Ron's POV:

"Ron! Ronald, wake up!"

I grunted. Really, why did Hermione have to wake me up just when I was about to be awarded the Quidditch World Cup? My dreams were so good.

"Ron, I know you're awake, now get up! Breakfast's ready!"

Breakfast? 

"It's a Saturday," I moaned into my pillow. 

"Ronald Weasley, you are an Auror. As an Auror you have to stay vigilant," said Hermione. I could sense that she put her hands on her hips and was now staring at me. "You sound like Moody," I mumbled. "Ok, Ron, I'm going to stay here until you get up. Rose and Hugo haven't had their breakfast yet, and they will, only when you get up."

Well, I knew she wasn't lying. The first time she had done that, the kids had gone super cranky because they didn't have breakfast till 2 in the afternoon.

I slowly sat up and opened my eyes, almost closing them again cause I was getting blind by the sunlight. I shielded my eyes and stumbled into the bathroom.

"Good," said Hermione. "Meet us in the dining room in ten minutes."

I walked into the dining room, where I saw Rose and Hugo munching into some pancakes. "Mum, these are so good!" Hugo exclaimed. "Thanks, Hugo," said Hermione, ruffling his hair. "Grandma Weasley taught me." 

"Speaking of Grandma Weasley," said Hermione, setting down my plate of pancakes on the table, "We're going to the Burrow tomorrow." "But I thought we were going to Diagon Alley tomorrow," said Rose. "Your letter hasn't arrived yet," I reminded her. "Yeah, but, er, we can just browse," Rose insisted. "Really?" I said. "Last time we 'browsed', we almost bought half of Flourish and Blotts." Rose grinned sheepishly.

"So, what are your plans for today?" Hermione asked. "I have a day off at the Ministry."

"Roxanne and I are going to Albus's," said Rose. "Is that okay?" "Sure," I told her. "You haven't seen him in a while. What about you, Hugo?" 

"Can I go to the Potters too?" asked Hugo. "Me and Lily haven't talked in a while either." "Okay," said Hermione. "Ron?"

"Eh, I don't know, if I don't have any missions or duties from the Auror Department, I'll probably just sit around and play self wizard chess in the kitchen," I replied.

"Typical Dad," said Rose. Hugo snorted.

"Angelina, Ginny and I are going shopping in Muggle London," said Hermione. "I'll come pick you both up in the evening." 

"Ron!" yelled a voice coming from my pocket. I pulled out the mirror Sirius had given Harry back when we were teenagers. Hermione had done some tinkering and had split the mirror into equal parts so the whole Weasley-Potter family each had one. 

Harry's panicked face appeared on the mirror. "What's up, mate?" I asked him. "I just got a message from Kingsley," replied Harry. "There's been a mass breakout from Azkaban."

"We sure have a lot of them since Sirius started it," I muttered.

"A mass breakout?" Hermione shrieked. 

"Yes," said Harry from the mirror. "Including Lucius Malfoy and Dolores Umbridge."

"Not Umbridge!" I shouted. 

"Here's your mission," said Harry. "Several Death Eaters have been spotted in Muggle London. They're planning to make a mass murder of Muggles. I need you and other Aurors to stop them. I'm coming too."
