The next morning went dreadfully slow to Ronald Weasley. He waited two weeks to see Hermione and now only one day seemed an eternity. He awoke very early compared to how late he usually sleeps in. The second he got up he dressed into muggle clothing that a Diagon Alley shop had on sal due to, "The extreme ugliness", as the store clerk said. Ron actually had thought the clothes were slightly fashionable. He had a red t-shirt that read, "Spice Girls", (Ron had no clue what they were, but he liked the sound of it), and blue jeans.
With-in three hours he and his dad went into the new Ministry car. "Awesome Dad!" Ron was now looking at a Volkswagon Beetle. "Yes, it is, isn't it?' Mr. Weasley replied, a smile playing across his lips. "But I am rather wary having another Ministry car around you. No more driving. Is that clear?" the soon stern looking father was saying. "Dad..." Ron moaned. "I said it wouldn't happen again." Ron took a breath then said,"I hope." Mr Weasley turned around looking as if he were about to yell, but then his son said, "I was kidding, geez."
The youngest Weasley boy was amazed at the sights he could take in. He could see great forests and more muggle cars which only looked like dots from how high up they were. And before he knew it, Mr.Weasly said, "Buckle up.", and they went shooting forward to Hermione's home.
Ron approached the house slowly, awed by the sight before him. Hermione's house was...no less than beautiful. It was huge. It was white, had red shutters, a blue door, and the front yard had flowers of every color imaginable planted. He walked up the brick steps and thought, "Hermione is rich. There is another reason I could never have a chance with her." Just as Ron went to knock on the door it flew open.
"Ron!" Hermione said breathlessly smiling as big a smile as Ron has ever witnessed. Before the teenage boy had any chance to greet her, she leaped on him hugging him so tightly he..." 'Mione...I can't breath." Hermione slowly let go of him while Ron was now closely resembling a tomato. He studied her for a moment. She had the same bushy brown hair, except it was pulled back letting her best features show. She was wearing an orange tank top and blue jeans. Ron suddenly realized how different Hermione looks at Hogwarts. "Hi Hermione. How have you been?" She laughed lightly at this remark and said she was fine. A figure then appearred behind Hermione.
"Hello. You must be Ron. I am Hermione's father, Mr.Granger." Ron was surprised at how abrupt this man spoke. Just by looking at him you could tell he had money. He had graying hair, glasses down to the bridge of his nose, 'Woah,' thought Ron,'nice watch.' This boy had no clue what to say to this man. "I, I, I...I'm Ron..." he trailed off stuttering like mad. "I know," Mr.Granger said."I just said that." he know had a small amused smile playing on his lips. "Oh, I'm sorry." "Why?" Hermione's father said. Then, "Dad," Hermione said while laughing a little."Don't scare him away." Mr.Granger then kissed his daughter on her head, said"I love you. Take care and be careful.Ron take care of her for me, won't you?" Ron nodded in response. Hermione was getting thoroughly amused by this situation but then at seeing her best friend's shirt broke in to histerical laughter. "Nice shirt, Ron."she said in-between laughs. "Uh, oh..this old thing.." Now, if possible Ron was turning redder. Hermione saw she was embarrassing him and quickly said,"I didn't mean it that way, Ron. It's just, you look, well, stupid." She said breaking into hysterical fits of laughter. She then jumped, startled at Mr.Weasley beeping the car horn. "We should go now." Ron finally said. "Bye Mr.Granger. Nice meeting you." "Same here, Ron." Ron didn't like the look Mr.Granger gave his daughter after their good-byes. It was similar to the one Mrs.Weasley gave Ron earlier...
AN-I promise the story will get more interesting, but I need something to start off on. I will try to make the chapters longer. Please R&R! Lots of thanks to those who did!
