Disclaimer: I do not own the characters or any of the plot from the Harry Potter books, just my plot that I created. Enjoy!
**Thank you to the couple people that have reviewed my story so far. I'll try to keep it going, but it takes me a while to get started on a chapter. Sorry Trym…I guess I'm kind of giving it away now, but I just write this stuff as it comes to me and post it almost right after I write it.
She was flying around on the back of a broomstick with some hooded stranger. For some reason, though, she cared deeply, and possibly loved this stranger, and gripped him tightly around his waist, scared that she would somehow lose him. Finally, the boy turned to face her as they landed in a bald patch of ground in the middle of the Forbidden Forest. He pulled back his hood and Hermione was instantly taken aback by the deep longing and an even stronger love shown in his eyes when he looked at her.
"I love you Hermione." His red hair shimmered in the sunlight shining through the trees as he leaned in to kiss her.
"I love you too." And they pulled together in a passionate kiss leaving both breathless, until Hermione finally said, "Ron." finishing the sentence she had meant to before their breathtaking kiss.
"HERMIONE!"
Hermione was instantly awakened by the sudden shout of her mother from the bottom of the stairs.
"What mom?!?! I was trying to sleep!"
"You have to get going in a couple hours. It's 10:30 now, and you're expected there at one. Get a move on missy."
Hermione was frustrated. She was enjoying that dream, but she didn't know why. She obviously didn't like Ron. Didn't she?
Well, she couldn't think about that right at that second because she had fallen asleep before she could get any serious packing done the night before, so she still needed to do that.
To make her packing go more quickly, she threw practically every piece of clothing she owned into a couple of trunks. She also threw in a few books to keep busy, of course, and all the rest of her necessities, including her supplies list and a laptop.
She showered quickly and munched on some snacks instead of having lunch. She then decided she would e-mail Char to tell her what she was doing, but writing it without revealing that she was a witch. Char thought that Hermione was going to some fancy private school, and Hermione wanted to keep it that way.
Hey Char!!! How's it going over there? I hope you're having fun with your family; I've never been to the states before. And I take it your going to be going to school there, right? Maybe you'll meet a cute boy. Well, anyways, I'm heading off to stay at my friend, Ron's, house for the summer, just so you know my whereabouts, and don't try to call me, they don't own a phone, so no luck there. See you soon!
Hermione
Hermione clicked the send button, and sat staring at the screen in a daze. What had that dream meant? Did she have hidden feelings for Ron? She was confused, and that's not something that happened to Hermione very often. No matter what she did, she just couldn't get that dream out of her head.
She sat like that for a while until she felt someone tap her shoulder.
"Hermione, darling, you're supposed to leave in fifteen minutes, and your mother and I just want to get our goodbyes in. Your mother's waiting downstairs in the living room."
"OK, Dad, I'm coming"
And with that she went off down the stairs with her father, and as they turned the corner into the living room, there was something in her mother's arms that caught her eye.
"The latest Firebolt!?!?! How'd you know I wanted a broomstick? How'd you even know about Quidditch, and how'd you get it? I'm confused. But oh my God. Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is awesome! I'll have Harry, Ron, and Ginny teach me to fly. Thank you guys!"
Hermione got both of her parents in huge bear hugs, which surprised them both. And as they were doing all the last goodbyes like this, they almost didn't notice that it was already one.
"Oh, Hermione, you have to go. We'll both miss you very much." said Hermione's mother.
"We love you Hermione."
"I love you guys too." And with that Hermione gave each a hug and a kiss, got out her Floo Powder and threw it into the fireplace, stepped in and yelled….
"THE BURROW!"
