After Ron collected himself, he regains his composure, "So when do we leave?"

"Tomorrow." She said. The sun was setting and the three walked into the house. "So what do you want to do?" She started to get goose bumps on her arms from the air conditioning. "Actually hold on to the thought, im going to get changed. Harry how about you show Ron where you to are staying." After getting into a pair of khaki pants and plain white tank top, she headed for the boys room. Outside the door she heard them talking, and laughing.

"Shut up Ron." Harry said and hit his arm. "I don't need this from you."

"Ok fine." Ron said smiling a big grin. Hermione walked in.

"Don't need what?" She asked. Harry looked at Ron darkly but his gaze softened when he looked at Hermione.

"Nothing." He smiled. "I need to get changed. No offense but your house is freezing."

"Its because you are wet dufus." Ron said and leaned back on his bed. While they waited for Harry to change into different clothes, that weren't wet, they talked about their summers.

"So Ron, how's things with your family?" Hermione asked. Ron looked at her confused.

"Fine." He stated slowing. He smiled evilly at her. "How long have you liked Harry?"

"What are you talking about?" Hermione asked being taken off guard when he asked the question. "I don't like him." She lied to him and herself., but her body language gave it away, she said to quickly and her voice cracked. She started playing with her hair, and looked off out the window.

"Liar." Ron observed, he has known Hermione for almost 7 years. He knew when she was lying.

"I am not." She lied again.

"You always start playing with your hair when you are lying Hermione." Ron said between laughs and Hermione punching him. He was fighting her off when Harry came out to watch the two.

"Golly I leave for one minute and you two are fighting like cats and dogs." Harry said.

"Help me Harry." Ron said. Harry watched for a while but went to his friend, to help him. He grabbed Hermione about the waist to take her off of Ron. He pulled her back away so she couldn't kick him. "And how do you mean by cats and dogs?"

"They are animals that don't get along." Harry explained. "Like mice and cats."

"Oh, so dogs want to eat cats." Ron asked. "Lets get one and bring it here, then crookshanks will.." before he could answer Hermione had jumped on him again to shut him up. Harry then again pulled her off.

"Calm down you." Harry said quietly in her ear. He took in a breath. The smell of coconuts came to mind; it was burned into his mind as the essence of Hermione. She wanted to stay there all day, but felt uncomfortable with Ron there.

"You know I think we should go see about dinner." She said breaking the moment of happiness Harry was experiencing. She walked down the stairs and Harry frowned. Ron mimicked his face and burst out laughing.

"Ron shut up." Harry said and punched Ron in the arm. "You know someday you will like a someone too, lets hope, and the girl will know not to like her for her own good, but you will see what I am going through, because I will be there every step of the way, teasing you."

"Harry what makes you thinks that I don't already have a girlfriend." Ron gave him a look that said do you believe me or not. Harry stared at Ron, to see if he could tell if he was lying or not. He stared into the eyes that were dancing with humor. He hardened his look that made Ron feel uncomfortable and then smile.

"Ok I don't have a girlfriend." He said. "But like you said I might meet one."

"Right right." Harry agreed. The walked down the hall and the stairs to find Hermione already seated in a chair.

"Thank you for gracing us with your present boys." She said sweetly, but quite sarcastically. She gave them a smile that could disarm an army. Harry and Ron took seats across from her; she didn't once look away from Harry's eyes. They were so full of life, and passion the intensity he had on her when he looked at her, made her having to remember to breathe. She commanded herself to look away when her father took a seat, and when her mom came in with food.

"Wow it smells delicious Mrs. Granger." Ron commented. Harry nodded in agreement.

"Well thank you Ron." She said and dished some food for the boy. When everyone's plate was full, they ate silently. Jack Granger who didn't know anything about the boys started to pry to find information about them, because he had none from his only child.

"So, how old are you boys?" Jack asked innocently.

"We are both seventeen sir." Harry answered for both because Ron was still chewing the bit of food that was in his mouth, and he didn't want Ron to answer with food in his mouth because he had a habit to spite it on people.

"Hermione you are sixteen right." Jack asked in reassurance.

"Yes dad." Hermione answered. She knew what he was getting at. "But in September I am turning 17." She looked to her mother to change the direction of the conversation was going in. She nodded.

"So what kind of sports are you boys into." Fiona asked, Ron had swallowed his food by that part and excitedly said.

"Quidditch." He said, forgetting these are muggles and had no idea of what kind of sports they played in the magical world. He saw their confused faces. Harry began to explain.

"It's a magical sport, played on broomstick." Harry informed the confused muggle parents. He also knew if Ron was going to explain the story, they would be even more confused after the explanation then before.

"Sounds like fun." Fiona replied.

"It is, the greatest, Harry and I are on the house team, and Harry here is the team captain." Ron said admiring his best friend and the title. "I play keeper, I keep the other players from scoring. Harry here is the seeker and he finds the snitch which is a small gold ball with wings and its extra hard for people to see, but Harry is exceptional at it."

"What else do you boys do?" Jack asked.

"Oh there's books, and our studies." Harry said. "Classes take a lot out of a person."

"Yeah and homework, cant for get that." Ron said disgusted. "I don't anyone besides Hermione here that actually likes doing it."

"I don't like doing it Ron." Hermione protested. "I do it early to get it over with, and not have to worry later."

"Yeah, yeah." Ron said going back to his mash potatoes. Harry smiled he was used to his friends to bicker like that. Well Hermione being levelheaded and Ron being well a bit of a procrastinator. "So do you guys like the magical world?"

"Oh it has its differences." Jack said. "That owl system scared me."

"Funny." Ron started. "I could imagine you screaming your head off." Jack grew red because that is exactly what happened. Hermione laughed and Fiona exited the room to get desert.

"I hope you boys saved room for plum cake." Fiona asked as she came in from the kitchen.

"Oh you bet Mrs. Granger." Replied the boy with red hair. "I could always have room for that."

"You could have room for anything Ron." Harry laughed and Ron smirked at him. He started to open his mouth to say something in reply to embarrass Harry but he stopped because her parents were there. If it had only been Hermione sure he would of loved to make them both squirm in their seats.

"Thanks." He said instead when he received his piece. After dinner, they sat in the sitting room to discuss the plans of tomorrow. Jack started.

"So Hermione, your mother and I have discussed it, and we have both think that you are capable of driving yourself there." Jack said. (LETS JUST PRETEND THEY CAN DRIVE) "So I want you to be careful with my baby." He said giving her the keys to his 4-runner. He was shaky but he held back from asking it back. Hermione was surprised but hugged him and ran upstairs to tell the boys.

"Guess how we are getting to Edinburgh." Hermione said loudly. "We get to drive." She said not waiting for their guesses, because she knew they wouldn't know. She jumped up and down.

"So when do we have to leave?" Ron asked yawning because he was complete, now full of good food.

"Early." Hermione replied. "I want to get there before it gets to late."

"It wont takes that long Herm." Harry said. He didn't want to get up early.

"Well I am driving so." She smiled devilishly. "Now I would go to bed now." She said. Then hurried from the room for anymore of their protests.

"Harry, you are one lucky man." Ron said laughing. He rolled over on his bed so his back was to Harry. "Night." He said and was soon found fast asleep. Harry changed into his pajamas, and tried to sleep but when he closed his eyes he saw the smiling face of Hermione. He shook his head and fell asleep. He woke up in the middle of the night, not being able to sleep, he was hot, so he through off his shirt. He couldn't get back to sleep. He was watching the ceiling. He fell asleep an hour later right at the sun was creeping over the window shade. The sunlight dancing across his face he rolled over to sleep some more. Ron had already gotten up and was in the bathroom. Hermione knocked softly on the door in case one of the boys was dressing. There was no answer to she continued in. Harry was peacefully sleeping, and she walked over to his bed watching the rise and fall of the sheets that was caused the rise and fall of his stomach. She was close now and could feel the breath of the slumbering boy brush over her skin. She tapped him lightly on the shoulder. He shifted a bit. She smiled and shook him more forcefully.

"Harry come on its time to go." She whispered into his ear. He covered his ears. She started tickling him. "Come on sleepy head." His eyes opened but closed slightly because the sleep that existed still in his eyes. Hermione still had her hands resting on his waist. "Are you awake now?" She asked bending closer to his face. He felt her breath on his face.

"Yeah, but I don't want to be." He said. He glared in her direction.

"Come on its time to go." She said and pulled the sheets off him and it revealed his nice muscle stomach. She looked at him in awe. He nodded and didn't notice her shocked reaction.

"What time it is?" He asked staring around and rubbing his eyes.

"Its 7." She said. He nodded and looked at her. "Ok then, lets go." He rummaged for a shirt, he didn't need to pack because it was already done and out in the car.

"But what about breakfast." He asked.

"We are having donuts in the car, now come on.' She said while pulling him from his bed. He got up let go of Hermione and grabbed his shoes and socks. Ron was waiting downstairs.

"Look who is gracing us with their presence." Ron said in an arrogant voice attempting to sound like Hermione. Harry laughed and Hermione glared at him.

"Lets go." She ordered. They walked out the door. She kissed her mother and father good bye and wished them a good trip, they did the same. Harry climbed into the back and fell back asleep. The other two climbed in the front and started on the quest to Edinburgh. She only stopped once the whole trip and that was to get gas. She didn't really like driving but it was the quickest and the most parentless way to get to the wedding. As she was pulling back on to the road, she was cut off and honked at which paranoid her even more. Harry was waken from the jerk, and could hear the paranoia in Hemrione's breath. He put his hand on her shoulder and started to massage it, with his touch, she slowly became comfortable, and he stopped. A few hours later they arrived at the hotel, it was quite a large one. Hermione walked in quickly to find Sarah. "Wait here." Inside the sliding doors was a big open lobby, you could see off down a hall was a pool, and weight room; there was a massive dinning area down another hall, it being the Hotel's restaurant. She strolled to the front desk.

"How may I help you?" He asked.

"I am here with the wedding party, and I am looking for the bride Sarah Pots." She said hoping the name would help the man.

"Oh yes, she rented out the whole hotel." He said and dialed a number, and told that a guest had arrived.

"HERMIONE!" A girl screamed from the elevator.

"SARAH!" She yelled in surprise and ran to get a hug. "How are you?"

"Great, just great." She said and Hermione took her hand and looked at the band.

"Wow its pretty." Hermione admired the stone.

"Where are you friends, I don't see any one but a fine young man over that away." Hermione turned in the direction and Harry saw here and started over towards. "To bad im engaged. IM kidding Hermione."

"Hermione should we bring in the bags?" Harry asked. Sarah stood there in shock. "Ron is tired still, and wants to lie down and sleep."

"Harry, don't be rude, this is my cousin Sarah." She introduced him to Sarah. He smiled and shook the brides hand.

"Congratulations, and sorry, just my friend can get very I don't know disturbed?" Harry asked looking at Hermione. She smiled back at him.

"Oh I see, I know a girl just like that." Sarah smiled sweetly and looked at Hermione.

"Yeah same here." Harry said catching on and looked at Hermione as well. She ignored the comment.

"So where are we staying?" She inquired and was handed a key.

"I seriously thought you had like girl friends coming with you." She said. "But it's a double bed room, and the boys can share a bed. Or maybe you and one of the boys." Giving them a wink and made the teens both blush or look away. They walked out to the car and got the luggage well, Harry and Ron carried the luggage and Hermione led the way. Their room was on the third floor and half way down the hall. They reached the door and Hermione took forever to open the door just to make the boys mad.

"Hermione hurry, I have to pee." Ron complained and jumped up and down on one leg.

"I didn't need to know that Ron." She said and opened the door they didn't set the bags down but just threw them on the floor, Ron ran to the bathroom. While he was finishing, his business there was a knock on the door. Carrie, Sarah's little sister was knocking. In addition, another family embrace happened. Hermione hugged her close cousin; it had been ages since she had seen her external family. She loved them so especially Sarah and Carrie. Carrie was her age and has long blonde hair, blue eyes, and taller then Hermione. Her sister was a split image but had brown hair, and sometimes they acted as twins. Carrie now was in her cousin rooms, told that Hermione brought boys, one obviously very close to her.
