"Ginny" she said smiling. "Er.. I'm glad you're here" she said trying not to laugh as she got up and looked at her. "Harry frustrates people alot" she said hoping Harry didnt hear her.

Ron's face fell. He knew that Hermione wouldn't just spit out a solution, no strings attached. He would have to work fast. Glancing out the window to see his parents rambling up the front walk only hurried Ron, and he turned quickly toward Hermione.
"Because, er, you're my best friend! And because, well, because I am so stupid and I know that you're so brilliant!" Ron was hoping that flattery would work, although he wasn't sure. "Aw, come on Hermione!" Ron hurried, trying to get her help as quickly as he possibly could. "I really need your help, and you know you'll end up giving just that. Come on, I'll owe you one!" Ron stared Hermione, silently pleading as he heard his parents approach the door.

It wasn't as if Hermione was just going sit and watch Mrs Weasley tear Ron to shreds - she had had intentions of saving his hind either way, but watching him fret and squirm a bit never hurt. She grinned, 'I'll owe you one' was his usual fall back, she had seen it coming far before it even left his mouth. "Yes, of course you do." Hermione told him simply, standing up as Mrs Weasley and her husband opened the door, "..Well," Hermione turned to him sternly, "don't just sit there, go greet your mother, Ron." Hermione demanded, though there was a certain air to her that was reassuring. A tiny grin curled over her lips and she beckoned a hand to the front door. "Morning, Mrs Weasley - Mr Weasley." Hermione nodded courtesously, as the Weasley parents stepped into the threshold.
Ooc; Icky, icky <kicks post>[/color]

Harry sighed as Hermione refused to help them. "C'mon Hermione," he pleaded with her.His parents were now right outside the door conversing amongst themselves.He listened as Ron attempted to win her over with flattery.He didn't blame him;he would be freaking out too if they were his parents. But they weren't.Harry looked down at the thought of his parents,and then the Riddle girl came into his mind.She mentioned that Voldemort had killed her family.He shot the thoughts of of his mind.He didn't want to think about that now.
Mr. and Mrs. Weasley had stepped through the door and Ron had earned his help from Hermione by begging.Harry smiled when she told him to go greet his mother.She had a plan-he knew it. "G'morning Mr. and Mrs.Weasley," he said curteously after Hermione.

Ron stood up nervously from his chair to greet his parents, not quite sure what to say. They were giving him weird looks, and he could tell that they found his behavior to be strange, and were suspicious, if anything. He at first had been nervous that Hermione wouldn't help him out, but he had known her long enough to recognize the small smile that crept up on her lips and the air about her as sure signs that she would save him brilliantly, as always.
Ron turned toward his parents, both of whom, he could see, had very odd expressions indeed. "Morning, Mum, hi, Dad," he said as casually as he possibly could. "I guess you've both noticed that Harry's here," he continued, correctly deducing the looks on their faces, "and you're wondering how and why that is. That, I can explain. You see..."
But before Ron could spit out any kind of excuse, he broke out in an elaborate coughing fit, generating curious looks from his father and a very worried expression from his mother. "I'm *cough* okay, Mum, but I *wheeze* just think that *gasp* Hermione should take it from here." He shot her a wide-eyed expression, giving her the floor, anxious to hear her well-though out explanation.[/size]

Harry saw the awkward,questioning,and suspicious looks upon the Weasleys.He really couldn't blame them though,Harry was supposed to be arriving with them four hours later. He watched as Ron greeted his parents.The confusion in the room was so thick you could slice it with power-saw.When he heard his name mentioned he gave a small wave to signal yet another hello from his part.What took him by surprise was Ron offering to explain the whole situation.Just moments before he had been begging for her help and now he was willing to do it all by himself?He made sure not to show his puzzlement as Ron began coughing and hacking as though in some sort of fit.This time he did show confusion along with everyone else in the room. It all came together like the pieces of the puzzle as he turned the attention over to Hermione.-- But not before wheezing and gasping like a maniac,mind you.Harry hid his smile as he stepped to his friend's side. "Jeez,Ron-that cough sounds rather bad?Maybe you should sit down?" he suggested knowing it was the lamest thing anyone could come up with. Harry simply ignored Rianna as he had been doing as she said 'hello'.

Ginny sat at the table starting to laugh at Ron's pathetic attempt to get out of his current situation. The coughing just madde her laugh more. Then, remembering that Harry was there she looked at him then quickly looked back at her parents. She did her normal wide-eyed expression. She stared blankly a head or her and turned as white as a ghost.

Post by Fred and George Weasley on Aug 11, 2005 23:51:49 GMT -5
Fred and George walked back down the steps after putting Harry's trunk into the room he was staying in. " No George, We can't start shipping off our products yet. Once we get to Hogwarts, we can start selling" Fred argued with his twin. George tapped his shoulder and pointed at their mum and the twins shut up instantly. " Hello Mum, Dad" they said pausing to see a girl. " UH... who's that?" they asked togethor. This twins never showed much manners, and were able to speak what they thought. George shook his head and walked over to Harry. " Feel good to be back to a house crowded with people?" he smirked, ruffling Harry's hair for no apparant reason. Fred laughed. " Lay off him George, It's better than dealing with the pig of a cousin he has" he said.

"I'm RIanna."she said a slight smirk on her face. She stood up and reached her hand out for either one to shake. "Pleasure to meeet you,"she turned her head to glare at Harry but unseen she turned back to the twins. SOmething was now different. You could see a necklace a blue emerald cross, and gold boarder. This to ehr was her mark of love from her mother, given to her befor death.

Hermione watched, almost transfixed in horror, as Ron put on a sort of show for his parents; hacking and wheezing away like mad - she could have hit him, had it not looked suspicious for her to do so, so instead she quelled her expression as best she could into a concerned one, though not before quickly sending leering daggers in Ron's direction. "Yes Ron, do sit down..." Hermione assured, though slightly more grimly than she had intended it to come out, causing it to sound a bit like, "Ron, you had better sit down before I knock your teeth in.." Hermione turned back to the rather skeptical looking Mr and Mrs Weasley with the best smile she could muster and still be believabley genuine, "Must be the dandelions. Dreadful this time a year, aren't they?" Hermione shook her head empathetically, and in truth, they really were. The Weasleys' yard was nearly completely drowned in a sea of yellow and pollen hung in the air thickly. "Can I help you with the groceries, Mrs Weasley?" Hermione offered post-haste, taking a few bags from Mrs Weasley's hand, cheeks growing faintly pink. This wasn't going to be as easy as she had thought. The Weasley's were very likable people and easily Hermione's favorite wizarding family - not to mention Hermione had high respects for both parents and couldn't see how she could flat out lie to Mrs Weasley. Maybe she didn't have to lie, maybe she could just -- Hermione's mind worked frantically. Yes. That's what she would do. It wasn't an excellent plan, but it would suffice ... "So, you've seen Harry's here? Yes, he arrived a little before you've gotten here actually," she started casually, unpacking the eggs, with her back to the Weasley's ... making certain to hide her glowing cheeks, then started out in the same nonchalant voice, "He wasn't even being fed properly, you know. His cousin, Dudley, has been set in a diet. About time, too, I say. Unfortunately for Harry, that meant extra little food for him as well." Hermione fiddled with the the bag infront of her for a second and continued hesitantley, spinning around on the spot, "Oh, Mrs Weasley, please forgive me! When I heard that Dudley was hitting him I had to do something. I had to, Mrs Weasley!" Hermione cried out without warning, burrying her face into her hands, "It's horrible, how they treat him. I couldn't just sit and do nothing about it - who knows what those terrible people would've done! It's my fault, Mrs Weasley. I couldn't stand to see Ron in trouble for my doings." she sobbed dryly into her palms, and though no actual tears were shed, she sounded surprisingly believable.
'Oh, Ron is going to owe me so big...'
Ooc; Oh my gawd that was terrible ^^;;; Sorry, I coudn't think and I had to post something. I know how aggravated everyone was getting with me so I just wrote down whatever came to mind. xD Hee ... sorry[/color]

Thought she didnt look like it, Ginny was about to scream. She was enraged. 'No,no,no,no,no Ron cannot get away with this!!!' she thought. She couldnt believe Hermione!!! 'No, no, no!!!' kept running through her mind. 'This cannot be happening' she thought. She was about to explode, though outside she just looked as though she was oddly deep in thought. The fake coughing and weezing. Hermione lying to her parents and cry, and of course Harry watching this unfold. This was just enough excitment for her. She wanted to get up and run away but she just sat almost frozen in her seat at the breakfast table.

Ron sank into his chair, his face silent as he anticipated what Hermione would do. He had no idea. He listened quietly as Hermione explained his cough away as allergies, and offered to help with the groceries in order to get on his mum's good side. She really is brilliant, he though admiringly, knowing that it took the Weasley children years to figure out how to get things past their mother. Hermione acted as though she had known Mrs. Weasley all her life.
As Hermione began to explain about Dudley, something which was mostly true, Ron had his doubts. How is this going to get me out of trouble? he asked himself quite nervously. But when Hermione burst out in tears and buried her face in her hands, Ron's eyes widened in shock. He never would have thought that she would do that! Put her own neck out there? But Ron knew that Hermione was every bit as genius as everyone said; Mrs. Weasley would not be so angry at Hermione, as she was not her kin.
But as Hermione body was wracked with 'sobs', Ron shuddered, knowing that Hermione really would require full payment to make up for what she had to do. But what could he say? She had saved his butt in there...[/size]

"Yeah," he said in repsonse to the twins as they came downstairs just in the nick of time. Harry sat down in the chair next to Ron.Hermione looked enraged and deadly.He shot Ron a sideways glance and looked back at Hermione,ready to hear her brilliant plan.She seemed to be stalling which was so unlike her. 'Can I help you with the groceries, Mrs Weasley?' Then she began explaining how the Dursleys were torturing Harry with lack of food but then something unexpected happend.She whirled around and began speaking in an outburst.Dudley...hitting him??He used to but not anymore.His eyes widened at her sob story of how she couldn't stand it and she didn't want Ron punished for her misdeed. 'Wow..' he thought.This was impressive even for her.Then it sounded as if she were...crying.Again-this highly impressed Harry. Ron...and Harry owed Hermione big time for risking herself to Mrs.Weasley.
