As they walked back into the house Hermione reminded Skylar to use his manners and all the other motherly things that mother's would do in any public function. As they walked into the kitchen everyone was still deep in conversation and didn't notice Skylar and Hermione enter. The only person who noticed was Fred.

"Oi! Listen up you lot! 'Mione's got someone with her." Shouted Fred as the whole room went into complete silence and looked at Hermione and the teenage boy besides her. Skylar shifted uncomfortably and flipped his hair so he could partially see.

"Um everyone this is Skylar my son." Hermione said a little worried on how they would all react when they saw him. But more importantly about how Skylar would react.

"Well it is so good to meet you Skylar." Said Molly approaching the boy to give him a hug but Skylar stuck his hand out politely instead. He didn't know this woman he certainly didn't want to have her touch him after just meeting her.

"Pleasure to meet you to ma'am." Skylar mumbled

"Skylar this is Mrs. Weasley Ginny's mum and those." Hermione gestured towards the other line of redheads sitting around the table. "Are her brothers." She finished

"Cool." Skylar mumbled

"Well here sit down foods almost finished. Ladies do help me serve won't you." Said Molly walking back into the kitchen while all of the other woman around the table stood up to go help Molly. Hermione started to stand up but Skylar tugged her hand and she looked at him.

"I'll be a few minutes Sky." She said trying to ease some of his anxiety. He simply nodded and let go of her hand.

Once all of the ladies were gone the room was filled with an awkward silence. Remus was the first to try and break the ice.

"So Skylar how old are you?" Asked Remus seeing that the boy was obviously uncomfortable

"Fifth teen." Skylar mumbled as soon as he answered the question his phone went off and it dinged. Telling him that he had received a text.

"What was that?" said the twins in unison

"Oh that was my phone." Skylar said

"A what?" asked Percy

"I believe that it is a muggle invention. Am I right?" Arthur asked Skylar who nodded his head in approval

"Then why was it dinging?" asked Fred

"It could have a bell attached to it." Said George

"It dinged because I got a text." Said Skylar pulling his phone from his pocket. He loved his phone. For many reasons being number one because it was an iPhone and because it housed all of his beloved music on it. And a couple of pictures of his friends and his girlfriend.

Skylar smirked to himself when he saw who it was from. It was from his girlfriend Kat.

Hey Babe!;) How's it going? The text read Skylar started to reply in an instant his thumbs flying across the screen.

It's ok I guess. I miss you but right now im at a dinner thing so I might not be able to talk long.:(

He replied just as the ladies walked back into the room with plates of food on them. Hermione returned to her seat next to e her son when she noticed that he had his phone out.

"Skylar! What is the rule about texting at the dinner table?"

"I thought that rule only applied when we were at OUR dinner table." Skylar mumbled under his breath but loud enough for Hermione to hear it.

"Put it away or I'm taking it." She said in her mother toned witch she rarely had to use

"Fine." Huffed Skylar as he shoved his phone back into his pocket. Hermione eyed him and went back to the conversation that Harry had just brought her into. Skylar just played with his food. He wasn't really hungry. But then again he was never really hungry. So he just pushed around his food with his fork when his phone went off again.

"Who keeps texting you didn't you tell them that you were at dinner?" said Hermione lightly

"I don't know?" was his simple answer

"So what school do you go to Skylar?" asked Mr. Weasley

"Durmstrang. Every now and then." Skylar said not looking up from his plate

"Oh. So not Hogwarts then?" Percy said

"No." was Skylar's simple response

"Hermione I bet this boy would be placed in either Ravenclaw or Gryffindor if he's as bright as you are." Said Sirius

"I don't know what do you think Skylar?" Hermione asked knowing that Gryffindor would be out of the question considering the fact that he was so much like his father.

"I don't know why does it matter?"

"Well because that's all the fun of Hogwarts besides Quiditch. Do you play?" asked Sirius

"A bit. But I prefer swimming or skateboarding."

"You swim?" asked Angelina Johnson wife of Fred. Skylar just nodded

"Skys is the best on his team won nationals in what event was it Sky?"

"Butterfly." He mumbled

"Oh right I can never remember that one. But he does do well." Said Hermione proudly

"What's your best time?" asked Harry

"A 22.21." Skylar shrugged

"Really?" asked Harry flabbergasted "In which stroke?"

"Breaststroke."

"Wow you must be really good then." Said Harry amazed. Something about this boy bothered him a little bit but he didn't know why.
