Laughing and pushing, Hermione, Harry, Ron and the twins, with Percy and Ginny following closely, walk up to their parents, surprised to see them in pleasant conversation with the Grangers. Hermione rushes up and hugs her parents, and Molly smiles fondly, saying to her family, "We've just been talking, and it seems that Hermione's parents are going to be on a 6 week working tour of Greenland and Iceland, teaching at the dental schools up there. So, while they are away, I've invited Hermione to stay with us."
