Chapter 3 Hermione comes

Ron woke up early this morning. He tried to turn over and fall asleep again, but he couldn't manage to do it. He found out that it was the best just to get up and try to come up with something to do. He went down and stood a long time in the shower, it was so good to feel the water coming down on him while he made his thoughts og what he was up to do today. He went out of the shower and looked into the mirror, he ran his hand throug his hair, time after time, but couldn't manage to make it lie down as he wanted to. He wanted everything to be perfect today.
He went up to his room and and tried to tide a bit. Just when he finished he heard a knock on his door. His heart skipped a beat, had Hermione came without him noticing?? But no, luckily it was just Ginny that knocked. 'It's time to get up, food's on the table'. Ron went to the door, opened it and smiled when he saw that she made a little jump. 'Whooa!' she said 'You scared me to death! Have you got up already? Is it something spesial today, since you're so early up?' 'No, it's nothing' he said, knowing perfectly well that it was the answer he hated to get himself.
He checked that it was no car standing outside, or if it where some other thing that may say that Hermione could come soon, before he sat down at the table. But no, she hadn't come yet. Down at the chair, he sat, forgot to eat, just sat there, thinking. 'Knut for your thoughts' Ginny woke him up. 'You hadn't got them for 5 galleons!' He said smiling. 'Are you waiting for the food to jump into your mouth?' she said. He looked down on his plate, he had only taken a small bite at the one end of his sandwich. He forced down the rest of it before he went to the window to make a little look out. Still there were noone there.
He had difficulties trying to find something to do, he had to do something that he could easily cancel when Hermione came. He went down on the bathroom and ran his hand through his hair once more. He looked at his mirror-image. I've got no chance in the world, he thought, look at me, and she, who is so extremely pretty. Then he went up to his room again. He found a photo from last year. He, Harry and Hermione stood there, he looked on the happy faces. He came in a good mood, just looking at it. He moved his eyes over to Hermione and memorised every little detail. It's no doubt what I've seen in the mirror of Erised if I'd made a look now, he thought.
An hour later, he went down. He sat down on the sofa and started to read a bit in "Hogwarts, a history" that Hermione gave him at his last Birhtday. He opened it on the index-pages. He made a look at the chapters, and found one that looked interresting (how the quidditch house-cup got started). After just a couple of minutes before he was hooked into the stories.
After a couple of hours he had read through both "Measures for secracy and safety" and "How Hogwarts where separated into the four houses". Ginny called and said that it was time for food again. She and mom sat at the table. He made a little look through the window, but once more he had to sit down at the table, noone had come this time either. 'You are waiting for Hermione to come?' mom said. 'Yes, as a matter of fact, I do' he said. He felt a sting in his stomach, was it so easy to see it on him? I'll have to disguise it better before she comes, he thought. The rest of the conversation went over the next year at Hogwarts.
Just after they had cleared the table, he heard a faint knock on the door. Then it came another, a little less faint one. It's her, he thought an made a run towards the door. Ginny had already opened the door when he reached it. And there Hermione stood, together with two suitcases and her mom. 'Hi!' she said. Ron had forgotten the way her voice in a way sung at him. 'Hi!' he said. 'Do you need some help whith those?' was the best thing he managed to say. Not so romantic, but at least it was nice. 'Thanks' she said. He took one of the suitcases and carried it up the stairs towards his room. Hermione followed him. They whent into the room and tucked them in.
After getting rid of her suitcase, she gave Ron a big hug. 'Good to see you again Ron' she said. When she let go of him, he was so shaky that it was a miracle the he stood. The memory of this hug, was one that he was never going to forget. It was so good to feel her smell again. 'We'd better go down and say bye to mom, she said. and went down to the entrance again. They stood there a long time, and there was many almost-endings to the conversation. It didn't bother Ron, he stole as many looks at Hermione as he dared.
Hermione gave her mother a big hug, and promised her to behave. When her mom had gone, they went in to the sittingroom. They sat down in the sofa and talked of how the beginning of the vacation had been. Once more he tried to get as many looks of her as possible- He thought that he had managed to disguise it quite good, but when he met Ginny after a little errand on the bathroom, she said 'You just can't get your eyes of her, can't you..'
The time leapt forward in big clusters, and it was time for an evening meal. They sat down, Ron sat as close to Hermione that he could. She's so cute when she eats, he thought. It's something about how she put the food into her mouth, how she looked so concentrated a little while, and then how it loosend up again. The butterflies was once again there in his stomach.
The went up after finishing their evening doings, Ron laid down on his bed, and Hermione laid down on the guestbed that mom had magically brought up. They said good night. Hermione fell asleep almost at once. The last thoughts of Ron before he fell asleep was: 'She's so beautiful, there she lies a half meter from me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- Jepp det var den neste da..
