"Dad, come on! We're going to be late if you're not ready!" Rose cried as she pushed at her dad's shoulders.

Ron slumped on the chair, putting on a hurt look and trying hard not to grin.

"Why would I hurry when my baby girl is leaving me?" Ron whined.

"I'm not leaving you forever daddy, I'm just going to school." Rose replied giving Ron a look "That is if you're ever getting off of this chair!" Rose muttered with a groan.

"Ron what are you doing? Get up this instant." Hermione said as she walked into the living room and caught sight of her husband.

"Can't, my legs are broken." Ron replied with a sigh.

Hermione sighed and rolled her eyes, and was about to say something when Hugo appeared by her side.

"Has anyone seen my right shoe?" he asked.

"Your right shoe? No, I haven't." Hermione answered.

Hugo slumped in disappointment. "I can't find it anywhere."

"Did you check under your bed?" Hermione asked.

Hugo's eyes lit up. "No I didn't! I'll go look right now!"

Hugo ran upstairs to find his shoe and Hermione turned back towards Ron and Rose.

"Daddy please get up, we need to go!" Rose pleaded, giving him her best puppy dog look.

"Alright fine, since you're so excited to leave me." Ron said with an exaggerated sigh.

"I'm not excited to leave you daddy, I'm excited to learn new things and make new friends. I'll miss you." Rose said softly, gripping her left arm.

"I'll miss you too Rosie. I want you to learn and make new friends; it's just hard for me. You've never been away from me as long as you will be. I don't know what I'll do without you." Ron said.

"Oh Ron," Hermione said at the same time Rose said "Oh daddy".

Rose sat on Ron's lap and they hugged.

"Make sure that you write to me every day, alright Rosie?" Ron said as he squeezed Rose as tightly as he could.

"Daddy, can't breathe." Rose gasped.

"Sorry sweetie," Ron replied, reluctantly letting her go.

Hermione turned around as she heard footsteps coming from the stairs.

"I still can't find my shoe," Hugo said despondently.

"I'll help you look for it then," Hermione replied. She turned to follow Hugo upstairs when Ron stopped her.

"What are you doing? Are you a witch or aren't you?" Ron asked, causing Hermione to blush.

"Accio Hugo's right shoe!" Ron said.

Hugo's right shoe flew from underneath the couch, and Ron caught it triumphantly.

Rose turned to look at her brother, an eyebrow raised at him.

"Why was your shoe under the couch?" She asked.

Hugo frowned thoughtfully, until a look of recollection hit him.

"Oh! I remember now, I had placed my shoes by the couch when I was watching a movie last night, it must have slipped under there."

Hermione and Rose sighed at the same time.

"I swear, you'd lose your head if it wasn't attached," Rose told him.

"Alright, we've got to get going! Hugo put your shoe on, Rose get your things, Ron get up off of the chair and get ready." Hermione said making everyone move quickly.

Rose jumped off of Ron's lap and went to go to her bedroom, but she stopped and turned back around to Ron, giving him another hug.
