Previously on You love me, right Hermione?
with that, all three of them walked out the door, apparently under the impression that they had done some kind of heroic deed. Hermione stared after them long after they departed, wondering what the hell is going on in the world. She resolved to talk to Harry immediately.
"I think I'll just apparate there." Hermione said thinking out loud. There was a loud crack! And she was off to the ministry.
"Harry?" said Hermione tentatively
not hearing anyone, she went to investigate. What she found horrified her beyond her imagination.
"what the hell happened here!" she screamed
WHY DIDN'T ANYONE REVIEW! well you did review but you didn't guess! thats not fair, only like one person did, and because of that, i'm gonna have a major cliffie. HAHAHAHAHAHA thats what happens when you don't listen to the author! lol thanks for reviewing you guys. make sure to read the authors note at the end of the chapter
"Harry, what have you been doing here all this time?" Hermione yelled. she had a good reason to. there were mountains of paperwork everywhere and owls and owl droppings everywhere. basically the whole office was a complete mess
"Mione! I didn't expect to see you here!" said Harry surprised
"have you even been trying to work while i've been gone?" she asked in an accusitory tone
"yes, but it's kinda hard to do two other people's work, including your own!" said Harry in frustration. "why are you here anyway?"
"something really really strange happened while you were gone." said Hermione
"did Death Eaters attatck you!" exclaimed Harry. "i swear, if they even touched one hair on your head, they will wish they were never born!"
"no, it has nothing to do with danger, just weirdness" said Hermione
"then spill!"
so Hermione told Harry of his 'family's' weird behaviour. at the end of her tale, Harry was completely and utterly speechless
"are you sure these were my aunt and uncle and...dudley speaking?" asked Harry incredulously
"well, by the way you've described them to me, it looked like them! Besides, they introduced themselves as your family"
"oh... heyMione, you didn't tell them that you're my fionce did you?" asked Harry cautiously
"of course not, i told them that i worked with you and that i was taking the week off while you were at work!"
"good. well, as you can see, i've got a lot of work to do, so I'll talk to you at home, alright?"
"no."
"what do you mean no?" asked Harry incredulously
"i'm going to stay here and help you. you obviously cannot do all of this work alone, with both Ron and I gone, so i'm going to stay here."
"are you sure, Mione? i mean, it is your vacation time!"
"whats the use of a vacation if no one else is. besides, i have like two more months worth of vacation, remember?" said Hermione with a small smile
Harry grinned and opposed her no more. they both got to work, Hermione cleaning the office. although they had fun working together, there was only one thing missing: their best friend, Ron
AT RON'S 8:00 PM...
"Luna i'm home!" yelled Ron Weasley into his home
"hey you!" said Luna enthusiastically. Ron gave her a kiss on the cheek and bent down to kiss her belly
"i just put dinner on the table, lets sit down and eat." said Luna gesturing to the table
"great i'm starving, had a long day at work today, you know how it is." said Ron, lying easily
"oh, i'm sure that work was a drag." said Luna, lying just as easily
the couple sat down at the table. Ron gazed at all his favorites on the table, then shoveled everything onto his plate and started wolfing down everything.
'Luna was always sucha great cook.' thought Ron
"do you like it?" asked Luna innocently
"if te mos woderfu fu i efer tased!" said Ron, mouth full of food. Luna laughed and just smiled, watching her husband eat.
after dinner was over, Luna turned to Ron
"so tell me, what kind of work did you do today?" she asked
"erm, stuff like, um... the death eater's behaviour these days, you know they've been acting up more and more." said Ron, lying not quite so easily
"oh, that sounds interesting. what have they been doing these days?" asked Luna
"ya know, i kinda forgot, i'll have to tell you tomorrow." said Ron, ears turning a slight tinge of pink
"well then, why don't i floo Harry? i'm sure he would remember." said Luna mischeviously
"well, i don't want to bother him and Hermione just because of something stupid." said Ron, ears now turning red
"i'm sure they wouldn't mind, in fact, let me do it right now!" said Luna vindictivly as she got up and went to the fireplace, Ron tagging behind her, trying to dissuade her from talking to Harry, but failing dismally
Luna took a fistful of floo powder and threw it in the fire, saying "Harry Potter!" she stuck her head in the fire as she felt her head turning. she finally stopped spinning to find herself in Harry's house. Harry and Hermione were in deep discussion and only noticed Luna when she called their names
"Luna! What a surprise!" said Harry with a small smile. he knew that Ron was about to get busted by his wife and couldn't wait for it to happen.
"Yes hello Harry, i just wanted to ask you something about work today, Ron seems to have forgotten. why don't i get him now?" said Luna
"that would be great Luna, we can straighten a few things out meanwhile." said Harry with a smile
with that, Luna's head was gone, and Harry went on to tell Hermione about what happened before she came to the office, she was surprised, but happy that Ron would finally get what he deserved, and even more.
a few minutes later, both Ron's and Luna's head were in the fire place, Ron looking extremely worried and Luna looking very smug
"so why don't you ask him what the death eaters have been doing these days Ronald?" said Luna in her you'd-better-ask-or-your-going-to-be-in-even-bigger-trouble voice.
"of course dear, erm, Harry, why don't you tell my wife and children what we did at work today?" said Ron, emphasizing wife and children to make Harry guilty.
of course, that didn't work. "i don't know what your talking about Ronald" said Harry, thouroughly enjoying torturing Ron
at this statement, Ron gave a little laugh. "thats funny Harry, what do you mean you don't know what i'm talking about?"
"oh, well, icertainly know what me and Hermione did, but i don't know what you did, since you didn't have the decency to turn up for work today!" said Harry triumphantly
"of course i was at work!" said Ron trying to cover up the truth. "it was you lot who skipped work! i bet you were off somewhere snogging your faces off herewhile i worked my ass off at the Ministry!" Harry and Hermione were stunned at his outburst, even more so when he came up with that stupid lie.
"EXCUSE ME RONALD WEASLEY THERE IS NO NEED TO TALK LIKE THAT!" said Luna in infuriating tones
"sorry, but its true! they've been skipping work lately and i think its time that they get their act together!" said Ron, who was making Luna madder by the second.
" SO YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT WHEN I CAME TO SEE YOU AT THE MINISTRY, IT WAS YOU DRESSED AS HARRY THERE!" yelled Luna
"you...you came to the Ministry?" asked Ron tentatively
"YES I CAME TO THE MINISTRY AND IF YOU WERE THEREYOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT!" screamed Luna
"listen luna..." said Ron trying to cool her down. yet again, that didn't work
"HOW THE HELL COULD YOU HAVE LIED TO MY FACE! I NEVER BELIEVED YOU HAD THAT IN YOU! YOU FILTHY LYING DIRTY-" shreiked Luna, but was inturruped by Hermione
"as much as i like to see Ron getting yelled at, i suggest you get out of the fire. its not that comfortable from what Harry tells me" said Hermione with a grin
"we will do just that. thank you so much Harry and Hermione, i'll talk to both of you later." said Luna, back to her calm voice
Luna took her head out of the fire and yanked Ron's out. she continued to yell at him until her voice became hoarse. then she remembered to ask Ron why he missed work today.
"Ronald, why didn't you go to work today?" asked Luna, barely audible because of all her shouting
"oh, ya know, i just didn't feel like going today." said Ron, his ears turning pink again
"ronald weasley, don't you dare lie to me again, or you will get much more punishment when i finally find out the truth" said Luna dangerously
"alright Luna, but the truth is really ugly. you might leave me for it!" said Ron desperately
"if you don't tell me now i'll leave now!" said Luna "now tell me the truth!"
"alright, but you're not going to like it" said Ron, thinking of an alternate story on the spot
not thinking of anything. he told her everything, but tweaked with it alot. first of all, he said that it was he who fought lucious Malfoy and saved Hermione. then he said that when he and Hermione were alone and standing in the rain, it was Hermione who tried to make the moves on him.
"...but i just couldn't do anything with her, because one, i have a wife with children on the way, and second she was about to marry Harry. but she just wouldn't listen to me! she was an animal, her hands trying to rip off my clothes, then Harry comes out of nowhere and thinks that i'm doing something to her, while it was Hermione who was trying to do stuff to me!" said Ron in a very noble tone
"wow, Ronald, I had no idea!" said Luna, completely taken by surprise
"thats the reason i didn't want to go to work today. it would have been too awkward and Harry would have skinned me alive and i really don't know what Hermione would've done!" said Ron. "i'm sorry Luna for lying to you, i just didn't want you to know how youre friends behave when theyre not with you." said Ron with a fake look of sympathy as Luna came to him and started crying in his chest.
"oh Ronald i'm so sorry i yelled at you! i never knew they could be so horrible! I'm sorry i ever doubted you! How can i ever repay you?" sniveled Luna
Ron gave a very mischevious smile and waggled his eyebrows at her. she smiled and laughed. Ron picked her up and headed towards their room, basking in their love for eachother, but one being eaten inside by guilt.
AT HARRY AND HERMIONE'S...
"do you think Luna and Ron are ok?" asked Hermione worridly
"well, i'm pretty sure Luna's kinda hoarse from screaming at Ron so much, but i think their marriage could be strong enough to hold together." said Hermione matter-of-factly
"i dunno Mione, he messed up pretty bad this time. i just hope this didn't hurt the twins in any way."
Hermione snuggled up to Harry, which ended all his worries. after a few minutes of just being together, they kissed eachother goodnight and went up to sleep.
NEXT DAY...
"Harry, hurry up or i'm gonna leave without you!" yelled Hermione from downstairs
"you go ahead Mione i'll see you there!" said Harry
"alright then see you later!" said Hermione as she apparated to the Ministry
a little over half an hour later, Harry apparated to the Ministry. there he saw a very unpleasant and rather dangerous sight...
