Prologue
"Hermione! Guess what?" yelled Ron as he ran down the stairs from the boys' dormitories excitedly, clutching a crumpled piece of parchment in one hand.
Hermione Granger looked up from the book she was submerged in and gave Ron a quizzical smile as he sat down next to her. "What?"
"Dad's got a promotion! I have no idea why but he got a promotion! He's now Head of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts office!"
"Ron, that's wonderful! Does Harry know yet?"
"Nah...I think he's still at breakfast," Ron grinned as he moved forward and snatched the book out of Hermione's hands.
"Give that back!"
"No," said Ron as he jumped up and ran, trying to escape Hermione's fingers as she tried to get her book back.
"Ron Weasley!" shouted Hermione in an exasperated tone as Ron raised his arm so it was straight above her head. Being a lot taller than she was, he could have easily held it at that height for hours and no matter how much she jumped she would've never been able to reach it.
"That's not fair," complained Hermione as she jumped several times to no avail.
"You look so sweet when you do that."
Hermione stopped. "What?" she asked, her cheeks growing pink, not just from the heat from running around the common room.
Ron's face broke into a broad smile once again as he picked Hermione up by the waist and swung her around several times. "Dad's got a promotion! We might finally be able to get some money now. Fred and George are also making lots of money so hopefully we might be not poor in the future.""
Hermione could only smile as she savoured the moment.
"And," Ron paused as he put her back down onto the floor, looking into her dark eyes. "I'm not going to be one of those sobs like Draco Malfoy who thinks that just because they have money they're above everyone else."
"I know you won't," replied Hermione.
Little did she know that everything was going to go horribly wrong.
A.N. This scene took place in 6th year, and the actual story takes place in 7th year. There should be quite a lot of angst in the story, romance and some humour. Hopefully you liked it, and if you didn't then I'll take the story down.
