Who: Weasleys, Potters and a Granger
When: Friday night (foredated to tomorrow)
Where: The Burrow
What: Dinner!

It was a standing invitation. Every Friday Mr. and Mrs. Weasley would host a family dinner at The Burrow. Hermione and Harry, though not technically Weasleys, were always invited. Of course Harry was, being an in-law, but Hermione thought herself incredibly lucky and honored to be included in the Weasley Family gatherings. Especially because she and Ron weren't... well...

Hermione showed up to The Burrow after work on Friday, a little earlier than usual, so that she could offer Mrs. Weasley some help getting ready for dinner. When she arrived, however, Mrs. Weasley ushered her into the living room and forced her to sit down. Apparently, dinner was nearly finished, anyway, and Mrs. Weasley didn't want Hermione working.

Hermione settled into her chair with a glass of pumpkin juice and turned to stare out the window. It felt good to be in The Burrow again.

	"Easy for you to say now. He came to my flat and called me irresponsible!" whined Ron. "I didn't think it mattered what I do at home, but he's got me second-guessing everything." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, you certainly can't bring Hermione back to your flat to shag her of there's pizza on the floor," George chimed in, feeling safe to come back into the conversation now that the scary Harry yelling at stopped. Harry felt his face go hot. He didn't need to think of Hermione like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ron turned bright red too. "This is what passes for help around here," he said to Harry. "You see?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hermione had gone outside after her talk with Percy, looking for the boys. She had a beer in hand, thankful for it, since the night was making her blush worse and worse as time went by. She heard George mention her name, and the word 'shag,' and she saw Harry and Ron standing there. Her face went scarlet as she headed in their direction. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry glanced back over his shoulder and made a little oddly high, shocked noise. George looked up quickly. "Oh, hi Hermione. We were just discussing you. Oh look, I hear something yummy in the kitchen." And George took off for the back door. "Coming Ginny!" Harry called. He took George's cue and ran inside, leaving Ron and Hermione alone.

Ron gasped when he noticed Hermione and he blushed an even deeper shade of red, glaring at George. "Shut up right now," he warned his brother in a low voice. "Nothing else about shagging, do you hear me?"

Then, in his louder, regular voice, he said, "Hermione! Hey!" He put a smile on his face and went over to her, proving to Harry and himself that he could and would do this.

	Hermione watched Harry and George slink off, and went a little more pink. She gave Ron a bright smile. "Hello. Are you... I suppose you're finished talking now?" She asked, glancing from Ron to Harry--who was now closing the kitchen door behind himself--and back again. "I thought I'd come and see what you were up to." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh," Ron said, nodding. "Well, that's good. I was just listening to Harry and George talking about... you know, Harry things and George things." He smiled, shrugging. "I heard you were chatting with Percy, how was that?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It was fine, you know." Hermione shrugged softly. "He wanted to talk about you." She blushed a little, and a smirk crossed her lips. "I made him dig for information." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Bloody hell," said Ron. "I've got too many brothers is what I've got," he said. It was the kind of comment that inevitable made him think of Fred, and he paused for a moment before continuing. There would always be too few in the Weasley family, he knew that as well as anyone, second only to George in his knowledge of that empty, Fred-shaped space. "Percy stopped by my flat the other day, too, with a list of reasons why I'm just the worst man in the world. He even tried to put away my laundry."

Hermione thought of Fred, too. That horrible explosion in the castle... seeing Fred's unseeing eyes staring up at Percy and Ron, who clung to their brother's body... it was a horrible thought and she had to close her eyes and shake her head to rid herself of it. If she never thought about that night again, it'd be too soon.

The bad parts of that night, anyway. There were good parts.

She forced a soft laugh. "Did you let him? I would have let him. Get some free labor out of his molly-coddling."

	"Molly coddling," Ron laughed. "Like Mum." And then he shook his head. "No, I didn't let him. I was annoyed. His brotherly advice didn't do much for my self-esteem." He grinned, kicking at the ground just to have something to do. "What did he tell you?" he asked. "He didn't warn you to stay away from me or some stupid thing like that, did he?"

	Hermione opened her mouth to respond, but then blushed. "No, actually." She said after a moment of trying to figure out what to say. "The opposite, actually." The words came back to her and made her blush further. "He... he asked if I was going to take your name." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ron blushed the deepest shade of red he had ever managed in his life. "What?" he said, as though he hadn't the words properly. "Merlin, Percy," he muttered. "First he's telling me I'm incapable of one date, now he's got us married off," he said shaking his head. "I don't know what gets into my brothers, I swear." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2009-08-25 03:26 am UTC (link)
	"With children," Hermione added. "I think he wants the Weasley line to multiply, or something." She was nearly as red as Ron was. "It's all right. I'm not worried about it. We don't need to fuss over what they think." She was trying to will her cheeks to lose their pink. It probably wasn't working. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_roonilwaz163 2009-08-25 03:28 am UTC (link)
	"I am sorry, Hermione," Ron said. "Bloody Harry and Ginny and getting married before us." His mouth went dry. "I mean, you know, before and before me...oh, hell." He sighed. "How many children does he want us to have after one proper date, exactly? I'd like to go hex him right now, I would." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I told him I wasn't going to have as many children as your Mum." Hermione said, shaking her head. His babbling wasn't doing much for her trying to rid her face of the pink. Had he really thought about the two of them married?

"I think Harry wants to marry us off, too." She said, turning to throw a glance at the house. She imagined Harry, George, and Percy in the kitchen right now. Probably using extendable ears to listen to them.

	"Harry?" Ron said. "Really? You think he thinks about that?" Ron shrugged. "I figured he's so caught up being married himself, he doesn't quite notice the rest of us, you know?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hermione shook her head. "He's the one who told me to bid on you. Offered to back me financially if I needed it. I think he's desperate for us to start dating or something, so he won't feel like he and Ginny jumped the gun." Muggle expression. Did he know what it meant?

"Anyway, let's not talk about them anymore." She reached forward and took his hand. "Do you have a broomstick here? Maybe we could... go for a fly tonight?" She went a little pink, and was glad it was dark out.

"Well, yeah, true," Ron said. "He was sort of on my case about it, too, but I didn't think he was suddenly all about marriage!" Jumped the gun, thought Ron. He had an idea that a gun was a Muggle weapon, but couldn't quite figure out why a person would jump it, though he had heard the phrase in passing. He decided not to ask, and just moved on to the next topic, which was a million times more important.

"Oh, yeah, sure," he said with a big smile. "I keep a broom here. Nice night for it, too." He glanced at Hermione. "You're sure you're up for it?"

Hermione wasn't sure if Harry wanted them married, or if he just wanted them dating. Either way, Hermione imagined it might be fun to double date with Harry and Ginny. Or would that feel awkward for Ron? She didn't know.

"So long as you won't let me fall." She said, smiling shyly. She wasn't sure why she was feeling shy all of a sudden. It was her idea to fly tonight, wasn't it?

	"Never," Ron said. "I'll hold on tight, I promise." He smiled shyly, but managed not to dissolve into awkward nervousness too quickly. He wanted to do this. He wanted to take Hermione flying right here, in the backyard at the Burrow, under the stars. And therefore, he would. "Shall I get the broom then?" he asked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2009-08-27 03:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes, please." Hermione responded, nodding. She could feel butterflies in her stomach, nervous about being up so high and being cuddled so close against him. "I'll wait for you here?" She said. It was more a statement than a question, but it was still stuck somewhere between the two. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ron nodded. "I'll be right back," he said, then went off toward the shed where he'd left a broomstick. A moment later, he was back, grinning broadly and motioning for Hermione to step in closer to him. "Here it is," he said. "Are you ready for this?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	her_my_nee 2009-08-30 02:13 am UTC (link)
	Hermione stepped closer. "Oh, yes." Hermione said, giving him a smile and a nod. She was definitely ready. "Do I need to do anything?" She asked. She hadn't been flying in so long, she'd nearly forgotten her lessons. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
