Chapter 4- What a Day
The next day Harry and Hermione was going to take Riley to see her flat for the first time. Riley was so exited that she didn't even bother getting ready for anything.
"Riley honey," Harry told his daughter, "As beautiful as you look in anything, you might want to go put on something other then your pjs dear." Harry told her. She blushes a deep red and ran back up stairs.
"Wear something nice because we have lunch with the Longbottoms today." Hermione shouted to her as she just came out of the kitchen. She turn to husband and gave him a kiss on the lips, "And you need to call Ben to remind him about lunch or else he's going to be half way to China by now with that new car. Maybe it was a bad idea to get him that. Now my son won't come home!" Hermione told Harry.
"Don't worry, I charm the car so I know where exactly he is." Harry told her with a proud smile. Hermione gave him a 'I can't believe you did that to our son but I'm proud of you' look, "but I'll go call him now…" Harry said after he saw her expression.
"Yeah, you go do that." Hermione commented.
Minutes later, Riley walked down stairs in jeans and a horizontal blue and white stripes shirt.
"Now that looks better." Harry said meeting his daughter at the stairs.
"Thank you dad, but I didn't think my duck filled pjs was that bad" Riley whined to her father who just laughs at her.
"Riley honey, you're not four anymore. Must I remind you that you turned 18 yesterday? None of this little whining is going to work anymore." Harry told her and walked away.
"Hey! You're suppose to love me and listen to what I say daddy!" Riley said running up to her father and grabbing one of his arms.
"I do love you, but that doesn't mean I have to listening to your silliness." Harry said tapping her nose.
"Mom!" Riley protested, "Dad is picking on me." She said walking to Hermione.
"Harry, stop picking on her…" Hermione said.
"See, mom loves me." Riley cuts in.
"Without me." Hermione finished with a smirk.
"Hey! You both are so mean. No wonder you guys make the perfect match" Riley told her parents and walked away.
"Hey, we're parents. That's our job." Harry told his daughter and she just turned around and poke out her tongue. "Love you too!" Harry shouted back now that she was out the door.
"Let's get going. Don't want to be late with the Longbottoms later on or you know what Luna might think." Hermione said, putting on her coat with Harry's help.
"Let her think that. Its amusing seeing you struggle to come up with excuses to cover something we didn't do…yet." Harry commented with a charming smile.
"Hey, Riley is right. You are mean!" Hermione replied swatting his arm.
"No, I'm nice. Very nice. You know why…" Harry told her; "because I do this to my wife…" he finished and kissed her passionately.
"Ummm, very nice indeed…" Hermione replied with a soft moan but before anything else can happen Harry's phone rang. "You got to be kidding…" Hermione breathed out.
"Sorry honey." Harry said with an apologist smile. "Hello" he answered, "yes, uh huh, what do you mean? Fine, I'll come in." Harry finishes and saw Hermione's disappointing look.
"Are you going to lunch then?" Hermione asked.
"I won't dream of missing it." Harry said hugging her. "Plus, I don't want my wife to kill me would I?" Harry finishes.
"Yeah, you don't. I'm a doctor so I know what to do so that no one will ever find you." Hermione replied with a wicked smile which scared Harry for a bit. "Moving on, I'll take Riley and you can just meet us at Mitchell's for lunch. Remember 12 o'clock!" Hermione reminded him.
"I love you Hermione and don't you forget that." Harry said with a kiss and walked her out the door.
"Don't you forget it…" Hermione said teasingly, "And I love you more." Hermione finished.
"So, are we going or not?" Riley interrupted.
"Yes we are, but you're father will not be joining us." Hermione told her.
"Why not?" Riley asked.
"He got a call from work and he needs to be in." Hermione explained.
"He's the boss. Why does he have to do everything? I mean he has employees for a reason right?" Riley suggested.
"You ask him. You have to know that your father likes to do things his way and no other way." Hermione told her daughter.
"He listens to you and does things your way…" Riley told her.
"Not all the time honey." Hermione replied with a smile. Hermione didn't want to talk about it anymore and ushered her daughter into the car so they can be off. Hermione was determining to make today a special mother and daughter day. About thirty minutes in the car talking about how excited Riley was to go to Oxford to get her lawyer's degree, Hermione pulls next to a street. They were there.
"Here we are. You're new home for the next ten year." Hermione said jokingly.
"Mom! Our house will always be my one and only home. This is just a temporally thing." Riley said with a smile.
"So do you like it?" Hermione said walking up to her daughter.
"I love it already and I haven't even seen the inside." Riley said giving her mother a warm embrace.
"Well, let's go in then. You have the keys." Hermione suggested
"That I do!" Riley said excitedly. She slowly unlock the door and made her way inside gasping at the already furnish apartment. "You guys did all this?" She turned around and asked. Hermione just simply nodded. "You guys rock!" she finished, running to hug her mother and ran around to check out the different places. The flat was a simple cream color with different shades of green decors making it seem like the nature outside was brought to life in the newly furnish home. The kitchen wasn't big but it wasn't small either, just the perfect size for a girl like Riley. Riley ran upstairs to check out the room and notice that there were two. The look of confusion spread across her face.
"Mum, I know you and dad love me but two bedrooms?" she asked.
"You wish Riley. The other room is there for your new roommate." Hermione answered walking up the stairs.
"Roommate? You mean I have to share this place?" Riley said teasingly to her mother. "Who is it?" she asked.
"You'll see. She is supposed to come by in a bit to check the place out as well. Her name is Madison Pattering. She's your age I believe and is also attending Oxford this fall." Hermione told her daughter.
"Wow, you did a whole background check on the poor girl?" Riley commented.
"Me? No. Your father did of course, didn't want his daughter to be living with some nut case." Hermione replied.
"Right." Was all Riley said.
Before their conversation could have gone any further the front door bell rang, notifying them of a new guest. Riley slowly walked over to the big white classic style door and opened it, revealing a girl about 5'7 with curly blonde hair dressed in simple jeans, a thin hugging tee shirt and some matching flats. Before Riley could say much the girl introduce herself.
"Hello, I'm Madison Pattering, your new roommate." She said as a matter-of-fact.
"Oh yeah honey, she's also American." Hermione said from the back. Riley heard it and thought that now it makes more sense. No one in England would go around dressing that lightly. She pulled herself out of her thoughts and replied.
"Hi, I'm Riley Potter and this is my mother Hermione Potter." Riley told the girl. Madison just stood there shell shock of the information.
"You-you're a Riley Potter, as in Harry Potter's daughter?" Madison asked.
"Oh, she's-" Hermione started but was cut off by her daughter.
"A witch. I figured." Riley said with no surprise.
"I talked on the phone with your mom here but she never mention…" Madison started to say.
"Yeah, my parents don't like to reveal their identity much." Riley replied, "Do you want to come in and look at the place?" she asked moving out of the way for Madison.
"Oh, I'm sorry if I came off as a groupie but I grew up hearing Harry Potter's stories and this is just a surprise to me." Madison explained.
"It's ok Madison." Hermione told her.
"Oh, you guys can call me Maddie. It's easier then Madison." She suggested.
"Ok then Maddie, how would you like to join us for lunch?" Hermione asked seeing the delighted smile on the young lady's face.
"Oh, if I'm not intruding." She shyly implied.
"Oh no, not at all, and plus you and Riley can get to know each other." Hermione told her.
"Yeah, it would be great if you came with. I've always wanted to see what the states are like." Riley cut in with a smile.
"Oh, if you two insist, I would love to join you guys for lunch." Maddie replied.
Hermione took the two girls around the flat once more to show them details of different things and such. After about an hour or two of chatting and touring it was time for lunch. The three slowly got themselves ready before heading off.
(At the Longbottom's)
"Clark!" Luna yelled towards the bathroom door. "You get your little behind out of that bathroom right now or I'll drag it out for you!"
"Coming, coming!" Clark said walking out of the bathroom. "See mother, if you listened to me and got two rooms this would have not happened." He finished with a grin.
"You wish. I'm not giving you any chances of sneaking that girl into your room and doing adult activities." Luna said with a straight face, "And plus, we are only here for a couple days. We found a house and we are moving soon." Luna finished.
"Why didn't we stay at the Potter's? I mean, you know them pretty well." Clark asked curiously.
"It's not like they didn't offer, but trust me dear. With Harry and Hermione in that house, you don't want to be any where near it." Luna told him still with a straight face, causing her son to laugh out loud.
"Fine, I can never win with you anyways." Clark said and walked away.
"People should realize that sooner so I don't have to waste my time making them look like a fool." Luna said as a matter a fact. Right after Luna said this there was a knock on the door. "Would you get that Clark." Luna told her son. Clark slowly opened the door where he was greeted with a crushing hug and a very passionate kiss. Luna stood there with her eyes wide and her mouth open. She couldn't believe the nerve this girl had to do such things in front of her.
"Oh mum, I invited Michelle to lunch with us." he said giving his mother the 'she kind of invited herself look.'
"Great…" Luna said pulling a fat fake smile and returning to her son a 'I'll talk to you about this later.'
"Cool, we are going to have a blast, aren't we Clark?" Michelle uttered getting close to Clark again.
"Stop, my mum is here." Clark said pushing her off him.
"Clark, get your father and lets go. We are already late as it is." Luna mentioned walking outside. The trip there was the longest thing Luna has ever experienced. Michelle did not stop talking at all from the moment she got in the car to the moment they arrived at their destination, and the whole time Neville was trying real hard to hold in his laughter which caused Luna to become more frustrated.
Their family plus Michelle slowly made their way into the restaurant to see that Hermione and her kids where already there. Hermione spotted Luna and her frustrated facial expression and he knew exactly why when she saw the girl that dare be rude in her house last night.
"Luna, Neville, glad you guys can make it." Hermione greeted them.
"Sorry we're late. We had some complications along the way." Neville told her. Hermione looked at Luna and can't help but smile when she mouthed 'kill me.'
Everyone then took their seat, but before anyone can actually sit down Ben and Harry made their appearances. Ben started to make his way over to the empty seat next to his sister but was denied.
"Sorry little brother, but this seat is taken." Riley told him.
"By who?" Ben asked.
"By me…" A voice spoke up behind Ben causing him to turn around. Ben was speechless for second before he moved to the side for the beautiful girl. Riley saw her brother's reaction to her new roommate and decided to help him out.
"Ben, this is my roommate Madison Pattering" she said to her brother, "And Maddie, this is my little brother Benjamin Potter." she finished.
"Nice to meet you, I've heard a lot about you from Riley and Mrs. Potter." Maddie said reaches out for a hand shake.
"The pleasure is all mine…" Ben told her taking her hand, "And I hope that my mother and my dear sister here didn't mention anything too horrible about me." he finished make her laugh a bit.
"Nothing horrible. Just good things." she replied with a smile in which he returned.
"Well, lets sit down and have lunch shall we?" Ben said while pulling out her chair for her and taking the seat right across.
Back to the group, everyone finally took a seat with Luna and Neville across from Hermione and Harry while Michelle hurriedly took a seat next to Benjamin forcing Clark to sit next to Riley.
"So Benjamin, what do you do?" Michelle flirted out right.
"Uh, I just got out of school so I don't work yet, and you can call me Ben" he answered awkwardly.
"That's so nice not to work yet Ben!" she continued but this time placing her hand atop of Ben's. Ben felt uncomfortable with her flirty actions and immediately removed his hands from under hers and switch conversation back to Madison.
"So Madison, are you going to Oxford with Riley here?" he asked interested.
"You can call me Maddie and yes I'll be attending Oxford this fall." she answered kindly.
"Awesome. I notice you don't have a British accent are you not from around here?" Ben continues.
"No, I'm from the states. California to be exact." she explained with a smile.
"Oh, I've been there once. Nothing really that exciting Ben." Michelle budded in.
"Excuse you, no asked for your opinion." Riley spoke up causing Ben, Maddie and even Clark to slip a chuckle or two at her comment. Michelle shot death glares towards Riley but wasn't able to reply with anything. "Yeah that's what I thought." Riley finished causing more laughter at the table.
"Guess the kids are enjoying each other's company." Harry said knowingly.
"Yeah everyone but Michelle's" Luna told him and the adults smile amongst themselves.
"Come on, she can't be that bad. I mean, yesterday she was just excited to meet us." Hermione said and Harry agreed.
"Ah, she's not that bad trust me. She's absolutely detestable and he drives me nuts Hermione. I don't know how Clark puts up with her." Luna complained.
"Love blinds things other can see but you can't." Hermione told her.
"No, no. That…" Luna pointed to Michelle and continues, "is not love my dear friend. That…" she pointed again, "is stupidity wrapped in a nice package." she finished earning her a nasty look from Hermione. "What? Its true."
"Lets go get some food shall we. I'm starving as it is." Harry said suddenly.
"Good idea mate." Neville agreed and stood up follow by his wife and Hermione.
"Kids, we are going to get some food are you guys coming." Hermione asked looking at the young group. They all turn from their conversations and got up.
"Clark, I don't want to get up. Can you go get me some salad please." Michelle spoke up giving him the puppy dog look. Clark just nodded and left with everyone else leaving Michelle regretting not getting up herself.
"How long have you been with her anyways?" Riley asked suddenly.
"What-oh it's been almost a year now." Clark replied awkwardly.
"Oh I see." was all Riley said as she walked over to the food table.
"You with anyone?" Clark asked following her.
"You know it's not a good idea to try to ask me out when your girlfriend is sitting over there." Riley teased, witnessing his blushing "I'm just messing with you, and no I'm not with anyone, well not anymore." she told him.
"Oh? I'm sorry to hear." Clark told her but all she did was smile. The two continue on with a small conversation in which both were enjoying. After a while has passed and they had gotten their food they made their way back to the table.
"How can a guy as nice as you and not bad looking either be with her. No offence." Riley told him as a matter a fact.
"Well…I don't know. Maybe it's a guy thing." He replied giving her a smile as she rolled her eyes. He wouldn't admit it but he was happy at the fact that she said he was good looking. As they finally reach their table they all took their perspective seats.
"Here you go…" Clark said putting the salad plate down for Michelle.
"What took you so long?" She replied. On the other side Riley gave her a disgusted look of annoyance and Clark saw it and mouth 'its okay' to her.
As everyone regain their seats and start up more topics for a conversation, Michelle was getting frustrated that no one is speaking to her. Not even her own boyfriend who was busying himself with small talk with the Potter daughter. Therefore, she enhance her flirtiness with Ben trying to catch his attention while making Clark jealous, which didn't work very well. Riley was so annoyed by Michelle that she had to do something.
"Michelle, that's your name correct?" she asked suddenly surprising everyone, "You know you can stop with the flirting towards my brother because it's getting really annoying and the fact that your boyfriend doesn't seem to care if you're talking to another guy." she said looking for a reaction…
"Why you-"
"Wait, let me finish. It's rude to interrupt someone you know…" Riley continues seeing the girl blush with fiery, "I want to give you an advice on my brother, give it up! He obviously don't give a damn what you talk about and trust me when I tell you that you are NOT his type." Riley explained, "so shut it with your lame act and just sit there." Riley finished proudly. Riley is a very nice girl and only a certain type of people can get her to fuse like that.
"You go girl!" Luna said a bit too loudly making Clark shoot her a glare.
"I'm sorry Clark, but I had to get all of it off my chest. She was starting to really bug me and not many people can really do that. She's one of a kind I tell you. You can hate me for embarrassing your girlfriend publicly but I'm not sorry for saying any of it." Riley told him and walked away. "Bye everyone, I think I had enough for today. Thanks for the lovely lunch Mr. and Mrs. Longbottom." She uttered before walking away.
Everyone sat there looking from where Clark was sitting to where Riley has left. Speechless, Luna looked at Hermione and smile and Hermione knew exactly what she was thinking.
"Luna, don't mess with anything." was all Hermione said and Luna shrugged and return to her lunch and so did everyone else. Everyone but Michelle who was thinking 'I'm going to kill her if that's the last thing I do.'
