Ron could hear the train coming now. He smiled to himself. He couldn't wait to see his beautiful girlfriend again. He had taken to counting the days off on a chart in his office at work. The train ground to a halt, and Ron could see all the smiling students, pushing their ways through to be the first off the train and see their much-missed parents.
Ron waited a few minutes, and then saw the sight he had been waiting for since January, when Hermione had returned back to Hogwarts. He could see her beautiful thicket of hair bobbing along above the crowd. Ron jumped up and down, trying to catch her attention. She caught sight of him. All of a sudden, she broke into a run and launched herself at Ron. Her eyes were brimming with tears.
"I've missed you so much," she sobbed.
"Me too," he smiled back.
Just then, a shock of red hair turned up at their side.
"Where's Harry?" she demanded. Ron and Hermione broke apart.
"On a raid" Ron replied, "he'll be back tomorrow morning,"
They left the station, Ginny left her cases with them, turned the corner, and apparated.
"So that's what she learnt this term, then?" Ron sighed.
They waited a few minutes, then a car arrived for them. It was black, and the hood ornament was an ornate 'M'.
"You hired a Ministry car?" Hermione asked, smiling.
"The driver owes me and dad, anyway," Ron replied. The boot sprang open, and Ron put in the trunk. Both getting into the back, Ron asks:
"Alright, Murdoch?"
"Yeah, not so bad. This your girlfriend? You're right, she is pretty." Hermione smiled.
"What have you been saying about me?" She asked incredulously, eyebrows raised. He could tell, however, that she was flattered. Ron wanted to ask many things about the school year, but he could tell she wasn't ready yet. She had fallen asleep on Ron's shoulder.
