"Well there is Quidditch in the paddock or listening to WWN." said Hermione.
"I've a better idea. You feel like a picnic on the paddock?" asked Anthony.
"That would be great." smiled Hermione as he got up from his chair and began to raid he cupboards.
"Let's see...why don't you go and get yourself ready and I'll make the picnic. Be down in an hour." said Anthony.
"Oh k. what should I wear?" asked Hermione.
"Hm...How about a nice skirt that shows that great body of yours? And a clingy top?" asked Anthony.
"Sure. Be down in an hour." smiled Hermione jumping down from the table.
She went up to the room she and Ron were sharing and put on the skirt and top she'd discarded before.
She took her hair down and straightened it.
She looked in the mirror and smiled at herself.
She hated to say it...but she was actually excited about this.
She messed around with make up and accessories until the hour had passed.
She went down stairs and saw he'd put on a flannel shirt, it wasn't buttoned up and there was nothing underneath it.
He had a basket in his hand and looked like he was waiting for her.
"Wow Hermione. Does my cousin know your trying to seduce his cousin?" asked Anthony an eyebrow raised as he wolf whistled.
Hermione smiled coyly.
"I'm not seducing you I'm just trying to make an effort to know you," said Hermione hitting him playfully on the arm.
"What ever you say Hermione. Come on let's go." smiled Anthony linking arms with her and leading her out the back door to the paddock.
He apparated them to the top of a hill and began to spread out a blanket.
"So what exactly do you do career wise Anthony?" asked Hermione as she sat down on the blanket.
"Nothing special. Mostly I just work at the Kiwi equivalent to Flourish and Blotts. All I can afford to do since I don't have any qualifications." said Anthony sitting down on the blanket beside her before pouring Hermione some coffee from a flask.
"Why not? I thought you would have gone to Rimutaka with your sisters." said Hermione taking the cup he offered her.
"Let's just say I dropped out in my third year. Mum wasn't happy. Had a hissy fit as I recall. But over time she's accepted the fact that not all her kids can be perfect," said Anthony pouring himself a cup.
"I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I'd dropped out of Hogwarts. Studying was my life when I wasn't helping Harry of course." sad Hermione.
"I can't imagine someone as hot as you being so obsessed with school work." said Anthony.
"Flatterer. I can definitely see how you and Ron are related." grinned Hermione.
"Really? But why were you so obsessed with work?" asked Anthony.
"I wanted to have as good a life for myself as possible." shrugged Hermione.
"I wish I had been as ambitious as you," said Anthony leaning in to wards Hermione.
She felt his lips meet hers and closed her eyes.
When she opened them he was looking at her in an admiring way.
"What?" asked Hermione.
"Nothing. You're just so beautiful." smiled Anthony his hand under her chin while his thumb rubbed her bottom lip.
Hermione smiled at him when she saw Ron approaching them.
"Oh hey Ron. I was just telling Anthony about our time at Hogwarts." Said Hermione as Anthony moved his hand from her chin.
"Oh k. um Anthony I got your note. " said Ron.
"Lets go talk in the kitchen. Herms you mind bringing the stuff in?" asked Anthony as he got up.
"No of course not." smiled Hermione.
Anthony led Ron back to the burrow while Hermione packed everything into the basket before following them.
