Harry Potter : Flash Forward

Only a few short weeks later, the three were packed ready to leave on the Hogwarts Express for the Christmas break. They would be collected by the Greengrasses and apparated direct to Greengrass Farm.

When Hermione mentioned she didn't have most of her 'muggle' clothes with her, Daphne smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. We'll get you sorted, soon enough."

The ride back to London was ridden in a mostly empty Hogwarts Express. Most students, especially those in Fourth Year and up, were remaining in the castle to attend the Ball. This also meant they were not bothered during the trip back by either the two youngest Weasleys or Malfoy and his goon squad; all of whom were remaining at the castle, as much as they knew, for the entire Christmas break.

When they arrived at Kings Cross, Harry and the girls quickly alighted with their trunks and were greeted by the two Greengrass adults. "Good trip was it?" asked Deece.

"The quietest I've had," replied Harry.

"Good," said Matthias, before he changed the subject. "Now, we're heading back to the Farm by Floo." Looking at Harry and Hermione, he asked, "Have both of you travelled by Floo before?"

"Yes," they both replied.

"Excellent," replied Matthias.

The elder Greengrasses led the three down the length of the platform and beyond the barrier to the muggle side. Past the barrier they came across a set of fireplaces, all large enough for at least two people and a trunk.

Matthias went first with a muttered call of 'Greengrass Farm'. Then went Daphne, Hermione and Harry, with Deece bringing up the rear.

As with the last time he used the Floo, Harry exited with a skid across the floor as if the fireplace forcefully ejected him and his trunk. This led to laughter from Matthias, Daphne and Hermione before Deece calmly stepped through.

Seeing Harry sprawled on the floor, she smiled and said, "Ah! I see we have to teach you the proper way to exit a Floo."

Rolling over onto his back and sitting up, Harry angrily muttered, "It's now official; magical forms of transport hate me."

After a response of laughter and chuckling, Matthias helped Harry to his feet. "Don't worry about it, Harry," he said. "There's a knack to it. We'll just have to teach you."

After the five had rid themselves of the excess soot due to the Floo travel, Matthias led them through to the parlour. The first Harry learned a surprise awaited them was when Hermione let out a very un-Hermione-like squeal and dashed across the room. Her parents were just rising from a couch when Hermione almost knocked them both back onto it again.

Thankfully, for them both, Anthony had intercepted Hermione before she could knock her mother over, and roared with laughter.

With a grin and chuckle of her own, Celeste said to the elder Greengrasses, "As you can see, Hermione is a 'daddy's girl', through and through." Embarrassed for her reaction, Hermione stepped away from her father before turning to her mother and giving her a hug.

Stepping back, she said, "I didn't know you were coming. When did you organise this? How do you know Daphne's parents? Why didn't you let me know? How long..." She was interrupted by her mother raising a finger and placing it vertically over her daughter's lips in a 'shush' gesture.

Cele replied, "Give us a chance to explain and all your questions will be answered, alright?"

Blushing, Hermione only nodded.

Once everyone had sat down, in a tag team manner similar of many husbands and wives, Ant and Cele explained how they were contacted by Deece a couple of weeks earlier and invited to spend Christmas with them. The offer was extended because of the unique relationship between the three teens. They had arrived only the night before after Matthias and Deece side-along apparated them to Greengrass Farm, and were staying in one of the 'wing' houses off the main house. They would return to their own home the day the three teens returned to Hogwarts on the Express.

While they'd been talking, with Hermione asking further questions, Harry had been thinking. And, once the explanation seemed to have ended, he gave his throat a little clear and said, "Now that you're all here, together, neither set of parents need to worry about letting slip you know who our guardian angels are. All of you have met them."

"Really?" asked Cele. With a sigh, she said, "Thank the Lord for that!" "You've met them, too?" asked a surprised Deece.

"Yes," replied Ant. "When their school nurse... healer... brought the three of them to talk to us soon after the bond was formed, I leapt to conclusions and was in the process of losing my temper. Their three angels popped in and... told me off."

"That was almost the same as our meeting them," Matthias laughed. "I said to Harry how concerned I was about the bonds being a three-way bond and, just as I was about to put my foot in my own mouth about it, their angels popped in and assuaged my fears."

"Well," said Harry, speaking up. "Those here, plus Astoria, are the only ones who know about our guardian angels." "But, why did they appear?" asked Cele. "I mean, I take it this sort of thing is quite uncommon, even in the wizarding world?" "I've not heard of it before," replied Matthias before turning to his wife. "Deece?" Deece just shook her head and said, "No."

"I think our three kids might," said Cele, looking pointedly at where the three were sitting together on one of the couches.

"We do," sighed Harry. "But we cannot tell you. At least... not yet."

Daphne said, "It's not that we don't want to; we just can't."

"A magical vow?" asked Deece.

"No," replied Harry. "A... Heavenly imperative."

"They won't let you?" asked Ant.

"Yes," replied Hermione, first to answer. Almost begging them to understand, she said, "There is a very important reason for that. Part of it has to do with protecting the knowledge from Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor Snape. Our... angels... locked the knowledge a way to protect it from being discovered by others, especially those two."

"The information is protected from access from anyone, except ourselves, by any means including Legilimency, Veritaserum, oath or vow," continued Daphne.

"It's that dangerous?" asked Matthias.
