Forever With You

Chapter 2-When Harry and Ron arrived

George and Hermione spent the next two hours reminiscing. They talked about their friends and family. They talked about the good times they had had at Hogwarts, and they even talked about all of the problems they had when they were in school.

When Harry and Ron walked in the house, they found George and Hermione in the living room.

"Hi, Hermione," Ron said.

"Ron!" Hermione said and got out of her chair and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Where's Harry?"

"He's outside. He'll be here soon," Ron replied.

"Where have you guys been all afternoon?" Hermione asked.

"We've been looking at brooms. Harry needs to get a new one if he's going to be playing professional quidditch!" Ron said.

Hermione replied, "I should have guessed."

"Sorry, you had to wait for us, Herm. We wouldn't have gone if you would have told us you were coming," Ron said.

"I owled you a week ago and told you I was coming!" Hermione said.

"Uh, oops. I guess I forgot." Ron said.

"It's okay. I'm used to it. It was alright anyway, it gave me some extra time to spend with George. We haven't really talked since he left school. I was glad to have time to speak with him again," Hermione said and sent George a smile.

"Yes, thanks for leaving, Ron," George said. "You and Harry always get to spend time with her. I wish you'd learn to share. Hermione's such a great girl. I wonder why she spends so much time with you ugly gits."

"Gee, thanks, George." Ron said sarcastically and gave his older brother a dirty look.

"No problem," George said and smiled. Then he sent Hermione a saucy wink.

Just then Harry walked in the door. "Harry!" Hermione yelled.

She walked up to Harry and was going to greet him in the same way she had greeted Ron but when she put her arms around him he put his arms around her, lifted her off the ground and spun her around in circles, "Hi, Hermione!" He said. "How's my best friend doing?"

"Uhh, great I just was..." Hermione said a little flustered by the way Harry was behaving.

"Perfect!' Harry exclaimed and gave her a quick kiss on her mouth.

"Harry? What's gotten into you today?" Hermione asked because she was so taken back by his behavior.

"Nothing. I've just had a great day! Can't I be happy to see my best friend that I haven't seen for a couple of months?" Harry asked.

"Of course," Hermione said and then saw the huge grin on his face, "What happened today, Harry?"

"Oh, nothing. I just have a date," Harry said.

"With whom?" Hermione asked.

"Only the most beautiful girl in the world!" Harry said.

"And who would that be this week?" Hermione asked.

"Padma Patil. She's just as gorgeous as Parvati, only she's not stupid and has a sense of humor."

"Really? I thought she was with Roger Davies," George said.

"Not anymore. They broke up!" Harry said excitedly.

"You should have heard him, Hermione. He was trying to act sympathetic, but you could tell that he was glad that they weren't together anymore. He sounded like a huge idiot," Ron said. "It was all I could do to keep from laughing."

"I'm sorry I missed that," Hermione said and then she looked at Harry who was blushing furiously. She felt sorry for him so she decided to change the subject. "So how did broom shopping go?"

The three boys started talking excitedly about racing brooms and quidditch, and the new Firebolt, but Hermione soon grew bored of the conversations so she decided to go upstairs and unpack, "I'm going to go upstairs to Ginny's room to unpack."

"You can sleep in Percy's old room. It's the guest room now." Ron said.

"Okay," Hermione said. "See you guys later."

"Are you sure you don't want to stay here with us?" George asked.

'Yes," Hermione said. "You know how much I know about quidditch techniques."

"Well, okay then," George replied.

"Bye," Hermione said and walked up the stairs.

When she arrived in Percy's old room she set her bags on the floor and collapsed on the bed. She needed some time to think. She needed to think about Harry and Padma. She wanted to think about how Ron was still the same old Ron and how he hadn't ever grow up. Most importantly she needed to think about the strange thing she felt for George. No one had ever stirred up her emotions like he had today. Hermione just didn't know what to think about that.
