Hey! Sorry I've been out of town. Thank you all so much for
reviewing! I actually, well according to the stats section, the review
count on the story itself is always doing weird things, have over one
hundred reviews! Wow! Thank you all so much! One hundred reviews? That's
crazy! And sorry this took so long to put up. I've been busy and my
Internet has been down and yada yada. Here's the next chapter!
Hermione awoke fairly early on Sunday. She yawned, unwilling to open her eyes. It was Sunday, the day she would leave. Lazily she sat up to start packing; she didn't want to have to worry about it later. It would only take a minute seeing as she had only been there since Friday. As she folded one of her shirts, she realized that Ginny wasn't there. "That's odd," Hermione commented, "She usually doesn't wake up early. Or at least she never used to."
Hermione continued reluctantly packing and fifteen minutes later she was walking down the stairs. When she reached the bottom of the stairs she found that no one was down stairs. Not a soul was in the kitchen, the living room, or even outside, or at least that she could see. So, she took a seat.
As she did so, she could hear someone else making their way down the stairs. Within in seconds Harry was walking into the room. "Good morning." She said.
"Good morning," Harry replied yawning.
"Did you by chance see Ginny on your way down? I can't find her."
Harry stopped walking and looked at something. "She and Ron went to Diagon Alley."
"Oh, right. The clock." Said Hermione. "I forgot about that."
Harry took a seat. "You've been gone way too long, Hermione." He said with a laugh. "So you're leaving tonight?" he asked.
"Yes."
"For sure? You're positive you want to leave?"
"It's not that I want to leave; I have to. I've got work tomorrow, unfortunately. Besides, I've already booked my plane ticket."
"Oh that's right. You're flying back." Said Harry. "Any reason you chose the muggle way?"
"I don't know, I guess I just haven't been on one for so long I figure, why not? I have the chance to, so."
"Well this time we definitely have to keep in touch. No more of this not seeing each other for five years stuff, ok?"
"Ok." Said Hermione with a laugh. "So sorry if this is annoying, but how long have you and Ginny been dating now?"
"Oh," he said. "Ever since she graduated from Hogwarts, so about four years."
"Wow!" said Hermione. "Do you, and sorry if this seems forward, but do you think you'll marry her?"
Harry lit up at the thought of it. "I hope so. I love her so much, and I'd love to be able to spend every moment with her."
"Then why don't you ask her?"
Harry's expression seemed to fade. "I couldn't do that."
Hermione was a bit surprised. "Why not?"
"I just—I don't know. What if she says no? What if that destroys us? Ginny's such a wonderful, sweet, beautiful, perfect girl! Why would she ever choose me?"
"Harry, you two have been dating for four years; I think she has chosen you." Harry thought this over. "Besides, I definitely think she'd say yes."
Harry lit up again. "You think so?"
"Trust me." Said Hermione smiling. Hopefully with her weekend here she could at least help Harry and Ginny out.
Harry had his own questions to ask. "So is this it for you and Ron then? Or...?"
Hermione paused to think it over. She could hear the clock moving. "I... I guess. I haven't really talked to him about it so..."
Hermione had barely finished her sentence when she heard Ron speak. "We're back!" he said rounding the corner.
"Hey!" said Harry.
"Hi!" Hermione wondered what they had bought at Diagon Alley. She didn't even know it was open this early.
"Mom needed us to pick up some floo powder and a few other things." Said Ginny setting down a bag on the table.
Ron held his arms out as he approached Hermione, the most adorable lop-sided grin on his face. (Probably the most adorable grin any Weasley had ever managed to pull off.) His eyes had the most intense feeling of love radiating from them. Hermione stood up and wrapped her arms around him. "Want to go for a walk?" he asked.
So there it is! I can't promise I'll update super soon, but I'm hoping to! Well I really hope you liked it! Thanks for reading!
