Confessions Chapter 3: Staring and Screaming

The ride to the Burrow was uneventful. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were chatting happily up in the front of the car, completely unaware of the awkward silence that had taken over in the back. Ron, Hermione, and Ginny were all lost in their own thoughts, and all three were thinking of a certain "other" person. Ron thought of Hermione, which was quite normal, as Hermione was never far from his mind. Hermione thought of Ron, also a normal occurrence. Ginny stared out the window and thought of the one member of the "Dream Team" that was not present. That's right, she thought of Harry.

His green eyes had captivated Ginny for seven long years. At school, she would find some kind of excuse to go to wherever Harry happened to be. Her gaze would follow the boy who lived everywhere, and she memorized his schedule every year. She was sure that it was love, the kind that lasts forever.

She was also, however, sure that the feeling wasn't mutual. That is, she was sure up until her 4th year, when she and Harry and become good friends. It was strange, he had always ignored her before, thinking of the redhead as merely his best friend's little sister, but this was different. Ginny could tell Harry anything, and most often did. One of the few secrets she kept from him was the fact that the crush she had had as a child had grown into full-blown love…and that it had stayed that way.

Ron, Hermione, and Ginny all dreamed about what would happen if they ever got together with the object of their affection until they heard Mr.Weasley stop the car and announce, "We're home!"

Everyone, being exhausted from the long day, went to bed immediately after arriving at the Burrow. Ron awoke to the smell of bacon simmering on the stove and eggs frying in a pan. He breathed deeply, inhaling the heavenly scent of home. After pulling a t-shirt on over his boxer shorts, he made his way down to the kitchen, rubbing his eyes sleepily.

"Why good morning, Ron!" Mrs.Weasley said, barely looking up from her cooking.

"What's for breakfast?" Ron replied.

"Ron! What kind of way is that to greet your mother? You're an adult now, I should make you cook your own meals!" his mother answered.

Ron grinned, it still hadn't quite hit him that he would have to start looking for a job, and that he wouldn't be going back to Hogwarts in September. Just then, Ginny trudged down the stairs, rubbing her eyes as she yawned.

*"Hullo, Ginny," Ron said

"Hey, Ron," Ginny answered as she sat down at the table, the loosely tied pale green robe slipping off her shoulders, revealing sunny yellow pajamas.

"Well, breakfast is ready. Ginny, go and get Hermione up. Dad already had to leave for work." Molly said.

Ginny rolled her eyes and started to stand up, but Ron cut in, "I'll do it, Mom."

At this Ginny began to grin mischievously. She obviously had some schemes to get her brother and friend together that summer.

Ron, seeing the expression on Ginny's face, shot a look at her, then glancing at Mrs.Weasley, clearly saying that the slightly plump, bustling redhead that was his mother better not find out about his "crush." Then he proceeded up the staircase.

He stood at the door for a few moments, debating whether to knock or just go into the guest room that had been turned into Hermione's bedroom. Finally he decided just to walk in. At first he saw spots, for the room was much lighter than the hallway, but after his eyes adjusted to the light, the beautiful scene before him, amazed him.

Sunlight poured through the open window, illuminating Hermione's face. Her creamy, tan skin stood out against her coffee colored spiral curls, which were fanned around on her pillow. Although Hermione had most definitely grown up, when she slept she appeared vulnerable…so vulnerable that Ron wanted to stand there forever, just to protect her from anything that might ever happen. And he did stand there for quite a while, just watching Hermione sleep.

He walked over to her bed and sat on the edge gingerly, trying not to wake her. She smiled slightly and snuggled more into the covers. Ron sat there, taking in her beauty. He leaned over to caress her smooth check when he was broken out of his reverie. Hermione stirred, yawning, and began to sit up. Ron jumped up and landed in a heap on the floor. Hermione opened her eyes and looked at Ron, confused.

"What are you doing on my floor?" she asked.

"Uhh…Well I just came in to wake you up for breakfast! Come on now!" Ron answered quickly, standing and brushing himself off.

Ginny poked her head in the door as Hermione was opening her mouth to reply, "Hurry up! Breakfast's getting cold!"

Then she saw the scene before her, "Should I leave you two alone?"

Ron started at her but Ginny just giggled and ran down the steps, saying, "Don't be too long!"

"Well I'll just go down now…Come on when you're ready," Ron said before sliding out the door and screaming at Ginny, "GET BACK HERE VIRGINIA WEASLEY! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"

Hermione simply rolled her eyes and grinned, but inside was wondering what Ron had been doing before she woke up…
