Disclaimer- Well, Harry Potter still isn't mine. Isn't it an outrage!?! Yeah, okay, so it isn't. But still…
The Return of the Camping Trip
Chapter 4: Gifts
Some time later, George and Hermione were sprawled out in their tent, just relaxing after their tiring (A/N- hee hee!) activities. George suddenly sat up, looking at Hermione.
"Do you want your present now?" he asked her, looking the part of a seven-year-old wanting approval on a Christmas present he had bought.
"Sure," Hermione said, grinning. George quickly reached over into his backpack, pulling out a long, thin, wrapped box, which he handed to Hermione.
"Go on, then," he said, motioning for her to unwrap it. She carefully pulled the wrappings from the gift, unveiling a velvet jewelry box.
"Oh, George; it's beautiful!" she said once she had flipped the cover open. Inside was a thin silver chain with a diamond pendant hanging from the end.
"You like it?" he asked hopefully.
"I love it!" Hermione replied happily, sitting up and throwing her arms around him. When she pulled back, she carefully took the necklace from the box. "Help me put it on?" she asked, handing the chain to George. He gently clasped it around her neck, smoothing it out when he was done.
"It looks good on you," he stated proudly when she turned around. "I spent four hours in a jewelry store picking that out."
"Thank you very much," she said, catching his lips in a soft kiss. When she pulled back, she reached for her backpack. Tapping her wand on the inside, a secret compartment was revealed, containing a singular wrapped box. "Happy anniversary," she said, handing him the package.
George quickly ripped the paper off of the package, using none of the care Hermione had in unwrapping her gift. He pulled the top off of the box, looking at the gift in awe.
"Wow, Mione," he said breathlessly, "It's wonderful!" He pulled out an exquisite gold watch, with a small crystalline gem marking twelve. On the face, there was a little panel that gave the date.
"Turn it over," Hermione said, motioning to the watch. George quickly flipped it over, reading the inscription on the back.
True love lasts forever. GW & HGW
"I know that technically the initials won't be correct for a few months, but then…" she said, cutting off her sentence with a wave of her hand.
"This is terrific, Hermione, thank you," George said, pressing his lips to hers softly. When they pulled back, he said, "I love you."
"And I love you," Hermione replied, kissing him again.

(A/N- I am SOOOO sorry for such a short chapter! I have awful writers' block, and its taking me a bit to get the next part written! Sorry…
Reviewers:
Lanthir Imladiell- aww, thanks!
Kazza- thank you!
Hermione-Granger 62194- Hyper is good!
JoeBob1379- the whole 'end of chapter' thing comes from the Simpsons. It's the episode where a character on a show gets named after Homer; the character does this thing where he throws his scarf over his shoulder and says, "And that's the end of that chapter!" It's a funny episode!
Veronica*James- well, they are a very, um, active couple. Hermione and George are young, in love, and, well, things just happen that way. It's not my fault the caffeine takes over!
PunkyPrincess13- there you are * eats the cherry on top *
Serena Serenity- thank you!
Veronica- oh, thanks so much! If you didn't get an email, it's because my stupid computer froze up before I could get to my email!
Yet again, I'm sorry about the lateness of the chapter. I'm working, and I just got struck with an okay idea, so I'll get writing! Luv ya!)
