Two years after the wizarding war, Hermione and Ron had given their relationship a good try but in the end it peated out and they both resolved that being friends was better. Fred and George are still running weasley wizard wheezes. Harry and Ginny are dating.

The Perfect Clash

Hermione was slumped over the table at the burrow ,her bushy brown hair cascading messily around her, a steaming mug of tea in front of her that Mrs Weasley had made the moment she had apparated into the garden (barely missing a rather rude gnome). Hermione had just returned again from Australia she was too tired. She had found her parents a year after the war, whilst the wizarding world was still counting its losses and licking its wounds, but it turned out that they had become particularly fond of their new life style. Hermione was delighted they were happy of course ;but sometimes the general faff of having to get permission to enter Australia under magical means got to her. The process was long and tiring and left little time for seeing her friends in between work and visiting her family.

From behind her she heard the door to the living room open its hinges squeaking slightly, and Harry walked in starting slightly when he saw her sitting at the table, now trying to make her hair look less manic.

"'Mione!" he said walking quickly up to her and gathering her in a hug.

"Harry" she laughed squeezing him with a laugh.

"When did you get back?" he asked pulling away with a smile his hands still on her arms.

"This Morning" she explained taking in his tired but happy face "i thought i would pop around"

The sound of footsteps above them made them both look up, they carried down the stairs quickly and towards the door. And then there was Ginny throwing herself through hurtling herself at hermione

"Mione!" she said hugging her tightly almost sending her friend flying with the momentum of her affection.

"Ginny!" laughed hermione hugging her tightly "hi!"

"Hi" she said pulling back and laughing "does mum know your here?"

"Yes" smiled hermione happy to see her friends again "i just saw her"

Then a freckled face shoved his head through the door "whats all this fuss about?" said a very disgruntled Ron.

Ginny and Harry both looked at him questioningly.

"err...Hermione" said Harry with a half exasperated laugh.

"I know" said Ron shaking his head slowly "keep it down the chuggley cannons are playing" he left the room followed the sound of the old radio being turned up and the crowd booing at another quaffle drop.

"I've seen him already" said hermione answering their questioning gaze.

Laughing they all sat down to share stories about work and the latest events, and soon enough an angry Ron joined them but as soon as the hard hit of the loss of the quidditch match had worn off he started to joke with them. Laughing as Hermione recited her journy.

"Oh Harry i almost forgot" said hermione drawing out a small wrapped parcel from her bag.

"Happy birthday" she said with a smile handing it to him.

"Thanks 'mione" he said with a smile and gave her a half hug.

"You are coming to the party though right hermione" asked Ginny her eyebrows knitted in worry.

"I don't know Gin it depends when work finishes i have a huge case and.." Harry cut her off.

"'Mione you have to come" he said looking awkwardly at Ginny

"Hermione!" Fred and george had just swung the door open calling her name in unison.

"Imagine seeing you ear" said Fred shooting a smug look at his brother.

"That's Gorges line Fred" said Hermione earning a look of disapproval from both of the twins as they looked at each other.

Their hair had gotten longer and it was almost shoulder length now it was almost impossible to tell them apart like this as gorges lack of ear was hidden, they were slightly more muscular from lifting boxes in the shop but asides from that they were the same.

Mrs weasley came in Teddy grabbing fistful of her hair and laughing ecstatically as he sneezed and his hair turned a bright bubble-gum pink.

After one-too-many fire whiskeys and a lot of catching up Hermione stood up to take her leave as she kissed harry on the cheek her grabbed her arm

"Please try and make tomorrow" he breathed.

"Harry i have w-" Harry cut her off

"'Mione..please" he said letting her go

"Okay"

She left the house and walked into the shadows of the nearby tree to apparate as someone came running out of the house clutching her bag.

"'Mione!" said Fred running up to her

"Your bag" he said with a smile reaching her pushing his hair out of his face.

"Oh!" said a surprised Hermione "thank you"

Fred handed her the bag and their fingers grazed lightly against hers his blissfully warm in the cold summer air.

"See ya later granger" he said with a wave as he walked back to the house.

With a smile she apparated onto the front step of her small cramped apartment and went inside.
