Hugo Weasly felt like he was living his young life between a rock and a hard place. He loved both his parents very much and he had pretty awesome step parents too, well Lavender has her moments anyway. But he always felt like he was in the middle because he unlike Rosie didn't blatantly choose one parent over the other. He understood that Rose had a lot of resentment toward their dad for all the pain and trouble he had caused both her and their mum. It was hard on Rose it had happened just after she started her first year of Hogwarts and people gave her real hard time of it. Hugo however knew that his dad had never meant for either of them to be hurt, that's a conversation that Hugo would remember his whole life long.

A nine year old Hugo sat there on the grass out side his grandma Molly's house with his dad. This is the first time he had gotten to see his dad in weeks

"Hugh, son I am so sorry for all this, I never meant for it to happen this way. I love you Hugo and I love Rosie. I know your only nine but you're Hermione's son so you are right brilliant, I need you to understand. That sometimes things just get so far out of hand that no matter what you do its not the right thing, because someone you care about is going to get hurt. I made some very big mistakes things that I shouldn't have done but you can never change the past. A real man stands up and admits when he has done wrong by someone son and that's what I am doing right now," Ron stops talking for a minute and just holds his head in his hands "Things between your mum and I have been sour for a while but that was no excuse for what I did and I will forever regret hurting your mum and you kids, she was and hopefully someday again will be one of my greatest friends. but now you have a little brother on the way isn't that something that you can be excited about? Don't you want to be a big brother?" Ron asked with tears shinning in his eyes he tries to hide form his son

That was the first time Hugo had ever seen his dad cry and he felt like he had to make him feel better after weeks of watching his mum nursing a broken heart it never struck him that his dad would be upset too and it rocked him to his core and he understood for the first time what the newspapers meant by broken family, they were all broken now.

"Hey Hughie, do you wanna come see the see the baby with me? Ephraim said he wouldn't cause babies are dumb but if you came too he might and I don't wanta go alone," Emberlyn said from the hall

"Sure kiddo go on and tell Ephraim I am going with you to see the baby if he wants to tagalong as well," Hugo said to the little blonde girl standing in his doorway.

Hermione isn't one for revenge but this time she just might go along with it within reason, "Tori, if you cause her line to fail it will effect the income what if they lose the house or worse cant feed all those kids?" She added to the discussion

"Silly Gryffindor, always have to worry about everything its not like I'm clearing her vault only causing a snafu with the new line, the same line one of her horrid friends thought to endorse by using our sweet innocent little Rosie as tabloid material. Now I know you have a heart of gold and all but this is taking it a bit too far think of Rosie now is what that wench did to her okay? Can you really let her or the bints she calls friends think its okay to attack our little Rosie Posy?" Tracy said

"Well no but…" was all Hermione got out before Pansy, who had joined them soon after Tracy and Tori, started in

"All those bimbos thought you would be too soft to do anything about it and they went and plastered Rosie on the front of some rag with out even a thought and you know that her father is useless totally and completely. We have to protect her honey no one else will. Surely don't want them to think she is an acceptable target now do you?"

"Of course not…" this time it was Narcissa who interrupted

"Then the only sensible thing to do is make her thoroughly regret the day she thought to attack a Malfoy, because Malfoys always get even, honey always."

Rose was listening to the entire exchange under the pretense of holding baby Acton, it made her smile when Narcissa called her a Malfoy. Rose and Narcissa were very close, Rose being the granddaughter Narcissa so desperately wanted and Narcissa being the only person who didn't feel the need to tell her she should forgive her father.

"Okay okay the lot of you win, we will make her and all those involved regret it. Do your worst, but do try to keep the children out of it" Hermione said, little did she know that this was all the beginning.

Lavender Weasley was in complete shock this could not be happening, but it was the article clasped in her hand proof enough of that. And there scowling up at her from the page Pansy Zabini nee Parkinson, of course it was those nasty Slytherins no one else would say such horrid things about her designs;

quaint and simple,

obviously trying to hard to stand out with the use of uncomplimentary colors,

my god daughter could put together better outfits and she has just learned to dress herself.

This was going to ruin her line, no one would want to wear it after having one of the top fashion writers trash it so thoroughly. Hopefully Parvati could help her with the fall out, she always knows what to do. Then again, Lavender thought to herself it was her idea to use Rose's picture to plug the line in the first place. Ron was furious when he found that out, as mad as Lavender had ever seen him. He was still at his mother's house. He would come back he always does he can't very well let two marriages fail on him now can he. As much as Molly detested how they had gotten together she loved all her grandchildren and would be thoroughly disappointed in her youngest son if he put more of his children in a broken home.
