Ginny and Harry stayed for a couple of hours and after that everyone had dinner.
Now it was late at night all of the kids were safely, or at least we hope, in their beds. The silence was soothing and new to Ron and Hermione.
"Well everyone's safely in their bed… What do you want to do?" Ron asked with a mischievous grin.
"Not tonight Ron, I'm so tired I just want to sleep…" Hermione yawned as they walked upstairs.
"Oh come on Hermione please!" Ron begged kissing her neck lightly.
Hermione laughed lightly careful not to wake anyone. "Ron! I said not tonight! Stop it!" She said pushing him off of her as they both entered their bedroom.
"Hey I can't help that you're so god damn attractive!" Ron said stripping down to only his boxers.
"Well you can at least try." Hermione said with a grin as she got dressed into her nightgown. "Goodnight" she murmured and got into her bed as Ron did shortly after she did.
"Mom! Mom! Wake up this an emergency!" Shannon shouted running into her parent's bedroom.
"What could possibly be wrong now?" Hermione asked groggily her eyes open. She was slowly getting up from bed. Shannon had woken her a little while ago to ask her, her opinion on what dress would look better on her.
"Oh you have no idea!" Shannon said shaking her head "Follow me. Quickly!" Shannon exclaimed pulling her downstairs into the kitchen.
"Oh my-!" Hermione said her eyes very wide with surprise as she saw smoke filling the room that was the kitchen or at least that's what it was. She coughed. She saw everyone scurrying around trying to escape. "Everyone out of the house!" Hermione ordered she still had that bossy tone she had in Hogwarts what could she say it was one of here many specialties. Hermione saw a small fire starting to spread.
The only one there now besides Hermione was Ron. "I… I can explain!" Ron said.
"Oh ho ho you'd better!" Hermione said tapping her foot impatiently. To think she could have still been sleeping, but instead she had to clean up Ron's mess like always!
"Well.. You see I was trying to cook the muggle way and well this happened…" Ron explained.
"Why didn't you have Belle help you, Ron?" You know you could have burned the house down and we just can't afford that to happen now can we?! Also someone could have gotten hurt I can only imagine that happening!" Hermione went on and on completely furious.
Meanwhile outside
"Mom's probably killing dad in there!" Justin said with a laugh. He was more than a little entertained knowing his father had done this many, many times before and each time their mom would be outraged.
"I know! I'll be surprised if they even put out the fire!" Hayley said with a nod rolling her eyes in the process.
"I offered dad my help, but he just had to do it himself and look what happened he almost burned down the house1 Are you writing this all down Annabelle?" Belle asked having a most calm yet worried look on her face.
"Yep! Just give me a moment.. Ok continue!" Annabelle said writing like crazy it's a wonder why her hand doesn't hurt from writing like that.
"Daddy made the house 'splode!" Tyler shouted his eyes huge with excitement.
Rachelle laughed "You said it Ty!"
"You HAD to admit that was pretty cool!" Dylan said.
"Yeah that was wicked!" Ian said nodding in agreement.
"Hey. Look the kitchen's not smoking anymore!" Shannon pointed out.
Soon enough Hermione and Ron headed towards them that's when they knew it was safe to go back in yet they waited for their permission to be reassured. "Ok everyone thanks to me it's safe to go back inside" Hermione said.
"Hey! I helped!" Ron interjected.
"You started it dear you should've helped." Hermione said
A few hours later a little bit after lunch….
"I can't believe you made me wash the dye out! Now I look like everyone else!" Hayley complained her hair was now back to it's Weasley red color.
"Oh? What's so wrong with that?" Hermione asked her hand on her hips.
"Everything! You just.. Just don't understand! You never understand me!" Hayley shouted and ran up to her room and slammed the door shut. All part of Hayley and Hermione's motherly daughter fights.
Hermione sighed "Oh the joys of parent hood…"
"Great! Now I can't get into my room.." Justin muttered.
"She has to come out eventually" Hermione said mostly to herself.
"I know one thing she would stay in there all day if it was up to her…" Justin said walking away.
Hermione sighed once again. "She hates me…"
"Oh.. I wouldn't take it too personally, love" Ron said coming up from behind her.
"Oh really? How would you know about mother/daughter relationships?" Hermione asked.
"Well I don't know much, but I do know this much. Mum and Ginny used to fight a whole lot they just tried to hold back when you and Harry were around." Ron said "My point is all mother and daughters fight I think you might have skipped that part with Belle though"
"So.. You don't think I'm a horrible mother?" Hermione asked.
Ron shook his head. "No.. maybe a little mental, but definitely not horrible. You're a terrific mother and an even better wife."
He always knew how to make her feel better and flatter her at the same time. "Oh Ron…" She said as her lips met his.
They soon broke apart due to an interruptions. "Mom! Dad! Someone's at the door!" Tyler shouted.
"Who could it possibly be I'm certainly not expecting anyone…" Hermione thought aloud to herself.
Ron shrugged "Whoever it is we shouldn't keep them waiting…" Ron said.
Hermione nodded. "Right…" she said as they both went down together to open the door.
The couple both froze when they saw one familiar face that stood before them and one not so familiar one. One was a young man the other was a young woman. The man had dark reddish brown hair and twinkling blue eyes.
The woman standing next to him had platinum blonde hair and the prettiest deep blue eyes. Yet something about her said that she hung out a bars and would jump at the chance of having a one night stand.
Ron and Hermione just stood there staring at the two of them occasionally looking at each other.
"Is that the way to greet your oldest son who you haven't seen in months that just came back from America!?" Tanner said with a laugh inviting himself and the unknown girl in.
"Oh! It's so good to have my baby back!" Hermione said tearful ling hugging him tight in fear if she let go he would disappear.
"'Mione he just got back don't suffocate him." Ron said pulling his wife off of their son. "So you've been in America all that time. Did you know you had your mother worried sick, but you know how she is." Ron said.
"Who's at the - Tanner!" Shannon squealed. Everyone came bolting down the stairs pummeling Shannon. "Ow! Watch it! You're killing me here!"
The last to come was Belle who walked down the stair slowly and quietly just staring at them a trace of a smile could be found if you looked hard enough. It slowly showed no sign of a smile when she saw the other girl with him holding his hand.
"Aren't you going to introduce me, suga?" She asked in a disgustingly sweet voice.
"Oh yes sorry.." Tanner said. "Everyone this is Patricia Fields we're.. Um together… Oh and Patricia this is my family so yeah.."
"Very nice to meet you Pat-t-ricia…" Hermione choked out having trouble saying it or not wanting to say them.
"Let's all sit down…" Ron suggested breaking the awkward silence. Everyone then went into the living room Ron and Hermione leading and they all sat down.
"So… um tell me about yourself… Patricia…" Hermione said looking at her intensely.
The kids glanced at each other if they knew any better they would know their mother was extremely angry.
"Well I'm from America and I'm a…" She turned to Tanner "What are the non-magical people like me called again?"
"Muggles" Tanner said.
"Yeah that's it I'm a muggles!" Patricia squealed seeming very satisfied about being a muggle.
"She's not very bright now is she?" Rachelle whispered to Anabelle both of then giggling having to muffle them with their hands.
"Oh… So you told her?" Ron questioned.
Tanner nodded "Why wouldn't I ? We tell each other everything."
"Well I highly doubt you tell each other everything." Hermione said emphasizing the word 'everything'.
"Oh we do! I wouldn't want to be with anyone, but him!" Patricia said in a squeaky annoying voice. "Oh and please call me Patty it's way easier only Tan's allowed to call me Trish." She said with a wink.
"Trish!" Tyler chirped from under her feet.
"Aww isn't he precious!" Patty cooed. "I just want to eat him up!"
Tyler looked at her strangely not knowing what to think of her.
"So… Patty what do you do for a living?" Hermione asked.
"Oh… I do lots of things I model, test beauty products, do commercials mostly for shampoos and conditioners (most of them didn't know what she was taking about), I was a stripper for a little while, I did cook yet I burned down the house I'm no good at that kind of stuff…." Patty went on and on.
"How lovely…" Hermione said managing to fake a smile.
"That's very… err interesting…" Ron said.
"Can you excuse me for just a minute?" Belle asked standing up not waiting for a response, motioning for Tanner to come with her.
"Yeah I think I'm going to have to be excused too…" Tanner said getting up and the both of them walked into the kitchen.
"What are you doing here!?" Belle asked her hands on her hips.
"What you're not happy to see me?" Tanner asked putting on a fake pout.
Belle rolled her eyes at how pathetic her brother looked. "I am, but that's not the point!" Belle said.
"What's your point then? If you don't have one then I'll just go back and sit with my beautiful fiancé'" Tanner grinned.
"What?! She's your fiancé' that - that whore!" Belle shouted she was not used to using foul language. Tanner looked astounded.
"Isabelle Ginevra Weasley! I'm impressed at your choice of words welcome to the dark side, but don't ever talk about her like that again."
Belle rolled her eyes once again. "Yeah, yeah. I just don't get it how could you love her?"
"That's just one thing sis that you'll never understand." Tanner said. "Mom's totally outraged isn't it great?"
"Uggh! I hate you!" Belle shouted.
"I love you too." Tanner grinned.
"How could you possibly get joy in that!?" Belle asked.
Tanner chuckled. "That's yet another thing you'll never understand
"You are SO glad you're my favorite brother!" Belle said.
"Is everything alright in there suga?" Patty called.
"Everything's fine Trish!" Tanner called back.
Belle looked completely disgusted. "We should probably go back in…"
Tanner nodded and they both walked back in the living room sitting down at there regular spots.
"Hey suga!" Patty squealed her eyes lighting up.
Hermione's eyes widened focusing hard on a certain object. She turned to her husband and whispered something in his ear. He nodded and cleared his throat. "Ok kids why don't you all go up stairs.?" Ron said.
"Aww, but dad!" They all whined in unison.
"Upstairs now!" He ordered pointing towards the stairs.
They looked towards their mother hoping she would say otherwise. "You heard your father upstairs!"
They all grumbled as they went upstairs muttering something to one another.
Tanner sighed her looked to Patty then to his parents. "You know. Don't you?"
"Ohhh yeahh" Hermione said looking very annoyed.
"Oh I'm so sorry, suga, I just had to show this baby off it's 6 carat solid diamond." Patty said happily holding her hand out that contained the engagement ring up to the light making it reflect.
"Right. That's very nice?" Hermione said making it sound more like a question than an answer. "How did you afford that?" she mouthed to her son.
Tanner just simply shrugged the turned back to his fiancé'. "Don't worry about it I can never stay mad at you."
Patty giggled flirtatiously.
"So exactly how long have you two known each other?" Hermione asked her eyebrows raised wanting an answer really quick.
"Well err you see…" Tanner trailed off.
"She means buisness, son, you'd better give her a straight answer." Ron said knowingly.
"Right we've known each other for-" He started, but got cut off.
"5 months!" Patty chirped a soft groan could be heard from Tanner.
Ron and Hermione exchanged nervous looks. "Don't you think you're rushing it a bit?" Hermione asked.
Tanner shook his head. "Well all I know is I love her and am going to spend the rest of my life getting to know her" He said and kissed Patty.
"What he said!" Patty said a little overwhelmed for some strange reason.
"Whatever happened to that nice girl Shelby?" Ron asked curiously.
"Yeah what did happen to her? I did quite like her she was such a lovely girl!" Hermione said hoping her son would reconsider his decision.
"Well it didn't work out between us, but now I have the most wonderful woman I could ask for." He said smiling at Patty.
"He's such a sweetheart!" She cooed kissing his cheek.
"Oh that is really too bad…" Hermione said sadly.
"Not really she's the one who broke up with me…" Tanner said shaking his head.
"Aww poor baby I don't know why anyone would want to leave him. All these British girls must be terminally ill." Patty said with a laugh.
What Patty said greatly offended Hermione for she herself was British and that she found was very insulting. She had also found Shelby to be very much like herself except much more free spirited.
"So have you found any place to stay for the time being?" Ron asked.
Tanner shook his head. "No we haven't found a place yet we weren't really planning on staying though…"
"Well.. You can stay here we have an extra room" Ron suggested as Hermione glared at him not happy with this arrangement.
"Well…" Tanner said thinking about it.
"We think it's a great idea!" Patty chirped without even discussing it first with Tanner.
"Great go get yourselves settled then" Ton said.
Once the two had disappeared upstairs Hermione didn't look very happy.
"What?" Ron asked with a shrug.
"You know exactly what! Why did you have to suggest that?" Hermione shouted.
"I was just trying to be nice." Ron said.
"Humph!" Hermione huffed angrily then went upstairs.
