Chapter Fourteen: Dinner at the Grangers
It had to be his worst nightmare come to life. Hermione had called him to inform him that he had been invited over to dinner at her home. When she had told him he wanted to run away and hide somewhere in the mountains. Did he really have to face her parents? What would they say when they heard his age? He groaned when he had hung up the phone and buried his face in his hands. He was going to mess things up. Badly.
Hermione was bustling about the place, trying to do some last minute cleaning and then running back to the kitchen to check the lasagna. Her mother was setting the table and her father was upstairs taking a shower. Her grandmother however was sitting sourly in the living room, grumbling as usual. Hermione was worried. What crazy thing would her old batty grandmother do this time?
Lupin was standing in front of the mirror in his best light blue silk dress shirt and black silk pants. He usually saved these for extremely special occasions. His hair was neatly combed, and his black tie was tied perfectly around his neck. His jacket was resting on the bed. He turned around to get it when he saw an Owl at the window. He went over to the window and let the bird in, he took the note and then the bird stared at him expectantly. He waved his hand and a dish with water appeared. The bird began to drink water and Lupin opened the envelope to read the note.
Remus,
Love, things will be alright, just be on time, and try not to speak too much to my grandmother. Wear that absolutely adorable blue silk shirt I saw in your closet, I'm sure it will look fabulous.
Love Hermione
He sighed and placed the note on the bed. Looking at himself once more in the mirror, he grabbed his jacket and left the room.
Hermione was wearing a short black dress that she had brought but never worn. It went up to her knees, and hugged her snugly. She wore little makeup and her hair was tied in an intricate knot at the top of her head. A pair of beautiful silver earrings dangled from her ears, along with a matching necklace. She sighed. She was nervous. Remus, and her parents in the same room was driving her insane, but she would have to endure it someday so it might as well be now. With a resigned sigh, she made her way downstairs, not forgetting her wand, which was hidden in an invisible pouch dangling from her waist. When she got downstairs, her father was sitting in the living room with her mother, and her grandmother was no where in sight. She bit her lip and sighed. Looking up at the clock, she saw it was seven twenty; Remus would arrive soon so she went into the kitchen to check on all the food.
A/N:
This was REDICULOUSLY short, I know. But I am SO busy these days. I am applying to colleges, and I have essays to write, applications, and all sorts of other things. I'm doing a paper right now, while studying for a psychology test which is tomorrow. My paper is due tomorrow too. About 5-6 pages. I am going insane. MY room hasn't been cleaned in days and it looks like the threshold of hell. I'll try to get the next chapter of this up soon! Probably within the next week.
Thanks for ALL the reviews.
Love, Saiya-jin Girl
