Chappie 4.
Mug of Butterbeer.

I'm SO sorry it took so long to get this chappie up! I've been so busy with moving, getting a job and my sisters wedding coming up. Cheers to all my reviewers.. b You all are legends. /b To all those reviewers who wondered why Ginny slept in Hermione's room; No they aren't gay and you will find out what's going on with that in later chapters. Promise. And to those who wonder why Ron calls Hermione ''Peanut'' you will also find out in later chapters. D

Hermione woke up with Ginny by her side, just as they fell asleep last night. She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes then nudged Ginny.

'Gin. Get up, Hogsmeade time!' she said excitedly. Ginny pulled the pillow over her head and grumbled.
'Hmmfnkiggin' she muttered into the mattress sheet. Hermione laughed at her, and then got out of bed, grabbing her towel and heading for the bathroom.
Once freshly showered, she walked out of the bathroom with her towel wrapped around her torso and her wet hair hanging down around her shoulders. She walked over to her trunk and pulled out a pair blue faded of jeans and a brown turtle neck woollen jumper and pulled them on. She chose brown so here eyes will stand out in the white winter outside.

'Ginny... C'mon. We have to get moving, we have to meet in half n hour!' she called out, pulling her hair back into a quick messy ponytail. Ginny walked over dressed in black pants and an ocean blue woollen jumper.
'Ok, I'm ready. Let's go down and wait for them....' Ginny said, dragging Hermione by the arm, out the door and down to the Common Room.
When they got there, they saw Harry and Ron sitting at the table, playing Exploding Snap to pass time.

''Ha ha, yet again.. I win.'' Harry said, smirking and throwing his arm up in the air triumphantly. Ron threw his remaining cards at Harry, causing them to snap at his head.

'Holy shit... 'Harry yelled in surprise, leaping up from his chair shaking off all the cards. Harry took some deep breaths and, then he straightened himself up as if nothing happened. By this time everyone was laughing at him. Harry just glared at them all.

''Shut ya gobs would ya,'' he said, smiling himself, then wrapping an arm around Ginny and walking towards the Portrait Door.

''I'll see you guys later. Have fun.'' He walked out of the door waving back to them. Ginny was waving frantically back to Hermione.

''Talk to you later 'Mione...'' she squealed back to her.

Ron shook his head at the two practically running out of the Common Room. He looked up the figure still standing there. He stood up and held out his arm,

''Ready to go Ma'am?'' he asked, bowing down slightly and offering Hermione his left arm. Hermione grinned at him and took his arm.

''As always.''

They both made their way down to the carriages that would take them to the village. Ron opened the door of the carriage to their carriage for Hermione. She smiled and got in the carriage, Ron coming in shortly and sitting next to her. There was small talk through out the ride.
''So where do you wanna go first when we get there?'' Hermione asked.
''Wherever your heart desires, my little Peanut.'' Ron replied with a smile.

''How bout...'' she thought about the places in Hogsmeade, ''Erm, how bout we just walk around the villi age for a little bit then go warm ourselves up with a mug of Butterbeer?''
''Sounds good. You cold?''
''A bit, why?''
''Come here....'' He ushered her over to him. When she did, he wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her close to him. Her neck was resting in the crook of his neck and his head on her chin. Her hand was resting on the top of his leg.

After few hours of walking round in Hogsmeade, the day was well into the evening, the sun was just starting to go down. Ron had taken Hermione round everywhere she wanted to go. Even the book shop. He went to the sport section whilst Hermione shopped round for books that she needed or saw and wanted just because they were there. He took her to get new wool for her knitting needles, took her for lunch.. He did everything for her. They both walked round the whole of Hogsmeade together, no matter what they were touching. Either Ron's arm was around Hermione's shoulders or Hermione's arm linked with Ron's arm. Just after lunch they had come into contact with Harry and Ginny, who both looked like they were having the time of their lives together.
''Ron! Hermione!' Ginny squealed. Ron and Hermione looked up and round until their eyes came into focus on Ginny.
''Oh, hey Gin….'' Ron said his arm round Hermione's shoulders and rubbing her arm.
''What have you been up to? Harry and I have been everywhere. We've stocked up on sweets from Honeydukes. And we've been to see Fred and George; they gave us stacks of things for free. Mates Rates, as they put it.''
''Wow, sounds like you two are having fun. Don't let us get in the way,'' Hermione said, starting to walk off, ''See you back at school.''
Ginny looked at Harry who just shrugged.
''Don't ask Gin. I know, something's going on eh?'' Ginny nodded then grabbed Harry's arm and pulled him off towards the next shop.
Ron and Hermione were now in the Three Broomsticks having their final Butterbeer before having to head off to the carriages. They sat at a small table in the corner, Ron had ordered the Butterbeer's, placed them down on the table then sat across from Hermione.
''So, have you enjoyed yourself today?'' Ron asked, sipping the froth in his mug.
''Surprisingly... Yes, I have.'' Hermione replied, taking her scarf and beanie off.
''Good, just what I wanted to hear.''
''Ron, you know Christmas is 2 weeks away?''
''Yeh?''
''Well, what did you get me?''
''Not telling.''
''Please?''
''Nope... My lips are sealed.''
''Your such a bitch.''
''You love me for it.''
''Don't get ya hopes up.'' Hermione teased.
Ron slammed down his mug on the table and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.
''Didn't plan on it. C'mon, ready to go?'' he asked, holding out his hand to Hermione. He watched as Hermione finished off her Butterbeer, licked her top lip then accepted his hand. When she stood up, Ron noticed that her jumper had crawled up a bit, revealing a bit of her stomach. Ron raised an eyebrow and looked at her.

''Bit cold outside to be revealing yourself to the world isn't it, Peanut?''
''What are you talking about?''
''Let me say it this way.. I now know you have an innie belly button.''
Hermione looked down and saw her jumper was up. She rolled her eyes her pulled it down.
''Got a good look at me did you?'' she asked, dragging him towards the door.
''Not really, Id like to see more though'' Ron said smirking and wiggling his eyebrows.
''In time Ron. In time'' she replied with a quick wink.

By the time all the carriages were back at Hogwarts and all students were back in their Common Rooms, it was 9pm. Ron and Hermione were once again sitting on the lounge near the fire. Harry and Ginny where sitting close by as well. Ron looked at Hermione, grabbed her hand and squeezed it lightly.
''You know, I never told you today-''
''What?'' Hermione asked, chest rising and hear starting to beat fast
''That you looked gorgeous.'' He said sweetly. Ginny looked up from her conversation with Harry and smirked.
''You think she looks gorgeous now, Ron, you should have seen her this morning when she got out of the shower.'' Ron's eyes shot to Ginny, begging her to continue. Ginny looked at Harry and smiled and winked then looked back at Ron. Hermione looked back and forth between Ron and Ginny, wondering why she was bringing this up, and why Ron looked so eager to hear about it.
''She came out with just a towel wrapped around her dripping tiny wet body. Her hair was saturated and hanging down over her face, down her bare shoulders and into the cleavage made by her towel.'' Ginny had to stop there, she couldn't hold back the laughter, the look on Ron's face at the moment was priceless. She dug her head into Harry's chest and howled with laughter. Ron's mouth was opened; his eyes were as wide as the bottom of a Butterbeer mug. His tongue was hanging out of mouth slightly, licking his lips every now and then. His hand was still holding onto Hermione's, squeezing it a bit harder then needed. Hermione winced and pulled her and away. She rolled her eyes at Ron; she waved her hand in front of his face to get his attention. Ron shook his head, then glared at Ginny, then looked at Hermione who was looking at him as if he was stupid.
''Wha? Oh, sorry Hermione. I was in a daze'' he said, ears turning red very slightly.
''No shit, Sherlock'' Hermione answered back with a laugh. ''You like what you heard did you?'' she added in a whisper, her hot breath against his ear. Ron closed his eyes as she whispered. When she finished and pulled away, Ron turned around and looked at her.
''I cannot say that I didn't enjoy that description, to be honest'' he replied with a slight smile starting to spread across his face.
Hermione lifted a hand and brushed a lock out of Ron's eyes and behind his ears.
''How would you like to turn that vision into reality?'' she asked wickedly. Ron's small smile turned into a full blown grin. Going from one side of his face to the other and his eyes glistening.
''Really? 'Mione, I would love to turn it into reality'' he said excitedly, he couldn't sit still now.
Hermione sighed, ''No, not really'', getting up from the lounge, bending down giving him a very quick kiss on the lips and walking quickly to the stairs.
''Good night everyone!'' she called back, before running up the stairs, laughing.
