A/N: Beginning of a new story. Please Read and Review!
School was over at last. Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry had finally closed its sacred halls for the summer, much to the joy of the 7th year students. Every person, even Hermione Granger, was excited for the new chapter in their lives to open, however, the exciting transition had to occur first: Summer.
Ron jogged up to Hermione, his trunk dragging behind him. "You're going to Lavender's Party right?" He asked, although he was fully aware that he had asked Hermione at least twice before and she had said that she was.
"For the last time Ron," She scoffed, annoyed, "Yes, I am going." Her eyes rolled in her head, sick of the never ending jabber of her ginger-haired friend.
"Lay off her mate." Remarked Harry from the other side of Hermione. "You've asked her, what, 20 times?"
"I have not!" Said Ron, flushing his trademark color of red. "Honestly, why don't you just leave me and Hermione alone. Go snog my sister of something."
Harry tried to keep his temper in check. "Ron, for the last time, your sister almost poisoned me with amortentia! We more than broke up months ago!"
Ron rolled his eyes at the inconvenience of his baby sister doing a thing like that. Harry and Ginny were both fine so nothing was wrong. "Whatever." He said, in a female-like tone.
The trio neared the trains and got in one compartment. Hermione and Harry shared a look while Ron got up not five minutes after they started moving stating that he was bored.
As he left Hermione anxiously looked to Harry. "Ok, here's the plan."
"Plan? What plan?"
Hermione shook her head, "You don't honestly believe that I'd leave you with the Dursleys until you were officially allowed to do magic right? I've been talking to Dumbledore for months and we have charms and spells and, well really everything that could stop Voldemort from getting to you."
"Wait, where exactly am I staying then? The Burrow?"
"Of course not Harry! I'm not leaving you alone with that wrench any longer. I'm not forgetting she almost poisoned you! Why, you're staying at my house!"
Harry was dumbfounded. "Wait, your house? With… with your parents and everything?"
"Well, I don't think my parents are that horrible!" She said, looking a little dejected. "I mean, they were getting excited about meeting 'the' boy I talk to constantly. But, of course, I mean if you don't want to, I don't want to pressure you. It's all your choice."
Harry spoke quickly after Hermione did saying, "No, no, I'd love to stay with you and your parents. Of course I'd want to!" He gave her a short hug and Hermione beamed.
"Well that's great! My parents will be picking us up at the…" She stopped at Ron' sudden arrival and shout.
"Wait! What's this about you and Harry and your parents and…" He ran out of things to say. "Harry's going with you?" He said disbelivingly.
"Well he's for sure not going to your house. Once again, Ginny tried to kill him. My home is the safest and most comfortable place there is at the moment." There was no arguing with this side of Hermione. Her mind was set and there was no changing it.
The rest of the train passed quickly. Ron sulked. Harry was inwardly excited and Hermione was both inwardly and outwardly excited.
At last the train lurched to a halt in front of the Kings Cross station. Ron gave a pitiful flare at Hermione, and then a confused look at Harry. "C'mon Harry, at least come say hello to my mother!" He pleaded.
Harry agreed and walked off the train. Not four seconds after he left the steps he was engulfed in a signature 'Molly Weasley' hug, more like tackle. "Oh Harry my dear! I hope you had a wonderful time at Hogwarts." Said Molly, then glancing at Ron and clicking her tongue. "Ronald Weasley, you have chocolate all over your face! Let me fix it!" She licked her thumb and pushed against Ron's mouth and cheeks.
Ron blushed and pushed his mother away with an embarrassed look. "Mom!" He groaned out loud.
Just as Hermione was rolling her eyes at Ron's antics, Molly took Harry by the arm. "Now, Harry m'dear. Arthur and I will be at the Dursleys on July 16th, you need to be all ready to leave and we'll talk with your…" She didn't finish the sentence because Harry interrupted. "Sorry Mrs. Weasley, but Hermione's parents first offered a room and everything I'd need at their house and I accepted.
Molly looked pissed, but didn't take any action against Harry. "Well if you think that's best for you…" She muttered reluctantly.
"Thanks Mrs. Weasley!" Harry yelled, as he got pulled away into the line to cross the border into the regular muggle station.
"Come on Harry! My parents are waiting." Hermione had a large grin on her face as she got to the front of the line and swept through the wall.
Harry couldn't help smiling with her because the smile was infectious. As he raced his way up to the brick wall he said softly to himself, "Well, here goes something!"
A/N: New chapters will be added as fast as I can churn them out! Please review!
