"Harry?" Ron looked surprised to see me, like I was the one who had been hiding for five years.
Yeah, it's me," I grumbled.
"It's good to see you," he said not meeting my eyes.
"Harry is everything okay?" Hermione called to me.
"YEAH DADDY WHO THE BAD GUY!" Harmony shouted.
"It's okay, come on up," I told them.
"Who're you talking to?" Ron questioned.
"My wife and daughter," I answered.
Hermione and Harmony finished walking up the hill, hand in hand laughing until Hermione caught sight of who I was talking to. Harmony ran right inside, ignoring us, while Hermione looked completely in shock. Ron went to hug her but she brushed him off.
"So where's your wife at?" Ron wondered.
"I'm standing right here," Hermione growled walking closer to me and hooking our arms together.
"Oh, so who's the little rat with you?" Ron questioned.
"How dare you call my daughter that!" Hermione shouted smacking him across the face.
Ron quickly grabbed his beating red cheek. I saw one single tear drop from his and Hermione's eyes.
"I'm sorry Ronald," Hermione murmured.
"It's fine. I see you still have one killer slap," Ron chuckled.
I couldn't take this anymore! He left us five years ago and now he thinks he can just laugh his way back into our lives.
"Why are here?" I questioned.
"I missed you guys. I missed coming home and laughing with everyone. I missed hearing Hermione's smartass remarks. I missed always visiting St. Mungo because of you, Harry. I also want my son Raymond and my daughter Renee to meet their godparents," he finished.
Hermione and I looked in complete shock. He had kids? No, he had two kids. Wow. But why did he name us their godparents? I mean the last time we talked we were fighting on the ground in front of the Burrow.
"So who are the godparents for your kid?" Ron wondered.
"Bill and Fleur," Hermione answered.
"Oh, I guess that makes sense," Ron mumbled.
"Look, we would have chosen you, but you were gone for almost six years," I concluded.
"DADDY! DADDY!" these two little red-headed twins cheered coming out of the Shell Cottage.
Ron kneeled down then embraced them.
"What happened?" Ron asked.
"The new girl is a meaner!" the girl exclaimed.
"How?" Ron wondered.
"Daddy, she pushed me then threw a book at me and told me to go wead!" the boy cried.
Ron turned to us with a confused look on his face.
"She really likes to read," we said in unison.
Harmony ran out the house laughing with Teddy and Victoire in tow. Harmony ran into my arms holding a very drenched book about colors.
"Uncle Harry and Aunt Mione, Mony hit the mean girl and made her fall!" Victoire cheered.
"Yeah she's our hero!" Teddy agreed.
That's when Ron's daughter hit Harmony on the back of her head with a small pebble. Causing Harmony to jump down and tackle her into the muddy water. Ron's son tried to help but only got tackled by Teddy and Victoria. Bill, Tonks, Remus, and Fleur ran out the house in a hurry to see the five of them fighting in the mud.
"HARMONY JEAN POTTER, GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!" Hermione yelled.
"EDWARD TED LUPIN, GET OUT THAT WATER NOW!" Tonks yelled.
"VICTORIE WEASELY, GET OVER HERE!" Fleur shouted.
"RAYMOND ARUTHER WEASELY AND RENEE MONICA WEASELY, COME HERE!" an unknown voice yelled.
All of the kids rushed out the mud, frowning as they did so. Harmony, Victoire, and Teddy just walked over hiding their faces with their hands in shame. Ron's kids met Lavender Brown, now Weasley, halfway to the Burrow.
Hermione, Tonks, and Fleur all used a cleaning spell on the kids and began to lecture them on the atrocities of fighting. Lavender tried, but failed causing Hermione to walk over and help her.
"Momma, I hungry!" Harmony cried.
Hermione scooped her up in her arms.
"Oh Aunt Fleur and Dora guess what!" Harmony cheered.
"What?" they asked.
"I can do MAGIC!" Harmony cheered.
"SO CAN WE!" Teddy and Victoire cheered.
"WE CAN BE FRIENDS!" Harmony yelled.
"DEAL!" they giggled.
After that we all said our goodbyes and apprated back home. Hermione took Harmony to put her in the bath. I could hear the giggles coming from the bathroom, so I had to check it out. I walked into the light red bathroom to spot Hermione with a bubble beard and noticed Harmony was sporting the same. I couldn't help but laugh at this. After the bath we made simple salads and Hermione and I began talking about what happened today. Harmony brought up Ron and his kids.
"Momma, that girl is evil," Harmony mumbled.
"Why is that?" Hermione wondered.
"She called Vic a bullfrog then Teddy a rainbow, but when she called me a freak. I lost it!" Harmony exclaimed making some of her greens bounce off her plate.
"I see, she does sound mean but can't you give her a second chance?" I pleaded.
"Maybe, but I not sure. She really hurt Teddy feelings calling rainbow," she concluded.
"Just think about it love," Hermione told her.
"Yes momma."
Soon dinner was finished, Harmony instisted she wanted to sleep in our bed tonight. Oh, and Mister Waffles! As soon as her head hit the pillow she was out like a light. Of course her being in the middle means Hermione and I are at arms-length from each other. I looked over and noticed she was knocked out also. Before I went to sleep, I got an owl saying Ron wants to come over for tea tomorrow. I reluctantly accepted and slowly drifted off.
Thanks just-to-be-alive at being the best beta ever!
Side-note I naturally dislike Ron so if I make him come off a stupid or an ass it's because I hate his character. Sorry any Ron lovers
