Chapter 1 Summer at The Burrow
"Hermione- quit giggling. I can't do my charms essay. Besides, you are going to wake up Harry and Ron!" "Sorry Ginny. I just can't stop giggling or smiling. I don't know how I am going to keep a straight face around your family," whispered Hermione. "So, how was my brother?" Ginny tried to ask casually, but ended up cracking up with laughter. All Hermione could do was blush. "That good? Quit blushing, if you asked me about Harry, I would be the same." "Well, Ginny," "Well what?" "How is Harry?" "I should have never brought this up."

By the time everyone in the house came down for breakfast, Hermione and Ginny had calmed down and were quietly helping Mrs. Weasley with breakfast.

~ Earlier that morning, in Ron's bedroom ~

"Harry, don't get me wrong," Ron said, "I love going to Hogwarts, but how do I keep my hands off Hermione? Especially after this summer? It was different before we made love. How I just want to be with her all the time." "Man, you really love her. I am glad that you have found someone to love, but Snape is going to be all over you if you can't control yourself." "Harry, I know that you're with my sister, but reassure me, do you love her?" "Honestly Ron, I go crazy when I don't see her. I love her more than magically possible. I want to marry her and spend forever with her." "You want to marry my sister! I know you love her, but I didn't think it was that deep." "Yeah Ron. I'm going to propose to her at King's Cross, where she first entered my life." "Wow Harry." "Please Ron, don't tell anybody. But I want you to come with me when I pick out a ring for her. Will you come with me?" "Of course I am coming. I was there before you even asked."

~ At breakfast ~

An owl flew in through the Weasley's window and landed in front of Mrs. Weasley. She untied the letters from its leg and it flew off. She turned them so that she could read the addressee and handed them out to the right people.

"Hogwarts letters for you four." Mrs. Weasley said, and then burst into tears. "Mrs. Weasley, what's wrong?" asked Hermione. "It's Molly dear, and it's the last time my Ron will receive a letter." She promptly burst into tears again.

As the four of them opened their letters, three small silver pins rolled onto the table. All of the pins had the Gryffindor Lion embossed with writing across the middle. One said 'Head Girl' and the other two said "Prefect".

Mrs. Weasley was the first to say anything. "Oh my. Harry and Ginny- both of you are Prefects. Congratulations Hermione, Head Girl. All four of you are doing so well. (Ron had been made a Prefect in his sixth year.) I am so proud of you."

Hermione quickly got up from the table and ran from the kitchen.
