Summary: what could possibly go wrong with ron washing the dishes.


It was two days after Bill and Fluer’s wedding that the Golden Trio set out on their hunt for the horcruxes. Hermione had talked her parents into letting them use the rental flat that they owned in London. Even though they had been friends for many years and had been in the same house at school this was a completely different experience for the friends. Not only were they on their own now but Harry and Hermione were finally dating.


Harry and Hermione would take turns cooking their meals since Ron still didn’t know how to work the oven correctly and kept burning all the food. Ron had offered to clear the table for them
.
“Oi guys, what should I do with this left over junk in the pan,” asked Ron as he was poking the noodle stuff with his finger.

“Stick it down the drain in the sink and that the garbage disposal will take care of it. Okay Ron and make sure you have the water running” Hermione said as she handed him the plates from the table. “If you need us we will be in the front room checking over the books we got from the Black library”

“Yeah well how hard can it be to wash the dishes, I got it go do your research, and cuddle with your boyfriend. Just try to keep the PDA to a minimum ok” with this he gently shuffled her out the door way and was rewarded with a slap to the side of the head then she went on her way.

He started with the plates first, He scrubbing them gently and pushing the remnant off into the sink. He watched as the pieces floated down the drain See Hermione this is simple just scrapping and rinsing no big deal. After this he started in on the bowl and silverware repeating the process Ok the sink is starting to fill up with more water maybe I should see if something is jammed in there, He stuck his hand down in the drain and could feel something at the bottom he pulled it out and realized it was the rag they had used the day before. He started in on the pots and pans and was scrubbing out the last pan when he realized that the sink was feeling up again.

“Umm guys I was just wondering why the sink is filling up with water” Ron said as he stuck his head around the doorway.

“Ron just turn on the disposal and it will take care of it ok” Harry said as he looked up from the book he was reading through,

“Um ok turn it on gotcha no prob. Just how in the bloody hell am I supposed to turn the bloody thing on? Hello love my name is Ron oh wont you eat the garbage now

“Ron you do remember how to turn on the disposal right” Hermione asked after noticing him starring in space for a few seconds.

“Remind me again” He said with a slight chuckle and a small blush gracing his cheeks after he remembered her explaining it to him yesterday when they got there, he had only been half listening to her still wrapped up in the microwave and how it worked.

“There’s a switch on the wall by the sink just flip that and it will turn on ok.” She said trying not to laugh at Ron’s guilty expression.

With this he went to return to the sink and start looking for the switch. He had taken two steps when all of a sudden he cried out and went down in a heap on the floor. Hearing him cry out the other two went running into the kitchen pulling there wands out as they went. Harry shoved Hermione behind him and dove into the kitchen expecting death eaters. It wasn’t until he was sliding across the kitchen floor that he realized what had happened. While Ron was talking to them the sink had overflowed and was now turning the kitchen into a giant slip and slide. He tried to get up and got half way there when he lost his footing again and went crashing to the floor for a second time.

Hermione couldn’t stop her giggles after she realized what had happened. She almost had them stifled when Harry attempted to stand and ended up crashing to the floor again. She slowly and carefully made her way to the sink and turned off the tap and started the disposal. She started laughing harder after the 3, 4, 5, and 6th attempt from Harry to stand.

“You know Hermione you really need to work on those supportive girlfriend attitudes. You could be nice and help me stand up.” Harry said after the 10th time trying to stand on his own only to end up back on the floor.

“Oh I’m sorry sweetie do you want me to kiss it and make it better for you,” She got out between gasps for breath. By this time she had one hand holding the counter and the other clutching her side which had started to hurt.

“See this is what I mean no caring, no compassion, no love, and definitely no supportive instincts.” He grumbled as he just sat there to sore to try it again

“Yes dear I will get right on those supportive girlfriend thingy” she managed to say this with a straight face even though the twinkle in her eyes would put Dumbledore’s to shame.

“ As nice as this little love fest is I would really like to get into some dry clothes so if you two would can it for a bit and if Hermione will get us some towels we can clean this mess up.” Ron said slightly annoyed as his ego wasn’t the only thing that was gonna be bruised come tomorrow morning.

“Oh your right Ron, sorry about that I’ll go grab those right now.” She had made it almost to the door when she stepped just right and her foot went out in front of her and she ended up doing the splits right there in the wet kitchen.

“Not a word from the peanut gallery you got me” with that she crawled to the door and used it to help her with her balance.

The boys were quiet during this time and were both looking at the door she had left from.

“Bloody hell that must of hurt” Ron said softly

“I know did you know she could do that” Harry said afraid she might be hurt

“No did you” Ron replied looking him in the eyes

“No” he said shaking his head

“dang that’s hot” Ron said all of a sudden

“What why would you say that” Harry started wondering if he was gonna punch his best mate

“Just think how flexible she must be” he replied with a slight smirk

“Yeah so” starting to get slightly pissed off

“Two words my friend Karma Sutra” and with that he threw a small wink over his shoulder as he pulled himself up off the floor.

“Oh you are so lucky she didn’t hear you say that she would hex your bits off so fast” Harry said as he mimicked the others and pulled himself up using the counter.

They spent the next hour cleaning up the floor and ringing out the towels. They spent more time playing then working. Ron had started sliding across the floor while Harry and Hermione were standing on towels and skating over the mess to clean it up. They had finally finished the last of the room when Hermione rolled her towels and used it to snap Ron’s thigh.

“Bloody hell women that hurt” Ron said as he rubbed his leg

“UM sorry but I have two words for you care to guess what those are” She said giving him a devious look and rolling her towel to snap again

“Um now Hermione you don’t want to hurt me again it was just a comment I’m sorry I *Snap* Bloody hell women I said I was sorry *snap* I’m getting pissed *snap* that’s it you are going to get it *SNAP* what the hell Harry.”

“I told you were going to get it and you so deserved it for the comment Ron”

“Yeah but why did you have to snap me to” He pouted

“Oh that’s simple you threatened my girl” Harry said with a smirk

“oh I see how its going to be gang up on single guy right”

Harry and Hermione looked at each other and at the same time replied “Yep” then as an aside Harry remarked “Sorry mate she kisses better then you”

“Oh I’m sorry Ronald would you rather I use the bat bogey hex you know what you deserve that and my attacking canaries” and with that she let loose a series of hexes that had him avoiding flying objects and puking slugs.

“Please *Blah * cancel *blah* the cu*blah*rse” Ron pleaded as he tried to stop the flow of slugs

“Finite incantium” Harry canceled her hex and helped Ron stand up “you said it yourself scary, brilliant, but scary.”

“Yeah, well I think you’re just whipped.” As he was still rubbing his arm from Harry’s hit. The fact his shirt was wet didn’t help any. “I get it and I really am sorry but dang girl where did you learn that.”

Hermione just blushed slightly “Um it was from Tonk’s truthfully, she taught both me and Ginny. She said you never know when you might have to drop low.”

“Remind me to send her a gift” Harry said as he wrapped his arms around her giving her a gentle kiss to the temple then a soft brush of her lips “What do you say we go get dry and cleaned up”

“That sounds like a good idea love” as she squeezed him one last time and walked to her room.

Her last remark had brought home that even though they were playing around there was still a lot of danger in the near future and it put a slight damper on the rest of their night.

********* thanks Arm Wild*****************

Took a while for the outrageousness to get going and it's missing alot of punctuation, but it was real playful and amusing. I like the way it starts
and ends on a serious note.

LOL I think this paragraph here sums up OOC funnyness:



4 stars!

Bloody hilarious!

I liked that. It was very interesting. I definitely wouldn't expect Hermione to do the splits. It was nice. It was just missing a lot of commas and such.
