At 3 pm, Harry and Hermione were nervously sitting in the comfy armchairs that Dumbledore had conjured up for them. He peered at the two young wizards over the top of his half-moon glasses with gimlet eyes.
"Thank you for coming Harry, Miss Granger! Today, my main concern for discussion is your safety, at Hogwarts, in the Wizarding World, and in the Muggle World."
"As Harry has already discovered last summer much to his detriment, Miss Granger, in Britain the Ministry tracks the use of magic in the vicinity of young wizards. The Ministry achieves this by means of a spell called the Trace. It becomes active in all young wizards when they reach the age of 11, and it evaporates when they reach the age of majority, which for wizards is 17. Violation of the laws regarding the use of underage magic can potentially lead to expulsion from Hogwarts and the breaking of wands."
"This has now become a problematic situation for both of you. Miss Granger, I don't know what arrangements you have made with your parents, but it is clear that you will have grave difficulties finding a place in the muggle world. To say nothing of the wizard world, which is just as fraught with prejudice and cruelty. The obstacles and potential dangers you face may require you to use magic with some regularity."
"Harry, Lucius Malfoy made an attempt to attack you. It is possible that he, and others like him may try to do so again when you are not attending Hogwarts. Your mother's Enchantment will protect you from attack by all at #4 Privet Drive as long as you can call your Aunt's house your home."
"But be clear, it only protects you from being magically located by Voldemort and his minions. You will still be vulnerable to attacks if you run into the likes of Malfoy inadvertently when you are outside of your home."
"Also Harry, last summer, you were warned by the Ministry for an act of magic which you did not commit. Further warnings could lead to your expulsion from Hogwarts. This is untenable. You must be able to defend yourself from attacks, and also from legal actions against you."
"Therefore, I have obtained for both of you a special waiver from the Minister. The Trace has been lifted, and once removed, it cannot be replaced. Now in order to do that, an emancipation order must be filed for the youth in question. Which means, Miss Granger, that by wizard law, you are now of the age of majority, a legal adult."
Hermione gasped, and Dumbledore paused, giving her time for the information to sink in.
"Sir... does this mean that I am legally an adult too?" Harry asked in wonderment. With a sigh, Dumbledore responded.
"Yes and No Harry. Wizard law does indeed now recognise you as a legal adult. But the protection spell your mother placed on you remains in place until you are 17, or until you no longer call your aunt's residence your home, whichever comes first. This means you have to spend at least 7 days a year there. I implore you to continue to do so. As long as you do, Voldemort cannot find you through magical means, nor attack you in your Aunt's home. Once the 7 days is passed, you are free to travel wherever you wish without being tracked by Voldemort or anybody else for that matter-with the Trace removed as well."
Harry was flabbergasted. He wasn't even 13 yet. But now he had all the freedoms of an adult-at least after spending a week at the Dursleys'. Harry decided he could put up with 7 days of abuse at Vernon's hands if it meant that Voldemort couldn't track Harry down.
"Right then Professor," Harry began, his face breaking into a grin, "I'll agree to stay at least a week at my aunt's at the beginning of the summer. So that means I can go anywhere I want to afterwards?"
Professor Dumbledore nodded. His eyes sparkled in satisfaction. He had more to tell Harry, but that could wait until next weekend.

Hermione was a jumble of emotions. Shock and delight at being considered an adult in the wizard world, and at being able to perform magic outside of school perfectly legally. But horror and despair at being reminded that she still hadn't been able to bring herself to tell her parents about her furry little problem. Her parents would be expecting to see her at Easter, and she didn't know what to do.
Harry was determined to cheer Hermione up, and they still had the rest of Sunday afternoon to themselves.
"Come on Hermione. Let's go outside again for a bit."
"Alright Harry." replied a teary Hermione.
Harry stroked a furry ear, then he put his arm around Hermione and they made their way down to the lake again. They strolled through the woods on the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest. It was quiet and peaceful. Even the birds seemed to be whispering.
"Oh hello," said a girl's voice behind them, startling the pair.
Harry and Hermione turned around and spotted Padma and Parvati's blonde friend. She was wearing banana earrings today, and her big round dewy eyes were full of concern.
"Are you alright? Is someone being mean to you again?" The girl asked Hermione.
Hermione shook her head. She opened her mouth but no words came out. Harry just held her tightly.
"You're Parvati's friend aren't you? I don't think we've met." Harry said politely.
"I'm sorry." The girl blushed. "I'm Luna Lovegood. I thought you knew who I was but were just trying to avoid me like most people do. They call me Loony Lovegood usually"
Hermione stopped crying about her own problems and regarded Luna sympathetically. Harry frowned, wondering why so many wizards would treat each other so horribly just because they might be a bit different. He would have thought that wizards would be used to Different.
But so many wizards thought they were better than muggles and "half-bloods" and other magical beings. A lot of them-not just Slytherins-were just as bad as the Dursleys when it came to lashing out at anybody who wasn't thoroughly "normal."
"Oh, well I'm Hermione... Hermione Granger." Hermione wiped her tears with one hand, and smiled. "It's nice to meet you Luna. This is..."
"Harry Potter. Everybody knows Harry." Luna said evenly with a sweet smile, peering into his green eyes. "I'm really happy to meet you two finally. Parvati has told me so many good things about you both."
