Chapter Eight: Pillow Fights

Ginny's eyes fluttered open when she heard the toilet in the room next to hers flush. She rolled over to get out of bed but she noticed she rolled onto something hard.

It was the divorce papers… and they were signed…

Ginny set them on the table next to her bed and stretched as she got out. She walked into the living room and noticed her mum was snoring on the old rocker and dad was listening to an old fashion muggle radio as he jinxed it so he could listen to the Quidditch World Cup Finals. It was Chudley Cannons against Puddlemere United. It was obvious who were in the lead… 50 to 250.

"God Almighty daddy, why do you still pay attention to the scores when you know Chudley Cannons haven't won a game since the 1890's?" she said as Ron came running through the door followed by a tired looking Hermione and a sleeping Sam cradled in her arms.

Ginny looked at the odd sight before her and rolled her eyes. Hermione looked very tired- and cranky! Sam's eyes were drooping slowly. Ron, on the other hand, was wide awake as he quickly took the seat right next to the radio and put his ear up against the speaker.

"Oh no! I missed the first half of the game?" Ron said looking quite down in the dumps at this news as the speaker at the QWC announced a commercial break.

"You didn't miss a lot. The Cannons suck, as usual," said Ginny looking at him snottily.

Ron glared but took off his jacket to reveal his bright orange robe with a Chudley Cannons pin on the right side. He adjusted it proudly and walked over to take Sam out of Hermione's arms and put him in Ron's old room. Hermione sat on the rocker next to Molly and before you knew it, Hermione was fast asleep too.

"Wow it would've been great to go to the QWC's this year. I think the Chudley Cannons just might win!" said Ron happily walking back into the room.

Ginny looked at him like he was crazy. "Ron, even if the Cannons do get the Snitch, they will still loose! If you haven't noticed, Puddlemere United is up by 200 points now. Do you really think they will win? I mean, come on! Puddlemere United is the best team since… forever! The Cannons don't stand a chance."

Ron growled but didn't say anything as he walked over back to his chair and sat in it grumpily. Ginny smirked and poured herself a glass of milk and listened to the rest of the QWCs. Puddlemere United, of course, won by 350 points as they announced Oliver Wood at the very end of the game.

"So Oliver, how does it feel to be the winning team 10 years in a row?" asked a reporter at the end of the game.

There were a few shouts in the background as Oliver said, "Wow, it's quite-!"

"Yada yada yada," said Ron grumpily, flicking off the radio and crossing his arms over his chest.

"I told you so…" said Ginny in a small voice. Arthur sighed and Ron threw a pillow right in her face.

"Shut up Gin!" said Ron causing Molly to awake with a start.

"What are you two bickering about now?" asked Molly rubbing her eyes and getting up to stretch.

"Oh Ron's just mad because Chudley Cannons lost…"

"Again…" said Molly and Ginny together. Ron glared at his mum and sister and looked at his dad angrily.

"What do you say we teach these ladies a lesson?" asked Ron, practically growling.

Arthur nodded and glared at his wife. "Honey, you are messing with the wrong men!" he said hotly.

"Puh-leeze! We are three steps ahead of you!" said Molly grabbing the nearest pillow and tossing it at her husbands face.

It all ended when Ron threw a pillow at the sleeping Hermione who awoke with a start. The room went silent…

She looked around at them strangely. Arthur was covering his face, Molly and Ginny held pillows and Ron had this shocked expression on his face. She looked at them like they were all crazy as she picked up the pillow and tossed it at Ron's face. He blinked at her and looked stupidly at the pillow that lay at his feet.

Hermione smirked and murmured something under her breath which sounded something similar to, "I can't believe I actually married into this family."

Ron looked up at the smirking Hermione like she was crazy. She returned his gaze with a wide smirk. "What's the matter Ron? Cat got your tongue? Or don't tell me you're afraid to hit your wife with a pillow?" she said. This made Ron super mad.

"No! I can hit you any day!" Ron knew, of course, he couldn't. He had always been way too sweet.

"Try me…" Hermione said winking at Ginny. Ginny smirked.

Ron picked up the pillow, almost in slow motion and brought it up to his face. He stared at it for a few seconds and tossed it lightly at Hermione.

She caught it and said in a childish voice, "Is that the best you can do?" She threw it back at him as he barely caught it. He threw with more force this time and Hermione ducked behind a chair.

"C'mon Ron! Hit me!" Hermione said peeking up from the couch.

Ron scooted up a few feet and tossed the pillow down at her. He was getting tired of her childish antics. She was making him feel like a dork in front of his family. He had to hit her…

As Ron threw another pillow, she picked up the one she hid under the couch and rolled over behind the rockers.

"Nice 007 moves there James Bond… or should I say Jamie Bond?" asked Arthur laughing at Hermione's moves.

"Thanks Arthur," said Hermione barely dodging a few more of Ron's pillows. She could tell he was trying.

Molly looked at Arthur and Hermione curiously. "Who is James Bond and what is 007?" she asked.

Hermione was in the middle of a war with Ron so Arthur answered. "007 is a famous James Bond muggle movie," said Arthur explaining it carefully so he didn't reveal any secrets. Just the other day, he and a few friends watched it. Supposedly his friend Ryan transfigured his toaster into a television and 007 happened to be on. He wasn't going to tell Molly that though.

"And how do you know about this movie?" asked Molly curiously eying him. She didn't even blink when she heard a few laughs coming from Ginny and Hermione as Ron hit the wall instead of Hermione.

"Well a few co-workers brought it in the other day and they told me about it," lied Arthur quickly.

Molly didn't believe him one bit but she let it drop and watched as Hermione and Ron fought over the next pillow.

Ron won so Hermione quickly moved behind the couch. She wasn't quick enough. Ron had hit her.

Ron acted as if this was the greatest thing that had ever happened to him and Hermione had no doubt that it probably was.

"Ha-Ha I hit you!" cried Ron happily and he did a little dance in the middle of the room.

Hermione and Ginny looked at each other and looked back at Ron as if he was crazy which he most likely was.

"What do you call those moves Ron? Is it your victory dance? Do you need a medal for hitting your wife with a pillow?" asked Ginny laughing.

Ron suddenly stopped as he noticed the whole room was staring at him and he blushed wildly. "I'm going to get a donut," he said quickly walking out of the room.

As he did, everybody laughed and Ron didn't come back into the living room for a while.
