Harry Potter and What Happened After - Sahits

his hand, "But I'm glad you're coming with me."
He smiled at her and squeezed her hand, showing that he understood. "I'm glad I'm coming with you
also," he whispered, "and I'm glad I asked you to marry me. I'm glad you said yes, I'm glad the war is
over, and I'm glad we're going to be together forever." His smile broadened, and he reached for the cap,
"Hermione, you might want to take a hold," He said.
Hermione looked over at the hat, and realized that it was starting to glow blue. She put a hand on it and
turned back to Ron, "I love you," she said.
He smiled, "I love you too," and with that she felt a jerk behind her temple and she was thrown
forward. After a few seconds of swirling she felt herself land hard on her feet. She heard a loud thunk
next to her, indicating that Ron had arrived safely also.
As she stood up Hermione looked around, they had arrived in an apartment building that was nicely
decorated and softly lit. The door they had landed in front of was numbered as 45a. Hermione looked
over at Ron, who had one hand in his jacket pocket, clutching his wand; the other hand was holding the
hat.
She reached out her hand as Ron stuffed the hat in is pocket and took her hand in his. He nodded,
showing his support. Hermione turned towards the door and knocked.
About a minuet later a man opened the door; he was a few years under 50, his brown hair cut short. He
was wearing a pair of kaki pants and a white polo shirt. He was a little heavy set, his gut hanging a bit
over his belt. Hermione realized it was her father, and behind him in the small kitchen she could see her
mother in a white sun dress with flowers on it. Suddenly she wasn't able to move, she couldn't talk, and
all she could do was stare.
Ron obviously guessed this because he quickly released Hermione's hand and put his out, "Hi, I'm Ron,
this is my…fiancé, Hermione, we're thinking of moving into this building. We wanted to see an
apartment that was lived in. You know how it is, the people that are selling clean everything up and
make it look nice, you can't get a feel for a building unless you look in an apartment that's been lived
in."
Hermione's father looked at them for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "Come on in, it's always nice
to meet new people. I'm John, and this is my wife, Lisa" he pointed towards the kitchen.
Hermione's mother came out of the kitchen, "Hello," she said with a warm smile, "did I hear correctly
that you two are engaged?" she asked.
Hermione blushed, "Yeah, Ron and I just got engaged." She was a bit disappointed at first that her
parents didn't jump up and start congratulating them, but she quickly realized that these people, while
in her parents' bodies, weren't really her parents, at least not it spirit.
Hermione noticed her father looking at them with an odd expression on his face, almost as if he was
trying to remember a dream. "You two look really familiar," he said, "Especially you Ms., I'm sorry, I
never got your last names."
Hermione was silent for a second; she just stared at her father, a slight tear in her eye. She pulled out
her wand and pointed it at her father, "Cognitog" she said. The room was filled with a pure white light,
and when it cleared everything looked exactly like it had before, except that her mother and father both
had dazed expressions on their faces.
"What was that," asked Ron, as he stared at her parents, who were starting to come around.
"It clears the memory charms I put on them," said Hermione, "I made it so that their old selves were
blocked, not erased, all that did was clear the block. They'll remember everything about this last year."
