Chapter 2

Percy was the first to wake that morning. He was visiting his parents after been ordered by his boss to take two weeks holiday. As he walked out of his room he noticed the guest bedroom door was open. He slipped across the hallway as went to shut it. Just as he grabbed the handle he heard a slight sigh come from the room. He found this alarming as he hadn't been told of Harry and Hermione's arrival. His head peered round the door to find out where the noise had come from. What lay before him was a sight the pair wouldn't have wanted anyone to see. Hermione was wearing a short silk night slip while Harry had a pair of Ben Sherman's boxers on. Harry was laying on his back with Hermione sprawled all over him. Trying not to wake then Percy quickly closed the door and ran downstairs. He made himself a cup of tea and sat down to read the Daily Prophet which had just arrived.

After about 10 minutes there seemed to be a lot of movement upstairs. Mrs. Weasley was the first of them to come downstairs.

"Morning dear. Did you sleep well?"

"Yes mother, although this morning I stumbled upon something I think you may want to know about."

"If you mean Harry and Hermione I already know. Isn't it wonderful, I've known it was going to happen for years.

"But mother, they weren't even in suitable night wear!"

"Oh Percy. Remember how you and Penelope were when she first stayed over. There only having a bit of fun. I trust them both enough to let them share a room. Don't tell Ron what you saw though. I think he's feeling a little left out."

"You don't think? No he wouldn't."

"What?"

"I was wondering. You don't think Ron could fancy Hermione do you?"

"Of course not. What ever make you think that?"

"I don't know but it just over the last few days I've noticed Ron's been a bit perkier."

"nonsense. Everyone knows its Harry who fancies Hermione."

"Everyone but Harry and Hermione."

"Well Percy this week we'll have to work a little Weasley magic and make sure there in the know as well."

"And how do you suppose we do that. Huh!"

"Watch and learn Percy! Watch and learn."

Mrs. Weasley laughed as she walked out of the kitchen door and into the garden to join Mr. Weasley on the garden bench.

"Hermione! Harry! Ron! Wake up! It's 8:30!" Mr. Weasley was now calling the trio for the third time that morning.

"I'm not going to call you again. Your breakfast is ready and if you don't come down in the next 5 minutes it'll be in the bin."

"Morning Dad"

"Morning Percy. I'm sick to death of calling those three now. That's 3 times in the past half an hour and not a sound or sign of movement to say they've even heard me calling!"

"That's probably because mum took them all out for the day at about 7 o'clock this morning. She left you a letter on the kitchen table." He looked around the table then picked up the cat. "Here it is.

Arthur

Taken Ron, Harry and Hermione out for the day. I think it'll do them all some good and make them realize that thins aren't the same as they were last time they all got together outside of school. Percy will explain if there is anything else that you don't understand.

We will be back for about 8 o'clock this evening.

Love Molly

I'm off for a spot of flying if you fancy joining my Dad."

"Thank you Percy I think I will join you, and on the way you can explain what this letter means."

Mr. Weasley and Percy arrived at the top of the garden. Ginny was sat on the garden bench playing with Crookshanks.

"Ginny dear, were of fling for a few hours. You can come with us or you can stay here. It's up to you. Your mothers out with Ron, Harry and Hermione though, so if you stay at home you'll be alone."

"I'll be okay at home dad. Don't worry I've got Crookshanks and I can always owl you or mum if there anything wrong. Have a good day, oh and dad don't work Percy too hard"

Mr. Weasley and Ginny started to laugh at that last comment.

"It may have been a few years since I last got on a broom but I bet I could fly circles around both of you anytime."

"Well I personally want to test that theory. We'll be back in a few hours Ginny, enjoy yourself."

"Bye guys. Have fun."

With that Percy and Mr.Weasley hopped onto there broomsticks and flew off into the surrounding woods.
