AN- Well, I've decided that I'm going to rewrite the beginning chapters and
edit some other things. Don't worry though, its not the whole story and it
will basically have the same plot line, etc. Thanks. Read and review!

Hermione and Ginny slammed together and bounced back. "Ha. Well that was a nice attempt at a hug!" Ron said walking towards them. He helped them both up and gave Hermione a rigid hug. "Nice to see you again. Mums making lunch."
"Come on Hermione. We'll get you set-up in my room. We have enough time before we eat." Ginny grabbed her hand and dragged her to the Burrow. Ron followed along in stride. Hermione and them exchanged smiles, both thinking Ginny was a little over excited.
"Hey 'Mione, good to see you again." Fred and George said in union.
"Fred, George, up to your room and clean that mess you made. If I see any more of the Weasley Wizard Wheeze', you'll both be spending the rest of the summer de-gnoming the garden!" She sighed, her face red. Then she turned to Hermione. "Hello dear." She plastered a kiss on Hermione's cheek and a smile on her own face. "I hope you're hungry."
Hermione's stomach let out a rumble, she grinned and Ginny grabbed her hand again, and tugged her arm up the stairs. They got into Ginny's room and it looked the same. Green walls plastered with paraphernalia. This always fascinated Hermione. There were clippings of newspapers, Witch Weekly, and some of her own drawings. Pictures of her family, pop labels she'd gotten when she was in the muggle world, or Hermione had given her. Not many people knew that Hermione had been there before. She'd sneak away from home for a few days in the summer. After her first year, she didn't know where to go, then she remembered Ron. She walked biked, ran, and rode. She got to 'The Burrow' and chickened out. She caught sight of the house and turned in the opposite direction to run. But she ran straight into Ginny. Ginny snuck her in after everyone was asleep. Hermione's done the same thing every year since. This is the only one that was announced to the family.
Ginny sat expectantly on her bright navy blue comforted bed. Hermione plunked her backpack / luggage on the corner bed. She took off the "make it smaller gadget" and it turned into her heavy trunk. Ginny was watching over her shoulder. Hermione smiled to herself, she knew Ginny was waiting for her regular gift from the muggle land.
"Hmm. Something got all over my clothes. Smells like maple." She laughed inside her head and grabbed the jar of maple butter. She turned around to find Ginny holding her breath. "I'm kidding" she said and handed Ginny the jar. "Oh, and I brought you two 1 litre bottles of Coke."
"YES! You know you're my best friend, right Hermione?!" Ginny said backwards, as she tore off the labels on the Coke and maple butter. Then sticking it on the wall.
"Yes Ginny, and your mine!" Hermione smiled at her. "Guess what happened just before I got here!" Ginny half ran over to Hermione. They both sat down on the bed. Ginny started eating the maple butter with her fingers. "Gross, Ginny your going to ruin your appetite."
Ginny shrugged, "I'll manage. So what happened?"
"Well" She began and told her the whole 'Marcus Flint' story. She didn't tell her about Krum, Justin, or why she left home so early. 'If they ask, I'll tell her, otherwise whatever.'
"KIDS, ITS TIME FOR LUNCH!!!" Mrs. Weasley yelled up the stairs.
They all ran into each other when they got in the hall. "Oops!" came from every direction. Ginny was all red from laughing so hard at Hermione's story, gaining very strange looks from her brothers. Hermione couldn't hold in her laughter either. (You know that laugh you get when some one else is laughing.)
They all sat down to eat. Ron had been helping his mom. He was covered head to toe in flour. Fred and George were poking jokes. "Aww, ickle Ronniekins is the new momma's boy! Taking over for Percy are you?"
"Oh stuff it Fred" "George." Hermione corrected him. All heads turned her way. "What'd I do?"
"You knew who was who?" George asked. "Mum still has trouble with it." He got up from his seat and walked over to where she was seated, and got on his knee. "Hermione will you marry me?"
Everyone started laughing, except George that is. "No I was serious." Hermione rolled her eyes.
"But really now. I can't tell the difference, how did you?" Ron questioned.
"Well" Said Hermione, now blushing. " George has a freckle in the corner of his right eye, and Fred winked at me before he sat down." 'Pause for effect' she thought to herself. "Fred always winks at me." They laughed as Fred's mouth fell open.
"Uhh. Wow, I'm really hungry." Fred said as he grabbed a roll.
