A/N: I'd like to note that this is the summer right after fifth year. Harry lives with the Dursleys who, if you haven't noticed, don't fancy him mingling with magic folk more then he has to. Therefore, Hermione is the only guest actually spending a long amount of time at the Weasley's.

Chapter FourHermione plunked down on the bottom bunk of Ginny's bunk bed, while Ginny sat on the chair opposing her.
The bedroom walls were plastered with posters of famous witches and wizards, including Dumbledore, Merlin and Morgana. The brown shade of carpet seemed to somehow compliment the pink bed sheets.
Hermione grinned, "I love what you've done with the posters."
Ginny turned to gape at her wall as if she'd never seen it before in her life. "You really like it? Fred and George always told me that it looked similar to Neville's head."
Hermione stared at the assortment of posters again before laughing. "It does!"
Ginny wrinkled her nose. "Let's play a game," she suggested, her brain working overtime. "Truth or Dare." The girl lowered her body off the chair onto the floor.
Hermione's eyes widened for a moment before she mentally shook herself. "All right." At that she joined Ginny, cross-legged on the floor.
"Ok. I'll go first," announced Ginny. "Truth or dare?"
Hermione gulped. "Dare."
Ginny's eyes sparkled. "All right. You have to do the model walk down the hallway outside my room."
Hermione got to her feet and exited the room, going to the end of the hallway. She then turned and began to walk briskly down the hallway, attempting to keep a straight face while she flipped her hair. Her feet were placed directly in front of the other one when she took a step.
"Don't forget to pose at the end of your walk!" cheered Ginny, laughing.
Hermione reached the top of the stairs and stopped walking, sticking her hip out and placing her hand on it. She then flipped her hair one last time for good measure.
"Awesome!" laughed Ginny, arriving behind her friend. "But look at who saw you."
Hermione followed Ginny's finger and saw Ron halfway up the stairs, frozen in a state of shock.
"Bloody hell," the boy muttered, his eyes wide as watermelons.
Hermione's face grew hot as she turned and retreated into Ginny's room with Ginny in tow.
"That was awesome!" laughed Ginny, collapsing on the floor.
Hermione sat down in front of her friend, giggling. "Yeah, I guess it was."
Ginny's eyes met Hermione's. "Wasn't the expression on Ron's face priceless?"
Hermione snickered. "Yeah. Truth or dare?"
Ginny appeared to be in thought for a moment before replying. "Truth. I'm too scared of what you're going to do to me if I pick dare!"
Hermione smiled. "Who do you like nowadays?"
Ginny's eyes twinkled. "You know who!"
Hermione's smile grew wider. "Say it."
Ginny's cheeks turned pink as she cried. "I like Harry Potter!" Then, as an afterthought, she added, "Still."
Hermione nodded, satisfied. "And for the next round I choose truth."
Ginny gave a sigh of relief. This was what she was waiting for. "All right then Hermione. Who do you like? And remember you have to tell the truth, and nothing but the truth."
Hermione's mind was racing. Victor Crum? No, he was just a good friend. Harry? No he was also too good of a friend. Ron? "I…I don't know."
Ginny slapped her hand on her forehead. "Hermione! You have to tell the truth."
"But that is the truth!" insisted the brown-haired girl earnestly. "I don't know who I like."
"You don't know who you like, or you don't know how you feel about a certain someone?" asked Ginny excitedly.
Hermione bit her lip before mumbling. "I don't know how I feel about someone."
Ginny leapt to her feet and squealed. "Oh my gosh! Who?"
Hermione got to her feet as well. "Promise you won't tell a soul?"
Ginny rolled her eyes. "Of course not!"
Hermione leaned close and whispered her answer to Ginny.
