Ron was sitting in the living room, thinking about everything that had happened that weekend. When he noticed who was on the cover the of Lavender's Witch Weekly, none other than Rose and Lavender yelling at each other from the party, under the headline Her Mother's Daughter.
Rose Weasly yells at Lavender Weasly at the Unveiling Party for Lavender's new line. Inside source says Rose was yelling because Lavender had introduced Rose as her daughter. exact quote in article
"Lavender!" Ron shouts for his wife "What Won-Won?" She responds
"Have you seen the new Witch Weekly?" he says threw clenched teeth he is so angry that one of her friends released that picture and talked to the press
"No, not yet is it here?" She asked eagerly
"Oh its here, and you're on the cover with Rose,"
"Really?" She says as she reaches over to pick up the magazine "This is great,"
"How is this 'great'? Hermione is going to have a fit when she sees this, and it, like everything else that happens in the world, will be entirely my fault," Ron says
"You care way too much what Hermione thinks, and besides they mentioned my new line on the cover of Witch Weekly, you cant buy that type of publicity," Lavender adds in a superior tone
"Draco, babe come here," Hermione calls her husband into the sitting room, Draco walks in
"Yes love," He asks while he brushes some dirt off his hands he had just came in from playing with the twins outside.
"I think we should take the kids somewhere before the term starts, you know all of us as a family," Hermione tells him while she tilts her head slightly to look up at him
"Oh Merlin, woman. You act as though I have ever denied you anything, we can take the lot of them anywhere you like. However, my mother will be broken hearted if you don't include her Love,"
"Oh of course she can come, maybe we should invite Tori and Tracy too, or do you think they will be too busy with the new baby?" Hermione says excitedly
"I think they would enjoy spending time with the older kids before they leave for Hogwarts, well Tori will Tracy sees them all year but you know that," Draco says in an offhanded manner, Tracy teaches charms at Hogwarts.
"Okay you tell your Mum, I will Floo Hugo at Ron's and we can ask Tori and Tracy when they come for dinner tonight," Hermione said with a huge smile lighting up her face.
"You are so easy to please," Draco says to her as he leans over to kiss her forehead then leaves to find his mother.
Hermione walks over to the wall floo, an elevated fire place so you don't have to be on your knees to talk (a Malfoy is never brought to their knees) to call Ron's house. She gets that dizzy feeling disorientated feeling from flooing then Ron's living room comes into view with Lavender sitting on a couch reading a magazine she looks at Hermione
"Hey," Lavender says things have been understandably really awkward between the two of them ever since everything happened
"I needed to speak to my son, is Hugo available?" Hermione asked her voice dripping with formality
"HUGO, YOUR MUM IS ON THE FLOO," Lavender shouts from the couch then looks at Hermione "He should be down in a second," she said in a overly sweet tone
"My god woman next time could you yell a little louder I don't think the neighbors heard you," Hugo says to Lavender rubbing his ear with his finger, then to his mother "Hey Mum what's up?"
"Hey baby we are going to be taking a trip, the whole family, Nana Cissa, Aunty Tori and Aunty Tracy. I know you were going to stay here until term but we really want you to come with us it wont be the same without you,"
Hermione spoke to her son but it wasn't her son who responded because when Hugo was about to open his mouth to respond Lavender could be heard from the couch
"I think you should have asked Ron first Hermione, if we don't let Hugo go then he's going to be disappointed now," Lavender chastises Hermione from the couch. If looks could kill Lavender would have died and turned to dust right there
"Hugo, love go up to your room and get your things, I need to have a word with Lavender," Hermione says in a forced even tone as soon as Hugo leaves the room Hermione's timbre turns cold and controlled "First of all I was talking to my son and I do not appreciate your ease dropping. Furthermore, I have the neither the need nor the inclination to ask permission to take my son anywhere. I think you seem to have forgotten that Draco and I have full custody of the Rose and Hugo. That Hugo visits as regularly as he does is because for some reason he enjoys spending time here and I have not as of yet felt the need to deny him,"
Right then Hugo comes back into the room from obviously listening from the stairs
"Mum I don't really need anything from my room here, I have most of my stuff at home anyhow," He says smiling at Hermione
"Okay Love, you come right thru the floo, Ephraim and Emmy will be so happy to see you," Hermione says pulling her head back into her house.
Author's Note #2: I really enjoyed writng the altercation between Hermione and Lavender, let me know how you think it turned out
Before Hugo follows his mum he looks at Lavender and says "Did you put extra stupid in your tea this morning? Assuming you have the authority to tell my mum what to do, you must be some kind of masochist. Tell my dad and the babies I said bye,"
