Introductions
"I'm so sorry! I was so wrapped up in finding out about you and telling you about me, I forgot to introduce my family!"
"It's fine Jazz, just do it now."
He grinned. He pointed to Carlisle, the shorter blond male. "This is Carlisle, you already were introduced to him though. He's the oldest of us all and he's our 'father' for all intents and purposes." He turned his attention to the chestnut haired woman, with the kind face, next to Carlisle. "This is Esme, his wife and our mother." The blond girl. "Rosalie Hale, my sister." The muscled guy. "Emmett Cullen, her husband and a brother of mine." The short, pixie girl. "You know Alice, my wife." The last man with bronze hair. "And Edward Cullen, my other brother."
"Nice to meet you all." Hermione greeted kindly, smiling at each of them. Her breath caught in her throat when Edward smiled back. Edward was frustrated and it showed on his face. He couldn't read this girl or the red head next to her.
"Hermione?" Esme started.
"Yeah?" She responded, turning her attention from Edward to Esme.
"Who is this boy with you?"
"Oh! I forgot about you Fred. Everyone, this is Fred Weasley. He helped me get here." She smiled at him.
"Hello." The Cullens chorused.
"Hey." He responded, laughingly, eyes glinting micheviously. He had noticed the look Edward and Hermione exchanged and silently vowed to do something about it. Alice all of a sudden grinned, but when Edward looked at her, she began singing in her head, so he tuned her out.
"He's a prankster. He loves to pull pranks on everyone and laugh at their expense. He started his own business, Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, last year with his twin, George."
"Cool." Emmett grinned. "I like you already, man."
"You like to prank?"
"Like to? I love it!"
"Well, then do I have some products for you..." They stood up and Fred took out his 'pocket shop'. He set it up and began showing Emmett tons of different pranks. Judging solely on Emmett's face, he was in heaven. Everyone laughed.
"Edward? What's wrong?" Jasper asked, sensing the frustration rolling off of him in waves.
"I can't hear Hermione or Fred." He stated. Hermione thought it must have been important because everyone else gasped.
"You can't hear me?"
"I read minds, and you...nothing."
"Oh!" Hermione burst out laughing. "Sorry about that." She pulled down her shields for a second and asked, in her mind: Is this better?
Edward grinned. She put her shields back up. "How did you do that?"
"In the wizarding world, we have this thing called occlumency. It is a way to shield your mind from legilimency, or mind reading. I studied it a lot recently because of the upcoming war." She laughed again and Edward's face lit up. All the Cullens, other than Emmett, who was entranced by Fred's products, noticed. Being the protective older brother he was, Jasper sent a menacing glare to Edward.
"Well," Hermione stood and looked at the clock, "Fred, we probably should be heading back, it 1:45 PM. Who knows what conclusions Molly has come up with as to where we went." She laughed again. "It was wonderful meeting all of you."
"You too dear." Esme responded.
"No, you can't go!" Jasper and Edward declared, jumping up from their spots.
"Why not?" Hermione questioned, looking around in fear, then between their worried faces.
"I just found you!" They both responded, then they looked at each other and Jasper sent Edward another glare. He stepped away.
"Well, come with me then. Molly probably won't mind."
"That'd be awesome!" Fred cheered. "Then, you can help me pull pranks and see my shop." He told Emmett. They were already great friends. Rose rolled her eyes.
"Great, like he needs any more encouragement." But anyone could tell she was trying to hold back a laugh. She loved him, it was obvious, and wouldn't change him for the world.
"Okay, let's go." She summoned a pillow and turned it into a port key. "Everyone grab a hold."
"What is it?" Carlisle asked, always the scholar.
"A port key. It transfers people from one place to the next. Just watch."
Sure enough, it glowed bright blue and they all felt a tug at their navel, then, they were spinning to the Burrow!
