A/N: I had fun writing The Grangers chapter. It was something I had been thinking for quite a while. Anyways, I am now starting the Deathly Hallows. I will start at from the end of my last chapter. This chapter will include Chapter 2 of Deathly Hallows all the way to Chapter 5 since the first chapter is mainly of Voldemort and Snape. So, this chapter will include 4 chapters of the Deathly Hallows because those 4 chapters take place on the same day.

I'm pretty excited to write this second part of the story. I have big ideas for the Deathly Hallows. It took me quite a while to think of a way to make this story more believable with Ron as a Slytherin with plenty of differences in Deathly Hallows. I believe it makes sense and I hope you enjoy the rest of the story.

Chapter 21:
The Order of the Phoenix

Hermione groaned as she slowly opened her eyes. She found herself lying on the bed being cuddled by Ron from behind her. She closed her eyes once again, remembering what had happened the day before. She knew she was doing the right thing, but that didn't help the pain go because Hermione didn't get to see her parents much during the last 6 years at Hogwarts didn't mean she didn't love them that much. She could only hope that the war wouldn't last long because she wouldn't see her parents again until Harry had defeated Voldemort.

A grunt broke into Hermione's thoughts. She felt Ron move slightly behind her. His breathing picking up and then he deeply exhaled. All of a sudden, Ron's arms moved off her as he stretched out his body, trying to shake off the sleep. Hermione didn't move at all, all she wanted was Ron's arms back around her. She suddenly remembered that she was nearly naked and so was Ron, but she loved Ron's skin on her.

Finally, Hermione felt Ron's arms return to their original positions (around her). "I can tell you are not awake." Ron whispered from behind her. She opened her eyes at his voice.

"How?" Hermione whispered back.

"You are breathing different. Your breathing was a lot deeper when you fell asleep last night." Ron replied. Hermione smiled in response, even though Ron couldn't see her face.

She turned around in Ron's arms to face him. Ron was smiling at her and Ron leaned forward to kiss her and Hermione replied with equal enthusiasm. They broke away after a full minute of their morning snog.

"So, do you want to go over to the Delacours' home today?" Ron asked.

Hermione was about to reply when there was a tapping on the window. She frowned and untangled herself from Ron. Ron groaned and pulled himself up upright. He was now sitting with his back against the headboard.

Hermione walked over to the window of the room and opened the window. A black owl flew in the room. Hermione recognized it as Remus Lupin's temporary owl.

"Who is it from?" Ron asked from behind her. Hermione took the letter from the owl's leg and the owl immediately left. She took this to believe that Remus did not need a reply.

She opened the letter and read:

Hello Hermione,

This will be just a short letter.

I hope you are doing okay since Dumbledore's death, but that is not what I need to talk to you about. We have had problems at the Orders ever since. So, if you have time, will you please come to the Order? Neville is already here as well. I have nothing more to say in this letter in case this letter gets intercepted. Death Eaters are on the rise and everyone is in danger. Please be careful.

Thanks,

Remus Lupin

Hermione finished reading the letter. It was definitely shorter than the letters she usually got from Remus.

"Who is the letter from?" Ron said once again from behind her, this time getting impatient. She turned around to see him sitting up against the headboard wearing only his boxers. She felt shy all of a sudden, but ignored it as she walked over to the bed and got onto the bed. Hermione crawled over to Ron's side and leaned onto his bare chest. Ron reached down with his arms and pulled her up tighter against him. He then pulled the covers back over them.

Hermione was having a debate in her head. She was thinking whether or not to tell Ron about the Order, but she had a feeling that he already did since he was friends with Malfoy.

She kept her head on his chest as she replied, "Do you know anything about the Order?" Hermione felt Ron freeze up before relaxing.

"I've heard some things about it, why?" Ron said. Hermione looked up in his eyes, debating on what to say. She had been dating Ron for about 10 months and she trusted him with all her heart. The only thing that caused her to make her decision was the thought of Ron going with them on the Horcrux hunt.

"A member of the Order needs to see me and I'm going to go today. I was wondering if you would like to come with me." Hermione said.

Hermione took Ron's arm and apparated them to a street. The loud cracking sound of apparition didn't alert any nearby muggles. They were both standing on the sidewalks and they were facing a row of buildings that were built as homes.

Ron took in his surroundings and the first unusual thing he noticed was that there was no building number 12. The buildings were in order and it went from 11 to 13, but no 12. Ron thought this was a mistake.

"We're here." Hermione said next to him. Ron looked down at her with confusion.

"Here? Are you serious? I mean, if the Order is here, wouldn't anyone have found out already? I mean, we are out in public." Ron said. Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Yes, we are here, but you'll have to wait right here." Hermione said as she let go of Ron and walked towards the buildings. All of a sudden, Hermione disappeared.

"Hermione? Hermione!" Ron all but shouted, but it was worthless. Ron stood there looking like an idiot with his arms in mid-air. He let his arms drop down to his sides and turned around. He didn't know what to do now…then it finally came to him.

Ron turned back to look where Hermione had disappeared. 'OH! Geez, why didn't I figure that out? Of course, there's got to be a house number 12 under the Fidelius charm. I guess all I have to do is to wait for Hermione to come back.' Ron thought.

After over 10 long boring minutes, Hermione finally re-appeared out of nowhere in front of between buildings 11 and 13. A wore out looking man in his late 30s showed up as well behind her. Ron recognized the man as Remus Lupin, his former DADA teacher back in 3rd year.

He was feeling nervous as Hermione and Professor Lupin walked up to him. Ron felt like he didn't know how to act since he was going to meet the Order and how they would react to finding out that he was a Weasley.

"Sorry that took long, Ron. I had to convince the Order to let you in." Hermione apologized. Ron gave her a look that said it was okay.

"Ahem." Professor Lupin cleared his throat from behind Hermione. Ron looked at him. "I assume you remember who I am, Mr. Weasley?" Professor Lupin said.

Ron nodded, "Yes, Professor Lupin."

"Please, call me Remus. I am not your professor anymore." Remus said with a smile.

"Okay, Remus." Ron replied.

"Hermione here nearly forced us to let you in, so we finally relented after she told us all about you and how you are not what we thought since you are friends with a Draco Malfoy." Remus explained. Hermione blushed from next to Ron and Ron looked down at her with a smirk. "So, what I want you to do is to read this piece of paper and memorize it." Remus finished and gave Ron a piece of paper that said Number 12 Grimmauld Place.

Ron memorized the words and Remus took the piece of paper from him and then Remus pocketed the piece of paper.

"Okay, now just think of those words and look right ahead." Remus said. Ron was right. It was a fidelius charm as he watched numbers 11 and 13 buildings separate as another building appeared. "Follow me."

Ron followed Hermione and Remus towards the building and Remus opened the front door to reveal Grimmauld Place. It was dark and most of the walls were black. It reminded Ron of his home. The house was familiar and Ron wondered who owned this place.

"Who owns this place, Hermione?" Ron leaned down to Hermione's ear as he asked.

Hermione looked up at him and, "Well, right now it belongs to Harry, but the Blacks' used to own this place. I pretty sure you know who I'm talking about." Hermione said.

Ron nodded, knowing the family she was talking about. He knew some things about the Blacks': Regulus and Sirius Black. He also had found out not long ago that Bellatrix Lestrange was the Blacks' cousin.

"Welcome to the Order's Headquarters, Ronald." Remus said.

"Um, would it be okay if you call me Ron?" Ron asked. Remus smiled and nodded. Ron kept following Hermione and Remus to a closed door all the way to the back of the hall that they were currently walking through. He could hear voices through the door and Remus opened the door to reveal the dining room.

Ron entered the room and the entire room went quiet. Ron recognized some of the Order: Hagrid, Mundungus Fletcher, Professor McGonagall, and Mad-Eye Moody. The people he saw next to Moody shocked him the most. It was his brothers, Bill and the twins. He did not know they were in the Order and was shocked that they were even in the war as well. Of course, he knew that he saw them at Hogwarts fighting in the halls, but he just didn't think anything about it.

"Bill? Fred and George? You guys are members?" Ron asked, confused.

"Hello, Ronniekins." The twins said at the same time as Bill said, "Hey, Ron."

"Yes, these guys are members as well." Remus said. There were also at least 3 or 4 others that he didn't recognize, but didn't want to ask for their names. He just wanted to get started on with the meeting because he wanted to know why they really wanted Hermione over as soon as possible.

The door behind Ron opened and Ron turned to see Neville Longbottom walk through. "Neville!" Hermione exclaimed and walked towards him to hug him.

"Hey, Hermione, how are you?" Neville asked as he returned the hug.

Hermione broke away and looked up, "I'm fine." Hermione said. Ron knew Hermione had just lied. She was not fine at all, even though she was doing a really good job of putting up a front. She had just erased herself from her parents' memory and had them want to move to Australia yesterday.

"Well, everyone has already greeted each other. Let's get on with the meeting." Remus said. Ron and Hermione said down next to each other and Neville sat next to Hermione as well. Ron grabbed Hermione's hand under the table and put it on his lap. Hermione turned her head a little and smiled before turning her attention back to Remus.

"Thank you for coming today to this meeting. I'm sure you notice that there are some missing members, but that is because they are busy right now and can't get away. The reason why we are here is because we need to move Harry. Because the times are so bad right now, it would be dangerous to just move him to here like we normally do. So, we need ideas of another way to move Harry." Remus explained. The Order members started muttering.

Ron just sat still and quiet while holding Hermione's hand. It was nearly 5 minutes later when Mundungus Fletcher spoke up an idea. Ron had to suppress his chuckle at his idea, but knew it was a good idea also.

"Well, I guess we all agree with this idea? Okay, I think 7 is a good number? Who will help?" Remus asked. Several people raised their hands except Ron and Mundungus. It took Hermione's jab in his chest for Ron to raise his hands as well.

"Put your hands up, Fletcher!" Moody snarled from across the table. Mundungus raised his hands, making him the 13th member, including Remus.

"Well, that's 13 of us. I already know of one other that will be willing to help us. I believe Kingsley will help as well. I guess that is all I needed to talk about. Thank you for coming." Remus thanked the members.

Hermione was tired as Hermione had convinced Ron to stay at Grimmauld Place for the next couple days before getting Harry. Ron had refused several times, but gave in.

Neville had decided to stay the next couple days as well. They were the only 3 in the house since Remus and Tonks had to go home.

Ron and Hermione were currently in the dining room with Neville. Hermione was amazed at the food she currently tasted now. It was delicious and she couldn't believe Ron knew how to cook.

"My mother taught me how to cook." Ron said as all three ate in silence.

After dinner, Hermione decided to wash the dishes with her wand as Ron and Neville played chess in the den. She smiled that Ron was taking an effort to get to know Neville as Neville was doing the same. She knew that it was important for them to get along as much as possible before the Horcrux hunt because she didn't know how long the hunt would last. Unfortunately, she didn't believe there were any chances of Ron getting along with Harry.

She walked into the den after finishing the dishes to see Ron winning. Ron looked up at Hermione and smiled. Hermione smiled back and looked for a place to sit and noticed a couch near them. She walked towards the couch when she heard her name being said. She turned around to see Ron tapping his lap and telling her to sit there. Hermione looked at Neville and decided to do just that. She sat on Ron's lap and leaned against Ron's shoulders as he continued to play. Neville didn't seem to be uncomfortable with the place where Hermione was sitting and she could tell he was starting to get used to the idea of her and Ron being a couple.

Later, Hermione and Ron decided to sleep together in the same bed and Hermione knew that ever since last night, she wanted to sleep with Ron every night. Neville slept at another room above.

The next few days were crazy with plans and instructions on moving Harry. Hermione woke up in Ron's arms one morning. It was the day they were going to put their plan into effect. Hermione turned over in Ron's arms and snuggled closer. She didn't know why, but she loved the fact that Ron only slept in his boxers. Hermione slept with one of Ron's t-shirts that went all the way to her knees while she only wore knickers.

She gasped when she felt lips on her forehead and looked up into Ron's eyes. "Good morning, Mione." Ron said. Hermione hummed in reply. Ron leaned down and kissed her and Hermione returned it. She parted her lips as she felt Ron's tongue tracing her lips and Ron took the advantage to deepen the kiss. They snogged for a little while until there was a knock on the door.

They broke apart, "Who is it?" Hermione called out.

"Um, it's me. I just wanted to let you know that breakfast is ready." Neville said on the other side of the door.

"Okay, we'll be there." Hermione said. Ron groaned and decided to do something. Ron swatted her bum as he got out of bed.

Hermione gasped, "Ronald!"

"What?" Ron decided to play innocent. Hermione just shook her head. She didn't mind it one bit.

Later, breakfast was quiet. Ron and Hermione sat on one side while Neville, Remus and Tonks sat on the other side. Hermione was currently reading a Rita Skeeter article about Albus Dumbledore. She couldn't believe it.

Ron felt weird as he took the polyjuice potion. He could feel himself changing as he shrunk about 6 inches and his limbs shrunk as well. It was the weirdest thing he had ever felt. He also had just recently discovered that Hermione, Harry and Neville had also taken the polyjuice potion before back in 2nd year. Ron remembered that day and had obviously noticed how weird Crabbe and Goyle were being in the Slytherin common room. He couldn't believe it was Harry and Neville pretending to be them.

"Okay, now let's go. Harry, you are going with Hagrid. Come on, let's go now." Mad-Eye Moody commanded. Ron couldn't tell which Harry was Hermione, but decided that he would talk to her later, as long as this mission went safe. He walked with Tonks to outside and grabbed his broom as she did the same.

Couple seconds later, they were immediately in the air and taking off in different directions. All of a sudden, many Death Eaters appeared out of nowhere in the skies. Ron grabbed his wand out of his pockets as he continued holding onto the broom with his other hand.

"Look out!" Tonks yelled from next to him. Ron turned to see a Death Eater sending a spell at him and Ron ducked as he sent a stunning spell back at him. It hit the Death Eater straight in his face as he fell off his broom and dropped to his death.

Tonks and Ron continued to fly as fast as they could as they continued to avoid spells.

Ron eventually heard a Death Eater yell out, "It's him! IT'S HIM! IT'S HARRY POTTER!" Ron didn't know whether or not if they had discovered who the real Harry Potter was, but they were on a mission and had to continue to their chosen safe house.

Tonks and Ron flew through a barrier that would keep Death Eaters out as they landed in front of Order member's parents' home. They walked to the front door with their brooms in hand. They were eventually given a portkey and Ron was taken to Bill's home. He called it Shell Cottage and Fleur, his fiancé, didn't know anything about it. It was a surprise for Fleur after their honeymoon.

It was later when Ron was currently sleeping on the couch of Bill's home. Bill had refused to let Ron and Hermione sleep in the same bed. Ron couldn't believe that Fletcher had abandoned Mad-Eye and that Moody had been killed. He also couldn't believe how noble Harry Potter was when he tried to leave the house to keep them safe. Of course, he thought it was stupid because if he did leave, it would have made their whole mission and Mad-Eye's death pointless.

A/N: There you go. I enjoyed writing this chapter. Now, this won't be the last time I will be combining Deathly Hallows chapters as a single chapter. I find it easier to just write it all in one chapter if the chapters take place in the same day.

I don't really have anything else to say because I really don't want to give anything away, so all I can say is thanks for reading and if you will, please review.
