Hogwarts Express: Time Travel

LXVI. The hearing

LXVI. The hearing

The next morning, Annie, Ron and Hermione are greeted by Molly, Arthur and Remus as they descend down the stairs

Molly: [Smiling at Annie] Good morning dear, did you sleep well?

Annie: [Hand flying to touch her scar] No, my scar kept hurting

"That scar is starting to become a problem ain't it?"

"It's hurting more than it usually does" Narcissa nodded

Her answer caused Remus and Arthur to exchange uneasy glances.

Arthur: Probably just nerves....

Annie: [Unsure of it] Yeah... Nerves...

Molly: [Pulling her in a bear hug] Good luck Annie!

Hermione: [She snatches Annie into a tight hug the moment Mrs. Weasley let go] They'll have to you off... Annie. You were defending yourself! I checked the law

"Of course you did" laughed Sirius

"There you go little nerdy witch" Rabastan chuckled "I think I like her Rod"

Annie: [Nodding in appreciation] Thanks Hermione

Ron: [Frowning] What'd she get hugs for?

Cue to the chuckles at his petty behavior

"No need to pout Ronald. Jealousy is not a pretty trait on you" Fabian faked pouting to tease his nephew

"I wasn't jealous" he snapped

"Of course not, you just wanted to hug Annie" George winked

Hermione: [Coolly speaking] When you have to go to a disciplinary hearing at the ministry of magic, I'll hug you too

Ron: Oh, sure that's why...

Hermione: [Laughing] Ronald Weasley are you jealous?

Ron: [Panicking and looking at the smirking Ginny and Molly] Me? Jealous? Of course not! It's just doesn't seem fair hat's you hug one friend more than the other, is all.....

Hermione: [Stifling a snicker] Would you like a hug?

Ron: [Thrilled but wanting to tone it down] I'd hate to force you...

Cue to the loud laughter, even Ron laughed, himself thought that was pathetic

"You do have to admit that was rather petty" Hermione snickered

"Yeah, yeah whatever you say"

"Give him a break nerdy witch, he tried his best there" Gideon smiled

Annie glances at Hermione who had a fond smile on her face then snickers, knowing that these two are never going to change. She glances around and sees Fred coming up to them, hair wet, the water giving his ginger hair a darker shade, he looked good, there was no denying that, and it made her panic, she turned to Arthur and nodded at him

Arthur: Well come on, time to go then.

Annie: [Quickly walking away] Bye

George: [Laughing from behind his twin] Now that was harsh, tough luck mate

Fred: Oh shut up!

"Someone's having rough time getting his girl back" teased Evan

"He might want to hurry up"

As the two walked the not very crowded London street, Annie and Mr. Weasley hurry along the sidewalk to come to a Phone booth. Arthur looks around making sure than no one had followed them.
