When we last left our beloved characters: Mr. & Mrs. Granger's memories were returned to normal.
"And then we flooed here after Fred's funeral," Hermione finished with a sigh. "We went searching for you guys at the library, but we found you in the phone book. And here we are."
Mrs. Granger nodded, holding her mug of tea, and looked out the window into the garden as Mr. Granger looked at his watch before saying, "Well it's 6:00. How 'bout we go and get some dinner?"
Ron and Harry, who had trying to conceal the rumblings of their stomachs, quickly stood up from their seats and nodded. Everyone got into the car, the teens stuffed in the back of the Grangers' Mini Cooper, and drove to a small restaurant near Clovelly Bay. They entered the Café and were seated and after awhile they ordered. Mrs. Granger got a Seasalt BLT, Mr. Granger: Fish and Chips; Harry and Ron both ordered toasted sandwiches, Ginny unsure of what to get ordered a Ham and Cheese toastie, and Hermione ordered a lamb burger. They silently enjoyed their meals, Ron and Hermione secretly holding hands under the table, before Mr. Granger took out his wallet and began to pull out several bills before both Ron and Harry protested.
"Mr. Granger, We've caused enough stress today, the least we could do is pay for dinner," Harry objected.
"No it's alright. I've got the check. It's my way of thanking you for bringing our little girl home, and not letting her come here on her own."
"Hey I'm not so little anymore. I infiltrated the Ministry of Magic for Merlin's sake."
"Yep Hermione can hold her own," Ginny commented.
"Yep she's one tough cookie, but thanks anyway," Mrs. Granger agreed.
"We'd do anything for Mione, but that's not the point. I'll pay for it," he said, trying to pull money out of his pocket, but instead his hand got stuck in it and as he tried to remove it, looking very much like a trapped raccoon not wanting to let go of its shiny treasure. He finally got his hand free and sickles and knuts went flying everywhere. Ron turned red from embarrassment. One knut soared through the air into a pompous, cranky-looking woman's drink. She slowly fished it out and was looking at it when Hermione picked it up off the woman's fork and nervously smiled before hurrying back to the others.
They slowly collected the small amount of wizard coins and handed them back to Ron. He quietly agreed to let Mr. Granger pay when Hermione kindly pointed out he didn't have muggle money.
Afterwards they all walked on the coastal walk and along the beach. When they reached the beach, Ron and Harry, who had never seen the ocean, would run barefoot as fast as they could before running back and almost tackling Ginny and Hermione.
"Wow, they are childish," Ginny laughed as the boys took off on another running match. "I mean, I've never been to the beach or seen the ocean and I'm not making a fool of myself," she said picking up another seashell.
"No, of coarse you're not. You're just picking up every shell you see, even if they're broken," Hermione laughed. Ginny looked down at her handfuls of shells.
"Well, uh… mum will want some…," she said quietly. Hermione just laughed and pointed out a fully intact screw shell. Ginny rushed over and picked it up quickly, as if someone had seen it too and was going to take it from her. She walked back over to Hermione and her parents, before the boys came tearing back to them. This time they were wet and sandy.
"Nice. What happened?" Ginny asked after Harry hugged her, getting her soaked as well.
"Harry pushed me and so he fell over in the sand. He finally caught me and then pushed me into the water," Ron said with a smile. He continued to pant afterwards, trying to catch his breath. They finally walked back to the car.
"So you kids are staying at our house right?" Mrs. Granger asked.
"Of course, mum. We just need to check out of the hotel we are staying at," Hermione told her.
"Okay, well let's drive over there and get your stuff," Mr. Granger said.
"Mr. Granger?"Ron asked.
"Yes?"
"It was kind of packed earlier in the car, but I was thinking," Ron said. Ginny was about to say something but Harry put his hand over her mouth, to which she responded with licking it. Ron glared at his sister "I was thinking, I could apparate over into the room grab our stuff, check out and then just apparate back to the house. It would be quicker, and more comfortable."
"Ron, you aren't really the best at apparating," Hermione said quietly.
"I can do it. I just need to concentrate."
"Okay, but maybe I should go along, just incase you get hurt."
"I'll be fine," he reassured. She nodded and a large pop filled the air. Mr. & Mrs. Granger jumped at the noise and the fact that the redhead just disappeared. After a few seconds of just standing there awkwardly, they loaded up into the car and drove home. After about fifteen minutes of waiting for Ron, Hermione finally said that she was going to go find him. Right before she grabbed her bag, the phone rang. She lunged at it and picked it up.
"Ron?!"
"Um, no. Is this Monica Wilkins?"
"Oh, no, sorry," she said disappointedly before handing the phone to her mother. Her mum took the phone from her and nodded as the caller talked.
"Oh my," she gasped, before putting her hand over the phone and saying, "Ronald has been arrested."
A/N: OH WHAT NOW!? *Gasp* What did you do to Ron?!? CLIFFHANGER! Now review! Or I shall have to torture you guys and make you wait a long time for the next Chapter. So yeah…
