Summer after the Order of the Phoenix. Ron Weasley's acting a bit weird. "Could I have your telephone number?" It took Hermione a moment to register what Ron had asked. He had asked it in a completely normal way; just an ordinary guy asking an ordinary girl for her contact details. That was the problem, Ron Weasley was not an ordinary guy, he was a Wizard, from a long line, and large family of wizards. Written Prior to HBP, (Beta'ed by Sandy)

The red headed young man sitting facing her wasn’t perfect, far from it, and after five years of friendship, Hermione knew pretty much all his faults. On a scale of one to ten, Hermione Granger rated Ron Weasley a very solid twelve and a half. The scale wasn’t perfect of course; on the one end, Severus Snape was a consistent over rated zero, on the other, Remus Lupin served up a rather dishy nine point nine (Ten being an impossible ideal).

The Secret is out, Ginny Weasley has spilled her guts, telling Fred and George about their little brother's love life. What action will these notorious pranksters take at the prospect of Hermione Granger becoming part of the family.

Ron followed Hermione’s father out into the back yard. This was, he realized, a rite of passage, something that all young men had to go through at one time or another, unless they were fortunate to favour an orphan girl. Ron felt he would much rather be talking to giant spiders in the forbidden forest. (Author's note: this is the final Chapter)
