The Weasly Reunion

Chapter One

Hermione Isabelle Granger sat in front of the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, the young ladies of the school standing in grass before her in neat rows. Her legs were crossed and her hands were clasped in her lap as she waited for the last girl to take her place. The twenty-one year old wore a light blue floaty gown that hit right above her knees, just like the uniform of the young women though her sleeves were short where hers were long. Her hair was pulled up in an elegant French twist, a few curls framing her face.

She rose from the ornately carved bench, smoothing the wrinkles out of her dress and delicately picked up a slender vine-wood wand. The heels of her silver, strappy sandals clicked on the walk which ran through the center of the courtyard as she went to stand among the girls.

The girls seemed surprised to see this young woman standing there with such confidence and sophistication when she was only a few years older than they were. She looked at the students and with an air of authority began a somewhat lengthy lecture.

"You may address me as Miss. Granger or, as we are in France, Mademoiselle Granger. I am representing the Apparition Test Center from Level Six of the Ministry of Magic and I will be instructing you in the art Apparition these next few weeks. I will not hesitate to inform you that Apparition is one of the most complex and precarious branches of magic. I absolutely refuse tolerate any sort of misconduct. If I so much as catch one of you looking in the wrong direction you will leave and be unable to continue your studies with me and your pupils at the present time. Whether you are ever allowed to take this class again is entirely up to me, so I suggest you don't risk misbehaving during my instruction. Do I make myself clear?"

She paused to look around at the students and nodded to the headmistress who was watching from a balcony of the palace. The girls spoke in unison, "Yes Mademoiselle Granger, we fully understand the rules and obligations of this course and are prepared to strive to pass." They had practiced saying this very thing earlier in the day with their headmistress.

Hermione smiled and gracefully waved her wand causing a hoop to appear before each girl. "Are there any questions? No? Excellent, we shall begin the three D's. I do hope you're listening because we will have a quiz at the end of class. It would tragic if you did not pass the quiz." She paused to let what she had said sink in then began speaking again. "Now, the first D is…"

Hermione took the paper from the last girl and with a quiet thank you she turned and walked back to her original place in front of the students. "You are dismissed, thank you for your attention. I expect to see you here tomorrow at promptly four." She watched as they re-entered the castle then she picked up her bag and disappeared with a loud crack.

She reappeared in the flat she was currently staying in and dropped her bag, stretching and beginning to take pins out of her hair. She sighed as it fell down past her shoulders and sat down to take her sandals off. She lied back on the bed and looked up at the ceiling. Soon she was drifting into a dream.

Hermione was on the couch at the Burrow, Crookshanks in her lap with Fred and George on either side of her. Bill, Ron and Ginny sat across from them, with a chess board floating in the air between. They were playing three on three, and Hermione and the twins were winning by a landside. George had grinned and began to direct his bishop to the King's square when Mrs. Weasly had called them for lunch. Ron had 'accidentally' tripped and knocked the chess board flying.

Fred, George and Hermione insisted he had done it because he didn't want to loose a chess game. It had gotten to the point where Mrs. Weasly had used a silencing spell on all of them and instructed them to eat and then clean up.

They had gotten their voices back that evening and Hermione had finally told them she was leaving too. She almost changed her mind when Ginny ran up the stairs in tears. Bill had gone after her and George and Ron had gone to try to console Mrs. Weasly. Hermione and Fred had been left alone.

A single tear had rolled down her cheek and she had found herself in his arms. She knew it had just been a brotherly gesture but she let herself think it was more. Standing there wrapped in his arms had made her heart flutter and her breath come faster. She was being pulled away, and her hand was reaching for him, then she woke up, surprised to find an actual tear on her face.
