Hermione didn't know why she went with them. A whole afternoon in the woods with Ron didn't thrill her, but Ginny was adamant on her that she came. Besides, Harry had just done something for her. Why not return the favor?
They had spent three hours in the woods, talking about Quiddich. The one topic Hermione knew absolutely nothing about and never wished to. She had avoided Ron at all cost and now just wanted to curl up by the fire with a good book and forget the world. It had been two days since the most recent row and Bill and Charlie were due any minute. Hermione was heading the group and was the first to catch sight of the two outside in the back. They spotted her as well.
"Hey Hermione!" Bill smiled as she approached them. She smiled as well.
"Haven't seen you in a while. How are you?" Hermione shrugged as the others caught up with her. Ginny squealed and hurled herself at her older brothers.
"BILL! CHARLIE!" They laughed as they hugged her in turn.
"How's our favorite sister?" Bill questioned, setting her down on the ground. Ginny rolled her eyes.
"I'm your only sister, you prick." Charlie feigned shock.
"Oh dear. Is that any way to treat your brothers?" She smiled. They turned back to Hermione.
"I hope my brother hasn't been giving you too much trouble." Hermione glanced at Ron who was standing close by. She shrugged her shoulders.
"Depends on how you describe trouble." Charlie had been examining his youngest brother for a while. He grinned.
"Well it seems like you dealt with the trouble. What'd you two do? Get into a cat fight?" Harry couldn't help but put in his opinion.
"Nope. They were just in the broom closet a bit too long." The two colored immensely and glared at their friend. Ron, having enough of the ribbing, began towards the house, muttering something about cats. Ginny was excited.
"Where's Linda?" Charlie smiled.
"Inside." Bill grinned.
"Being attacked by mum. I think you ought to save her, Charlie." Charlie rolled his eyes.
"Keeps her out of my hair for a while. That's all that matters." Harry nodded.
"I see. Letting her get to know the wolves before she's fed to them." Bill burst out laughing and the group headed inside. There they found a pretty, young brunette talking to Molly, Mrs. Granger and what Hermione guessed to be her mother. She glanced over at the group who had just entered the building and waved then turned back to the chattering wives. Ron was sitting at the table staring at a bottle of butterbeer. He looked annoyed. They sat down at the table, all except Hermione.
"What going on?" Harry asked. Ron shook his head.
"Nothing." Bill frowned.
"What happened?" Ron shook his head again.
"Cadin's coming." Bill, Ginny and Charlie all, "Ohhed." They understood, Harry and Hermione didn't.
"What?" Harry asked. Ginny leaned in.
"You'll see."
Two days later, the guest arrived. Uncles, aunts, cousins and friends. All came and either got a room in the city or stayed at the Burrow. Harry was surprised and overwhelmed at how many people came to the wedding. Sure he had gone to Bill's but they hadn't had this many. They had a small wedding. Charlie was having a huge one. Ron's mood, however, hadn't changed. It got worse. Harry and him were in their rooms when Ginny and Hermione barged in. Harry looked up from the Quiddich magazine he was reading and Ron turned from the window he happened to be looking out of.
"What?" He asked. Ginny and Hermione were all smiles. They sat themselves on Harry's bed and began to talk at once.
"You should see how many people are out there!"
"It's absolutely amazing!"
"All these children!"
"They really want to see you!" Harry and Ron were confused.
"Slow down!" Ginny and Hermione stopped and calmed themselves down.
"Why are you two hiding up here?" Ron shrugged and returned to his gazing. They turned to Harry. He leaned in.
"Ron doesn't want to go down stairs and I'm not going down there with out him. I don't want to face those people alone and no offence Ginny but I would rather have Ron introduce me to people." Ginny nodded. Hermione looked over to where Ron was standing.
"What are you looking at?" Before he could answer, the door opened and someone entered. Harry and Hermione gaped. Ginny smiled. Ron groaned. There standing in front of them was the exact look a like of Ron!
"So you're Cadin." The boy nodded. Hermione looked over to a scowling Ron.
"You two-"
"Look like twins. Yeah I've heard," Cadin said. Hermione was amazed. It had been half an hour and Hermione still couldn't believe that Ron had a twin. She turned to Ron.
"Why didn't you tell me you had a twin?" He got up.
"Sorry. It must have slipped my mind," he answered sarcastically. He left the room. Harry got up and followed.
"Nice meeting you." He said. Hermione and Ginny remained. This Cadin guy was proving to be good company to Hermione. For the rest of the day, Hermione stayed with Cadin. Talking and laughing together. Ron remained irate. At the end of the day, Hermione and Cadin retired to the living room where Ginny and Harry were playing chess. Ron was watching near by, but looked up when they entered. Cadin had been complimenting her on her looks. Something she hadn't heard, maybe since fourth year.
"You look beautiful in this light." Hermione's eyes bulged and she looked up at him from the seat she was on. "Wait there." He left for a moment and then came back with paper and a pencil. He pulled up a small chair in front of Hermione.
"Could you tilt your head slightly?" She looked at him.
"What are you doing?" He smiled at her.
"I'm going draw, probably the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." She smiled slightly and did what he said. She was surprised by this guy's boldness and quite frankly she liked it. He began to draw.
"Angels do come from heaven." Hermione couldn't help but blush. He went on. "Do you have a date for the wedding?" Hermione froze. She looked over to where Ginny and Harry were playing chess.
"No. I don't have a date." Little did she know, Ron had been listening to the whole thing. Ron's fist curled. If he touches her, he's not going to look like me for long.
