Mrs. Ronald Weasly
Hermione pulled out her ticket and sat down in the last compartment in the train. It was her seventh and final year at Hogwarts. She was so glad to be going back after what had happened last year and she thought she would never see this train ever again. Ron Weasly pushed Hermione's and his own trunk into the overhead compartment. He then sat next to Hermione and smiled at Harry, who had just walked into the compartment. He settled down on the bench across from Ron and Hermione.
"You came back." Hermione smiled surprised.
"Yeah, I figured that it would be a lot easier to find the last four Horcruxes if I'm at Hogwarts." Harry sighed. "Good to see you again mate." Ron expressed and clasped Harry on his shoulder. "We'd have missed you if you had decided not to come back. Especially Ginny, she's still in love with you." Ron finished. Harry smiled, " I still love her too, but I'm not going to let her get hurt for me." Harry said stubbornly. Ron grinned and looked thankful that Harry both still loved Ginny and wanted her to stay safe at his own self-sacrifice. Hermione settled back into the bench she was sitting on.
"How's your summer – OH MAN! Ron we forgot we have to go give the prefects their instructions. We nearly forgot, Harry we'll be right back." Hermione and Ron scooted out of the compartment. Harry was almost glad to see them leave. Ever since last year in school he hadn't wanted to return. He did dearly want to see his friends and most of all Ginny, but it reminded him to much of what had happened the previous year with Dumbledore…and Snape. Nothing would ever be the same Dumbledore was gone on Snape's accord. Harry more than ever hated Snape, not only because of what he had done to Dumbledore, but he had been the one who brought the message about the Potter's to Voldemort. He was the one who had betrayed his parents. He was the reason that Harry had no parents.
"Harry, Harrry. Wake up! WAKE UP!" Hermione's face came into view, she must have been the one talking. "What? What do you want?" Harry spoke.
"Oh nothing I was just making sure you were okay. Why were asleep?" Harry shrugged the question off and decided to talk to Ron about Quidditch. Hermione sat by the window watching for almost the last time the scenery of the countryside on the way to Hogwarts. She put her head back into the comfortable pillows of the bench. Ron looked over at her as she drifted off to sleep.
"Harry I've got a problem." Ron said quietly so Hermione could not hear in case she wasn't asleep.
"What is it?" Harry asked thinking it was a matter of life or death because they seemed to be the only problems these days.
"It's Hermione, Harry you know I've liked her ever since our first year here right?" Harry nodded "Well I really want to ask her out, but what if she doesn't feel the same way about me what if she thinks I'm the biggest prat EVER and won't go out with me. What will I do?" Ron asked worriedly.
"Look Ron, I've seen the way she looks at you she's in love with you too Ron. I swear." Harry finished. Ron looked calmer than he did before asking Harry.
"I don't want to ruin our friendship over a relationship" Ron said.
"Yeah Ron, but think about it if you guys get serious enough," Harry leaned In closer "She could be Mrs. Ronald Weasly!" Harry exclaimed sarcastically. Ron blushed bright red to the tips of is ears. What if Harry's right what if she liked me enough to get married to me when we're old enough! I know I'd be happy Ron blushed even redder and Harry laughed. Hermione moved a bit and Ron froze, while biting his lip. Harry smiled and shook his head and Ron was calm.
Ginny ran into their compartment.
"Harry! How was your summer?" Ginny asked smiling brightly.
"Fine Gin. How was yours?" Harry asked.
"Great, well except that you weren't around." Ginny frowned. Harry stood up and hugged her then bayed her sit next to him. She smiled and obliged. The talk of quidditch once again was born seeing as Hermione was fast asleep not there to say something negative about their favourite sport.
Hermione was deep in sleep until she heard a scream. She awoke with a start and saw Ginny sitting there, smiling radiantly.
"What the- what just happened?" Hermione asked groggily.
"Harry said he's going to make me quidditch captain when next year!" Ginny said still looking stunned. "Wow congratulations Gin. You'll do great." Hermione smiled. "Gosh my neck hurts from sleeping like this." She rubbed her neck. Ron smiled at a thought.
"Hey 'Mione you can lean your head on me," Ron said happily. Hermione grew a little pink and nodded. She curled up and laid her head in his lap, and fell fast asleep in instants. Ron jovially stroked her head and returned to the conversation.
The rest of the train ride was pretty uneventful. Except for the game of exploding snap in which Harry got his eyebrows blown off because the cards set fire. He just smiled and tapped his face restoring them to their original lustre. Ginny and Ron were laughing up a storm until they woke Hermione up and she glared.
About fifteen minutes before they were scheduled to arrive to Hogsmead station, Ginny went to her compartment to get changed. Harry, Ron and Hermione all pulled their robes on and Ron and Hermione pinned their head boy and head girl badges on.
"C'mon guys let's go get a carriage to ourselves." Hermione said to Ron and Harry. They climbed out of the train and looked down at the little first years. Hermione smiled as she directed one of them to Hagrid. They have nothing to worry about, yet hopefully none of them will get hurt. Hermione thought sadly. They walked around to the carriages and found one that the only occupants were Ginny, Neville, and Luna. Ron climbed in first and helped Hermione in next, followed by Harry. They all sat down and began talking about their summers. Hermione was questionably quiet as she looked out of the window and into the blackening sky.
