A/N: Welcome to "All Work, No Play". Had the idea ages ago and am picking it up again now. Note that I have no idea where it is going exactly (or un-exactly for that matter). There might be some Hermione/Ginny Slash on the horizon. Or not. I really don't know. So I rated M for safety, so no one can come complaining about any sexy moments afterwards ;)

"I don't know..." Ginny drawled with half-closed eyes, nibbling on the daisy she had lazily plucked from the grass.

"I'm with Ginny here," said Ron, squinting up at the warm April sun, "there are tons of better ways to spend the summer than working." He grimaced.

"Right", said Harry who was dangling his feet in the cool water of the stream they were sitting by, "off the top of my head I can think of a thousand things I'd rather do. Like sitting here, with my friends, doing nothing."

"Quidditch!" Ginny chipped in excitedly.

"Sleeping," Ron stifled a yawn.

Hermione rolled her eyes, got up and made an effort to wipe the dirt from her jeans. "You three are impossible!" she huffed, "how I can I be the only one thinking about the future? That is not going to sort itself out just like that. You can't leave everything to chance. You have to have a plan. Sleeping all day and flying around on your stupid broom is not a plan!"

"Hell yeah, it is, Hermione! At least it is if you want to go into Quidditch professionally", quipped Ron.

"Right, Ron, as if you were good enough for that", Hermione bit back.

"Oh, sod off, Hermione", Ron barked at Hermione's back as she stormed off.

"Merlin, if Voldemort doesn't finish me off, you two will", sighed Harry. He reluctantly withdrew his feet from the water, got up, grabbed his shoes and socks and ran off: "Wait! Hermione, wait!"

Ginny, who had silently listened to the exchange while finishing off the daisy in her mouth, looked at her brother intently. She mumbled something and got up to leave as well.

"Great. Just leave, all of you," Ron hissed and crossed his arms in front of his chest, "a perfectly nice day with nothing to do and Hermione has to go ahead and ruin it with her stupid ideas. 'An internship is supposed to prepare us for life after school'," he mocked. "Bollocks..."
