A/N: I'm so sorry guys! I know it's been forever since the last update and frankly, it feels like it. I had no idea my life would become this crazy, but alas it has! I'm putting off two projects to do this right now so I hope this chapter was worth the wait and doesn't suck due to the long absence of writing.

PS- Here's a fun fact that really has no relevance at all but I'm gonna say it anyway, my dorm is haunted! Crazy stuff keeps going down, alarm clocks going off every single hour for no reason, I keep hearing what sounds like a girl humming around my bed, usually when I'm trying to go to sleep…A girl committed suicide on the third floor of the building and apparently she likes to get up to shenanigans… Anyway- back to the story!

Chapter 11

Just as the next video had begun, George clutched his pocket watch in a death grip and shrieked "The shop!"

He had left his shop unattended for more than half an hour with the doors unlocked. If his shop were say, a bookshop, or a hattery, this would not be the end of the world, but Weasley's Wizard Wheezes was as popular as it ever was and besides the customers, the items for sale had to be watched as well. Stock was known to walk off the shelves and explosions were common.

As everyone else said their goodbyes to George, Hermione turned to Ron and scolded "You didn't even give him enough time to close up his shop?"

Ron's cheeks reddened a bit and he scratched his neck nervously, mumbling "It didn't seem top priority at the time…" His wife's eyes went skyward.

HARRY: "Hey Ron."

RON: "Hey, what's up dude- how's it goin'? Have you seen Hermione anywhere?"

HARRY: "No I haven't. Why?"

RON: "Nothing, nothing, it's just you know, I heard Parvati Patil telling Padma Patil that she had seen Hermione in the girl's locker room before just crying her eyes out in the bathroom stall..."

Everyone, including Malfoy, turned to Hermione questioningly.

Hermione gave them her patented 'Do-I-Really-Have-to-Explain-Everything-to-Everyone?' face and followed it with"I was just insulted by my best friends in the whole world not to mention the guy I've had a crush on forever and you all don't expect me to be the least bit sad about that? My heart's not made of stone you know."

The rest of the room seemed a bit chastened by this. Ron pulled his wife into a fierce hug in a nonverbal "I'm Sorry".

HARRY: "Lame!"

Ginny gave her sheepish husband a look and muttered "Hermione's heart may not be made of stone, but it seems as if Harry's is…"

Harry's face fell and Ginny smiled in a teasing way. "You know I don't mean it." She whispered and he nodded.

RON: "Yeah I know, isn't that like the saddest thing you've ever heard? I mean, I don't know, it's just inevitable that one day Hermione would realize that no guy would like her."

Only a faint huff was all that could be heard from under Ron's death grip on his wife. He was making little shushing noises and cooing softly to her in a panicked sort of way.

HARRY: "Yeah."

RON: "Because of her obnoxious personality, ugly face, and misshapen body, but you know, it's just- I don't know, she could at least get in one night of happiness before she realized she would be growing old alone, you know?"

The rest of the room was laughing at Ron's predicament as Ron turned to his video replica with a look that screamed 'Shut up now!'

Malfoy's laughter transitioned into groaning as his character flounced onto the screen.

DRACO: "Hey, you two over here talking about Granger?"

HARRY: "Malfoy get out of here, it's none of your business. Why don't you go dance with Pansy?"

Pansy appeared.

DRACO: "Hey, go get me some punch."

PANSY: "Okay…wait I should tell you there's Squirt in it."

DRACO: "Squirt? Oh never mind, I'll stay dehydrated…Go- go powder your nose or something…"

PANSY: "I-I just fixed my makeup a little while ago…"

DRACO: "Trust me, you need more powder…"

"Smooth Malfoy…real smooth…" mocked Ginny and Malfoy sneered at her.

"Pain in the arse, right?"

"Finally, something we agree on!" Malfoy exclaimed with an accompanying eye roll.

Harry and Ron raised their eyebrows at this and Harry asked, "You didn't like Pansy?" Malfoy shook his head vehemently.

There was a chorus of "Really?" from the older crowd excluding Dudley, who seemed to be thinking about a dumb it was to name a kid Pansy. Good thing his parents had had the forethought to give him a nice strong name like Dudley.

Ron said "We all thought she was your girlfriend."

"No, she was just obsessed with me. She was useful in that she would do whatever I asked of her. She was a pawn, nothing more…" Malfoy went back to watching the film while many in the room felt a brief feeling of pity for Pansy.

"So anyway…noticed Granger's not around here…probably for the better too, no one will be able to keep their hummus and peach chips down with that ugly mug of hers darting about."

The Potter children all joined in a chorus of "Oooh…" And the adults all turned to peek at the chilling pits of brown that could be seen through the Ron's stranglehold on Hermione.

Malfoy was in hysterics, grey eyes filled with tears and clutching a stitch in his side. Maybe his character wasn't so bad…

RON: "Malfoy why don't you just give her a break for once, okay Malfoy?"

DRACO: "Why defending her Weasley? Have a crush?"

RON: "No! No- why all the insults Malfoy? Covering up a crush?"

HARRY: "Yeah!"

DRACO: "Oh- right- right! Like I could ever have a crush on that stupid-"

CHO: "Oh my Gosh- she looks beautiful, bless her heart!"

Hermione's character entered the scene looking lovely.

Ginny sighed, "Aww Hermione…" and Lily shouted "You look beautiful Aunt Hermione!"

There was a muffled thanks in response. Ron kissed the tiny bit of his wife forehead that he could see.

The spotlight found itself on Ron, and he cringed slightly moaning "Oh boy."

RON:
"Here I am face to face
with a situation
I never ever thought I'd see

strange how a dress
can take a mess
and make her nothing less than
beautiful to me

The girls all cooed at the couple on the sofa. Hermione was now free of her captor as Ron had tried to sink as far back into the love seat as was possible and she was taking the opportunity to grin and giggle at him.

I feel like my eyes have been transfigured
something deep inside has changed
they've been open wide, but hold that trigger
this could mean Danger

I'm falling in love, falling in love, falling in love
I could be falling in love, falling in love, falling in love
with Hermione Granger"

Hermione had begun tickling her husband and he was squirming and laughing through shouts of "No! Stop! Don't!"

The spotlight turned to Draco and Malfoy blanched. "No, this is not happening."

DRACO:
"WHAT? what the hell is this?
YOU expect me to sing about her?
don't care about her

it's just a little makeup
Draco, Wake up
I'm mistaken

she- is the hottest girl I've ever seen
now- because she's like a girl I've never seen
don't know why- I'd ever be so mean, this could mean DANGER!

The room burst out into laughter as Malfoy's face seemed frozen in a mask of mingled disbelief and horror. It seemed that there was a thing that the man feared more than a returned Voldemort; himself singing a love ballad about Hermione Granger in front of all his childhood enemies and their children.

Shaking with laughter, Hermione grabbed a camera off of a nearby shelf and snapped a picture muttering something about Kodak moments.

I'm falling in love, falling in love, falling in love
I could be falling in love, falling in love, falling in love
With Hermione Granger."

Malfoy was now in the fetal position; rocking back and forth frantically pulling at his hair with vigor. The video was now nearly impossible to hear over everyone' now hysterical laughter.

MALFOY & RON: "I WANNA LET HER KNOW..."
MALFOY: "I FEEL SO QUEASY"

Harry, James, and Albus were rolling on the floor in hysterics. Ginny was collapsed on arm of her end of the sofa snorting in to the cushion. Lily simply thought the song was sweet and swayed to the music.

MALFOY & RON: "BUT I CAN'T LET IT SHOW..."
RON: "SHE'D LAUGH, POOR WEASLEY

Hermione was staring transfixed at her husband and whispered "No I wouldn't have..."

COME ON RON"
DRACO:"DRACO"
TOGETHER: "You gotta let it go, you gotta let it go…"

MALFOY:
"WHAT? what the hell is this?
I want to sing about her
sing about her

I want to make up
granger, wake up
I've been mistaken

she- is the hottest girl I've ever seen
now- because she's like a girl I've never seen
don't know why- I'd ever be so mean, this could mean DANGER!"

Malfoy had pulled his fingers from his hair and move them in his ears and was now screeching a horrible melody he seemed to have come up with on the spot.

RON:
"Here I am face to face
with a situation
I never thought I'd see

strange how a dress
can take a mess
and make her nothing less than
beautiful to me

I feel like my eyes have been transfigured
something deep inside has changed
they've been open wide, but hold that trigger
this could mean Danger"

TOGETHER:
"I'm falling in love, falling in love, falling in love
I could be falling in love, falling in love, falling in love
With Hermione Granger.
With Hermione Granger.
With Hermione Granger.
DANGER!"

The Potter's all sang the last chorus together and held the last note for what seemed an eternity to the very much embarrassed Ron. Malfoy had disappeared and no one knew quite where he was or when he had left.

Hermione was flushed and grinning like a maniac and kept kissing her blushing husband with quick smacks on the lips.

"That was the best thing I have ever seen." Said James in awe.

Albus nodded adding, "Can we watch it again?"

The adults, knowing that they didn't have much time for rewatching if they were to finish the musical that day, said no.

James whispered to Albus, "Rose and Hugo have to see this."

Nodding fervently, Albus continued "Uncle George too."

A/N: So as you can see, I decided to leave out the younglings for now...Someone suggested that there would be far too many people to write about all at once and they were very much correct. I was having issues of keeping everyone in check and I kept forgetting that a few of the characters were even there just for the sheer number of people to be writing about and making reactions for. However, I plan on the children seeing this one as well because they just have to. Anyways, once again I am sorry about the long delay and I won't worry you guys with excuses just no how bad I feel for putting this off for so long. Hopefully updating soon! Please Review :)
