple before bedlam erupted.
Ron Weasley's temper seemed to know no bounds as he shouted at the top of his voice about them going behind his back.
Nobody could actually figure out where this sense of betrayal came from as the whole school had heard about their latest, and final falling out in the Gryffindor common room.
His young sister was crying uncontrollably while the twins offered comfort, though she was by no means the only witch crying at the news of Harry's marriage to Hermione she seemed the most distraught.
Minerva decided it was time to open that forty-year-old bottle of single malt; she needed a wee dram tonight!
....
Harry climbed into bed beside Hermione as she put the soul bond book down and cuddled into him.
"Hermione is this real? I keep expecting to wake up in the dorm and realise I'm late for double potions," he asked
"Harry, if I wake up in my dorm tomorrow then you are going to have one extremely pissed off witch to deal with!"
Hermione waved her hand and the lights went out.
