A/N: Hey everyone! Okay so I know I made you wait long but that will be discussed at the end of this chapter… PLEASE pay attention to the comments at the end (in the author's note)!
Also this should be a lot longer:)
CHAPTER 3- A Row and A Deal
Hermione woke the next day to a gentle rap on her door. She walked to the door and opened it to see Ron's smiling face.
"You know, I think you forgot something, Ron." She said staring at his exposed chest and noticing his muscular arms and abs. Her gaze then stopped at his dark blue boxers and she noticed the decorative broomsticks flying around on them.
"Oops!" said Ron as he noticed his revealing attire, "Uhhhhh… I just wanted to see if you wanted to come with Dad and me to get Harry. We have to drive there and Dad thought you may be needed to… er… help."
"Sure I'll go, but I think we should both get dressed first." At this statement she realized how glad she was that she was at least wearing her tiny spaghetti strap shirt with large P.J. pants.
"Shit!" Hermione was about to yell at Ron for this outburst but soon heard the reason for this. Mrs. Weasley's footsteps could be heard getting closer to her room.
"Damnit Ron get in here before she sees what you're wearing! Or rather what you're not wearing!" She pulled Ron into her room and closed the door just in time.
"That was close! Thanks Mione!"
"Sure thing, but this is a bit close too, don't you think?" As she said this, Ron realized that their faces were almost touching.
I wish I could just kiss him… his bare skin is so warm and soft and- Okay now would be a good time to move! This is not dream Ron this is Ron-Ron and you need to get dressed too! At this thought she moved away only to feel something brush against her leg.
Hermione put her hand in her pocket and found Harry's letter from two days prior to this, still sealed and unread.
"What's that?" Ron asked as she read the letter quickly.
"A rather rude letter from Harry. I expect there's going to be a row when he arrives. Although after this I am going to scream at him anyway." She handed Ron the letter and he read:
Hermione-To answer your first question I am doing just great seeing as my godfather died a little over a month ago and everyone seems to be ignoring me. I have told Lupin, Dumbledore, even Ron and now you that my aunt and uncle are treating me worse than ever, but apparently no one gives a damn about me!
And as for your second one, my summer has been just great! As you can see from the answers above, I have had no contact with the wizarding world! Oh and Dudley, being the great git that he is, broke his punching bag the day I arrived. So now he has been using me until Uncle Vernon 'gets the chance' to buy him another one.
And as for your third question, yes I am going to Ron's… although he only invited me an hour ago so I have to wait a couple of days.
See you there I guess… oh and tell your lovely Ron that his bloody owl doesn't deliver letters properly! The stupid thing nearly knocked me out!
Harry
As he read the letter, Ron scowled. He looked at Hermione lost for words.
I hope he didn't notice what Harry said about my 'lovely Ron'. I think he is too busy being mad… She thought
Ron opened his mouth to say something but quickly closed it when he heard a knock at Hermione's door. Hermione looked at Ron and gasped as she noticed how bad this would look to an outsider.
"Oh no!" She said in barely a whisper, "Ron you have to hide!" At this Ron seized his chance and ducked under the bed.
Hermione casually walked to the door, her heart pounding so loudly she thought it would give her away. She opened the door and was greeted by Fred and George. She smiled as they beamed down at her.
"It's been a while…" George said with a mischievous grin.
"Too long of a while don't you think?" Fred added his smirk to the mix.
"Guys, what are you up to?" Hermione asked. She didn't like those faces. "Aaarrrgghh! Put me down! I need to get changed!"
"Oh all right then, we'll wait out here while you get dressed," Fred said as he set her back down so her feet touched the floor.
"Yes and we won't leave without you!" George spat and the twins exchanged those famous evil grins.
Hermione scowled at them and closed the door after her.
"Now what are we going to do?" Ron asked in a nervous whisper. He got out from under the bed and dusted off his bare chest.
"You are going to turn around and swear not to even open your eyes or, so help me Ronald, I will hex you beyond reason!" Hermione whispered threateningly, "And I am going to change so your brothers will go downstairs and you can sneak to your room."
She narrowed her eyes and Ron decided it was a good time to turn around. As soon as he did so Hermione dashed around getting herself dressed and ready.
He'd better not peak! She thought angrily, and I do hope Fred doesn't pick me up again… its so degrading… not to mention too high up!
She finished dressing and went over to Ron. Her hand was on his shoulder and his face was growing like a ripe tomato. "Thanks for turning around and not peaking…" Hermione said looking away and feeling embarrassed, "I'll meet you downstairs."
"Okay," Ron mumbled looking up at the ceiling, "If you don't want to go to Harry's now I'll understand…"
"No, I want to go!" She told him keeping her voice down, "Go get dressed and hurry up!"
Hermione walked to the door and Ron heard her yelp as Fred lifted her off her feet and fumbled down the stairs.
"STOP!" Hermione screamed as Mr. Weasley ran his third red light in a row. "Mr. Weasley, red means stop, green means go!"
"Oh, okay Hermione, I think we are here though…" Mr. Weasley replied as the borrowed car stopped in front of Number Four's perfectly kept yard.
Ron mustered up the courage and went to the door to get Harry.
They returned to the car and Ron sat in the back with Hermione while Harry scowled at them both and took the front seat.
The ride home was a silent one and no one noticed Ron and Hermione's interlocked hands and blushing faces. (A/N- sorry to put this here but HOW CUTE! My fave part! ;) )
Later, in Ron's room, all hell broke loose.
Hermione, Ron, and Harry stood bellowing in each other's faces. Harry being angry and Ron and Hermione defensive.
"I'M SORRY THE WORLD DIDN'T STOP FOR YOU THIS ONCE!" Ron screamed after Harry had begun to round on Hermione, "I MEAN HOW DARE WE LIVE OUR LIVES AND EXPECT THE MAGNIFICENT HARRY POTTER TO DEAL WITH HIS OWN PROBLEMS ON HIS OWN LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!"
"RON YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING MAD AT ME!" Harry angrily retorted, "I SHOULD BE MAD AT YOU FOR FORGETTING ABOUT ME WHEN INVITING YOU FRIENDS FOR THE SUMMER!"
"HEY!" Hermione yelled, "DON'T BE MAD AT US JUST BECAUSE OF ALL THAT'S HAPPENED! YES, SIRIUS IS GONE AND THAT IS HORRIBLE FOR ALL OF US! BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE ALL YOUR ANGER AND STRESS OUT ON US! Oh, Harry, don't you see? We're your friends and we do care about you! There just isn't-"
"SAVE IT HERMIONE!" Harry screamed and kicked his trunk, "I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR EXCUSES ARE!"
"THEN MAYBE WE SHOULD MAKE A DEAL!" Ron bellowed to stop the progressing argument, "Harry why don't you take Percy's old room and let Mione sleep up here? That way you can be all pissed and we can leave you alone!"
"Yeah, that and the fact that you wanna sleep with Hermione…" Harry mumbled and, though Ron couldn't hear him, Hermione blushed and quickly walked to the door.
"Well, if that's settled," She stated uncomfortably, "I'd better get my things…" She started down the stairs and Ron hurried behind her, somewhat scared to e alone with Harry at that moment…
