Once Upon A Dream

Chapter 2

The train ride wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but our arrival at the Burrow turned to be a bit sadder than I expected.

"'Mione" I heard a voice yell as Harry and I arrived at the path to the house. A smallish red headed girl grabbed me and I received a huge hug. "I love the new look. Very cool. You look like one of those Muggle movie star's."

"Thanks Ginny." I picked up my bag from where I dropped it. I looked over and saw Harry and Ginny wrapped up in a snogging session.

"Would you two get a room? Please?" I start to giggle. They look so cute together.

Ginny gives me a smug smile. "I think I could arrange that. After all we are at my house."

Harry starts blushing profusely.

"I don't think that would be a good idea." He replies. "Where is Ron at?"

Ginny points to a lighted bedroom window. "He is in his room, like usual. He has been in there non-stop since the end of June. He will barely even leave to eat dinner." She shoots me a sad smile.

"I heard him cry for a long time last night, Mione. Especially after I read your owl at dinner that said you would be on the 5 pm train." She grabbed one side of my bag.

"I'll help you bring your stuff upstairs. Then mom should have dinner ready. She is glad that you could both come. It's too bad that Neville couldn't make it."

Neville made up the fourth person in the Fab four. He really became part of our group last year after the whole incident with the poison.

"Yeah, it is too bad. But I don't think I would have turned down a trip to the Wizard Botanical and Medicinal Gardens if I was him."

We arrive at Ginny's room. I send a wistful glance at the door to Ron's room. Not realizing I was speaking out loud I stated, "I wish Ron wasn't so mad at me for just wanting to be friends."

Realizing that I had spoken out loud I turned towards Ginny. She looks at me.

"I read your owl to Ron. And I am totally with your decision. After all if you and Ron had dated and then broken up, it would have been a little odd."

"Then why do I feel so bad if everyone supports me?" I set my bag on her floor.

"Because you hurt your friend. And he didn't realize that it was for the best until 5 minuets ago." I snap my head up at that voice. Ron is standing in the doorway.

"Mother just told me to get you two. Dinner will be ready soon and she wants us to all set the table out in the garden." He turns and walks down the hallway.

Ginny shoots me a look.

"At least he doesn't hate you anymore."

I start to giggle. "Yeah and it could be worse. He could have cursed me until next Tuesday."

We head down the stairs and go outside.

~~~~*********~~~~~~

Dinner seemed odd with only the four remaining Wesley's and Harry and myself. The twins were off looking for new things to add to their joke shop. Percy had a date with Penelope and Bill and Charlie were working in Romania and Canada. The one looking for some escaped dragons that were toasting most of Canada, and the other was doing Gringotts business. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley almost seemed glad to have the extra two of us.

After dinner Harry and Ron got out their brooms and were playing a bit of one-on-one Quidditch while Ginny and I watched.

"I hope we have a normal year this year." Ginny commented as Ron and Harry decided to bring out the snitch Harry had brought.

"Ha. With our luck we should just hope for a half way normal year." I said as I watched Harry grab the snitch from above Ron's head.

"Yeah I know what you mean." She smiled as she continued " but it should be good, After all we are all still friends, and friends even make the hard times better."

Mrs. Weasley stuck her head out the door. "Time for bed kids, it's already 11."

We all headed into the house and started to get ready for bed.

I caught Ginny and Harry snogging again and decided that a large invisible water balloon was in order. I conjured up one and threw it at them, soaking the two of them.

I managed to duck the spells that they sent back and jumped into bed, falling asleep almost instantly.



A/n Draco will come into play in the next chapter soon. And so will Hermione's past as well as her future.

I will be using Draco and Hermione both in first person so you can get the feel of both characters.
