------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All of a sudden the clock went off…as the fifth and final chime rang out their was a loud CRACK and banging at the door. Everyone looked around as Hermione ran to answer it…her eyes twinkling and a Cheshire grin spreading onto her face.
As they all came out of the kitchen Hermione flew the door open…"Oh my gosh! What a surprise! It's so nice of you to drop in!"
"Hey Hermione! How's Summer going?"
"Everything ok?" His eyes darted to Mr. Granger who was standing behind Charlie…who had a slight smile on his face. You could tell however that Charlie was trying to decide if this new arrival was good or not. He smirked as he pulled Hermione into a hug. Hermione got a kiss on each cheek from the two boys, and when she turned around her family were looking at her like she had grown two heads.
"Oh! Mom! Dad! Tim-Scotty-Holly," she said the last part quickly as her mother came forward. Hermione had told both Mrs. Granger and Holly about the "unexpected arrival"…and Charlie too of course…so Mrs. Granger was first to recover from the shock of having the two red heads here.
"Mom, this is…um…" she looked at the two for help…
"I would be Fred," Fred said as he extended his hand to her.
"And I would be George" George added as he did the same.
Mrs. Granger smiled and shook their hands quickly…she wasn't much for shaking hands…but she didn't really know them…yet.
"Right!" Hermione said coming forward again. "That's Fred, and this is George…"
"No I'M Fred and THAT's George!"
"Right…THAT'S George and THIS is Fred," she said correcting herself as Holly came forward to say Hi.
"Guys, this is my mom, and this is Holly! Holly and I have been friends since…what? Grade 1?"
"Yea I think so…1 or Senior Kindergarden…" She said shaking hands with Fred, or was it George?
"Pleasure!"
Hermione rolled her eyes behind the twins back and Holly hid her chuckle. "Holly's also going out with my brother Scotty…" she summoned the rest of her family forward as the twins glanced at eachother…their smiles growing larger. Charlie caught this look…
"Soo, what could my dear brothers be doing in this part of town?" He asked in a mock sweet sort of voice…
"CHARLIE!" Fred said ignoring Mr. Granger's outstretched hand to go hug his brother.
"What a pleasure…" George said doing the same to Tim's outstretched hand.
"To see you…" Fred continued
"We were just…"
"In the neighborhood…"
"So we looked you two up…"
"And…"
"Here we are!" They finished together and Holly hissed in Hermione's ear…
"Do they do that often?"
"All the time." Hermione sighed as her Cheshire Grin faltered for a second. Sure having the twins here would be a…little…trying on her nerves, but it sure was going to be FUN having them there to back up Charlie…she couldn't wait!
"We were just going to sit down for supper boys, why don't you join us. It's a good thing I made extra," Mrs. Granger said as a small version of her own grin appeared on her face. Mr. Granger and Tim watched as the Twins followed the rest of the family into the kitchen.
"Something's up dad…"
"I know…this is going to be… interesting…" Mr. Granger sighed as he followed his family and the three Weasley brothers into the kitchen. Tim stood there for a few moments thinking and then went to follow, but at that moment his mobile phone rang.
"Hello? Hey what's up? Is everything ok?" Charlie, who was just about to pop his head into the hall to see what was taking Tim…on Mrs. Grangers request of course…he would never do it willingly…heard him talking and froze. "Yea I'm fine…Hermione's boyfriend's brothers just showed up. I dunno why! Why would I know? Sorry, I didn't mean to yell. Honest. Look, never mind about me…are you ok? Nothing's wrong is it? I'll be back at the camp soon I promise…no you can't come here! Because….you know da…darn well why!" Charlie approached Tim quietly…he was too absorbed in the conversation to notice though. "I swear I'll be home soon…as soon as I can shake this guy off of…no its not the same! I know what love is…"
Charlie had to cover his mouth to stifle the snort that came from his throat. Tim still didn't notice he was there.
"Yes he's nice to her…but…No he hasn't done anything to hurt her…at least not that I kno…YES she seems happy…but…h…I…I know! It's not the same ok! Look I got to go…"
Charlie backed up slowly to stand in the doorway; a grin creeping onto his face…Hermione's Cheshire grins must be rubbing off on him…
"Yes I love you too…don't hesitate to call anytime…any day…I don't care if it's two AM… my phone will be on…No you cant have the house number…BECAUSE! Yes…I will, I know…Love you too…say hi to him for me…I'm positive! Ok…I know you are too…but I'm rite… Talk to you later, call if you need anything and remember that Will is at the camp if you need something…. he'll be happy to help…I told him to…alright…bye…" He closed his phone and turned around. Charlie had to blink to make sure he saw correctly…Tim looked happy…happy…but sad at the same time… like he had just gotten fired…at his wedding…as soon as he saw Charlie however, his stern face returned. "What do you want." He asked sending killing curses at Charlie through his eyes…it didn't work though…(don't worry girls!)
"Your mom sent me to see what was keeping you…"
"Oh…"
Charlie tuned to go back into the kitchen but glanced over his shoulder before pushing the door open, "Oh and Tim. I've never done anything to hurt Hermione, and I never will… And both of us are happy…" As he disappeared through the door Tim paled and he heard him ask…
"How much did you hear?" Charlie only smiled as the door closed behind him. Hermione looked questioningly at him but turned her attention back to the twins who were explaining to her family about how they started their own joke shop. As Tim entered the kitchen they were just wrapping up.
"So business is going well…"
"Best shop in Diagon Ally!"
"You've been there before with Hermione haven't you?"
"You should come again and…"
"Stop by the shop!" Holly and Mrs. Granger both laughed and Hermione rolled her eyes as they finished together.
"Tim! What took you so long? Was that your phone I heard?"
"Huh? Oh yea mom it was." He glanced sideways at Charlie, "just some things I had to clear up for work." He then started on his potatoes, not really paying attention. As he ate he could see the twins looking up at him…they were kind of creepy, he would deffinately have to keep an eye on them.
As dinner started to wrap up, Hermione took a sip of her milk and glanced at her brother quickly, sending the milk back into the glass as she started laughing. "OH MY GOD TIM! What did you DO to your HAIR!"
As Hermione covered her mouth laughing, the rest of the table turned their attention to the oldest of the Granger siblings. Holly, Scotty, Fred, George, and Charlie all burst out laughing. Mrs. Granger was trying hard to conceal her laughter, and Mr. Granger was looking at Tim like he had grown two heads.
"What's wrong with my hair?" Tim picked up his spoon to see if he could get a small reflection, and maybe an idea about what was wrong, but as soon as the spoon flashed past his face he knew what was wrong. He sprang from his seat and ran into the hallway and to the mirror. His blonde spiked hair was a bright lime green! Tim almost screamed…he loved his hair! "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO MY HAIR!" He shouted to no one in particular. He stormed back into the kitchen and Charlie and Mrs. Granger stopped laughing…although this was very hard for Charlie. Tim with Bright lime hair was not a sight to not laugh at! Mr. Granger looked outrage and Tim rounded on Charlie right away.
"Fix it!" he almost growled. Charlie looked at his twins smirking faces…oh god they were going to get him into even deeper trouble then he was in!
"Um, yea ok…" Charlie rose and caught the look from Hermione, he licked his lips quickly… then walked past his brothers, grabbing the candies and counter curse candies from their hands. It was easy candy to understand… Fred and George had explained it to him before, and they had even used one on Fleur on her wedding day. She had flipped out and they were lucky Mrs. Weasley even let them leave the house to go… but the counter curse candies were so easy to understand that by the time Charlie got to the base of the stairs he knew which one would reverse Tim's hair. Tim followed him to the upstairs bathroom, and Charlie glanced three extendable ears follow them up…Fred, George, and Hermione!
"Ok," Charlie said handing Tim a purple candy. "This should fix it!" Tim grabbed the candy without even saying thank-you and popped it into his mouth. His hair grew a few inches flowing over his face and became a brilliant shade of purple. Tim rounded on Charlie again.
"Oops…sorry…here." As soon as Tim swallowed the orange candy he yelled out!
"MY HAIRS AT LEAST 6 inches longer and I look like I have a tiger on my head!"
Charlie sighed…this hair actually suited Tim. After Tim's hair changing to a pink Afro, a waist length baby blue, and a bald head died red in the area where the hair should have been… Charlie decided it was probably time to give Tim the correct counter curse candy. He fished the white one out of his pocket and handed it to Tim, who grew a brilliant white beard. Charlie silenced his laughs.
"CHARLIE!"
"Ok, sorry…these things can be confusing, and I don't have the box to help me out!" He hushed his laughter as he finally gave Tim the blondish colored one and his hair returned to normal. As soon as it was his own hair again, he stormed out of the bathroom and to his room slamming the door. Charlie followed.
"You're welcome Tim!" he said through the door, at least he thought he did, but it opened so fast that Charlie wasn't sure.
"I'M WELCOME! Why should I be THANKING YOU! You're the one who tuned my hair a million different colors!"
"I'm ALSO the one who helped you turn it back remember!"
"It wouldn't have BEEN that color if you hadn't changed it in the first place!"
"It wasn't me!"
"Oh so your brothers! That makes it better! Why the hell did you call them here anyways! It's not your place!"
"I DIDN'T call them here! They just showed up ok!"
"Whatever! Point is it was your family members that did this…therefore, a thank-you is the LAST thing you're going to get!"
"They probably wouldn't be dong things like this if you and Scotty weren't being an arse!"
"Things!"
Charlie was mad now…and he wasn't done. "You know Hermione and I are happy, and earlier on the Tellytone you said you know what love is…" Tim paled as Charlie brought up the phone conversation… "But you don't, cause if you did, you would leave Hermione and me alone…. don't you see how upset she's getting…we LOVE EACHOTHER…and no matter what I'm sticking around…whether you like it or not!" As Charlie turned around Tim called after him.
"Her last boyfriend said he cared about her too…"
"Yea well, I'm not Krum…I actually love her!" Charlie took off into Scotty's room and slammed the door…Tim's door slammed down the hall at the same time. The three extendable ears retracted down the stairs to where two red heads and a brunette were standing. Hermione had tears shining in her eyes and Fred and George each put an arm around her shoulder.
"I can't believe he said that to Tim…"
"Well Hermy…he really does care about you. " Fred said as he squeezed her shoulders.
"Yea…I've never seen Charlie like this before…he can usually keep his temper under control…working with dragons and all…except if someone makes fun of the family….or someone he really cares about."
"Then he can only take so much before blowing up in there face."
Hermione smiled softly as the tears dripped off her cheeks. She sure hoped Chalrie cared about her…she really was in love with him. She whipped the tears off her eyes as her mother, Scoty, and Holly came put of the kitchen.
"I take it dinner's over." Scotty said spotting the look on his sisters face.
"Yea…I think its time for bed…I'm kind of tired. Maybe some fresh air first…" She looked at Holly who smiled.
"Why don't you walk me home…"
"I'm coming too…" Scotty said. He didn't want his sister and girlfriend making any more plans… he knew they already had one…. he just didn't know what it was.
Hermione sighed… "Fine…but Fred and George might as well come too then….we can show them the neighbourhood."
"Just make sure you don't stay out to late." Mrs. Granger said as she returned to the kitchen. "Oh…and when you return… Scotty you can go bunk with Tim in his room and let the twins stay in your room with Charlie."
Scotty went to protest but Holly elbowed him in the ribs, "Fine mother." He disappeared through the door and Holly, Hermione, and the twins followed.
Upstairs, Charlie threw himself onto Scotty's bed, putting his elbows on his knees and dropping his head into his hands. What made him blow up at Tim…what was it that triggered it. Yes Tim had really got him upset earlier when he said Charlie and Hermione weren't in love…they were…weren't they? Charlie rubbed his forehead. Tim had insulted his family…and in a way he had unintentionally insulted Hermione…she was the reason the twins were here. So was that why he blew up at Tim? He ran his hand down his face and frowned. He loved Hermione didn't he? He had said countless times that he had, he wasn't afraid to say it…it came naturally. Was that bad? Was that good? Why was he so upset? Why was he asking himself so many questions? Was this what love did to you? WAS he in love? It's such a strong word! He shook his head to clear it, stood, and started paceing back and forth. What was Hermione doing to him…he had just flipped out on her eldest brother….that was bad…that was very, very, bad! Tim had gone to boot camp…he ran one! Mr. Granger had been in the army…and Tim was definitely going to tell him. Charlie licked his lips. He was screwed… now they would really hate him. They wouldn't want anything to do with Charlie! Hermione wouldn't be allowed to be with him…did he want her to? This was technically her fault…if she hadn't called the twins here they wouldn't have started this mess. No! It wasn't Hermione's fault at all... it was Fred and Georges…they ruined his chance with Hermione. Stupid brothers got to get involved in everything! Why would Hermione even want to be a part of his family now? Whoa…wait… a part of his FAMILY! What WAS he thinking? She was eighteen…he was twenty-six…and he was going back to Romania at the end of the month…that was a problem. But he had promised Hermione that they would still be together…he said he wouldn't hurt her…but did he mean it? Of course he did! Right? He wasn't going to hurt Hermione…not like Krum had…he wasn't Krum! Very good Charlie… you figured out your name! Good job. He sighed. His brothers! They ruined it…would ruined be the word? Maybe saved? Did they save him from being stuick with her family? Could he have handled being a part of her family? Where was FAMILY coeing from...he didn't want that yet! Did he? If he did, his brothers ruined it...or did they? He would have blown up at Tim eventually anyways…he really was being an arse! But was it perhaps the family comment that made Charlie furious? Or the fact that Tim didn't want Hermione and Charlie together? Hmmm….?
"Oh God Hermione," Charlie mumbled as he ripped off his shirt and pants. "what are you doing to me?" He pulled on some pajamas and climbed into bed. Thoughts ringing threw his head as he drifted of to sleep…
I love Hermione ... ... ...
Right?
