Hermione woke up early that morning and started skimming through her trunk for her outfit. She found it slightly crushed but a quick wave of her wand and it looked brand new. Hermione had bought the dress sometime ago, two years, or thereabouts. It was a beautiful sky blue and went terrific with her brown locks of frizzy hair. The basic blue and silver beading looked stunning around the neck and the little necklace was adorable. She also had a beautiful blue bun holder that had blue flowers and sparkled decorating it.
All in all, it was a pretty amazing dress and attire and Hermione couldn't wait to get totally dressed up in it.
Hermione dug out her shampoo and conditioner and also got her special body wash to make her smell good enough to eat. Jumping into the shower, she twiddled the taps and water spouted over her, running in warm and then just right. She rubbed the specially made shampoo through her hair and whilst the conditioner was in, rubbed herself over with the body wash. It smelled a combination of watermelon and strawberry and Hermione reserved it for special occasions.
Padding herself dry, Hermione sprayed on her deodorant and put on some basic clothes, a denim skirt and light blue top. She was wearing this for most of the day until later so that she wouldn't get the dress dirty.
Slipping quietly down the stairs, Hermione lay on the couch that she had always shared with Harry and stared at the warm fire. She watched as the orange and yellow tongues of flame licked anxiously at the wood trying to disintegrate it. Hermione became so transfixed in this simple action she didn't even realise that someone was watching her. Hermione blinked a few times as everything came into focus and noticed it was Ron.
"Ron?" she asked, not sure if he was real or if she was imagining it.
"Yeah, it's me. How are you?" he replied.
"Oh my gosh! Ron is back at Hogwarts!" Hermione squealed. She was careful not to raise her voice too much so as to wake everyone else. "Why are you back?"
"Oh, well, I heard about that speech you had given last night from Dumbledore. He's been constantly owling me every morning since I left telling me of you and Harry and school life. I got an owl this morning saying how much it appeared you were missing me and I decided to skim over because I got some days leave from Beauxbatons. Anyway, how are you?"
"Oh, you know probably. Absolutely fine and dandy! Nothing much has been happening. I still can't do sport and I passed with the highest recorded score in my N.E.W.T.S."
"I heard."
"Have you heard Harry and I are engaged?"
"No. When did that happen?" Ron asked keenly.
"Well, Harry and I have gotten oh so close since you left because there wasn't any third party any more and well, he proposed a few weeks ago. Mind you, I was technically taken two years ago when he asked me if I would spend the rest of my life with him. Met any interesting girls at Beauxbatons?" Hermione asked grinning wickedly.
"Fleur and I are fantastic but I prefer her younger sister, Gabrielle. She doesn't know but Gabrielle and I see a fair bit of each other."
"Poor Fleur!" Hermione exclaimed.
"No, she's ok. She knows that I like Gabrielle better than her any way," Ron replied.
The couple chatted a bit longer and Hermione and Ron decided to get away from the common room and wander down to the Quidditch pitch and the grounds.
Continuing from where they left off, Ron and Hermione talked about school, home, love lives, friendships and enemies. Ron was surprised Draco was slightly kinder and Hermione was surprised that Viktor Krum was going out with some dark girl at Durmstrang. Hermione and Ron talked like old friends, old, old friends and catching up with Ron made Hermione's heart soar.

Harry rose and crept out of bed and got into the shower, cleaning and dressing efficiently. He got into his basic clothes and pulled back the curtains slightly, and was surprised to see Hermione and Ginny talking outside so early. He walked down the stairs and down to the door and swinging it open, spotted the pair almost instantly. Wandering over, her tapped Ginny on the shoulder and almost died when he realised who it was.
"Oh, hi Harry." Ron said awkwardly. Harry just stared and Ron started moving uncomfortably.
Hermione jumped up and kissed Harry and they sat down. Harry was just opening and closing his mouth like a fish and Hermione kissed him again.
"What are you doing here?" Harry hissed.
"Oh, and a 'hello to you too'. I'm here for the ball tonight and to find out how some of my friends are," Ron replied quietly.
"No one here likes you, no one. You have no friends, not in me, not in Padma or Parvati, not in Lavender. I'm sure you've found Hermione an interesting person to talk to, but you have no one here. You here that! No one!" Harry yelled angrily. Hermione anxiously rubbed Harry's back trying to calm him down.
"And you!" he rounded on her. "You! I thought I could trust you! How can I marry you if you want to spend time to this.this.this person that couldn't care if you lived or died?"
"Harry! Please! We were talking, that's all. I forgave Ron, it's not his fault that he can't deal with things like you! Ron really isn't that bad! Please don't be angry!" Hermione whimpered. Harry raised his hand and Hermione shrunk into a ball, waiting. But the hit never came. She glanced up and saw Ron gripping Harry's hand tightly, his knuckles white. Hermione scrambled a few metres away and Harry collapsed onto the grass, sobbing.
"I'm sorry.I'm so sorry." he mumbled. Hermione walked back over and ran her hands through his hair. He pulled her into a hug and she shrieked as she was pulled down suddenly. He hugged her tightly and Hermione was just going to gasp that she couldn't breathe when Ron spoke.
"Oh come on! If you want to do it, don't let me be sitting next to you!" Hermione and Harry laughed and sat up, brushing their lips.
Hermione then had to pull herself together enough to listen to all of Ron's trials and tributaries all over again. Every now and then Harry would sneak a kiss onto Hermione's lips and every now and then Hermione would hold Harry's hand. Ron couldn't help feeling a little dejected but figured he deserved it.
He also remembered he had never owled anyone, so no one probably even remembered him. The trio spent the morning catching up and Hermione couldn't help feeling on Cloud 9 with them all together again.
