Unnecessary Stress

Hey everyone, sorry about the really long wait. This chapter is dedicated to . because this was the first thing they reviewed and they gave me some great ideas, this being one of them (:

A massive thankyou to L-U-N-A654 who also reviewed :)

Now people, this is in sixty peoples favourites and fifty five peoples alerts, the last chapter got two reviews, now I am ever so grateful for those reviews but maybe for this chapter I could get a few more ? please :)

''Look were doing it so just hurry up.'' I called pointedly to Harry who was still inside the house.

''Why.'' He moaned. ''You don't need to learn''

''Yes I do; besides I don't care what you think if you can do it I'm doing it.'' I said leaning against the car as he stood in the door way glaring at me.

''We don't both need to do know how.''

''What if you're at work and I want to take the kids somewhere, then what?''

''The flu network?''

''What if it's a place where it's not connected.'' I countered grinning.

''Where are you going to go that's not connected to the flu network?''

''A park, or somewhere else muggle.''

''What park is so far away that you can't walk there?'' Harry said raising his eyebrows at me.

I faltered slightly, he did have a point. ''That doesn't matter, I'm learning anyway. Come on.'' I said getting in to our very rarely used car.

Harry sighed and joined me, getting in to the passenger seat scowling.

''You don't have to teach me, I'm perfectly happy with a normal muggle teacher.''

''No I can do it.'' He said glaring at the dash board as if it had caused him a great personal wrong.

''Fine, come on then what's first.''

An hour later we hadn't made much progress in fact we were still in the drive, which wasn't my fault, it was Harrys.

''Look.'' My tense husband said trying to stay calm. ''You pull the gear stick back and push down gently on the acceleration, it's not hard.''

''I know.'' I muttered tightening my grip in the gear thing, pulling it towards me and pressing down on the acceleration pedal. The car tyres spun on the ground creating lots of smoke but the car didn't move it just screeched.

''Very cleaver Mr-its-not-hard what was that supposed to achieve?''

Harry who had his eyes closed and was taking deep breaths looked at me. ''You're supposed to take your foot off the brake, how do you expect to move when your still braking.''

''Well you didn't tell me that did you.'' I said glaring at him.

''I thought it would just be common sense.'' He said scowling. ''Look why don't I just get us out of the drive way, then you can try on the road, it might be easier.'' He finished although he didn't sound very hopeful.

''Fine.'' I muttered opening the door to swap sides.

''Okay.'' Harry said when we were on the quiet road outside our house and had swapped sides again. ''Let's try again.'' His voice was one of a parent trying not shout at a small child and I couldn't help but laugh slightly.

''Thank goodness we left the kids at Ron and Hermione's, I don't think they would lower your stress levels.'' I said laughing at Harrys face.

''I'm not stressed.'' He said. ''I just don't want to die in a car accident, and that's becoming more and more likely.''

It was my turn to scowl, honestly you'd think he had more faith in me than that, I had given birth to three of his children and played professional quidditch. ''For the head of the Auror department your scared very easily.'' I countered smiling.

''You know half of the Ministry is scared of you after the last time you came to see me.'' He muttered changing the subject.

''Look that wasn't my fault I was in a bad mood.'' I said glaring at his amused face.

''Yeah I think half of London realised you were in a bad mood.''

''Look let's just do this shall we.'' I said taking hold of the steering wheel determined to learn.

''Okay, right we'll just go forwards, that's easy even you can do it.'' Harry said.

''Yeah I can see you believe that.'' I muttered as I watched him grip the sides of his seat.

''Well you haven't proven to be the most reliable driver. Okay first press down gently on the acceleration without pressing on any other pedal and just go forwards.'' He said as if wondering how many things could go wrong.

''Okay.'' I said as I positioning my feet on the pedals carefully. ''Right.''

I pressed down on the pedal, possibly with slightly more force than was necessary because the car shot forwards, Harry swore loudly and I crashed in to a lamp post.

''I SAID GENTLY.'' Harry yelled as I peered through the window to see how much damage I had done to the car.

''That was gentle.'' I said indigently. ''It's not my fault the car doesn't like me.''

''Oh so now it's the cars fault.'' Harry muttered glaring at me.

''Yes it's the cars fault. Now how do we get it off the lamp post?'' I said looking at Harry for an answer, he just scowled.

Three hours later we were to be found on a quiet, very small country road, only slightly lost as Harry put, it in a very battered car. I had mastered going backwards and forwards at varying speeds that I could only sometimes control and crashed several times trying to turn eventually managing it and ended up here.

''I'm bored.'' I stated to my husband who had his head on the dash board in the style of a man who was verging on suicide.

''At least your still alive.'' He said looking up at me.

''Look if I hadn't of gone in to that last tree the cat would have died.'' I said defensively.

''The cat would have moved, you were ages away from it.'' Harry muttered.

''Look I am going to learn this, even if it takes all night.''

''That's optimistic.'' Harry said dodging out of the way of my hand. ''Okay.'' He said let's get on to the main road and try parking.''

''Right.'' I said pushing my foot down as we drove rather fast down the small road.

''STOP!'' Harry cried just before we came out on to the main road and hit a number of other cars.

''I have.'' I muttered. ''When are they all going to move for me.''

''They don't move for you just wait until they let you out or there are no other cars there.'' Harry said.

We waited for a couple of minutes before there was a space that Harry deemed big enough; when there were no cars left coming down the road.

I managed, without doing any serious harm to anyone, to get them on to the main road, unfortunately because of Harrys bad teaching I hadn't quite grasped the concept of speed limits, or for that matter speed. At this point two things could happened, either, Harry could have realised that he was a bad teacher and stopped me from pressing my foot down, which probably would have been the safest option, or he could he could close his eyes and pray that nothing would go wrong, which is what he did, see he is a terrible teacher.

The next few minutes happened in quick succession, my foot pressed down hard on the acceleration pedal. The battered car flew forwards. Harry swore, I swore. The sirens of a waiting official car, which had been sat at the side of the road waiting for something like this, stared up. Harry swore again. I jumped, stupid sirens, the steering wheel spun under my grip. We crashed in to a stationary car at the side of the road.

''Shit.'' I murmured as Harry glared at me and the official car pulled up beside us.

''You know.'' I said from inside the police cell, after explaining to the officer why I had crashed the car and consequently how it wasn't I fault. ''I don't think I want to drive, I mean where am I going to take the kids that we can't flu to, it's unnecessary really.''

Harry who was sitting on the other side of the cell glared at me. ''I can just see the Prophets next headline 'Harry Potter, arrested my muggle police man for speeding' Kinsley's going to kill me.''

I laughed slightly, this was true. ''Don't worry; they said they weren't going to do anything, we just get a warning. Besides look on the bright side, at least the kids weren't with us.''

Harry continued to glare at me but before he could reply a police officer came to the door opening it and looking at us with raised eyebrows. ''Your free to go.'' He said eyeing me sternly. ''But I don't think you should be getting back in a car any time soon.'' He looked pointedly at me and I opened my mouth angrily, but before I could explain how if I wanted to I was perfectly capable of driving Harry clapped his hand over my mouth. ''Don't worry, she won't be.''

Hope you liked it :) review please :D
