~~*- an afternoon of Muggle chores
"Soap," Mrs.Weasley said, pointed to the liquid soap,"Sponge,"she pointed to the sponge, "Water," she said, waving her wand over the washbasin, water poured from the tip,"Ginny, you take these dishes," she said, holding up one, demonstrating," and you put it in the water like so, and u put the soap on it, like so, then u scrub and rinse, like so," she said, holding up a shining new dish," See? easy, and Hermione will help you, wont you Hermione?"she asked, waving her wand and moving tons of dirty dishes to the side of the basin.
Hermione nodded, glancing over at the mountain size pile of dishes," sure. . . no problem. . ."
Mrs.Weasley grinned,"I knew you would, if Ginny starts to mess up, correct her, will you?"
Hermione smiled weakly and nodded. Mrs.Weasley gave the girls a small smile then walked off muttering,"Finally Ginnys learning."
Ginny groaned and stomped her foot,"Not fair! Since when has mum been interested in muggle chores?" She sighed and reached over the washbasin towards the radio, a muggle radio of course, Hermione assumed it was Mr.Weasleys," How do you work these things?" Ginny asked, switching around the dials and pressing all the buttons, finally slamming her fist on the radio hard in frustration," Urgh! Hermione help please?" Hermione simply leaned over, switched on the 'ON' button on the side and music started to play.
Ginny blushed," I didn't know it had switch on the side." Hermione and Ginny both laughed and turned to the dishes, half way through the gigantic pile of dishes, Hermiones favorite song came on," Oh! I love this song!" she exclaimed, leaning over, turning up the volume.
Ginny listened a moment to the lyrics, with a look of curiosity on her face.
Ginnys not used to listening to muggle music, Hermione thought.
I need love love, to ease my mind, I need to find find, someone to call mine, but mamma said, 'cant hurry love, noo you'll just have to wait, she said love dont come easy, its a game of give and take.
Ginny smiled as she began to learn the lyrics, pretty soon Hermione and Ginny were singing along, doing the dishes.
Half way during the song Ginny picked up a pile of foam from the wash basin and threw it at Hermione, Hermione looked up in shock and amusement, Ginny just smirked and stuck her tongue out at her.
"Oh, funny real funny" Hermione shouted over the music, she scooped her hand in the sink and pulled out a dripping pile of foam and flung it at Ginny, hitting her in the face.
Both the girls shrieked with laughter than turned back to the foam, singing out loud, while having a foam fight.
" I REMEMBER MAMMA SAYING, YOU CANT HURRY LOVE! NOO YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT! SHE SAYS LOVE DONT COME EASY ITS A GAME OF GIVE AND TAKE , I CANT HURRY LOVE, NO YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT, SHE SAID TRUST GIVE TIME NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES, GOTTA WAIT! " Hermione and Ginny sang on top of there lungs, flinging at each other, mounds of foaming soap, getting each other drenched, but happy.
Laughing, and still singing along, Ron came in from outside. He stopped in the door way, noticing Hermione and Ginnys little 'girlie moment' and stepped back quietly, watching them.
" NO LOVE LOVE DONT COME EASY, BUT I KEEP ON WAITING, ANTICIPATING FOR THAT SOFT VOICE TO TALK TO ME AT NIGHT , FOR SOME TENDER ARMS TO HOLD ME TIGHT!" Hermione sang loudly," I KEEP WAITING, I KEEP ON WAITING, BUT IT AINT EASY , IT AINT EASY , NO YOU KNOW IT AINT EASY!," Ginny finished, throwing a huge heap of foam at Hermione, Hermione ducked and it flew past her, hitting Ron in the stomach.
"Urgh! Ginny watch it!" Ron bellowed, forgetting that he was trying to be quiet, he was quite enjoying watching them mess around, watching Hermione being so happy.
Hermione gasped and turned around, Ginny clapped her hand over her mouth, her cheekbones and forehead going redder than her hair.
"How long have you... been there Ron?" Hermione demanded, turning a bit red herself.
Ron grinned and lifted his hands into the air, singing in a high false pitched voice," LOVE DONT COME EASY! TENDER ARMS HOLD ME TIGHT!" he sang, getting half the words wrong.
Hermione almost collapsed right there on the floor.
Oh God, she thought miserably, Why the hell aren't I more aware when hes around?
Ron smirked," Dont worry 'Mione, Gin, I though it was cute," he said, walking over to the counter, grabbing a towel and began to rub his shirt dry," I'll let you two continue your little 'singing fest', Im going up stairs to take a shower," he said, walking out of the room with a twisted smile on his face.
Hermione walked to the table and sank down in the chair, embarrassed,
SHE SAID LOVE DONT COME EASY, ITS A GAME OF GIVE OR TAKE, The song ended.
After that song, Ginny turned of the radio and she and Hermione finished the dishes in silence.
****
"Plate," 'Plate,' "Bowl," 'Bowl,' Hermione was handing the dry dishes to Ginny, Hermione was drying the final dishes, while Ginny put them away.
Ginny, very aware of her friends embarrassed, flush face, tried to ease her out of the embarrassment.
"C'mon Herm, It isn't *that* awful!" she insisted,"Why are you soo embarrassed?"
Hermione just sighed, handing her the final plate,"Im going to take a bath ok?" she said as she turned to stairs," Tell your mum that we finished... finally.. If you see Ron then.."
There was a short pause.
"Then..?"Ginny questioned, setting the final plate in the cabinet.
"Then.. oh, um.. never mind, see ya!" Hermione said quickly as she climbed the stairs quickly towards the washroom.
