Harry Potter The Kiss

Hermione took over, "you are employed in the research and development branch of Stag Industries. A salary will be paid and a percentage of any commercial discoveries you make. Everyone here knows your dream but we think you will find this more enjoyable, if not you will have enough gold to make Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes a reality. We think you two are geniuses and are prepared to back it up with gold."

Everyone laughed as the red headed twins grabbed Hermione and spun her round, everyone except Harry who froze them in place before releasing his wife from their embrace.

He then released the twins and apologised, "sorry guys, Hermione is carrying triplets so no spinning, no throwing her into the air and absolutely NO pranks."

The overjoyed twins grabbed Harry, spun him round and just to show there were no hard feelings, they caught him after throwing the young wizard in the air.

They then proceeded to kiss Hermione's hand in an overdone show of chivalry that this time did had everyone laughing.

"If you two can constrain yourselves for a moment, we hope you will stay with the company where you could earn some serious gold and help us change the world at the same time. Give it a few years and you could open shops all over the world." Harry could see the excitement on the twin's faces; he knew the first invention from the dynamic duo would have them hooked.

Their dates were busy congratulating Hermione who promised them any help they could with whatever career the decided on. One word from Harry could get them a trial with just about any Quidditch team in the country. The difference with Harry was he would get them a trial, it was then up to the individual to be talented enough to make the team. He would never ask for someone to be employed if they weren't capable.

Martha Flint approached the Potters and asked for a word, "My Lord and Lady I would like to apologise for my behaviour…"

"Not necessary Mrs Flint, that was a very bad day for all of us" said Harry, stopping Martha in her tracks

"Well at least let me thank you for the treatment of my daughter, I've never seen her happier"

The young witch in question had a massive grin on her face as Blaise was currently whisking Angela round the dance floor. Crabbe and Goyle had also never been off the floor, behaving like perfect gentlemen they had danced with half the young witches in the room.

"She just got treated the same as everyone else, we heard from Narcissa about your idea and you have our full support," said Hermione

"Yes, there will shortly be a very large client base for a good restaurant but I would advise a few trips into the muggle world just to see what's on offer out there. It should serve different food from the Leakey Cauldron," advised Harry

Martha's head was spinning, not only had her idea been listened to but had just got the stamp of approval. She gushed out some form of thank you before finding a seat beside the punch bowl.

Narcissa appeared at her side and handed the shocked witch a brandy, "they really are quite a pair and I thought you would need this after speaking to them, I know I did."

Hermione informed Harry over the bond that she needed to get out of here, they said goodnight to a few people, checked that everything was ready for the influx of elves before retiring to the master suite.

Hermione couldn't have told anyone the first thing about their room as tears blinded her eyes. Harry helped her into the bathroom before carrying his distraught wife to bed.

She lay and sobbed into his shoulder for ages and they had to communicate by their bond, Hermione was incapable of speech.

'Oh Harry, why did they have to storm out like that? We never even got a chance to explain.'

"I don't know love, I haven't exactly got a lot of experience here'

Harry regretted it the second the thought was out as Hermione cried even harder. The big disadvantage with communicating through their bond was you didn't get that extra second to decide not to say something. As soon as you thought it, it was gone.

'Oh I'm sorry sweetheart, I know you're just as hurt as I am'

He just held his wife tighter, pouring all the love he had over their bond before she calmed down enough to speak, "Harry, I don't want to go to the ball tomorrow, I think we should just bring our plan forward."

"Are you sure love? What about mum and dad?" he asked gently

"I don't know Harry, at the moment the only thing I'm sure of is that I want you to hold me and never let go," so he did as his wife asked, eventually Hermione fell asleep crying in his arms.

At the Granger household the scene was being repeated with Dan comforting a crying Emma as she fell asleep in her husband's arms.
