Harry Potter The Kiss

Kevin was also aware a message was being sent; these people chose the wrong target and this Lord Gryffindor had the recourses and power to find them, interrogate, dispense justice and then place the evidence inside what should have been a secure room while he was sleeping.

The combined efforts of the British Government had drawn a blank but here they were served up on the proverbial platter without the bleeding heart lawyers trying to get them off for having a bad childhood.

His meeting this afternoon now took on a whole new dimension and Kevin wasn't sure how to play it, the thought of trying to lean on someone who could arrange all this in a few days filled him with trepidation.

Amanda Granger was in a daze having just spent the day in Diagon Alley choosing the most amazing gown she had ever seen, tomorrow she was attending the Christmas Eve Ball in the Ministry of Magic to see her son being presented with the Order of Merlin, First Class!

Her thigh was black and blue from where she kept pinching herself, Amanda just had to do it again as Harry and Hermione invited her for Christmas dinner in their castle, Hogwarts.

She looked at the young couple with the now familiar expression of someone who couldn't quite believe the effect these two young people had on their life.

Amanda heard the doorbell ringing and went to answer, as expected it was the police.

Kevin wasn't sure what to expect when he rang the bell but when Amanda introduced herself he was shocked, this was the grandmother?

When Kevin first met Harry and Hermione he was back to looking for those hidden cameras but somehow he could sense the power, even presence of these two so with the introductions over and everyone on first names he began.

"Could you please tell me what your impressions of the attack on your wedding are?"

Hermione answered, "I had just kissed my new husband and we turned to face the congregation when there was glass everywhere, we helped the injured before leaving for a private clinic that held three of the wedding party and my father, all have made a full recovery."

Kevin asked, "Could you supply the details of this clinic?"

When Harry answered Kevin could here the power in his voice, "sorry it's a private clinic and has no bearing on this investigation."

He then decided to provoke a response out of the couple, "they attacked your wedding injuring family and friends, what do you think of that?"

Every muscle in Harry's body seemed to tense and when he answered the tone of his voice woke a small primeval part of Kevin's brain that recognised he could be in serious trouble and for the second time that day his body had adrenalin pumping through it while his mind screamed 'stupid bloody question'

"My mother and father were murdered by a deranged terrorist who also gave me this" Harry lifted his hair to display the famous scar "now as an intelligent man I'm going to assume that you can answer your own question."

Kevin was bumbling some sort of an apology when the doorbell rang and Amanda returned with the last two people on earth he expected to see, his wife and young son.

Adding greatly to his confusion Gemma proceeded to plonk Kevin Jr. on his lap and embrace Harry and Hermione while kissing and crying at the same time, he looked at his son and those bright eyes were shining back at him from a face that was the picture of health.

This was astonishing as he'd been attending the hospital with serious Kidney problems and the doctors had been suggesting he might need a transplant, Kevin knew his wife would murder him if he swore in front of their child so his question was mentally modified three times before blurting out "would someone please tell me what the hell is going on here?"

Gemma gushed, "Harry and Hermione came to mum's and said they had a treatment that would help Kevin, I tried to contact you but they kept saying unreachable so I took the chance and doctor Abercrombie was wonderful, he said they could definitely cure him and his wife was so gentle coaxing Kevin to drink his medicine and within an hour he wanted out of bed to play, oh thank you so much"

As usual it was Hermione who filled in the blanks, "we own the private clinic and use alternative medicines, these contain all natural ingredients and have been handed down and refined for hundreds of years. We are currently working to have these medicines available to the general public but that may take some time meanwhile hundreds, if not thousands of children could die. That is not an acceptable option for us so the clinic will help as many as it can for now. It's named after Harry's mother and totally funded by the Potter family."

Harry continued, "The standard practice of our security advisers is to run a check on everyone we meet and discovering your son was ill we decided to help. You can hopefully see the need for the clinic to remain private otherwise we would be swamped and unable to treat anyone. This has nothing to do with your investigation as we help those who need it; Hermione calls it my saving people thing. We are not the bad guys here but please understand, family is everything to me, and like you I do absolutely anything to protect them."

Kevin was in a quandary, there was clearly more going on here than meets the eye but he'd just been given the most powerful 'back off' warning in the history of British policing. He tried to judge the enigma that were the Potters, on the one hand they definitely had secrets they wanted to remain secrets but on the other hand ridding the streets of terrorists and saving children not least his own were bloody powerful positives.

Shit! Easiest decision he ever made, hugging his son he shook their hand wishing them a Merry Christmas and with Gemma on his arm left their lives forever, he just hoped his staff had cleaned up as he didn't want to explain to his wife about the five heads that were on her spotless kitchen table.

Back in the cottage Harry gathered Hermione in his arms, "Mrs. Potter you little liar! When you said 'all natural ingredients' I nearly choked trying not to laugh"

Hermione smiled and gave her husband a kiss before pointing out that she had told the truth, the ingredients were perfectly natural to them.

Amanda watched this beautiful, confident young woman laughing and joking with her husband as her thoughts drifted to the bookish, bushy haired girl she'd seen at summer only one word came to mind, magic!
