One the way to the huge, A-list dinner party with Andrew's mother, the Witch Mayor of London, Hermione and Andrew kissed passionately. All of a sudden Andrew stopped and said,
"I can't wait to see the look on my mum's face when she sees we're engaged. Lets call your parents right now!" Hermione's eyes got large and said,
"No!" Andrew looked at her in surprise and she added, "I'd rather do it alone, I mean I haven't seen them in so long and besides, I have some unfinished business to take care of. And, I think we should keep this from your mum for a few days." Andrew agreed and turned over her ring until there was just just gold band showing, no diamond. The limo came to a stop. The door opened and Hermione and Andrew came out into a crowd of flashing, wizard cameras. Hermione and Andrew made their way up to Andrew's mother, Kate. Kate smiled but you could tell she didn't like Hermione at all. They shook hands and Hermoine couldn't get her hand free from Kate. It seems that Kate had a devilish gleam in her eyes and she said to Andrew in the midst of flashing lights,
"You are engaged?!?!?!" Kate turned over the ring to reveal the diamond and Hermione looked horrified as the lights began to flash more to get a picture of the future Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Witherspoon.
The next morning Hermione awoke in her flat. She got dressed in her fancy clothes and did her hair and then she saw the head in the fireplace. It was Sylvia, her American model.
"Hermione! I'm your best friend and I have to hear about the engagement from the tabloids!"
"Sorry Sylvia, Kate just grabbed my hand. And, I can't talk long... I'm apparating to Hogsmeade this morning."
"Hogsmeade?! What do you have to do there?" Sylvia asked.
"I have some unfinished business, lets just say that." Hermione said.
"Ok, I guess I'll talk to you later Hermione!" And with that her head disappeared from the fireplace. Hermione let out a sigh and grabbed her bags as she apparated to The Three Broomsticks.
The Three Broomsticks
Hermione appeared and it seemed like chaos. Once people noticed her, she was enveloped in hugs and words like, "Its been a while!" "Glad to see ya!" She got a butter beer and noticed a huge figure in the back of the room. It was Hagrid. She rushed over to him with her bags and beer and smiled a happy greeting at him. Hagrid was so glad to see her that he gave her a huge bear hug that nearly crushed her ribs.
"I'm happy ter see yeh, Hermione! We've missed yeh awfuler bad, so has Ron." Hermione winced at the mention of Ron and sat down and told Hagrid about her fashion career and about Andrew. She showed him the ring and Hagrid grinned happily but Hermione could tell there wasn't all happiness in his face. He then looked sullen and said,
"Seems like yer found the ideal man, Hermione. I once thought Ron was yer ideal, guess I was wrong." Hagrid looked at Hermione and thought Poor Ron, its gonna kill him to see her again.
"It was great catching up again Hagrid, but I'm just in town for a little business with Ron and then I'll be on my way again. Say Hagrid, have you heard from Harry lately?"
"Yea, last I heard he was off on one of them championship games with the cannons. Great player he is. I guess I'll talk to yer later then," Hermione left Hagrid and apparated onto the front lawn of an old house with her bags in hand. As she made her way to the door a red-headed man stepped out of the front door and was astonished at seeing her there. Hermione scowled and said,
"Ronald Weasley, get your arse down here and give me a divorce!"
Sorry this one is shorter than the first, I promise that the next one will be longer if you review!!! :)
