Chapter 1: The Inspiration

Hermione Granger, or Mrs Weasley, if you please, threw her head on her desk. Being the manager for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures in the Ministry of Magic, she had a lot on her mind, and it wasn't just about the house elves, or any magical creature at all, it was about her daughter, Rose. Of course Rose has inherited Hermione's wonderful brains, no doubt about it, and you could tell Rose was Ron's daughter just by looking at that flaming red hair. She was only 5, but she knew the ways of a girl. Hermione nearly jumped when a sharp knock sounded. She straightened her suit and tried to look businesslike: "Come in."

Ron and Hermione slept side by side, listening to the sound of each other's breathing. "Something wrong?" Ron played with her hair. She sighed loudly and nodded, then lifted herself on one elbow: "It's Rose. I've been giving her math, English and some spells to practice. But all she wants to do is laze around and play. Ron, I know she's got the brains, she's just got your laziness! Now, she's giving me the silent treatment, and she's not talking to me, just cold and civil conversation, nothing like a mother and daughter relationship!"

"Now I know why Rose's been such a darling this week." Ron said thoughtfully.

"You see?! She's trying to get me to my wit's end so that I won't give her any work to do!"

Ron continued to gaze thoughtfully at the ceiling. Hermione sighed and lowered herself back onto her back.

"You think that you've been giving her too much work? Rosie's just a kid Hermione, just a bit lazy… Let's see, you're the mum who makes her work hard and you need to check whatever homework she has after she comes back from that muggle school, and I'm the dad who buys her toys and gives her a good time..."

Hermione's eyes flew open and they opened wide. In her excitement, she continuously slapped Ron's arm.

"Ron! Ron! You're a genius!"

Now it was Ron's turn to hoist himself up. "What notion have you got inside your head now?"

"Ron! We. Need. To. Switch. Our. Parenting. Styles!"
