A/N: Hello Everyone! I think I sorted everything out, when my computer crashed a few months back I got these files all mixed up when I recovered them. The daily updates with resume tomorrow. Please read and review.
Harry sighed as he tried to get his squirming godson into his coat. Mr. Weasley had gotten it into his head that the whole family should go to a muggle street fair. It was in Surry near where the Dursley's lived. Harry's relationship with his Aunt and Cousin had improved over the last couple years, but they were still very awkward with each other. Harry's main concern was running into Piers and his gang. Harry tried to put those thoughts behind him as he covered Teddy's turquoise hair with a hat. In the muggle world people always looked scandalized when they saw a toddler with blue hair.
Hermione gathered her belongings in a sensible bag she could drape over her body to keep her hands free. Hermione had never really seen the point of street fairs. The rides the junk food, none of it qualified as fun in her mind. Hermione smiled to herself, she would gladly go to a million street fairs as a Weasley. She looked down at her engagement ring and smiled again. She knew that for her and Harry especially inclusion into the Weasley clan meant a lot.
Arthur was buzzing around the house in anticipation. Percy and Audrey had arrived early of course and now Arthur was waiting for the rest of his family to wander in. Molly shot him a glare when she caught him glancing out of the window again. Arthur sighed audibly and then hid behind his Daily Prophet. After what seemed like forever to Arthur he had all of his children and grandchildren gathered and ready. This night was going to be fun Arthur was determined to give his kids a night to remember at the fair.
Harry shifter Teddy on his shoulders and watched as the Weasley men and Ginny rode the rollercoaster again. The first time around Hermione had held Teddy for him. But now Harry was scoping out the little kids rides trying to pick something Teddy would like. "What are you looking for Harry?"
Harry turned to face Hermione, "I was wondering which rides would be good for Teddy."
"I don't know he might be too young for most of them."
Fleur chimed in from where she was standing with Vic, "perhaps ze merry go round. I was going to take Victoire on zat one next."
"That sounds like a good idea."
Hermione nodded, "and you could ride with him in case he doesn't like it."
The Weasley family came rushing off the ride chattering a discussing how similar the ride was to flying in voices slightly too loud. Harry couldn't help but smile when he caught sight of Ginny cheeks red, hair windswept and smiling from ear to ear. She was the most beautiful person he'd ever seen. At that moment Teddy's toddler bladder decided to make an appearance. "Awwe, I have ta pee!"
"Okay buddy, try to hold it there's a bathroom over there."
Ron smiled at Hermione, "maybe you should go with him Hermione, it looks like Harry's going to need that spell you have to get pee out of fabric."
Hermione rolled her eyes at Ron, but followed after her brother prepared to magically remove pee from his collar again. That man would never learn his lesson, don't let a toddler who isn't potty trained sit on your shoulders. Hermione followed Harry and Teddy into the family restroom and helped Harry clean up the toddler. Teddy had just turned three and was still in the early stages of potty training. Once Teddy was dry and Harry's shirt collar no longer smelt like pee the two friends followed the excitable toddler back towards the Weasleys. Harry was so focused on keeping hold of Teddy he didn't see the hands pushing him towards the wall.
Hermione turned as she saw Harry knocked out of her line of sight and just managed to shoo Teddy to Ginny's waiting arms before she saw Evelyn Grouse, and her pack of she devils. Evelyn pushed Hermione back towards the wall and she suddenly felt ten years old again. "Well look who it is girls the beaver has come out of her dam for the spring.
Harry was well and truly stuck. He breathed a sigh of relief when Hermione got Teddy to Ginny safely, but he was confused by the pieces of conversation he was hearing from the women who had Hermione pinned against the wall. Harry was struggling to free himself from the clutches of the larger men when someone said, "what's happening here gents?"
Harry found himself pushed against the wall next to Hermione as the police men looked them over. Piers and the woman who had been tormenting Hermione stepped up. "They started it officers." Piers pointed at Hermione and Harry. The Weasleys who had been held back by Molly all burst out in protest. The officer silenced them and turned back to Piers, "who are you?"
"Piers Polkis sir and this is my girlfriend Evelyn Grouse. We were just enjoying the street fair when these two delinquents showed up."
The officer turned back to Harry and Hermione, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
Hermione spoke, "I'm Hermione Granger and this is Harry Potter, we were just here enjoying the street fair with our family." She pointed at the Weasleys who nodded in agreement.
"Tell me what happened."
Harry spoke this time, "We were coming back from the bathroom with my godson when they attacked us out of nowhere."
Piers spoke up again, "you can't believe a word he says when he was eleven his family had to ship him off to St. Brutis' school for incurably criminal boys."
Evelyn chimed in, "you can't believe anything she says either they had to ship her off to the school for the criminally insane after she tried to kill my friends and I."
The officer turned back to Harry and Hermione, "okay I'm going to need both of you to turn and face the wall, arms and legs spread."
As the two friends faced the wall Mrs. Weasley spoke up, "you can't do that they haven't done anything wrong."
The officer sighed, "Who are you Madame?"
Molly Weasley pulled herself up to her full height, "I am their mother-in-law. They haven't done anything wrong, you can't do this."
The officer tried to look patient, "This is routine Madame, I need to take them downtown. You all can come bail them out tomorrow morning."
Molly stepped back unsure of what any of that meant, "Where do we have to go to get them and why can't we come this evening?"
The office shook his head, "you can collect them from the surrey precinct tomorrow at eight when the office is open again."
Without further ado the officer had Harry and Hermione handcuffed and was pushing them into the back of a police car. Hermione looked at Harry in horror as the officer pulled away from their still shell shocked family. Harry tried to look reassuring; he knew why the officer had insisted on taking them in. Harry recognized him, he was the same officer the neighbors on Privet Drive had called on him as a kid. The woman of number seven had had him arrested several times for nicking papers from her bin. Of course he hadn't actually broken laws any of those times, but the Dursleys had asked the officer to hold him at the station for a few hours. They told him they were trying to break Harry of his criminal tendencies. That officer had taken one look at him today and had assumed the worst. Harry just felt bad Hermione had been caught in the cross fire.
Soon they were at the police station and they were processed. Harry swore under his breath when the officers took their wands, now they really were stuck for the night. Finally he and Hermione were lead into the holding cell. Harry's face broke into a smile when he saw who was sitting on the benches in front of him.
