Harry Potter and What Happened After - Sahits

"Oh," said Ron, "I guess that's good. Right?"
"Yes Mr. Weasley, it is indeed good." said Hermione's father from the couch. He turned to Hermione,
"Hello Hermione, would you care to explain why your mother and I have been living in Australia for
the past year?"
"Hi dad," said Hermione as she jumped up and rushed over to her father, "Hi mom," she squealed, "I've
missed the two of you so much!" She embraced both of them.
"I wish we could say the same about you, but quite honestly, we didn't remember you at all." said Mrs.
Granger, "As your father said, it would be nice to know why."
Hermione released them, and felt a tear streak down her cheek. "Ok," she said, going and sitting next to
Ron again. He took her hand, drawing an odd look from both of Hermione's parents.
"When you're done telling us why we've been here for the last year, you can explain that," said
Hermione's mother, pointing to the engagement ring on Hermione's left hand.
"Oh," gasped Hermione, "I almost forgot. Mum, Dad, this is Ronald Weasley, my fiancé." She saw Ron
turn bright red and she couldn't help but smile.
"Hi," said Ron softly, "nice to meet you." He stuck out his hand to Mr. Granger, who looked at if for a
second and then shook it tentatively.
"Alright dear, now tell us about this last year." said Mrs. Granger as she sat down next to her husband.
"The last things I remember, as a Granger, is picking you up from the school train. After that, all I can
remember is wanting to move to Australia, and then doing so."
"Oh, right." Hermione started from the beginning, telling her parents everything about the last year. She
told them how she had modified their memories to protect them, how she, Ron, and eleven other
members of the Order of The Phoenix had helped Harry leave his Aunt and Uncle's house. How Bill
and Fleur's wedding had been interrupted, how she Ron and Harry had been on the run for nearly a
year. She told them everything, from what Horocruxes were to Ron leaving, to him coming back. To
Ron shouting out her name while she was being tortured. She told them about the Battle of Hogwarts,
and all those who had died trying to defend the castle against Voldemort. She told them about the final
duel between Harry and Voldemort, and about what had happened in the last week.
Her parents sat silently through the whole thing. Her father stared at Ron the whole time, although he
did look at her in horror when he heard about her being tortured. Her mother had started crying as soon
as she heard about Mad Eye Moody being killed, and hadn't stopped.
Now both of her parents were staring at the two of them, her and Ron, intently, trying to comprehend
exactly what had happened. Hermione braced herself for the torrent of questions that was about to
come.
"So, Ron, you've been sleeping with our daughter for a week now?" asked her father.
This question surprised Hermione, "Dad!" she exclaimed, "What are you doing? Yes, Ron and I have
been sleeping together for about a week, but what does that have to do with anything?"
His attention still directed at Ron, as though he hadn't heard his daughter speak, Mr. Granger asked, "Is
she pregnant?"
Ron was dumb struck, he was completely silent for a few moments, and then he took a deep breath and
said, "No, your daughter and I have been using protection. I asked her to marry me because I love her,
and I want to spend the rest of my life with her." He said this in a squeaky voice, "I hope that you two
approve of this, for Hermione's sake, but if you don't, it won't effect how I feel about her in the
