Hermione slowly brought all of her Hogwarts things downstairs the next night. She had sent Pigwidgeon back with her letter in the morning saying she'd be at the Burrow tonight. She was almost positive that Pigwidgeon wouldn't make it back before she got there but she sent her answer back anyway. She had asked her parents if she could stay at Ron's and they agreed like they always did. Her parents were glad that their daughter had a wonderful boyfriend who cared deeply for her and could make her happy, but they noticed she didn't look too happy about going than she usually was.
"Honey, is something wrong?" her mother asked worryingly, walking over to Hermione who was standing near the fireplace.
Hermione shook her head and forced a weak smile, "No, Mum. I'm just fine. Just a little tired, I guess."
"Well,
honey, you could rest for a bit. I'm sure Ron wouldn't mind…" Her mother
stated, resting her hand upon her daughter's shoulder.
Hermione shook her head again, "Sorry, Mum, but I already sent Pigwidgeon saying I'd be there tonight." Her mother nodded understandingly as her father walked down stairs to join his daughter and wife.
"Is everything alright, love?" He asked his sleepy looking daughter. She nodded and looked up at him, her eyes telling him to please drop the subject. He walked over to her and pulled her into a hug. "Have fun at your last year at Hogwarts. Don't get into too much trouble, okay?"
Hermione smiled, "I will Dad. I'll try to write to you often, but not too much because I don't want the neighbors seeing an owl flying into the house every other week." Her father nodded understandingly.
Hermione was next hugged by her mother, who was near in tears. "Don't forget us, okay? I want a letter at least once a month or so!" Hermione laughed and hugged her mother back. After what seemed like an hour, they broke apart and Hermione walked over to the lit fireplace. She took out the Floo Powder and threw it in.
"Say hi to Ronald for me!" her mother cried, forcing a weak smile.
"And make sure he treats you right!" Her father added. She smiled weakly once again at them.
"Don't worry-I will! I love you, bye!" And with that, she stepped into the fireplace shouting "The Burrow!" and disappeared into the Emerald Green Flames.

Hermione felt the familiar swirling around her while she kept her eyes shut tight. The first time she had done this, she felt like see was about to vomit, but having done this a couple times now, she barely felt sick. The only queasiness she felt was about talking to Ron. What happened if he didn't feel the same way about her?
Suddenly, Hermione felt herself being thrown forward, her Hogwarts things with her. Coughing a little from the soot, she struggled up to her feet and looked around. She was looking into the Weasley living room, which was nearly all dark except for the little light that the moon was giving through the open windows. Hermione glanced at her watch; 10:00 P.M.
Normally the house would be raging of noise and explosions, but since most of the Weasley boys moved out already, it was quite quiet. Bill and Charlie Weasley had already been out of the house when Hermione met Ron, so it wasn't a huge surprise that they weren't here. But, sadly, Percy, George, and Fred Weasley had all moved out last year.
Percy, though had already been out of Hogwarts since Hermione's 5th Year, had just moved out into a house near the Ministry of Magic, where he was now Head of the Department of International Co-operation.
Fred and George Weasley lived in a Small Cottage which was located in Hogsmeade, behind their very successful Joke Shop. Mrs. Weasley, who had wanted her twins to be in the Ministry, was only disappointed a bit. She was happy her sons were successful and that they were doing what they really wanted to do.
Hermione was just about to pick up her Hogwarts things when she felt two arms snake around her waist and someone's lips pressed against her neck.
Whipping around, Hermione saw Ronald Weasley standing there, a playful smile was placed on his face.
