Waking up, I see the soft glow of dawn and an arm still laying across my waist. I realise that we must have slept like this all night, and I smile to myself. Carefully, I remove Ron's arm so that I don't wake him. While I put on pants, I can still hear his small snores. Smiling, I walk down stairs to find Harry at the kitchen table with Teddy playing with his stuffed dragon at his feet. He had turned his hair green, to match his dragon.
"Hey 'Mione." Harry mutters obviously still half asleep. I look around at the kitchen for food, but only see a little plastic blue bowl, which Teddy must have ate cereal with. Harry, although almost asleep, was watching him with a smile. He seemed to have a light in his eyes that was reserved solely for Teddy and Ginny.
"Have you eaten yet?" I ask him.
"No, I only fed Teddy." Shaking my head I put on the kettle and start to making breakfast. Enough for all of us since I knew the boys had to leave for Auror training at 9 and needed to eat something before they left. Ginny walks down the stairs looking amazing like always. It was just another thing that made me jealous of her. She walked up to Harry and he pulled her onto his lap. Luckily I had breakfast to make, so I didn't have to see them snog each other.
Just as I was about to finish breakfast, I see Ron come walking down the nose was raised as if he was a dog. It looks as if he had only woken up for food. As he came up to me and kissed my cheek, I saw that he could barely keep his eyes open. Placing the food on the table, I sat beside Ron, who served an enormous amount of food onto his plate. We all ate while listening to a new story Teddy had come up with. It was about how all dragons came from a small island and flew all across the world until they each found a home in a different country. It was why we have different kinds of dragons. For a two year old, he was an awfully good story teller.
After breakfast Ron and Harry went upstairs to get ready for the day of training. Ginny took Teddy home, so I was left to just sit with my thoughts for a few moments. I thought about what Ginny said yesterday, about how Ron hasn't proposed yet. Why hasn't he proposed? Is it because he it too nervous? Is it because he doesn't know how he feel about me? Or how I feel about him?
Interrupting my thoughts, I felt a quick kiss on the top of my head. I didn't hear Ron walk up, so I jumped a little when I felt it.
"What are you thinking about?" he asks me. Telling the truth and making him feel even more pressured to do something wasn't an option, so I lied and said "Just how I wanted to go on a bicycle ride. I haven't been on a bike since I was about ten. It might be nice for you and me to go."
He looks at me curiously and asks "What's a bicycle?" Laughing, I answer "It's like a broom, but it has wheels and pedals and handlebars. I looks kinda like Hagrid's motorbike, but smaller."
"Alright well I don't have training tomorrow, so we can go bicycle riding together then. Sound good?" I nod and his kisses me goodbye. "Me and Harry have to meet Neville at the ministry in a minute so I'll see you later." He takes a step backwards and diappartes. I look at where he was and smile.
After grabbing a book from the shelves that were much too bare for my liking, I sat down on the couch and started reading. It was called 'Quidditch Teams Through the Ages - The Bad and the Best'. Living with three people obsessed with Quidditch was hard, because even though I know rules, I don't understand their quarrels over which team is best. The only team I knew to root for were the gryffindors, back when we were at school. But now I have no clue who to cheer for. Well, except the Holyhead Harpies. The team Ginny was training for almost non-stop. She really wanted to become one of their chasers when the tryouts come in two months.
After reading for a little while, I decided to make myself a sandwich. As I was eating I decided to go and see Luna. Although she was wacky at times, I've grown to love her over the years. I sent an owl to her, asking if she wanted to meet for tea sometime today. About an hour later I get her response, and see that we can meet up at 3. Upstairs, I take a shower and pull on fresh clothes after. I clean up the bedroom for a little while, trying to keep up with Ron. I swear as soon as I fix one thing, he dirties another. It is honestly the most annoying thing about him (and trust me there are many things).
Finally it's 3 and I disapparate to Luna's. Her and Neville had just move into a new house together, and there were still packed boxes laying on the floor. I look around and see her sitting on the ground beside a box of clothes. I assumed they were her clothes, being colourful and having frilly edges and all. She was looking through glasses that were not for correcting her eyesight, but for seeing invisible creatures.
"Hello Hermione, I was just looking for Nargles. Seems like this blouse is filled with them. A shame, that shirt was very nice." She said, holding up a pink button up before tossing it aside.
"Hi Luna, how have you been?" I ask. Immediately she responded "Very lonely. Neville has been quite busy with his education, so I don't get to see him often." She said all this while continuing to sort her clothes in two piles.
"Me as well, Ron is at training 4 days a week, yet when he is home we always seem to be busy doing something with other people. Luckily though, we are going on a date tomorrow."
"Oh, that sounds just lovely. What will you be doing?" Luna asked, still sorting clothes.
"I'm taking him to a muggle town to go on a bicycle ride... Bikes are like non-magic brooms, except they don't fly." I say, remembering that she grew up in a magic household.
Me and Luna talked for a little while. I helped her unpack a couple boxes. But eventually it was almost time for the boys to get home, so I said goodbye and disapparated back home.
At home, I check the clock and see that it's 5:19, meaning it will be ten minutes till they get home. I start into the kitchen, when a smell hits my nose. Sausage and beans. Walking in, I see Ginny cooking dinner. Rarely does she ever cook supper, so I'm immediately cautious. The only time she actually does cook supper for us all, is when she has something big to tell us.
"Ginny… Why are you cooking?" She turns and looks at me. I see a small smile on her face. "Oh, no reason. Just thought that it was my turn to cook." I give her a look and she just turns back round.
Shaking my head I grab my book and start to read a the chapter 17. 'Bulgaria Over The Years'. I was just getting to the years involving Viktor Krum, when a swoosh and familiar voices fill the room. Looking up I see Ron walking over to me from the fireplace. He gives me a quick kiss on the top of the head and asks "What'cha reading?"
"Oh I'm just reading all about Viktor Krum." I respond with a smirk. Quickly Ron's ears start to turn red. He grabs the bookmark beside me and tucks it in the book. and kisses me hard on the lips. I can tell he is being possessive like at Bill and Fleur's wedding, except this time Viktor is no where near.
We only break apart when a yell from the kitchen calls us to come and eat. Shuffling in we find our seats and dish out our plates. Half way through the meal I notice Harry and Ginny's heads tucked together. They look up with shy smile.
"Ron, Hermione... Me and Harry have an announcement." I knew it! Ron glances at me nervously. Harry pipes up "Me and Ginny have decided to move into Grimmauld Place."
"Really! Oh I'm so happy for you." I exclaim.
Ginny answering the unasked questions, and says, "We had the idea a couple weeks ago, but didn't want to tell you until we were absolutely sure we were actually gonna move. It will probably a lot of hard work and we will be packing all our stuff up this week. And we might need help with all the things that need to be cleaned, removed and fixed at the place. So we wondered if you two wanted to help us?" I grinned and nodded my head, while Ron answered for both of us "That sounds brilliant!"
The rest of the night was full of laughter and plans for fixing the house and what needed to be done. It was relaxing spending a night with my 3 bestfriends. Not many of those seemed to be happening anymore, but hopefully with the move things will change.
Eventually Harry and Ginny went to bed, and me and Ron were left to talk. "Um..'Mione, what's a bicycle look like?" I got up from his arms, and went to the bookshelf. I found the book I was looking for and brought it down to Ron. I flipped through the pages until I found a picture of a bike. I explained how it worked and how you ride it, until I started to yawn.
Then he took the book from me, placed it back on the shelf, and picked me up into his arms. Giggling I said "Ron, I have my own legs and have been using them to walk since before I was a year old." Smiling he responded, "Yes, but this way I can hold you for as long as possible." He carried me up the stairs with considerable ease and I started to appreciate how much auror training has done to his physique.
I lay my head on his shoulder until we get into our room, where he places me on the bed amazingly gently. He kisses me softly and moves down to take off my socks. When he is finished he slowly takes of my trousers, then my blouse. He follows suit and takes his trousers and jumper off. He walks back over to me with a clean t-shirt of his in his hand. Sitting behind me, he takes off my bra, and throws it to the laundry basket. I feel his calloused hands slowly massaging my back and neck. He is so good that I can feel myself falling asleep. After a few minutes he takes the t-shirt and pulls is softly over my head. He kisses my neck when it's all the way on, and we lay down facing each other.
I can't help but run my fingers over his newly established abs. "Wow I'm really starting to like this auror training." I say and I hear him laugh quietly, pulling me closer. I place my head in the nape of his neck, falling asleep to the sound of his snores.
Hey Guys, I was thinking that I will post a new chapter every Monday and Friday! So look out for next chapter when Ron and Hermione go for a bike ride.
