Next Chapter!
"Bye Harry, Ron." Hermione said as she closed the door behind her two friends. Hermione leaned against the heavy oak doors and slid down. "Oh thank god. I'm free, I'm free."
She looked up as she heard laughter. It was Gerry and Alicia.
"I love those two." Alicia said laughing.
"Totally." Gerry agreed.
"You wouldn't after they spent three days hovering over you. Ron even had to test taste my food to make sure it wasn't poisoned then ended up eating half of it including his own share."
Alicia laughed. "I remember him at Hogwarts. He loved food then."
"Still loves it now." Hermione muttered.
"So you ready to meet the parents?" Alicia asked after she calmed down.
"Do we have a choice?"
"Nope."
"You got your answer."
Hermione looked over her bruises in the mirror. It wasn't bad, the potion helped a lot. But some were still slightly yellow.
"I have magical make up!" Gerry chimed as she saw her friend observing the injuries. "It works like…magic!"
"Really." Hermione said laughing at her friend.
Oliver was with his parents at his childhood home. "Are you guys sure you want to do this? Because I could ask the producers now to change it last minute. We've done it before."
"Yes son we want to do this." Mr. Wood said.
"Of course we would want to do this I mean now I can brag to all my friends that I got to help my son with his love life. Now how many of them can say that." Mrs. Wood said proudly. "Now about this Hermione Granger…"
"Mum!"
"I'm not using the chimney. My dress will get ruined!" Nina exclaimed.
"Oh get over yourself." Gerry said rolling her eyes.
"Nina just Scourgify yourself if you get dirty." Hermione said.
Nina glared.
"Oh for goodness sake's are you going or what?" Alicia asked impatiently.
"If my dress get's ruined-"
"If your dress get's ruined good riddance. It's creepy seeing a person wearing a dead animal around their neck." Alicia said before moving Nina out of the way then stepped in the fireplace.
"I'm gonna go. See you all there." Alicia waved. "Wood Residence." She yelled as she dropped some floo powder.
"You know I just thought of a solution Nina!" Daisy yelled clapping her hands together. Everybody turned to look at her expectantly. "You can wear a sack then change when you get to Ollie's house!"
Hermione and some of the girls just blinked as they looked at Daisy.
Gerry coughed to hide her laugh.
"Why aren't you a blond?" Nina seethed.
This time all the girls there started to giggle.
"I can't believe that Nina can make a joke." Gerry whispered.
"I know but I'm not so sure if it was meant to be a joke."
"It was a bit mean the way she said it. But thank goodness Daisy doesn't understand that."
It was at last only Hermione and Nina.
"Oh my gods Nina just go." Hermione said pushing the annoying girl.
"I'm not ruining my dress!"
"What do you care more about Oliver or your stupid dress?" Hermione yelled frustrated.
Nina was silent. "Fine, where's the floo powder?"
"In the cauldron right there." Hermione sighed.
"How much do I grab?"
"A handful."
"Okay." She grabbed a handful. "Oh opps." Nina said as she accidentally knocked over said cauldron.
"Where's Mione?" Oliver asked as he noticed that all the girls were there but her.
Alicia and Gerry looked at each other while the Woods looked a bit appalled.
"We're not sure Oliver, she should be right behind Nina." Gerry said.
"Nina where's Mione?" Alicia asked turning to look at the girl.
"I don't know I accidentally knocked over the thingy with the powder and she told me to just go and she would clean it up." Nina shrugged.
Gerry and Alicia stared at her.
"Accident my arse." Gerry muttered underneath her breath.
"Why didn't you tell us before?!" Alicia exclaimed.
"I didn't think it would cause her to be late."
"I'm going to go back to check on her." Oliver said walking to the chimney.
"Of course dear." Mrs. Wood said smiling.
As Oliver was about to grab some floo powder, Hermione came tumbling out of the chimney. She fell on Oliver causing him to fall over.
"Uh hi Oliver." Hermione said on top of Oliver.
"Hey." Oliver said slowly barely believing the position they were in.
"Sorry about that." Hermione said sitting up so now she was straddling Oliver's waist.
"No problem." Oliver said giving a boyish smile. "No problem at all."
"Wow Mione, you sure know how to make an entrance." Alicia said laughing.
Hermione blushed as she realized what position she was in.
Hermione was helped up by Alicia and Gerry.
"Hello I'm Ophelia Wood and this is my husband Owen." A really pretty woman introduced herself. She had light brown hair and blue eyes. She sounded like as if she had a slight British accent.
"Hullo." The man beside her said bringing a hand out to shake.. Hermione noted that he was really handsome and his accent was even thicker than Oliver's. He had a bit reddish brown hair and hazel eyes. Other than the hair he looked just like Oliver.
"Good afternoon Mr. Mrs. Wood. My name's Hermione Granger." Hermione said shaking Mr. Wood's hand then turned to do the same to Mrs. Wood but she was pulled into a hug.
"Oh we know." Mrs. Wood said smiling in a knowing way.
"Well now that everyone is here, let's have lunch!" Mrs. Wood chimed.
"So Daisy is it?" Mrs. Wood asked.
"Yes m'am."
"So what is it that you do?"
"I'm a columnist writer."
"Oh." Mrs. Wood said.
Hermione Oliver and the girls all shared a look. Nina even looked interested for once.
"What is it you write?"
"Oh all sorts of things. Like I write about the latest clothes in style or the best colors for the season and such."
"That's nice."
"Thank you." Daisy said blushing.
"It all looks really good Mrs. Wood, Mr. Wood." Hermione and Pru said together.
"Thank you girls."
"Mrs. Wood what was Oliver like when he was little?" Gerry asked.
"Oh just call me Ophelia please." Mrs. Wood insisted.
"Mum don't." Oliver moaned. "Dad help me."
"I'm staying out of this one." Mr. Wood said focusing on his sandwich.
"Oh Oliver hated wearing clothes when he was little. He used to refuse to go to the nursery school so he would strip and-"
"Mum!" Oliver cried.
"Then he would run around the house screaming at the top of his little lungs and I would have to chase him to put is clothes back on." Mrs. Wood said ignoring her son.
All the girls in the room giggled. Alicia ahed at Oliver while poking him.
"You must've been a cutie when you were little Ollie." Alicia said trying not to laugh.
"Ugh." Oliver groaned as he glared at her. "Mum please that's enough embarrassment today."
"Oh alright sweetheart but first you have to eat more. You and those teammates of yours are much too skinny for all that exercise you all do."
"Mum we don't starve ourselves."
"Of course not I'm not saying that. I'm just saying I can see your shoulder blades."
"Rinny feeds me all the time."
"I know I know." Mrs. Wood said brushing her son off.
Hermione caught Oliver's eye. She smiled trying to suppress her laughter. Oliver smiled at her before rolling his eyes while he mouthed mothers.
"Okay I'm just going to ask one question and please answer it truthfully all of you. Are any of you in love with my son truly?"
So now they met the parents!
Please review.
I'm expecting maybe another three or four chapters left so hope you will stay tuned.
