Author's Note: This is my second attempt at fan fiction. I stopped writing the other one. I want this one to be a success. I didn't feel happy with that one. Okay well I am setting this story after sixth year. Even though it says that Sirius died and in the book that happened in fifth year I am making this the summer after sixth year. Hope you guys enjoy and please review at r0xydawls@yahoo.com

It was a hot summer day. Everyone in the neighborhood was practically inside due to the heat or off on vacation where the heat wasn't so unbearable. Everyone seemed to have a great summer except one lonely teenager who had nothing in common with the other teenagers in her neighborhood. She spent most of her time inside her room doing summer homework and reading big books that talked about magic, wizards, and spells. That teenage girl was Hermione Granger and currently she was sitting on her bed and re-reading the letter she had in her hand:

Dear Mione,

   How's your summer going? Mine isn't so great. Harry has hardly written to me. I know he's completely shattered. He just lost Sirius, who was practically the only family he had left. But it's still scary how he won't talk to me. Has he written to you? Anyway I was wondering if you would like to come over and stay at the Burrow for the rest of the summer. There is still a whole month left. I invited Harry but he has not replied yet. I miss you a lot. Hope to hear from you soon.

Love Ron

  Hermione sighed. Ever since Sirius had died last year during school, Harry wouldn't talk to neither her nor Ron. A lot had changed over the year. She had changed. She had never considered herself the normal girl interested only in the topics of hair, makeup, and boys. She was always the bookworm interested in intellectual subjects and schoolwork. She also was the girl with very bushy hair and a thin, scrawny body. She wasn't normal. However, that was last year. She had changed dramatically over the year physically as well as emotionally. Physically she had grown into a beautiful seventeen year old girl with light hazel eyes with a soft cream complexion.

Her hair was no longer bushy, but fell into soft, long, light brown curls, thanks to a new spell she had invented. Her body had changed the most. She had developed into places she didn't think she would ever have. First and foremost she had curves. She wasn't stick thin anymore. She had developed dangerously curvy hips and her waist line was now toned and muscular due to the training all fifth years and above were required to do now since Voldemordt had returned. She now had to buy newer bras since her breasts now were more fuller, firmer, and there was no other word for it, bigger. Emotionally she had changed as well. She swore she was more mature than her parents.

She dealed with death everyday last year and since she had started Hogwarts. Harry was constantly depressed and frankly she was beginning to feel depressed as well with everything that had been going on. A new thing that really changed emotionally was her attraction towards boys. Hermione never thought she would be attracted to boys. Well she did, but she always hated them. They were always interested in only sex and in her opinion were the less intelligent among the two genders. She was definitely interested in one boy though. She lifted up the letter again and re-read the two lines that made her heart flutter. "I miss you a lot" and Love Ron.  Hermione sighed again and lay on her bed with the letter clutched to her heart. She was totally falling for him and she knew there was no way out of  it.

Hermione stood up and made her way to her desk where she took out two pieces of parchment. She quickly wrote a letter to Harry practically pleading him to go to the Burrow. Next, she began writing her letter to Ron. She picked up her quill and absent mindedly tickled her lower cheeks and chin with the feathers at the end.

After a while in deep thought she exclaimed outloud, "I can't believe I am turning into Lavender and Parvati who take their entire academic time studying how to write a letter to a boy they fancy instead of studying for their N.E.W.T's and here I am HERMIONE GRANGER PREFECT doing EXACTLY the same thing! I can't believe I am falling for Ron Weasley!" Exasperated, she put her face in her hands ashamed and remained there for a couple of seconds. After a while she decided that she would write to him the way she would always write to him. As his friend. She inked her quill and began to write:

Dear Ron,

    I know it is very terrible that Harry is completely ignoring us. I know he's hurting, but I do not see why he won't let his two best friends help him. I just wrote to him asking if he would come and go to the Burrow. How have you been by the way? My summer is so boring. My parents hardly pay any attention to me and I can't wait till I am at your house. Is tomorrow to soon? If it is just tell me, but please tell me when I can come because I am dying of boredom here. Hope to see you soon.

Love Mione

P.S. I miss you too Ron
