When Hermione meets the Internet

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.
