Chapter One
As Hermione laid in her bed all she could think of was tomorrow when she would be going back to school at Hogwarts for her 6th year. As she was closing her eyes trying to go to sleep, she was all too excited. She sat up and got out of bed, to get a glass of milk thinking that it would help her get to dream-state. As she crawled back into bed the thought of her and Ron popped into her head. It shot chills down her spine and she trembled with the feel of desire. She finally feel asleep and dreamt of her and Ron in the sands by the ocean.
The morning came all too quickly, as Hermione got to the platform 9 3/4. She was greeted by Harry and Ron as she was getting onto the train. It was their 6th year together and they sat in their same cabin as always.
"Morning Ron" said Harry.
"Morning." replied Ron staring at Hermione. "What?" asked Hermione noticing Ron watching her as she pulled out the newest edition of Warlocks and Witches from her bag.
"Nothing...why do you always read all the time?" asked Ron, "Especially those textbooks from school"
"Well, I like studying if it is okay with you!" exclaimed Hermione.
"Stop it you two!" Harry said gazing at Ginny.
The trolley came down the aisle and blocked Harry's view. "Anything from the trolley, dears?" Asked the gray haired lady. As Ron and Harry got their goodies and sat back down, Ron reached in his pocket and pulled out a chocolate covered ring. He then nudged Hermione and she gasped. "What is this?" asked Hermione, with a surprised look on her face.
"It is for you...I just wanted you to know that I thought of you over the summer." whispered Ron.
Hermione was speechless. She focused on the ring, and then back at Ron. She couldn't believe that he would do something so kind for her. Ron put his head down like a dog in shame. His cheeks redden. He did not know how Hermione would react to his gift. "Ron, it is very sweet of you." thanked Hermione. "Bloody hell Ron, you have finally came to your senses." cut in Ginny standing in the door way of the cabin.
"Bugger off!" replied Ron.
Hermione turned away from Ron as he and Ginny were arguing with each other over who was the most mature. As Hermione glanced out the window she couldn't help but to think of what her life would be like with Ron. Next year will be their last year and she has always wanted to teach at Hogwarts. They could live in a village near Ron's family, and Ginny would be her sister, and she has always wanted a sister. She thought about what their children would look like.
Her daydream was interrupted by Ginny's laugh. Hermione turned to face Harry and Ginny and she could see how truly happy they were. She wanted that kind of happiness with Ron. As she was gazing at Ron, she noticed how much he had changed from last year. His hair was longer, his cheeks that were once chubby are now slender to match his body. He had grew about 2 inches and his blue eyes were now bluer. She also noticed that he had bigger arms, muscular, along with his stomach that she could see as his navy shirt rubbed against it. He no longer was this rude boy that just happen to be her friend, he was turning into a man right before her eyes. Ron did not see her observing him at all. He was still sitting with his head down and looking at a new broom magazine for Quidditch this year. He had secret plans of maybe trying out this year to impress Hermione. He remembers how Krum was and how much Hermione liked him. He did not want to be restrained as 'Harry's friend the boy who knows nothing.' He yearned to be more, and this year he wanted to make a difference, he wanted Hermione's heart. As they were both so deep in thought, they arrived at Hogwarts faster than usual. The train came to a stop and everyone was up and gathering their things in chaos. Hermione got up in a hurry and bumped into Ron who looked at her in that moment. "Sorry." she said.
"No problem." replied Ron not minding at all.
"We should hurry, I can't want to see Hagrid!" exclaimed Ginny who was next to Harry in the cabin.
They managed their way through the crowd, seeing their old friends, Luna and Neville, also seeing students they aren't so fond of; Draco, Pansy, Goyle, and Crabbe. Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione got off of the train before any arguments could occur. Carrying their trunks behind them they could smell the ending of summer's scent and the beginning of a new school year at the Witchcraft and Wizardry. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
