A Summer Never To Be Forgotten

A/N: okay I obviously do not own Harry Potter (Sobs) I can only admire Rowling's work and try be as good a writer as she is (although I obviously fail at that).

The Beginning

Ron's summer was starting off very boring. To his dismay all there was to do was help his mom in the kitchen or de-gnome the garden. He was actually considering starting on his homework. He couldn't take it anymore. He quickly dashed into the kitchen where his mom was preparing lunch.

"Mum, could I please invite Harry and Hermione earlier? I'm practically dying of boredom." Ron complained to his mother.

"Well Ron, dear, you might not be so bored if you helped out around the house you know" was his mother's reply.

"But, mum! Think about it," Ron said in an unusually whiney voice "I'll be all alone without them. Ginny's going to be staying with her friend all summer and I hardly ever spend time with Fred and George because they're always in their room. And they're the spawn of the devil" Ron added under his breath.

"Well, you're right. And they do stay here at the end of the summer right? So why not the whole summer?" said Molly. "Write them and if it's not an inconvenience for Hermione's parents and Harry's aunt and uncle then it is perfectly fine with me."

"Thanks so much mum" Ron said.

He kissed Mrs. Weasley on the cheek and ran upstairs with a huge grin on his face.

As soon as he got upstairs he got a piece of parchment and a quill and quickly, but carefully dipped the quill into a bottle of ink.

Harry,

I am extremely bored and mum said I could invite you and Hermione early so write me back immediately okay.

Your desperate friend,

Ron

P.S. Are the muggles treating you well? Or is Dudley threatening to sit on you again?

Ron enveloped the letter and set it down and got another piece of parchment and quickly wrote to Hermione



Hermione,

I'm really bored please come over for the rest of the summer. I know it's a bit early in the summer to write this letter but I need company.

Love,

Ron

He enveloped and signed both of the letters then gave them to pig to send off.

Then he plopped down on his bed and thought about how interesting the summer would be.

Hermione was lying in her bed, resting up before dinner when pig excitedly flew in.

"Pig calm down!" Hermione squealed, trying to stop the bird from literally bouncing off the walls. When the bird finally became calm enough to get the letter she quickly ripped it open and read it quickly.

She was very happy when it said Ron wanted her to stay with him over the summer.

I always thought it would be nice if he felt for me the way I feel about him. But maybe I'm reading way too much into this. Hermione thought, but soon after she shook it off and dashed downstairs to ask her parents for permission to stay at Ron's.

"Mum," Hermione panted.

"Yes dear." Her mother replied not looking up from what she was doing.

"I know it's really early in the summer but I was wondering if I could spend the rest of it at Ron's house." She asked giving her mother the puppy dog face

"Well, I suppose so." Hermione's mum replied with a bit of a disappointed look on her face, but it disappeared almost a second after it came.

Hermione tightly hugged her mother and quickly ran upstairs once again almost breaking her neck. She grabbed a quill and a piece of parchment and wrote the reply almost as fast as you can say Quidditch.

Ron,

My mum said it was okay and I can come. I really look forward to seeing you and I hope you can live another twenty-four hours because that's when I'm coming, in one day.

Best Wishes,

Love,

Hermione



After that she addressed it to Ron and sent it on its way. Hoping this summer would be the summer she would pluck up enough courage to tell Ron how she felt.

Ron woke up the next morning to see Fred and George hovering over him.

"Hello Ickle Ronnikens!" Fred said with a mischievous smile on his face.

"Oh, would you look at that Fred, little Ronnie fell asleep with a letter." George said.

It was true. Ron had received it last night and read it until he fell asleep. But before he could reply George snatched the letter out of his hand and read it aloud imitating Hermione's voice.

Ron,

My mum said it was okay and I can come. I really look forward to seeing you and I hope you can live another twenty-four hours because that's when I'm coming, in one day.

Best Wishes,

Love,

Hermione

"Aw, look Fred she signed it with love." said George while Fred was making kissy noises in Ron's face.

"C'mon guys it's not even like that." Ron said holding in the blush that was threatening to creep upon his face.

"Right, so you're telling me you don't like Hermione?" Fred said with a look of disbelief.

"Yes" Ron tried to lie, but the blush just would not stay down this time. In about five seconds. His face was nearly tomato red.

"You almost got away with it little bro," Fred started.

"But the blush says it all" George finished.

At that Ron said nothing. Anger was boiling inside of him. Fred and George would never stop teasing now. They had practically struck gold.

"Seriously Ron I don't know what you're ashamed of," George said.

"Yeah, Hermione's a real looker. Smart too!" Fred said laughing.

Ron had enough. He grabbed a pillow and furiously threw it a Fred missing and hitting Mrs. Weasley directly in the face.

"Ronald Weasley!" Mrs. Weasley screamed. "How dare you throw things in this household? You throw another thing and I will send your friends straight home as soon as they get here!"

"You mean friend mum." George said with the same smile Fred had previously.

"Yeah, Harry isn't coming." Fred finished what George was saying.

"How do you know" Ron said already knowing the answer.

"We read your mail of course." George said handing him the letter.

Ron was extremely angry but decided to worry about that later wanting to quickly read the letter.

Ron,

I'm really sorry but I won't be allowed to see you this summer or at least until the end of it. The Dursley's want to torture me as long as possible before sending me off. Your soon to be dead friend,

Harry

P.S. Please pray for me.

Ron heart dropped and lifted at the same time when he realized he'd be spending the whole entire summer (well really most of it) with Hermione.

A/N: So do you like it? Does it suck? Either way please review but go easy on it I beg of you!
