After Hogwarts
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter; I own Hermia, Geri, and Henry (I don't think Geri or Henry are mentioned in this chapter though…) though.
A/N: It's an update! It's an update! 'Mione (me) Weasley, I don't think this chapter will answer your question, maybe the next one will (I'm not going to say it out loud though). Eilidh (A Scottish Elf) that flamer is a retard, I haven't read that story because it involves LoTR (not a big fan), but I'm sure it's really good! Thanks hpcrazy for reviewing (like it says up there somewhere, It's an update! It's an update!). And thanks to Jackie from J.E.A.R.K. Potter for reviewing as well.
Chapter 10
"Ron, how come you never told me of this? You told me we should ignore him," Hermione said.
"Yeah, but that's only because you were upset that he ran that night. I didn't want you to be even more upset knowing that he didn't want to come back, I was only considering tour feelings," Ron replied.
Hermione 'hmphed' and quietly ate. Ron than immersed himself into a conversation with Lavender.
"So George, how's Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes going? Harry asked.
"Oh, business is good as ever. The kids at Hogwarts are trying to become the new pranksters of Hogwarts, but according to Dumbledore, nobody has taken our spots yet," George replied.
"Well it's good to know that my investment didn't go to waste then," Harry said.
"Did you ever expect that it would be?" Fred asked, joining the conversation.
"Yes," Harry said.
"Why?" Fred and George asked at the same time.
Harry couldn't keep it in any longer, he laughed.
"What?" George asked.
"Nah, I never thought it was a bad idea," Harry replied, eating some of his food.
"Good," Fred said before joining Ron's conversation with Lavender.
"So what do you do for work Harry?" Mr. Weasley asked him from down the table. "Something in the Muggle World I presume because no one's heard from you for a while."
"Well now that I'm trying to get my life into order – or as much order as my life can be taken into – I'm going to try to go into Auror training since I did get the grades for it," Harry said.
"That didn't answer Dad's question, Harry," Ron said.
"He's right Harry," Mr. Weasley said.
"Sorry Arthur. I actually don't work," Harry replied.
"And why is that, Harry?" Ron asked.
"I'd rather not get into it right now," Harry said.
"Leave him alone Ronnie," Mrs. Weasley said, grabbing her plate from the table.
"So Harry, when was the last time you played a game of Quidditch?" Charlie asked.
"The last game I played was at Hogwarts when we won the Cup in our seventh year," Harry replied.
"Fancy a game later tonight?" Charlie asked.
"Sure, I'd have to grab my broom though," Harry said.
"OK, you can grab it after dinner. Somebody could watch Hermia for you," Charlie said.
"OK, thanks. So who'd be on what team?" Harry asked.
"Hmm…I guess Alicia and Ginny can be Chasers, Draco as a Seeker, Bill as Keeper and George as a Beater on one team; and Angelia and me can be Chasers, you as a Seeker, Ron as Keeper and Fred as a Beater on the other team," Charlie replied.
"Sorry to have eavesdropped on your conversation with Harry, Charlie, but I can't play," Ginny said.
"Why not Gin?" Charlie asked.
"I guess this is the right time to tell everyone, don't you Draco?" Ginny asked, standing up.
"Yeah it is," Draco answered, standing beside his wife and wrapping an arm around her waist.
"I'm pregnant!" Ginny exclaimed.
'Congratulations!' rang through the yard as everyone hugged Ginny and Draco.
"They didn't know?" Harry whispered as he shook Draco's hand.
"No, you were the first to know," Draco whispered back.
"Now who can we get to be another Chaser?" Charlie asked once the 'congratulations' mood died down.
"How about me?" asked Jill, Charlie's girlfriend, before she kissed Charlie's cheek.
"You, I didn't you could even play!" Charlie exclaimed.
"Of course I can silly!" Jill laughed.
"OK, you're in then," Charlie said.
"Come on all of you have to help clean up," Mrs. Weasley said. Everybody started to grumble before laughing. "Harry, Hermione, Lavender, you three don't have to help with putting things away. Why don't you just clean up the kids, it looks like they were in some sort of food fight."
"OK Molly," Hermione said, taking Micheal's hand and taking him inside.
Harry picked up Hermia and grabbed Paula's hand as Lavender picked up Jeremy. They took all the kids into the bathroom and Hermione used a cleaning spell on all their clothes.
"Auntie Hermione, are you and Uncle Ron still getting married?" Micheal asked as Hermione cleaned off his face.
Hermione looked at Harry quickly before answering him. "I don't think we will be darling."
"Will we still see you?" Paula asked, tears rimming her eyes as Lavender tried to clean off the little girl's face.
"Of course you will! I won't stop coming around to see even you even if Uncle Ron and I won't be getting married," Hermione smiled. She looked at Harry who was trying to clean off Jeremy's face even though Jeremy was squirming like a worm. "Come here Jeremy." Jeremy ran from Harry to Hermione. "He only co-operates with people he knows really well."
"So I can see," Harry grinned.
"How are you holding up with yours and Ron's break-up?" Lavender asked as all of them left the bathroom.
"Really well, considering I didn't see it coming," said Hermione. "Maybe we weren't meant to be, maybe we're meant to be with someone else."
"Yeah, maybe," Lavender said, sounding like she wasn't paying attention.
"I'll be right back. I'm going to go home and grab my broom now that it's after dinner. Can you watch Hermia for me Hermione?" Harry asked.
"Yeah sure," Hermione said as Harry smiled and Disapparated.
Everybody was already at the little hill where they played Quidditch when Harry got back with his broom and a Snitch in case they needed it.
"Oi, Harry, there you are! We thought you ran off on us left your kid behind," Fred laughed.
"Nah, I love Hermia too much. It took me a while to find my broom, but I found it, I also brought a Snitch if we needed it," Harry replied, taking the Snitch out of his pocket.
"That's perfect because Charlie couldn't find our Snitch," Fred said. "Mom, Dad, Hermione, Lavender, Percy, Penelope and Ginny, can you all light your wands when it starts to get darker out? That is if we take that long."
They all said yes as Ginny took their old Quaffle to the center. "Ready?"
"Yes!" everyone said.
Ginny threw up the Quaffle as Percy let the Snitch go. Alicia grabbed the Quaffle and started to race down to Ron's hoop. Angelia tackled her and grabbed the Quaffle as Harry and Draco circled around looking for the Snitch. Harry spotted the Snitch, but to confuse his friend, he raced to other way as Charlie scored. Draco was following Harry full speed when Harry took a sharp turn and went back the other way. He lost sight of the Snitch, but then he saw it somewhere near Bill's hoop. Off he went again, Draco not far behind. Harry almost grabbed for the Snitch when Fred shot the Bludger his way so he ducked. The Snitch was within reach of Harry so he reached for it as Draco grabbed the back of his broom. He didn't care though, he had caught the Snitch.
"I caught it!" Harry yelled, going down to the ground to land.
"Impressive Potter, even after these years, you're still pretty damn good," Draco said. "So what's the score?"
"160-20," Charlie said. "Harry caught that Snitch pretty fast. Maybe you should try to be a Quidditch player instead of an Auror, Harry"
"I'll have to think about it Charlie," Harry said. "I actually got invited to play with Puddlemore United, but I turned them down."
"Why?" Charlie asked.
"I didn't want the publicity, I guess," Harry answered.
"Oh," was all Charlie said.
For the next hour or so, the adults played Quidditch (who were actually playing) while the children ran around. When it started to get darker out, everyone decided that they should go back inside, except for two people who wanted to talk to themselves and four listeners lurking in the bushes nearby.
A/N: Whew, another chapter done. Wow, already ten chapters, I'm very proud of myself!
LoL, anyways, you know what to do people, or at least you should know by now…. Can anyone guess who the six people left outside are? Hmmm…until next time!
