Facing Unexpected Changes

Chapter 3

Daffnie

When Hermione woke up she could feel someone stroking her hair, well maybe more like tugging than stroking, but still.  She rolled over and saw Aaron smiling at her angelically.

"You need to get up and get dressed so we can go shopping," Aaron said

"I am dressed." she said looking down at her normal P.J.s, a bra and panties.  " Oh maybe you have a point."

Aaron walked over to her dresser, in his little kid waddle, and got out a blue tank top and a pair of jeans, then threw them to her.  They flopped somewhat pathetically three feet away from her bed, so she bent down and picked them up

"Go take a shower, your hair is all messed up." Aaron said looking at her hair in disgust

"Thanks Aaron," she said as she dropped the clothes he'd handed her and stated tickling him.

"Hehehehehe! NO! hehehehahahahahahahahaa! STOP! HEHEHEHEHEHEH! HAHAHAHAHAH! I'LL! HEHE! GET! HAHAHA! YOU! HAHAH! FOR! HEHE! HAHAHAH! THIS!!" Aaron shouted

Then a freckled face appered at the door and started laughing at the sight of Hermione and Aaron an the floor having a tickle war.

"I'll go make breakfast" Ron said and then left

"NO RON! AHHHHH! Come, hahah! Back, heheh! Hes! Haha! Gonna! HAHAHA! Kill, me! HAHAHAH!!" Hermione yelled an as Aaron got control and started to tickle her

About ten minutes later, Aaron came down stairs still giggling.

"Do you two do that every morning?" Ron asked Aaron when he say him.

" Not every morning, but sometimes." Aaron replied

"You two remind me of Fred and George when they were younger." Ron said laughing

" Who's that?" Aaron asked

"My older twin brothers, you'll meet them tonight along with everybody else." Ron said "Is Mione in the shower?" he asked

"Yep, wanna turn the hot water heater off?" Aaron suggested with an evil glint in his young eyes

"Sure why not," Ron answered, thinking about how hot she was when she was pissed and narrowly missing having to take a very, very cold shower, " but if she gets mad which is inevitable, it's your idea, ok?"

"Ya ok, what's inevitable?" Aaron asked

"Never mind" Ron said laughing at the confused look on Aaron's face

"Lets go then. We can make breakfast when she we get back," Aaron said happily " We should do something to her breakfast too, like put cockroaches."

"Aaron there's two things you have to remember when your trying to make you sisters life hell." Ron said smiling evilly

"What's that" Aaron asked in mock interest

"Everything in moderation, and I'll always be here to pummel you if you get out of hand."

"Oh, ok lets go." Aaron said

So Aaron and Ron went off to the boiler room to turn off the hot water heater.

 "Which switch is it?" Ron asked

"This one, I think" Aaron said sounding totally unsure

Click

The lights went out

'What the hell" they heard Hermione scream

"Wrong one" Ron laughed

 "Oops!!" Aaron said looking guilty and mischievous all at once

"Ok, how bout this one" Ron suggested

Click

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

"Yep that's the one" Aaron giggled

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"RON I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!" Hermione yelled running towards Ron in the kitchen five minutes later as Aaron laughing in the background.

"What!?! Why me?!" Ron asked bewildered

Then she hit him and they both fell to the floor.  Hermione was straddling him on the floor with her hands on his bare chest one second and the next Ron was on top he said "Good morning Mione" and rolling off her

"Oh my back" Ron moaned

Hermione giggled feebly, "There are ice packs in the freezer, I'm gonna call Daffnie and see if she wants to come over for breakfast, and then go shoping with us."

Hermione walked off to go call Daffnie as she yelled "And I'll get you a shirt"

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 "Hello Daffnie," Hermione said into the phone

"Oh hi Hermione"

"I was wondering if you wanted to come over for breakfast and then go shopping with us?"

"Sure, I'll be over in 10 minutes"

"See you soon"

"Ok, bye"

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When Hermione went back to the kitchen, Ron and Aaron were making a mess that they called waffles.  There was flour all over the place and Aaron had spilled the baking powder.

"Your not used to cooking are you?" Hermione asked Ron

"I am, just not used to cooking with out a wand" he said jokingly and then froze

Hermione look at Aaron nervously

"What's a wand" he asked as if on que.

"My mom, I call her wand cause her names Wanda" Ron answered lamely

Ding-dong

"Ron can you go get the door" Hermione asked

"Um I'm not wearing a shirt." He said looking down

"Oh good point" she said handing Ron a shirt and heading toward the door

"Hello Daffnie"

"Hi Hermione"

"Hi Hermie" Daffnie's 2 year old daughter Annie said

"It smells odd in here"

"Ya Aaron and Ron are making Waffles I the kitchen" Hermione said as she started laughing

"Oh, Whos Ron." Daffnie asked

"Oh, I'm sorry he's my boyfriend I met him at Hogwarts."

"Oh!! He's Harry's friend.  Correct?" Daffnie asked with an odd look on her face

"Ya, best friend."

"Well lets go to the kitchen so I can meet this guy.  He must be wonderful if he's been with you for more than two weeks and met your family."  Daffnie teased

Hermione laughed with Daffnie and led her to the kitchen fallowed by Annie, but when they got to the kitchen Hermione stopped and had to clutch the wall for support from laughing along with Daffnie and Annie. There was a cloud of flour in the air, and Ron and Aaron were in the middle of the kitchen having a tickle war, as soon as they heard the others laughing, they both straightened up and walked over to the door brushing flour off of themselves.  Aaron kept looking at Ron and coping everything he did

"Hello" Daffnie said

"Hi" Ron replied reaching out to shake Daffnies hand

 Daffnie paused for a moment still holding Ron's hand

"You have a brother?" she asked letting go of his hand

"Ya, five actually Fred, George, Percey, Bill, Charlie and one sister; Ginny." Ron replied

"Did you say Charlie?" Daffnie asked shifting uncomfortably

"Ya, do you know him." Ron asked sounding interested

"I might, I'm not sure. Dose he work with dragons?" Daffine asked still looking a bit awkward

"Ya, In Romania." Ron said still sounding interested

"Ya, I was there two years ago, training dragons, and Charlie was in my group, he's a nice guy."

"Oh, that's cool." Ron said shooting Hermione an inquisitive look.  Hermione looked at Daffnie suspiciously, she knew her Aunt well enough to know that they had been more than just friends, but she decided to let it go for the moment.  She looked back at Ron and gave him an I'm not sure look.

"So let's finish making breakfast, and get going." she smiled at Ron and he smiled back

"I want to finish making breakfast with Aaron, you ladies can go, sit down, and talk about something, If you don't mind of course." Ron said, still smiling.

"Ok," Hermione said, "but you have to clean it up when your done, and remember, were not at school, so you'll have to do it the hard way."

"Ok, go talk." he said smiling again

Daffnie left the kitchen, smiling and Hermione followed caring Annie

"Daffnie, I was wondering if um, A- " Hermione was cut off in the process of trying to find out more about her relationship with Charlie.

"No prob. Monie, I'll take Aaron tonight, and I'll take him somewhere this afternoon, so that you can bake, and decorate without distraction, on that note maybe I should take Ron too." Daffine teased.

"Hermione laughed, and said "Na he's a help, when he's not thinking about what guys his age think about."

Daffnie laughed, "I remember being sixteen, it was fun, and it also wasn't that long ago, only 4 years",

"Ya, when were you in Romania." Hermione laughed, "What did you do in Romania besides train dragons?"

"Look Hermione, can we talk about that another time?" Daffnie said shifting again

"Sure." Hermione agreed making a mental note to come back to the subject later.

"About tonight, I guess it's just a kid thing, like you want me to not be there." Daffine asked

" No, you can stay, you just might get scared." Hermione teased

"Oh I doubt I'll get scared Mione." Daffnie laughed "I've seen and done many more scary things." Daffnie and Hermione looked at Annie and laughed. 

"All the Weasley's are coming, that is except Molly and Aurther." Hermione said waiting for Daffnie's usual sleep excuse that she used to get out of everything.

"Oh, well um on second thought, I probably shouldn't stay, you know I have to get Annie and Aaron to bed before 9:30 and ya, I need sleep too."

Hermione giggled at Daffnie's rambling, she knew Daffnie well enough to know that she was uncomfortable about something, and she was pretty sure she knew what.  She hadn't been nervous around Ron but at any other mention of the rest of his family she turned red and started stuttering. Then Hermione heard Ron coming from Kitchen, oh well she'd have to talk to Daffnie about it later.
