Ron's Secret
It was considered still early at the Burrow and there's no sign of any stir from the rest of the family. Mr. & Mrs. Weasley finally regained their cheerful self and were fussing over Harry. "Do you still have the side effect of the full body bind charm?", " Are you hungry? Breakfast will be ready in a minute." They seemed to have forgotten that Harry had just had his breakfast at the Dursleys' but he didn't bother to remind them for he don't mind a second breakfast of Mrs. Weasley's delicious cooking. Finally, Mr. Weasley said solemnly, " Please try to forget the happening this morning and we shall agree on the story of us deciding to fetch you earlier." Harry nodded his head not wanting to ask any more questions and waited for the "first" stir in the morning.
Ron was the first to wake up and when he appeared sleepy-headed at the landing of the stairs, then he noticed that Harry was grinning at him. "Oh, I didn't know you learnt how to apparate over the holiday", Ron said thickly. "Nonsense, Ron gave yourself a tight slap to wake yourself up, we decided to welcome Harry dear earlier and went to fetch him from the muggles early this morning", Mr. Weasley said giving Harry a side look. By this time, the rest of the Weasleys had seated around the table waiting for breakfast. "I've sent an owl to Hermione to invite her over for the rest of the summer", Ron informed Harry. At this, Mrs. Weasley dropped her pan, "I don't remember asking her over and I don't think it is very convenient for a gal to stay with so many grown up boys."
"Mummy, she is not the type of scarlet woman that Skeeter cow said", Ron shouted across the table and he looked at Harry for support. "Oh! Yeah, yes, she is never my galfriend and I don't think she likes me more than Ron", Harry said defiantly. "But I cant take the risk, she is so close to you dear and that Victor Krum.." And before she can finish her sentence Ron interrupted, "She is my galfriend and she likes me and no other." The reast of the Weasleys including Harry stared at Ron open-mouthed and when thay had got over the shock, George blurted out,"So that's why you reacted so greatly when she was in good terms with that Krum guy." Both George and Fred looked at each other and grinned wickedly, Harry knew that they were up to no good.
Mr. Weasley fetched Hermione the next day and when she reached the Burrow, Mrs. Weasley greeted her with a big hug and fussed over her. At lunch, Mrs. Weasley forced Hermione to take extra servings and after lunch when all of them sat together at the living room, George and Fred were behaving suspiciously, and finally Hermione couldn't take it, "Mrs. Weasley seems to have gotten over the Skeeter article too well." Ginny sniggered, " Because you are part of the family and I will be calling you sis soon". "Sis? Part of the family? Don't tell me Mrs. Weasley wants to be my godmother." "No such thing only that.." "You are his galfriend and thus you are being treated special", Harry finished the sentence for Ron. Ron was blushing furiously and Harry noted that Hermione was blushing too, her eyes simply can't meet Ron's. At that moment, Fred recited, "Hermione dear, you are my sunshine, my Bertie Bort's every flavor bean, my chocolate frog, my sugar quill." and George followed, "Ronnie honey, you are my library, my books, my lessons, my exams..". Both Ron and Hermione blushed ten shade darker and Harry sensing the ackward situation, shouted over George and Fred's voice, "Oh, cut the crap, Ron only said that to shut Mrs. Weasley up and to clear her misunderstanding of Hermione, didn't you?" Ron didn't answer and instead blushed to a shade as red as his hair. Finally Harry cracked up and shouted, "Let's have a game of Quiditch, guys".
Mrs. Weasley continued to shower Hermione with concern and attention and the rest of the Weasleys teased Ron at every possible opportunity and time flies. Too soon, they were packing all their Hogwarts stuffs (Mrs. Weasley had offered to do the shopping for all of them) and were heading to the King's
