~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Chapter 13
Everyone was seated around the Weasley table, which had been bewitched once again to fit everyone. Mrs. Weasley started the lunch with a flick of her hand. Sandwiches began making themselves.
"Ok who wants to start?" Professor Dumbledor said, as he looked over at all the other occupants at the table. Everyone started talking at once, with a few giggles escaping out of some ones mouth when they remembered something particularly funny. Dumbledor held up his hand to silence everyone. "One at a time please, I am a talented man but not even I can listen to a house full of Weasley's; and guest; at one time."
Hermione giggled and began the story; "Well it all started with Percy. He had or has for that matter to do a paper about love potions. He asked all of us to join him in the experiment."
Dumbledor nodded; "Yes I know about this part, he owled me to see if Mr. Potter could come and stay here so he could help out with the paper. Go on."
Fred picked up from there, "We all were excited but Percy was anal about someone changing his potion, and I guess it was for good reason." Everyone sent sharp glances at Ron who slumped down in his chair as low as he could go. "Needless to say someone did get a hold on the potion and changed things all around."
"Yes, and cause havoc in this house that was not to particularly funny." Percy put in from his seat.
Hermione giggled and George looked at Percy; "That depends who you ask, I think you saying how sexy Fred was, was kind of funny. I also liked the little twirling danced you did in your room as you sung out Fred's name." Percy turned beat red and tried to hide his face in his hands. Everyone else was trying to hold in his or her laughter, even Dumbledor looked as if he wanted to laugh.
"Thank you George." "No problem Fred, continue with the story." "I think Hermione should take it from here my dear twin since it has a lot to do with her." "Why I agree my dear twin, Hermione if you will." The twins looked at Hermione and she smiled at them before she turned to Dumbledor to finish the story.
"Well Percy noticed the potions were off of course but we kept them that was because we figured it wouldn't mess up the experiment since it wasn't for someone to actually fall in love with someone else." AT this point Percy looks really guilty and turns away from everyone else in the room and puts his face in his hands.
Hermione not noticing Percy's reaction continued on with the story; "Well the person who switched everything around really made a mess of things. Having this person love someone but having them love another person. Total chaos. Anyways I notice the strange events going on and I decide to read up on love potions. I thought the information would be helpful to the experiment."
"Well I was looking for awhile, before I was stopped by Bill and his horrible pick up lines. No offense Bill." Bill grinned, "Non taken. How else was I supposed to impress the most brilliant witch Hogwarts have ever seen?" Hermione just rolled her eyes and returned to her story.
"Anyways I got him to leave me alone and finally found something about love potions. Well what was written there really disturbed me so I decided to talk to Percy about it. Well he was no help. WOW this is along story. Well to make this story short I figured out that Ron had been the one to switch the potions. So I owled you and got the counter curse from you and preformed it on everyone. Then I owled you again to see if you would help with the revenge plan and well you know the rest." Hermione smiled at the older man sitting across from her.
Dumbledors eyes twinkled with that familiar light in them, and turned to Bill; "Now Mr. Weasley, you still use those pickup lines you used when you were head boy?" Bill grinned and looked at Hermione and winked; "Hey what can I say when you look like me you don't need fancy lines to pick up chicks." Hermione snorted trying to hold in her laughter.
"Right Bill you are the man. You had me almost confessing my love to you instead of Ro. err How long has it been since we gave out the potion."
"Only three days Hermione, why are you freaking out?" Ron asked looking up at his new love. Hermione's face looked as if she had seen a ghost.
"Ron you and Ginny have to confess to your true love your feelings or it will turn into pure hatred. It's apart of love potions that Percy didn't know about. You have to do it now."
"But Hermione I did it the other night remember when everyone else did and you gave me the counter curse, remember."
"NO Ginny that doesn't count there was stipulation to doing this particular one but I didn't read that part and I have no idea where the book is at the moment. Oh no, this is not good."
"Mr. Weasley it would be good if you calmed down your girlfriend. (Ron's blushing) Now ms. Granger I know what to do, you may not worry no more." Hermione looked up at the headmaster and did something no other student ever had the courage to do; she threw her arms around Dumbledor and hugged him tightly. Dumbledor looked startled but hugged Hermione back.
Hermione slowly removed her arms from around Dumbledor, and smiled up at the older man. "Thank you professor I don't want to loose Ron right after I got him." Ron became the color of his hair as the twins, Angelina, Katie and Ginny all begin to laugh. Hermione shrugged and a pink tinge appeared on her cheeks.
"Well I don't, would you want to." "No Hermione I wouldn't, if I had the guy I fancied I wouldn't want to let him go either." Angelina said looking at Hermione. "Really and who would that be?" Hermione shot back. "No one." Angelina said rather quickly and turned her head before anyone could see her blush.
"Well kids I think we had better have Mr. and Mrs. Granger fixed before we have some bitter enemies on our hands." Dumbledors eyes twinkled as he looked at the younger children around him. "Follow me into the living room, please."
Everyone assembled in the living room. Dumbledor had the two Weasley's in question in front of the room. Ron and Ginny moved to the front of the room rather slowly and faced their headmaster. "First of all who is it you love? They are very important to this experiment." Ginny's eyes grew big and shook her head no, and Ron's ears began to turn the slightest shade of red (like maybe fire engine red?). Ron mumbled out Hermione's name, which in turn had a smile plastered to her face.
Ginny had not spoken up, and Ron elbowed her, "Come on Ginny, out with it, we all know who it is." She turned her bright hazel eyes towards Ron and replied. "No you don't. It's not Harry. It's Seamus." Every ones eyes shot up to Ginny, al their faces held a look of shock. After what seemed to be an hour, in all actuality it was a minute, of every one starring at her Katie began to giggle and soon everyone joined in. The only ones not laughing were Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Charlie, Dumbledor, and Lavender. Why do you ask is Lavender not laughing? Why because she to held a fancy for a Mr. Finnigan.
"Well I suppose we need one more person to finish this experiment. Who wants to owl Mr. Finnigan and ask him to join us on this fine day?" Dumbledor looked at Harry, who at once nodded and left the room.
"So tell me Ginny, when did you stop fancying Harry? And for that matter liking fancying Seamus of all people." Hermione looked at her female friend.
"Oh guys do you guys not pay that much attention to me? I have been over Harry for ages. I think ever since second year. After that horrible valentine I sent him, I knew there was no hope there so I moved on and last year I started making friends with Seamus and well I don't know why I fancy him. Why do you fancy Ron?"
Hermione blushed, "I wonder is Seamus is going to come, we really need him here." "Hermione you shouldn't change the subject so. I mean we all know you fancy him, and now we all are wondering why in Merlin's name Ron? I mean he isn't a thing like you. I mean Percy is more like you then Ron." Percy turned his head quickly towards his sister sending her a murderous look. Percy had confided in his sister about his crush on Hermione and here she is basically blurting it out to everyone, Hermione included. Though he was curious about her answer, what did Hermione see in Ron that she didn't see in him?
"Well Percy is to old for me, and I mean we are probably too much alike we would end up killing each other, and I am not attracted to Percy, in that way." Percy's face fell and he quickly turned his head away from everyone. He didn't want everyone seeing his tears, 'Why do I care so much anyways, she's right she is too young for me. Besides I have got Penny (nickname).'
"As for Ron, he is sweat and funny. He helps me take my mind off of my schoolwork, which I do need I brake from. I have a tendency to be to stiff and he helps me be more carefree. You know, like they say in that movie 'he completes me.'"
Awe was heard from Angelina and Katie, and "What's a movie" from all of the other people surrounding Hermione (With exception of Dumbledor of course). Hermione turned towards Angelina and Katie, "You guys know what movies are?" Angelina looked at Hermione and smiled sweetly.
"Of course, my Mum is a muggle. And Katie here is a pureblood but her dad is almost as obsessed with muggles as Mr. Weasley is and she owns a VCR." Katie winked at Hermione who beamed at the two girls before turning back towards everyone else and explaining what a movie and for that matter what a VCR is.
"So you put tape and it plays something for you? I thought tape was something you hung things up with? That's what dad told us." Fred looked completely lost and confused. Hermione shook her head at him and decided she would just have to bring one to the Weasley's next time she came. At this point Harry comes back down stairs with a reply from Seamus.
"He will be here in an hour, right now he is eating with his family. His Mum said he could come after that. He is very curious as to why we are inviting him over but I told him he would find out when he got here." Harry's eyes were twinkling from laughter.
"Well I guess we will have to wait until young Mr. Finnigan to arrive." Dumbledor, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, and Charlie retired into the kitchen as the younger bunch, including Bill all sat around the fireplace waiting for Seamus. Bill sat down next to Lavender "So tell me do you have a map." Lavender looked at Bill and shook her head no, "Why?" "Because I just lost in your eyes." Hermione groaned at Bill and Lavender giggled and engaged in a conversation with him, forgetting all about Seamus.
A roaring game of exploding snap was played (the twins won of course), and a long game of chess between Katie and Ron. It turns out Katie is very good chess player but Ron won. Seamus pops out of the Weasley fireplace. "Hey guys! Why did you ask me to come over? Not that I don't mind being asked I was just curious, you have never invited me before."
A looked was passed in between the parties before Hermione turned to Seamus, "You see there was this experiment we are conducting and you have became an interesting and surprising factor in it." At this point Seamus looked positively scared and like he was going to jump back through the fireplace. Fred and George who grabbed his arm and drug him to the couch detained him of course.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ The end for now. I will update hopefully soon. How was it? I know a little boring but oh well I tried. If you have any ideas for the plot let me know and I will see if I can use them.
