Chapter Two

~*~*~*~*~

As Harry walked over Ron noticed that he didn't have the Bludgers.

"Harry, why no Bludgers?" Ron asked, slightly amused that his friend forgot.

"Guys I thought that if were just playing this for fun we might get preoccupied and forget about them. If we forget then one of us might get hit." Harry answered.

"Besides, have you ever tried to wrestle a Bludger back into its cage?"

Hermionie and Ron both laughed at this.

Hermionie, in the way only she can be, stated, "How are we going to divide the teams?"

"Well, I thought that whoever caught the Snitch first would win." Harry answered.

"All right but then why did you bring the Quaffle if we're only going to play with the Snitch?" asked Hermionie trying to get on their nerves.

"Because… well… I don't know. It seemed like a good idea at the time." Harry stuttered. "Let's go change now. Will meet in the middle alright?" He asked.

"Okay." Ron and Hermione answered simultaneously.

When Hermione finally emerged from the locker room the three mounted their brooms and Harry released the snitch. Without a seconds thought it was gone, flying towards the azure sky. The trio was off into the warm sunlight just as quickly and began to search rapidly throughout the quidditch pitch area. The snitch didn't show again for about 15 minutes, but as soon as it did Harry already had it in his hands.

'How does he do that?' Hermione asked herself silently. They had agreed to play again, but Hermione realized that it was probably about time for dinner and they decided against and went to change in the locker rooms.

~*~*~*~

By the time they got back from the pitch, dinner was already on the table and the three went to join Hermione's parents.

"So, how'd the game go?" Hermione's father asked.

"It was great, considering the fact that I caught the snitch." Harry replied, grinning.

"Like always" Ron added, contributing to Harry's already huge ego.

"One of these days Harry, one of these days," said Hermione, making eye contact with him. Harry welcomed this and winked at her. Hermione smiled and turned to her mother.

"So what did the doctor say yesterday?"

"Oh, just the usual. Everything was fine with the baby. They still expect her on time." Mrs. Granger replied.

"Good. I hope things stay that way while I'm gone away at school." Hermione said with a bit of sarcasm in here voice.

"Hermione is still upset with us for not letting her come home when the baby arrives." Mr. Granger said smiling at the two boys.

"Well you know how to use the Owl Post right? Harry asked. Hermione's parents nodded as Harry continued. "Then why don't you send pictures? That way we'll all get to see her." Harry finished.

"Yea, we had been thinking about doing that. I guess we will since you mentioned it." Mrs. Granger said looking at Harry and smiling sweetly.

After a few moments of silence Mr. Granger stood up and offered his wife a hand. She lovingly took it and was soon upon her feet as well.

"Well my dear, I hope that you're not to upset with us. You know we'd only do it with good reason." Mrs. Granger smiled and looked down at her daughter who was just beginning to get up from her seat as well.

"I know mom. I love you." Hermione said as she walked over to her parents and gave each one a hug and then stepped back to make room for her mother to get around the table.

"Well, boys I hope you enjoyed dinner and everything. I'm very sorry that we must leave you all so early but I think we're both rather tried so I suppose we'll retire for the night. We love you Hermione we'll see you in the morning alright darling?" Mr. Granger explained as they made their way out of the kitchen and up the stairs.

"Yep, love you too. Good night." Hermione replied

"Good night Mr. and Mrs. Granger" Harry and Ron called up the stairs almost simultaneously.

~*~*~*~

Harry and Ron had just finished helping Hermione with the dishes and they were now upstairs in the guestroom that Hermione had fixed up with the help of her father. Ron and Harry would be sleeping here while they stayed over. It had a bed, a chest of drawers, and a small night table, on each side of the room. The walls were painted a very light peach color and the carpet below their feet was a soft creamy one. Hermione was the first to speak after a long moment of comfortable silence.

"Well, I hope you guys don't mind having to share a room. The other extra room is being fixed up for the baby and I don't think you'd like it very much." She said with a little chuckle.

"Its fine with me." said Ron.

"Hey, this is better than anything I could've gotten at the Dursley's." Harry said.

"Yea, I guess it is huh?" Hermione was really glad that she had been able to get him out of there, if only for this one summer.

"Well, I leave you guys to get dressed and if you want you can meet me downstairs in the living room, okay?" Hermione asked while walking to the door that was only slightly ajar.

"Yea, okay. Good night Mione'." Ron said while taking a shirt out of his trunk.

"I might meet you down there in a few minutes." Harry said.

"Okay, see ya in a while then. Good night Ron."

Hermione closed the door and began making her way down the hall to her room to change. It had been painted with a light blue and had the same creamy colored carpet covering the otherwise wooden floors. 

"Well, I'll leave you guys to get dressed and if you want you can come downstairs for a little while I'll be in the Family room. Okay?" Hermione asked while walking to the door that was only slightly ajar.

Hermione closed the door and began making her way down the hall to her room to change. It had been painted a light blue color with fluffy cotton ball like clouds and off-white colored carpet covering the otherwise wooden floors. 

~*~*~*~

Harry awoke to the smell of bacon, and for once, he wasn't cooking it. He quickly threw back the comforter that was lying in a crumpled heap upon his bed and ran to wake up Ron. But as he crossed the room he noticed that the bed was void of its previous occupant. He quickly threw on a shirt and made his way downstairs.

As he rounded the corner into the kitchen he saw that his girlfriend and previously missing roommate were seated at the table. She was laughing at a joke that Ron had just finished telling. (a/n: you know the stupid knock-knock joke about the banana and the orange that you've heard a million times? Well, that's the one that he was telling, but Hermione didn't want to hurt his feelings!)

"What's so funny?" asked Harry with a lost expression on his face.

"Oh, nothing. Good morning Harry. Did you sleep well last night?" Hermione asked.

"Yea actually I did." Harry answered. "How come you didn't wake me up Ron?"

"I thought you might want to sleep late since you were up longer than I was last night." Ron replied.

 "Oh in that case thanks." said Harry.

"You want some breakfast? I just finished cooking it." Hermione asked sounding rather proud of her self.

"Yea, sure." Harry said as he sat down in the seat next to Hermione's.

"So what do you guys wanna do today?" Hermione questioned.

"I don't know," Ron answered. "What day is it?"

"August 21," answered Harry with no hesitation.

That's my Harry. Always on the ball, thought Hermione.

"Why don't we go to Diagon Alley and get our school stuff?" Ron suggested. The Hogwarts owls had come earlier that morning while they were all asleep. Only Harry and Hermione got the task of Gryffindor prefect which made Ron mad and jealous.

Good idea, Ron." Hermione said. "Maybe we can beat the rush."

So saying, she rushed off to ask her parents if they could take them into London. Harry and Ron kept eating their breakfast. A moment later Hermione came rushing back in.

"C'mon, guys, get ready. We're leaving in ten minutes."

"Hermione! Couldn't you have gotten a little more time for us?"

 asked Harry, slightly annoyed at his girlfriends pleading job.

"Why, Harry did you need more time? I'm sorry; you'll just have to be fast. Now are you going to stand there arguing or are you gonna kiss me and run hurry scurry upstairs to get dressed?" asked Hermione who felt as if she was going to get her morning kiss.

"Why, Hermione! Dare you suggest that when your parents are in the next room?" said Harry slightly amazed at his senses that insisted that he kissed her and never let her go.

"Okay, Hermione you win." Ron said.

As he ran by, Ron kissed her nicely on the cheek. She met it with a stunned look and softly went up the stairs.

"Herms! Give me a kiss and I'll change." Harry said pleadingly and slightly shocked that his best friend would kiss his girlfriend. In all the years he never kissed any of Ron's girl friends- although, then again, Lavender's kiss came back through but that can't be blamed on him. Dumbledore always did like that stupid enchanted mistletoe.

Hermione giggled and turned to kiss Harry. "Hurry up silly or we'll be late. I had it planned that we would go and I begged Ginny to come and Fred and George to open up the store for once on a Sunday. I thought you boys would like it if the joke shop was open. They have a new 'creation' and I thought that you- okay so I volunteered you two to test it."

"You're in trouble Miss so I suggest that you shut up and let me go change. Oh, and one more thing you're gonna get 'it' when you least expect it. Hermione I love you." Said Harry and ran

up the stairs to catch up with Ron who was waiting for Harry.

As they were hurrying up to their room, Ron said to Harry, "Man, she doesn't waste and time, does she? I was thinking about going later this afternoon."

"Yeah, but at least we can get it over with. She just wanted to get there before all the other Hogwarts kids come rushing in." Harry defended.

"I know. Don't get all offended, I was only teasing her because she's your girlfriend."

"Oh, if that's the way you want it to be…"

"Don't even think about it."

"What?"

"You know what I mean."

"No, I don't. Tell me, what can I not think about?" Harry teased, eyes dancing with mirth.

"No, I won't."

By this time, they were in their room and they had just gotten done getting dressed. They were standing by their beds and looking at each other across the room with their arms crossed. Suddenly, Harry charged at Ron, making him stumble and fall on his bed. Harry landed on top of him and started tickling him.

"Tell me!" Harry said.

"No!" Ron got out between his laughs.

"Yes!"

"No!"

This went on for a minute without anyone relenting.

"Stop Harry!"

"No, not until you tell me!"

"I won't!"

If Hermione wouldn't have walked in this would have continued.

"Are you guys ready yet?" she asked not really paying attention.

Harry stopped tickling Ron for a moment in order to answer Hermione.

"Just a minute. I'm trying to get Ron to let me in on a little secret he's keeping from me."

"He already knows what it is but he just wants to torture me,"

Ron countered. "Stop acting like clowns, you two." Said Hermione, finally taking in the situation. Harry and Ron looked at each other, each reading the other's mind. They looked at Hermione with a mischievous glint in their eyes.

"You wouldn't dare!" Hermione exclaimed, realizing their intentions.

"Oh, wouldn't we?" asked Harry.

With that, he and Ron pounced at Hermione, chasing her down the

stairs where she ran into her Father.

"Dad, help me!" she pleaded as Harry and Ron caught up with her, making her hide behind her father.

"Come on guys. Stop playing around and get in the car."

"Okay," the trio said.

When the boys had left through the front door, Hermione turned to her father with relief in her eyes. This immediately left when she saw his eyes. They had the same look that the boys had.

"DAD!" Hermione got out just before he started tickling her.

"JOHN!"

He immediately stopped as Susie came in the room.

"Stop torturing Herm and go take her and the boys to Diagon Alley.

"Okay Honey. I was just trying to have a little fun," John said as he followed Hermione out the door and closed it behind him.

As Hermione was walking out to the car, she saw Harry and Ron laughing.

They looked up at the sound of the car door. They saw the anger in her eyes and realizing what happened laughed even harder. Hermione climbed in the car and slammed the door after her. A moment later, her father was sitting in the front seat starting the car. It was five minutes before anyone said anything.

"Herms, you know we were only playing. Will you please forgive us?" Harry asked turning on the puppy eyes effect.

Oh no, not the puppy eyes. Hermione thought.

"Oh, Harry, you know I can never stay mad at you." She said when she couldn't hold back a smile.

Harry broke out in grins and leaned over (A/N: Harry was sitting in the middle and Hermione was right side of him, Ron it to his left) and gave her a big hug and kiss on the cheek. Ron looked away, blushing from his thoughts.
