It took all day and many breaks but Harry and Hermione told Dan and Emma everything that happened from their first year at Hogwarts up until they were hiding in the tent. Naturally they left out the part of them having sex. Hermione didn't think her parent's would be that upset since they were both adults and in adults bodies at the time. She also knew that her parent's would realise that they would have been officially together for a couple for years if it wasn't for other people interfering in their lives. After they finished their story they decided to have dinner before they discussed what they could do to change things for the better.
After eating and cleaning up they went back to the living room, 'Okay, let's start with something we can help with. The ritual and the bones he used. We can drive you to the Graveyard, wait until its dark then remove the bones,' Dan said.
'That would help dad, but we should remove the bones of all his family in case some of the others work.'
'It might have said bone of the father but it would be safer to get rid of all of them. They might change it to bone of the family or something. I used magic at the Dursley's, with my wand and no owls turned up.'
'I used mine as well and no owls arrived. I would say when the trace was lifted before we returned it never changed.'
'We can do a bit tonight just to make sure. I would hate to get caught while digging up Voldemort's family.'
'That's settled for the end of the year. Now we have to make sure you don't end up in that tournament where you face a dragon,' Emma said.
'We need to work on a way to uncover Crouch where someone like McGonagall will see him.'
'A switching spell and our own polyjuice. I can make the polyjuice to make him look like someone else.'
'It could be anyone but if we make him turn into someone McGonagall knows yet she would know it's not the real person that would work perfectly.'
'We can go with a student, we just need their hair.'
'We have time to work that out. Let's start with the stone. We know how to put Fluffy to sleep but the chess set will stop us.'
'Harry, we can just use a port key into the last room. You were there, you need to know where you're going so you can visualise the place when you're making the port key. Since only Dumbledore had been in every room then he wouldn't ward it against port keys.'
'He didn't ward the castle or the grounds against port keys, he said to me he should have thought of it before I was taken. He might have been manipulating me but he didn't want me to die that night. I don't think he did.'
'No, he didn't want you to die then, he wasn't ready for Voldemort's return. Okay, so we know how to get the stone, but what do we do about Quirrell? He's still going to be possessed by Voldemort.'
'I don't know, we have to think about that. If Voldemort doesn't leave Quirrell then things could change and we won't know how to change things so they are in our favour.'
'Then you still have to touch him, somehow.'
'Would it still work though? Right now I feel different, I don't have that weighty feeling or the twinges in my scar like I used to.'
'Okay, we won't know if you're still affected by being close to Voldemort until the welcoming feast. That was the first time you felt pain in your scar.'
'Okay, so for whatever reason that has changed and I don't have the pain which could mean the protection I got from my mother won't work. They said it would break when I turned seventeen.'
'True, but it could have been the potion which destroyed that connection. But about the protection, you're still your mother's son and she died protecting you, so you're still connected to her. Oh I don't know, this is magic that isn't easy to learn about. The magic of love.'
'Dumbledore said it will be love that destroys Voldemort. I'm full of love where Voldemort isn't even human, he doesn't even believe in love. So we hope I can still cause him pain by touching Quirrell but we make plans in case it doesn't work anymore.'
'These discussions are going to be intense especially over the next few weeks. Why don't you both relax for a while? Do something fun, like play a game, anything that is not about what you've done and need to do. Do that for a few hours then return to your discussion,' Emma said.
'I think that's a good idea, but first,' Harry looked between Hermione's parent's, 'we should also make sure that you two can protect yourself in case things change where you could end up in danger. If we have the cabinets then you can escape but if for any reason you're delayed or not able to get to the cabinets then you need a way to survive against magicals.'
'I could teach Emma how to shoot, then we just make sure we keep our guns with us.'
'You know, we could test guns against magical shields to see if they will work or not.' Hermione said.
'Shields stop spells but I doubt it would be able to stop a bullet. Also, they wouldn't know what a gun looked like so they won't think danger so they won't bother with a shield charm,' Harry said as his brow furrowed, 'Most of them are purebloods that know nothing of this world. The halfbloods that support him are like Snape, they grew up in the magical world not the muggle world. Voldemort knows the muggle world as he grew up in a muggle orphanage during world war two, I'm sure they kept the kids isolated so he might not know a lot. Then you have people like Malfoy and Bellatrix who wouldn't have a clue about this world.'
'Then mum and dad would need to get off a few quick shots before they could run to the cabinets.'
'Do port key's work on non-magicals?' Harry asked.
'I don't know, we can test that easy enough.'
'If it does then I think your parents should have an emergency port key on them at all time. But we need to make it password to activate since they don't have wands and we can't have them set for a specific time.'
'Maybe not just one word but a sentence, like what opens the map.'
'Perfect, and since I still have a copy of the map it could mean the twins won't get it. But we can check the twins stuff to see if they do have it. Since I have the cloak that the old man passed on, and I found another at the Dursley's, I'm not sure if Dumbledore still has one. This is confusing, there is supposed to be one cloak, not two or three.'
'We just have to see what happens. There was not a lot of information about time travel. Okay, we have our wands, we could go in…no, we don't, it would activate the trace.'
'Yes, we don't go to Ollivander's. Dumbledore only knew about the brother wands because Ollivander told him. I would rather keep that information a secret. We'll get books on wand making, it's just so if we're asked we can say we made ours. I know there are other wand makers, but we can't take the chance the trace would be activated on us again. So we either don't bother buying or making our wands, or we make one. Not sure we will have time and we would need to find the magical creatures to use their feathers or hair. Forget that, we'll just skip buying a wand. Okay, we have two invisibility cloaks, we can apparate and we learned to become animagus. Why don't we use it to sneak into the Burrow? Every Sunday Mrs. Weasley makes sure all of them sit down to have dinner together. We could use that time to sneak into the twins room. We can both change and sneak in that way or use a broom that way there's no apparition sound.'
'I know you two need to work this, but relax. You've got two months before you begin at Hogwarts. It's nine o'clock now and it's been a stressful day. You will both think easier if you can relax for a while. Grab a drink, go sit outside since it's a nice night. No talking about this, not until tomorrow,' Emma said.
'Mum's right, we need to calm down and relax. Let's just do that but we talk about other things, like the future. Or maybe we can even make some plans to make the holidays fun.'
'Can we visit a beach? I've never seen the ocean before, only that night with Dumbledore and it was too dark to see anything.'
'You two work on a few ideas that is fun to do. It's our holidays as well so going anywhere won't be a problem,' Dan said.
'Thanks,' Hermione and Harry said together then they held hands and headed outside.
'They need to relax for a bit, so we make sure that every evening they stop talking about their plans. We can go out to dinner one night, maybe go to a movie,' Emma said.
'Good idea darling, we can make sure they take a break even if it's for a few hours. I'm still surprised by all this but for some reason I have no trouble accepting this.'
'I feel the same Dan, we had no idea magic was real then we find out our daughter is a witch but she has returned from the future with her boyfriend. Do you think whatever sent them back affected us so we will believe them?'
'It might be Emma, somehow we know they were telling the truth and we know we have to help and support them. If there is someone that helped send them here then they would know that two eleven year olds will need help from some adults that will think of their safety first not any type of plan. They might look eleven but we also know they are actually adults. I doubt many parents would just accept that if they heard this story.'
'No, they wouldn't, so it's definitely fate or some type of higher power that helped us realise the truth,' Emma looked towards the back, Dan did the same thing. They knew all this was true and they knew Harry had saved Hermione's life even as a skinny eleven year old so they knew they could trust him with their daughter.
