A/N- Big surprise coming in this chapter!
Ron:
The two years flew by, and just as Hazel predicted, Jake, Ollie and the twins were some force to be reckoned with.
There was Alex, with her golden brown curls, bright blue eyes and cute smile, looking like a baby angel but with the temper of a devil if things didn't go her way. The spitting image of Hermione. She was the only girl in the family and spoiled rotten for it.
Archie. Blue eyes and thick golden brown hair, just like Alex but with dimples to rival Harry's. He was the mastermind- disabling the baby gate while Alex and the other two distracted everyone. He was so intelligent, just like his mother.
Jake, with his Auburn hair, big brown eyes and chubby cheeks, was as adorable as Harry had been at that age. With his cute lisp, he was the actor. He'd always trick us.
And Ollie, the spitting image of Penelope. His red hair curled in ringlets, and he had the most expressive blue-green eyes. If Jake's acts didn't work, Ollie would start crying and throwing tantrums, distracting all of us. He wasn't a bit like Percy.
I'd spent the whole day looking after the lot of them while the other parents were at work. I was off for stress. Ginny and Percy had just come to collect their respective children. I was currently lying on the couch, dosing, as I was so exhausted after a full day chasing hyperactive 2 year olds round. I'd got the twins to have a nap and I was waiting for Harry arrive from playschool and Hermione to arrive from work.
"Hey, Ron wake up"
"Wha?" I said, rubbing my eyes. Hermione was standing in front of me.
"Just thought I'd remind you I'm going out tonight, and Harry's already in, he's playing in the garden. But I suggest you make him some tea soon, he was moaning all the way back" She was wearing a casual, low cut red dress, and had her hair curled. "Do I look alright?"
"Yeah" I said, sitting up, "Where you going?"
Hermione rolled her eyes, "Cassies leaving do? You know, Cassie Holloway, only my ex head of department. I'm taking over from her, Ronald"
"Oh yeah!" I said, remembering a conversation Hermione and me had had about it a few days ago, "What time will you be back?"
"Late" She grinned, "You know what Cassies like, we'll probably ending going on a full bar trawl or something, so don't wait up"
"Okay," I scowled, "But if any man touches you I'll break his neck"
"Ron! It's a girl's night out! No men" She said, looking shocked, "and anyways, I'm 30 years old with 3 kids. No man will go near me"
"Just as long as they don't" I got up to kiss her, "Have a good time"
"Okay" She smiled "Bye" and with a loud crack she was gone.
It's going to be a long night.
Hermione:
"Oh, she's here! 'Mione, you do look simply gorgeous!"
I'd apparated into the leaky cauldron. All my lady colleagues where sat round a table with glasses of wine, looking excited. We were going out in to muggle London.
"Thanks" I grinned nervously, sitting down next to Susan Bones; she pushed a glass of wine into my hands.
"Right" Cassie drained the remainder of her wine, "Were going to get totally slued tonight girls, no excuses. And lets all let our hair down, forget about the stress of work. Maybe even get a few men!"
"Im married" I said, displaying my diamond wedding ring, "Im definatly not on the pull, after all, Ron would break a guys legs if he so much as looked at me"
"Don't worry Hermione, we wont tell him" Jackie Glass, my assistant, giggled.
"Oh, its fine, Jacks, the girl doesn't want to" Susan said, "Well, she says she doesn't"
"Right" Cassie clapped her hands together, "Where wasting good time out here. Lets go"
We made our way out onto the strip, past clubs full of drunk and drugged teens, classy bars, and smoking dens. Cassie stopped us in front of a bar/club called, 'Blush'.
"Er, isn't this a bit, well, young?" I asked doubtfully, my eyes falling on the line of teenagers at the side.
"Lighten up 'Mione, your only 30" Asha Begum sighed. I didn't like her at all, as she had a crush on Ron, and was always flirting with him.
"Oh, go on then" I said, as Cassie muttered a spell so we could jump the queue.
The music blared loudly and the dance floor was packed. Cassie conjured us some muggle alcopops.
I had drunk a lot that night. I was just joining in, having a great time. Gradually, the girl's disappeared off with other men. Only me and Susan, the married girls, remained together.
"Want to dance?" Some guy asked Susan. He only looked about 23.
"Sure!" She said, walking off with him. I suddenly felt out of place, dancing on my own amongst all these young people.
"You look lost" I turned around. The most gorgeous man stood there, grinning at me.
He had chocolate brown eyes, ones that you could just lose yourself in. His jet-black hair was spiked up. He was tall, possibly as tall as Ron, with very dark skin. He looked like he might have Nigerian blood. The perfect word to describe him was dark. He was dressed head to foot in black.
"Not really, well, yeah" I stuttered nervously, taking aback that such a gorgeous guy was showing an interest in me.
"Do you want to dance?" He asked, taking his hand in mine.
A bit of dancing can do no harm, I thought. "Yeah" I said confidently, letting him lead me through the crowd of people.
"So, what's your name?" He shouted over the loud music. The song was blink 182, feeling this.
"Hermione" I shouted back
"Call me Jason" He grinned, as the song ended, "Do you want a drink?"
"Yeah, go on then"
He led me to the bar, and bought a cocktail, called 'sex on the beach'.
"You from round here?" He asked, as I twirled the cocktail umbrella round the glass. I was feeling quite giddy, and, well, rebellious. I was clearly drunk.
"Nearby"
Jason's face fell as he looked at my hand, "Your married" He said, looking disappointed.
"Used to be," I said, not knowing why. I took another drink.
"Come again?" He asked confusedly
"I used to be married" I felt like I didn't have a care in the world.
Jason's face positively lit up. "Why do you wear the wedding ring then?"
"Dunno. Force of habit, I suppose"
"Well then" He snaked an arm round my waist, "If you're not married, you wont mind me" He leaned a little closer, "Doing this" He whispered the last part, catching my lips in his own.
I didn't even think of Ron as I deepened the kiss. I felt on top of the world, even young again.
"You" Jason said breathlessly between kisses, "Are. One. Amazing. Woman"
I pulled away, and knocked the rest of my drink back.
"Your not so bad yourself" I whispered, leaning forward for another kiss.
"Get a room!" The bartender said, sounding disgusted. I giggled.
"Maybe we should," He whispered
I didn't even hesitate. I didn't care that my friends were in the same club and could be watching everything that was happening. All I cared about, at that moment, was Jason.
"Ok" I smiled, as he steered me away from the bar, "Where are we going?"
"My place" He bent down and kissed me again. "I live just a street away"
He led me out into the dark April night. The streets were full of couples leaving bars, going in various directions. I couldn't stop giggling.
"Here we are," He said seductively, opening the door.
I couldn't take much of the room in. Jason dived on me the moment the door was shut, but from what I seen I deduced it was a flat.
Little did I know how much I would live to regret this night.
A/N- oooh! Hermiones been cheating...tut tut. R&R
