"Hey!" Hermione screeched. Ginny had just jumped on her back, causing her to topple off the wood plank dock and into the little sparkling lake. She, Ginny, Ron, Fred, George, Bill, and Fleur were all spending the summer day at the lake that was not too far from the Burrow. Molly had packed them a basket with enough food for twice the amount of people and some towels and pushed them out the door just as soon as they'd put their swimsuits on.
"What?" Ginny asked. "It's not like you weren't about to get in any way!"
"That's not the- ugh, forget it!" Hermione huffed. She couldn't help a smile crossing her face, though. She knew that this was going to be one of the last days of life as she knew it, because when September first rolled around, she, Harry, and Ron were going to be on the run, looking for Horcruxes. Hermione pushed those thoughts to the back of her mind.
"Hey, Ron!" she yelled. He turned around, ears pink. Hermione grinned evilly before splashing a huge wave of water at his face. Ron yelped and ducked, but that didn't stop the water from whooshing over his head. He came up for air, spluttering and lunged for her. Soon, they were splashing and laughing and the others had joined the fight.
"Watch out!" Ginny said. Hermione turned around to see Fred coming at her, a grin on his face. Hermione scooted out of the way, but he grabbed her and tossed her over his shoulder.
"Put me down!" she complained. Fred ignored her and continued deeper into the lake. Bill and Fleur were watching them from the shore where they were talking and Ron was trying to rescue Hermione from Fred. When they were far into the lake, Fred dropped Hermione and swam away, laughing. Hermione came up, causing water to cascade down her hair. She started for shore, meeting Ron halfway.
"I'm going to kill Fred" she said. Ron laughed.
"I can tell. You have your 'I'm pissed' look on right now" he said.
"Wouldn't you be if you were just dumped unfairly in the middle of a lake?" Hermione asked.
"Eh" Ron said. Hermione rolled her eyes and flicked some water at him. They rejoined the others who were now sitting in the shallow water and talking. George looked up.
"Anyone want lunch?" he asked.
"Sure" Ginny said. They pulled out the basket and sat around, eating and talking and laughing. Hermione smiled. Merlin, she loved them all.
A/N: Not the greatest in my opinion. Anyway, R&RRRRRRRRRRRRR!
