Clandestine Fortes
Rated PG-13
Author Notes: Clandestine Fortes means hidden talents. We're revealing the hidden talents of some of our fellow characters of Harry Potter. Pure fluff. Romance. Light humor, not much. Most fluff, like I said. Each chapter is about one of the characters and their hidden talent. Its:
Hrm/Ron; Angelina/Fred (probably no talent for them =P); H/G; and possibly some other ones. You may request and I'll probably do it. I do NOT do slash, just to tell you people.
Disclaimer: Bite me. I don't own any of these characters.
CHAPTER I
Ron edged away from the drunken heap of his sleeping friends to a secluded room. Angelina and Fred's wedding was very formal. But that was only because of Mrs. Weasley. Afterwards, the groom, groom's twin, bride, Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione booked a large room in the hotel.
And they got a bit drunk.
And sang off-key at the karaoke machine until room service went up to the room to shut them up.
Ron approached the door and opened it. The room was almost empty, had it not been for the piano and the small bench that was accompanying it. Cracking his fingers, Ron tried to recall the song that he used to play when he was ten. It was seven years ago because he quit for he couldn't take lessons when he was in Hogwarts.
Ron placed his finger on the pearl and ebony keys that were smooth at the touch. Memories flashed into his head and his fingers began playing on their own; his mind just enjoying the peaceful sounds that came out of it.
He played.
And he played.
And he didn't notice that a sleepy Hermione had crept up behind him and sat down next to him on the bench.
He stopped.
"Her-Hermione?" Ron bit his lip and blushed. He suddenly noticed that she was still drunk and sleepy. She suddenly slipped her arm into his and leaned against him, causing him to blush even more.
"Ron? Play some more. That's really pretty, what your playing from that accordion. Please?" Hermione looked up at him with tired eyes, but a pretty smile.
Ron nodded and began playing a soothing melody that drifted around and caused Hermione to fall asleep.
It also caused the rest of the people in the other room to come over to the room where Ron was.
Ginny was clinging onto Harry's arm for balance and Fred has his arms wrapped around Angelina. George had left earlier.
"That music...sounds good..." Harry swayed and collapsed on the floor, Ginny resting her head on his stomach.
Fred nodded groggily and sat next to Harry and Ginny before slumping down for more sleep with Angelina's head in his lap.
Slightly surprised at the sudden audience, but not wanting to disappoint them, Ron carried on with the lullaby.
And the music put a spell on everyone, calming their hearts and bringing them into a peaceful dream world.
When Ron knew no one would wake, he started to get up and nearly forgot about Hermione. He sat back down and used his hand to stroke her silky, wavy, hair. Hermione snuggled up closer to him in response. When her grip loosened, Ron slipped his arm off of hers and headed toward his bedroom.

Fred yawned and stretched. "Wow. How did we wind up in this dinky room? The last thing I remember is that cow coming up and yelling at us for singing at the karaoke machine."
Ginny rubbed her eyes. "I remember hearing beautiful music."
Hermione stirred and caught Ginny's words. "Beautiful music...like a soothing melody."
Harry nodded. "Wonderful dream I had too."
Angelina grinned. "Well I'm gonna have a wonderful cup of coffee. Who's with me?" Everyone got up to follow Angelina. "Hey little brother! Get up, we're gonna get some coffee!"
Hermione stopped at Ron's door however. "Ron?" She asked, hesitating for a moment.
Ron looked up at her from the bed and stopped slipping on his shirt. "Yea?"
"Was...that you that was playing the piano?"
Ron gave a mysterious smile and said, "Clandestine fortes."
