Interesting Conversations
After Molly had got Hugo some fresh mashed potato and the girls had all eaten everyone went up to their respective bedrooms.
In the girls room Hermione and Ginny weren't both deciding whether or not to ask some questions.
Rose sighed "What do you want to know, Mum I can tell by your face that there's something"
"Well I was just wondering how and when Ron and I, you know … got together" Hermione said slightly red
"I was wondering that too only with me and Harry" Ginny added
Roxanne and Lily shared a grin.
"Well isn't it good that you have us here" Roxanne said "Those are two stories which we hear at least once a week - normally it's to do with my Dad teasing you lot but that's besides the point"
"Yes Mum as far as I'm aware, in your fifth year, Daddy's sixth year. You were dating Dean Thomas" Lily said. Ginny turned red again
"And then one night after Quidditch practice Uncle Harry and Uncle Ron were going back to Gryffindor tower and decided to take a shortcut" Roxy went on
"Only as they pulled back the tapestry, a horrific sight met their eyes involving you and a certain Mr. Thomas" Lily smirked
"I wasn't that bad," Rose said as Ginny now was looking very shocked "You were just snogging"
"Rose, stop ruining the story" Roxy said annoyed "Anyway, Uncle Ron of course over-reacts resulting in you telling him that Harry has kissed Cho Chang and Hermione has kissed Viktor Krum and that he needs to grow up"
"Ginny, you promised you wouldn't tell" Hermione said in a hurt voice
"I really am sorry" Ginny replied but knew that when she got annoyed sometimes things slipped out that weren't meant to slip out.
"And Uncle Harry finally realised that he liked you" Roxy continued "But then you were going out with Dean so he couldn't do anything"
"But then you and Dean broke up and Harry attacked Scorpius's Dad leading to him getting a detention every Saturday for the rest of the year" Rose added in
"This was a problem because he was Quidditch Captain and now he couldn't play" Vicki said "So he got Aunt Ginny to play Seeker and Dean to fill in for her as Chaser"
"So then on the day of the match, Snape kept him in extra long in detention," Rose said
"And you were playing Seeker against Cho Chang" Lily added to Ginny "Which is quite ironic"
"When Harry finally got out of detention he went straight to the Common Room were Ron told him that Gryffindor had won" Roxy said "But he didn't really care at that moment and time because suddenly Ginny ran at him and threw her arms around him, bit like what Rose did to Scorpius earlier"
Rose glared
"And then Daddy kissed you" Lily finished "in front of the whole of Gryffindor"
Ginny and Hermione stared at them with open mouths.
"Wow" Ginny said after a moment "He just kissed me like that, not caring that Ron was watching"
"He didn't really think, apparently Ron looked like he'd been clubbed over the head" Roxy laughed
"Well what about me and Ron" Hermione said after everyone had stopped laughing.
"Okay picture this, you, Ron and Dad are all out on a camping trip trying to find the things needed to destroy Voldemort," Lily said "Dad realises that you have to go to Hogwarts because that's were one of them is. Only then Voldemort finds out your there and his Death Eaters attack"
"You and Dad then go down to the Chamber of Secrets" Rose went on.
"What?" said a very pale Ginny.
"Err yes, they had to get Basilisk fangs to destroy the thing that Harry was finding" Rose said carefully
"Well by this time all the students who didn't want to fight had been evacuated" Victoire said "And Uncle Ron and you had arrived back at the Room of Requirement where Harry was"
"And suddenly Dad has this brainwave that the House-Elves need saving" Rose added in
"Then after almost seven years of you two fighting and not realising you love each other" Roxanne continued "Hermione throws the Basilisk fangs to the ground and throws herself at Ron and they start snogging with Harry standing there feeling very much like a third wheel"
"So he decides to break them up" Lily said shaking her head "honestly and Mum says that James is like Ron when it comes to tact, Daddy doesn't have much either"
Hermione however seemed to unable to speak; she had been the one to kiss Ron! When she had thought about liking Ron she had always pictured him asking her out on a perfectly normal day! She had not pictured herself being the one who kissed him in the middle of a battle!
As everyone laughed at Hermione's face there was scheming and plotting going on in Fred and George's room.
"So how do you think would be the best target" Fred asked
"Scorpius" James said immediately
"Ron" George said
"Rose" Hugo said
"Well how about them all" Fred said
James, George and Hugo's faces lit up
"But how" Hugo said after a moment
"That is the question" Fred said "It has to be good, very good. Any ideas"
James suddenly cracked a huge grin
"What?" George asked him.
"I've just had the most amazing idea, but we can't carry it out till everyone is asleep"
"Sounds good, what is it" Fred replied
"Just one thing; are you two seventeen?" James asked
The twins nodded and James started explaining his brilliant plan.
Meanwhile in Harry and Ron's room there was a slightly awkward silence.
Ron was a mess; he had to say this was the worst and best day of his life. On the good side he had found out he married Hermione and had two children, on the bad side Harry – his best mate – had married Ginny – his sister – and had three children! And then to top off all the bad news his daughter was apparently dating Malfoy even though she denied it. And last but not least he was now sitting in his room with the betrayer (Harry), the Harry clone (Albus) and the daughter stealer (Scorpius). All in all Ron was very proud of his new names.
"So what do you want to do" the Harry clone asked after a few minutes of the awkward silence.
"Go to sleep" Ron said coldly
"Honestly, Uncle Ron you need to grow up" the Harry clone said after realising the problem "Dad is your best friend, I understand if you're mad at Scorpius but at least be nice to Dad"
The betrayer nodded in agreement "Ron, you know that I would never intentionally betray you, which I haven't. I don't even talk to Ginny and I like Cho at the moment remember"
Ron continued to glare "How would you like it if someone told you I married your sister"
"Actually I don't mind" the betrayer replied "Hermione is basically my sister and in case you hadn't noticed I'm actually happy that you two end up together"
"Fine" Ron grumbled "But I'm not going to let this ruin our friendship but I'm not happy"
Harry nodded quickly; Ron decided that Harry and Al were allowed their names back and with one final glare at the daughter stealer he went to sleep.
A couple of hours later when everyone was asleep no one noticed four figures sneaking down to the girls' room. No one noticed them leaving with someone levitated by a wand. No one noticed when they entered the other boys' room with the figure and returned without it. No one noticed as they crept back to their room and fell asleep.
