"Ron!" Hermione shouted, from the top of the stairs. "Have you seen my bag?" Today was one of the most important days of her life. Her boss had said that if she makes her next client happy, that she'll get promoted to the Magical Catastrophe department. "Ron! I really want this promotion. Are you sure you haven't seen my bag?"
"Why is mum freaking out?" Hugo asked looking slightly scared of his mum. He had never seen her freak out so much.
"Your mum has been given one last chance to get that promotion she really wanted." Ron sniggered as he saw Hermione look in the washing machine.
"What's she looking for?" Rose asked.
"Her red bag." Ron replied.
Rose and Hugo looked at each other. Ron noticed this and asked, "What have you two done now?" Ron tried not to shout he didn't like shouting at his kids it made him feel like he was a bad dad.
"It was Rose's fault!" Hugo exclaimed, whilst pointing at Rose.
"It was not!" Rose shouted back. "It was your idea to go through the bag and look for her purse!"
"You where looking for her purse?" Ron said. "Why?"
"We needed the money to buy a new Nimbus 2014." Hugo replied. "After, Rose broke it." Rose started to blush.
"Wait you broke the broomstick?" Rose and Hugo nodded, looking really embarrassed.
Ron laughed at them and Hugo and Rose looked really confused. "The broomstick is old, we were planning on buying you a new one anyway!" There was a silence as Hugo and Rose started up at their father. Then they burst out into hysterical laughter.
"What are you all laughing at?" Hermione asked.
"We stole your bag it's in the front room under the couch." Replied Rose pointing to the couch.
Hermione ran down the stairs and retrieved her bright big handbag and ran to the door. "We will talk about your punishment later!" She said, pointing at both of her children.
She ran to her car, pulled open the door, got in, pressed the peddle and she was gone. Hermione had never driven this fast in her life and she was even more stressed because she was running five minutes late.
Ten minutes later
Hermione ran and knocked on her client's door. A man opened it. He was wearing a suit, which was way do big for him and he had his grey hair combed back like all the people in the 70s did. "Ah, you must be Miss Weasley." He said. "Come in."
Hermione walked through the doorway, but something just wasn't right. She couldn't figure it out at first, but then she thought how could she be so stupid. Everything was pink. The carpet was pink, the walls were hot pink, the stair banister was baby pink even all of the shoes were annoyingly pink. The man lead Hermione to a door (which was painted soft pink) and knocked. He opened it and made a hand gesture, which Hermione assumed meant go in.
In the room was a woman. But, everything she was wearing was pretty much pink. Once she saw this Hermione immediately knew who her client was.
The women turned around "Miss Grainger, or I should say Weasley now, how lovely to see you again." Hermione's jaw dropped she knew that this woman was going to end of her and she was not getting that promotion.
"It's nice to see you to Dolores's Umbridge." Hermione Replied.
