Harry Potter was nervous, he was on the Hogwarts Express, this was going to be the first Christmas he was going to spend outside of Hogwarts, he was surprised to know that Dumbledore was going to let him leave the school during the holidays, to be honest, the old wizard seems to be a bit lost lately.

However, that’s not why he’s so nervous, no matter if today is Christmas Eve and he’s going to spend it with people that care about him, no, today, an event that’s going to change his life forever is going to happen.

“Harry…Harry…Harry!” He suddenly got out of his thoughts, hearing the voice of his girlfriend.

“Oh, hey Mione, you look pretty this evening, well, you look pretty every day and—” He couldn’t continue as Hermione sealed his lips with one finger.

“Harry, calm down…You’re going to meet my parents, not going to war!” Hermione laughed at him.

However, Harry couldn’t find the situation funny, he has heard many stories about overprotective parents threatening their daughters’ boyfriends to treat them like queens or else they’re going to kill them, even as a wizard that’s something he didn’t want to face, after all, if he survived was because of his mom, so, parents have some interesting superpowers when it comes to protecting their children.

“Are you sure they should join us at Grimmauld Place tonight? I’m sure you and your family would love to celebrate with your extended family…” Harry tried to avoid this meeting at all costs.

“Nonsense, Harry, while I have nothing against my extended family, we don’t see each other often, they live on the other side of the country, so, it’s usually my parents and me celebrating,” she said in a calming tone.

Harry couldn’t help but sigh defeated, if this was his destiny then he was going to face it, for fuck’s sake, he has faced death eaters and turned them into squibs, it can’t be worse than that, right?

“Well, I have to leave you for a few moments. I’m going to finish the rounds, and then we can go together and meet my parents,” Hermione said before kissing one of his cheeks.

“Good luck, love,” Harry said with a weak smile.

Now he was alone, lost in his thoughts, and there was another thing worrying him. It seems like the death eaters are finally catching up with what is going on, they rarely come out anymore, he hasn’t heard about death eater raids recently and their only source of information Tonks hasn’t been seen in school recently, so, there’s no way they can get more information about the death eaters' movements.

“This year has been truly crazy,” Harry couldn’t help but sigh.

He didn’t want to feel like he had won, but at least, there’s some peace, he can finally sleep at night knowing he’s doing something positive for the world. But he also couldn’t help but think about the sacrifices, he saw someone peeking outside his compartment, it was Ron, Ginny, and the twins.

He couldn’t help but sigh, Ron was clearly still bitter that he’s now dating Hermione, and Ginny told Hermione once that she was a traitor. The twins could only smile sadly at Harry; they weren’t angry, but they had to side with their siblings.

“I guess blood is thicker, fuck…Tonight’s dinner is going to be awkward with them there,” Harry couldn’t help but sigh.

He didn’t know at which moment happened but he fell asleep but despite the consequences of their decision, he smiled, the future was looking bright to them as they’re planning to leave Hogwarts at the end of the year, they’re going to present their exams so they could go to college, maybe they could to Oxford, the MIT and Harvard sound good too, they have the funds thanks to his inheritance.

The moment finally came, he was suddenly woken up by his girlfriend and he knew it was time to finally face his fears he got ready and grabbed both his and Hermione’s luggage while she was hugging one of his arms, after coming out the express Hermione looked everywhere and then she greeted her parents from afar.

“I can see them!” Hermione said with a happy smile.

Despite his fears, he was glad to see her like that, and soon, the family reunited and hugged tightly. Harry was surprised to see that despite wearing glasses, Hermione’s father was lean, and Hermione’s mother was taller than the average woman.

“I’d like you to finally meet someone, my boyfriend,” Hermione suddenly grabbed Harry's hand.

“Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Granger, I’m Harry Potter and I’m—” he couldn’t continue.

“The man who has decided to die for taking our daughter from us!” The man said with a cold tone that made Harry sweat.

However, the tension didn’t last as the wife suddenly started to laugh, Hermione and her husband followed her then.

“I’m sorry, Harry…I don't mean to offend Janey, but with her love towards books, I’d never thought we would see a boyfriend that’s not a book!” The mother said with a chuckle. “I’m Juliet Granger. I’m sorry for pulling your leg,” she grabbed his hand and shared a handshake.

“It’s the tradition in the Granger family, Harry, I just hope that if one day you and Janey have a daughter, you'll do the same, okay?” The man was now being nice. “William Granger,” Harry shared a handshake with the man.

Suddenly, both Harry and Hermione blushed at the thought of starting their own family.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you both, now I can see why the woman I love is full of surprises,” Harry winked at Hermione, who was blushing furiously.

Far away, a redheaded man was looking at them with envy and anger, just like his sister, Ron, and Ginny Weasley were fuming, they'd been wanting to separate them since the start of the term, but they just couldn’t find a way.

Before Harry and the Grangers could continue their conversation, the group was joined by Arthur, Tonks, and Kingsley, who looked calm but cheerful at the same time.

“Hey everyone, we came to take you to our home,” Arthur said with a calm tone.

Soon, the newcomers introduced themselves to Hermione’s parents,  who were cheerful about it. This was their daughter’s world, and her friends, they were fearing that with their daughter spending more time with her people, they would drift apart, so, they were trying to get more involved in her life.

“Well, let’s get home,” Arthur said with a slight smile, and soon they were teleported outside Grimmauld Place using a portkey.

To say Hermione’s parents were startled was an understatement, but they were amazed at the same time.

“This is great, Janey…Do you think you can you can make a portkey for us? Imagine if we could work on our clinic, and after we can teleport to that beach house we've been thinking about buying?” Hermione’s father wondered with a smirk.

“I don’t know, the rules are kind of strict about muggles using magical devices, but I’ll see what I can do,” Hermione didn’t want to shut her parents' dreams down too quickly, so, she lied to them for now.

Soon, the door was opened, and there it was, the man Harry had been wanting to see since the start of the term, the letters weren’t enough.

“Sirius!” Harry said with a smile, and soon, they hugged and shared a handshake.

The older wizard was soon introduced to Hermione’s parents. Meanwhile, Harry and Hermione took the opportunity to enter the library together under the invisibility cloak, they had work to do.
