"Good morning ladies!" A voice boomed across the white stone of the Arrivals Hall. Hermione, looking around, saw no-one but herself and Lavender in the immense room.
"Welcome to Merlin's Island. You will find maps of the Island and your room keys in the small white box at your feet." They looked down, and sure enough a white box at their feet appeared, filled with brochures and white key cards.
"You are accommodated in Hut 182. Just go through the yellow door on your left and walk along the beach until you find it. Have a pleasant stay." The voice said.
Charming the bags to make them float along behind their owners, the two girls did so. Upon opening said yellow door, which read 'Beach Strand' on small black writing on it, they were confronted with a beautiful stretch of sand and sea that seemed to go on forever. There were lots of people out on the beach, having fun and swimming in the water. They walked along the path until they found Hut 182.
"Wow. I'm impressed." Lavender said. The small, two-storey hut was filled with luxuries. There were two bedrooms with on-suite bathrooms, a small kitchenette, a living room/ dining room, a TV room with a large stereo. Behind the hut was a large Square, in the centre of which was a swimming pool surrounded by deckchairs. There were a couple of Jacuzzis in each corner of the square. Hermione began to read all the tourist leaflets that were in the white box. She learned that there was one Square for every ten huts, and that their particular Square was called Palmtree Area. After using various unpacking spells, they flipped through the rest of the brochures.
"Hey, Herms, lets go clubbing tonight. My friend Cory was here and he said the nightclubs were awesome."
"Sounds good to me. Can I borrow your cell phone? I left mine at home, but I promised I'd call Ginny when we got here."
"Yeah, sure." Lavender tossed her friend the small blue phone. "I'm going to sunbathe, I'll see you later. Say hi to Ginny for me." She grabbed a towel from the rack by the door and sauntered out.
Hermione dialled Ginny's number. She picked up on the third ring.
"Hello?" said a very grumpy female voice.
"Hi Gin, it's me."
"Hi."
"Lav says hello- what's wrong? You sound really down."
"Yeah, I was up all night and now Jack is giving me hell." Ginny yawned. "What's that weird noise in the background?" Hermione asked.
"Let me go check- oh god! Jack, no! Don't do that! Leave Mommy's goldfish alone!" there was a series of squelching noises.
"Herms? Are you still there?" Ginny said breathlessly a few minutes later.
"Yes. What was that?"
"Jack tried to eat my goldfish."
"Again? He must be really hyper this week."
"I know. If this baby is anything like Jack then I'll kill myself." Ginny wailed.
"That's just the hormones talking. And anyway, it could be a girl."
"So? Girls can be just as bad, if not worse. What the hell have I got myself into? Maybe I should just put Jack up for adoption and foster this baby-"
"You don't mean that." Hermione interrupted. "Anyway, it's only two more months to go. And maybe Jack will get less hyper as he grows older- he's only three, after all."
"You're right. I don't mean it." Ginny said, her voice considerably softer. "After all, Jack's all I have left of Harry."
"Harry would love to see him as he is today, I'm sure of it. Jack looks just like him with red hair."
"Well, actually, it's green right now. He found my wand the other day and accidentally hexed himself. The spell isn't wearing off, so I guess I'll take him to St. Mungo's later on."
"Did you try the counter-hex?" Hermione asked.
"Of course I tried the counter hex! Do you think I'm stupid or something!" Ginny yelled.
"No, of course I don't think that."
"Seamus does." Ginny snapped.
"Did you fight again?"
"Yes. And who are you to talk? You and Ron fought all the time, it's a bloody good thing you didn't marry him-"
"Gin, I didn't say anything."
"Oh. Sorry."
"Don't worry about it. I have to go, tell Seamus hello from me when he comes home."
"If he comes home."
"He will. Don't worry."
"I don't know- oh SHIT! Jack, NO! How many times have I told you, you DON'T HIT MOMMY'S FLOOR WITH SEAMUS' HAMMER-"
The line went dead a few seconds later. Smiling to herself, Hermione changed into her bikini and went outside to join Lavender.
************************************************************************A/N: ok, I just realised that this story isn't too great so far. However, I have been working on it for ages and I swear to god it gets waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better, so just bear with me. And if you review, it'll get better even faster!
