Own Nothing.

Two.


Hermione spent the whole afternoon explaining each room of the house to Robin going over things several times for him to understand it. She watched him, as he took his turn with each thing, it amazed her how he took each thing in stride. She lived a pretty normal Muggle life, but she didn't want to explain about her magic just yet.

"Would like to see the truck?" She asked him, seeing his confusion. "It's like your horse and wagon, but without the horse and the wagon."

"Then how is it the same?" He asked as he followed her outside to the front of the house to see a small pick up out front. "What is that beast?"

She leaned up against the truck. "This was my grandfather's old farm truck, when I turned eighteen, it was given to me. It's a Toyota, so it'll last a while." She knew that it didn't mean anything to him. "We use these now instead of a horse and wagon to get around. Would you like to try?" She asked him.

He stared at him, then at Hermione, seeing her ease with the giant metal monster and decided it couldn't be horrible. "How did you tame it?"

She wanted to laugh, but she knew he was just afraid and didn't want to show it. "It is built Robin, just like a wagon is. Come here." She grabbed his hand and led him to the other side and opened the door. "Go on and sit in it." She patted the seat. "It wont eat you."

Robin stared at the cloth seat and took a deep breath. He lifted himself up and sat on the seat. He scooted in more and Hermione closed the door. "You're fine." She told him. "I'm just getting in on the other side." She walked around the front and got in on the driver's seat. She closed her door and smiled at him. "We're okay. You can scoot closer if you want." He did, sitting right next to her, their legs touching. She showed him how to use the seat belt, letting him open and close it several times. "Okay, you ready to go?"

"Go where?" He asked her.

She took the keys from her pocket and turned the truck on, she felt Robin tense next to her and she just smiled at him. "Robin, I want you to understand that I would never do anything to hurt you."

"I only just met you, how can I trust you?" He asked her, staring at her with a frown.

"That's up to you, but I would like you to trust me. I'm your friend, all I want to do and help you understand this world."

"I understood my world." He whispered as he watched her fix her seat belt.

"I'm sorry Robin, but your world is gone." She whispered, squeezing his hand. "We can only live in the now and move on."

He nodded and watched as she put the truck in reverse and pulled out of the driveway and turned around. She shifted gears and they drove off, her hand reached for his and held it as they drove. It took them half an hour before she pulled in the view of the Burrow. "These are my friends and it'll be a bit strange for you, so many new things in one day, but I promise these are good people."

Robin remained silent as they pulled closer to the house and stopped the truck. Robin could see children running around and adults walking outside to great them. Hermione smiled at him as she unbuckled her seat belt and followed the same and they both got out of the truck. "Everyone, this is Robin of the Hood." She introduced him. "Robin, these are my friends. Harry, his wife Ginny, Molly and her husband Arthur and the others are around here some where." She explained.

"Hello." Robin smiled as Harry came to shake his hand.

"Hermione told us you were in her herb garden, you're lucky she didn't kill you herself." Harry smiled. "One time I fell on accident and I crushed on of her plants, she didn't talk to me for two months straight."

Hermione crossed her arms over her chest. "It took me two years Harry to get those Mandrake hybrids to even breed successfully and you crush the only living one!"

"I apologize, I sent you flowers, I sent her books." Harry explained to Robin. "But when Hermione gets mad, she gets mad."

Hermione rolled her eyes as a child came running over. " 'Mione! 'Mione!"

Her eyes lit up as she picked up the four year old. "Teddy! How's my boy?"

"He's her god son." Harry explained next to him. "His parents died when he was a baby, I'm his godfather and she's his godmother."

Robin nodded as he watched Hermione talk to the young child. "She's good with him."

Harry nodded and smiled back at Molly who winked in return. "Why don't we go inside and see what we can find with the clothes Molly found." He led Robin into the house as Hermione played with children for a few extra minutes.


That night, Hermione was helping Robin put his clothes on hangers and up in George's spare room. George only came over once and a while and she figured it would be okay for Robin to use his room. With everything in its place she led Robin to the kitchen to teach him how to make spaghetti.

"You set the noodles in here and let them boil until their ready." She whispered as she showed him. She had watched him all day and she knew he had questions. "What's on your mind?"

"I am I not in heaven? I had died." He looked at her, eyes pleading.

She shrugged. "I asked Molly that as well, she said something about Fate giving you another chance at life. Maybe you'll find someone to love."

"I loved Marian, I married her on her death bed, I fell in love with Kate before I died. I don't understand."

"I don't know Robin, maybe fate is giving you a chance to have a family, a wife and children. You'll meet someone Robin, who will turn your life into something brighter."

"Have you?" He asked. "Have you found love yet?"

"I did, but he wasn't the one I want to spend my life with." She sighed. "He loves another now, they are expecting a baby."

"I'm sorry." Robin stated as she showed him how to roll home made meatballs.

"I'm not. He would have wanted me to stay home and take care of the children. I have a life and I want to keep it that way. No, when I find a man who loves me, who loves that Teddy is much like my son as he is to Harry. That I have battle scars because I have fought in a war, that I still have nightmares. And he still loves me, wants to be with me. Even when we'd have to share the responsibility of raising our children, then I'll marry."

Robin smiled and lifted up the glass of water she had given him earlier. "Here's to finding love."

She smiled and lifted up her own glass and tapped his. "To finding family."
