Sorry! It's been too long. I was dying without my Internet in the middle of nowhere. You guys are in luck I wrote some chapters while I was there.

Chapter 4: Matt Lasturd and No Trip
The two walked pleasantly down to the landlord's office. They walked through the lovely graying French doors and were told to have a seat while waiting. Hermione with anticipation and excitement was bouncing in her seat. Ron smiled looking over at her wondering if he could ever have a shot. Soon out came a short chubby man in tight neon purple bellbottoms and a flannel shirt. While he walked over to the two, Hermione jumped out of her seat and stuck out her hand. The chubby man smiled and shook her hand. Then he proceeded to shake Ron's hand.
"Hi! I'm Fat Bastard.
"Excuse me?" Ron said still holding the man's hand.
"I said ÔHi I'm Matt Lasturd." The man said with a wry smile on his face letting go of Ron's hand. "Who are you?
"Oh! I'm Ron Weasley this is my friend-
"Hermione!" Matt shouted
"How do you know my name?" Hermione asked inching towards Ron and grabbing his hand.
"We're old neighbors. We used to live right next door until you moved about four of five years ago I believe.
"Oh! It's you Matt! How are you?
"I'm good. Looking for a flat here?
"Yea, I just came to negotiate prices on 366.
"330 a month." Matt said with determination.
"Done" Hermione said. "Here's for the first two months."
And with that Hermione's new address was for now 366 Avenue Street.
"Well that was quite easy." Ron said on the way back to Harry and Ginny's.
"I know. I have a new home. Too bad you have to go in a couple days. You'll just have to see it when you get back."
"Yea." Ron said pulling into the driveway. "You know, driving is fun. You should have taught me years ago.
"Ron the last time I saw you, you were in no condition to drive."
"Right, It's been too long Hermione. Too long.

"WHAT? Ron screamed.
"What's wrong Ron?" Ginny asked from the kitchen. Soon Ron's body appeared in the room red and frustrated.
"They're not letting me or Harry go on the next trip."
"Well," Hermione said putting her wine glass down. "I can see why they wouldn't let Harry go, but why you. You've been gone before when your other nieces and nephews were born. Why now?
"They said I need a break!" Ron said loosing some of the red color sitting down. "What will I do? I certainly can't stay here too long.
"Well, I guess you could stay with me after everything is moved and put away but you have to help me. Alright?
"Alright." Ron said with a huge smile. "It'll be fun.
