After a War ((Old Copy))

Chapter 6 Book 2

The Wanderers

Wednesday morning.

Hermione had fallen asleep with a book in her lap. She had curled up in her chair with books around her on the floor and a few on her. She hadn't slept well in a long time. She blinked her eyes open slowly and looked around.

"Finally your awake! We figured it out! We talked to Snape and he was already fixing it before we were even there! Draco wants to see you!" Pansy yelled as she grabbed Hermione's arm and dragged her along.

"Pansy! I haven't even brushed my hair!" Hermione yelled.

"You have a wand!" Pansy yelled. Hermione almost crashed into a wall when Pansy made a sharp turn.

"Pansy! Slow down! Where are we going!?" Hermione yelled after Pansy almost disappeared from view. Hermione went around the corner, hoping her friend hadn't gone so far to where Hermione couldn't even see where she went. Hermione approached a open door and gasped as she was pulled inside. The door shut behind her. She looked around the room of requirement. It was the same common room it was when they had decided to play the truth or dare thing.

"Its nice to see everyone in the same room. But we've gathered today, for a surprise, for my brothers." Ginny said. Hermione smiled. Hermione pulled Fred out of the view of the door. They both peeked out from their hiding place as Harry and Ginny opened the door. Fred was shaking slightly next to her. Hermione tried to ignore it as Molly and Arthur walked in. The Weasley parents hugged all of their children, and everyone they knew. George introduced Maya, which almost made Hermione cry. George was so sweet. Then came the time for Hermione to bring Fred. While Arthur and Molly talked to Harry and Ginny, Hermione swapped Fred out with George. George was now hiding while Fred had his arm around Maya, leaning against the wall. Molly was the first to notice that George was pale.

"Arthur?" Molly called over her shoulder as she put her hand on Fred's cheek. He was ginning from ear to ear but he had tears in his eyes. Arthur looked at what he thought to be George. Ginny and Ron stood right next to their parents. George smirked and approached from behind. He snuck around to stand on the other side of Maya. He put his arm around her.

"Maya, you know you've got the wrong twin right?" George said as Molly and Arthur realized it. Fred couldn't hold back tears now, neither could anyone else.

"I knew what twin I had." Maya mumbled, she stood on her toes and kissed Fred's cheek purposely.

"Hey!? I really don't think you know which is which!" George yelled.

"I know who's who." Maya said.

"Prove it." George mumbled. Maya rolled her eyes, smirked and kissed him.

"Better?" Maya asked. He nodded. "I'm going to get us punch." Maya disappeared to find something to drink. Hermione just watched as the Weasley's stood together. Molly and Arthur refused to let go of Fred. Hermione backed against the wall and waited in the shadows. He was usually found in the shadows, separated from everyone else. Without looking she turned around and wrapped her arms around Draco.

"You'd think id be able to hide, but it is truly impossible." Draco mumbled as he returned the hug.

"Oh no its not. Its easy, there's plenty of places to hide. Your just not good at it." Hermione said, she looked back towards the Weasley's. "How long do you think Molly and Arthur will stay?"

"They've just seen their son for the first time in a month or so, and he was supposedly dead. I think they'll stay for a decent while if McGonagall lets them." Draco said, he walked over to where Harry and Ron were, which actually surprised Hermione. Draco had been quite scared of Ron now that they both remembered but it seemed they got along enough.

"Hey 'Mione, Draco." Harry greeted them and handed them both something to drink.

"We should do something, because we haven't in a while. I mean, we could bring everyone else too." Hermione said.

"What about Voldemort?" Ron asked. Hermione took a moment just to stare at him and think.

"We're going to have to do something about him eventually but, Hermione's right, we need to do something. Has anyone else noticed how depressed everyone is?" Harry asked. Hermione shook her head quickly.

"I was starting to feel depressed." Hermione said softly. Draco squeezed her hand.

"Then lets do something. Hermione can plan it." All three boys said at once. Hermione sighed.

"I really cant get you all to plan anything can I? I did get Draco to plan something once but that got me a dark mark, white hair and green eyes so that turned out well." Hermione paused and let Harry and Ron laugh. "Meet me-" Hermione whispered the rest to Harry. "And make sure you bring Draco and Ron but don't tell them where we're going." Hermione said. Harry nodded.

"Why cant we know?" Draco asked.

"Its a surprise." Hermione said. She smiled. Molly walked up. She wasn't crying anymore but her face was still wet.

"I didn't get to say hi when we first arrived dear." Molly said softly. Hermione stood up straight and hugged Molly tightly.

"How are you and Arthur?" Hermione asked softly.

"Oh fine, we've got the house all fixed up, the ministry helped us since we were attacked at the wedding." Molly said. She looked at Draco. "I hear news from Ginny that you are now with Hermione, hurt her, and feel the wrath of all the Weasley's, hear me boy?" Molly asked, she pointed a warning finger at Draco. Hermione almost burst out laughing.

"Yes ma'am." Draco mumbled.

"Don't mumble." Molly said as she walked towards Fred, or George. Draco waited until she was gone to speak.

"I think I'm sincerely scared of her." Draco mumbled.

"Don't mumble." Hermione snapped, then she couldn't help but laugh at his confused face.
