Hey guys! Sorry I'm taking so long to update. I'm on a trip so this is a filler. Umm, school will start soon. Ya! That means more time to update (I'm so weird)! Enjoy!
Updated version.
2 Years Later
Ginny and Hermione were having a grand time at Diagon Alley. It was a blistering day, two weeks before school started again.
"Its really hot today," Ginny said, as she wiped off the sweat from her forehead, using her sleeve.
"I know. Why don't we just get some ice cream?" Hermione gestured to the ice cream shop a few stops down. Nodding her head in agreement, Ginny walked down the alley with Hermione along side her.
"So, how are things going with Ron?"
"Absolutely nothing honestly."
"What do you mean? I thought you guys have been together since the war."
"Ginny, aren't you his sister? Shouldn't you know this?"
"Hermione, a lad rarely let's his sister into his love life."
"Ya, but I thought he would have at least mentioned something about us."
"Why would you care?" Ginny stopped in front of Hermione blocking her way.
"I don't"
"Wait a second, does this mean? No-"
"Never mind, I-"
"You don't know." It wasn't a question but a simple statement, one that had Hermione captured and gave her no choice but to nod. "Why-"
"He hasn't asked me yet."
"Hasn't asked you?"
"He hasn't asked me."
"But don't you guys hang out? You know- passionate snogs in the corner or in the bedroom?"
"No, nothing. In fact he hasn't said anything about the kiss . It's been a two years, Ginny, I've given up."
"What? No! Why don't you just ask him? You know, take initiative?"
"Thats's the thing, Ginny. I feel like I've taken too much initiative. I was the one who always owled first, called first. I just feel like if he likes me he'll come to me this time." Ginny nodded and stepped away from Hermione, both silent, they continued to walk to the ice cream parlor.
Walking into the ice cream parlor was always a treat for Hermione. The store smelled different everyday, from chocolate frogs to mint chocolate chip. Today, the shop smelled like the relaxing scent of vanilla.
"What do you want?" Ginny asked.
"Mmmm. I'm thinking chocolate sundae. You?"
"Mint chocolate chip."
"What would you like to order girls?" Sae, the witch who owned the parlor, was one hundred-one years old. Though with her old age she still looked good. Her hair tied into a bun showed streaks of white . Her face showed no signs of wrinkles. With her tall, tanned complexion, and a body dressed in a simple blue witch coat, no one could have possibly guessed how old she was without her telling them.
"Vanilla and a chocolate sundae, please," Hermione said as she took out her pouch from her shorts.
"No charge."
"But-"
"I can't thank you girls enough for ending the war."
"At-"
"No" Sae handed them their desserts that made themselves. "Just take it. Have a nice day."
Both girls left the store without a word, both too busy with their desserts to talk.
"So, I assume you got your Hogwarts letter." Ginny said after a long silence. They both had finished their desserts and had resulted to sitting down on a bench to watch people pass by.
"Yup." Hermione said excitingly. "Guess what else I got?"
"What?" Ginny couldn't help but be enthusiastic.
"Guess!" Hermione shouted, creating attention to herself.
"Shh. Geez woman."
Hermione lowered her voice. "Guess."
"New hot teacher in school?"
"No."
"You're in charge of cleaning Hogwarts?"
"Even better."
"Well spit it out woman!" Ginny hit Hermione lightly.
"I'm the new Head Girl." Hermione said excitingly, almost bursting out of her seat. Ginny burst out laughing. "What?"
"Hermione, everyone knew that you would be Head Girl one day. It was a known fact since one word came out of your mouth." Ginny wiped the tears off her face and looked at her watch. "Bloody hell, Hermione! It's already two o'clock! We've gotta get shopping before the stores close!"
"What do you need to get?" Hermione said as she jumped out of the chair and looked through her purple, two-pocket purse.
"A lot of things. Let's just split up and talk later."
"Ok. See you later!" Hermione walked away from Ginny and into Flourish and Botts, totally unaware of a figure standing and watching her.
Thanks.
