A/N.: Thank you for the replies sweetlings! I am sorry it took my so long to update, but I promise next update will be really soon. I have the chappie ready for posting. I hope you will like this one. And for those who aren't into the chats, don't give up hope, when they get to school, there shall be other means of communication that don't involve that.

And sorry about the Galleon thing, lets just say it's a fair amount of money, instead of that number.

HUGGLES

Chapter 8 –Messages

They were sitting in the living room, looking somewhat bored, but yet deep into their conversation. Ginny sat hugging a cushion, a leg tucked under the other while she looked down at her brother who was sitting on the floor, leaning against the sofa she was on. Harry and Hermione were sitting side by side in the other couch placed sidewise to the first. Molly was sitting in her swing chair knitting and listening as Ron spoke to her.

"Mum, we are really busy tomorrow."

"Yes, Hermione already told me. So you two will baby sit. Never saw that coming, anyway the Jones' baby is adorable, I'm almost sure he will be a wizard some day. So, Ginny you can sleep over Hermione's? I guess it will be more fun than here without the boys, but I still think Ron hasn't been much of a host." She sent a reprimanding to her son.

"Oh Mrs. Weasley don't worry, he is excited about the whole new world he's discovering, just like Harry and I were when we found out about magic."

"Oh al right. I suppose you are right indeed, but still I am glad Ginny is fulfilling the social skills Ron is lacking at the moment. When he takes an interest, it becomes his sole focus."

Hermione chuckled. "Then he'd be at danger having access to the internet, it is very captivating." Ron's eyes widened momentarily and Harry taking advantage that in his position Hermione's eyes were turned from him frowned so he would not give a hint so blatantly. Nonetheless, the girl's words rid him of actually having to be a good host and loosing his chances at internet, so once Mrs. Weasley left the room to prepare dinner, he thanked his friend.

"Thanks for that one Hermione."

"You owe me Zebra boy." She smirked, remembering her joke of the previous day and they all laughed.

"Hey Harry let's check out the twins' new tricks." Just an exchange of looks and the two boys smirked.

" Are you coming girls?" Harry asked, but then were halfway up the stairs by that time. The black haired boy had an investiment to be zealous for…but most of all, he wanted to have some fun.

"No no, we have to do something" Ginny uttered to herself as she watched them go up and rolled her eyes. She then turned to her friend, the conspiracy tone immediately taking house in her voice.

"Hermione we have to see if Henry sent you I mean me an e-mail, remember?"

"Oh..it's truth, I don't know why you care so much, I bet he didn't even bother." Hermione said walking up to Ginny's room.

They entered the room and carefully closed the door so no one would see them with the computer. Ginny really liked that small kind of computer if only she had one she could speak to the boy anytime. Their luck was that Arthur was so fascinated by the muggle world he had been working about with electricity and phone cables in the house. Not that he had had any success in it, but Hermione did. And there they went…

"Hermione did you read all those books?" Ginny arched an eyebrow turning to her friend in a mechanical movement to show her thoughts on the matter.

"Sure."

"For how long have you been a member, I mean it will take a lot for you to get the free books it takes two years."

"I've been a member for four years."

"Argh! Soon they'll have to pay you for reading by now."

Hermione laughed, glad the red haired girl did not mock her bookworm habits no matter what her thoughts were on the matter…even though she suspected Ginny had it in her genes.

Book of the month- Jenny, this is Henry- /i

"HERMIONE HE SENT AN E-MAIL!" Ginny started to scream for a reason she didn't know.

"Look, marauder boy." Hermione said to herself. But that word wasn't magical, muggles could use it...still, she was suspicious. What 15 year old boy used the word Marauder?

"Ok, open it." Hermione said this time loud enough for Ginny to hear it.

"ok"

Message: I'm really sorry I couldn't speak to you today. I went out with my friends, but at least I warned you so I don't feel as guilty.

I hope we can talk again tomorrow, same chat room, and I hope your nickname is still as happy as ever because mine will be.

I'm looking forward for our next chat, bye. /i

"Oh that was so sweet." Ginny and Hermione said together.

It had been little while ago since Ginny found out this romantic side of Hermione.

"Answer." The older girl said simply.

"Yes ma´am"

Massage: Hey! I'm glad you sent me a message. I'm looking forward to speaking to you too, but there is no need to feel guilty, I went out with my friends too, my brother has two friends staying here for the rest of the vacation. Very fun actually.

So lets not get attached to nicknames, I'll get in and leave a message saying it's me, if you get in and there is no massage like that, it is because I'm not there yet so you leave the message ok?...I'll take that as a yes:).

Tomorrow I'll have all day after lunch to talk, even night.

Byeeee.

Send. /i

"Those little smileys you taught me are so cute." Ginny giggled

"I know I like them too."

Right then they heard the door opening and hid the computer.
