Chapter 1
Ron Weasley sat in his bedroom at the top floor of the Burrow. He was sitting on his bed, reading a piece of parchment. The parchment was worn, with smudges and stains, indicating that it had been read and abused many times over. Tiny tears and rips showed where it had been won in scuffles or rescue attempts from the other Weasley children. After a few minutes, Ron replaced it in a secret drawer in his nightstand. Then he stood up, walked towards the door, turned off the light, and headed downstairs.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Across the country, Hermione Granger was packing her bag for the remainder of the holiday. One of her best friend, Ron, had invited her to stay the rest of the summer with him at his house. Her parents had agreed as Hermione had gone many times before and they felt that as she was entering her final years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry she was capable of making responsible decisions. It still, however, took much convincing on Hermione's part. She had to reassure them several times that she and Ron were not "involved" as her parents put it. They were simply friends, nothing more.
What her parents did NOT know was this: 1. All of Ron's siblings had moved out except Ginny. 2. Ginny was going to stay with Harry at Sirius' house so that she could meet whom everyone recognized as future in-laws. 3. Ron's mother had a new job that required her to go in for work early, and come home late. Molly Weasley loved it. 4. Hermione had a huge crush on Ron, and had had for many years now, and finally saw all of this as a sign to "get her act together."
Hermione sighed happily as she packed the last item into her bag: her very own copy of "Quidditch Through the Ages."
She was leaving at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and she couldn't wait.
