Discalmer: I own none of the characters, all greatness is thanks to J.K.Rowling. But I do own the story plot :)
Please review and tell me what you think!
Chapter One: Welcome back
"Platform 9¾," beamed a red headed lady, "come on Ron and Ginny. Only you two this year, seems so different! How I miss the old days." The woman sighed and sniffed a bit. A younger man with red hair too placed his arm around his mother and smiled his lop-sided smile at her.
"Come on mum, just remember when we graduate we all will be around the burrow every day!" Ron said happily.
"You will..." Ginny muttered.
"What was that?" Ron asked with a grin on his face, letting go of his mother.
"N-nothin'," Ginny replied a little confused, "why are you so happy? You can't be happy to be going back to school! You hate sch-" then it struck her,"OHHH I get it, can't wait to see-" But Ron stopped her. His grin was wiped of his face and he was staring at Ginny in the shut-up kinda way.
"Well better be off then shall we," Ron said turning from looking at his sister to his mum, his grin reappearing. "See you at Christmas mum!" He said cheerfully giving his mother a quick peck on the cheek.
"Yeah bye mum," Ginny groaned, she really didn't want to go back to school. After last year she didn't want to face anyone again, she had been sulking all summer. Your heart can't heal that quickly you know. She pecked her mother on the other cheek and headed towards the wall.
"Goodbye kids. Remember to OWL me, your father and brothers!" Their mother said, her arm flapping crazily waving goodbye. A tear rolled down her cheek.
Ginny nodded and pushed her trolley which was full with luggage, running at the wall. "Bye mum, don't miss us too much!" Ron smiled at her and then followed his sister, pushing his trolley, into the wall. After catching up with her they heard a distant female voice.
"RON! GINNY!" a girl shouted, "OVER HERE!"
Ron looked over his shoulder and saw a bushy brown headed girl running towards them. "Oh no! No no no no no," he said running his hand through his mop of red hair, "do I look okay?" Ron asked his sister. She grinned and was just about to say something when ron inturupted her, "oh shut up!"
By now the girl had caught up with them, puffing she spoke "Hey guys, just got here?" Ginny nodded while Ron blushed a little. "Oh well you better load up we will be leaving in-" she looked at her watch, "-10 minutes."
Ginny pushed her trolley towards the train while Hermione tagged along next to her. Ron watched them chatting and how Hermione's hair bounced when she walked. And how just walking past him he could smell, smell how sweet she smelt, just like cinnamon. Just then his train of thought was interupted, "Alright mate?" A young boy around his age said tapping him on his shoulder.
"U-u-oh Harry!" Ron said beaming at his friend, "how are you since our last OWL?"
"Fine, just fine..." Harry said side tracked because he was looking in the direction Ron was. He saw Hermione and smiled knowing what exactly was going on, then he saw the red headed girl next to her. Ginny. How he missed holding her, how he missed touching that red hair. He sighed.
Ron heard and looked in the direction of the girls where he had been looking moments before.
"Oh please, please don't say you still like my sister?" Ron asked, as if he was begging. He didn't know why they broke up, Ginny didn't tell him and Harry 'didn't wanna talk about it'. "I mean it is okay if you do but if you do why break up with her, you know she took it out on me all summer!"
"Yeah you told me..." Harry sighed as they made their way over to the train to load Ron's things up.
On the train (in their own booth)
Hermione had been the only one talking, they were halfway there and Ron, Ginny and Harry were all silent.
"...and then dad had shouted at the man. It was so funny," Hermione paused and sighed, crossing her arms, "you should've been there." She lent back. "If anyone is listening I am gonna take a nap," she waited for a reply, nothing, "fine!" She closed her eyes and began to drift of to sleep.
Ron was listening. "No don't sleep," he thought, "talk, I like it when you talk!"
It was too late she was asleep, he watched her, how her chest peacfully moved up and down when she breathed. She had really grown over the summer, really g r o w n. Ron turned pink and stopped looking. Ginny saw him, she sighed and brought her knees up to her face.
"Merlins beard," she thought, "I'll get them together if it is the last thing I do!" She planned how she would on the remaining journey, avoiding Harry's eyes.
Dinner at Hogwarts
The trio along with Ginny sat around the table surrounded by chatting wizards and witches. Ecstatic to see their friends again. The only thing wrong was the four of them weren't talking, Ginny barely had touched her food, Ron was constantily blusing everytime Hermione looked at him and Harry wasn't looking up from his plate. Hermione broke the silence-
"Oh Ron I never asked, how was your summer?" Hermione asked hoping it would strike up a conversation.
"Oh u-uh it was fine," He replied quietly, blushing. Ginny and Harry glanced at eachother and giggled and then quickly broke eye contact.
"What's so funny?" Hermione asked.
"Nothing" Ginny and Harry said bluntly, in unision.
"Oh, I was hoping we could all start talking. Seems like you lot have broken up and I haven't been told." Hermione crossed her arms and waited... "Well, have you?"
"Of course not we would tell you." Ginny said sitting up.
"Y-yeah" Ron said quietly.
"Ron why do you keep stuttering, eh?" Ginny asked giggling, Harry joined in.
"B-because..." Ron started, Ginny quickly interupted,
"Because you have a crush on-"
"No one" Ron said quickly.
"Aw, Ron. Who do you have a crush on? C'mon tell me-u-us!" Hermione butted in.
"I c-can't. I m-mean, it's a secret." Ron smiled proud with himself, thinking he had come up with a smart excuse.
Harry spoke up eventhough he knew who Ron liked. "A secret you hide from your best friends?" Ron was wrong.
"W-well..."
"Fine if you won't tell us, give us a clue?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah, Ronny give us a clue," Ginny said giggling.
"Erm w-well," if I do maybe they will shut up! He thought. "S-she is in Griffindor and my year. That's all I am saying!" He said glaring at Ginny.
"Ooooooooh" Hermione, Ginny and Harry said in unision.
In the Griffindor Common Room (Harry, sitting next to Hermione on the couch dosing of while Hermione was reading a book. Ron was practicing chess while all the other Griffindors were in bed or getting ready to go up.)
"I'm going up mate," Harry yawned nodding at Ron, "g'night Hermione."
Hermione looked up from her book, "Good night Harry." She smiled and began reading again.
"Yeah night." Ron said, "I'll just finish my game."
Ron watched as Harry walked backwards glaring at Ron and gesturing towards Hermione, mouthing "Tell her Ron. NOW!"
He laughed out loud as Harry backwards stumbled over a corner table. "What?" Hermione asked. Harry mouthed again, "NOW!" Pointing at her again and running up the stairs to the dorms.
"N-nothing," Ron told her, "Hermione I need to tell you something." Ron said getting up from his stool and sitting next to Hermione on the couch.
"Yes?" Hermione asked looking up from her book. Her chocolate brown eyes staring into his deep blue ones.
"Well..."
