Hermione was on her way out of their cabin and could have sworn she heard someone else leave after her, but didn't bother to turn around. She figured it was probably George trying to get back in his and Fred's cabin. She sat down at the edge of the pool and put her feet in the water, humming to herself and looking up at the stars.
"Hey there." She jumped and noticed it was Ron. He sat down next to her and smiled gently. "What are you doing out her so late, hmm?" he asked gently.
"I couldn't sleep. You know." She answered, looking at him through the corner of her eye. "What are you doing here?" she asked.
"Oh. well I heard one of you girls leave and decided to make sure you were ok. I couldn't sleep anyway." He said, blushing. "So, you came out here for what exactly?" Hermione smiled.
"I came out here to think." She answered.
"Oh. about Krum?" he asked quietly.
"No... about other tings. like next year and all." She said. "Boyfriends and all. Lavender and Parvati said fifth year would be the best time for boyfriends since that's when we'll all change and junk like that." She stopped noticing Ron's face going red.
"Then just tell them Krum's your boyfriend and let it go."
"Oh please Ron. I wouldn't even kiss him." Ron suddenly snorted. "What's so funny?"
"Well, you've never kissed Krum. What's wrong? Were you scared?" he asked. She glared at him.
"No! What is there to be scared of? It's just kissing." She said, blushing. Ron raised an eye brow at her and smirked. He leaned toward her a bit.
"No really 'Mione, why wouldn't you kiss him? Isn't he your type at all? Tall. forget the handsome thing, famous and he has the money to support you.. Of course, if there was some one else." Hermione smiled at him.
"Oh yeah, Seamus Finnigan." She said and bursted out laughing at the shocked look on his face. "I was just kidding Ron, honestly." She said, pulling her arms around his neck "It was you the whole time. I would have thought you'd at least know that much." She said, and kissed him. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Meanwhile in the adults' cabin, Mr. Granger rolled over and shook his wife awake. She grumbled to show that she was listening. "Dear, you think our Hermione is just friends with that Ron boy?" he asked. Mrs. Granger rolled over and sat up, glaring at her husband.
"You woke me cuz you're afraid that our 14, going on 15 year old daughter is having premarrital sex with Ron Weasley? Oh please. They're best friends! Now go to bed." She siad in annoyance.
"I need some fresh air." Said Mr. Granger, and got up, going out toward the pool. On the way, he sneezed and heard a huge splash. "Hermione?" he called in a whisper. Her head popped up out the pool and she waved.
"Hey dad! You scared me." She said and pulled her self out, sitting on the edge.
"Sorry. you must be cold?" he said, sitting in one of the fold out chairs. "Or were you just taking a midnight swim?" he asked. Hermione smiled and lowered herself back into the pool. She grinned.
"Yeah, I suppose. Well, I'm going to head to bed. Why don't you get some sleep dad. I bet Mr. Weasley will want to know about muggles tomorrow." Said Hermione. Mr. Granger smiled at his daughter.
"You know Hermione dear, I'm really proud of you. You won't ever disappoint me will you?" asked Mr. Granger nad Hermione pushed her hair out of her face.
"Course not. Now go get some sleep, eh?" she said. He smiled and got up, and left, saying goodnight. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Is he gone?" asked Ron, who was hiding in the pool with Hermione in front of him the entire time talking to her dad. She nodded and backed away a bit. "You do know you're dad would have killed me if he caught us right?"
"Yeah. And sorry and had to shove you in the pool like that." She said. Ron shrugged.
"Being thrown into freezing pool water is better than being killed by an angry muggle. Hermione smiled and pulled herself out of the pool.
"Let's get back ok? I'd hate for anyone else to find us."
