Author's Note : Hullo all ya beautiful souls out there! So straight up I'm gonna say, as far as this novel is concerned, Harry Potter and The Cursed Child never happened. (No, please don't hate me for that) Hope y'all enjoy reading and if there's any character you think deserves a chapter that I miss out, let me know and I will be more than happy to write it.

Disclaimer: Thanks to JKR for her characters and world. You made me who I am!

Reviews make my day!

Dedicated to my favourite love story, Romione, this one's for you!

Chapter 1 - "This is Why I Fell in Love With You"

Ron, Hermione, Harry and Ginny were walking back from Kings Cross, free of their heavy trolleys at last, savouring the fresh autumn air, while Hugo and Lily trailed behind tearfully. All of them were feeling nostalgic, the same scene from twenty years ago, just parents instead of kids and and family instead of friends. Still, at least the dynamics between them hadn't changed. Ron was still funny, Hermione still smart and well, they were still kids deep down inside.

"I should take you for a ride sometime, Harry," said Ron, breaking the silence, a result of the nostalgia. "Now that I've got my driver's license. Just to relive old memories you know. Of our second year?"

"Of the time when we flew your dad's car to Hogwarts?" asked Harry, laughing. "I'd love to relive that except for the part where you're mum nearly killed us."

"And his wife nearly killed you guys." added Hermione with a pointed look at them.

Ron rolled his eyes."You could've been killed or worse, expelled," he said solemnly in his best Hermione voice.

"Wasn't that more like the first year Hermione?" asked Harry, giving her a sly smile. "We were a very good influence on her by our second year itself, really."

Hermione made a face and gave Ron a just-wait-until-we-get-home-I'll-kill-you-then look.

"Ron and I should get back," Hermione pointed out, checking Ron's watch. "But let's meet for dinner tomorrow. Say, eight thirty, our place?"

"No, ours." corrected Ginny. "It's going to be as empty as hell with those two devils gone."

Ron and Harry laughed but Hermione gave her a sympathetic look. "See you then sister-sister" said Ron clapping Ginny on the back. "I'll buy the Howler today", he whispered to Harry before Hermione dragged him off.

Hermione had evidently forgotten about killing Ron.

"Do you think she'll be okay?" she asked thoughtfully in the car while Hugo slept away the ride.

"Rose?", asked Ron, surprised . " Hell yes, she will! She inherited your brains for God's sake! Trust me, the worst thing to happen to her will be getting 9 out of 10 on a piece of homework."

Hermione punched him playfully. "Or she could get into a duel. Or she could get injured while playing Quidditch" she added worriedly.

"Jesus, Hermione!" exclaimed Ron. "She'll survive. And don't you dare insult Quiddtich. Hopefully she'll have inherited some of my excellent Keeper skills."

"Skills for getting fooled by fake Felix Felicis?", Hermione teased.

It was Ron's turn to punch Hermione.

"No but really Ron. Will she be okay?" Hermione looked at him pleadingly.

"Yes Hermy-own, she will. Are you worrying babe? Don't worry. I don't like it when you worry. Look on the bright side, she won't blow up a toilet seat or anything unlike this kid here." he said, sidelong-glancing at Hugo.

"Oh My God, don't tell me you and George gave him that idea. Where he gets these prankster genes from, I really don't know."

"It seems to run in the family." declared Ron after considering it a moment. "Charlie, Bill, Ginny; Fred and George just took up so much of it that there wasn't any left for me and Percy."

Hermione shook her head and laughed. "I must say, you're cringy sense of humor is annoying enough."

"Oh that reminds me!" said Ron. "Harry and I are going to send a Howler to Neville for a joke. He'll think it's his grandmother and freak out." He grinned stupidly.

Hermione rolled her eyes."Why you two can't leave well alone I really don't know, but tell me about it when you do it anyway," she grinned back.

"This is exactly why I fell in love with you." laughed Ron. "You kept telling us not to break rules but did it with us anyway. It didn't take us much hard work to influence you, did it?"

And in his eagerness to watch her smile at that he nearly drove into a tree.

"I'm seriously starting to doubt that you did confund the examiner,"Hermione stated suspiciously.

Ron only pretended not to hear and drove on. At least she had forgotten about the killing him-when-they-get-home part, he chuckled to himself.

A/N : Cheesy jokes are today's mood.
