AN: Please keep on reviewing. I'd like to say thanks to my first reviewers. Oh, and just in case it gets confusing, when I use the apostrophes (''), it represents someone's thoughts. I'm starting to think that on this story I'm going to have Ron narrate it, all from his POV. I'll try not to make it too confusing I hope, but talk to me if you have any questions.
Chapter 2
"Hi Ron, hey uh are you okay?" Hermione was trying really hard not to bust up laughing.
"Yeah I'm fine, I just wasn't expecting that." I stood up real quick and brushed the dust off my clothes. I could tell Hermione was trying not to laugh; at least she was being polite about it. "So, how's your summer been so far?"
"Oh, the usual, I was beginning to get a little bored with being stuck at home. I've really been looking forward to staying here and seeing you guys."
"Really? Uh I mean, yeah we've been looking forward to you staying here too." Jeez that was a close one. Man, she looks really great today. Her hair looks different; it's not as frizzy as it was before. I think she's gotten taller too.
"Well that's good. Ron are you there? Are you listening to me?"
I broke out of my daze, "Yeah I'm listening. Hey you want me to help you take your stuff up to Ginny's room?"
"Yeah sure, it would sure make it easier for me."
After they took the stuff up into Ginny's room they came back downstairs and sat at the kitchen table. They each helped themselves to butterbeers.
"You know what I was thinking Ron?" 'That you're madly in love with me, you just don't have the heart to tell me. Haha I wish' "We should throw a birthday party for Harry this year and invite some of our school friends to come. I betcha it would come as a huge surprise to him. We could have what muggles call a barbeque,"
"What's that?"
"I was going to tell you, before you interrupted."
"Sorry." I hope she's not too upset bout that, I don't need to get on her bad side.
"You're forgiven. Anyways a barbeque is where you fry food on a grill outside and you have a sort of picnic. Sometimes people also dig a whole in the ground to provide space for a bonfire, where you can dance around, or make smores and stuff."
"Hermione you always come up with the greatest plans. I think Harry is really going to love it when he gets here. I know he will definitely be surprised. I'm just wondering if mum will let us have such a big party/barbeque like that. Bill and Charlie are going to come to see Harry on his birthday too."
"Yeah you're probably right. We should talk to your mum before we go any farther with this plan."
"MUM! Hermione and I need to talk to you!"
Mrs. Weasley stormed in. 'Awe man what did I do this time?'
"Ron! Don't you just yell for me like that. If you need to talk to me about something, come to me, or politely ask. You don't need to demand that I come running over right at that instant. Maybe I was busy with something else."
"Mrs. Weasley, I'm sure Ron wasn't thinking about that, and I can say that we're both sorry. Next time we'll be sure to come to you."
"Yeah, sorry mum." I can't believe she stood up for me like that. I'm so lucky to have her as a friend. Mum's been like the mother from Hell lately. She's on me for every little thing I do. I keep wondering what her problem is.
"Well Hermione, I appreciate your apologies, but Ron should have known better. Moving along, Ron, what were you going to ask me?"
"We were wondering if we could throw Harry a party." Hermione talked her through all the details. Mum kept nodding her head, that's a good sign. I hope she says yes.
"That's very kind and thoughtful for both of you to think about throwing a party for Harry. It'll be good for him; you know take his mind of Sirius and such. I'll leave all the planning up to you guys. Have fun!"
