Chapter 17: Motherly Instincts
A/N: Disclaimer in first few chapters!
Meanwhile...
At the Burrow, Ron Weasely paced in front of the fire in his family home. The redhead was raging on and on about how she dared to kick him out of HIS flat-even though SHE pays the rent. His movements were followed by an anxious pair of brown eyes. His mother, Molly Weasely, was furious at what Hermione Granger did to her son. Watching her youngest son, the woman thought it was strange that her son was shouting rather weeping; looking angry rather than heartbroken.
Molly looked at her son and took in Ron's disheveled: mussed up hair, crinkled shirt, crooked tie. Suddenly, it was as if all the lights had been switched on for the red haired woman. In her eys, her little Ronnie could do no wrong but, now, it was as if the slate was wiped clean and she was seeing Ron clearly for the first time. She glanced at his appearance again and noticed his swollen lips and a red lipstick stain on his right cheek.
Hermione Granger never wore lipstick.
Shock coursed through Molly's body as she realized something.
Hermione was not a cheater. Her own son, Ronald Billius Weasely, was.
This revelation caused Molly's fury at Hermione to flee, leaving the woman feeling empty and hollow. She was left to scramble for answers on where she went wrong with her youngest son.
As Molly cautiously took a step towards the freckled young man, she caught a faint whiff of lavender perfume./p
p style="text-align: left;""Perfume?" the mother of seven thought, perplexed. "Hermione doesn't wear perfume, does she?"
Remembering, rather suddenly, that Ron was home late last night and she knew that his relationship with Hermione was well and truly over so...he couldn't have been with her.
Molly tried taking a calming breath through her nose but failed miserably. Talking a deep breath , the red haired woman prepared to roar at her son for what he did.
As Harry Potter stepped through the front door to his mate's home, he heard a furious cry echo around the rundown building that he learned to call home./p
"RONALD BILLIUS WEASELY!"
