Hermione finished the potatoes and started them boiling. When ready, they would be made into mashed potatoes. "So now we wait" said Harry. "My parents should be home soon. They usually get home within the next few minutes or so." "Great! I am looking forward to seeing them again." Hermione showed Harry her room while they waited on the food and her parents. Harry noted the shelves of books lining her room and smiled. Next, Hermione showed him the back garden and the swimming pool. They had just come back in to check on the food again when they heard the door to the garage open and Dan's voice as they came into the house. "That smells good. Hermione must have made us dinner, dear." "That was very nice of her" replied Emma. "Actually Mum and Dad, I had a lot of help" said Hermione as her parents stepped into the kitchen. "Harry!" exclaimed Emma who ran over and grabbed him up in a big hug. Hermione noticed that her mum hugged Harry first and not her own daughter.

If Hermione will start setting the table, I will mash up the potatoes and make sure the vegetables and chicken or on schedule." "I can help, Harry" offered Emma. "No, no Emma. You and Dan get comfortable, put away your stuff, change clothes, whatever you need to do, and then join us at the table in about 10 to 15 minutes." Harry bustled Dan and Emma out of the kitchen and then noticed a smiling Hermione. "Thank you Harry." "You are welcome Hermione. I love Dan and Emma and do not mind doing this for them. By the way, I love you too Sis." "I love you too, Harry" Hermione set the table and Harry mashed the potatoes. The chicken was done on time and the vegetables were perfect. The soup on the chicken served as a good gravy for the mashed potatoes. Harry also pulled out the wheat rolls he had put in the oven 10 minutes ago. Everything was ready so he brought it all to the table with a warming charm so none of it would get cold.
