'Why didn't you correct her?' Theo looked at his friend, who was still looking towards the door the pair had exited the shop from.
'Hmm?' Hermione was brought out of her thoughts by her friend's voice. 'What was that Theo?'
'I said, why didn't you correct that raging bitch?'
'Ugh, honestly, I just wanted her to leave. I really didn't feel like getting into a huge argument with her right now.'
They both looked up at the sound of the door chiming again.
"Darling!' A familiar red headed wizard made his way over to his spouse with a huge grin on his face.
'Don't you darling me, Weasley. I know where you've been and I will not come near you until you've emptied your pockets of everything that blasted brother of yours has put into them! I don't care if he lost his twin, he will not use your unsuspecting extended family for 'testing'!'
Ron harrumphed and made his way to the back of the shop to deposit all of the goodies George had given him this morning when he popped over to say hi. He returned with the same grin on his face and caught his husband in a warm embrace that became a little heated for Hermione, who coughed to remind them of her presence, and their location.
'If you two need some private time, I am sure I can handle things for a few hours.'
'Not on your life after that stunt you pulled not 30 minutes ago young lady! You will sit behind the till on your arse until we close!' Theo was staring daggers at the brunette, who was returning the stare as good as she got. She hated when he referred to her as young lady, he was literally days older that she. Their game of chicken was interrupted by her longtime friend.
'What stunt?' Ron looked between the two until Hermione turned to him with a slight blush on her cheeks.
'The daft bint climbed a ladder and proceeded to fall off of it!'
Ron was angry, Hermione could see the colour rise in his neck. She had the decency to look a little ashamed.
'You're a bloody witch Hermione! What in Merlin's name were you doing on a ladder, 6 months pregnant?'
'Theo was busy...' At her response Ron turned his glare to the taller man standing to his left.
'Don't give me that look, I told her to come out here and stock what she could, how was I to know she would get all muggle on me?'
All at once Ron realized that Theo had said Hermione fell off the ladder. His face softened as he turned to her.
'Hermione, sit down, are you hurt? Are you in pain? We should take you to St Mungos immediately.'
'Stop fussing over me now!' She could barely contain her ire, why did everyone think she was so fragile!
'Umm, well, she did fall, but Malfoy caught her.' Theo's sentence brought Ron's rage back ten fold.
'You let that snaky ferret touch her?'
'It was Lucius Ron, not Draco.' Hermione winced at the mention of his name. It was the first time in months anyone had dared say it in her presence.
'And Astoria.' She added.
'Bloody hell!' Ron had taken to pacing in front of the pair. 'That was quicker than I expected. But I suppose you took that into consideration before signing the deal.'
'How long do you think before she goes running to him to tattle?' Theo looked at Hermione directly.
'Why on earth would she want him to know Hermione is back in England?' Ron looked between the two a little confused. 'I thought she was delighted when you left for Italy right after, you know, everything?'
'Ah, yes, well, Hermione, maybe you should explain what Astoria would be so excited to tell the big D about?' Theo looked at her expectantly.
'Well that's probably because she thinks Theo here knocked me up and that we are married.' Hermione finished her sentence and ran to the office in the back before Ron could freak out. He took a few deep breaths and turned to his husband.
'Why on earth would Lucius and Astoria think you and Hermione were married?'
'Well after Lucius caught Hermione and put her down, I was comforting her. This is when Astoria came in looking for Lucius. She saw the ring Hermione wears and my ring, which happens to be very similar and put two and orange together and came out with a hippogriff.' Theo was hoping this didn't send Ron into one of his trademark rages. Not that he didn't love these rages; they were damn hot, but it would be completely unproductive at the moment.
Ron was quiet for a few moments as he took in Theo's words. 'I told you that bloody ring was too much like Hermione's!'
Theo was confused, was that really what Ron was focusing on in this current situation? Alright. He made his way closer to his husband and put his arms around his neck.
'And I told you I thought the ring she had picked out was beautiful, which was why you went and had them make it in a more manly size for me, my love.'
Just as they were headed for another heated embrace, the door banged open, overshadowing the gentle chime all together. Framed in the doorway was what Ron could only describe as a very angry looking snaky ferret on a warpath.
'Where is she?'
