Harry, Hermione and her parents were startled by the new presence, it was someone both Harry and Hermione knew, however, it wasn’t usual for them to speak with her, as for Hermione’s parents, they didn’t know what to think about this situation, they’ve witnessed how someone teleported inside their home without a problem and they couldn’t help but feel a little scared about it.

“Miss Greengrass…What do I owe the honor? Why aren’t you hiding with your parents in a safe place?” Asked the older wizard with a not-so-amused expression.

“Cut the bullshit, Harry…You know me very well and you know I hate being treated like a rich snob!” The blonde couldn’t help but say with a smirk.

Hermione was about to say something but the blonde cut her off.

“Yes, I’ve heard everything, I put a tracking charm on our older friend there when he rescued me and my parents,” the blonde said with a proud smirk.

Harry couldn’t help but facepalm, he was so busy taking care of the death eaters that he forgot how cunning the blonde was when she wanted to, but in the end, Harry could only smile amused at the blonde's antics.

“Wait…It makes sense that you two somehow know each other from the future but it doesn't make sense for you two to be amicable!” Hermione tried and failed miserably to hide her jealousy.

“Oh Granger, you truly don’t pay enough attention, right? Do you remember the whole fiasco with Harry’s book a few months ago?” Daphne asked and Hermione couldn’t help but stare at the floor with embarrassment.

“Janey? What’s wrong dear?” Asked Juliet, Hermione’s mother as she placed a hand on one of her daughter's shoulders.

“Well, Harry and I distanced each other because of a potions book with extra instructions, I was worried about his safety but he didn’t believe that, he thought I was jealous because he was getting better grades than me and…Well, yes, I was a bit jealous but I was more worried than jealous, that situation caused a rift between us,” the brown-haired witch said completely ashamed.

Her parents looked to be a bit disappointed in her for something like that but Harry decided to speak.

“Mr. And Mrs. Granger, don’t get angry at your daughter even if a little jealousy drove her to act like that, in the end, she was worried about me and I should’ve listened to her, I almost killed another wizard because of a spell I found in that book and even though I had the right to defend myself against someone like him and his death would’ve done more good than bad, I would’ve landed in jail and in the end, Voldemort would’ve won,” Harry said with an understanding tone as he placed a hand on Hermione’s free shoulder.

“During that time these two didn’t speak with each other, I started to talk with Harry, something I wanted to do for some time…I must admit that I did it for selfish reasons, I wanted to be his ally because I wanted to protect my family but in the end, it was an honest friendship…Until me and my family had to go into hiding,” the blonde said sadly.

“So that’s why you suddenly just disappeared!” Hermione said completely surprised.

“Yeah, we used the Fidelius charm to hide ourselves, but our secretkeeper betrayed us!” Daphne said with a disappointed tone. “That Zabini bitch sold us!” Daphne was so angry right now.

Harry quickly moved so he could embrace the blonde and soon, she started to sob in his arms, he was so strong and cool right now that she decided to allow herself to vent all the pent-up feelings.

“Luckily this big man arrived at the right time to save me and my family, they’re safe and they’re in another safe house with me as the secretkeeper,” Daphne sighed sadly.

“Why aren’t you with them?” Harry asked with a worried tone.

“Because I wanted to fight and vengeance so I couldn't stay with them, but my parents wanted the same thing too and supported my idea, they're planning on joining the battle too but for now they needed to do some planning,” this earned her a worried expression from the older wizard. “Don’t look at me like that, no, you don’t have the right to lecture me Mr. Harry-Danger-Loves-Me!” The blonde said with a stern tone.

He couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Don’t worry I have a portkey ready to take me where my parents are as soon as there's danger,” she said with a reassuring tone.

Hermione was glaring at the two, she was feeling something dreadful inside, jealousy, and she didn’t know if she felt like that because there was another woman who was so close to Harry or if it was because the younger version of her best friend could end with Daphne and not with her.

Harry suddenly stopped the embrace, there was something he needed to think about, he was moving around the room while everyone stared at him with interested expressions.

“Okay, this is what we’re going to do, first things first, Hermione, we need to get your parents in a safe place,” Harry said with a serious tone.

She nodded furiously and her parents were about to protest but Harry decided to speak again.

“Please, William, Juliet, I know you two are good people and that you would never betray Hermione but…The people that we’re dealing with won’t hesitate to kill you, they won’t even bother torturing you, we magical people have potions, spells, and even mind powers we can make use of when we want to get information out of people, trust me, they’re going to get the information so fast that I’m sure you’re going to be dead in less than five minutes once they get you,” Harry’s words were harsh.

Hermione’s parents gasped and they felt a bit offended for being reduced to nothing but nuisances, they tried to find solace in Hermione but the brown-haired witch didn’t say anything, she was actually nodding, she was agreeing with him.

“Father…Mother, please, I don’t want to worry about you guys while I’m helping my best friend defeat the people who want all of us dead,” Hermione said in a sad tone.

Her parents didn’t know how to feel, the last thing they wanted was to be baggage, so, in the end, they couldn’t help but sigh.

“So…What’s your plan?” Asked Hermione’s mother with a curious tone.

“Well, I was thinking of maybe taking you guys to a place you always wanted to visit, then you can get a house, once there I’m going to hide it using the Fidelius charm, only me and Hermione will know the location, that way no one is going to find you,” Harry assured the parents.

They remained in silence for a few moments as they discussed something and then, they nodded.

“Well there’s a place in Greece near the ocean where the houses are completely white, it’s a really beautiful place, to be honest, we've always wanted to visit it,” William Granger said with a small smile.

“Yes, we would love to hide there,” Juliet added with a knowing smirk.

“William, Juliet, I can assure you that you’re going to be safe and that I’m going to keep your daughter safe even if it costs me my life,” the older version of Hermione’s best friend said with a smirk.

“For how long do you think we’re going to be hiding?” Asked the father with a concerned expression.

“Well, if things go right I think it will be less than a month but I don’t want to waste time, the faster we get rid of that bastard, the faster we can have our normal lives back,” Harry said with a smirk.

Hermione and Daphne shared looks, they were surprised by his attitude and how motivated he was, after Dumbledore’s death it was easy to feel hopeless but right now, they couldn’t help but feel more convinced about their decision to fight against that monster.
