Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or the characters, just the plot and all that jazz.

Author's Note I immediately thought of this after reading Deathly Hallows so of course- SPOILER WARNING! Advanced thanx for reading and/or reviewing!

~Hermione~

I can't believe there are ten Wendell and Monica Wilkins couples in Australia. I looked at the computer results amazed- I had picked the most random names on Earth for a reason.

Okay maybe I need to narrow the search down to recent home buyers. Yes! Three couples, that's much better. One couple resided in Sydney, the other in Perth, and a third in Gold Coast.

Since I had to cut off all ties of magic to my parents, I didn't leave a tracking spell on them. So this would be a completely blind search.

I began to pack for about a two week trip in my trusty beaded purse. This time I thought to conjure wizard money. Even if I was tired of adventures from searching for Horcruxes for nearly a year- at least Ron would be with me.

At first when I asked him to come along, he was hesitant. Even though his family are 'blood traitors', he is still shaky about being surrounded by muggle technology and customs. Basically, the airplanes are what had Ron in a rut.

Since the escaping of some of the Death Eaters from the final Battle, apparating to another country without permission has been banned. And with the Ministry still in shambles, getting permission takes weeks so I decided we would be traveling by muggle means.

But after a few heated snogs and suggestive references to the fact that we would be all alone for nearly two weeks, Ron agreed to join to me. Then he came up with idea for it to be a vacation for us all; Harry and Ginny were all for it. So we convinced Mrs. Weasley to allow Ron and Ginny to vacation by themselves.

It took hours of persuasion for Mrs. Weasley to allow Ginny to go. We agreed to book two hotel rooms for each hotel, to have our wands on us at all times, and to not go anywhere alone.

After writing down the three addresses, I walked briskly out of the muggle library. Once in a safe spot from view I apparated back to the Burrow.

I immediately noticed Ron and Percy sitting at the table arguing about something. They were so engrossed in their argument, they didn't hear me arrive. So I curiously tuned in to their conversation.

"…..is not a plot so I can just be alone to have sex with her! I already told you that!" Ron said in an annoyed tone.

"But, Ronald, you are young and careless. You should have some sort of chaperone…"

"I helped save the bloody wizarding world; I think I'm responsible enough. Mum has no problem with it, what's your deal? Your not crushing on my girlfriend, are you?" Ron asked jokingly. I noticed Percy's ears turn red. Oh gosh, he is!

"Oh gosh, you are!" Ron said shocked. I felt this was my time to make myself known, but to spare Percy the embarrassment I decided to re-apparate to the same spot.

This time they heard me. I acted completely natural, which is saying something for me.

"Ron!' I exclaimed as I walked over to him and gave him a kiss. He seemed conflicted about whether to return it or push me away for Percy's sake, but he held on to me anyway. When I pulled away I peered at Percy, he seemed mildly embarrassed.

"Hello Percy" I said cordially. He nodded his head in response and began to stand up. In the corner of my eye I saw Ron give him a significant look that clearly said we'll talk later.
As Percy walked out of the kitchen, I felt all the tension leave the atmosphere.

"I heard what happened; I can't believe he has a crush on me! Why me?"

'Cuz you're the only absolutely gorgeous girl that would actually listen to and understand his drabble about rules and regulations." Ron said serenely.

"You've been reading that book again, haven't you? Seriously, Ronald! The only book you bother picking in up in the seven years I've known you is Twelve Fail-Safe Ways to Charm Witches!"
"Hey, I've read other books! Quidditch through the Ages….okay I've reader another book. But now I'm sure Percy is up there studying up on Hogwarts, A History in attempt to win you over." Ron said in a happy tone.

"You seem really calm about this; I thought you'd strangle him"

"Well I know that Percy would never stand a chance with you, you are already strict and uptight. You don't need a strict and uptight boyfriend. Plus, the fact that you luuuuuuuv me!" Ron said in a light tone.

"What makes you think I luuuuuuuuuv you?" I said sitting in his lap.

"Well…maybe the fact that I'm the only one who can do this…" Ron said as he kissed me on my neck, earning a sigh from me. "..and this…" he added as he began to nibble on my ear, earning a small moan from me. "…and this" he kissed me and I felt his long arms wrap around me. I then felt his hand slide up my shirt to my stomach and began tickling me.

I broke away from the kiss shaking with hysterical laughter. Damn it, I should have never told him I was ticklish near my ribs!
"Ron, STOP! Please…Stop!" I begged between giggles. Ron was laughing too. The tickling got so bad, I began to cry. By now we had both fell out of the chair and were wrestling on the floor of the Burrow's kitchen.

Just when I thought it would ever stop, it did.

We heard someone clear their voice amusedly and we looked up from the floor to find Mr. and Mrs. Weasley looking down at us with amused expressions on their faces.

Ron stood up and helped me up. We both gave them sheepish grins and quickly exited the room. As I climbed the steps, I could swear I heard Mrs. Weasley laughing in the same manner I was when Ron was tickling me.
