Harry sighed as he kept moving above Hermione who moaned his name in pleasure as they both hit their peaks at the same time. Harry collapsed on his wife who started caressing his hair with her hand as the other kept him wrapped in her embrace.

Harry closed his eyes and inhaled in his wife’s familiar sense as their bond was full of pleasurable thoughts. The idea of Hermione gone a few hours prior made Harry’s heart ache and his hands held her even closer to him. Hermione kept stroking his head as she heard his thoughts through the bond.

‘I’m not going anywhere, I may be tired right now and Luna is going to drive me mad with all the potions she and Fleur have probably got ready for me, but I’m not going anywhere.’ Hermione said quietly and Harry kissed the valley between her bossoms before he could raise his head and look at the warm eyes of his wife. He could only thank whoever was up in the skies for having those eyes looking at him with love after what happened.

‘They so have the right, and your husband’s permission to give you whatever potion needed.’ Harry started and Hermione pinched his shoulder.

‘They have my permission Mr. Potter, we don’t need yours.’ Hermione said and Harry grinned teasingly before he spoke.

‘You’re tired but still, you demanded from me to perform my marital duties… I think you hardly need any potion,’ Harry said and Hermione grinned back at him, even thought weaker than she would normally.

‘You thought you’d get away just because I knocked on heaven’s door?’ Hermione asked and Harry sobered and kissed her lips lightly.

‘Of course not,’ Harry said seriously and Hermione smiled at him, the pair sharing the moment of understanding even without the bond.

‘I love you,’ they said in unison after the moment passed and they kissed again with love and need, both knowing they got really close and an extremely weak Hermione was a small price to pay compared to what could have happened.

‘You’re going to take all the potions, OK?’ Harry asked seriously and Hermione nodded her head with a sight as she like Harry never liked to be treated like a child but right that moment, she needed to be strong.

‘I promise,’ Hermione said and Harry smiled and nodded his head before he could kiss her. Their kiss was interrupted by a knock on the door. Harry rolled off his wife and they both put their clothes on before they could allow Luna to enter the room. She opened the door magically and smiled at them as she held Jane in her hands as a tray full of food was moving by her side, behind her, Ron was following with little Lilly hugged to his waist and little Jamie on his back, Ron looked just like the kids had been using him as a carrier for the entire morning.

As the Weasleys got inside the room with the little Potters, the kids left their aunt and uncle and rushed close to their parents. Lilly was the first to fall in her mother’s arms, Hermione wrapped her child in a tight hug and kissed her cheek many times as James did the same with Harry. Luna moved closer and gave Jane to Hermione who, with tears in her eyes, kissed her baby’s cheek.

‘Look how much you’ve grown up, Jane,’ Hermione said quietly and smiled as she hugged her only son the moment Harry hugged Lilly and smiled at Hermione and Jane. Luna let the tray on Hermione’s nightstand and with Ron excused themselves as Jane and Edward Granger entered the room and rushed close to their daughter with Jane hugging tightly her only child and Edward having his turn.

‘When I saw you carrying her yesterday I thought she was gone,’ Jane whispered with tears in her eyes as she hugged Harry who hugged his mother-in-law back, he really had missed Hermione’s parents and his mother-in-law’s warm hugs.

The Grangers soon left their daughter, son-in-law and grandkids so the Potters could spend some time together, Lilly just wouldn’t leave her mom’s arms and she was even holding Jane as to claim her mom’s hug as James was squealing and screaming in his father’s tickling fingers.

‘So were you good kids? Did you behave yourselves?’ Hermione asked and Lilly grinned and winked at James who giggled.

‘We were really good, uncle George said we are the best to have the Map, but I don’t know what he means,’ Lilly said honestly and her beautiful, green eyes sparkled as she looked at her mom who looked a bit afraid.

‘Oh, so you were that good….’ Harry said pointedly at Hermione who smiled and kissed the crown of Lilly’s head.

‘How was everyone around here?’ Hermione asked and Lilly sighed dramatically, her mood changing rapidly.

‘Most people are afraid, and many times we were afraid too, auntie Ginny and nana Narcissa are always sad, and the aunt’s girls are also sad, I think it’s because uncle Draco is not around… and the others are sad too, aunt Luna sometimes cries alone in the kitchen or in the garden, and nana Molly is very sad and always wears black clothes, and we miss grandpa Arthur, he was so sweet and good and smiley,’ Lilly said and sighed again, earning a tearful kiss from Hermione. Of course things wouldn’t be bright back at home, they were in the middle of the war and Arthur was gone, just like Draco was for that moment.

‘But uncle Ron said, that we need to smile, because it helps, and he said to believe in you, daddy and in you, mommy, because, he said, you’re both mental and always pulled through.’ Lilly said and Hermione chuckled sadly and kissed her daughter again.

‘Uncle Ron is right sweetie, he’s absolutely right.’ Hermione said as she looked at Harry who nodded his head and smiled at his eldest daughter.

‘My birthday is in a couple of days, did you decide? I want another little sister,’ Lilly said and Hermione sighed and kissed her first child’s curly hair.

‘Well, right now, sweetie, this is not the best time for another baby,’ Harry said as to rescue his wife from talking about this painful subject. ‘But we will give you more siblings when things will be a little more bright, when uncle Draco will be back at his home with aunt Ginny and when everyone else will be safe to be back at their own homes too. You’re a big girl Lilly, and I’m sure you understand.’ Harry said honestly and his girl smiled and nodded her head as she looked at Jane who was chewing her finger.

‘However, since you’re a big, responsible girl, daddy and I are more than happy to buy a beautiful kitten for you, if you think you can take care of it, of course Crookshanks is too old and deserves some rest and you will be able to take your kitty with you, when you will go at Hogwarts.’ Hermione said smiling and Harry felt flickers of joy at her planning for the future, when all these troubles will be over and behind them.

Lilly’s eyes shone at her mom’s words and squealed in joy as she hugged her mom with one hand as Hermione took Jane in her own one-armed hug.

‘I want a pet too, daddy,’ James complained and Harry smiled and kissed his son’s raven mop of hair.

‘Well you, like a big boy you are, you can have my own owl, Prongs loves you after all, and when you will be a bit older, you can have your own, how that sounds?’ Harry asked and James considered his dad’s words before he could nod his head and give a toothy grin.

The lunch that day in Grimmauld was the happiest in a long time as everyone was happy to have the Potters back home and the Order would have its meeting with its Keeper and Leader there. Everyone wished the best for Hermione and her recovery and Harry was only glad to hold her in his arms as they took their lunch. Molly, even in her grief, made a great meal for everyone who thanked her and drank in the Potter’s return and Hermione’s health.

When the meal was over the meeting of the Order took place and Harry and Hermione had the chance to learn about everything that had happened and they also explained what they had been up to during the hunt. When they were done and everyone was leaving the kitchen, Ginny moved closer to the couple as Harry was urging Hermione to drink a potion Luna had gave her. Hermione emptied the small vial with a face of disgust and slapped Harry’s arm as he was grinning at her face when Ginny moved closer to them. They both sobered before the fragile picture of the once brave redhead.

‘Can you please tell me if you have news about Draco? You said just a little in the meeting and I was wondering if there was something more.’ Harry was ready to speak and tell her that there was nothing important but he stopped when Hermione took her wand from its holder around her thigh beneath her robes and touched her temple with its tip, soon a thick, silver thread was formed, Hermione had her eyes closed and Harry could feel her memory of Bellatrix using Draco’s wand leaving Hermione’s mind and their bond as Hermione took her wand away and with it the silver thread, Hermione dropped the memory in the empty from the potion vial and gave it to Ginny whose trebling hand took the small object.

‘We have a pensive in the library, it’s not much but you can see it and decide what is going on with your husband, Gin, we really can’t tell if he’s OK or not but we can only promise that we’ll try to find him,’ Hermione said honestly and the redhead Malfoy nodded her head with her eyes filling with tears.

‘I have lost my father and my husband in less than three months, I just need you to fight that bitch that tried to kill me and tortured you, Hermione, I need you to find my husband, my daughters’ father.’ Ginny said and Harry sighed at the broken voice he heard, he only nodded just like Hermione did before Ginny could leave the room with the memory in her hands. Hermione sighed and hugged Harry, putting her head under his chin as he hugged her back and kissed her head.

‘I can’t imagine how hard it would be without you,’ Hermione said and Harry sighed and kissed her head again before she could move her head and kiss his lips.

‘I love you very much, Mione,’ Harry could only whisper, he wasn’t good with words so he decided to simply tell her the truth in his own way. Hermione smiled and kissed his lips once again.

‘Oh Harry, I love you too,’ she said emotionally when the kiss was over and the couple remained hugged until Prongs entered the room and flew close to them with an envelope in his bill. The bird dropped the letter and Harry caught it easily, he opened the envelope and started reading the letter.

Potters

I know you had been away for a long time as I couldn’t reach you via the floo and the owl but I demand to see you tomorrow at my office at 10 o’clock. The situation has become complicated and I believe you’re ready to come back in action after Mr. Potter’s outraging behavior at the hospital.

Minister Anderson

Hermione had heard mentally what the letter was about as Harry read it and the couple looked at each other when harry destroyed the envelope in his fist.

‘He’s desperate to have us back,’ Hermione said.

‘Maybe we have more attacks ever since we escaped from the cave, maybe there are missions that have been hidden from the ministry.’ Harry went on.

‘The question is, he needs us there for the end of all this? Or he wants us there as to be the mascots of his circus?’ Hermione wondered and Harry rubbed the bridge of his nose, trying to short things out. Hermione was still under recovery and the last thing he needed was to show up in the ministry and be under attack from spies or even Anderson himself. He hadn’t seen the scum for a long time and he didn’t know what was going on there, he hadn’t even talked with Kingsley and after so many weeks of absence in the Hunt, he didn’t know if Anderson was still the same useless excuse of a minister or a powerful tool of Belatrix’s under an Imperious.

‘Look, we’ll go there, and if he is under some spell, we can make it,’ Hermione said soothingly as she had heard all his worries. ‘As for me, please Harry, don’t do this, I’m fine, I have been stabbed, hexed, tortured and only when I was a teenager, I’m a trained auror, capable of a lot of things, so don’t do this.’ She went on and Harry sighed and hugged her close to him.

‘I don’t want you to be in any danger, not because of me,’ Harry said quietly and felt his wife, sighing.

‘It’s not because of you, it’s because of my choices, ok? I chose to be with you and want it or not, Mr. Potter, I’m not changing my mind after so many years of happiness and marriage just because Bellatrix bloody Lestrange is back.’ Hermione replied and Harry smiled slightly and kissed the side of her head before he could pull away slightly and kiss her lips.

‘Then we need to be there tomorrow,’ Harry said and Hermione smiled brightly and nodded.

The next morning was a time both Potters dreaded as it had been less than forty-eight hours since they were back and they needed to leave the house again, of course something like that was unacceptable from their daughter who had been crying for the past forty five minutes and the Potters were needed to leave in less than five as to meet with the Minister.

‘Sweetie, please, it will be just a couple of hours.’ Harry pleaded as Lilly kept crying with sobs and gasps. Hermione was less patient with her daughter as she was pacing up and down before her husband and child. They both knew all this was for the show but they also knew their daughter was afraid of losing them and she had some darn good reasons for it. ‘Come on honey,’ Harry pleaded again as Lily clang on his auror robes. Hermione sighed once again and finally knelt before her husband and daughter.

‘OK, Lillian, look at me, please,’ Hermione said sternly and Harry looked at his wife pleading, the last thing Lilly needed was a lecture from her mom, Hermione returned a reassuring look at her husband. ‘Sweetie, look at mommy,’ Hermione said again and Lilly glanced at her mom who took her wand out of her pocket. ‘Instead of a cat, I can give you something else, something magical...’ Hermione said and that intrigued her daughter even more who now looked at Hermione with her full attention and her sobs dying down.

Hermione smiled at her child and waved her wand in a complicated move, a bowl was conjured on her palm and then she waved once again and fresh water appeared in it, Harry watched with interest as Hermione performed the magic, wondering what she wanted to do. After that, Hermione conjured a rose and gave the bowl with the water to her daughter’s little hands. Lilly took the bowl and looked at her mom. Hermione grinned and cut two petals from the rose, Harry looked touched at his wife as he knew what she was doing. Being linked with a bond like theirs allowed you to know about things even if you weren’t there when they had taken place…

Hermione smiled at her husband before she could wave her wand at the petals and then let them fall on the water of the bowl, for a moment the couple and the symbol of their love watched the petals on the surface and then slowly sinking, right before they could reach the bottom the two petals transformed into two beautiful, trimmed fishes that moved around the bowl. Lilly’s eyes widened and then softened as she looked at her mom. Hermione smiled sweetly at her child and then warmly at her husband who was looking back at her with adoration. Hermione had performed the spell Lily Potter had once performed for professor Slughorn.

‘The fishes will be here for you, as long as both mommy and daddy are fine, so if you want to know that we’ll always come back, both of us come back, you can simply look at the little fishes. And I promise you, honey, we’ll return, just like we did before.’ Hermione said softly at her child who was looking at the little fishes. Lily eventually looked at her parents and nodded her head.

‘I love you both, mommy, daddy.’ Lilly said and both her parents hugged and kissed their daughter.

The couple came out of the fireplace proud and stern as the numerous photographers started taking pictures and as many reporters tried to ask them things about Arthur’s murder, their absence from the Wizarding world for the past weeks and what was going on between them and the Minister.

Harry and Hermione moved through the crowd of people and tried to reach the elevators, at that moment; Kingsley showed up and greeted them.

‘He needs to see me too, so lets go together,’ He said close to the Potters’ faces as to be heard above the crowd of reporters who were asking ignored questions. The couple nodded and the three moved together in the elevators. When the elevator finally started the Potters sighed in relief as the voices from the atrium came to a minimum.

‘So, any clue why he wants us back?’ Harry asked Kingsley who shrugged.

‘I really don’t know Harry, he hadn’t shown any sign of wanting you back but things have happened the past hours so I think he was made to have you back by the people in the council.’ Kingsley said and the couple nodded as Hermione was right about hidden attacks.

‘There were attacks?’ Harry asked boldly as it was just them in the elevator. Kingsley simply nodded his head and Harry and Hermione sighed.

When the Potters and Kingsley knocked on the door of the office, it opened on its own, both Harry and Hermione saw the minister like they had never seen him before, his once fake, annoying stern posture was now replaced with a crawling of the back and a tired if not defeated expression on his face.

‘First the Potters, come in,’ He said from his chair as he didn’t even bother to stand up as to greet them in his office in some way. Both Harry and Hermione entered the office with stiff postures and their right hands on their wandpockets.

‘Sit down, please,’ the minister said and the pair obeyed, Harry helped Hermione before he could sit down as well, Hermione crossed her legs and looked at her husband who nodded his head as he sat calmed on his seat. The couple looked confident and comfortable instead of the minister who looked tired and defeated.

‘There were more attacks,’ the minister started and tried to move closer to his desk and the Potters looked the exhausted man trying to remain on his “throne”, at least Funge was keeping up the pretences. Anderson seemed broken. ‘There were more attacks and none of the people in here know what or who may cause all these problems…’ Anderson went on and looked at the Potters with a mix of accuse and need in his eyes. ‘I believe you do know about those attacks, some people in here, your friend Kingsley included believe that the Balkan case has to do with this, and you were in the Balkan case. I think Malfoy also knew things but never spoke a word to anyone, but based on your history, I believe he had spoken the truth to you.’

‘If he had spoken the truth he would have been dead by the spells binding him, instead of dead, he’s missing because the ministry failed once again to protect its own people.’ Harry spat and Hermione sent a warning though through the bond, so far things were going smoothly comparing to what could have happened. It was no need of them to be kicked out of the ministry once again no matter how right they were. Anderson glared at Harry for a moment but then sighed and nodded his head as his hand ran in his weak hair.

‘Bellatrix Lestrange is the threat, this time, it sounds impossible but this is the truth, she had made Horcruxes like Voldemort, believe it or not, we have faced her twice already.’ Hermione said calmly and caused both Harry and Anderson to look at her. Harry knew they were there to be clean with the minister but even like that he didn’t expect to hear his wife so calmed and composed just a couple of days after her near-death experience. Anderson had shot up from his chair and was looking at Hermione with wild eyes, he seemed like he waited for her to withdrew her words or to finally chuckle and claim that she was lying but the Potters remained silent and let the man before them to realize just in how hot much hot water they were all in.

After a few moments of unbearable silence, Anderson collapsed back in his chair and glared at the married couple before him, the people he once wished to vanish from the Community, the people that now had the upper hand in a situation that seemed alien to him: fighting bravely in a war.

‘Even if you have a temper, you don’t follow the rules, you keep secrets, you try to do things on your own and you think you’re the next couple of ministers, I have no other choice but to have you back in action… you’re the only ones knowing everything about the Balkan case and you’re the only ones capable to get us all though this.’ Anderson said and Harry bit his tongue as not to speak but this time Hermione spoke.

‘Even if you have been trying to keep us away from the ministry for a long time, even if you tried to cover the truth and banished us from our jobs just because we know how to do it properly, even if you’re so afraid of us about doing something that we have no interest in, even if your ego is so much that has been endangering the Community for so long, even if you’re responsible for Draco Malfoy’s possible death, Minister Anderson, we accept to return in action.’ Hermione said and Harry felt proud for her calmed voice and almost sweet smile with just an edge that made anyone in her wake to shiver on their shoes.

‘When you’ll get us out of this situation, I will make sure to have you both suspended, legally suspended this time, and then you’ll understand why I’m still the minister.’ Anderson said as the Potters stood up and Hermione shook the minister’s hand fist, totally unfazed by his threat.

‘When we’ll get us out of all this situation, we’ll both make sure to have you out of this office and help someone capable to get the job, someone like Kingsley, until that time comes, you’re depended on us as to save your ass and we’re depended to you as to save Malfoy and the Community you jeopardized.’ Harry said as he shook firmly the minister’s hand, Anderson glared at the Potters as Hermione smiled sweetly at him and moved close to the door. Harry followed his wife and opened the door of the minister’s office so she could leave first, after a last glare at the man responsible for all this silence about the problems with Bellatrix that all of them were in, Harry Potter left the office, following his wife with the back of his black auror uniform waving.
