AN: A little chapter to act as a bridge, despite the title of the chapter
this is not the end of the story! Dear me this one is dragging on slightly.
*
Three weeks of being shepherded everywhere by the bodyguards passed without event. The squad was called away to a more important case. There had been no sign of the stalker and not a trace of them had been found so their case was deemed unnecessary.
Also within three weeks the summer was nearly over and Ron and Ginny were due to go home on the first of September. The First of September- ironic that they'd be going home then. For seven September the sevenths they had traveled to Hogwarts together; Harry had called it 'going home' when they returned to school. That's what Ginny felt she was doing; Ron on the other hand felt that home could only be where Hermione was.
Ron and Hermione spent a lot of time alone in the three weeks that was left to them but their new found relationship was going to make parting even more painful.
On September the first, the entire household escorted Ron and Ginny to the portkey centre. While Ginny was saying goodbye to the girls Ron took Hermione aside.
"This has been the bets summer I've had in a long time." She said her eyes bright with tears.
"Me too." He whispered.
She stared up at him, her brown eyes wide her pretty face miserable. He was engulfed.
"Promise me you'll come at Christmas?" He asked her. Christmas was the soonest she could get anymore time off work.
"Of course, you mum would kill me if I didn't!" She laughed, "Oh Ron, I'm really going to miss you!"
He hugged her tightly and kissed her softly on the forehead.
"Goodbye." He murmured.
Ginny came over to hug her friend, tears running down her face.
"Goodbye Ginny," Hermione said, tears spilling out of her own eyes.
"Christmas?" Ginny asked.
"Yes Christmas."
"Not that long really, keep writing," Ginny said.
"Oh I will."
"Your portkeys about to leave," Hermione said.
"Come on Ginny, goodbye everyone." Ron said.
"Goodbye," The girls chorused.
"Bye."
* "I'm surprised you could drag yourself away form her." Ginny teased her older brother as they arrived in Diagon Alley.
"Yes so am I." Ron replied. *
Later at her parents house Ginny was talking to her mother.
"Well? What about Ron and Hermione?" Her mother asked.
"Let's just say that we'll be seeing a lot more of her." Ginny replied.
