A Summer in the Burrow

- - - - - -

chapter 8 // Dinner.. is er- whoa

Ron and Harry were sitting in Ron's room dressed casually nice. Harry on a wooden chair and Ron on his bed.

Harry thankfully brought his whole wardrobe to the burrow, which wasn't too large. He wore one of Dudley's old white, nice undershirt type things. As did Ron though Ron's was a deep maroon. Ron wore Kackey dress-trousers and Harry wore black dressy-[ish] pants.

"What are they doing!?!" Ron yelled full of anger. He and Harry were starving. Ron had his hair in a sort of messy style and Harry was attempting to gel his ungellable hair down a bit flatter. It seemed to just keep its messy look so after a bit of Ron's continuous ranting he decided to give up.

"They could be maybe.. Hopefully, be cooking by now!" Harry said enthusiastically.

"THEY SHOULD'VE BEEN COOKING HOURS AGO!" Ron yelled full of impatience and furry.

"Hey calm down, Ronniekins, they'll be done soon." Harry said as he threw a half melted, falling apart toy of Victor Krum, a famous Bulgarian seeker, at Ron.

"Harry - That's the last thing I need thrown at me at this time." Ron said, his face red with anger. "Hermione better look bloody good!"

Ron covered his mouth and his head looked as if it were about to explode of blushishness. [AN: sorry I keep making up my own words.. (i.e.: blushishness, ungellable) you'll get used to it]

"I knew you had a thing for her! WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SOMETHING YOU NUTTER!? DIDN'T YOU-" Harry was now screaming at Ron with anger and excitement until he got cut off.

"HARRY! Don't say a bloody word alright? - Wait, wait, what am I saying? I don't have a "thing" for Hermione. And If I did, like you said, I er would've uhm you know, told you." Ron said looking rather confused with what was all coming out of his mouth.

"I'm rather impressed with you, mate. You've hid this secret love well! Mighty spiffy, Ron, miiighty spiffy of you." Harry said completely ignoring Ron's mutters and attempts at words. "I should've known though.. It was so OBVIOUS! I mean. Look at this bloody TOY of Viktor!" Harry said grabbing the tortured plastic figurine of Ron's ex-favorite quidditch player. "You were jealous that Hermione began to fancy Viktor! It all fits."

"Are you mad? I'm not jealous! Besides- If I DID, big DID there Harry, fancy hermione, she wouldn't take a liking to me anyway.. She's so beautiful now; by the 2nd day of school starting again she'll be dating Roger Davies!"

Roger Davies was a year older than the lot, and was the most popular boy with the girls in his year.

"Ron! YOU'RE the one who's gone mad! You know that she-" Harry got cut off by Ginny yelling up to them.

"DINNER! NOW, PRONTO! WE'RE STARVING OUR HEADS OFF!" Harry laughed at this remark and yelled down the stairs.

"ALIRIGHT, VIRGINIA, WE'RE COMING!"

"HEY! DON'T CALL ME THAT! HARRY, I'LL GET YOU! I KNOW WERE YOU SLEEP YOU KNOW!" Ginny yelled back up the stairs. Harry was having a laughing fit, everything at the burrow was so great to him.

"C'mon Ron. Get out of that daze and let's eat!" Harry yelled to Ron who was in a state of shock. After Harry had left the room Ron started thinking. He heard Harry yelling something to Ginny but couldn't make it out, he was too busy with his own thoughts.

'What wrong with me? Do I like hermione or something?… Nah! Of course not.'

He began talking to himself, "Blasted mouth, talks waaay too much." Ron said, the corners of his mouth turning upwards into a sexy Ron Weasley grin that any girl could fall in love with in a millisecond and choose ron as their beloved prince of Agraba and die to touch his- *ahem* Now where were we...

-- At Dinner -- [AN: I got a new scene line thing WOOH]

Ron finally made his way to the kitchen. Harry and Ginny were sitting there across from each other, not eating. Hermione though wasn't present.

"What's going on?" Ron said confused. The lights were so dim he couldn't see too much. He could make out though that Ginny had her hair up into a messy yet elegant bun with curly strands of hair flowing down from it. She also was wearing a light blue tight dress, showing off her curves. Harry has noticed that part. Heh..

"Ginners! You're hair is dashing. How come you've never worn it that way before?" Ron said as he sat down beside Harry. He began messing with the white silky table cloth, he was a bit embarrassed to be acting to close to his sister.

"Well, Hermione did it with some spell. She's such an amazing person, as you may already have noticed, Ron." Ginny said trying to muffle her giggles. Harry was smirking at Ron too, though Ron didn't notice this.

"Besides, what is Hermione doing?" Ron said after a few minutes passed. Ginny and Harry had been talking about quidditch and about how Ginny wants to be a seeker.

"Well she said that she was going to the bathroom for a few touchups. She's been "touch-uping" for atleast 15 minutes now. She made me finish the- I mean. Nevermind, there's no need in spoiling the desert for you all." Ginny said cheerfully and then going back to her conversation with Harry.

She seemed to feel so much more open with him now that they were staying under the same roof. She decided that she must get over her "Harry" disease if she wanted to seem the least bit like a nutter while he was visiting the burrow.

Harry soon brought up the subject on why the Weasley's call their house "The Burrow". Ron and Ginny actually had no clue, but Ginny guessed it was because Weasley sounds a bit like Weasel and Weasel's, she guesses, live in burrows! [AN: I thought that was pretty good myself eh?]

Hermione yelled down the stairs, "I'M SO SORRY! I DIDN'T MEAN TO TAKE SO LONG! Just er- lost track of time and.. well.." Hermione soon began mumbling to herself. She couldn't walk down the stairs fast. Ron thought she was probably wearing some kinda of fancy show or something.

Hermione showed up at the bottom of the staircase and Ron nearly fell out of his chair. He was goggling at her like a goggler in goggle land. She had her hair in beautiful ringlets and she was wearing a red strappy dress, her bustiness busting out everywhere. Ron had no clue she even had breast until now. Her wardrobe had never revealed anything of her body really. Ginny was a bit curvier but Hermione was such a vision to Ron.

"Hey!! I'm SO sorry it took me so lo-ONG!" Hermione tripped at the bottom of the stairs and fell beside Ginny's chair.

Harry made a low whistle and attempted holding back his laughter. Ron dashed up out of his chair and over to Hermione.

"Herm, are you alright?" Ron said crouching by Hermione and grabbing her hand.

"Of course I am, I just had a bit of a fall. I just uhm well uhm I er-" Hermione had looked up into Ron's dark blue eyes. He was mesmerizing. It was a crazy feeling she had, like she were locked into his sight and could never leave it again. Both shook they're heads at the same time and each thought 'This is crazy! Acting as if we'd never seen each other before or something.'

Ron helped Hermione up by grabbing her waist and hand and pulling her upwards. Harry and Ginny were both smiling like loons and glancing at each other and smiling more.

'I swear, those two have really growing to each other.. Laughing by just looking at one another and then to me and Hermione.. and then.. er At each other again, LAUGHING AWAY LIKE LOONS! I GET IT! [AN: OMG! HE GETS IT!] THEY BOTH THINK THAT- well no that'd never happen. Me and Herm don't like each other that way! -Pfft- well, in my dreams maybe..'

When Ron stopped arguing with himself in his brain, everyone was looking at him. He had not let go of Hermione's hand or waist. She was impatiently looking at him. He jerked awkwardly away from Hermione and walked to his seat while she walked to hers beside Ginny.

"WELL! Let's start the uh, welcome to the burrow dinner!" Ginny said anxiously.

"Er- and the going away chaperones dinner!" Hermione stated anxiously as well.
