"Cheese!" Hermione cried, trying to get his attention from across the mass of people swarming the Quidditch pitch.
"Hermy!" Cheese called back, waving his diploma high above his head like a beacon. He forced his way over towards them. He hugged Hermione, then turned towards Ron, who was currently trying to hit a bug that was flying around his head. It landed on his nose, he took careful aim, and...WHACK!
"Hermione, how'd you get related to someone so weird?" Cheese asked, looking at Ron, who was currently holding his head. The fly had escaped unharmed.
"Don't you dare make fun of my husband, or you won't get your graduation gift." She teased back.
"Hey! Don't make fun of me, period." Ron tried to look threatening.
"Ronnie, you can't hate me now, I'm your cousin-in-law." Cheese grinned. "Plus I'm the one who got you two together in the first place."
"Only good thing you ever did." Ron laughed. "Er, Hermione, I think your aunt and uncle are looking for you."
"Oh, what now?" She sighed, before heading in the general direction of where they had been sitting before.
Once she was gone, Ron pulled a bag from his pocket. "Got you a little graduation present of my own, Cheesy."
Cheese looked down at the bag, read the label, then gaped at Ron.
"Swedish fish?" He swallowed hard. "You knew I was b.s'ing the whole fish thing that night?"
"I had just done a report on Muggle candy, Cheesy." Ron grinned. "I ate about half a ton of these things. Very addictive."
Cheese looked at Ron in amazement. "You knew I was setting you two up." It wasn't a question, it was a statement. Ron just nodded.
Cheese looked down at the bag again, then threw his arms around Ron.
"I knew you two were perfect for each other." He said, squeezing the breath out of Ron. "She never stopped talking about you when she came to visit." He finally let go when Ron started turning red, and Hermione returned.
"Quick, hide those!" Ron hissed. Cheese shoved the bag under his cloak as she rejoined them.
"Oh, it was nothing, Ron." She said. "But Dumbledore wanted to talk to you."
"No rest for the weary." Ron laughed. "I'll be right back." He winked at Cheese before leaving.
Hermione watched his back as he left. Turning to Cheese, she said, "Don't tell Ron, but I got you a present of my own."
"Really?" Cheese looked down at the bag she had presented him. "Swedish fish? Hermione, you...you knew I was setting you up that night?" He looked at her in shock.
"Your as bad as Ron, Cheese." She laughed. "Just because I'm a dentist's daughter, doesn't mean I've never had candy before."
"No, I mean, I knew you ate candy, it's just..." Before Cheese could finish his thought, Hermione spotted Ron returning.
"Quick, hide them!" She snapped.
He shoved them beneath his cloak again, rolling his eyes discreetly.
"It was nothing." Ron said to Hermione. "So, are we ready to go to the Graduation Party?"
"Yeah." Cheese smiled. "It's gonna be sweet."
