Never being on a cruise before, the Weasley's were very excited, and so was Harry. He and Ron had changed into swim trunks and followed the twins out to where they had found the pool. Mrs. Weasley and Mrs. Granger were both sunbathing and Mr. Weasley was sitting next to Mr. Granger, their feet in the pool water, as Mr. Granger explained the rules of Golf and Shuffleboard. Ron was walking next to Harry with a towel draped over his shoulders and stopped when he saw Ginny and Hermione.
"Hello ladies!" said Fred excitedly when he had spotted them. They were both sitting with their feet in the water and talking with out a care. Ron's face went slightly red when they went up closer. Both girls were wearing bikinis and acting as though it was nothing. Harry grinned and dropped down next to Ginny. Reluctantly, Ron took the spot next to Hermione.
"We were wondering when you guys were going to get h ere." She said cheerfully.
"Why haven't you gotten into the water yet?" asked Harry and there was a sudden huge wave of water that hit them as the Weasley twins dove into the water as if to impress any girls. Their heads popped up and they waved over at the group.
"You see us 'Mione! I bet Ickle Ronnikins wouldn't do that much for you!" called George with a wide grin. Ron glared at his older brothers, pushing hair out of his face.
"Bet you I would!" he called out, Hermione went a bit pink by his sudden outburst.
"Prove it!" called Fred. Ron got up and pulled Harry up with him.
"What's the big deal?" Harry asked, Ron obviously didn't notice that he was flirting with Ginny the whole time. Ron whispered something to Harry that made him snort.
"What ever you say bro." He said and sat down next to Ginny. Ron ran to the other end of the pool near the twins and cupped his hands over his mouth.
"CANNON BALL!" he called and jumped in. A few people screamed and the twins tried to quickly swim away. Mrs. Weasley had jumped up, ready to scold her sons, and Mr. Weasley was chuckling.
"Nice Ron!" he called as his youngest son's head popped up from under the water. Harry grinned and gave him thumbs up.
"Well, I suppose we can leave you kids alone." Said Mrs. Granger, standing up. "We're going to show the Weasleys around, Hermione. You know the rules so keep every one in control please." Said her mother and the adults left. The twins had obviously called Ron into the water for nothing more than to torture him, so now Harry was trying hard to wrestle the twins off of Ron while Ginny and Hermione watched.
"Hermione Granger." Came a voice, and they all turned around to see a girl who Ginny figured would do great in Slytherin, came up with her hands on her hips. "Shouldn't you be some where putting spells on people?" she asked and Hermione turned around, glaring at her.
"She's a muggle." Said Ginny suddenly, looking at the girl. "How would she know what you are?" she asked and Hermione explained everything and added the fact that every one thinks Hermione goes to a boarding school for the school year, so no one believes the girl.
"Hmm, who are those boys? They're a bit cute." Said the girl and began to walk across the side of the pool with an extra swish in her hips. Fred and George had suddenly stopped trying to force Ron under water and stared up at her. Ron and Harry did too.
"Those perverts." Muttered Ginny, her and Hermione glaring in their direction until Ron said the stupidest thing they thought possible to say to a girl trying to get a guys attention.
"Do you have a crap or something cuz you're walking kind of. weird."
"Yeah, we can help you to the nurse or something." Said George. She glared sown at the grinning red heads and Harry who had fallen over and was laughing hysterically. She tossed her hair and walked angrily away. The twins both shrugged and began to wrestle Ron again. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"GET OUT!" Yelled Ron, pounding on the bathroom door later that evening as the group got ready for an evening out together. Harry was lying on Ginny's bed as they waited for their turn in the bathroom. Hermione knocked on the door in a certain beat and Ginny let her in before slamming the door closed again.
"C'mon Ron, you know how girls are." Said Harry. "We can ask to use the twins' bath room."
"Harry, do you really want to be taking a shower with the twins around?" Ron asked and Harry sighed and got up to help Ron force the girls out of the bathroom. It was a good hour before the boys were finally let in. Mr. Weasley had just came in when the boys were ready.
"What's taking you so long? We were just about to see how muggles party!" he announced, now wearing a bright Hawaiian shirt. He was very excited and determined to see how muggles lived with out magic. Ron followed everyone out the cabin, trying to hold up his extra large jeans up as he followed. Mr. Weasley noticed this and put a charm to keep the pants from falling off his son's butt. They soon entered a large room full of muggles and music.
"Wicked." Said all the Weasley kids, obviously impressed. Fred and George ran to the food table while Harry and Ron looked around with great curiosity.
"Hello there lads." Said an old man, coming up to Harry and Ron. "I'm the captain of this ship. Who are your parents exactly?"
"They're with me." Said Hermione, coming up to Harry's side with Ginny.
"Ah, Miss Granger. I heard you'd be bringing guest." He said cheerfully and Hermione smiled.
"All the red heads and him are with our family, Mr. Jones." Said Hermione, and introduced them all. "We'll be watching closely after them." She added as Fred and George went chasing each other around with lobsters that were suppose to be eaten. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Fred had to admit; muggles really know how to have fun. He and George were still chasing each other with their lobster dinners, when something familiar caught his eye. "Angelina?" he said, and stopped to see who it was.
"FRED!" she cheered and jumped on the shocked red head. "What are you doing here? I thought you were going to stay home during the summer." she said, grinning up at him.
"No, Hermione invited our family along. what are you doing here?"
"A muggle my dad met gave our family four tickets for a vacation cruise. George, Alicia's here too!" she called over at the confused red head standing not too far behind his copy.
"Is she in here?" asked George hopefully and Angelina pointed over at the DJ booth. George ran off quickly and rushed past Ron, Harry and Hermione.
"Looks like we won't be seeing much of the twins."
