Hi
Here's the next chapter.
I'm leaving for new york tomorrow so I just wanted to post one more chapter before I left. Cause I'm not sure if I'll have internet when i'm there.
Hope you guys enjoy.
Read and Review :)
"Girls your numbers will tell you the three kids that you will be taking care of. The goal is to take care of them and entertain them anyway you can. You can take them somewhere or just whatever. By the end I will personally talk to the kids and then they will get to vote on who they think deserves to be saved."
Hermione watched as Oliver bent down to talk to the kids.
"Kids these girls, women have not all been around kids their whole lives. They don't always know how to… uh care for kids. So please go easy on them."
The kids nodded.
"But when we talk you can vent all you want. Believe me some of you may have to." Oliver whispered. Some of the kids giggled at the words.
Oliver stood up. "Girls I will tell you this. The woman that I will marry one day has to be able to care for kids. So I do take this very seriously and I hope you all will give these children a fun time. These children are only some of the orphans from the war two years ago."
Hermione blinked. One thought ran through her head. Teddy. She almost fell to the ground.
"Hermione!" Oliver yelled suddenly when he saw Hermione falter.
Rianne and Gerry made a move to grab Hermione before she could fall but Hermione leaned on Rianne to steady.
"I'm okay. I'm okay. Oliver I'm fine." Hermione said looking at Oliver stopping him in his tracks.
Oliver still looked unsure. "Girls if you would put your numbers in front of you so that the kids can tell who they go to."
All the girls did as told and Oliver told the kids to go to their assigned person but instead all of them crowded around Hermione.
"Are you really Hermione Granger?" One of the boys asked.
"Yes." Hermione said bending down.
"So your engaged to The Harry Potter!" A girl exclaimed.
Hermione laughed. "No sweetheart. I'm his best friend. Actually I'm the maid of honor at his wedding to my friend Ginny."
"Oh." The girl said depressed.
"So then will you marry Mr. Wood?" A different boy asked.
Hermione, Oliver and just about everybody else was taken by surprise.
"You have to marry Mr. Oliver! We watch this show all the time but only because it's Mr. Oliver." A girl said.
"We wouldn't be allowed otherwise. All the ladies that work at the orphanage really like him. A lot. Whenever he comes to teach us quidditch they all start blushing and stuttering. They are obsessed with the show they imagine that their you all the time especially after last night." A boy added.
Hermione's eyes widened.
"What!" One of the contestants screeched.
Gerry bent down too.
"Wait what happened last night?"
"We saw Mr. Oliver and Ms. Granger making the quidditch figurines and having a food fight!" A little girl said smiling showing a missing tooth.
"Yeah it was really funny when she threw the bludger at him." A boy said.
"My favorite was when she told him she had a crush with this Flint guy and he started choking." Another boy said.
Alicia joined them. She turned to look at Hermione giving her a arched eyebrow.
"I was just joking. I swear." Hermione said.
"I feel left out." Rianne said joining them.
"Hey did anything else interesting happen?" Gerry asked the kids.
"Yeah!" The same boy from before answered. "When Ms. Hermione was icing the cake he stared at her like this." Then the boy started to stare at Hermione… with a longing look.
Oliver listened to the kids in complete utter shock. Oh god there are cameras everywhere. He thought groaning.
Hermione was blushing like crazy. She turned to look at Oliver to see him blushing too. Then she turned back to the boy and looked at his shirt. It said 10.
"Um its ok you can stop staring now." Hermione said ruffling his hair.
"Okay!" The kid said going back to his cheery self. "I'm lucky I got you. Everybody else is going to be so jealous." The kid said clinging to Hermione.
Hermione smiled at him.
"That's not fair." "I want to be with Ms. Hermione!" Several boys and girls said.
Another boy and a girl came to stand next to the boy. Hermione noticed that they also had number 10 shirts on.
"I guess I'll be taking care of you two too."
They both nodded.
A girl started to cry. Everybody turned to stare at her. "I'm with the ugly lady! I want to be with Ms. Hermione!" She said pointing to Taty who you could say was a little scary to a little girl. Taty was dressed in leopard print party dress that was one shouldered. She also had a lot of make up on like you see on the crazy fashion shows… and a pair of stiletto black knee high boots.
Taty looked outraged. "Excuse me? This is what they wear at London's hottest clubs!"
"Yeah well you look scary to a bunch of five, six, and seven year olds." Rianne said.
Taty flushed red.
Oliver knew that he was going to have to be the peace keeper here. "Kids I know you all want to be with Ms. Hermione but I need you guys to help me out please." All the kids turned to look at Oliver.
"Oh alright we'll go to the ugly lady." A boy said walking to Taty.
"You you br- Angel!" Taty changed her sentence before she could finish remembering the competition. Unfortunately the kid wasn't fooled.
"You are one mean lady. I don't like how you treat Ms. Hemione." The boy said looking up at her defiantly.
Hermione, Gerry, Rianne, and Alicia all shared a look before exploding into laughter.
Oliver stifled a laugh too by coughing. Tatyana looked about ready to explode.
"Yes well kids let's take Bruno's example and disperse to our person." Oliver said.
Eventually with much reluctance the kids all moved to stand by their caretakers for the day. Well one girl wouldn't. The crying girl wouldn't go to Taty.
Hermione bent down by the girl. She out her arms around the girls waist delicately. She pulled the girl into her arms. "Shh sweetie. It's okay. Tatyana's not really mean. She's just sometimes jealous and it makes her say mean things and do things she normally wouldn't do."
"But but…"
Hermione separated herself from the girl a little. She reminded her so much of Fleur and Bill's little girl Violet. She lightly lifted the little girl's chin.
"What's your name sweetheart?"
"Mya."
"That's a pretty name. How about this Mya? I'll promise to come visit one day and I'll even try to bring Harry Potter and Ron Weasley with me. I also bet Ginny, Neville, Luna and some of my other friends will join us."
"Really?" The girl brightened up.
"Yes of course."
"Okay. I'll try." The girl said softly.
"That's all you have to do."
"This is going to be weird having a floating camera following us all day." Gerry said staring at the camera suspended in the air.
"Yeah." Rianne said looking at the four cameras.
"So I guess we have to separate." Alicia said.
"I think so." Hermione said.
"So good luck girls." Rianne said.
"You too." Hermione said. All four hugged before taking their three children and going their separate ways.
Rianne was the only one to have all three girls. "Maria, Amy, and Frannie right?"
They nodded.
"So who wants to do what today?"
"Ice cream!" The three girls chimed together. Because the orphanage was not exactly filling with galleons they only had ice cream on the special holidays and when Oliver Wood would come with his team and bring ice cream and quidditch equipment to teach them. The kids would always want to go to ice cream parlors when a potential parent came to meet them.
"My name's Cammie, this is Jessica, and this is Tommy." One of the girls introduced.
Gerry had two girls and one boy that was so lovely it was a shame that he was a boy. He had the longest eye lashes Gerry had ever seen. His eyes were the ocean blue that she had only seen before on famous TV. stars in Hollywood. He was all in all the cutest boy she had ever set eyes on. In the muggle and magical world. She wanted to just scoop him up and spoil him rotten but refrained instead she decided to do one of her favorite hobbies in the world. Shopping.
"Tyson." One of the boys answered.
"Philip."
"Red."
"Are you really named Red?" Alicia asked.
The boy nodded.
"His real name's Redford." Phillip said clearing everything up.
"Oh I don't blame you." Alicia said ruffling Redford's hair. "So who likes quidditch?"
All three raised their hands.
"Excellent. We're going to visit a real professional quidditch team practice."
"Cool!" One of the boys said.
"What team?"
"The Westgate Winged Horses."
"Doesn't Roger Davies play on that team?"
"Yep."
"But how will we get in? Are you friends with someone important?"
"I'm the ex-girlfriend of one of the players and he owes me."
"Oh." All three boys said together.
"So first I want to know all your names." Hermione said.
"Tony." The curly haired blonde answered.
"Yulisa." The little girl said looking Hermione with doe eyes.
"I like your name alot Yulisa."
"Thank you." The girl smiled up.
"Oliver." The boy that had demonstrated how Oliver stared at her earlier said.
Hermione bit her lip to stop from laughing. It was too big of a coincidence.
"Do you guys have anything in mind or would you like me to surprise you guys?" Hermione asked them smiling, still trying to keep herself from laughing.
"The surprise!" The kids chirped together.
"Okay." Hermione said smiling. "First let me call someone to see if he wants to join us." Hermione said whipping out her cell phone.
"What's that?" Yulisa asked looking at her cell phone.
Hermione looked at her cell phone in confusion then remembered that they probably weren't familiar to the muggle contraption.
"It's a phone. I can call someone even when they are miles away." Hermione explained.
"You don't use owls?"
"No Yulis-" Hermione stopped though when the person on the other line finally answered.
"Hello Hermione? Is something wrong?" Harry said sounding worried from the other side.
"Hey Harry. Nothing's wrong but-"
"Are you really talking to The Harry Potter?" Tony said in amazement.
"Hermione was that a kid?" Harry asked.
"Yeah Harry. It's part of the competition. We have to take care of three kids all day. They're orphans from th-"
"Do you need anything? Can I help?" Harry said cutting her off.
Hermione playfully stuck out her tongue a little knowing that just mentioning that the kids were orphans would get to Harry.
"Well if you're not busy with wedding plans or work with the ministry I wanted to know if you could spare some time to help me take the kids to The Milky Way amusement park in Devon?"
"Sure I need a break from the wedding anyway. Especially since my fiance's maid of honor has suddenly become invalid. So she's been taking me to everything."
"Ah I'm sorry Harry."
"It's ok. So do you want to meet in there?"
"Yeah."
"How are you going to take the kids? We can't apparate with them."
"I'm going to call George to see if he can bring the flying car to transport us."
"Oh. That's a good idea. I would've never thought of that. I guess this is why they call you mine and Ron's brains aye?"
Hermione laughed from the other end. "I'll meet you there in an hour?"
"Ok. See you Hermione. Love you."
"Love you too Harry." Hermione said before hanging up.
"Sorry guys I just have to make one more call." Hermione apologized to the three kids.
"It's ok." Oliver said.
The other two nodded.
"Thanks guys." Hermione said.
A faint hello came from the other line.
"Mr. Weasley?"
"Hello I can't hear anything? Hello?" Mr. Weasley said still faint.
"Mr. Weasley you have the phone upside down!" Hermione yelled.
"Oh." Came from the other line. "Hello Hermione. I'm sorry. I just forget which side is which all the time."
"It's ok Mr. Weasley. You bought one of the old dial phones. Everyone used to do it back then." I think. Hermione silently thought.
"Well that makes me feel less incompetent. Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Yeah. Could I talk to George? It's a Sunday so I assumed the shop wasn't open."
"It isn't. You caught us at a good time. George! Hermione needs you." Mr. Weasley hollered.
Hermione waited a few seconds. "Mione? Do you need something?"
"Yeah. Could you bring your car and drive me and my kids to an amusement park?"
"Hermione you were pregnant? I bloody didn't know that? How'd you hide it? None of us could've ever known." George said from the other line. "What!" An outraged voice said from the back ground that sounded much like Ron. "Give me that!"
"Hermione what the bloody hell-"
"I'm taking care of some kids for the show. They're orphans from the war." Hermione cut him off.
"Oh. Sorry Mione I'll give the phone back to George." Ron apologized.
Hermione rolled her eyes from the other side.
"So where do I pick you and the kids up?" George asked.
After telling George, Hermione walked up to the floating camera.
"We're going to a muggle theme park so I need you to make the camera invisible. It might freak some people if they see a floating camera following me."
After she said it the camera disappeared from view.
"What's a theme park?" Tony asked tugging on Hermione's hand.
It was 8 and Hermione was the last to come in. She held Oliver in her arms who was fast asleep. Behind came two surprises. Harry Potter was carrying a barely awake Tony and George was carrying the dead weight of Yulisa.
Some girls gasped in shock and delight. Frankly in the wizarding world they were two of the most wanted bachelors. Well Harry wouldn't be a bachelor very long but still. Harry had tons of money, was the head of communications in the Ministry of magic, and the greatest war hero of all time since he was baby. And George was the owner of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes which made millions of Galleons each year, he wasn't considered a bad catch at all. Plus both guys looked simply drool worthy carrying the kids like they were.
"Did all the kids eat dinner?" Oliver asked.
Yeahs were echoed from the kids.
Oliver turned to look at Hermione.
"Yeah they ate at the park. Maybe a little too much thus their state right now."
Harry and George nodded.
"Oh well could you guys wake them up for a while they need to vote."
"We'll try." Hermione answered. "Oliver honey. You need to wake up." Hermione said stroking his hair.
"Mommy can I sleep more." Oliver mumbled before snuggling into Hermione's neck again.
Hermione's heart stopped. Her heart ached for the little boy that just stole her heart right then and there with those five words.
"Honey you have to wake." Hermione whispered into his ear.
"Okay okay." The boy said lifting his head a little but it quickly fell back down on Hermione's shoulders. Hermione laughed lightly. "Oliver there's ice cream."
Little Oliver's head shot up. "Ice cream!"
Just about everyone laughed even some of the girls that didn't exactly like Hermione so much.
