When Hermione meets the Internet
A/N: No this isn't a humour Fic; it's emotional roller
coaster of confusion. Enjoy!
She sat up, blinded by
the sudden sunlight that filled her bedroom. Hermione looked at where the source
of light was coming from, the window, where her mother Lucy, was opening the
curtains.
"Sorry Hermione, it's
midday. We're getting the new computer." Lucy smiled, staring at her daughter
happily.
"Computer? Oh
right, yeah, but I don't need one, I'm a witch!" Hermione mumbled, still half
asleep.
"Well, you look pretty
board, you need friends that live in London!"
"Harry lives in Surry,
and Ron lives in Somerset, I think, or is it Wales? I don't know."
"So, if we have a
computer you can chat on the Internet."
"Well, OK. I suppose it
might be fun." Hermione finally said, coming round to the idea.
Later that day she was
in her parents' car on the way to PC World to get the computer. Her father
David was all hyped up about getting it, he was into technology a lot! "Look!
Lucy, Hermione! This computer is great. We need an assistant!" David ran around
looking for an assistant, while Hermione sat on a pile of old boxes, thinking
about Ron and Harry. She was quite annoyed, neither of them had replied to her
lat letter she had sent with an owl that came flying into her shed one day,
whom she called Pegasus. Pegasus hadn't returned either, she really hoped they
were OK, and she dare she think it, had You-Know-Who caught up with the
Weasleys, and Harry? Hermione drew herself away from her absurd thoughts to
look at a small girl playing with a Barbie doll. The girl was quite fat, with
blonde pigtails, and a Mars bar in the other hand.
It was ten minutes before her mother and father came back,
with a worried looking teenager with terrible acne.
"So, you want a
computer?" The boy said, his voice rather shaky and screechy. (a/n Like that
teenager in the smipsons)
"Yes, we want one with
the Internet, and lots of hard drive space." Her father said cheerfully.
"Mummy, I'll be in the
car." Hermione whispered to her mother, not wanting to be in the shop any
longer. Hermione shuffled of to the car, with the keys in her hand, jingling
merrily.
It was a long walk to the car, as it was a Saturday so the
Car Park was filled to the brim with computer freaks like her father. Hermione
opened the car, and slid I, only to be shocked by a certain red haired boy.
"Fred!" Hermione yelled, looking at the seventeen year old in shock.
"Sorry Herm, but
something has happened. Ginny has gone missing, we thought maybe she went to
you!" Fred said solemnly. It didn't seem right, Fred to look solemn.
"Fred, my parents will
think I've picked up a hitchhiker!"
"Deal with it, anyway,
Ron is ill, he's got the Muggle flu, Harry wrote to him saying he has got the
same thing. So I'm keeping away."
"What about George?"
"He's got it too, they
went out one day, but I couldn't be bothered to wake up, and came back with the
Muggle Flu."
"But at this time of
year. There is usually an epidemic in January and February."
"Don't look at me, I'm
just sitting in your car!"
"How did you get in?"
"Haven't you heard? Of
course not, you live with Muggles, well Dumbledore said we can use magic over
the summer incase You-Know-Who gets us, we need it for protection!" Fred
grinned.
"Oh well, get in the
back, I don't want my parents seeing you here. They'll be glad a Weasley has
finally come!"
Hermione continued to chat to Fred about the weird and
mysterious things that were happening in the Wizarding world, until her parents
came.
"HERMIONE PHILLIPA
GRANGER! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" It was
Hermione's mother, her voice shrill and shocked. Fred jumped into the back of
the car, and Hermione smiled innocently at them.
"I'm not doing
anything!" Hermione smiled.
"Then who is that?"
"Fred Weasley, Ron's
brother."
"Really? How do you
know, he hasn't had this Polyjuice potion stuff?"
"Trust me, I know!"
"So, Mr Weasley, what
brings you here?"
"Family has the Flu,
your family seems so nice and friendly, so I thought I might stay here, with my
little brother's best friend!"
"OK." Lucy said faintly, and then spun around to see her husband dragging the computer. "DAVID! HURRY UP!" She grinned at Fred and Hermione, and bustled off to help David.
