Runaway to Home
: I'll try to make this chapter longer. But it's a little hard for me to write long chapters because im really busy during the summer. And I will try to update quicker.
Chapter 7:
Hermione knocked on the door of the Weasleys house.
"Hermione, they're probably asleep." Harry said worried.
"I know." She answered trying to open the door, but to her surprise the door opened by it self.
Standing in the door was Ronald Weasley.
"Ron. Oh thank goodness it's you." Hermione said hugging him.
"What the bloody hell are you guys doing here now?"
"Sorry Ron. But I had to get away from home. Can we come in? It's a little cold."
"Wha-. Oh right. Sorry." He moved out of the way so they could come in. He watched as Harry walked in followed by 2 boys and a girl closely skittering in and Hermione.
"Hermione, who are they?" Ron looked puzzled.
Hermione didn't answer.
She led her brothers and sister into Ron's living room. "I'm really sorry to impose on you like this Ron, but I needed to leave my house. Would it be okay if they slept here?" Hermione asked tired, and pointed to her siblings.
"Um. Sure." Ron grabbed four blankets and handed them to Hermione. "Who are they?"
"These are my siblings. This is Devrik, Latisha & Leesil." As she said their names they smiled at Ron. Then she turned to her siblings and said, "This is Ron and Harry. They go to school with me."
"Oh." Said Devrik.
"You guys try to go to sleep and I am going to talk to Ron and Harry. Okay?" they nodded and each grabbed a blanket from Hermione. Harry Hermione and Ron walked to the kitchen. "Thanks Ron. I'm really sorry I haven't written. I've been…..busy. How was your summer Harry?"
"Not as good as I hoped." Harry smiled. "You?" Hermione closed her eyes and a tear trickled down her cheek. "Hermione? What's wrong? "Harry and Ron said worried.
"I didn't have a great summer." Suddenly Harry noticed a couple bumps and bruises on Hermione's arms and neck.
"Hermione were you hit? Who hit you?" Hermione looked up at him.
"Please don't tell anyone, I'm already going to be in trouble for running away. He'll kill my family if anyone finds out." Hermione leaned against the wall letting tears fall from her face. Ron was shock. He had always thought Hermione had a great life.
"Hermione, why didn't you tell us to come get you?"
"I couldn't. My dad wanted to take me out of school, because he hates our kind. He'd kill me if you came and took me.
Harry realizing that this was hard for Hermione to confess pulled Hermione into a hug. "Hermione." He said softly, "Ron and I are your best friends and we would do anything to help you." Hermione felt warm in Harry's arms. She let Harry just hold her comfortingly.
Ron patted Hermione on the back and hugged her a bit, "yeah. We care about you, and we will help you in anyway we can. We would go out of our way for you Hermione." Hermione pulled away from Harry and hugged Ron and Harry both. "Thank you, both of you." Hermione cried. "You don't know what that means to me." She let go of them, to compose herself again.
Ron, Hermione, and Harry sat at the kitchen table talking for an hour before realizing it was 3am. And needed sleep.
Harry and Hermione each grabbed a blanket and found a spot on the floor.
Harry woke up very early that morning. The sun was just rising and it was completely quiet. Harry loved it. He sat on a chair and looked out a window watching the sun rise. Harry sat there for about a half hour before he heard footsteps on the stairs. He forgot, he wasn't the only one who was up at the crack of dawn each morning. Even though he knew Mrs.Weasley would know that he was here, he didn't feel like talking so he quickly got back under his blanket and pretended to sleep. He saw Mrs.Weasley walk by into the kitchen. A few minutes later he smelled breakfast cooking and heard Mrs.Weasley humming to herself. Next to Harry, Hermione was still sleeping, as were all her siblings. Harry smiled when he heard Ron coming down the stairs. He got to his feet and walked over to Ron standing in the doorway of the living room.
"Hungry?" Ron asked.
"Famished." Harry laughed.
Together the two boys walked into the kitchen and waited for Mrs.Weasley to realize they were standing there.
"Ahhh! Hello Harry!" She said running over to him and giving him a big hug.
"Mom! Let him breathe." Ron laughed. "And be quiet. There are still people sleeping."
"Who?" Came another voice from the doorway.
"Ohh. Hermione!" she gave Hermione a big hug too, and asked, "when did you both get here, I didn't know you were coming now? Are you hungry dears?"
"The pair laughed at how fast Mrs.Weasley could talk.
"I'm hungry." All three, soon to be, 6 years said. When they sat at the table Hermione turned to Mrs. Weasley and said, "Sorry Mrs.Weasley. We should have owled you, but I had some trouble at home and I brought Harry here with me," she paused debating if she should tell Mrs.Weasley about her siblings. "And my younger siblings."
"Ohh. Hermione I didn't know you had siblings. Are they hungry?"
"Yes, I have 3 sister and 4 brothers. And they are still sleeping. I'm sorry, but I had to bring them with me. You see, my father isn't too fond of our kind. And they are the only ones in my family who are magical also. But please don't mention it around them, them being magical. They don't know yet. My brother Devrik, has shown signs of being a wizard but I hid it from him and the twins, Latisha and Leesil will be showing sings any year." Harry saw a tear fall from Hermione face as she looked away into the living room.
"Hermione, may I ask what that trouble was?"
"It was nothing really. My dad just wanted me to have a normal life, he only wants the best for me and I understand that. But he doesn't understand that my place is at Hogwarts."
"Muggles can be like that sometimes." Hermione looked like she was glaring at Mrs. Weasley for calling her parents muggles. "It will be all better in no time dear." Mrs. Weasley said as she gave Harry, Ron, and Hermione a plate of pancakes. "Oh and tomorrow dears we go to Sirius' house." Ron watched as Harry's face lit up with joy, from the thought of seeing Remus, but then he saw Harry frown and knew he was thinking about their 5th year..
Just then they heard 2 sets of foot steps coming down the stairs.
"Morning Mum,-" George said.
"Morning Harry,-" Fred said.
"Hermione,-"
"Ron."
"What's for breakfast?" The Weasley twins said sitting at the table in their usual spots.
"Pancakes dears." Mrs. Weasley responded. "How'd you sleep? Are you hungry?
"Great. Famished."
Mrs.Weasley set a plate full of pancakes in front of Fred and George. "Is Ginny still asleep?
"Nah. She's in the shower."
Hermione finished eating and got up to put her plate in the sink but while she, quickly, looked over to Mrs.Weasley and looked back at her plate it had somehow vanished. Or so she thought. Hermione looked over at the twins to see George holding his wand out and Fred laughing, soon joined by Ron and Harry.
"You know just because you can do magic outside of school now doesn't mean you need to do it every minute of your life!" Hermione yelled at the immature twins. And she turned and glared at Harry and Ron.
"Oh come on now Hermione. We're just having a bit 'o' fun with yeh!" Fred laughed.
George slowly guided the plate to the sink and continued to eat.
Hermione walked out of the kitchen and back to the living room to check on her siblings.
"Jeesh. What's her problem." George asked to no one in particular. Everyone at the table laughed besides Harry. He knew what was her problem, but didn't want to say..
"What's wrong with Hermione?" A familiar voice said in the door way. "And when did she get here? Oh hiya Harry."
"Morning Ginny." Harry said getting up to help Hermione is she needed it.
Hermione walked into the living room to find Devrik already up and looking around, and waking the twins. "Morning." She said to him. "Sleep well?"
Devrik looked at her confused. "Where are we?"
"We are at the Weasleys. Are you hungry?"
"Starved." He said longing for food. Lately Hermione noticed that he has been eating more and more, he reminded her of Ron. 'He must be going through a growth spurt.' She laughed.
"Okay. Wake up Leesil." She told him.
Hermione walked over to Latisha and shook her should lightly. "Latisha? Wake up. It's time for breakfast."
Latisha mumbled something Hermione couldn't understand and opened her eyes.
Hermione picked Latisha up and held onto Leesils hand while Devrik followed Hermione into the kitchen where they found 3 red haired kids sitting at the table, Ron, and an older Red haired Lady putting pancakes on a plate. "Where's Harry?" Hermione asked anyone that would answer, as she set Latisha on her feet. "Latisha, Lessil, Devrik, this is Ginny, she goes to school with me and is a grade younger. And these boys," She pointed at the Weasley twins, "Are Fred and George. Everyone these are my brothers and sister."
"Hermione?" Ginny asked. "You never told me you had siblings." Ginny Weasley said smiling at the younger kids.
"I wasn't allowed to. My parents thought it better to say I was an only child. Don't ask me why, cause I don't know that one." She laughed a little to herself.
Mrs.Weasley walked up to Hermione's little siblings and smiled at them. She was trying very hard not to scare them and not to hug them with her great bear hugs she gave Hermione and harry. "Hello. Are you hungry, dears?" she said to them. She didn't wait for an answer she just told them to have a seat and went back to the kitchen to get them each a plate of pancakes.
Hermione directed each of them where to sit and she sat down next to Latisha and Devrik. She sat and talked to Ginny while she waited for her siblings to finish eating so she could show them the rest of the house, knowing that they won't really need to know where everything was here because they would be going to sirius' house tomorrow.
When everyone finished eating Hermione took her brothers and sister up stairs where she showed them where the bathroom was and where they could change or something. And then she told them about harry's godfather's house.
Hermione brought them back to the living room and let them do want they wanted. Hermione was still wondering where harry was, seeing as she didn't see them during her tour and he wasn't with ron. 'He must be outside' she thought.
Hermione walked out the back door and walked around the outside until she spotted him sitting by the Weasley's garden fence and looking up at the sky. He didn't notice her until she ws about five feet away and she said, "hi Harry."
"Hey 'Mione" He replied lazily. "Is something wrong?" he said sitting up looking at her face.
"No, I was just looking for you, wondering if something was bugging you." She stifled a small giggle. Harry smiled at her for caring. "Is there?" She sat down next to him.
"No. I'm just thinking about this year in school. And what is going to happen in the future."
"Ahh." Hermione didn't know what to say about that. She knew he was thinking about Sirius. "Harry, Are you thinking about Sirius?" She questioned slowly, for fear of him bursting with madness.
Harry didn't answer for a while, "Yeah." He said in a sad voice.
Hermione wanted to hug him and tell him everything will be alright, but she knew soon it would get worse after it got better.
"I was so happy the day I found out Sirius wasn't the one who killed my parents and was the only family I had on this earth, now I truly am an orphan."
"You still have friends Harry, and the Weasley's can be close enough to call family." Hermione inched a little further towards Harry and put her arm on his shoulder.
Harry looked up at Hermione with tears in his eyes longing to fall from his cheeks. Hermione couldn't take it anymore she hated seeing her best frined in pain, She pulled harry into a small hug.
