Ginny Weasley awoke with a start. Someone was knocking loudly on her door. She groaned loudly and pulled the covers over her head. The knocking continued, 'god, their mercyless!'.
"WHAT?" she shouted agressively.
The knocking stopped and Ron's voice floated throught the door, "Ginny? You up? We've got a great day ahead of us. Have you forgot?... Hermione arrives in less than an hour"
Needless to say she had forgot, Hermione would be arriving at The Burrow just after 11 o'clock - it was 10.15am. 'Jesus!', she thought 'i've gotta get ready!'.
She jumped out of bed and ran to the shower.
Hermione wouldn't be the only one who would be coming to The Burrow today - Harry Potter, one of Ron and Ginny's best friends would also be coming for the rest of the holidays.
When Ginny had first heard the story about Harry Potter, she saw him as an icon - she admired him greatley. Then when her brother Ron started Hogwarts and became best friends with Harry - she met him properley and was attracted to his looks not his bravery. Over the years, their relationship had changed and now Ginny had stopped blushing everytime she talked to him, now he was one of her best friends and she went to him for advice.
After Hermione arrived, her and the Weasley's would pick Harry up from his Aunt and Uncles house, then they would go to Diagon Alley for their school supplies.
Ginny Weasley was now 16 years old. Her long red hair fell down her back in a gloss sheeth. She had a petite figure and bright eyes which lit up whenever she was in deep discussion with somebody.
After her shower, she dressed in a denim skirt and a strappy green vest top. She then applyed a minimal amount of make up and some lip gloss which make her lips look fuller. She didn't want to look over dressed incase her brothers started taunting her about dressing up for Harry. Actually she wanted to look nice for them all - she wanted to show them that she wasn't a little girl anymore, that she was growing into a woman.
Ginny ate breakfast quietly. She hoped that Hermione would arrive soon - she desperatley wanted to talk to another female who wasn't her mother. Hermione, again one of Ron's best friend was also one of hers. Ginny had shared some of her most intimate thoughts and secrets with her, and she knew that she could keep a secret.
She sat on the front step, her eyes staring intentley at the long driveway. Ron came and sat down next to her. From the living room, they could hear Fred and George laughing hysterically at a trick the had just played.
Ron was desperate for Hermione to turn up. They had been seeing eachother for just less than a year - and he knew that he was in love with her. He loved the way that she wouldn't back out of an arguement if she knew she was right - she was very stubborn, he also loved the fact that she got scared when he fought. Everything about her made him smile - he just hoped she felt the same way.
"thinking about Herm?" asked Ginny smiling at him.
"how can you tell?"
"well you've got a big dopey smile over your face, it's not that obvious" she giggled.
Suddenly a big red car pulled around the corner, in the front seats sat Mr and Mrs Granger and leaned between the partition was Hermione, pointing the way. She saw Ron nd her face split into a grin.
"MUM! There here!" shouted Ron, rushing to meet the car.
Hermione jumped out of her seat and ran into his arms. They hugged and kissed - not caring who saw.
Everyone surveyed the scene with a smile on their faces, even the Grangers. Once Ron and Hermione had released eachother, Mr and Mrs Weasle, Ginny, Fred and George, all surged forward to hug Hermione. Everyone had missed her and Harry, they were a part of the family to everybody.
The Grangers' moved forward and shook the Weasleys' hands'.
"Hello again", said Mr Granger, taking in the house and the family "How are you?", he asked with a smile on his face.
"Fine, you?"
The adults continued with their pleasant talk, each couple interested in the other. Fred, George, Ginny and Ron shooted questions at Hermione-
"What've you been up to?"
"Did you have a nice time in France?"
"Did you miss us?"
Hermione answered all the questions seperatley "... I had a nice time in France...and yes George, I did miss all of you".
~~~~~~~~~~***~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Weasleys and Hermione hadn't stopped talking since she had arrived. Now they were all sitting in a hired muggle mini-van.
They turned a corner and Ginny saw a sign which said 'Privet Drive'. She took in the neat fron gardens and though - 'so this is where Harry grew up.'
Everyone piled out of the van at number four. Mr Weasley knocked on the white door softly.
Vernon Dursley opened the door steadily, nervous about the sight which was about to great him. He was surprised. Everybody looked quite normal, well - as normal as witches and wizards could look.He closed the door behind them, making sure that none of the neighbours had seen.
Petunia and Dudley were standing to the back of the room, each of them remembering the last time this family had come here.
"WHAT?" she shouted agressively.
