A/N: Hey everyone! My first story... could be one-shot, review if you want it to be a whole thing:) Probably sucks 'cause it's my first, but ANYWHO! :) Please review :)

Disclaimer: I am not J.K Rowling, and I do not own any of her stuff! :) Wish I was a genius. But I'm not so... meh :)

Ronald Weasley stumbled into the living room of the Burrow, yawningas he looked around quickly.

'There is no one in the living room at,' He looked over at the clock, '12:30 in the afternoon?' he mumbled to himself.

He looked at the clock that showed where everyone was. It said that Charlie, Bill and Percy were away, but everyone else were lost. He ambled upstairs, and looked in everyone's room. Fred and George weren't there, neither were Ginny and his parents.

'Where the bloody hell are they?' He asked aloud.

He expected someone to tell him to 'watch his language', but no one seemed to answer back to him.

He placed his hand over the rough stubble that was forming there, trying to figure out where everyone had gone. As he started to make his way downstairs and into the garden, a knock was at the door. He opened it, and the first thing he noticed was her beautiful, wavy long brown hair with little streaks of blonde weaving its way into it. He then moved onto her face, and that was when he realised it was Hermione.

'Oh, ah, hi 'Mione' he said avoiding eye-contact.

'Hello Ronald' she brightly.

'Ah-h, who you want, because I can't seem to find anyone!'

'What do you mean you can't seem to find anyone?'

'The clock says everyone's here, but they're not. They're not anywhere!'

'Have you checked their bed-'

'Yes! Yes Hermione, I have checked their bedrooms, but they're not there.' He snapped, not knowing where the sudden outburst came from.

'Oh… um ok, I'm sorry that I assumed that'

'No 'Mione, I didn't mean that, I'm sorry.'

'So you've looked in their bedrooms, have you checked anywhere else?'

'Hey, ah, why don't you come inside and we'll continue this?'

'Oh, ah, sure. I'm sure that's what you do when a friend comes to your door and they start chatting to you' she said dripping with sarcasm.

As she made her way in she couldn't help herself but stare at his well-built body from playing Quidditch. You could see every muscle through that thin, white t-shirt.

"Gosh I shouldn't be thinking about this kind of stuff" She thought, but she just couldn't help herself. His hair was untidy from sleep, and his stubble was just gorgeous. His eyes were sparking with an electric blue, and through that thick orange hair that was drooping into his eyes he was staring at her, whilst she gazed at him.

She quickly looked away with a blush creeping onto her face.

'Anyway, what did you come around for 'Mione?' Ron asked with interest.

'It doesn't matter. What matters is that- you need to get changed! Ronald it is 12:30 in the afternoon! I came around here later because I thought that everyone would be awake and dressed. But that is obviously not the case.'

'Oh, um, okay I'll be down in about five minutes. You can look around if you want.'

'Okay, but be quick'

While he practically ran upstairs, Hermione started to look around the house. Then realising what a lovely house it actually was. It was extremely homey, a type of home that she longed for. A big family where everyone looked out for each other, and they actually remembered each other's names. 'Unlike my own', but she quickly pushed that thought from her mind. She went into the lounge room and noticed a clock with everyone's picture on it.

'Oh I've heard about one of these! They were in 'Ancient Artefacts of the Wizarding World'! I can't believe that you have one in your house… not meaning anything offensive at all of course, but it's just… amazing. I love everything like this. Old and rusty, new and polished. But I- these are amazing! Oh, wow, did you know tha-'

'Yes Hermione, I did' Ron muttered.

He had been standing in the corner for a while, just watching her ramble on about something or other. She was beautiful when she didn't know anyone was watching her. They had been at Hogwarts together for nearly six years now. And they still riled each-other up, and at the end of some of the arguments, he sometimes couldn't remember what they were fighting about, it's just that he loved seeing her mad. Her eyes would go a deep brown, and there were occasional hazel sparks in them. But right now he was just watching her. With her petite little bum poking out while she was in complete awe of the clock.

'But Ron! It's completely amazing!'

'Yes Hermione… I sort of know that!'

'But Ron!'

'Yes'

'But-'

'Yes Hermione!'

'Right… I'll shut up now'

'No, I didn't mean that, I just mean that people don't normally come into other people's houses and marvel their clocks'

'Why did you stress the word 'clocks' so much?'

Ron laughed 'Never mind'

'Now come on! Let's go find your family!' She said with a glint of determination in her eyes.

They looked everywhere. They weren't in the kitchen, they weren't in their bedrooms, they weren't in the garden, they weren't in the shed, and they weren't in the attic.

'They're nowhere!' Ron whined.

'Don't give up so soon! They could be anywhere…'

'But they aren't anywhere! Because we've looked everywhere!'

'Look Ron, I know you love spending time with me, but I think we should call some others over to start a search party…'

'For once, I think you're right'

'Boy thanks!'

'I know I know, I'm a genius, but you didn't have to point it out completely!'

'Shut up Ron!'

'Really? I think… you have to say, that I'm the smartest boy you've ever met, and you've ever going to meet!'

'Never in a million years!'

'Really?'

'Really.' She said quite matter-of-factly

'Really Really?'

'Really Really'

'RAAAAAA!'

'AGH!'

He started tickling her as she squirmed along the floor. The force of him on top of her whilst tickling her was completely baffling. She was shocked at the mere strength of him.

'Stop it, stop it!'

'Not until you say it!'

'Never!'

'Then I'll just stay here for-EVER!'

'AGH! NO!'

'Say it then!'

'Fine, fine'

'Say it!'

'You… are the… REALLY!'

'YES!'

'The smartest boy I've ever met!'

'AND the other bit!'

'And I will ever meet! GET OFF ME NOW!'

'Okay, okay,'

'That was completely satisfying,' Ron declared.

'To be called smart by someone who is smart, shouldn't be satisfying!'

'Oh but it is!'

'Well it- what are you doing?' Hermione asked while she glared at Ron.

'Nothing! Nothing at all…'

Ron was getting off her and he sat down on the couch watching whilst sitting down on the couch. Her hair was all scruffy and out of its perfect place because she was tackled. Her shirt was pulled up to her belly-button, and her face was flustered. He was much the same, but he just didn't notice it.

She was beautiful.

'So, should we get back to looking?'

'Can I get a drink?'

'Only if you get me one to!'

'Fine, but I don't know where anything is!'

'Then I'll just have to come and help you'

'And THEN we have to call Harry for help'

'Will he be able to get here from Hogwarts? Seeing as it is holidays, and he didn't want to stay here with me because we apparently need 'privacy'! I mean, who NEEDS privacy?'

'Most living people Ron.'

'Yeah… But… Still!'

'Oh shut up!'

'Okay, okay!'

'Let's go get some drinks' she said with a smile.

They got up at the same time, and they automatically tripped over each-other.

'Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! Are you okay? Do you need ice? Or, anything else? Because I think I could find some somewhere, but are you okay? Do you need anything? Ron, Ron talk to me! Speak, speak-'

'Hermione, I'm fine! Just a hit on the head with an unfortunate table… I hope the tables alright… if it isn't, Mum's going to kill me!'

'That's right, your parents, we need to find them!'

'Come on then! Let's call some people over here to help with the search party, but before that, why did you come over here?'

'Oh, I was just wondering if I could stay for the rest of the summer, because my parents are going to be in Thailand until the end of year…'

'Oh yeah sure! My mum would love you here! Not to mention Ginny, she needs a girl around here! And mum doesn't count'

'Thanks Ron!' Hermione said as she went to give him a quick hug, that made both of them blush.

'Ok… do you want to get off me now?' Ron asked as the hug went on for a little bit too long.

'Oh, yeah, sure, ahh, sorry'

'No, it's okay'

'Okay, so how do we get all of the people here without taking so long?'

'Could we call Dobby to come and help us?'

'No! Absolutely not! Did you know that 510 House Elves die every year from-'

'YES HERMIONE! Please do not bring up S.P.E.W right now! It will take ten times quicker than using an owl, and they will be here much quicker!'

'Fine, but then no more of… of this' She said pointing to her head then to him.

'Hey! I take offence to that!'

'Meh'

'Grrrr' Ron threatened

'And I say again, meh'

Ron sighed, 'Okay, let's get Dobby in here'

'DOBBY!' Hermione shouted.

A loud pop sounded in-front of them, and a moment later, Dobby arrived. They gave him instructions to give Remus, Tonks, and Harry the situation and to be here ASAP.

He nodded, and a second later, there was a pop, and he was gone.

'Well I guess the only thing left to do here is to wait…'

'I guess you're right.'

'Always'

Ron frowned in confusion…

'How are you always right?'

'I'm. A genius. Duh'

'Sure…'

'HEY! You know I am!'

'Right… I'm going to go check if Dobby's back'

'He won't be'

'How do you know? Or are you just a genius?'

'I'm just a genius… but we would have heard the *pop* noise by now'

'Oh, yeah that's right'

'Mm-hmm,'

'Hey Ron…'

'Yeah 'Mione?'

'Would it be okay if my boyfriend came over for a day or so while I'm here?'

'No! I- I mean… Who's your boyfriend?' Ron said with a smirk.

'Just a boy in our grade called Stewart…'

'Wait… Stewart Ackerley? From Ravenclaw?'

'Yeah… but before you say anything! He's really smart, and really sweet, and he's kind of good looking…' Hermione admitted shyly.

'I'm completely fine with that… but just one thing'

'Yeah what is it?'

'No public snogging, or anything else' Ron pleaded.

'I can't completely guarantee that!'

'You have to! Or he can't come over…'

'Fine!'

Ron was bewildered. He just couldn't believe that Hermione had a boyfriend! It was Hermione! She could never have a boyfriend! It wasn't allowed… Stewart was a nice guy, but he just wanted to beat him up because he was touching Hermione's hand, or her hair. That was his job! And he was taking it away from him. Wait… why should he care? Why would I care about who has a crush on Hermione? He didn't… so why did he care. He couldn't have a crush on Hermione, because she was like a sister to Harry, and that would be betraying him. And as if Harry would ever go after Ginny. If he did he would be a dead man, but he wouldn't, ever do that! And plus… it was Hermione! His only proper girl that was his friend. Unless you count Lavender… but that was more of her being a stalker then a friend.

'Drink time!'

'Okie Dokie'

As they made their way into the kitchen, there was a loud 'pop' behind them, and Harry was there with Dobby.

'Hey mate!'

'Hey Ron, hey 'Mione, what's this about Dobby saying that your family have gone missing?'

'Well they ah, they kind of have…'

'What? Where are they?'

'That's kind of why we called you!' Hermione said grimly.

'Hey Dobby'

'Yes Ronald?'

'There isn't any need to call anyone else'

'Okay, if you wish'

'I do'

'Goodbye Master Potter, Miss Granger, Master Weasley'

'See you Dobby' they said simultaneously.

'Now come on Ron, explain this to me'

'Right, so I woke up this morning, well afternoon-'

'As you do normally… what was it, 12pm?' Harry chuckled

'No actually, it was 12:30!' That comment earned him a slap on the shoulder from Hermione.

'Ouch! But yeah, when I came downstairs there was no one there, and then the clock, you know which one,' he said while putting a hand over Hermione's mouth 'and that they were all lost… except from Charlie, Bill and Percy.' Ron explained.

'Obviously' Harry stated

'Yeah, then Hermione came over and asked if she could stay the rest of the summer because of her parents'

'Oh dude, you get no privacy here!'

'I get way to much privacy already! It'll be nice with hardly any!' Hermione protested.

'Hey I take offence to that!' Ron cried making them all laugh.

'What happened then?' Harry asked

'Well when Hermione finished marvelling the clock, and then we looked for them all around the Burrow, and the garden and shed. They weren't anywhere!' Ron worried

'Ron, Ron! Calm down!'

'I am calm!'

'Of course'

'Stop joking around! My family is M.I.A!'

'No, they aren't! They're probably somewhere close, they're probably just a mile or so away!'

'No they aren't! They're going to be dead, and then they're going- they're going to- to- to- to-'

Both Hermione and Harry had never seen Ron break down before. They were seriously worried. It always seemed that Ron begged for personal space, and for his brothers to disappear, but now it had happened, it seemed as if Ron needed them more than ever.

'Look mate, I know that you're bloody distressed at the moment, but we need to look for them… whether you like it or not'

'I know… I know, it's just… I miss them so much!'

'We know Ron' Hermione accepted.

'Let's go and find your family' Harry decided.
