The sun was high in the blue sky. It was hot but not too much. The birds were singing and soft voices and laughters echoed from the habitants of the Burrow. It was another sunday, and like the other sundays, the Weasley family and friends had lunch together. It has become a tradition since the final battle.

Ron and Harry were setting the table, Fred and George were doing Merlin-knows-what in their old bedroom. Molly, Ginny and Fleur were making dinner in the kitchen. Arthur and Bill were talking about muggle things.

" They're late" said Ron while putting chairs around the table. Worry was clearly written all over his face. Harry sighed as he checked his watch. " I'm sure they're fine. Minerva must have been held by the Ministry, even if it's sunday."

" Well they didn't owl or anything so I asume they'll still be here." Ginny said as she places some food on the table. She eyed her brother , her hands on her hips "Get over it Ron, Hermione is with Minerva." She was like a mini version of her mother. Harry snickered behind her.

" I know I know" said the red haired man as he held up his hands. " But she's still my best friend. And she's never late." He knew he and Hermione would never be together like he wanted. She had made it very clear five years ago when he had tried to kiss her. His cheek stil burned sometimes. A shiver ran through his spine as he remembered the treath Minerva gave him.

" Anyway, it's true that Minerva has been quite occupied by the Ministry this past few months. Even Hermione. They won't stop harrassing her as they want her to work for them." Ginny sighed as she though about her bestfriend. They were all war heroes for the wizarding world. Everyone wants bits from the Golden Trio and The Order of the Phoenix members. It's been five years since Voldemort's death and the fever from the victory was still high in the air.

" So, when do you leave ?" asked Ron, changing the subject. Her sister shrugged. " I don't know. Angelina isn't coming back in the team for another week so we still be training. Depends on the results from the other matches." She kissed Harry on the lips. " You better come and cheer on me next time, dear brother." She smiled before returning into the kitchen. " I might have a dedicaded shirt from your Krum..."

" Wait, what?"

Harry laughed while patting him on the shoulder.

Stepping into the kitchen, Ginny winced slitghly as the floo erupted into angry emerald flames.

" Merlin what the..?" asked Molly. Alerted by the noise, the Weasley men and Harry joined them in the house. Ginny, her mother and Fleur gasped.

Before them was Hermione Granger. The young witch was wearing blue muggle jeans, white high heels and a white tank top which showed her tanned skin from her arms. Her hair was put into a messy bun. A deep frown was on her lovely face.

" Are..you ok?" asked Ginny as she observed her friend. Her eyes widened as she noticed the angry scratchings on the brunette's hands and forearms.

Hermione smiled gently at her friends. " Yes. I'm fine. Sorry to be late. We...had a little problem at home.." Her chocolate eyes fell onto the bundle of ginger furr in her arms.

" Merlin, dear! What happend to him?" asked Molly while Hermione handed a sleepy Croockshanks to Ginny.

" Did he fight a Hyppogriff or what ?" asked Ron as he eyed the cat. He was in a bad shape.

Hermione bit her lips, as she clearly try not to laugh.

" He got caught into a bad fight" She tried to calm down. " But I had to..take him to the vet. Sorry to be late. Minerva..Should be here in a moment."

Speaking of the devil, the floo burst into emerald flames as the Headmistress of Hogwarts elegently step out of it. Instead of her usual emerald robes she was wearing black trousers and an emerald silk shirt under a long black leather jacket. Her black hair was tied into a ponytail.

On her face, scratches- wait what ?

" Sorry to be late." said the Headmistress as she took off her jacket. Nobody dare to move or say a word as they noticed marks on her hands, arms and neck. The older witch started to growl as she eyed the ginger cat sleeping in Ginny's arms. Hermione snickered at her. After a moment of awkward silence, Molly hushed everyone out.

" Dinner will be ready soon. Come on" She eyed the older witch next to her " Tea, dear ?"

" Yes, thank you Molly"

Hermione giggled behind her hand while the rest of them stood into the garden. Minerva just huffed at her before the young witch kissed her cheek.

" Are you going to tell us what on earth happened ?" asked Ginny as Ron, Harry, Fred , George and herself sat together.

" Well I was finishing some work into the library and Minerva was taking a nap in her cat form in our quarters. After a while some students came to me because there was weird noises in the corridors and a big cat fight." she grinned.

" Wait"

" A big cat fight ?"

"Did she..."

" How..."

The chesnut haired witch bite hard on her cheek.

" I might have forgot to tell Minerva that Croockshanks is in heat" She smirked while her friends tried to laugh not too loud " He tried to make a move on her."


R&R ? ;)
