--------------------------------------

Friday, August 18, 9: OO

Hermione got up from the phone ringing. She sat up gingerly and reached for the cordless beside her bed. "Hello?" she groggily said. "Hermione, it's me Perce"

"Oh morning Percy….why are you calling so early?"

"Not early, I'm already late for work. They need me here or something. Don't know. Anyways I was just checking up on Cal"

"She's fine, just that broom trick made her sick…"

"Oh, can you make sure she's okay. I don't want her to go here sick that is."

"She's fine…."

"Okay then, uhm Oliver says that he owled you the directions and the map that says where the Wood tent is."

"He's there already?"

"Yea Coach Millard dragged them here at 7am in the morning to avoid any fan girls"

"Ah…"

"Err make sure that you get here before 3pm, because the influx of the arrivals are increasing by that time okay?" said Percy quite mindlessly as if he was paying attention to something else.

"Okay" Hermione said as she put on her slippers.

"Bye, see you later and Oliver says he misses you already…-'I wasn't suppose to say that to her?' 'NO!'-" Percy hung up while Hermione cracked up laughing. She headed towards Cal's room to check on her. When she got there Cal was already up packing. "You are a doctor's worst nightmare you know that right?" said Hermione as she flopped on Cal's bed. Her house mate just laughed and said "Go pack up…"

"Nearly done..." Hermione said.

"Oh….right…" Cal said as Hermione stood up and headed to her room to finish packing up.

2:00 pm

Hermione opened her mirror and rummaged for some tampons but soon found she had none. She noted that she was going to get some from Cal. The perks of living in the same house, both females have their period at the same time and the stock of female products was surely bountiful ensuring that one female had at least a pack of the needed products. The down side to it is that they both had it same time a day or two apart that they often piss each other off if ever their moods had coordinated as well.

After packing clothes for 3 days at least Hermione, female product bag in hand, headed to Cal's room to get some tampons. She knocked on the door and opened it when Cal shouted for her to enter. Callista's room was not a mess like Hermione's. It was very clean for someone who was packing. Hermione walked in dangling the bag in her hand "Err aunt flow isn't backing off, need tampons"

Callista just nodded and said that there was pack in the bathroom closet. As Hermione was stacking up the bag, Cal had asked her in an unsure voice "What date is it?"

"Uhm August 18…" said Hermione as she took the whole box out.

"Oh did you start early?"

Hermione stopped what she was doing and looked at Cal "Oh heck no, right on the spot too, bloody timing. Aren't you three days earlier than me?"

"Err yea...its nothing, prolly from the stress. You know those cases…" she nervously said.

"Yea, don't worry; you were on pills weren't you?" But Hermione thought, that couldn't be right. Hermione was in her 3rd day which means, Cal was at least 6 days late.

"Yea" said Cal unsurely but shrugged it off. Callista had joined Hermione in the bathroom and placed a few in her feminine baggy as well. Hermione smiled at her friend, but worry crept into her mind but decided not to pursue the issue which prolly wasn't even an issue.

Cal had gone into her drawer after Hermione left the room. Now she remembered what was missing. She was missing one thing that she shouldn't be missing at all. She smacked her head on the table as she realized she didn't have time to buy a test as she had to go to world cup in a few minutes. She then hit her head again, if she really was, how the hell was she going to tell Percy, wait scratched that. Percy was an easy problem to fix; it was her father she didn't know she would tell. Jerome would kill Percy with his own bare hands, she was betting her Master's paper on it.

-WORLD CUP FRIDAY-

After a short wait in line to get into the Camp ground, as Percy had the brilliant idea of anti apparition barriers on the camp for safety reasons, they finally got to the Weasley tents. After dropping off her stuff Cal with Jackie, who had already been in the tent came with Hermione Wood tent. It wasn't much of a walk. When they got there Hermione was greeted by Victoria who remembered Hermione from the hospital. "Dr Granger!" the little girl said and Helen emerged from the tent holding a bag of logs for their camp fire.

"Hermione welcome!"

"Hi Mrs. Parker"

"Oh call me Helen! Oliver dropped by earlier and said that you should get settled in. He's in the pitch right now doing their last practice. He'll be back around 5 pm he said."

"Oh okay…"

"Here let me lead you to where you're staying" Helen led the three women into the tent and then led Hermione into one of the rooms "Oliver said that you and he would just share a room. We kind of had to give away the room you were suppose to be in" Helen said as she showed the room to the women.

"Oh it doesn't matter; I don't mind sleeping in the same bed as Oliver…" said Hermione. Helen then said that her mother wouldnt but "Then again no matter, she'll probably love you"

"Your…mum?"

"Last minute decision, she's coming to see Oliver play, you know…anyways when you're done settling in you can join us outside. Nice to meet you ladies" She then said to Cal and Jackie who were standing just behind them. Helen stopped and looked at Cal for a bit making it slightly uncomfortable for Cal. "And Percy, made the a pretty choice" she said before she patted Cal's shoulder and left the tent to help with the fire outside.

After a few minutes the three had decided to go back to the Weasley tents. Just when they got there Jackie had went to jump her fiancé which left Hermione with Cal. "Hermione I think…I'm in trouble"

"….you are aren't you? Nausea, missed period…what else? Did you have any preference to smell yet?"

"I…sigh…Percy wouldn't…." Cal said as she fiddled with the bottom of her top.

"Percy wouldn't leave you because of that….he isn't like that…don't worry" Hermione said as they watched George tumble into his tent with Jackie on his back.

"Don't tell anyone" asked Cal quite pleadingly.

"I promise I won't…" said Hermione when a voice boomed behind them and a pair of hands tickled Cal from behind.

"Don't tell anyone what?"

Cal screamed and started to swat Percy. Hermione laughed at the two as she watched Percy carry the squirming Cal. "Put me down Percy!" screamed Cal and after a quick twirl Percy did put her down. Cal gasped for air as she said "I think I'm going to be sick…" Hermione then said "because she's been twirled around. Seriously Percy"

"Oh sorry, you okay now Cal?" he asked Cal and she suddenly pushed him to the ground and sat on his stomach. "Yea…you suck…"

Hermione laughed at the couple andwalked away to go into the other tent to bother Ginny. Cal and Percy just stayed outside, with Percy under Cal still. He placed his hands on her arms and pulled her in for a short kiss that was disrupted by a coughing behind them. Percy looked behind Cal to find a teenage girl who looked somewhat like Cal, "Callie!" she said and Cal stood up so quickly.

"Paullina…how did you know where I was?" she said as she gave the younger girl a hug. "Oh you know down the great vine I heard things…" said the younger girl while she smirked at Cal. Percy who was already standing looked at the younger woman. She look somewhat like Cal, her nose though was slightly longer and her eye color was a steel grey much like Madam Catalan's. Her hair was a vary dark auburn which was long and the ends of them formed a slight curl as they hung from the pony tail. Percy thought she was probably in her late teens.

Cal then said "Percy, this is Paullina my younger sister, Paullina this is Percy Weasley"

"Good afternoon Mr. Weasley" said Paullina as she offered a hand to Percy. He noted that she had more of a Spanish accent than English. "Nice to meet you Paullina," he said as he shook her hand. Paullina smiled at him but eyed him much like Madam Catalan did. "Is she here?" asked Cal. Paullina shook her head and said she wasn't coming till tomorrow morning with their father.

Then Cal asked her where she was staying. "With Alex," Paullina said.

"Alejandro Montilla?" exclaimed Cal.

"Yes you know my boyfriend" Paullina said nonchalantly while Cal frowned and asked if their mother knew that piece of information.

"Mama knows, Papa, he doesn't"

Cal warningly said. "Paullina…."

"What? I'm old enough"

"Until you earn your own money you aren't old enough…." said Cal quite annoyed at her sibling.

"Its not like I'm going to have a baby anytime soon" said Paullina. Cal blinked at Paullina a few times and said "Not the point, you're only seventeen."

"Chill we're in different rooms!"

"RIGHT…."

"Don't believe me? Check the tent…but that means you have to face Castel"

"…." Cal remained silent and looked like she was contemplating something.

"Who is Castel?" asked Percy eagerly wanting to know who the guy was, as he was curious why this Castle had the same affect as Madam Catalan on Cal. Paullina chuckled and said "The one Cal turned down for an arranged marriage 5 years ago" Percy gaped and Cal just frowned at Paullina. "Shut up and lead the way you twit".

Paullina then said "Nice to meet you Percy, do us a favor and make my sister settle down…" Cal flicked her ear and pushed the younger woman out of the camp. Cal then said "I'll be back in a bit, just need to make sure this one doesn't get pregnant…." She gave him a kiss and walked away. Percy scratched his head and went to hunt down Hermione as Oliver was looking for her.

-WOOD TENT-

After much poking Hermione had caved in and went to the Wood tent. Oliver's mother had come and Oliver was back from practice. When she entered the tent she found Oliver sitting in the dining area of the tent with an older woman. She had her hair up in a bun and was wearing something McGonagall would wear. "Mia, come on in" said Oliver as he stood up to greet her with a kiss. Hermione smiled at Oliver and took his hand as they walked nearer to the older woman. "Mum, this is Hermione Granger, Mia this is my mother" said Oliver and Hermione had said her greeting politely at the older woman.

Sarah Wood patted the sea beside her and said "Sit, I want to see you up close Hermione" Hermione looked at Oliver and he nodded and she sat where Sarah had patted the seat. When she sat Sarah tipped her eyes head to look through her bifocals. "Pretty, and a doctor too. Much better than Katie" she said. Hermione squirmed uncomfortably in her seat. She didn't like being examined as much as it's her life's work to do so. Oliver just smiled and said "I'm glad you approve"

"So where is she staying Oliver?" she asked Oliver.

Oliver didn't say anything for a few seconds then said "Here, in my room"

"Ah…okay then….well Hermione would you like to join me for tea. My Daughter and her family had gone to search for memorabilia and Oliver has a team meeting. I would love it if you could stay so I can get to know you better" Sarah asked Hermione. What could've she said 'no I don't want to Mrs. Wood'? Of course Hermione was to say yes, even if it's a bit awkward. Hermione smiled at her and said "Sure Mrs. Wood"

"Good then, Oliver you can leave now….be back for dinner dear"

"Yes mum" Oliver gave his mum a peck on a cheek and a kiss her Hermione's head before heading out. "Mum don't kill her I want my girlfriend back in one piece" Sarah just chuckled lightly and started to summon the tea set. Her shaking wand arm was making Hermione nervous as she might drop the fine tea set. This was going o be a long tea time and it was.

As Hermione sat there chatting with the older woman who seem to be asking her a lot of questions about her life, she found herself longing to be in the Weasley tents rather than here being grilled by Sarah Wood.

"So how long have you two been seeing each other?" she asked Hermione as she offered the younger woman tea biscuits. Hermione took and answered "3 weeks ma'am".

"So how did you know Oliver?" Hermione explained how they used to be in Gryffindor together. Sarah looked slightly very happy when she heard Hermione was in Gryffindor as well. "Ah Gryffindor courage! I my self was a Gryffindor!" she said and Hermione just chuckled. "Did McGonagall still wear green all the time?" she asked. Hermione then explained how during the Yule ball that McGonagall said "let their hair down" and Sarah Wood laughed and explained how Minerva McGonagall always had her hair in a bun even then.

Sarah then said "One time I saw her and Professor Dumbledore hugging each other. They were seeing each other at one point did you know that? But they had to stop because of some decree made by the governors! Oh my McG wasn't a happy woman for a bit! My class marks suffered!" Hermione started to imagine Dumbledore with McGonagall having a candle lit dinner and started to chuckle. No wonder McGonagall cried so much when Dumbledore died.

"Ah you are a nice lass, I hope you won't hurt my son."

"I don't think I want to ma'am."

Sarah smiled at her and started to sip her tea. The hour went by and by the time they were done with tea Helen, Tom and Victoria had came back into the tent with England memorabilia.

Victoria then handed Hermione a figurine of Oliver walking around in her hand saying nice things like "Nice hair lass, very lovely!" Hermione chuckled and thanked the little girl as she climb on her grandmother's lap to show Sarah what he bought for the game tomorrow. When Hermione saw one of the twin's hats she grabbed it and said "Not this one, it's from the Weasley Wizarding Wheezes, you don't want your skin to be the color of England's flag do you?"

Victoria eyes grew big and said "No…that's embarrassing! I wouldn't be able to go to school in those colors!"

Helen laughed at the back and took the hat and placed it on Tom's head and his skin changed color. "So it does work huh..." she said. Tom frowned at his wife as he looked at his red blue and white skin.

-Spanish side-

After much pressing Paullina cracked and showed the tent to Cal and she found that indeed Paullina was in a different room as Alex, but found that their rooms were right beside each other. "I give up; you're old enough to know the repercussions."

"Well...not really...I mean I do know the repercussions. Didn't I say chill?"

Someone then stepped in the tent and said "Paullina?" the man then headed towards the Paullina's room and stopped at his tracks. He was tall, lean and over all good looking. He fitted the whole Latin lover with the wavy dark locks and tanned skin down pat. "Callista" he breathed out. Cal sat up and said "Hello Gerard, how are you?" Gerard Castel was flabbergasted. "I'm fine, how are you?" Cal said he was doing well.

"Gerard you came in here for?" asked Paullina as she smiled at Cal. "I uhm…Alex is looking for you, we're have dinner at the Coach's tent." He said as he looked at Cal.

"Oh okay then, but first I have to walk this one back to her tent" said Paullina as she nudged towards Cal. Gerard looked at her longingly and asked "You are in the Spanish side then?" Cal shook her head and told him she was staying at the English side. Gerard then offered to walk with them back, as had promised Alex that he would get Paullina from the tent.

The walk towards the Weasley tent was slightly uncomfortable. Cal was fidgeting and Paullina had forgotten to walk between her and Gerard. "So, who are you staying with Callista?" asked Gerard as they got nearer to the tent. Cal didn't have to answer it as she was jumped by a running Alec and behind him trailing was Gillian who had grown fond of Cal. "Aunty Cal!" they both screamed at her.

After picking up Alec, they proceeded walking towards the tent that was not that far. By the time they got there Fleur was standing outside of their tent looking for Alec and Gillian. When she saw that they were with Cal she waved and said "In your tent Cal…" and went to her own tent.

Alec and Gillian were eyeing Gerard. "Aren't you Castel from Spain?" asked Gillian and Gerard nodded and Gillian asked him whey he was with Cal. He said that they were very good old friends. Cal rolled her eyes and went to the tent she was staying in. When she entered the Weasley nephews were running around in the main room playing some sort of tag with George, Jackie, Harry and Percy. When she entered Alec shouted "I found Aunty Cal!" and Percy stopped tickling Armand, Fleur's oldest, and stood straight as he looked at Cal and eventually Gerard who was looking at him too. Percy felt slightly apprehensive of Gerard as he recognized him from the profiles he was given the day ago.

"I want down" said Alec and Cal put him down after which he ran towards the rough housing bunch on the sofa. Percy smiled at Cal as she walked up to him and greet him with a kiss. He got a glance of Gerard's face, it was somewhat glaring at him. "Percy this is Gerard Castel, from the Spanish team. I used to play against him as a child."

Percy nodded at the other man coldly and said his hello "How is the camping ground? I hope it's not too cluttered in your area" he said. Gerard then said "It is not that crowded but the head of the department should've made more space for the teams."

"I tried to, but there weren't much spaces, your team was the only one that requested that they were situated in a small enclosure of their own. England is scattered in particular grid so they have more space."

"You are the head of Security? Percy Weasley, the minister's son?"

"Yes I am," Percy replied and offered the other man his hand. Gerard's face became hard as he shook Percy's hand. "Well Paullina we're expected at the Coach's tent…" he said as he looked at Paullina. She then nodded and hugged Cal last time and said her good byes to Percy and left dragging Gerard who was having a glaring contest with Percy.

When the two exited the tent Percy made a face as he puffed out his chest and mocked Castel. "I'm a manly man, I feel like a shrimp compared to his steroid look" he mimicked the Spanish accent the other man had. Cal snickered and asked him if he was jealous. "No...Not really. You wouldn't leave me now would you?" he said.

Cal as she raised an eyebrow and said "Nah I don't think I can anymore…" Percy looked at her oddly and asked what she meant by it. She waved him off and said that she'll tell him later after which she gave him a long kiss only to be interrupted by a pillow hitting them and George saying "Oy there are kids!"

-WOOD TENT-

9pm

Hermione learned that Sarah Wood was a head girl of her time who married the Quiddtich captain, who was her housemate and year, later in her life. Helen had already went in for the night and left Hermione, Sarah and Oliver out in the fire.

"Oliver looks much like my dear Liam. He had the same built, color of eyes and hair. But Liam always had his short unlike Oliver here who prefers it long. Sweetie you should really cut that hair of yours. Anyways. Liam hadn't played professional like Oliver, but he wished his son did and he did! He would be proud if he was still alive"

"Mum, come on…." whined Oliver as Sarah patted his hair.

"Ah no no, cut that hair!" insisted Sarah. Oliver rolled his eyes and said "Mum no…my hair, I cut it when I want to"

"Okay fine, you see Hermione, Oliver has a hard head I hope you can cope with that"

Hermione chuckled and said that if she helped kill Voldemort she could take on one Quiddtich player. Oliver smirked at her before he smiled and put his arms around her shoulders drawing her near enough to him that he kissed her on the cheek. Sarah just smiled at where she was and noted that Oliver looked very happy with Hermione and maybe she can marry him off before Molly could marry off Percy and George. "Ah good good, I want to win against Molly"

"Win against Mrs. Weasley?" asked Oliver as she watched his mother stand up from her spot and head towards the tent. "We were discussing over tea last week that I couldn't get you married off, she was very confident she could marry her last two off in a year…I want to win that bet. A nice royal Dalton tea set of my choice. Good night dears" she smirked and headed into the tent leaving the couple sitting there gaping.

Hermione then said "Who would have thought Molly and your Mum betting on you and Perce!"

Oliver scratched his head and said "Man…this sucks. If she looses I'd have to get that tea set for her…"

"How are you sure?" asked Hermione curiously.

"Well…I don't know. I have a feeling Percy is going to marry before I ever do….that is...I mean…don't take it the wrong way Mia. Maybe in the future"

"No course not. Ask me in a year or so" Hermione said as she snuggled to him. He hugged her and planted a kiss on her head. "As long as you say yes to me I will".

Hermione just laughed and said "Let's not think about that…yet..." Oliver agreed and they stayed out by the fire in each other arms.

-WEASLEY TENT-

After dinner the kids had stayed in George's tent because they deemed it as the fun tent due to the fact that none of their mothers would shout at them if they were jumping on the sofa or run around in the tent. George and Jackie were just happy to sit and watch the kids as they went through their wedding folder. Percy and Cal were just lying around in the room, door ajar, entertaining Gillian's questions about the book she co wrote. The little girl was situated between the two adults on the bed.

"So you mean Osiris married his sister?" asked Gillian talking about the creation myth she read in the book. Callista explained it and said that she shouldn't expect that all cultures to be the same even when it comes to their Creation myths. "Well that's just down right yucky….ew…." exclaimed Gillian as she scrunched up her face in disgust.

"Why did Seth kill Osiris for? I mean if I was jealous I'd just tell him outright and not kill him! That's just mean" said Gillian as she frowned at the thought. Percy chuckled at his niece as he lay on the bed reading a book under a lamp.

Cal went on explaining until Ginny came into the room to gather Gillian. "Sorry bout that...she got this thing with reading. Caught it from Hermione" Ginny explained as she waited for her daughter to get off the bed and put on her shoes. Cal shook her head and said "Nah its ok, I haven't met a child as inquisitive as Gillian, It's my pleasure to entertain questions from a fan of my book"

Gillian toothily smiled at her and gave her a hug then Percy before she left. Percy peered out to see that the kids were gone already. George then said "The parents took em all, apparently its bed time" Percy chuckled and went back to his room slightly closing the door.

He looked at Cal who was lying down on her back looking up the canopy of the room. Percy lay beside her and asked her what was wrong. For a bit she stayed silent as she didn't know how to tell him what was really wrong with her. "Nothing is wrong" she said as her hand rested on her abdomen. Percy took her hand as he shifted to his side so that he could face her. "Seriously stop lying," he said. She just shook her head "I think I know why I'm sick" she started. Percy was fiddling with her fingers at the moment as he lay near the edge of his side. Cal sighed and said "I missed my period by 5 days". Percy jolted up and fell off of the bed in an instant.
