The young couple walked contentedly down the street. Hermione waved to many people in down the street. She seemed to be friendly with almost everybody.

"I thought you didn't have any friends , 'mione? I thought that's why you decided to come to Hogwarts," Ron asked. Hermione slapped Ron with a horrid look on his face. "What?"

"Your incorrigble" Hermione huffed, a smile playing on her lips. Ron rubbed the spot on his arm and gave her an upset look. They stopped at a small store on the corner. Hermione bought the necessities: milk, cereal, some fruit, baby food, and diapers. They rolled the cart to the front of the store and paid with the 'odd muggle money'.

The two traveled next door to a shop that Hermione thought Ron would enjoy. The name was Music Town. It was a small building that had a cozy appeal. Hermione told Ron to looked around, she said she had a CD she wanted to look for. Ron had no idea what a "CD" was but went with it. Hermione showed him how to use the headphones. He listened to the music and marveled at the muggle technology. Eventually he got bored of the music and began to meander about the shop. He could hear some girls talking

"Did you see her?"

"Yeah, that's that Granger girl that left to go to some high class school..."

"She probably thinks she's all that..." Ron could see Hermione. She could obviously hear them but was keeping a strait face.

"She still is such a loser..."

"I bet she still a book nerd..." Ron nearly crushed the case as he put the CD back onto the rack. This got the girls attention. They giggled and began whispering. He couldn't stand it. These girls were so stupid. Why did they have to act so mean? He heard the girls talking, edging another on.

"Go! Go!" They said pushing one towards him.

"Um... Excuse me," The girl said softly.

"I'm sorry I have to go," He said quickly. He moved around the girls and over to Hermione. "Are you ready to go 'Mione?" Ron asked. She nodded and they left the other girls gaping. As they got outside Hermione sighed.

"Is that how they treated you in your old school?" Ron asked.

"Yeah... Pretty much," She said. Ron saw a tear fall and hit the pavement. He grabbed Hermione and pulled her to his chest.

"I'm sorry 'Mione. I had no idea," He comforted her and let her calm down. As she pulled away he smiled at her, "I don't know about you but I'm starving. Lets get something to eat!"

"Okay," Hermione said wiping her eyes. They walked to a small cafe to have a sandwitch and some tea. They laughed and talked about what her muggle life was.

As they finished their errands they walked home silently. They opened the door to find Elizabeth playing with her toy blocks and Tiffany asleep on the couch. The two teens sniggered. Hermione shook her shoulder lightly and asked her ot wake up.

"Hmm? Oh 'ello... heheh... guess I took a nap... Well we made it by pretty well... I guess I better go... Payment?" Tiffany said laughing at herself.

"Mum and Dad said they would pay you if you come back tomorrow," Hermione smiled.

"Okay. I'll be going then. Nice to meet you Ron. See you tomorrow Hermione," With that the teen disappeared out the of the door way and into the night.

"She's really funny when you get to know her. Her father is American and her mother is British," Hermione picked Elizabeth up to go into the kitchen. She made a bottle for her.

"What are you going to do?" Ron asked.

"I'm goingt to go put her to bed for the night. You can go to your room to check it out and get comfortable," Hermione went into the nursery to rock Elizabeth and Ron headed upstairs. He saw the sign for Hermione's room and had to force himself from going in there. He headed to his room and plopped down on the bed to contiplate the day. He thought how comfortable it felt to comfort Hermione. It just felt... right. He wanted to do it again. He wanted to hold her. He wanted to be hers.

Rons eyes flew open and sat up. Where had those thoughts come from? Was that how he really felt?

"No," He said to the mirror Ron," I'm just a growing young man. I'm going through puberty. I'm sure all boys have these thoughts!" He made himself feel better with his own words. He got ready for bed and went to sleep not wanting to think on the subject any more.
