Chapter 2

After a slight argument with Mr and Mrs. Dursley in which Mad Eye had to get personally involved again, Harry, Ron and Hermione were on their way to Number 4 Privet Drive. As they pulled into the neighborhood Ron looked around in amazement at how the houses all looked the same and more than that, all of them stood up straight. Hermione couldn't help but laugh when she got a look at his face, she had forgotten how lost he would be. She nudged Harry in the ribs with her elbow and when he looked round she cocked her head towards Ron. Harry gave a small smile before turning back to the window.

When they got to the house the Dursley's ushered them extremely quickly for fear of the neighbors seeing them return with three odd teenagers instead of the one expected. Once they were in the house Petunia was straight in the kitchen to begin her compulsive cleaning. Vernon gave Harry one last nasty look before going to his newspaper. Harry shook his head and beckoned them wordlessly up the stairs and down the hall.

"I'm not exactly sure how were going to working out the sleeping thing-I suppose Ron can conjure another bed in here-" Hermione snorted and Ron gave Harry a doubtful look. "Okay then, Hermione can do it but the point is that I don't know where Hermione is going to sleep"

"She can sleep with me" said a sly voice from the door.

"Go away Dudley." said Harry spinning towards his cousin.

"Aren't you going to introduce me?" asked Dudley.

"I'll do it" interrupted Ron before Harry could even open his mouth. "This is Hermione" he said jabbing his thumb towards her and then taking a step forward he said "And I'm the one who will kill you if you come within a foot of her. Get it?"

"Right" said Dudley in a considerably higher pitched voice than when he entered the room. Harry took his arm and steered him out the door. "Nice to see you" he said before slamming the door in Dudley's face.

Ron and Harry both turned to face Hermione who was as red as Ron was. They caught each others gaze and held it for just a moment. Then Harry cleared his throat and broke them out of their reverie.

"So anyway" he said "what do you want to do about the sleeping arrangements then?"

"Well I suppose I'll just stay in here" She said with as much dignity as she could muster. Harry and Ron stared at her, mouth's agape. She straightened up and gave them a challenging look "Is there a problem?"

"Well, its just that, errr, don't you think that your errr, parent may have a problem with that?"

Said Ron carefully.

"Well I suppose they might but during this coming year I'm sure that there will be other times when the sleeping arrangements will be...tight."

Harry and Ron laughed but ron seemed more uncomfortable than Harry was. "Alright then" said Harry. "Ill leave you two to get to the unpacking and setting up and ill just go downstairs and make us some lunch.

Hermione and Ron nodded and they turned to their respective trunks and began to unpack. Ron stole a look behind him and found that he could get a good glimpse of Hermione's arse. He turned himself fully around and sat on Harry;'s bed to enjoy the view. Unfortunately the bed creaked when he sat on it and Hermione whipped her head around.

"What are you doing Ronald" she asked sharply. He turned a deep shade of crimson and opened his mouth but then closed it again apparently having nothing to say.

"Were you just staring at my bottom?" asked Hermione incredulously.

Ron just stood there looking like a deer caught in headlights.

Lucky for him Harry chose that moment to bring up a tray of sandwiches. "What's the matter" he said glumly after seeing the situation before him.

"I do believe I just caught Ronald staring at"

Ron shot Hermione a pleading look clearly saying Please don't tell him

"my things, as I took them out of his trunk, I got angry that he wasn't doing his job." she finished lamely.

"Honestly Hermione, is it that big a deal, its only his trunks" said Harry.

"Oh I suppose not." she said calmly but she still shot Ron a look before turning around to her trunk.

"Well lets have lunch and well finsish later" said Harry not picking up on the tension.

"I don't have much of an appetite." said Ron quietly.

"No I expect you're quite full" snapped Hermione. She stalked out of the room before they could stop her.

"What was that about?" asked Harry, confused.

"Maybe she thinks I ate too much on the train." said Ron, thinking quickly.
