"Actually, I'd like to hear it," said Andromeda, "I've only heard parts of the story, <strong>and</strong> I wouldn't trust<br />

what was written up in the prophet."<br />

By now, everybody was listening. "Well, it started…" <strong>and</strong> Ron was off, telling the whole story of first<br />

year <strong>and</strong> how he, <strong>Harry</strong> <strong>and</strong> Hermione had gotten the stone, with occasional interjections by <strong>Harry</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />

Hermione.<br />

By the time dinner was over, an hour <strong>and</strong> half later, <strong>Harry</strong> was just finishing the story, telling<br />

everybody what had happened in the last room. "As I blacked out I heard a voice, Dumbledore. The<br />

next thing I remember was coming too in the hospital wing. Dumbledore was there, he told me that<br />

Voldemort had left Quirrell <strong>and</strong> that Quirrell had died. Then Hagrid came <strong>and</strong> gave me a photo album<br />

of my parents, <strong>and</strong> that's pretty much it."<br />

The table was silent, except for Teddy's soft cooing, "Well, that certainly fills in the gaps quite nicely,"<br />

said Andromeda.<br />

"Yes, it does," said Mrs. Granger, "Hermione never told us about the potions." Mrs. Granger was<br />

staring at her daughter.<br />

Hermione felt like she was getting smaller, sinking into her seat. Again, she was amazed at the fact that<br />

her parent's anger could scare her after what she had gone through in the fight against Voldemort.<br />

"Well, with all the excitement afterwards she probably forgot," said Ron, "I know I didn't like telling<br />

the story right after it happened, it was traumatic. I'm sure Hermione told you once, <strong>and</strong> told you fast,<br />

<strong>and</strong> then never mentioned it again." Ron hopped this would convince them, he didn't want to have<br />

Hermione's parents mad at her, not right now.<br />

"Well…" Mr. Granger didn't look completely convinced, "ok, that works for me." Luckily he left it at<br />

that. "How about that game of chess?" he asked.<br />

<strong>Harry</strong>, Ginny, <strong>and</strong> Mrs. Weasley all waved there w<strong>and</strong>s, sending the dishes flying into the kitchen to<br />

clean themselves. Then everybody crowded into the living room to watch Ron <strong>and</strong> Mr. Granger play<br />

chess.<br />

As <strong>Harry</strong> was settling down into one of the over stuffed chairs, Ginny plopping herself in his lap,<br />

Andromeda came up to him, a cranky Teddy in her arms, "I'm sorry <strong>Harry</strong>, Teddy is getting anxious I'm<br />

going to put him to bed <strong>and</strong> then I'm going to bed myself."<br />

"No need to apologize," said <strong>Harry</strong>, rubbing Teddy's head. "Good night."<br />

"Night Andromeda," said Mrs. Weasley.<br />

"Good night Molly, Author," said Andromeda nodding to each in turn.<br />

Mr. Weasley just nodded already engrossed in the Chess game that hadn't started yet.<br />

Once the game started everyone in the room fell silent, the only sound that could be heard was the<br />

clacking of chess pieces <strong>and</strong> the breathing of all 12 bodies sitting in comfortable chairs.<br />

<strong>After</strong> a while <strong>Harry</strong> looked at his watch, it had been nearly an hour since the game had started <strong>and</strong> there<br />

were very few pieces on the board. Ron seemed to be winning, that is if you went by points. The room<br />

was still quiet <strong>and</strong> except for Fleur, who had fallen asleep with her head on Bill's shoulder, everybody<br />

was still paying attention to the game with unfailing interest.<br />

Every once in a while Mr. Granger would mutter something like, "using the Kolinsky defense," or "ah,<br />

the Gorbotroph offense." At these times Ron would give him an oddly skeptical look, but Mr. Granger
