"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
