When they stepped out of the fireplace the living room was empty. They looked at each other with raised eyebrows. Then they heard laughter coming from the garden. They both walked to the window and peered outside. There was a tent with a large table underneath. They saw Molly and Arthur gather everyone around. Bill, Fleur and little Victoire were already sitting at the table next to Ron, Percy, Andromeda and Harry, who had Teddy on his lap. On the other side a couple of feet away from the table stood Ginny, George and Fred. The latter looking worried at the burrow.

"I think we better get outside before Fred loses it." Charlie chuckled as he offered his arm. Hermione gladly took it as they walked outside. Fred was the first one who noticed them as he was still looking at the house. His worried look was replaced with a big grin as they walked down the garden.

"SURPRISE!" Hermione and Charlie yelled and every head in the garden turned to them. Molly squealed as she ran up to them. Harry and Ron on heels.

"CHARLIE! HERMIONE! What a nice surprise." Her eyes locked on their arms that were still linked in one another. Her eyes turned big and she smiled sweetly before Hermione could think anything of it she was almost knocked of her feet by Harry and Ron.

"Mione!" They said as they wrapped her into a hug. "We missed you."

"I missed you too. Why is everyone outside?"

"Well -" They started walking to the tent. "you see Andromeda and Teddy are here. And Luna, Neville and Hannah are coming. So it would be to crowded inside. And now with you and Charlie. Why didn't you tell us?" Harry asked.

"We wanted to surprise everyone and we weren't sure if we could get time of."

"Auntie Mione!" Two toddlers cried out as the ran over to her.

"Oi! What about me?" Charlie cried out.

"They like me better." Hermione teased and stuck out her tong. The toddlers ran into her arms as she bent down. "Hi peanut. Hi Nugget. I missed you so much." She hugged them at the same time. And whispered: "Now go hug your uncle Charlie, he looks a little lonely."

"Okay." And they both jumped on a leg that made Charlie nearly toppled to the ground. "We missed you Uncle Charlie!"

Hermione laughed as stood back up. Charlie turned to the youngsters and took out to presents from his pocket. "This is from me and auntie Mione."

Hermione looked at him with a raised eyebrow. Charlie just grinned at her before looking back at the kids as they ripped open paper. Victoire was holding a stuffed dragon who looked exactly like Nixi while Teddy was holding one just like Oco.

"This one-" He pointed at Teddy's dragon. "Is Oco. And this one-" he turned to Victoire. "Is Nixi. They look exactly like two of the dragons we are taking care of at the reserve. Maybe one day you could get to meet them."

"Thank you!" They both hugged Charlie before turning to her and hugging her legs.

"Now we won't hear the end of it." Bill laughed as he and Fleur joined them. "Hi Charlie, Hermione." He and Fleur hugged them both. Fred, George and Ginny walked up to them and plastered a wide smile on their faces as if they haven't seen each other not even an hour ago.

"Mione! You're back!" Ginny yelled as she tackled her in a hug.

"Subtle." She whispered which made Ginny chuckle. Fred and George turned to Charlie and welcomed him back before turning to Hermione.

"Hermione!" The both called out and they wrapped her in a twin hug. "So nice to see you."

"It's been so long."

Hermione grinned wide trying to hold in her laugh before Molly ushered everyone to the table. Molly sat Hermione next to Charlie while Ginny sat on her other side. In front of her sat the twins. After ten minutes the last ones arrived and after a happy reunion Neville, Hannah and Luna sat down on the end of the table.

"Let's eat." Molly smiled and everyone pilled their plates.

"So Hermione. How is it going on the reserve? Charlie is not to much of a hassle?"

"No, Charlie has been wonderful. I love working there. I feel like am making a difference."

"You are making a difference Mione. Look what you did with Oco." Charlie squeezed her shoulder as he smiled fondly of him.

Hermione saw Molly's as grow big again and looked worried at Charlie. Charlie turned his head to his mother who was pointing at them.

"I knew it! I knew you two would get together! Oh I'm so happy I get another daughter."

Hermione and Charlie looked at her in shock while George, Fred and Ginny were trying their best to hold in their laughter.

"Wh- Mum! What are you talking about?"

"Don't lie to me Charlie, I can see the love between you two."

"Yes I love her mum." Charlie said and the twins and Ginny's mouth fell open and their mum's eyes went even bigger. "Brotherly love mum. Hermione is like me sister."

Hermione felt and saw the rest of the exhale in relieve. Molly still looked unsure between the two of them. "I feel the same way Molly. Charlie is like my brother."

"Oh." Molly looked a bit devastated but before she could say anything more, Hermione saw Harry whisper something in Teddy ear. Teddy's eyes lit up and yelled.

"Look what I can do!" And Teddy turned his nose and mouth in that of a dragon. Everyone looked shocked before laughing with the young boy.

Thank you Hermione mouthed to Harry who just grinned and shrugged.

"You make a great dragon Teddy." Hermione smiled at the boy.

Hermione turned her gaze to her boyfriend who was smirking at her. She outstretched her leg and gave him a kick under the table. He winced a little but his smile never left his face. Suddenly his smile turned mischievous. He hold her leg in place and started to trail his foot up and down her legs. Her eyes went wide as she looked around the table but no one was paying attention as they were all busy in their own conversations. Seizing the opportunity she graced her other foot up his leg and settled them between his thighs. Stroking the bulge in his pants that was growing harder, bigger.
He swallowed hard as his eyes turned dark with desire. Hermione started talking to Luna as she kept running her foot against his groin. Fred had a hard time not to jump her bones or let out a groan in the midst of dinner.
Soon after dinner Neville, Hannah and Luna went home. While the rest started to gather to go inside. Hermione jumped up first and said she needed to use the ladies room and quickly made her way inside. Glancing back at Fred and winking before she disappeared in the doorway.

"She's been trying to get you crazy huh?" George asked grinned as he saw his face as Hermione left.

"Trying? It's bloody working."

"Hmm okay. I know how that feels, Ange did that to me sometimes too, remember? Let me return the favor and cause a distraction." He looked around the table. "But don't take to long or it will get suspicious."

He nodded and looked at his twin. "Thanks Georgie."

He waved his hand. "It's okay, better get as much time with her before she leaves and you get all grumpy again."

Fred huffed but didn't respond. He was dreading that for days. He didn't want her to leave. He wanted to wake up to her every single day. But she was leaving tomorrow evening and he could chose to be moody or to go up there and find his girl. He was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard his mother and Fleur scream while the others laughed.
He turned and saw that Teddy and Victoire were looking like yellow birds. Fred's eyes went big as he thought how crazy George was for pranking the little ones. When everyone's attention was turned to the kids he slipped out and ran to the house.
Hermione wasn't in the kitchen, or the living room. He took the stairs two at a time and looked in her old bedroom which was empty. He looked up at the ceiling and apparated right into his old bedroom. She was laying on his bed waiting for him.

"Hi handsome." She smiled sweetly at him.

"You evil little minx." He growled and jumped on his bed on top of her. "You make me crazy."

"I try to." She laughed before she pulled him down and crashed her lips onto his. Fred led his tong slip on her lips and deepened the kiss. His hand quickly found his way under her dress and into her knickers, earning him a groan from the beautiful witch beneath him. Hermione who tried to clear her head from the pleasure his been giving her reached for her wand and with a small wave both of their clothes disappeared. Fred groaned as he saw her naked form. Merlin she drove him crazy.

As they were already turned on it didn't took long form them to come screaming each others name. It was hurried but passionate and the snuggled as he hold her close.

"I'm going to miss you so much." He whispered in her hair. She pulled back and looked at him as she cupped his face. Stroking her thumb against his lower lip.

"I'll miss you too. I'll be back in less then a month for Neville's wedding. I'll try to take a couple of days extra."

"Hmm I would love that." His eyes were closed and the took the hand the cupped his cheek kissing it. And she leaned forwards and kissed him deep, passionate. She sighed when she pulled back. "We better get down stairs before someone finds us."

"You're right." He hugged her tight before letting go and pulling her up as he handed her her clothes. He looked out the window as he pulled up his pants.

"You go first. Most of them are still outside."

"Ok." She stepped up next to him. "I'll see you downstairs." And she kissed him, her hand trailing down his chest to down his pants.

"Mione." Fred groaned. She laughed and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and darted downstairs.

Hermione came down to a still empty living room and gathered some games. She dropped down on the sofa as she placed the games on the table as the family came in.

"Oh here you are Hermione."

"Thought I set up the games." She smiled at Molly and saw the smug know-it-all smile of George next to her.

"That's nice dear. Have you seen Fred?"

"I'm here mum." Fred came strolling down the stairs. "Had to use the loo for number two."

"To much information Fred." Ron gagged as he dropped in front of the coffee table. The rest gathered in the living room. Molly and Arthur chaired a love seat close to the fire. While Ginny, Bill and Charlie sat down on the ground next to Ron. Harry and George each took a side to Hermione while Fred and Percy sat in the second sofa with Fleur and Andromeda. While the kids were playing in the corner with their dragons.

"How is Angelina, George?"

"She's great mum. She had the work today but next Sunday she will come for dinner."

Molly beamed as she turned her attention back to her husband.

Hermione leaned closer to George and whispered.

"I think your mum hates that so many of her kids are single at the moment."

"I think you're right. Maybe we should tell them about you and-"

"Don't you dare." She laughed as she saw that he was joking.

"Who do you think will be the next one in a relationship?"

"Oi! What are you two whispering about?" Ron called over as he saw them whispering. Every eye on the room was focused on them.

"Oh we were just placing a bet on which one of the single people in this room will be the first one in a relationship."

"I want in." Bill called over from his spot. He glanced at the room surveying the people he thought were single. "Percy you still been seeing Audrey?" Percy nodded. "Ok.. this is harder than I thought. I mean Hermione just came out a long term relationship as well as the two of you." He pointed at Harry and Ginny. "Ron is helpless."

"Oi!" Ron chucked a pillow at his head. Bill just laughed as he turned his gaze to Fred.

"And Fred, well he has a reputation of being a playboy but the last couple of months nothing happened."

"He's right!" Ron frowned as he looked at his brother. "Why is that?"

"Someone special caught your eye?" Harry teased.

Hermione saw the exchange and Fred looked panicked for a second before relaxing.

"You guys are to interested in my love life. But if you must know me and George have been to busy with the second shop or did you forget."

"Alright." George cut in. "So Bill who's your bet?"

"I think Hermione or Ginny."

"Ginny." Fleur suggested.

"Harry." Said Percy.

"Ron!" Harry called out.

"Yes, Ron." Andromeda chimed in. Everyone looked at her with raised eyebrows. "What can't I place a bet?"

"Sure you can." George smiled at the older woman. "I bet Freddie."

"Really?" Bill asked surprised looking between Fred and George. "Can I change my bet then? Because you know him better than anyone."

"Nope sorry. You already placed your bet. Ginny, Hermione?"

"No I don't think I will participate."

"Me neither." Ginny shrugged.

"Ok but Hermione if you have a secret boyfriend in Romania let us know right." Bill grinned and winked at her. Fred scowled at his brother before he caught George's eye who shook his head. Fred replaced his scowl and leaned back.

"Yeah Granger let us know if you have a Romanian lover will you." He winked at her and she stuck out her tongue.

They played for a couple hours. Andromeda, Teddy left with Bill, Fleur and Victoire as the kids needed to get to bed. After that Molly and Arthur stood up leaving for bed. Molly turned the last seconds and looked at Hermione and Charlie.

"Where are you guys staying?"

"Mum, Hermione has her flat remember. I'm staying there to."

"And I'm bunking with the twins for the night. We leave tomorrow."

"Oh ok. Come say goodbye will you?"

"Sure will mum. Goodnight."

"Goodnight kids." And she followed her husband upstairs.
