The rain pitter pattered against the loft window. It had been raining the last few days in Hogsmeade and it was driving Hermoine crazy. With rain its always been crazy, her loft not being to well built, rain had been sputtering from the door and roof. She stood against it her hair no longer the bush it was but softly died down into tiny chestnut waves her pale skin glittering in the soft moonlight.
It had been a few years since her Hogwarts years at school. The instant her 7th year was over Hermoine went and got herself a job, before they were all taken. She flocked to the Ministry of Magic and after many interviews got a desk job. Hermoine was working her way up to the top, starting at the Magic Defense Council, til she could get to at least a big part of the Ministry, which she deserved. She really loved her job but then things got complicated. Hermoine believed she fell in love, and married Viktor Krum, her School Sweetheart. They were married for a year and then had a child. Reilly was a darling little girl with her uncontrollable chestnut hair and large blue eyes that examined everything and little hands that touched everything. She always got herself into more trouble then she deserved.
Having Reilly drove Hermoine into reality. She was going to have to take care of this baby and have a job and support the loft and not to mention at the time her parents were having financial problems so she also had to take care of them. Thats when she found that Viktor was the worst possible husband she could ever imagine. He didn't do much for them except make money. He still played for the Bulgrain Qudditch team, which caused another problem, because Hermoine nor Reilly hardly saw him at all. Finally after many fights and more fights the 2 happily filed a divorce. Reilly became a joint custody in between the two, but Viktor hardly got to have the child due to the Traveling. It was just another mixed up puzzle in Hermoine's life.
Suddenly lightening flashed through the window bringing Hermoine back to earth. Just a little rain. She'd use a spell to repel the water filtering from the cracks. "Winiduim" in a flash the water stopped pouring from under the door. There was still a puddle though. "Floatuiso". The towel on the kitchen counter levitated to the puddle and fell neatly upon it. Hermoine didn't have time to clean. Magic didn't pay the bills. Hurriedly she starred at the bills in front of her and sighed. Her muggle clock told her it was way past midnight. She had a big meeting tommrrow, she really could get some sleep. She could easily do this inbetween the time tommrrow. Throwing the calculator and the checks aside she groaned pulling herself off the stained old couch. Wearing only a big shirt and a pair of jeans comfy enough to sleep in she slipped into her bedroom, and into the king size bed. Hermoine pulled her sheets around her in a safe security of sleep. The soft pitter patter of the raindrops soothed her and she felt the brink of sleep come to her in an instant. She rolled over and suddenly a loud blaring noise hit her ears.
"Ohhhhh nooooo" she groaned and pulled the toy broomstick that made alarm noises out from her blankets and glared daggers upon it hoping for it to shut up. After a second it stopped and Hermoine threw it roughly upon the ground. She would have a talk to Reilly about leaving her toys in the room in the morning. She was to sleepy to do anything at the moment.
As soon as the toy shut off she curled back into a ball of sleep and imagined a world where she was rich and wealthy and hadn't a care in a world. It would be wonderful. Fantastic. She would hire someone else to pay her bills and taxes. She wouldn't have to worry at all about that leak in the roof, because she wouldn't be living in a house with a leak in the roof. She could hire a nanny for Reilly to someone who could watch her more then Old Mrs.Finnig--
"Mommy?"
A tiny shy voice broke into Hermoine's thoughts. "Mommy are you awake?" Reilly was standing at the foot of her bed, decked into a pink nightgown her curls more curly then usual and she was clutching to a Magic Mandy toy doll. Hermoine trying her best to resist her tiny daughters voice and pretend to sleep but sadly failed pulled herself up from the bed. "Yes Baby?" she asked the child slowly her hair a mess pulling herself up from the bed. "I'm thirsty can you please get me a drink of water?"
Hermoine sighed and knodded getting out of the comfy confines of her bed and took a few hurried steps to the kitchen and got out of glass and poured her 6 year old daughter a glass of water. Reilly watched slowly with un sleepy eyes as Hermoine herded her back into her stuffed animal induced bedroom and into the fluffy pink minibed. It was an understatement that Viktor and her spoiled their only daughter. "Okey into the bed" she ordered and handed her the glass of water. Reilly took it drinking it slowly and carefully. When the cup was half empty, Hermoine took a grab at it hurrying just wanting to go back to bed. "Wait Mommy I'm not done" she whined taking the cup back wanting to finish the water. Hermoine sighed let her took another drink and pulled it back. "But Mommy!--"
"Honey you don't have to drink it all this time" Hermoine sighed her patience wearing away with every little talk from Reilly. She took the cup and headed back into the kitchen. Reilly shurgged taking her Magic Mandy doll and fixed her bright pink hair. "Mummy... Hogwarrts gots alot of ghosts right?" Hermoine smilied secertly from the kitchen washing the cup quickly. "Yes baby lots of ghosts"
Reilly went to a Pre-School before Hogwarts in Hogsmeade when she worked. It was just a nice little Day Care where they colored and played and enjoyed their younger selfs. The next day they were taking the younger childer to Hogwarts for a field trip to see the class rooms and common rooms and met the teachers. "Good I like ghosts. I hope I gets to see Nearly Headless Nick, I've always wanted to see his neck" she added slowly as Hermoine came back to tuck her in. "Well its quite a sight to see" she said softly putting the covers over her and tightened it around her as Reilly clutched her doll. "Now Good night" she whispered kissing the girls tiny nose.
Hermoine was half way out her door when Reilly sat back up. "Mommy is Daddy coming to my Qudditch Game tommorrow?" Hermoine turned around quietly a small smile on her lips. Her daughter played Chaser on the little PreSchool Qudditch Team, and being Her daddy's daughter was an excellent player. She came over to her baby's side sitting on the side of the bed. "He'll try sweetie. Your Daddy... he's special" Reilly smilied. "Yup he's famous" Hermoine knodded. "Yup. And he's going to try so hard to come and see your game. He loves you so much and he'll try so much" Reilly smilied. "And you love Daddy right?"
Hermoine winced silently at the thought but gave her daughter a false smile. "Yes in a way I still ...like... your father. Now that thats all done will you please go to sleep?" she begged tickling her. Reilly giggled squirming but was satisfied with the questions and answers. "Okey Night Mommy" she whispered softly laying back into her bed. Hermoine smilied softly kissing the 2 pudgy cheeks and finally trudged back into her bedroom really really wanting to go back to sleep. Pulling into the deep sleep confines she sank back into her bed and pulled her own covers over her. After about 2 minutes just when she felt herself on the brink of sleep she heard the faint voice again. "Mommy?" Hermoine gave a sigh and looked up from her bed. "Yes?"
"I had a bad dream"
Hermoine smilied despite herself. "After 2 minutes of sleeping you had a bad dream?" Reilly knodded looking hopefully at the large empty kingsize bed except for her mother's body. Hermoine saw the look and sighed. "Ok, but just for tonight"
Reilly gave a small squeal and jumped onto the large bed, happy now. Cuddling into the large bed Reilly finally succombed to the sleepiness she hadn't had before. Hermoine sighed finally being able to go to sleep.
6:30 AM
The loud thump was Ron Weasley's morning wake up call. "Hmm?!" he jerked awake searching frantically for whatever woke him up. His thick red hair was in a awry his hair flat on one side wearing a muscle shirt and a pair of boxers looking around with his piercing blue eyes. When the noise didn't return the famous Daily Prophet reporter settled back into his bed ready to go back to his dreamless sleep, when suddenly the noise banged loudly against his apartment door.
"Alright Alright I'm up!" he cried to whoever was corrupting his beauty sleep.
After Hogwarts Ron was pretty much at a loss. Hermoine instantly left to whereever she was, without a letter or a goodbye and no contact since then, and Harry decided to train himself as an Auror. Ron wasn't ready for his full blast of responsibilty. He stayed at his parents for awhile, and searched for a job everywhere with a little help from Harry but nothing helped him at all. Suddenly Fred encouraged Ron to write for the Daily Prophet, he was awfully good at writing his essays at school (he just was lazy , he didn't want to look up any of the answers) and whenever Percy needed a thing rewritten he handed it striaght to Ron.
And amazingly he was excepted.
The last few weeks the Daily Prophet experianced a miracle. Everyone was buying the newspapers like crazy, just to read Ron's "Talk Alot" column, basicly a gossip column about upcoming events on technology,magic, movies, stars . He was number one on just about everything and he was enjoying it. Now he was the number one leading man in the wizarding world, pretty much hand in hand with Harry. The two were leading on Most Sexiest Wizard and Succeding Wizard contest on Daily Prophet.
Ron searched for his bathrobe reaching around blindly for it on a pile of clothes. He was going to have to have Rini the houseelf take his clothes to the laundry soon they were starting to pile up . Silently coursing through his large penthouse that was located convientatly right next to his office which was a block away he headed toward his door. Opening it up he peeked out wondering who in blazes was knocking so early in the morning.
"Bloody Lavender its 6:30 in the morning--"
"Dad!!!" Suddenly Ron was attacked a mini version of himself. Ron doubled over at the hit but still chuckled softly as he scooped up the small child that so smartly caught him. He was 6 years old and Ron's only son.
When he was 23, he married his own high school sweetheart Lavender Brown, but like for Hermoine things didn't work all to well. Lavender couldn't stand Ron's limelight and secertly started dating other people. During that time they had Noah, a dashing little boy who looked like a mini Ron with bright red hair curious blue eyes and an awry of frecklas on his boyish face. When Ron found out he burst, with that temper, and in 3 weeks the 2 filed the divorce. Ron had lost all feelings for Lavender, but loved Noah more then he ever really thought he could love someone.
"Hey Sport! What are you.. uh doing here?" he asked the small child who was wearing a pair of jeans sneakers and a bulky jacket wearing his school back pack. "Hey Dad!" he exclaimed gleefully. "Here why don't you go put your stuff in your room?" Lavender suggested handing Noah his suitcase. Ron starred at the suitcase and the little kid as he hurried to drop his stuff just at the base of the door. Noah instead shrugged and instead of putting his stuff away headed toward a plumbing stand were workers were planning to add another room. To Noah it resembled a Jungle Gym and he couldnt wait to play on it. Ron stuffed his anger as he looked at the suitcases and raised a inquring eyebrow at his ex wife. They may at one point hated each other, but once all their little desicions were out of the way they became close friends. "Good Morning Ron. Um yes well you know that me and George got married right?"
Ron ushered her in knodding along watching Noah in the corner of his eyes. "Honey be careful" Lavender called to Noah who hung from the bars. "But I do it all the time Mum!" he complained and Ron knodded rubbing his brow. "Yes he does it all the time don't worry now what?" he asked slowly unsure if he could trust himself in his near drowsyness. Lavender sighed crossing her hands. "Well me and George got married a little while back, but George's mom was having a sick problem so we had to hold of the honeymoon--" Ron knodded waving his hand. He remembered that problem.
"Yeah Yeah I remember go on" Lavender knodded keeping a motherly eye on their son. "Anyways we finally we're able to book tickets to Hawaii--" suddenly her words sped up. "But George's dad suddenly canceled, and Noah's regular babysitter is helping at Hogwarts and your Mum won't talk to me anymore since the divorce and I really really need you to watch Noah for a week please???"
But Ron was already shaking his head. "No No No No Lavender I just can't I'm booked for like the whole week and---" in this he started trailing around the room shaking his head. Lavender followed in pursuit. "But Ron!!!"
Ron shook his head furiously running his fingers once again through his hair. "Lavender... I can't! I have work all day today.. I have a meeting with Dr.Landford and I have to get my story done and its not gossip this time Lav! I don't got the time right now" Lavender stopped anger flashing in her pretty eyes. "When Ron tell me when do you have time for your son?" Noah watched this all with anxouis eyes. He never liked seeing his parents fight and silently hung from the bar.
Ron starred "Lavender don't you dare start this" he said sharply. Lavender sighed putting her hands on her waist eyeing him carefully. "Don't start what? Don't tell the truth?! Ron, Noah has been waiting forever to see you, can't you just take a small break and watch him? You never see him anymore since you got busy on those articles and you never play with him ethier" Ron turned sharply around starring down Lavdender half way to his room. "Me? Never play with Noah? Come on, Look, Look at me I'll play right now come on' and instead of blowing up in his ex-wife's face, Ron in his pajamas jumped atop of the landing where Noah huhng and growled playfully. Noah squealed loudly as Ron chased him around it.
"Come here you little bugger..."
Finally Ron grabbed him around the chest pulling him atop of his strong back. Noah was laughing hysterically thrying his hardest to wrestle from his Daddy's grasp. "Sanctuary! Sanctuary!" Ron teased pretending to be a hunchback roaring with Noah on his back. Lavender watched this all in fake amusement. Ron was hopeless. He truly was hopeless.
Finally she shook her head. "You know never mind... just.. come on..." Ron thought of all the fun he was having and dropped the giggling Noah down. Looking at his sons face full of laughter and joy all because his Dad was playing with him caught a few heartstrings and pulled them. When was the last time he saw Noah? Noe since awhile. Surely he cold push his time around for him? Making the decision in his head Ron gave a relenting grin toward his ex wife. "You know don't worry about it. I'll watch Noah"
7:00 AM
"Come on Reilly" Hermoine ushered her daughter waking her up in a hurry. They usually got up at 6:45 but they had slept in more then intended. "Hmmmm Mommy it's too early!!' Reilly grumbled wondering up half awake. Hermoine pushed her toward the bathroom. "No, we have to hurry we have to pick up Noah Lansing" Reilly wrinkled her tiny nose she she took out her toothbrush her grandparents gave her for her birthday.
"Awwe why Noah? I dont like him momma"
Hermoine sighed ignoring her daughter's whining as she searched for her clothes in the miniscule closet. Every morning Hermoine took Lavender's red headed son, Noah (it wouldn't have surprised Hermoine much if Lavender had married a Weasley twin and that was her ex husband. She always had a crush on ethier two in school...) to the school since they lived right next door to one another.
And every morning Reilly woke up and told her mother that she didn't like Noah. The two bickered like brother and sister despite the fact they weren't. They reminded Hermoine of something everytime they saw each other but she couldn't quite put her mind to it.
"Please Reilly, no complaining lets just get you into the shower and ready for school okey? Remember you have the field trip today" That brightened up Reilly's mood considerably. Hermoine sighed changing into a muggle skirt and vest brushing her long wavy hair into a bun hurriedly glancing at her watch.
Hermoine's goal today: Survive.
7:30 AM
"Ok Ron here is the number to Noah's doctor, Dr.Carlton, if anything goes...wrong well just give him a buzz with your wand--" Lavender read from the stack of papers in her hand following Ron who while listening to her rattle on, was looking like a hunter searching for a rabbit, a weaping --- his broom stick-- in hand. Ron looked at Lavender finally and knodded in agreement.
"Right...Dr.Carlton" he said making eye contact and smilied, and suddenly took a bam into the closet holding the broom high for battle.
"Nooooaaahh?" he called stalking out of the room Lavender trailing behind.
"And tommrrow just call Helene she'll pick up Noah from the school and don't forget to call Herm she picks up Noah in the morning and drops him off at school. Alright you'll have to call her to tell her she has to come here so..." Ron knodded brushing off whatever Lavender was saying and waltzed sneakily into the next room. ;avender watched and shook her head in doubt. Coming here was a bad idea.
"You know I dont really like leaving him here with you when..." Ron sighed dropping his guard. "Lav don't worry I haveit uunder control believe it or not. I'll call Helen tommrrow and whoever it was today just give me the papers---" witht hat he snatched the pile from her grasp. "And hurry up because it's almost nine and you and George need to catch that Portkey to Hawaii or you'll miss it So why dont you just go and have fuunn?" he encouraged with the charming smile that won him many things.
"Your sure?" Lavender whispered as she starred at the clock worry etched on her face.
"Positive. Now go and have a great time" Ron promised again leading her towards the doorway. "Ok Ok Bye Baby! I'll see you in a week" Lavender called out into the vast house where somewhere her son was hiding. "Bye Mommy!" Noah's voice echoed back and saistfied Lavender left.
Ron's ears perked up slightly as he closed the door behind her. "Bye Baby?" he asked softly into the air his broom raised slightly. A giggle echoed back and Ron searched around quickly and pulled up the closet door to find a little redhead. Noah squealed out loud and raced across the penthouse.
"Haha! Oh baby!" Ron teased racing after him with the broomsitck a battle ingaged.
7:45 AM
Hermoine stood outside of Lavender's door knocking gently on it. She was decked in her work clothes, ,her hair in a tight bun, clutching to her purse and in her hands were Reilly's class pets, Sea Monkeys. Little weebbed feet water breathing monkeys.
Reilly looked up at her mom dressed in a dress a jacket and stockings her bag on her back, curly hair pulled into a half ponytail. Hermoine smilied down at Reilly and knocked again slowly.
After a minute she dropped the smile. "Must have slept in" she acknowledged. Reilly looked at the door. "Maybe you should knock louder"
Hermoine frowned. "Now honey we can't. Thier Honeymooners" and with hope she knocked once again quietly. It took 2 minutes when Reilly gave a knowing look. Hermoine rolled her eyes and banged loudly on the door.
So fair this day was just going great.
7:50 AM
Ron smilied as he took a marshmallow and roasted it over the fire he created on the living room floor. Going to Hogwarts did have its advantages.
Noah smilied happily as his marshmallow turned into a thick runny mush. "Mommy never lets me have S'mores for snack" he giggled putting the marshmallow in between 2 graham cookies with the chocolate frog he also roasted, and took a big bite. His mom hardlywould let him touch any sugar ethier. His dad was cool.
"Well your mum is halfway to Hawaii right now" Ron teased finishing his own Smore in one big bite and licking the fingers to get all the liquid hot chocolate frog. Noah laughed trying to squeeze all the food into his cheeks like his Dad. "So Sport when's school startt?" Ron asked as he headed toward his bedroom to change. He pulled out a pair of jeans and a work blouse and a special robe, called a trenchcoat in the muggle world, that holds all his little odds and ends for interviews and spontaneous thoughts. Quickly he threw the clothes on and ran a finger through his carrot red hair and got a ncie enough hairdo and turned back to his son who as still licking his fingers.
"I dunno" Noah said as he took out his toy wand and flashed it around and stuck a marshmallow on the end of it. Ron looked up a bit and shuhurgged. Coming back into the living room where they had sat earlier he gathered Lavender's papers. She probably wrote it somewhere in Noah's Instruction Book. But skimming through the papers Ron didn't see anything about the Pre-Wizarding school for the young witches and wizards.
"Hmmm Well its almost 8. Everythign starts at 8:15 usually. We have time...." he talked to himself putting the mini book into one of his many pockets. Noah finished his last Smore as Ron scooped him up from the ground. "Ok Sport lets get going" he said as he set the tall 5 year old on his shoulders. Locking the door with a flick of his wand the 26 year old wizard walked out bouncing Noah. Soon they were out into the awakening Hogsmeade town where witches got up early to get savings in Madame Mitches Magical Clothes line and to see younge Pre-Hogwarts students stand outside waiting for Zonkos to open. Wizards were already waiting outside the Mail Room. The Grocery store was already packed. Hogsmeade was an early bird.
"So Sport you know where your school is?"
"I dunno..."
This was going to be a long day....
8:10 AM
Hermoine starred quickly at Reilly's shoes. Bending down she let Reilly put her foot on top of the Sea Monkey bowl as she hurriedly took the 2 shoelaces and hurried to tie them.
"We're not going to make it are we Mommy?" Reilly asked wearily looking at her mom with big blue eyes. Hermoine laughed hoarsely. She didn't want to think about that right now. "No No We're going to make it" Hermoine encouraged with a forced smile as she finished the fast knot on Reilly's sneaker.
"But you know just incase lets run alright??"
Just as Hermoine and Reilly rounded the corner to the School a group of happy small little wizards and witches with their chaperones came up hurrying to the Port to take their boat to Hogwarrts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"Come on Reilly!" Hermoine exclaimed as she felt ran drops fall down from the sky. Reilly hurried her mother clutching tight to her little hand. The took another sharp turn in the crowd and soon enough Hermoine saw the steps of the Pre-Wizarding School. "Look Honey we're here" Hermoine said sounding relieved as she came up onto the steps over the lawning so the raindrops wouldn't disturb them.
But as the raced up the steps Reilly tried fiercely to open the wooden doors. They were magically locked. Something was sticking out the window. "Whats it say Mum whats it say?" Reilly whimpered pointing it to the sign from the window.
Hermoine looked up and looked solemnly at the sign. "Well Honey...."
But suddenly someone behind her read the sign for her. "Sorry we missed you. The School has gone to Hogwarts for their annual field trip" the deep solid but yet familiar voice read behind her, and Hermoine striaghtened up a little agitated. She was planning to break the news to her daughter slowly and say that there was a way they could make it.
But when she sat up she ran into the pair of the most bluest eyes she had ever seen.
Stepping back in shock Hermoine starred at the man who came up behind her a little guy on his shoulders. She now knew why that voice had sounded oddly familiar.
Talk about Deja vu.
None other then the wanna be famous Ronald Weasley a friend from her child hood past stood before him. In his dashing long trenchcoat and rough red hair and all. He was alot taller then she remembered . Of course the last time she saw him and Harry Potter, her other best friend from the Hogwarts days, was when he was 17 and that was when he was inbetween the few stages of boy and man. He was defaintly no longer the lanky thin kid she use to know. He had grown some muscles here and there, a stock man and still towering over her as usual. He didn't look all to bad ethier....
Reverting her gaze from Ron she turned up to see the little boy on his shoulders. Hermoine almost jumped back in shock. "N-Noah?" she mouthed as she saw the sad boy who the man dropped to floor to see if what his Dad read was true.
I guess she now knew that Noah's dad certainly wasn't one of the Twins.
Hermoine hadn't even thought that Ron would have married Lavender. Of course she remembered they were dating in their 6th year going off and on on their 7th... how could she forget? They were always all over each other in the common room. It was disgusting and rude. Hermoine hardly talked to Ron after they started dating again at the end of their 7th year. Lavender had driven her crazy.
But marriage? No, she couldn't have seen Ron in a groom's outift marrying her. And they had a son too. It wasn't so ludicorous though to see Ron as a father, as it was to Lavender's husband. Noah's looks had also been nagging her when she saw him and Rielly together. No wonder. Reilly looked just like her, and Noah was a miniture version of his father. They looked just like each other when they were bickering at school.
"So your Lavender's ex husband huh?"
Ron looked up a bit startled at her statement. "Well... uh yes... how'd you know?" Hermoine frowned crossing her arms. " Your late and look lost and well that is Lavender's son." Ron sighed silently rolling his big blue sapphire eyes. Suddenly a thought hit Hermoine.
He doesn't recongize me...
Hermoine did change an awful lot sense Hogwarts. She didn't look anything like her old self actually. Her hair wasn't bushy. Her teeth weren't so abnormally large anymore thanks to her dentist parents. And she had lost much weight after having Reilly due to the divorce with Viktor. And she looked like a Mcgonnagall look alike at the moment. Hermoine sighed as Ron bent down next to his son who looked like he lost his cauldron cake. "How do you know Lavender?" Ron asked softly ruffling the little boy's red locks and looked back up at her. Hermoine looked at him earnestly hoping that it would suddenly hit him that she was Hermoine Granger, one of his close friends from childhood. But he just starred at her waiting for an answer.
Suddenly an idea popped into her head. She scooped Reilly from the ground and held her in front of Ron. Her daughter looked alot like her then she did now. Ron starred a bit confused at the small child who she put on her waist. "Ye--?" but he stopped in mid talk as he took a better look at the child and then back at Hermoine. Hermoine gave a small smile. Ron was slow. Still as slow as he was in Hogwarts. "Hermoine?" he asked her still slightly shocked at his luck at finding a friend who had abadoned him long ago. Hermoine silently knodded wishing she wouldn't have to. She hadn't talked to Ron and Harry for a reason over the years and she wished to keep it that way. But it was going to be hard now.
" 'Moine! Whereva ya been?"Ron exclaimed after getting over the intiail shock and smilied greatly. Hearing the nickname Hermoine winced using a forced smile. "Well I've been living next door to Lavender. And yeah..." she said slowly raising both her eyebrows and pursing her lips.
"Next door? Wow..." Ron chuckled softly putting his hand in his pockets. "But see I wouldn't be right here right now if it weren't for you" Hermoine said softly. Ron frowned a bit confused. Hermoine looked at Noah as if to indicate her meaning like she did with Reilly. Ron looked down at Noah and shurgged. Noah shurgged too. Hermoine sighed. "Every morning I pick up your son in the morning and walk him to Pre-School with my daughter Reilly. Today I waited outside Lavender's door for 9 minutes and wasted time, so now my daughter is late and won't be able to make her field trip. But I am going to catch a cab and see if I can get to the boat in time..." she said forcing another grin to break on her stone like face.
With that Hermoine took Reilly's hand and steered her toward the street where she was hoping to flag down a carriage that was used for transportation in Hogsmeade. Witches and Wizards didn't like using real taxi cabs like the muggles use, so they use old horsedrawn carriages through the heavily populated cobblestone streets. Raising her wand, an carriage instantly appeared with an old wizard for a driver.
Ron raised an eyebrow, as he pulled Lavender's papers out. There clearly on the first page was
"Call Hermoine Granger to tell to where to pick up Noah in the morning"
He sighed then suddenly spotted Hermoine's forgotten Sea Monkey's on the floor. "C'mere" he ordered Noah as he took his son's hand and the Sea Monkey bowl and without any asking just jumped next to Hermoine into the carriage. He wanted his son to go to school too.
Reilly looked at Noah who was scurnched next to her in the small carriage. Noah looked at Reilly. At the next moment both squealed "Mommy/ Daddy I dont wanna sit next to her/him!!!"
"Alright!" Hermoine and Ron both said in unison as they pulled their kids from the middle and put them both at a window sit. Ron handed her Sea Monkey's as Hermoine pulled a cellphone from her large never full purse. Hermoine sighed rolling her eyes quite agitated. "Don't they have a portkey to the dock?" Ron asked slightly as he made it more comfortable for him and Noah on one side of the carriage. Hermoine shook her head fustrated and leaned in toward the driver.
"Take 14th Court, not 16th Street, and don't take the left turn thats always busy take the right then another right and you'll get there way much faster" she muttured quietly as she flipped open the cellphone. Ron raised and eyebrow and gave a quirky grin at Noah who stifled a giggle. Riley stuck her tongue out at the little boy and Noah replied with a very immature pig nose.
Hermoine sighed as she leaned Riley back so she couldn't cause any more trouble with her arch rival. Giving a silent glare at Ron she dialed a number from memory and waited impatiently as it rang. One Ring, two ring, three ring.... "Hello?" a pleasent cheerful voice called from the other end of the line. Hermoine forced a smile. "Mother! Good Morning how are you?"
Hermoine could almost see her mother frown in puzzlement in London. "Hermoine...? My dear why are you calling me... through a phone?" Hermoine sighed. She dreaded asking people for help whether it be a total stranger or her parents. She rather liked doing things by herself thank you very much. "See well Mother theres a good chance your granddaughter won't be able to make it to her field trip this morning" she whispered back edging glances at Reilly in hopes that she hadn't heard a word of her conversation.
Ron sighed hearing about every whisper of it. He predicted what was to happen. He remembered asking his own Mum for help with Noah so early in the morn, and it hadn't turned out pretty. Shaking his red head he pulled a new issue of the Daily Prophet fresh from the print from his pocket. He had bought an issue while on the leisurely walk toward the school. Opening it up Ron felt a surge of energy as he found that his article on the new way to clean a house was on the 2nd page, the back of the front cover. He hadn't really asked for the 2nd page, he thought that article would at least get a couple pages back in the lifestyle. Looking at it his grin grew and he smilied flashing it open with proud.
Hermoine rolled her eyes. It was obvious he was showing off. She hadn't really cared if Ron was now as popular as the boy who lived. She didn't care that his articles were quite good and that he was payed more then enough galleons a month. She didn't care that he was pronounced the Wizarding World'st most eligible bachelor. And she certainly didn't care that his face was advertised on the side of this carriage.
"I already have my impression of you so you can stop waving that newspaper all in my face" she asked as she listened to her mother's babble about tea.
Ron frowned. He wasn't waving a paper in her face.... Couldn't just marvel in his luck without any bothering him once in awhile. To Hermoine's shock Ron pulled a cellphone from his own trenchcoat pocket. But when he opened the safety cap, she found it was quite different from a cellphone. It must have been some new talk invention for the wizarding folk. Ron took a piece from the pile in the cellphone and stuck it striaght into his ear and called out a few mumble jumble words.
"Hey baby"
Hermoine stopped and quietly stuttered to her mother about her day. Baby??? Who's baby. Leaning forward she tried to hear the listing feminine voice.
But to her surprise if she did hear anything it wasn't the sound of a witch, but it was Ron's boss Gerald. "Baby?" he said roughly back to Ron who was smirking trying best not to get caught in the act. He couldn't get enough of the disgusted but yet intruiged face on Hermonie.
"Hey listen your panties are still over at my house next time you come over remind me to give them too you..."
Hermoine gave an audible gasp and raised her eyebrows. Well that certainly wasn't a thing to talk about in public. She almost caught herself about to slap him like she would have at Hogwarts when he said something completely obnixious as he had down just a minute before. Quietly she rolled her eyes at the thought. He did deserve a slap right now. He was the one who had gotten Reilly to miss her field trip, the one she was looking forward to since the beginning of the year.
Gerald rolled his eyes from the other line. Ron had always played these kind of tricks when woman were around. "Listen Weasley get your ass back in your office 10:30 sharp we need a talk"
"Right Love ya babe" Ron teased closing the line off with a click from the 'cell phone' in his hand and put the earpiece back in place. Hermoine sighed rolling her eyes and going back to her own conversation. Why did she have to listen to his anyways? It wasn't very interesting anyway, despite the fact she was itching to find out who the woman was on the other line.
"Yes mother thats sounds quite intruging.... Yes, but mom I have a question" Hermoine stated slowly trying to ignore everything else that was happening on her left side. "Yes my dear?" her mothers delicate voice asked. "I know you have a busy schedule, but mother I have a huge meeting today and I am still not sure if Reilly's going to make it to her field trip. I really really need you to watch her for me just for a couple of hours"
But her mother's voice broke out with with a soft tone. "My dear I wish I could I haven't seen Reilly since Christmas but me and your father have a very busy schedule. We have patients booked till 10 pm tonight and we have no room for a child in a dentist office" Hermoine said stomping her feet in the small carriage. "But Mother! There isn't any room for a child in the Ministry's office where I will be presenting my idea for a new building with big excutive people and Mr.Quakenbush who hates children!!!"
Her mom gave a breathless sigh. "I told you I can't. I'm sorry Hermoine but we just can't. Find her a babysitter or drop her off at the 16th Court Center" Hermoine sighed closing her eyes. "You know what, thanks mother, but I think I'll find a way around it without having to drop Reilly off at that dump" she muttured rubbing her temple and without another word shut the cell phone case.
Ron watched this all with a knowing smile and was just about to say something witty and sarcastic but Hermoine just wasn't in the mood to hear it. "You know what I don't need to hear a word" she muttured closing her large purse as they rounded the corner to the dock. Two huge boats were in sight and Hermoine breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh thank god they haven't left yet!" she explained to Ron was was watching with a confused glance.
"C'mon Reilly sweetheart lets hurry"
Hermoine instantly latched on to Reilly's small hand and fastened her arm tightly around the Sea Monkey bowl. She was ready to full out run. She quickly paided the cab driver a few sickles and quickly pulling Reilly danced across the small raindrops hurrying towards the dock, Ron and Noah at her heels, both hurrying, the adults in hope to rid thier children for their busy day, and the children in hope to rid their parents so they could have a fun day at Hogwarts.
"Which one is it 'Moine?" Ron asked quickly totally oblivious at using her old nickname. Hermoine sighed starring at the boats with a hurried look. The first one she saw had an empty bottom deck. "The bottom deck is empty lets try the next one" she insisted racing past the one boat Ron right behind her the two kids trailing behind. "You sure? What if their up top Hermoine?"
"Don't mess with me Ron, c'mon heres the next boat" she ordered hurrying her steps into the boat the other three following. "Yes we made it" she whispered before the boat made the engine noise. "Uh Mommy I don't think this is our boat" Reilly muttured suddenly looking at her surroundings. In just about every other seat, instead of a small child, was a bunch of old people with canes and no teeth. Reilly wrinkled her nose as she saw one man take out his teeth, as Noah watched with interest.
"Oh no it was the other boat!" Hermoine exclaimed in shock suddenly frightened at the thought of losing the chance that they were so close to getting their kids to Hogwarts. "Come on, maybe we'll make it" Ron said feverantly grabbing Noah up in his arms and the four of them hurried off the boat both forgetting to be enemies as they searched for a way around it.
Ron raced up the steps to the roof of the dock. Maybe he could get the boat's attention and bring them back to pick up their kids. Hurrying his idea forming quickly in his head, he raced over the old roof waving his hands. "HEY!!! HEY THEIRS KIDS HERE!!!! HEY YOU!!!" he cried roughly out into the ocean, to the boat where he could see fairly a bunch of kids out on the railing of the boat.
Hermoine sighed finally knowing that their was no possible way they were going to make it now. Noah sighed looking up at his dad with a sad forlorn face. Ron stopped waving his arms and gave a sorry smile. "You wanted to go on that trip anyway?" he said quietly hugging his kid tightly. Hermoine looked at Reilly who's face was identical to Noah's and she sighed. "We know. You guys wanted to go on the trip" she muttured. Ron came over looking at both the kids. "Listen guys.We're going to make up for this, I swear. Some how we will have a better time then they do okay?"
Noah finally knodded and Reilly shurgged quietly playing with the Sea Monkeys twirling them inbetween her small fingers. Hermoine sighed as she herded the two down the steps, both kids finally lightening up after Mr.Weasley's promise.
But as the kids headed up, Hermoine shot a glare at Ron. "We? What do you mean we?" she hissed watching him. Ron stopped looking at her. "We as in you and me?" he stated slowly unsure if she had lost her sanity from the last time he saw her. "No No No No" Hermoine stated clearly hurrying away.
Hermoine shook her head furiously her chestnut locks following along with her hurried movements. "No, ,Ron there is no we, there never was a we, and you know what? There never will be a wa" Ron shook his own head following behind her with a fast pace. "And why not 'Moine? This could work. We have busy schedules. I have a meeting with my boss and with a client and I happened to over hear that you had a huge important meeting with the Ministry."
Hermoine laughed at the thought that he just 'happened; to listen to every word of her conversation despite the fact she heard every conversation of his. "Look" he stated trying to get her attention. "We could make a table. You watch the kids now while I have my extremely short meeting with my boss and client and then while your in your very important meeting, I'll watch the kids" Noah yanked on his father's sleeve.
"Dad I'm hungry" he whined. Ron sighed. "Sorry Sport I have nothing..." he stated searching through his many pockets to reveal only a pack of Witch Mints. "A mint?" he asked patheathicly. Hermoine sighed shaking her head as she pulled out a bag of leftover bacon sandwhiches she and Reilly had for breakfast.
"Here Noah" she said with a small smile. "Thank you Hermoine" he said pleasently as he took a big bite.
"One reason. I only let the most trustworthy people watch my daughter. Ron, your irresponsible, even when we were kids. " Hermoine stated raising an eyebrow. Ron stopped starring at Hermoine. "Irresponsible? Me?"
As the 2 parents fought for their right point of view, Noah stuck his hand in his dad's coat and pulled out a cell phone. Reilly was already playing with her moms pushing aimlessly at the buttons. Noah rolled his eyes. "Yes, hello Reporter Noah Weasley here" he said in his grown up voice. Now it was Reilly's turn to roll her eyes. "Your stupid Noah" she said. "Your stupid" Noah countered back. "An my dad hates your mom"
"Well my mom hates your dad" Reilly said her tongue shooting out. Noah rolled his blue eyes. Girls.
"Look Ron I apperciate your help, I really do" Hermoine finished as she pulled her purse from Reilly's grasp. "But I've really have to go. My meeting . I need to hurry. Ron, it was nice seeing you " She insisted suddenly having a flash at her muggle watch. Reilly suddenly turned back to Noah and flashed a small smile. She would rather spend the whole day with another kid such as Noah instead of her mom. Reilly truly loved her mom but she could spend only so much time with her. "Here" Reilly said quickly handing Noah her mom's cellphone deciding at the last minute to cause trouble with another kid for the last time today.
Noah knodded and then worldlessy handed Reilly his dad's phone.
"Yeah Okay. It was nice talking to you Hermoine" Ron said with a slight amused but yet annoyed tone pulling Noah over to his side. Hermoine sighed taking the cellphone away from Reilly's interested hands and knodded. "Same here Ron. Well I'll see you later" she said taking her daughters hand and pulled her toward a new carriage. Ron pursed his lips and looked down at Noah. "Still hungry?" he asked him.
Noah shurgged and finally knodded with a small smile that he inherited from his daddy. At least he was spending the day with his dad, instead of his strict no-sugar mom. It could have been worse. Before they left Ron saw Hermoine once again had forgotten the poor sea monkeys. Sighing he scooped Noah and the Sea monkeys up and shook his head.
"Promise me something Noah"
"What Dad?"
"Don't ever grow up to be like her"

The rain pitter pattered against the loft window. It had been raining the last few days in Hogsmeade and it was driving Hermoine crazy. With rain its always been crazy, her loft not being to well built, rain had been sputtering from the door and roof. She stood against it her hair no longer the bush it was but softly died down into tiny chestnut waves her pale skin glittering in the soft moonlight.
It had been a few years since her Hogwarts years at school. The instant her 7th year was over Hermoine went and got herself a job, before they were all taken. She flocked to the Ministry of Magic and after many interviews got a desk job. Hermoine was working her way up to the top, starting at the Magic Defense Council, til she could get to at least a big part of the Ministry, which she deserved. She really loved her job but then things got complicated. Hermoine believed she fell in love, and married Viktor Krum, her School Sweetheart. They were married for a year and then had a child. Reilly was a darling little girl with her uncontrollable chestnut hair and large blue eyes that examined everything and little hands that touched everything. She always got herself into more trouble then she deserved.
Having Reilly drove Hermoine into reality. She was going to have to take care of this baby and have a job and support the loft and not to mention at the time her parents were having financial problems so she also had to take care of them. Thats when she found that Viktor was the worst possible husband she could ever imagine. He didn't do much for them except make money. He still played for the Bulgrain Qudditch team, which caused another problem, because Hermoine nor Reilly hardly saw him at all. Finally after many fights and more fights the 2 happily filed a divorce. Reilly became a joint custody in between the two, but Viktor hardly got to have the child due to the Traveling. It was just another mixed up puzzle in Hermoine's life.
Suddenly lightening flashed through the window bringing Hermoine back to earth. Just a little rain. She'd use a spell to repel the water filtering from the cracks. "Winiduim" in a flash the water stopped pouring from under the door. There was still a puddle though. "Floatuiso". The towel on the kitchen counter levitated to the puddle and fell neatly upon it. Hermoine didn't have time to clean. Magic didn't pay the bills. Hurriedly she starred at the bills in front of her and sighed. Her muggle clock told her it was way past midnight. She had a big meeting tommrrow, she really could get some sleep. She could easily do this inbetween the time tommrrow. Throwing the calculator and the checks aside she groaned pulling herself off the stained old couch. Wearing only a big shirt and a pair of jeans comfy enough to sleep in she slipped into her bedroom, and into the king size bed. Hermoine pulled her sheets around her in a safe security of sleep. The soft pitter patter of the raindrops soothed her and she felt the brink of sleep come to her in an instant. She rolled over and suddenly a loud blaring noise hit her ears.
"Ohhhhh nooooo" she groaned and pulled the toy broomstick that made alarm noises out from her blankets and glared daggers upon it hoping for it to shut up. After a second it stopped and Hermoine threw it roughly upon the ground. She would have a talk to Reilly about leaving her toys in the room in the morning. She was to sleepy to do anything at the moment.
As soon as the toy shut off she curled back into a ball of sleep and imagined a world where she was rich and wealthy and hadn't a care in a world. It would be wonderful. Fantastic. She would hire someone else to pay her bills and taxes. She wouldn't have to worry at all about that leak in the roof, because she wouldn't be living in a house with a leak in the roof. She could hire a nanny for Reilly to someone who could watch her more then Old Mrs.Finnig--
"Mommy?"
A tiny shy voice broke into Hermoine's thoughts. "Mommy are you awake?" Reilly was standing at the foot of her bed, decked into a pink nightgown her curls more curly then usual and she was clutching to a Magic Mandy toy doll. Hermoine trying her best to resist her tiny daughters voice and pretend to sleep but sadly failed pulled herself up from the bed. "Yes Baby?" she asked the child slowly her hair a mess pulling herself up from the bed. "I'm thirsty can you please get me a drink of water?"
Hermoine sighed and knodded getting out of the comfy confines of her bed and took a few hurried steps to the kitchen and got out of glass and poured her 6 year old daughter a glass of water. Reilly watched slowly with un sleepy eyes as Hermoine herded her back into her stuffed animal induced bedroom and into the fluffy pink minibed. It was an understatement that Viktor and her spoiled their only daughter. "Okey into the bed" she ordered and handed her the glass of water. Reilly took it drinking it slowly and carefully. When the cup was half empty, Hermoine took a grab at it hurrying just wanting to go back to bed. "Wait Mommy I'm not done" she whined taking the cup back wanting to finish the water. Hermoine sighed let her took another drink and pulled it back. "But Mommy!--"
"Honey you don't have to drink it all this time" Hermoine sighed her patience wearing away with every little talk from Reilly. She took the cup and headed back into the kitchen. Reilly shurgged taking her Magic Mandy doll and fixed her bright pink hair. "Mummy... Hogwarrts gots alot of ghosts right?" Hermoine smilied secertly from the kitchen washing the cup quickly. "Yes baby lots of ghosts"
Reilly went to a Pre-School before Hogwarts in Hogsmeade when she worked. It was just a nice little Day Care where they colored and played and enjoyed their younger selfs. The next day they were taking the younger childer to Hogwarts for a field trip to see the class rooms and common rooms and met the teachers. "Good I like ghosts. I hope I gets to see Nearly Headless Nick, I've always wanted to see his neck" she added slowly as Hermoine came back to tuck her in. "Well its quite a sight to see" she said softly putting the covers over her and tightened it around her as Reilly clutched her doll. "Now Good night" she whispered kissing the girls tiny nose.
Hermoine was half way out her door when Reilly sat back up. "Mommy is Daddy coming to my Qudditch Game tommorrow?" Hermoine turned around quietly a small smile on her lips. Her daughter played Chaser on the little PreSchool Qudditch Team, and being Her daddy's daughter was an excellent player. She came over to her baby's side sitting on the side of the bed. "He'll try sweetie. Your Daddy... he's special" Reilly smilied. "Yup he's famous" Hermoine knodded. "Yup. And he's going to try so hard to come and see your game. He loves you so much and he'll try so much" Reilly smilied. "And you love Daddy right?"
Hermoine winced silently at the thought but gave her daughter a false smile. "Yes in a way I still ...like... your father. Now that thats all done will you please go to sleep?" she begged tickling her. Reilly giggled squirming but was satisfied with the questions and answers. "Okey Night Mommy" she whispered softly laying back into her bed. Hermoine smilied softly kissing the 2 pudgy cheeks and finally trudged back into her bedroom really really wanting to go back to sleep. Pulling into the deep sleep confines she sank back into her bed and pulled her own covers over her. After about 2 minutes just when she felt herself on the brink of sleep she heard the faint voice again. "Mommy?" Hermoine gave a sigh and looked up from her bed. "Yes?"
"I had a bad dream"
Hermoine smilied despite herself. "After 2 minutes of sleeping you had a bad dream?" Reilly knodded looking hopefully at the large empty kingsize bed except for her mother's body. Hermoine saw the look and sighed. "Ok, but just for tonight"
Reilly gave a small squeal and jumped onto the large bed, happy now. Cuddling into the large bed Reilly finally succombed to the sleepiness she hadn't had before. Hermoine sighed finally being able to go to sleep.
6:30 AM
The loud thump was Ron Weasley's morning wake up call. "Hmm?!" he jerked awake searching frantically for whatever woke him up. His thick red hair was in a awry his hair flat on one side wearing a muscle shirt and a pair of boxers looking around with his piercing blue eyes. When the noise didn't return the famous Daily Prophet reporter settled back into his bed ready to go back to his dreamless sleep, when suddenly the noise banged loudly against his apartment door.
"Alright Alright I'm up!" he cried to whoever was corrupting his beauty sleep.
After Hogwarts Ron was pretty much at a loss. Hermoine instantly left to whereever she was, without a letter or a goodbye and no contact since then, and Harry decided to train himself as an Auror. Ron wasn't ready for his full blast of responsibilty. He stayed at his parents for awhile, and searched for a job everywhere with a little help from Harry but nothing helped him at all. Suddenly Fred encouraged Ron to write for the Daily Prophet, he was awfully good at writing his essays at school (he just was lazy , he didn't want to look up any of the answers) and whenever Percy needed a thing rewritten he handed it striaght to Ron.
And amazingly he was excepted.
The last few weeks the Daily Prophet experianced a miracle. Everyone was buying the newspapers like crazy, just to read Ron's "Talk Alot" column, basicly a gossip column about upcoming events on technology,magic, movies, stars . He was number one on just about everything and he was enjoying it. Now he was the number one leading man in the wizarding world, pretty much hand in hand with Harry. The two were leading on Most Sexiest Wizard and Succeding Wizard contest on Daily Prophet.
Ron searched for his bathrobe reaching around blindly for it on a pile of clothes. He was going to have to have Rini the houseelf take his clothes to the laundry soon they were starting to pile up . Silently coursing through his large penthouse that was located convientatly right next to his office which was a block away he headed toward his door. Opening it up he peeked out wondering who in blazes was knocking so early in the morning.
"Bloody Lavender its 6:30 in the morning--"
"Dad!!!" Suddenly Ron was attacked a mini version of himself. Ron doubled over at the hit but still chuckled softly as he scooped up the small child that so smartly caught him. He was 6 years old and Ron's only son.
When he was 23, he married his own high school sweetheart Lavender Brown, but like for Hermoine things didn't work all to well. Lavender couldn't stand Ron's limelight and secertly started dating other people. During that time they had Noah, a dashing little boy who looked like a mini Ron with bright red hair curious blue eyes and an awry of frecklas on his boyish face. When Ron found out he burst, with that temper, and in 3 weeks the 2 filed the divorce. Ron had lost all feelings for Lavender, but loved Noah more then he ever really thought he could love someone.
"Hey Sport! What are you.. uh doing here?" he asked the small child who was wearing a pair of jeans sneakers and a bulky jacket wearing his school back pack. "Hey Dad!" he exclaimed gleefully. "Here why don't you go put your stuff in your room?" Lavender suggested handing Noah his suitcase. Ron starred at the suitcase and the little kid as he hurried to drop his stuff just at the base of the door. Noah instead shrugged and instead of putting his stuff away headed toward a plumbing stand were workers were planning to add another room. To Noah it resembled a Jungle Gym and he couldnt wait to play on it. Ron stuffed his anger as he looked at the suitcases and raised a inquring eyebrow at his ex wife. They may at one point hated each other, but once all their little desicions were out of the way they became close friends. "Good Morning Ron. Um yes well you know that me and George got married right?"
Ron ushered her in knodding along watching Noah in the corner of his eyes. "Honey be careful" Lavender called to Noah who hung from the bars. "But I do it all the time Mum!" he complained and Ron knodded rubbing his brow. "Yes he does it all the time don't worry now what?" he asked slowly unsure if he could trust himself in his near drowsyness. Lavender sighed crossing her hands. "Well me and George got married a little while back, but George's mom was having a sick problem so we had to hold of the honeymoon--" Ron knodded waving his hand. He remembered that problem.
"Yeah Yeah I remember go on" Lavender knodded keeping a motherly eye on their son. "Anyways we finally we're able to book tickets to Hawaii--" suddenly her words sped up. "But George's dad suddenly canceled, and Noah's regular babysitter is helping at Hogwarts and your Mum won't talk to me anymore since the divorce and I really really need you to watch Noah for a week please???"
But Ron was already shaking his head. "No No No No Lavender I just can't I'm booked for like the whole week and---" in this he started trailing around the room shaking his head. Lavender followed in pursuit. "But Ron!!!"
Ron shook his head furiously running his fingers once again through his hair. "Lavender... I can't! I have work all day today.. I have a meeting with Dr.Landford and I have to get my story done and its not gossip this time Lav! I don't got the time right now" Lavender stopped anger flashing in her pretty eyes. "When Ron tell me when do you have time for your son?" Noah watched this all with anxouis eyes. He never liked seeing his parents fight and silently hung from the bar.
Ron starred "Lavender don't you dare start this" he said sharply. Lavender sighed putting her hands on her waist eyeing him carefully. "Don't start what? Don't tell the truth?! Ron, Noah has been waiting forever to see you, can't you just take a small break and watch him? You never see him anymore since you got busy on those articles and you never play with him ethier" Ron turned sharply around starring down Lavdender half way to his room. "Me? Never play with Noah? Come on, Look, Look at me I'll play right now come on' and instead of blowing up in his ex-wife's face, Ron in his pajamas jumped atop of the landing where Noah huhng and growled playfully. Noah squealed loudly as Ron chased him around it.
"Come here you little bugger..."
Finally Ron grabbed him around the chest pulling him atop of his strong back. Noah was laughing hysterically thrying his hardest to wrestle from his Daddy's grasp. "Sanctuary! Sanctuary!" Ron teased pretending to be a hunchback roaring with Noah on his back. Lavender watched this all in fake amusement. Ron was hopeless. He truly was hopeless.
Finally she shook her head. "You know never mind... just.. come on..." Ron thought of all the fun he was having and dropped the giggling Noah down. Looking at his sons face full of laughter and joy all because his Dad was playing with him caught a few heartstrings and pulled them. When was the last time he saw Noah? Noe since awhile. Surely he cold push his time around for him? Making the decision in his head Ron gave a relenting grin toward his ex wife. "You know don't worry about it. I'll watch Noah"
7:00 AM
"Come on Reilly" Hermoine ushered her daughter waking her up in a hurry. They usually got up at 6:45 but they had slept in more then intended. "Hmmmm Mommy it's too early!!' Reilly grumbled wondering up half awake. Hermoine pushed her toward the bathroom. "No, we have to hurry we have to pick up Noah Lansing" Reilly wrinkled her tiny nose she she took out her toothbrush her grandparents gave her for her birthday.
"Awwe why Noah? I dont like him momma"
Hermoine sighed ignoring her daughter's whining as she searched for her clothes in the miniscule closet. Every morning Hermoine took Lavender's red headed son, Noah (it wouldn't have surprised Hermoine much if Lavender had married a Weasley twin and that was her ex husband. She always had a crush on ethier two in school...) to the school since they lived right next door to one another.
And every morning Reilly woke up and told her mother that she didn't like Noah. The two bickered like brother and sister despite the fact they weren't. They reminded Hermoine of something everytime they saw each other but she couldn't quite put her mind to it.
"Please Reilly, no complaining lets just get you into the shower and ready for school okey? Remember you have the field trip today" That brightened up Reilly's mood considerably. Hermoine sighed changing into a muggle skirt and vest brushing her long wavy hair into a bun hurriedly glancing at her watch.
Hermoine's goal today: Survive.
7:30 AM
"Ok Ron here is the number to Noah's doctor, Dr.Carlton, if anything goes...wrong well just give him a buzz with your wand--" Lavender read from the stack of papers in her hand following Ron who while listening to her rattle on, was looking like a hunter searching for a rabbit, a weaping --- his broom stick-- in hand. Ron looked at Lavender finally and knodded in agreement.
"Right...Dr.Carlton" he said making eye contact and smilied, and suddenly took a bam into the closet holding the broom high for battle.
"Nooooaaahh?" he called stalking out of the room Lavender trailing behind.
"And tommrrow just call Helene she'll pick up Noah from the school and don't forget to call Herm she picks up Noah in the morning and drops him off at school. Alright you'll have to call her to tell her she has to come here so..." Ron knodded brushing off whatever Lavender was saying and waltzed sneakily into the next room. ;avender watched and shook her head in doubt. Coming here was a bad idea.
"You know I dont really like leaving him here with you when..." Ron sighed dropping his guard. "Lav don't worry I haveit uunder control believe it or not. I'll call Helen tommrrow and whoever it was today just give me the papers---" witht hat he snatched the pile from her grasp. "And hurry up because it's almost nine and you and George need to catch that Portkey to Hawaii or you'll miss it So why dont you just go and have fuunn?" he encouraged with the charming smile that won him many things.
"Your sure?" Lavender whispered as she starred at the clock worry etched on her face.
"Positive. Now go and have a great time" Ron promised again leading her towards the doorway. "Ok Ok Bye Baby! I'll see you in a week" Lavender called out into the vast house where somewhere her son was hiding. "Bye Mommy!" Noah's voice echoed back and saistfied Lavender left.
Ron's ears perked up slightly as he closed the door behind her. "Bye Baby?" he asked softly into the air his broom raised slightly. A giggle echoed back and Ron searched around quickly and pulled up the closet door to find a little redhead. Noah squealed out loud and raced across the penthouse.
"Haha! Oh baby!" Ron teased racing after him with the broomsitck a battle ingaged.
7:45 AM
Hermoine stood outside of Lavender's door knocking gently on it. She was decked in her work clothes, ,her hair in a tight bun, clutching to her purse and in her hands were Reilly's class pets, Sea Monkeys. Little weebbed feet water breathing monkeys.
Reilly looked up at her mom dressed in a dress a jacket and stockings her bag on her back, curly hair pulled into a half ponytail. Hermoine smilied down at Reilly and knocked again slowly.
After a minute she dropped the smile. "Must have slept in" she acknowledged. Reilly looked at the door. "Maybe you should knock louder"
Hermoine frowned. "Now honey we can't. Thier Honeymooners" and with hope she knocked once again quietly. It took 2 minutes when Reilly gave a knowing look. Hermoine rolled her eyes and banged loudly on the door.
So fair this day was just going great.
7:50 AM
Ron smilied as he took a marshmallow and roasted it over the fire he created on the living room floor. Going to Hogwarts did have its advantages.
Noah smilied happily as his marshmallow turned into a thick runny mush. "Mommy never lets me have S'mores for snack" he giggled putting the marshmallow in between 2 graham cookies with the chocolate frog he also roasted, and took a big bite. His mom hardlywould let him touch any sugar ethier. His dad was cool.
"Well your mum is halfway to Hawaii right now" Ron teased finishing his own Smore in one big bite and licking the fingers to get all the liquid hot chocolate frog. Noah laughed trying to squeeze all the food into his cheeks like his Dad. "So Sport when's school startt?" Ron asked as he headed toward his bedroom to change. He pulled out a pair of jeans and a work blouse and a special robe, called a trenchcoat in the muggle world, that holds all his little odds and ends for interviews and spontaneous thoughts. Quickly he threw the clothes on and ran a finger through his carrot red hair and got a ncie enough hairdo and turned back to his son who as still licking his fingers.
"I dunno" Noah said as he took out his toy wand and flashed it around and stuck a marshmallow on the end of it. Ron looked up a bit and shuhurgged. Coming back into the living room where they had sat earlier he gathered Lavender's papers. She probably wrote it somewhere in Noah's Instruction Book. But skimming through the papers Ron didn't see anything about the Pre-Wizarding school for the young witches and wizards.
"Hmmm Well its almost 8. Everythign starts at 8:15 usually. We have time...." he talked to himself putting the mini book into one of his many pockets. Noah finished his last Smore as Ron scooped him up from the ground. "Ok Sport lets get going" he said as he set the tall 5 year old on his shoulders. Locking the door with a flick of his wand the 26 year old wizard walked out bouncing Noah. Soon they were out into the awakening Hogsmeade town where witches got up early to get savings in Madame Mitches Magical Clothes line and to see younge Pre-Hogwarts students stand outside waiting for Zonkos to open. Wizards were already waiting outside the Mail Room. The Grocery store was already packed. Hogsmeade was an early bird.
"So Sport you know where your school is?"
"I dunno..."
This was going to be a long day....
8:10 AM
Hermoine starred quickly at Reilly's shoes. Bending down she let Reilly put her foot on top of the Sea Monkey bowl as she hurriedly took the 2 shoelaces and hurried to tie them.
"We're not going to make it are we Mommy?" Reilly asked wearily looking at her mom with big blue eyes. Hermoine laughed hoarsely. She didn't want to think about that right now. "No No We're going to make it" Hermoine encouraged with a forced smile as she finished the fast knot on Reilly's sneaker.
"But you know just incase lets run alright??"
Just as Hermoine and Reilly rounded the corner to the School a group of happy small little wizards and witches with their chaperones came up hurrying to the Port to take their boat to Hogwarrts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"Come on Reilly!" Hermoine exclaimed as she felt ran drops fall down from the sky. Reilly hurried her mother clutching tight to her little hand. The took another sharp turn in the crowd and soon enough Hermoine saw the steps of the Pre-Wizarding School. "Look Honey we're here" Hermoine said sounding relieved as she came up onto the steps over the lawning so the raindrops wouldn't disturb them.
But as the raced up the steps Reilly tried fiercely to open the wooden doors. They were magically locked. Something was sticking out the window. "Whats it say Mum whats it say?" Reilly whimpered pointing it to the sign from the window.
Hermoine looked up and looked solemnly at the sign. "Well Honey...."
But suddenly someone behind her read the sign for her. "Sorry we missed you. The School has gone to Hogwarts for their annual field trip" the deep solid but yet familiar voice read behind her, and Hermoine striaghtened up a little agitated. She was planning to break the news to her daughter slowly and say that there was a way they could make it.
But when she sat up she ran into the pair of the most bluest eyes she had ever seen.
Stepping back in shock Hermoine starred at the man who came up behind her a little guy on his shoulders. She now knew why that voice had sounded oddly familiar.
Talk about Deja vu.
None other then the wanna be famous Ronald Weasley a friend from her child hood past stood before him. In his dashing long trenchcoat and rough red hair and all. He was alot taller then she remembered . Of course the last time she saw him and Harry Potter, her other best friend from the Hogwarts days, was when he was 17 and that was when he was inbetween the few stages of boy and man. He was defaintly no longer the lanky thin kid she use to know. He had grown some muscles here and there, a stock man and still towering over her as usual. He didn't look all to bad ethier....
Reverting her gaze from Ron she turned up to see the little boy on his shoulders. Hermoine almost jumped back in shock. "N-Noah?" she mouthed as she saw the sad boy who the man dropped to floor to see if what his Dad read was true.
I guess she now knew that Noah's dad certainly wasn't one of the Twins.
Hermoine hadn't even thought that Ron would have married Lavender. Of course she remembered they were dating in their 6th year going off and on on their 7th... how could she forget? They were always all over each other in the common room. It was disgusting and rude. Hermoine hardly talked to Ron after they started dating again at the end of their 7th year. Lavender had driven her crazy.
But marriage? No, she couldn't have seen Ron in a groom's outift marrying her. And they had a son too. It wasn't so ludicorous though to see Ron as a father, as it was to Lavender's husband. Noah's looks had also been nagging her when she saw him and Rielly together. No wonder. Reilly looked just like her, and Noah was a miniture version of his father. They looked just like each other when they were bickering at school.
"So your Lavender's ex husband huh?"
Ron looked up a bit startled at her statement. "Well... uh yes... how'd you know?" Hermoine frowned crossing her arms. " Your late and look lost and well that is Lavender's son." Ron sighed silently rolling his big blue sapphire eyes. Suddenly a thought hit Hermoine.
He doesn't recongize me...
Hermoine did change an awful lot sense Hogwarts. She didn't look anything like her old self actually. Her hair wasn't bushy. Her teeth weren't so abnormally large anymore thanks to her dentist parents. And she had lost much weight after having Reilly due to the divorce with Viktor. And she looked like a Mcgonnagall look alike at the moment. Hermoine sighed as Ron bent down next to his son who looked like he lost his cauldron cake. "How do you know Lavender?" Ron asked softly ruffling the little boy's red locks and looked back up at her. Hermoine looked at him earnestly hoping that it would suddenly hit him that she was Hermoine Granger, one of his close friends from childhood. But he just starred at her waiting for an answer.
Suddenly an idea popped into her head. She scooped Reilly from the ground and held her in front of Ron. Her daughter looked alot like her then she did now. Ron starred a bit confused at the small child who she put on her waist. "Ye--?" but he stopped in mid talk as he took a better look at the child and then back at Hermoine. Hermoine gave a small smile. Ron was slow. Still as slow as he was in Hogwarts. "Hermoine?" he asked her still slightly shocked at his luck at finding a friend who had abadoned him long ago. Hermoine silently knodded wishing she wouldn't have to. She hadn't talked to Ron and Harry for a reason over the years and she wished to keep it that way. But it was going to be hard now.
" 'Moine! Whereva ya been?"Ron exclaimed after getting over the intiail shock and smilied greatly. Hearing the nickname Hermoine winced using a forced smile. "Well I've been living next door to Lavender. And yeah..." she said slowly raising both her eyebrows and pursing her lips.
"Next door? Wow..." Ron chuckled softly putting his hand in his pockets. "But see I wouldn't be right here right now if it weren't for you" Hermoine said softly. Ron frowned a bit confused. Hermoine looked at Noah as if to indicate her meaning like she did with Reilly. Ron looked down at Noah and shurgged. Noah shurgged too. Hermoine sighed. "Every morning I pick up your son in the morning and walk him to Pre-School with my daughter Reilly. Today I waited outside Lavender's door for 9 minutes and wasted time, so now my daughter is late and won't be able to make her field trip. But I am going to catch a cab and see if I can get to the boat in time..." she said forcing another grin to break on her stone like face.
With that Hermoine took Reilly's hand and steered her toward the street where she was hoping to flag down a carriage that was used for transportation in Hogsmeade. Witches and Wizards didn't like using real taxi cabs like the muggles use, so they use old horsedrawn carriages through the heavily populated cobblestone streets. Raising her wand, an carriage instantly appeared with an old wizard for a driver.
Ron raised an eyebrow, as he pulled Lavender's papers out. There clearly on the first page was
"Call Hermoine Granger to tell to where to pick up Noah in the morning"
He sighed then suddenly spotted Hermoine's forgotten Sea Monkey's on the floor. "C'mere" he ordered Noah as he took his son's hand and the Sea Monkey bowl and without any asking just jumped next to Hermoine into the carriage. He wanted his son to go to school too.
Reilly looked at Noah who was scurnched next to her in the small carriage. Noah looked at Reilly. At the next moment both squealed "Mommy/ Daddy I dont wanna sit next to her/him!!!"
"Alright!" Hermoine and Ron both said in unison as they pulled their kids from the middle and put them both at a window sit. Ron handed her Sea Monkey's as Hermoine pulled a cellphone from her large never full purse. Hermoine sighed rolling her eyes quite agitated. "Don't they have a portkey to the dock?" Ron asked slightly as he made it more comfortable for him and Noah on one side of the carriage. Hermoine shook her head fustrated and leaned in toward the driver.
"Take 14th Court, not 16th Street, and don't take the left turn thats always busy take the right then another right and you'll get there way much faster" she muttured quietly as she flipped open the cellphone. Ron raised and eyebrow and gave a quirky grin at Noah who stifled a giggle. Riley stuck her tongue out at the little boy and Noah replied with a very immature pig nose.
Hermoine sighed as she leaned Riley back so she couldn't cause any more trouble with her arch rival. Giving a silent glare at Ron she dialed a number from memory and waited impatiently as it rang. One Ring, two ring, three ring.... "Hello?" a pleasent cheerful voice called from the other end of the line. Hermoine forced a smile. "Mother! Good Morning how are you?"
Hermoine could almost see her mother frown in puzzlement in London. "Hermoine...? My dear why are you calling me... through a phone?" Hermoine sighed. She dreaded asking people for help whether it be a total stranger or her parents. She rather liked doing things by herself thank you very much. "See well Mother theres a good chance your granddaughter won't be able to make it to her field trip this morning" she whispered back edging glances at Reilly in hopes that she hadn't heard a word of her conversation.
Ron sighed hearing about every whisper of it. He predicted what was to happen. He remembered asking his own Mum for help with Noah so early in the morn, and it hadn't turned out pretty. Shaking his red head he pulled a new issue of the Daily Prophet fresh from the print from his pocket. He had bought an issue while on the leisurely walk toward the school. Opening it up Ron felt a surge of energy as he found that his article on the new way to clean a house was on the 2nd page, the back of the front cover. He hadn't really asked for the 2nd page, he thought that article would at least get a couple pages back in the lifestyle. Looking at it his grin grew and he smilied flashing it open with proud.
Hermoine rolled her eyes. It was obvious he was showing off. She hadn't really cared if Ron was now as popular as the boy who lived. She didn't care that his articles were quite good and that he was payed more then enough galleons a month. She didn't care that he was pronounced the Wizarding World'st most eligible bachelor. And she certainly didn't care that his face was advertised on the side of this carriage.
"I already have my impression of you so you can stop waving that newspaper all in my face" she asked as she listened to her mother's babble about tea.
Ron frowned. He wasn't waving a paper in her face.... Couldn't just marvel in his luck without any bothering him once in awhile. To Hermoine's shock Ron pulled a cellphone from his own trenchcoat pocket. But when he opened the safety cap, she found it was quite different from a cellphone. It must have been some new talk invention for the wizarding folk. Ron took a piece from the pile in the cellphone and stuck it striaght into his ear and called out a few mumble jumble words.
"Hey baby"
Hermoine stopped and quietly stuttered to her mother about her day. Baby??? Who's baby. Leaning forward she tried to hear the listing feminine voice.
But to her surprise if she did hear anything it wasn't the sound of a witch, but it was Ron's boss Gerald. "Baby?" he said roughly back to Ron who was smirking trying best not to get caught in the act. He couldn't get enough of the disgusted but yet intruiged face on Hermonie.
"Hey listen your panties are still over at my house next time you come over remind me to give them too you..."
Hermoine gave an audible gasp and raised her eyebrows. Well that certainly wasn't a thing to talk about in public. She almost caught herself about to slap him like she would have at Hogwarts when he said something completely obnixious as he had down just a minute before. Quietly she rolled her eyes at the thought. He did deserve a slap right now. He was the one who had gotten Reilly to miss her field trip, the one she was looking forward to since the beginning of the year.
Gerald rolled his eyes from the other line. Ron had always played these kind of tricks when woman were around. "Listen Weasley get your ass back in your office 10:30 sharp we need a talk"
"Right Love ya babe" Ron teased closing the line off with a click from the 'cell phone' in his hand and put the earpiece back in place. Hermoine sighed rolling her eyes and going back to her own conversation. Why did she have to listen to his anyways? It wasn't very interesting anyway, despite the fact she was itching to find out who the woman was on the other line.
"Yes mother thats sounds quite intruging.... Yes, but mom I have a question" Hermoine stated slowly trying to ignore everything else that was happening on her left side. "Yes my dear?" her mothers delicate voice asked. "I know you have a busy schedule, but mother I have a huge meeting today and I am still not sure if Reilly's going to make it to her field trip. I really really need you to watch her for me just for a couple of hours"
But her mother's voice broke out with with a soft tone. "My dear I wish I could I haven't seen Reilly since Christmas but me and your father have a very busy schedule. We have patients booked till 10 pm tonight and we have no room for a child in a dentist office" Hermoine said stomping her feet in the small carriage. "But Mother! There isn't any room for a child in the Ministry's office where I will be presenting my idea for a new building with big excutive people and Mr.Quakenbush who hates children!!!"
Her mom gave a breathless sigh. "I told you I can't. I'm sorry Hermoine but we just can't. Find her a babysitter or drop her off at the 16th Court Center" Hermoine sighed closing her eyes. "You know what, thanks mother, but I think I'll find a way around it without having to drop Reilly off at that dump" she muttured rubbing her temple and without another word shut the cell phone case.
Ron watched this all with a knowing smile and was just about to say something witty and sarcastic but Hermoine just wasn't in the mood to hear it. "You know what I don't need to hear a word" she muttured closing her large purse as they rounded the corner to the dock. Two huge boats were in sight and Hermoine breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh thank god they haven't left yet!" she explained to Ron was was watching with a confused glance.
"C'mon Reilly sweetheart lets hurry"
Hermoine instantly latched on to Reilly's small hand and fastened her arm tightly around the Sea Monkey bowl. She was ready to full out run. She quickly paided the cab driver a few sickles and quickly pulling Reilly danced across the small raindrops hurrying towards the dock, Ron and Noah at her heels, both hurrying, the adults in hope to rid thier children for their busy day, and the children in hope to rid their parents so they could have a fun day at Hogwarts.
"Which one is it 'Moine?" Ron asked quickly totally oblivious at using her old nickname. Hermoine sighed starring at the boats with a hurried look. The first one she saw had an empty bottom deck. "The bottom deck is empty lets try the next one" she insisted racing past the one boat Ron right behind her the two kids trailing behind. "You sure? What if their up top Hermoine?"
"Don't mess with me Ron, c'mon heres the next boat" she ordered hurrying her steps into the boat the other three following. "Yes we made it" she whispered before the boat made the engine noise. "Uh Mommy I don't think this is our boat" Reilly muttured suddenly looking at her surroundings. In just about every other seat, instead of a small child, was a bunch of old people with canes and no teeth. Reilly wrinkled her nose as she saw one man take out his teeth, as Noah watched with interest.
"Oh no it was the other boat!" Hermoine exclaimed in shock suddenly frightened at the thought of losing the chance that they were so close to getting their kids to Hogwarts. "Come on, maybe we'll make it" Ron said feverantly grabbing Noah up in his arms and the four of them hurried off the boat both forgetting to be enemies as they searched for a way around it.
Ron raced up the steps to the roof of the dock. Maybe he could get the boat's attention and bring them back to pick up their kids. Hurrying his idea forming quickly in his head, he raced over the old roof waving his hands. "HEY!!! HEY THEIRS KIDS HERE!!!! HEY YOU!!!" he cried roughly out into the ocean, to the boat where he could see fairly a bunch of kids out on the railing of the boat.
Hermoine sighed finally knowing that their was no possible way they were going to make it now. Noah sighed looking up at his dad with a sad forlorn face. Ron stopped waving his arms and gave a sorry smile. "You wanted to go on that trip anyway?" he said quietly hugging his kid tightly. Hermoine looked at Reilly who's face was identical to Noah's and she sighed. "We know. You guys wanted to go on the trip" she muttured. Ron came over looking at both the kids. "Listen guys.We're going to make up for this, I swear. Some how we will have a better time then they do okay?"
Noah finally knodded and Reilly shurgged quietly playing with the Sea Monkeys twirling them inbetween her small fingers. Hermoine sighed as she herded the two down the steps, both kids finally lightening up after Mr.Weasley's promise.
But as the kids headed up, Hermoine shot a glare at Ron. "We? What do you mean we?" she hissed watching him. Ron stopped looking at her. "We as in you and me?" he stated slowly unsure if she had lost her sanity from the last time he saw her. "No No No No" Hermoine stated clearly hurrying away.
Hermoine shook her head furiously her chestnut locks following along with her hurried movements. "No, ,Ron there is no we, there never was a we, and you know what? There never will be a wa" Ron shook his own head following behind her with a fast pace. "And why not 'Moine? This could work. We have busy schedules. I have a meeting with my boss and with a client and I happened to over hear that you had a huge important meeting with the Ministry."
Hermoine laughed at the thought that he just 'happened; to listen to every word of her conversation despite the fact she heard every conversation of his. "Look" he stated trying to get her attention. "We could make a table. You watch the kids now while I have my extremely short meeting with my boss and client and then while your in your very important meeting, I'll watch the kids" Noah yanked on his father's sleeve.
"Dad I'm hungry" he whined. Ron sighed. "Sorry Sport I have nothing..." he stated searching through his many pockets to reveal only a pack of Witch Mints. "A mint?" he asked patheathicly. Hermoine sighed shaking her head as she pulled out a bag of leftover bacon sandwhiches she and Reilly had for breakfast.
"Here Noah" she said with a small smile. "Thank you Hermoine" he said pleasently as he took a big bite.
"One reason. I only let the most trustworthy people watch my daughter. Ron, your irresponsible, even when we were kids. " Hermoine stated raising an eyebrow. Ron stopped starring at Hermoine. "Irresponsible? Me?"
As the 2 parents fought for their right point of view, Noah stuck his hand in his dad's coat and pulled out a cell phone. Reilly was already playing with her moms pushing aimlessly at the buttons. Noah rolled his eyes. "Yes, hello Reporter Noah Weasley here" he said in his grown up voice. Now it was Reilly's turn to roll her eyes. "Your stupid Noah" she said. "Your stupid" Noah countered back. "An my dad hates your mom"
"Well my mom hates your dad" Reilly said her tongue shooting out. Noah rolled his blue eyes. Girls.
"Look Ron I apperciate your help, I really do" Hermoine finished as she pulled her purse from Reilly's grasp. "But I've really have to go. My meeting . I need to hurry. Ron, it was nice seeing you " She insisted suddenly having a flash at her muggle watch. Reilly suddenly turned back to Noah and flashed a small smile. She would rather spend the whole day with another kid such as Noah instead of her mom. Reilly truly loved her mom but she could spend only so much time with her. "Here" Reilly said quickly handing Noah her mom's cellphone deciding at the last minute to cause trouble with another kid for the last time today.
Noah knodded and then worldlessy handed Reilly his dad's phone.
"Yeah Okay. It was nice talking to you Hermoine" Ron said with a slight amused but yet annoyed tone pulling Noah over to his side. Hermoine sighed taking the cellphone away from Reilly's interested hands and knodded. "Same here Ron. Well I'll see you later" she said taking her daughters hand and pulled her toward a new carriage. Ron pursed his lips and looked down at Noah. "Still hungry?" he asked him.
Noah shurgged and finally knodded with a small smile that he inherited from his daddy. At least he was spending the day with his dad, instead of his strict no-sugar mom. It could have been worse. Before they left Ron saw Hermoine once again had forgotten the poor sea monkeys. Sighing he scooped Noah and the Sea monkeys up and shook his head.
"Promise me something Noah"
"What Dad?"
"Don't ever grow up to be like her"
