Hermione heard a unsettling noise come from the kitchen. She was upstairs in her bedroom, try to read a book called " How to defend yourself" but her mind kept wandering away. With that last jumble, she put down her book and went downstairs. She carefully looked at all the rooms of the house she was living in, which was not much. She checked the living room and the dining room that she had hardly even used and ended with the kitchen. She looked at the microwave and felt a wave of extreme worry come over her. What is wrong? Where are they?She looked around the empty kitchen, as if searching for them in a game of hide and seek. But she knew better than that.
"Where in the hell are they?" she said to herself in frustration
She got up and went to the refrigerator and lingered there for a few minutes, trying to relax herself. She then reached for a bottled water for lack of anything else and sat back down at the table. She had been sitting for maybe five minutes when she heard the familiar voices, they sounded faraway but they were getting closer.
" That was a pretty stupid meeting." Ron said clearly as he and Harry apparted into the kitchen, about 2 feet from where Hermione was standing.
" Where were you, you idiotic gits?" she yelled at them. She was now on her feet with her bottle of water quivering under her angry grasp.
" What? What's wrong?" Harry spoke caught a little off guard. Hermione never yelled at them unless something was seriously wrong.
" Where were you? Answer me!" Hermione was now glaring at them both with an intensity. Her eyes were practically on fire with the anger she was feeling
W- we had a meeting at work. You know you should be thanking us for-" Ron didn't get to finish his sentence.
" WHAT? You want me to thank YOU for making me wait here for you guys to get your arse back home?"
" No we want you to-" Ron was yet again cut off again, this time by Harry.
" Ron did you see what time it was?" he tried to say as quiet as possible. He didn't want Hermione to yell at him again.
" Yes that's right! What time is it? Maybe you could CHECK?" Hermione said. She hadn't heard Harry's exact words but she knew by the look on his face that he had gotten the idea.
" 10:55? Hermione I'm really sorry. I am a git! An idiotic one at that!" Ron said in a rush.
MuSiCcHaRmEdcHiK: " You know the rule guys, just check the time next time!" She went up and hugged Ron and Harry, who hugged them back.
" Well that was great, but I'm beat, I'm going to bed. " Hermione and Harry said goodnight to Ron and turned to each other when he had gone upstairs.
.
" We really didn't know. Mr. Fudge didn't say anything about how long we had been in there. I still can't believe he made us go in today. We've only been planning this for 3 months."
" You can't exactly plan when evil decides to attack."
" I know but every 5 seconds Fudge or someone who is a bloody boss was whining about you not being there. I mean you're allowed to have a day off, after what happened." Hermione smiled at Harry.
" Harry the snake didn't scare me that bad." Hermione was trying to rationalize. She had put her arms around Harry's waist to try and relax him.
Yes it did, Hermione, I was there. You almost died. You deserve to have one day off to have fun." Harry had now relaxed and was staring at Hermione.
" I know. I still had a great day, besides the last three hours." Hermione looked at Harry and they leaned in to kiss each other. They kissed and Hermione let go and looked at him in confusion.
" What meeting lasts 3 hours long? Is it Voldemort?"
MuSiCcHaRmEdcHiK: " No not Voldemort. Its just that Fudge would not shut up about you not being there. Every little step we did in the process of the meeting he had to point out that you weren't there." Harry body was becoming tense again. Hermione put her hand on his face and looked in his green eyes, which were looking rather mad at the moment. " What did you do?" she asked
" After he told me that he demanded that you come in to the meeting because this wasn't Hogwarts and you weren't allowed to skip because of one stupid bite,I lost it!! I'm sorry, Hermione. I yelled at him about you being able to have one day off after not taking one for 5 years!"
MuSiCcHaRmEdcHiK: " He really said that? You really said that?" Hermione wasn't mad at Harry at all. On the contrary, she was feeling rather special at the moment. Harry never yelled at anyone unless under severe conditions. He had yelled at Fudge, the head of their branch at the Ministry, they could be fired. That is if she and Harry and Ron weren't the most successful Auror team in the history of the branch.
" Yes. You're not mad." He said it as a statement, he was surprised though. He thought Hermione would be mad at yelling at their boss
" No, I know Fudge would be ornery today. I'm just glad you or Ron didn't beat him up." Harry laughed at Hermione's sarcastic joke. He hugged her and they stood there for a moment until something else disrupted their happiness. Hedwig came flapping through the living room, its big white-snow wings looking rather lovely in the dark house . He was also carrying a rather large envelope. Hedwig stopped in front of Harry and let the envelope drop in his now outstretched hand. Hermione looked at it with curiosity. Fudge or any of their superiors usually didn't send a new assignment until the early morning. She assumed that the envelope had been the reason of the meeting.
" No way we are reading this now." Harry said as he flung the envelope across the room. Hedwig rustled its wings and went over by the window to eat some of the food Hermione had set out for it.
MuSiCcHaRmEdcHiK: " What was that?" She was going to walk across the room to pick up the envelope that had landed on the floor but Harry took her hands.
" After Ron and I were called to work on the day we were suppose to be free, and right in the middle of a muggle club too, there is no way you are reading this tonight. You are having fun and relaxing." Harry had that determination in his voice where Hermione knew there was no way he was going to change his mind. Not that she wanted to.
" I love you." she spoke as she took his hand and then started running up the stairs to her bedroom. She was going to have fun alright, with the man she loves.
"Where in the hell are they?" she said to herself in frustration
She got up and went to the refrigerator and lingered there for a few minutes, trying to relax herself. She then reached for a bottled water for lack of anything else and sat back down at the table.
