My Zingara
Chapter 6: Looks Appetizing.
It was a beautiful morning Hermione decided finally waking up. Hermione never truly was a morning person. It took her nearly an hour and a half to fully wake up even at Hogwarts. So to put it lightly Hermione wasn't pleased that Ron got her up at seven in the morning, knocking on her door.
"Good morning Hermione" Ron said with a smile.
"Mmh" was all Ron received.
"It is such a lovely morning isn't it?
"I hate you so much right now Ron.
An hour and several cups of coffee after the morning greeting Hermione was fully in her right mind. During this time Ron had unpacked her kitchen "for punishment" as Hermione called it.
"Thanks Ron." Hermione said jumping off the counter.
"Welcome I guess. I though this was punishment.
"Whatever." Hermione said realizing the forgetfulness and short attention span of waking up had not worn off. "What should we tackle next?

Six hours later Hermione's house was all unpacked except for the large bookcase that still needed to be built in one of the rooms. They had taken a break after hearing the dinner bell, also know as Ron's stomach. Hermione, it being her house, took it upon herself to cook dinner while Ron set the table. When Hermione was done she took two paper plates (the real ones not yet washed), scooped the food onto it, and brought the plates to the table placing one in front of Ron. With one glance Ron's face screwed up.
"What?" Hermione asked putting down her plastic fork.
"I think I need another plate." Ron said looking at Hermione still with the disgust plastered on his face.
"Why?
"I believe somebody threw up on mine.
"Ron, that's dinner. Eat it.
Ron attentively picked up his fork jabbed it into the food on his plate and stuck it in his mouth.
Mmh! Augh! Gag! Hoopa! BlahÉÉÉÉ.
"You're funny. Now get up and eat it or go out and get something when you go home. If you're going to do this whenever I cook you might as well bring or make your own food." Hermione said.
"Good idea. I might as well go home now and pack some of my things. See you tomorrow Hermione.
"See you.

Ron had been gone an hour when the doorbell rang again.
"What do you need Ron" Hermione said not looking while answering the door. Looking up it wasn't Ron but a man with a huge bouquet of silk flowers.
"Sorry. Thank you." Hermione signed for the flowers, took them out of the man's hand, and shut the door. Looking at the card it was from Ron with the inscription of I'll be with you my darling Ôtill the stars fall from the sky. And like that Hermione's day had been made.

Hermione went to go pick up Ron and his things the next day. Driving into Harry and Ginny's driveway she saw Ron sitting on the front porch waiting.
"Get in dipshit." Hermione called out her window. Ron jumped up and grabbed his stuff.
Climbing into the front seat Ron said, "Thanks for saving me. It's hell in there. Harry's overly protective more than ever and Ginny is moodier than ever. If I ever have kids I'll tell my wife to buzz off and call me when the baby is coming.
"You're an ass Ron. A true ass." Hermione said speeding off.
Ron moved into the guest room and finished putting up the rest of the bookcase that day. It took them three hours to put all Hermione's books away considering the amount and the fact that they "needed to be alphabetized" according to Hermione. Ron, using his brain for once, went out to buy what he needed to make dinner. Ron insisted it be a surprise for dinner but it was extremely hard from all the wonderful smells coming from the kitchen. When it was finished Hermione was blind folded and taken to the table.
"It smells delicious Ron, what is it?" Hermione asked taking the blindfold off.
"You're favorite." Ron said with a smile going over to sit at his chair.
"You cooked me spaghetti and meatballs. Oh Ron! You're the best.
"Yea." Ron said blushing. Hermione took a bite and moaned.
"This is great Ron. I never knew you where such a great cook.
"Well it seems the tables have turned. I have done more studying than Hermione has.
Hermione didn't understand the comment at first but it would be a couple of days before she started to get the jist.
