Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter(which includes any and all characters involved), All I own is the plot…or lack there of…and Karen and Gabriel (seems like in all of my stories I have to make up at least one character…maybe I should try writing one without doing that lol)
A/N: For some reason I haven't been able to write very well for My Girls or Why Romeo REALLY Killed Himself…so I thought if I wrote something else for a change it would help. This is a two chapter fic of 24 pages that really has no plot and is basically made of fluff but I thought it was cute and I hope you enjoy it! I'm sorry I won't be responding to reviews but you guys know I love ya! Lol. Thanks for reading and I'm really sorry for my delay on updates…I am trying. Thanks!
Now onto the fic!…The phone rang. Ronald Weasley rolled over and covered his head ignoring the incessant noise. After a few rings the answering machine picked up.
"RON, I know you're there and I didn't buy you that phone so it could be used as your alarm clock. PICK IT UP!" Hermione screamed on the other line. Ron groaned before finally picking up the receiver.
"Hello?" He groaned.
"Good, you're awake." Hermione said cheerfully.
"What is it?" Ron asked as he sat up in bed and rubbed at his eyes.
"I…I'm having another…problem." Hermione stated in a secret meaning. Ron stopped rubbing his eyes and set down his hand on the bed.
"What did you do this time?" Ron asked.
"Please, can you just come over? You wouldn't believe me even if I told you. I'm going to call Harry also." Hermione explained.
"Wow, this really is bad huh?" Ron asked.
"Please Ron…" Ron interrupted her plea.
"I'll be over as soon as I can." Ron nodded even though she couldn't see it.
"Thanks." With that Hermione hung up her phone followed by Ron.
Less than an hour later, Ron stood in front of Hermione's flat. He rang the doorbell and immediately it opened with Hermione leaning on the door.
"Thanks for coming Ron." Hermione said thankfully.
"What's going on?" Ron asked.
"I…I think you should come in." With that Hermione moved aside so he could get in before shutting the door. When Ron turned around his jaw dropped open at the sight before him.
"What the hell did you do?" He finally spit out.
Standing before him was Hermione and Draco…attached at the hip you could say. Draco's left hand was literally attached to the right side of Hermione's body. Hermione also had her right hand attached to Draco's chest.
"Do I even want to know what happened this time?" Ron asked. Before Hermione could answer a knock was heard and she answered the door. Ron could distinctly hear Harry giving her a warm welcome.
"Ron's here too." Hermione said as she opened the door and let in Harry. His surprise was much more verbal then Ron's.
"WHOA!"
Hermione ignored his comment and sat both boys down before sitting down with Draco.
"Will you move over Granger?" Draco complained. Hermione glared at him.
"How do you suppose I do that? Ripping your arm off?" Hermione motioned to her waist. Draco rolled his eyes.
"So, how'd it happen?" Harry asked curiously with a slight smile at his friend's expense. Draco seemed to be the only one to notice Harry's smile as he rolled his eyes.
"Well, we were assigned to go check out a top secret plant this morning and because I live closer to the area we thought we could sleep in more if Malfoy came here." Hermione began.
"But last night, on another mission we just finished up apparently we were hit with a potion so if we touched someone's skin then…well you can guess the effects." Draco drawled. Harry and Ron paused before breaking out into hysterical laughter.
"It's not funny!" Hermione cried sadly.
"So, did you call in sick?" Harry asked finally through laughs.
"Of course we did Potter, we weren't going to show up like this." Draco said gesturing with the hand that was not stuck to Hermione. Harry nodded while still smiling.
"Why don't you go into St. Mungos to have it looked at?" Ron asked.
Both stared at him blankly as though this was something they had never thought of.
"Why didn't you think of that?" Hermione asked Draco.
"Could have saved us some embarrassment." Hermione said with a slight blush.
"You're the smart one." Draco said before standing up and bringing Hermione with him.
"See you guys later, just lock the door when you leave." Hermione called before she and Draco took the fireplace to St. Mungos.
"Those two…" Harry mumbled. Ron nodded.
"So, what time is your mum's barbeque this Saturday at?" Harry asked curiously.
"Oh, I think around one but come a little early." Ron answered as they stood up and left the flat.
"So…bringing anyone?" Harry asked slyly. Ron sighed.
"I don't know…I met this girl…" Harry quickly interrupted.
"That's great! Who is she?" Harry asked with a pat on the back and a grin. Ron deserved some happiness.
"Her name's Karen…but she's a muggle." Ron explained. Harry gave a confused look.
"I didn't think you cared…" Harry began.
"I don't, believe me she's great, it's just…I haven't told her." Ron said sheepishly.
"You haven't told her…" Harry asked.
"That I'm a wizard." Ron whispered. Harry nodded.
"Oh!" Ron nodded.
"I've tried but…I just don't know how she'll take it." Ron explained nervously. Harry nodded.
"If she's as great as you say she is, then I think she won't think anything of it." Harry nodded knowingly. Ron nodded.
"I'm being foolish aren't I?" He asked with a smile.
"No, it's understandable. But I think you should tell her and introduce her to your mum." Harry said as they went outside into the street.
Ron left Harry and headed to Karen's house. Saturday was only two days away and he had a lot of explaining to do before then. As Ron approached her house he smiled.
"I could picture myself living here someday…" He thought as he rang the doorbell. He heard shuffling inside before the door opened a bit and a young boy stuck his head out. He looked up slowly and grinned.
"RON!" He cried as he flung open the door and jumped into the young man's arms.
"Hey kiddo. How you been?" Ron asked as he pulled the boy away to look at him.
"Good. Real good." The five year old stated energetically. Ron grinned.
"Where's your mum?" Ron asked.
"Inside, come on!" With that he jumped out of Ron's arms and ran into the house.
When Ron caught up he found the boy running straight to Karen who was sitting at the kitchen table. She looked up when she heard all the noise and grinned as she saw Ron coming.
"What a surprise." She said as she stood up and gave him a warm hug.
"Sorry it's been so long. I would have come sooner but my friend Hermione was having some work problems." Ron said sheepishly. Karen smiled brightly up at him.
She was a petite woman of a little over five feet, which was very short next to Ron. She had long beautiful brown hair and hazel eyes.
"Gabriel missed you too." Karen said with a smile at her son. Ron looked down slightly and immediately Karen knew something was wrong.
"What's wrong?" She asked searching his eyes for an answer.
"I need to tell you something…it's nothing terrible…but I've waited too long to tell you." Ron explained.
"You're not married are you Mr. Weasley?" Karen joked. Ron smiled.
"No, not married, no kids either in case you're wondering." He joked back.
"Come on, we'll talk in the living room. Gabriel you go clean your room alright?" Karen said sternly. Gabriel pouted but trudged up the stairs to his room.
When Karen and Ron sat down in the living room Ron became serious once again.
"This isn't going to be easy for you to believe and I know I should have told you sooner but…I was…and still am afraid of your reaction." Ron said while taking her hands. Karen gave him a confused look.
"Nothing could be worse than what I'm picturing in my mind what you could be trying to tell me Ron…please just tell me." Karen said softly.
"My mother is having a barbeque this weekend..." Karen stared at him for a moment before smiling.
"Ronald Weasley, you had me scared half to death just so you could tell me that?" Karen asked as she sighed with relief.
"Your mother can't be all that bad." Karen said with a grin.
"That is what you're asking isn't it? If I'll go?" Karen asked hopefully. Ron smiled and nodded.
"Of course I want you to go. I want to introduce you to my family but…my family isn't like most families that you know of…" Ron began.
"Oh Ronald, everyone says that about their family. Mine's a bit odd I must admit…" Ron interrupted her.
"No, Karen, this is important." Ron began. Karen went silent and nodded.
"I'm a wizard." Ron explained.
"A…a what?" Karen asked.
"A wizard. My whole family is made up of wizards and witches and I didn't want to scare you when you come…if you still want to come on Saturday." Ron explained hopefully.
"Ron…this doesn't make any sense." She began.
"I know it doesn't, but I was brought up in the wizarding world. It's been my whole life and I…I want to share it with you." Ron explained. Karen was staring at him as though he were crazy and would harm her at any moment. Ron sighed trying to find a way to explain this to her without scaring her out of her wits.
Ron stood up and Karen jumped.
"I'll prove it if you don't believe me." Ron said calmly. He looked around the room and saw a glass of water.
"Accio glass." He called while pointing his wand at the water. Karen stared at him as though he had lost his mind before the water glass came to him and he caught it in his grasp. Karen just gave Ron a horror stricken look.
"Karen, please say something." Ron asked.
"Wait, let me get this straight…" Ron nodded before slowly sitting back down next to her.
"You…you are a wizard, and you can do things like…like that?" She asked referring to when the glass flew to him. Ron nodded and smiled.
"I can do a heck of a lot more than that." Karen shook her head.
"I don't know how to take this Ron." She said confusedly. Ron frowned.
"Karen, I love you. I know I shouldn't have kept this from you but I was afraid of your reaction." Karen nodded.
"I love you too Ron." She said quietly after a moment's pause.
"But?" He asked. Karen finally looked up into his eyes.
"What about my butt?" She smiled. Ron grinned.
"So, you'll come?" He asked quietly. Karen nodded.
"You and Gabriel?" Ron asked. Karen nodded again. Ron grinned before giving her a kiss.
Hermione and Draco were finally unattached on Saturday and were leaving St. Mungos.
"Glad that's over with. But we missed our assignment." Hermione said with a pout. Draco smiled lightly and shook his head at his partner.
"Care to go to lunch Granger?" Draco suddenly asked. Hermione stared at him a bit surprised.
"Unless you're not hungry." He added quickly.
"Er…I am but Mrs. Weasley's having a barbeque and I…" Draco held up a hand.
"Then I'll see you later." He finished before continuing towards the fireplaces.
"Malfoy!" Hermione called after he took a few steps. He turned to look at her before she spoke.
"Would you like to come?" She asked.
"No thanks Granger. Tell them I said hi though. Malfoy Manor." With that Draco was gone in a flash of green flames.
Ron stared out the window nervously.
"Ron, you'd think we were going to meet my parents." Karen said with a laugh. Ron smiled.
"Your mother can't be all that bad." Karen said before looking out her own window.
"She isn't…I'm more worried about my brothers." Ron gulped. Karen turned to him.
"I never did ask, how many siblings do you have?" She asked curiously.
"Five older brothers and one younger sister." Ron said nervously.
"Oh my." Karen said shocked. Ron nodded with a slight smile.
"We're here." He stated and all three climbed out of the car at the burrow.
"This is where you grew up? It's amazing. Do you really own this much land?" Karen asked amazed. Ron nodded with a smile.
"Home sweet home." He said before taking her hand as she took Gabriel.
"What do you think sweety?" Karen asked her son. The young boy stared at the house amazed. Karen just laughed before following Ron to the door. He opened it and walked inside.
"HELLO!" He called.
"We're in back!" Molly called from outside. Ron grinned before looking at Karen who was staring amazed at the sink as it washed dishes all on its own.
"Come on." Ron said taking her out back.
"Oh Ron, look at you!" Molly cried before kissing her son's cheek and giving him a warm hug.
"Have you grown more?" She asked him.
"No mum." Ron smiled.
"I have a surprise for you though." Ron blushed. Molly gave her son a smile before he stepped aside to show her Karen and Gabriel.
"Hello Mrs. Weasley." Karen said politely. Molly grinned.
"Welcome! Please call me Molly dear I feel much less old." She cried before giving them both a warm hug.
"Mum, this is my girlfriend Karen and her son Gabriel." Ron explained.
"Oh it's been lovely to meet you. How long have you and Ron been seeing each other?" Molly asked curiously.
"A few months." Karen answered with a smile at her boyfriend.
"Well, come on in and make yourselves at home, the boys are all playing Quidditch and not everyone has arrived yet." Molly explained.
As they walked away Karen leaned over to Ron.
"What's Quibbiditch?" Ron laughed.
"Quidditch." He began and she blushed lightly.
"It's a sport for wizards." Ron explained.
"Come on and I'll show you how it works." Ron said taking her hand and leading her to the field.
"Hey, Ron's here!" A young red headed girl cried before she flew down on a broomstick and jumped off to hug Ron.
"Took you long enough to get here…you didn't happen to see my boyfriend on his way did you?" Ginny asked.
"No I didn't but come here, I want you to meet someone."
"Ginny, this is my girlfriend Karen and her son Gabriel, Karen, Gabriel, this is my younger sister Ginny." Ron introduced.
"Lovely to finally meet you." Ron gave Ginny a confused look.
"Harry mentioned you fancied someone." Ginny explained. Ron blushed. When Ginny had flown over to Ron, the other redheaded men flew down to see him also.
"Look, Ron's finally got himself a girl." One of the twins said before grabbing their younger brother and teasing him.
"Careful with him, wouldn't want to kill him after he finally found a young lady." The other twin spoke up. Karen laughed as Ron finally freed himself from his brothers.
"Karen, Gabriel, these are my brothers, Fred, George, Percy, Charlie and Bill." Ron said pointing to each of them in turn.
"Guys, this is Karen and her son Gabriel." Ron introduced.
"Pleasure to meet you." Karen said politely.
"Same here." Bill commented for everyone.
Just then Mr. Weasley came over and was also introduced to Karen and her son.
"Hermione and Harry are here." Karen gave Ron a questioning look.
"Harry and Hermione are my best friends." Ron explained to her as they approached.
"Oy Harry! We need a new Seeker! Ginny's horrible!" Fred called. Harry grinned but Ginny began to swat at her brother.
"I am not horrible." Ginny pouted.
"Sorry I'm late." Harry said changing the subject and giving Ginny a kiss.
"I see you've unhooked yourself 'Mione." Ron commented. Hermione blushed and everyone but Harry and Ron looked puzzled.
"So, who's this lovely young lady you're courting?" Hermione asked.
"Oh, Karen and Gabriel, this is Harry Potter and Hermione Malfoy...oops I mean Granger." Ron grinned.
"Food's ready!" Molly called and everyone left to the table to eat.
"Have you seen Ron eat yet?" Hermione asked Karen. Karen grimaced and nodded. Hermione laughed. Ron pouted.
It was a wonderful meal up until Hermione found one of Fred and George's snacks. Apparently with this little device the person who ate it would change color.
"Er…Hermione?" Ron asked.
"Yes?" Hermione asked, turning to her friend as she turned purple.
"Are you…" Harry began.
"Fred! George! I said no tricks of yours at the table!" Molly yelled angrily at her twins.
"What did they do?" Hermione asked nervously.
"You're just purple. It'll wash off the next time you take a shower." Fred explained. Hermione sighed before turning to Molly.
"Would you mind if I took a shower?" She asked politely.
"Not at all dear, it's the least we could do." Molly said politely before continuing to yell at her boys.
Karen stared at Hermione shocked as the girl left indoors. She was purple! Ron noticed her expression and frowned at his brothers. They weren't helping Ron impress Karen in the least.
"My brothers are inventors…they make little snack things that do different stuff to the person who eats them." Ron explained.
"They're really nice unless you're on their bad side." Ron explained.
"Bit of a trickster them two." Ginny joined in the conversation.
"Don't worry though, they only play pranks on people they know or the ones they're mad at. Ron here got warts across his face once when they were mad." Ginny said. Karen smiled lightly at the image.
"AHH!" A crash was heard inside and immediately everyone got up to run in. When they entered Ron and Harry began to snicker. Draco was laying flat on his back in the middle of the living room covered in soot. Beside him was a toy truck that Molly had found for Gabriel to play with and apparently he left it near the fireplace.
"Where'd he come from?" Karen asked quietly so she didn't sound too stupid.
"The fireplace, it's a major form of transportation." Ron explained. Karen nodded in wonder.
"Who is he?" Karen asked.
"Malfoy, need some help up?" Harry offered politely with a smile. Draco groaned.
After standing up and after Ron explained that Draco was Hermione's partner, Draco looked around the group obviously looking for someone.
"Where's Granger?" He asked finally.
"In the shower." Ron and Harry answered at once. Draco raised an eyebrow but didn't comment. He quickly ran up the stairs.
"What's he doing?" Ron mumbled.
"Is he deaf?" Ron continued. Before they knew it they heard a scream that was definitely Hermione's before they heard her yelling.
"Malfoy I am not…! What! Well what are you waiting for!" The group downstairs gave one another odd looks.
"I was waiting for you Granger now get some clothes on and let's go." Draco called. Within moments Hermione was on her way downstairs with a t-shirt on and a sweatshirt over her head but not quite all the way down to her waist and she was pulling up her pants as she hobbled down the stairs with Draco walking in front of her.
"Er…sorry to interrupt." Draco shrugged.
"I'm sorry too, but the case we've been working on for months might finally be over. Lovely meal Molly, nice meeting you Karen and of course Gabriel, bye everyone!" She called before hopping into the fireplace and disappearing in a green flame. Draco followed shortly after.
"I'd almost say she was a work-aholic if Malfoy wasn't with her constantly." Harry grinned.
"You take the back, I'll go in the front." Draco whispered. Hermione gave him a frown.
"Fine, we'll go in together. Count of three." Hermione smiled and nodded.
"One…two…three!" Wands ready and they both ran into an old building that had been deserted for quite some time by the looks. Immediately after entering the blasts began. Draco and Hermione had no place to go and that's when the trouble started.
"Well, what'd you think?" Ron asked nervously. He, Karen and Gabriel were on their way back to Karen's place. Karen smiled at Ron.
"I had a wonderful time. It's going to take me some getting used to though." Karen admitted. Ron nodded.
"I wonder how much time it took for Hermione to get used to magic…although she had found out she was a witch instead of just finding out it existed." Ron thought aloud.
"She wasn't brought up in the magical world?" Karen asked curiously. Ron shook his head.
"No, she was brought up by muggles…" Ron began.
"Muggles? What's that?" Karen asked.
"Non magical people." Ron explained.
"So I'm a muggle?" Karen asked. Ron smiled and nodded. Karen shrugged.
"So what about Harry?" Karen asked. Ron took a glance at Gabriel who was listening intently.
"I'll tell you about him later." Karen followed his eyes to Gabriel and nodded.
"This is all so amazing. To find out there's another world out there filled with magic. I wish I were a witch." Karen sighed.
"Why? I mean, sure the magical part of things is nice but it's really almost the same as being muggle. Not that I would really know, I don't think I've gone through one day of my life without seeing or doing magic." Ron said.
"So, Draco is Hermione's partner?" Karen asked suddenly. Ron nodded.
"They seem more like a couple to me." Karen remarked with a smile. Ron grinned.
"That's what Harry's been saying and I'm not too sure he's wrong." Ron smiled.
"You don't like him?" Karen stated it more than asked. Ron sighed.
"We all went to school together, at Hogwarts and Malfoy wasn't…exactly a friend." Ron explained. Karen nodded.
"Well, school's over now. He couldn't have been too terrible." Karen nodded knowingly.
"I suppose not, it's just, old rivalries die hard I guess." Ron explained.
"They don't for Hermione." Karen pointed out. Ron smiled.
"Okay, you got me." He sighed still with a smile. Karen smiled as well.
Hermione slowly opened her eyes. She squinted at the brightness of the white room she was currently in.
"Warehouse." Was the first thing that came to mind before she shot up.
"She's awake." Someone said before a nurse came to her side.
"Thank goodness you're alright Miss Granger." The nurse said soothingly.
"How…how long have I been here?" She croaked out. Her throat was very dry as though she hadn't had a drink in days.
"Here, drink this." The nurse handed her some water. Hermione smiled thankfully before gulping down the entire glass in one go.
"You've been here for a few days now but we haven't found anything wrong with you except you wouldn't wake up." The nurse explained as she drank.
Hermione nodded and finally set down the glass.
"Where's Malfoy?" Hermione said more clearly. The nurse pointed to the bed next to her. Hermione turned and found Draco sound asleep with a smile gracing his lips and his blond hair falling into his eyes. Surrounded by all of the white he resembled an angel. Hermione tore her eyes away from her partner and turned back to the nurse.
"What happened?" The nurse frowned.
"I'm not entirely sure. You arrived here a few nights ago completely exhausted. The minister came in here a few days prior to your arrival and said you'd been missing for almost a week."
Hermione bit her lip in thought. "How come I don't remember anything?" She thought. Suddenly there was a groan and she turned to find Draco sitting up with his head in his hands. The nurse quickly rushed to his side.
"Thank goodness you're alright Mr. Malfoy." The nurse said with a sigh. Draco finally looked up.
"Where's Granger?" He croaked out. "Drink this." The nurse handed him a glass of water and he quickly gulped it down.
"Wh-where's Granger?" He said more smoothly. The nurse pointed to Hermione and when he turned he seemed almost relieved.
"Do you remember what happened?" Hermione asked. Draco frowned but shook his head.
"I just remember breaking into that old building and being hit with a blast." Draco said as he rubbed his head in pain.
"I'll get the doctor to check you both out and if nothing's wrong then you can leave." They both nodded.
"Thank you." Hermione said as the nurse ran off to find a doctor.
Hermione and Draco walked into Hermione's flat almost two hours after waking up.
"Want a drink?" Hermione offered. Draco nodded before sitting on her couch. Hermione grabbed some fire whiskey and sat down with him.
"I wonder what our next assignment is." Draco thought aloud before taking a swig. Hermione shrugged.
"I'd be happy if we got a break." Hermione voiced. Draco gave her a smirk.
"What?" Hermione asked.
"The great Hermione Granger wants a break? You just had over a week off." Draco teased. Hermione smiled.
"I mean, a real vacation. I've always wanted to go to the Bahamas to see the sandy beaches and maybe even get a tan." Hermione shrugged. Draco nodded.
"That would be nice." Draco dazed off for a moment. Suddenly he shot up with a yelp.
"What the fuck!" He yelled. Hermione stood up as well.
"What is it?" She asked. Draco turned and Hermione saw his pants were on fire.
"Oh my god!" Hermione screeched. Draco began to pat it out but it only seemed to make it worse. Soon the rug was on fire. Hermione panicked and grabbed a blanket to put it out.
With one swift motion the blanket turned to ice and it crashed into millions of pieces as it hit the floor. Next Hermione reached up her hand and the fire on Draco's pants went out. They both stood there panting for breath.
"What…the hell…was that?" Draco asked between breaths. Hermione looked at the mess before replying.
"I…I'm not sure." She breathed before looking at her hands.
"I think we have another problem." Hermione said before looking at Draco who was examining the burn on his leg. He nodded and Hermione looked at the burn. A handprint.
I think this is the longest chapter I have ever written…12 pages! I hope you like it and I do apologize if it's completely pointless, the second half is really my favorite part. R&R please! Thanks! Ttyl!
