"Hello! My name is Hermione Granger and I'm seven years old! What's your name?" A girl with bright brown eyes and brown hair put into two curly ponytails asked Harry as he was at a restaurant with his family and friends.
Harry had just went to look at a tank full of different kinds of fish while he waited for his food to come when this girl came up from behind him. She was wearing a blue dress with a bow in the back and when she smiled at him you could see her pink braces on her teeth. Harry himself was wearing a red button up shirt with a black bow tie around the collar and black slacks.
"Er … ohm, my name is Harry Potter and I'll be seven years old in …" Harry was counting how many days he had left till his birthday by using his fingers, " seven days! It's very nice to meet you Hermione." Harry said as politely as he could which made Hermione smile even bigger.
"When is your birthday?" Hermione asked.
"Uh, July 31st." Harry said scratching the back of his head.
"Oh cool. Happy early birthday then." Hermione said shyly.
"Thank you." Harry said trying his best to not to make friends so early into his movement here, but he knew it was impolite to be rude and that was just not him.
"My mommy and daddy are sitting over in the back of the restaurant." Hermione said pointing to the two adults sitting by themselves in the back corner of the room. Mr. and Mrs. Granger were looking at Mr. Weasley with uncertainty as he kept asking for pumpkin pastries for appetizers and asking if they had an electric fireplace so he could see how it worked.
Harry must admit though, Mr. Weasley was kind of strange and very obsessed with anything to do with muggle objects. Right now everybody seemed to be in their own world despite the fact that Bill and Charlie kept talking about Quidditch pretty loudly, but it didn't matter seeing as there was just them and the Grangers at the restaurant and they were barely paying attention to anything besides looking out for Hermione.
"Is that your family?" Hermione asked him eyebrows raised at the Weasley family.
"Yea …" Harry replied he didn't feel like going into detail about it, he didn't want to make friends with anybody else seeing as it hasn't gone to well especially if they were muggles.
"Oh, well I'm just visiting my grandpa and grandma for the summer. My mommy said that it's important to get to know family members because you never know if it'll be the last thing you'll do. My grandparents are really old and daddy is really worried about them." Hermione exclaimed sadly.
"Oh … well I hope the visit goes well then." Harry replied as Sirius called him back to the table.
"Bye Hermione." Harry said as he headed back while Hermione waved by to him.
"Who were you talking to Prongslet?" Remus asked him as Sirius helped Harry back onto his chair.
"A girl named Hermione Granger." Harry replied shrugging his shoulders.
"Ahh … you already have girls chasing after you young Progslet?" Sirius teased him as Harry looked at him confused.
"Why would I be chased Padfoot?" Harry asked him as Remus rolled his eyes at Sirius grinning face.
"Don't pay attention to the words that come out of his mouth Harry." Remus replied, as everybody's plates were set in front of them by servants.
"So, it's really official Dad? We're really staying here for good?" Charlie asked a bit disappointed.
"Come now Charlie, we're here to enjoy ourselves for once in our life." Mr. Weasley said a bit stressed out.
"Charlie, stop nagging your father." Mrs. Weasley snapped at him.
"I don't mind the moving arrangements father." Percy replied as both Charlie and Bill made kissing sounds with their lips.
"Stop it boy's!" Mrs. Weasley snapped for the second time that day.
The Next Day ...
The next day, Charlie had been in a really sour mood and always kept himself hidden in his and Bill's room. He couldn't help but like that Noelani girl, she seemed nice enough and really cared about her brother which he had a lot a respect for her for that.
She had a nice smile, bright eyes, and even laughed at Fred and George's lame jokes. He had barely known the girl and he already had feelings for her. He felt like she had dumped him or something, he couldn't explain it.
"You're thinking about her aren't you Charlie?" Fred asked him as he and George went in his room, which was locked, but the twins borrowed Sirius' knife that unlocks anything so that they could snoop in Charlie's room to see what he was up to.
"If you must know yes you snot nose twin brats." Charlie said snapping at them from his bed, which he was buried in under his covers.
"Well since you're being so nice-"
"we will tell you-"
"of our plan to-"
"see a certain young girl-"
"and her young brother-"
"by the end of the night-"
"when everybody is asleep."
"What in the name of Merlin are you talking about?" Charlie asked finally coming out from his covers surveying his young brothers.
"That got his attention." George said to Fred rolling his eyes.
"I bet he can't wait to snog his little girlfriend right now." Fred replied back.
"Get to the point would you before I smash both of your heads into the wall." Charlie said throwing his pillow at them, blushing a bright pink.
"But if Mr Weasley or Mrs. Weasley finds out you've - " Harry began, he had followed the twins up to Charlie's room after catching them snooping around in Sirius' and Remus room.
Charlie interrupted him with a sharp glare. "Excuse me? The only way that dad or mom will learn of this is if somebody tells him or her. And nobody is going to tell them. Are they?" Charlie's eyes flashed dangerously as he glared right at Harry and the twins, just like Hermione would if she had thought that he had cheated at a game or something along those lines.
"Wow … no need to be so up tight big bro, we were just looking out for your well being." Fred exclaimed as George winked at Harry seeing as Harry looked quite nervous at Charlie's quick change of attitude.
"I hope we never fall in love dear bro." George said to Fred.
"I quite agree, who needs all the drama anyway. We'll just become obsessed maniacs like Charlie and who needs that?" Fred exclaimed as Harry giggled.
"I'll be going to see them, not you guys, now get out." Charlie said pushing the boys out of his room before any of them could protest.
Night ...
"Thank Merlin nobody that nobody heard me." Charlie whispered to himself as he brushed off a bit of dust from his denim jeans and blue shirt from the Jenkins's fireplace.
It was night at the island of Aino and it was around 11:30 pm. What Charlie was getting himself into, he didn't know. He just had to see Noelani to ease his mind. He slowly tipped toed around the living and up the wooden staircase.
He had no idea which room Noelani's room was but he didn't really have to guess seeing as her name was printed on her door in gold and pink letters next to her brothers.
When Charlie quietly opened the door he saw Noelani going into her own personal bathroom to change into her pajamas. The room was a small bedroom, decorated in pink, with lots of books and stuffed animals. She had a white kitten that was sitting on the edge of her pink flowered bed.
Noelani sighed, as she got ready for bed by putting on her pajamas.
"I'm so tired." She mumbled as she stumbled toward her bed. She landed diagonally on her stomach across the bed avoiding her kitten as she drifted off to sleep.
Sleeping people are pretty. Not that Noelani was sleeping perfectly, but she was still a pretty one. Charlie had thought as he went over and put her under her covers.
'Why do I even bother, it's not like she remembers me or anything.' Charlie thought to himself unaware of Noelani's door opening.
"Charlie?"
Charlie jumped and turned around knowing that he had got caught only to see Benny with his hand still on the doorknob wearing his blue pajamas and a brown teddy bear in his other hand.
"Benny? You remember me?" Charlie asked shocked.
"Course I do, though sis and mommy don't. They think I made you and everybody else up in a dream or something." Benny whispered as he quietly closed the door.
"No way…" Charlie said lost in thought as he and Benny sat on Noelani's bed.
'That's impossible, Benny had to have lost his memory of us, unless, Dumbledor didn't… Of course! I'm so stupid! Benny was unconscious! Their was no way for Dumbledor to obliviate Benny's memories!' Charlie thought excitedly as Benny gave him a questioning look.
"What?" Benny asked confused holding his bear tighter to his chest.
"You only remember because Dumbledor didn't erase your memories, you were unconscious so he couldn't erase them." Charlie replied to him.
"Who's Dumbly-dor?" Benny asked him.
"Dumbledor is a Professor, he's headmaster of Hogwarts at my school." Charlie explained.
"Oh, so he's like a principle or teacher?" Benny asked him as Noelani turned to her side on her bed.
"Yea, something like that." Charlie replied as he looked back at Noelani.
"Uhm … why did he erase everybody's memories?" Benny asked him confused.
"Because a lot of bad people in cloaks came and attacked innocent people and he didn't want anybody to know of what they truly were." Charlie tried to explain.
"You mean bad wizards?" Benny asked him.
"Yea, exactly. Dumbledor doesn't want anybody to know that there are wizards and witches out there in the world so the head minister of magic erased peoples memories along with your family so that people wouldn't know of anything that happened." Charlie explained.
"Ooh." Benny replied yawning.
"Why don't you go back to bed?" Charlie asked him.
"No, because if I do, then I'll never see you again." Benny said sadly to him as his eyes started to water.
"Course you will, along with Harry, and Ron which you'll be in the same year with once you come to Hogwarts. You'll be going to the same school with them once you turn eleven." Charlie concluded as Benny started to brighten up after that bit of information.
"Really? How's that gonna happen?" Benny asked.
"Well, seeing as you're a wizard, you'll automatically be accepted to Hogwarts which is a school for kids to learn magic and to be properly trained in using it." Charlie explained as Benny got off on Noelani's bed.
"I can't wait! I'll be able to finally see my friends again!" Benny said excitedly yawning.
"I'm going to bed… bye, bye, Charlie." Benny replied leaving out the door leaving Charlie alone in his own thoughts as he watched Noelani sleep.
Next Day ...
It was an early Wednesday afternoon at about 3:00 p.m. and two days had past since the Grangers had dinner at the Thailand plaza restaurant. Everybody was making preparations for a two-day vacation. Since it was Alyssa and Stuart Granger's 6th anniversary, the young couple had decided to take their grandparent's along. Unfortunately, they couldn't take their daughter along. They came over the agonizing decision of finding a babysitter.
"What are we going to do Stu?" asked Alyssa.
"Well… we could always ask those nice couple-"
"Don't you dare say the Weasley's Stuart!" Alyssa said.
"Why not? Their nice people and I do believe Hermione has taking a liking to one of the boys, Harry I think Hermione said his name was." Stuart exclaimed as they sat at the living room couch discussing arrangements while Hermione was in her room reading.
"The Weasley's just seem … a tad bit strange is all. I mean they have enough children on their own to handle and I don't think Hermione really likes the Weasley kids that much, especially that boy Ron I think. According to Hermione he said that she was a know it all and I don't want that kind of negativity around my baby." Alyssa exclaimed as Stuart sighed out his frustration.
"I've called everyone dear, we don't really have any other options unless we cancel our trip." said Stuart.
"Well I guess since Harry's uncle and godfather will be there, then it should be okay." Alyssa said finally giving in.
"The Weasley's make good neighbors in the neighborhood." Stu said before calling, "I imagine that the Weasley's and Harry's relatives are a very good family, let's give them a call then shall we."
