Ron's Big Surprise!

"Ron please pick up your broom stick off the floor", Mrs. Weasly said as she walked past.

"Where can she be?" Ron asked wearily while pacing around the living room.

"You know your going to make a hole if you keep doing that" Harry said pointing at the floor.

"Ron! Errol just arrived with a letter addressed to you!" George said as he walked in.

"It looks like it's from Hermione! Your little sweetie! Bet there's lots of lipstick kisses on that", Fred chuckled.

"Knock it off!" Ron cried as he snatched the letter from George's grip. Ron just stared at it.
"Well are you going to open it or not?" Harry said popping out from behind the couch.

"What were you doing behind there?"

"Crookshanks stole my model Nimbus 2000."

"I never liked that cat....wait! Crookshanks is here? That means..."

"Hi Ron!" "Hermione! You're here!" Ron cried joyfully as he pulled Hermione into a hug.

"I thought this would be a nice way to come in."

It was the end of the line for them Hogwarts was over. They had graduated a month ago. She had come for the summer.

When they parted Ron looked at her with an open mouth. He had just noticed how pretty she was.

She had her hair down to her mid-back it was sleek and shiny. With blonde highlights. Ron probably had never even noticed that year, since she always had her hair up. She was thin but not to thin and she was tall not as tall as him or Harry but she was tall. Her big brown eyes were glittering and her smile was so dazzling even the fairies would be jealous.

She looked at him puzzled. "What are you staring at? It's not like you've never seen me for a while. We only graduated like a month ago."

"Oh sorry, I was just wondering why you sent me a letter." Ron said dully. "Well I guess you'll have to read it won't you?"
