Here's the next chapter. As you can see, I now have a title and a better summary. Maybe people will actually read this now! Enjoy!
Chapter 3
Hermione couldn't wait to spend her summer with the Weasleys. She loved spending time with her parents, but it just wasn't the same as hanging around other witches and wizards.
Her parents had dropped her off at the Leaky Cauldron, because Hermione's owl from Ron had said that a member of the Weasley family would meet her there to help her floo her things to the Burrow.
So she sat by the fireplace, and waited for whoever was going to come and get her. She had just about given up hope of someone arriving on time when one of the twins walked out of the fireplace.
"Hey Hermione!" he said, walking over to her, "How's your summer been?"
"Pretty good, George, how about yours?" she replied.
"Wow! How'd you know I was George?" he asked, dumbfounded.
"Just a lucky guess," she said, smiling.
"Oh, OK then, if you don't mind, I was wanting to stop by Quality Quidditch Supplies. I'm supposed to pick up everyone's gifts for Harry's birthday."
"Holy Cricket! That's coming up soon, isn't it?"
"Yeah, just a few more weeks, and we figured this would be the only to make it to Diagon Alley without him getting suspicious, since we had a reason to be here."
"I think I'll come with you. I need to get him something as well. But perhaps we should get him some things that aren't Quidditch things. He'd think that's all we thought of him, A Quidditch player."
"Yeah, you're right, we an go other places, too. Everyone just gave me some money and told me what to get, but you and me can go get him some other things. We can stay a little while, too. The whole family knows we'll be a little late, but if Harry asks about it, I'll just tell him you wanted to go to the book store," he said with a wink.
Hermione just rolled her eyes as they left her things with the innkeeper, and went to go shopping.
By the time they had gotten back to the Cauldron, it was already an hour later, but they had all of Harry's birthday presents. They stashed the gifts in Hermione's trunk, and were off to the Burrow.
When the arrived at the Burrow, they were met by Harry and Ron, looking a little worried.
"Hermione!" yelled Ron, as he ran across the room to give her a hug, "We thought something had happened. You're an hour late." Hermione almost laughed at how fake Ron sounded, since he knew very well why they were late.
"Oh, she wanted to go to the book store," George explained with a smile, "I never realized how long someone could stay in a book store."
Hermione just slapped him on the arm, and told him to help her get her trunk upstairs. He pulled a very Igorish "yes master" and helped her drag her things up the stairs.
Ginny was more than excited to see Hermione.
"Hermy!!! Finally! Another girl!!!!!!!!!!!" she said, as Hermione and George entered the room.
Hermione hugged her friend, and thanks George for his help.
"Anything for you, Master," he said in his Igor voice, then switched to his normal voice, "I'll drop by later to pick up the things we got today. Toodles!" And he left the girls to find his twin, and make some mischief.
