A/N: How did you like the last Chapter? Interesting, huh? I have decided upon reading your pleading requests to post this chapter so here you are my readers. Enjoy! Anyway, for those that don't know dullard is another word for stupid, dumb, or idiot.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. Now an original limerick I wrote about a bloodsucking annelid worm:
There once was and albino leach,
All his friends called him bleach.
Didn't like this at all,
And grabbed some salt,
And then was found dead on the beach.
Oh... How nice…
When we last left our beloved character: "Ronald has been arrested."
"What!?" Hermione, Ginny, and Harry all yelled.
"What did that nutter do this time?" Ginny asked, ignoring the sharp looks from Hermione and Harry.
"Well apparently he-," she stopped and put the phone to her ear again. "Oh, I'm sorry officer. Yes. Yes. Okay we will be there soon. Thank you." She hung up. "Grab your coats; we have to go down to the station."
The Grangers, Harry, and Ginny got in the car and drove to the Police station in Randwick. Before Mr. Granger had even parked, Hermione leaped out of the car and ran inside.
"Where is he?" she panted to a nearby officer.
"Ma'am calm down. Who are you looking for?"
"Ronald Weasley. He has red hair, blue eyes, around six feet, British, probably swearing and yelling a lot."
"Ah, yes. One moment please," the policeman said before walking over and talking to another officer. Meanwhile Mr. & Mrs. Granger, Harry and Ginny came through the door.
"What's going on?" Harry asked her.
"I don't know. They haven't told me anything," she told him worriedly.
"Okay miss, this way," the officer said to her, gesturing to her to follow him. "We moved him to an interrogation room." He led them to a small room. As Hermione entered she could see Ron sticking his jaw out and muttering things under his breath, as another officer asked him questions.
"Do you think that sneaking into old ladies hotel rooms is funny?!" the man asked getting into Ron's face. Ron just sat there with is arms crossed, apparently not threatened by this. Hermione could see the sweat rolling down the officer's forehead, obviously frustrated that he could not scare Ron.
"You think you're all tough, don't you? I have seen things you couldn't imagine, boy," he said leaning over the table.
Ron finally spoke up. "I have seen and done things you can't even comprehend, but you probably can't comprehend a lot of things," he said getting up in the officer's face.
"Are you admitting to something?"
"No. I never said they were bad things," he said continue to stay in the man's face.
"You never said they weren't."
"Sergeant Dullard?" the officer helping Hermione interrupted. Ron leaned back and snickered.
"You think my name is funny boy?"
"Sergeant Dullard!"
"Coming Inspector," Sergeant Dullard said through clenched teeth, while glaring at Ron. Ron returned the glare and only noticed Hermione and the others after he left.
"Mione! Harry!"
Hermione walked over and sat down in the chair across from Ron. "What went wrong?"
"Who says anything went wrong?" Ron asked innocently.
"Um maybe the fact you're sitting in the middle of a police station, being interrogated," Harry said with a slight laugh.
"Shut up, Harry," Ron said, laughing a bit himself. "Fine. I accidently… um entered the wrong room. An elderly woman was apparently staying in it and I kinda frightened her. That's how I got this," he said pointing to a lump on the side of his head.
"What did she hit you with? Her purse?" Ginny joked.
"Yeah, for some reason there was a brick in it. I got knocked out and the lady called the cops. The paramedics revived me with salts and then the 'Sergeant Dullard' guy took me here. I told 'em to call you guys. He's been badgering me for about twenty minutes now."
"Well they can't keep you here for mixing up rooms, can they?"
"I don't know. I'm hoping the lady will understand that I mistook her room for ours."
"I should have gone with you. We wouldn't be in this mess if I had."
"Mione, it's not your fault. I told you I could do it."
"Yeah, but-."
The inspector interrupted them. "Mrs. Ald has agreed not to press charges. You're free to go."
Ron let out a sigh of relief. Hermione sighed also, but said, "Thank goodness," as well.
They left the police station and walked to the car. Ron was about to say something, but Mr. Granger interrupted. "We will drive to the hotel and then back home so nothing more happens. End of story. Now where are you guys staying?"
"Lorikeet Lagoon, Oceanfront Suites," Harry told him.
"Aw, I know where that is. Everyone in the car."
"Wait. Dad, May I?" Hermione said pulling out her wand. He nodded and a minute later they were sitting comfortably in the expanded back seat of the car. They got to the hotel and got their bags before checking out. They arrived home at 8:45 and Mr. & Mrs. Granger showed them the two rooms they would be staying in.
"Ginny and Hermione, you girls can stay in here. I'm sorry that there is only one bed but you will have to share," Mrs. Granger said.
"It's ok mum," Hermione said, and with a wave of her wand a sleeping cot appeared in the bedroom.
Mrs. Granger smiled. "I forgot you could do that."
Meanwhile Mr. Granger showed Ron and Harry where they would be sleeping.
"Here you are boys. Go ahead and make yourselves at home. You guys will have to decide who gets the bed. The couch is a futon, so one of you can sleep there. 'Night."
Everyone was tired because of the day's events. At exactly 9 o' clock the last light was turned off and everyone fell asleep to the sound of seagulls and waves.
Ron woke the next morning to the smell of pancakes and bacon. He dressed and found his way to the kitchen. He found Mrs. Granger at the stove flipping a pancake; Mr. was reading the newspaper, and Hermione and Ginny talking and eating. As he entered the room, Hermione looked up and smiled at him.
"Morning, what do you want to do today?"
"I don't know what is there to do in Sydney, Australia?"
"A lot. We could go to the Opera House, or on the Manly Cruise, or maybe go to the Sydney Wildlife World or the Aquarium."
"Hmmm… well we can decide after Harry wakes up. I want to go to the beach again."
"Okay."
Harry came out a few minutes later and together they enjoyed breakfast before Mr. & Mrs. Granger had to go to work. The couple left, leaving the four teens alone to decide on what to do. After about ten minutes they all decided to go to the beach, so they all went to their rooms to change. Five minutes later Ron, wearing red swim trunks and a white tee, Harry, wearing green trunks and a blue tee, Ginny, wearing a brown bikini underneath a pair of jean shorts and a pink tank, and Hermione, wearing a blue bikini underneath a pair of khaki shorts and a green tank, were all standing in the living room ready to go.
They walked a few miles to a trolley station where they boarded a trolley. As the trolley took them north along the coast, passing almost every beach, Ron noticed a sign. He nudged Hermione.
"Look Mione a nude beach," he said before Hermione smacked hard in the chest.
"Ronald!"
"What?!" he gasped. She glared at him. Harry was laughing very hard and began having difficulty breathing. He didn't know whether Ron had actually seen a sign to a nude beach, but he dared not look in fear of what Ginny might think if he tried to locate the sign.
"I was joking, geez!"
"Ronald I saw the sign too. I'm not stupid."
"There may have been a sign but I was kidding! Oww," he said while rubbing his 'injury'. "I can only imagine what Malfoy felt when you punched him third year, especially if you just slap that hard."
The four teens relaxed and talked while the trolley stopped and started, letting people on and off. Hermione pulled out a camera and began taking pictures of the boys, Ginny, and the scenery.
"Are you gonna develop those when we get home?" Ron leaned over and asked.
"No. I think that some pictures are better left still," Hermione told him taking a picture of his smiling face. They soon arrived at their desired destination and got off the trolley.
"Manly Beach," Ron read. "Hmm… I like the sound of that," he said jokingly puffing up his chest. He pumped up his arms, showing off his 'guns'. Hermione laughed.
"You've got some big muscles there, Ron," Ginny said sarcastically. He looked at his arms, saw that they weren't as big as he thought, and quickly put his arms down. Harry, Ginny, and Hermione all roared with laughter. Ron glared at his best friend and sister, before looking at the smiling and laughing Hermione, and began grinning and laughing himself.
He looked at the sandy beach and blue water, and removed his shirt, placing it in Hermione's beaded bag. Every one followed suit and soon were wearing only their swim suits.
Ron ran over to Hermione, picked her up, put her over his shoulder, and ran toward the water. Harry did the same thing with Ginny. Hermione was scolding Ron and yelling at him to put her down. He waded into the water until it was up to his chest before putting her down.
"Do you want to doubt my strength now? I just carried you all the way across the beach and into the water," he asked with his hands on his hips.
"No," Hermione said looking into his eyes. They both leaned forward, but were splashed with water before their lips met.
"Hey! We are still here!" Ginny yelled. Ron frowned, before splashing Ginny and Harry with a tidal wave of water. Ginny managed to splutter, "OH! You will so pay for that!"
Harry disappeared under the water. Ginny, Ron and Hermione began splashing each other back and forth. Moments later a huge wave of water came crashing down on Hermione and Ron from behind. They turned around to see Harry laughing. Harry, who was laughing so hard his eyes were closed, didn't see Ron silently wade over to him and push him over into the water. When he finally surfaced he saw Ron and Hermione laughing. He launched himself at Ron and they began to tackle each other and push each other under the water. Ginny and Hermione relaxed and talked, swimming up farther on to the beach so they could sit down in the water. After about ten minutes of the boys wrestling, Ron came running (as fast as one can in water) before picking Ginny up and placing her over his shoulder just as he had done with Hermione. She yelled and pounded on her brother's back.
"Ha! I have a hostage! You wouldn't dare," He said to Harry.
"I would," Harry responded before pushing Ron over and quickly helping Ginny resurface and swim further into the water. Hermione watched as Ron chased after the two. She sighed happily, before laying her head on the water and floating on her back, rolling with the waves. A few minutes later a shadow blocked the sun and she looked up to find a dark haired Bulgarian she had met in fourth year.
"Hermy-own- ninny?"
"Viktor?"
"Vhat are you doing in Australia?"
Hermione stood up. "Long story. But what are you doing here?"
"My family is on vacation here. Ve come here every other summer. I see dat you are here vith dat Veasley fellow."
She nodded. "Yes. Harry and Ginny are here too."
"Ah. I hope dat you are happy vith him."
"How do you-."
"I can zee it in you eyes, and I could zee it in his eyes vhen he asked you to dance at the vedding."
"Thank you Viktor."
"You von't tell him about me being here, vill you," he said, it was more of a statement than a question.
She shook her head. "No he gets jealous easily," she said with a smile. He nodded.
"Good Bye Hermy-own-ninny."
"Bye," she said, watching him walk up the beach, join his family, and walk out of sight.
"Who was that?" asked Ron panting as he ran up to beach to her.
"No one."
