Hermione couldn't sleep. She had been talking to Ginny all night about Cadin and now she couldn't sleep. She got out of bed and silently crept out of the room. She went down stairs and into the kitchen.

"Oh… I'm sorry." The woman Charlie had brought home turned around and smiled.

"Oh that's ok… I just came down." Hermione smiled also and sat down beside the woman. The woman turned to Hermione and passed her a butterbeer.

"I guess you couldn't sleep either." Hermione nodded.

"You're Linda right?" The woman nodded.

"And you are…"

"Hermione." Linda's eyes brightened with understanding.

"Charlie's mentioned you! He said you were friends with his younger brother." Hermione was surprised.

"He's mentioned me?" Linda smiled sheepishly.

"Well after hearing that Ronald was a friend of Harry Potter I was extremely interested. I did a bit of research myself. I read that you were top of your year." Hermione blushed.

"I try." Linda grinned.

"I hear you come over here often." Hermione jerked.

"Ron and I are just friends." Linda smiled knowingly.

"Right."

"No really. Besides. I'm going to your wedding with Ron's cousin, Cadin."

"Oh Cadin. Isn't he Ron's twin?" Hermione nodded. Linda sighed.

"So you're going to my wedding…" Hermione nodded.

"Yes… but you don't seem so happy…" Linda looked away.

"No I am happy… it's just that… my parents aren't going to be here…"

"They couldn't make it?" Linda shook her head.

"They passed away a month ago… the funeral was three weeks ago." Hermione gasped.

"Oh I'm so sorry." Linda gave a weak smile.

"It's ok… Charlie opted to postpone the wedding for me, but I didn't want to… I just wish my dad could walk me down the isle." Hermione remained silent for a while, sipping her butterbeer. Linda looked up at her.

"You're friends with Harry Potter aren't you?" Hermione nodded. Linda smiled. "Would it be too much to ask for an autograph? I don't want to embarrass him with a question but my younger sister, Megan. She's about Ginny's age. She loves him. I would like to get her an autograph if it isn't too much to ask?" Hermione smiled.

"Harry's a little shy, but I'm sure he'll do it. Is your sister here?"

"She's staying in London." Hermione nodded, thinking about Ginny. Linda smiled.

"Don't worry. Charlie informed me about Ginny. Just warn her about Megan. She's a little cockier about guys. She's had more boyfriends than I have. When she heard that Harry would be here she freaked! She absolutely fell in love with Charlie and couldn't wait to come. She loved the idea!" Hermione smiled.

"Harry's used to it." Linda put on a mock serious face.

"He's yet to meet my sister! When she knows what she wants she'll go at it with a will. I personally, would like to see how Charlie's sister handles her. I've heard that she's quite the feisty one." Hermione giggled.

"Harry's going to have his hands full." Linda grinned.

"What about you?" Hermione looked up.

"What?" Linda smiled knowingly.

"I'm not ignorant. I've seen the way those to redheads have looked at you. It seems you're going to have your hand full also." Hermione looked down at her bottle.

"Maybe." Linda smiled.

"You're already pretty… with my help; I'll make you look positively irresistible! But for now, I'll enlist the help of Fleur and teach you and Ginny the ways of seduction."

The boys were all down stairs while Hermione, Ginny and Linda were still in Ginny's room. Cadin, Charlie and Harry were talking Quiddich while Ron just listened. Mr. Granger and Mr. Weasley were outside with Linda's uncle talking about the layout of the wedding. Mrs. Weasley, Mrs. Granger and Linda's aunt, Mrs. Venda were in the living room discussing menus. The boys were busy talking that they hadn't noticed the girls standing there. When Ron looked up from his plate he spit out his eggs, ironically into Cadin's face. They all looked and gaped to see three angels. Ginny and Linda were wearing black minis while Hermione sported a camouflage one. She wore a navy blue tank top. Ginny wore a form fitting turquoise t-shirt and Linda wore a pink tank. They all just stared. Hermione smiled and entered the room first.

"Morning all." She placed herself besides Cadin and began to fill her plate. Linda placed herself beside Charlie and Ginny sat next to Harry. They hadn't said a thing since the girls had entered. Ginny looked up to Charlie.

"What are we doing to day?" Charlie pulled his eyes away from Linda.

"What?" Ginny rolled her eyes.

"What… are… we… doing… to… day?" She said slowly. Charlie however wasn't paying attention. He was to busy watching his fiancée apply jelly onto her toast.

"Diagon Ally." Ron answered, his eyes drifting away from Hermione. She looked up, and ignoring the eyes of Cadin and Ron, turned to Linda.

"Isn't that where your sister's staying?" Linda smiled.

"Yeah." Ginny piped up.

"You have a sister?" Linda nodded. Charlie finally came back to reality.

"Yeah she does. Actually, Gin, she's slightly older than you."

"Really?" Charlie nodded.

"Yeah. Maybe you two could talk." Ginny smiled.

"I look forward to it." Hermione snorted.

"I'm sure you do." She muttered.

The group arrived at the Leaky Cauldron after breakfast and waited in the restaurant for Linda's sister. It didn't take her long to appear. When she came down the stairs, it was easy to see that the two were related. Harry, Ron and Cadin couldn't help but stare. She was about the samemuch taller than Ginny; about Harry's height, though she was slightly more developed than Ginny. She was wearing a red mini and a baby blue tank top. She came down the stairs and immediately spotted Harry. Linda, however, got in her way.

"Everybody. I would like you to meet my sister, Megan. Megan, this is Hermione, Ron, Cadin, Ginny and-"

"Harry Potter." Megan finished her eyes fixated on Harry. He reddened slightly. Ginny's ears became a bit tinged. Charlie coughed.

"Nice to see you again, Megan." She waved at him, absentmindedly.

"Nice to see you, too." Linda rolled her eyes.

"Come on Charlie. You told me you'd show me around." He nodded and motioned to everyone.

"Let's get going." As they headed out the back and to the wall, Megan somehow found her way to Harry's side and Ginny found herself pushed to the side. Hermione traded glances with Linda before allowing Cadin to lead her. Ron stayed in front with Charlie and Linda while Ginny decided to stick with Hermione. She wasn't in the best of moods.

"It's ok. You know how girls are with Harry. There easily taken by him."

"Yeah well… it's not like I care." Hermione snorted.

"Sure…" Ginny puffed up.

"I don't!"

"I didn't say you did."

"Good."

"Alright."

"Fine.

"Wonderful." Ginny turned to Hermione.

"I don't like Harry." Hermione smiled.

"I didn't say you did."

"You look great to day." Hermione smiled at Cadin as they sat down for ice cream.

"Thank you. You look very… roguish?" Cadin chuckled.

"Good enough." Hermione smiled. He took her hand and looked her in the eyes. "Once in awhile, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale." She choked on her ice cream and stared at him.

"Who said that?" He broke down in laughter.

"I don't know." She smiled at him and began to laugh also.

"That was one of the most random, most romantic things someone has ever said to me." He smiled and continued to lick his ice cream. Near by, Ron looked ready to hurl. He was sitting with Harry, Ginny and Megan, but wasn't paying attention. He had been watching Hermione and Cadin and he hated what he saw. Hermione was falling for this guy. Cadin. Why did this guy have come? He had been the bane of Ron's existence ever since he was five. He hated him.

This guy's going to be trouble.


Ginny was pissed. This Megan girl was getting on her nerves, with the cooing and the admiring and the touching. To make it worse, Harry was going for it. Though she couldn't blame him. Like Ron, he had never been good with woman and didn't know how to react. Probably the reason of Ron and Hermione's fight in the first place, but Ginny wasn't going to dwell on her brother's issues right now. She to busy trying to figure out houw to deal with five foot eleven model before her. At the moment Megan was talking to Harry queitly about her school in the States and how the variety of good looking men weren't as good as in England. Ginny rolled her eyes and was about to interuppt when Megan actually started talking to her.

"So your name's Ginny, right?" Ginny was surprised at first but regained her composure fast and answered curtly.

"Yes."

"Linda said that you were the youngest." Ginny nodded.

"The only girl." Megan wrinkled her nose.

"I don't know how you could stand it. Five-"

"Six"

"Six brothers to deal with. I'm sure it must have been hard." Ginny shook her head.

"You get used to it. Plus, having six brothers isn't all that bad. You have a whole Quiddich team right there." Harry smiled. Megan looked intrested.

"It must be hard with dating... I mean if you are old enough to date that is?" Ginny's eyes bulged and Ron turned around from his spying.

"What about dating?" He asked rather rudely. Ginny coughed.

"I'm sixteen." Megan looked surprised.

"Oh really! I seriously though you were fourteen. I mean with your body you could pass of as one." Harry choked and spit out the butterbeer he had been gulping down and Ron gagged on his ice cream. Both boys lookedat the small redhead.Ginny just looked shocked, though Harry could see a tinge of anger starting to show through her chocolate eyes. She took a deep breath and then put on a smile Ron could clearly see was fake.

"Nope. I'm sixteen." Megan smiled right back.

"So you do date. It must be hard, with six older brothers." Ginny glanced atHarry before answering.

"Try seven."

"Seven?" Harry cocked his head to the side.

"Nothing." Megan glanced at Harry also.

"How do you two know each other?" Before Ginny could answer Harry blurted out.

"I saved her from Voldemort." Megan's eyes grew large as she turned to Ginny.

"Oh really. What happened?" Ron, not noticing his sister's looks answered.

"Gin read some diary and Voldemort controlled her." Megan raised an eyebrow.

"You weren't strong enough to resist I guess?" She asked Ginny. By this time, Ginny's ears were red with what they all guessed to be embarrassment but was actually anger. She got up.

"I was eleven." With that she pushed back her chair and went back to the restaurant. Charlie looked over to the three remaining.

"What's wrong with Gin?" They all shrugged.

"It must just be that time of the month." Megan suggested.

A/N: I hope you like this chapter. I wanted to put in a little Megan/Harry/Ginny feud. I love cat fights. I don't, however, know why guys love to watch them! What's so amusing?

Wala: I hope it was a bit clearer. If not tell me!

bellapaola: That's ok! I know what it's like to have to learn a second language. English isn't my second language though. I know three.

Padfoot-equals-lurve: Not just any twin. A twin that seems to know what Hermione wants to hear!

connieewing: I know how that feels. Don't fall! (It seems we go through this quite a bit.) ;-)

ronhermione: Thanks for reviewing!

katiemarie x3: Not exactly... it's just that Cadin is making a move while Ron is still... how shall we say this... hesitant. By the way I hope things are much better for you!

shiningsun95: Sorry! Tell me if it's not clear! I hate it when that happens.
