A/N: Ok Ok. I noticed that a lot of hearts will be broken if I don't continue. And Laura, I will compare abs later! Lol! Thanks for all your advice and support everyone!

Chapter 8

After the confession, everyone was more relaxed but at the same time a little stressed. For example, Harry and Ginny were sitting opposite from each other at the dinner table and Harry was watching Ginny as she ate. 'Wow, she eats like a princess.' Ginny looked up quite amused.

"Then you better treat me like one, love." Ginny said slyly. Harry smiled slightly and winked and said, "Oh I will!"

After they ate, Ron went out for a run and Hermione went up into her room to write a letter to her parents. Harry and Ginny sat next together in the den.

"Harry-" Ginny started.

"Gin-" Harry started at the same time.

"You first." They both said at the same time and laughed.

"Ladies first."

"Ok. I have an idea. We should get Hermione and Ron together."

"That is what I was going to say!"

"I know. I have read their minds and they both want each other but won't admit it!"

"Hmmmm. I think I have an idea! You know how Ron is scared of spiders and Hermione is like a mother when it comes to fears? Well, here is the plan…"

Meanwhile, upstairs Hermione was writing a letter to her parents:

Dear Mom and Dad,

How are you doing on your cruise? I am doing well. And yes I am taking care of my teeth. Ron, Ginny, and Harry are giving me the best birthday present ever! They are taking me to America! I am writing for permission to go. Please? You can call us. The Weasley house number is 588-2300. I have to go now.

Love you Always,

Hermione

She was sending it the muggle way because people on the cruise would have quite a fright if an owl showed up in the middle of day with a letter. She knew they were at her aunts house for the next few days so she addressed the letter and ran down the steps and out the door to the mailbox. She saw Ginny and Harry in the den as she passed talking about something in hushed tones but didn't care about it really. She slowed to a stop when she realized that the Weasleys didn't have a mailbox. She looked around and saw Ron running around the corner, finishing his run. She noticed first that he wasn't wearing a shirt so his freckled chest and abs were clearly in view.

'Oh my god. He isn't wearing a shirt. Don't- wait. Ginny are hearing this?'

"Yes Hermione!" Ginny called from the front door. Hermione twirled around to face Ginny but her foot got caught in a root and she felt herself falling then two muscular arms caught her from behind. She looked up with wide eyes and saw Ron's face red from his run. She had to admit that he looked cute. He turned her around so that she was standing straight.

"Are you alright?" His voice full of concern.

"Yeah….." her voice quivering thinking about what a fall that would have been then she burst out in tears and started sobbing on Ron's chest.

"Shh…shh…It's ok. Your fine Mione." He murmured in her hair which had gone from frizzy curly to wavy curly.

"I-I c-could ha-ave b-broken s-s-something. T-thanks R-ron." She said trying not to start crying again.

"Come on. Why were you out here anyway?"

"I have to send this to mom and dad. It is for permission to go to America." Hermione said after calming down.

"Why don't you owl them?"

"Because they are muggles and they are with muggles!"

"Oh yeah."

"Here let me take that. You go inside and relax a little .You look like you fell 200 feet."

"Ok." She watched as he walked down the street with the letter in his hand and disappeared around the corner and she turned around and walked back into the house.

Ginny and Harry watched through the window at Hermione and Ron as Hermione fell and Ron held her.

"They look good together." Ginny remarked.

"Yeah. Lets do the plan tonight."

A/N: Hows that? R&R! please and thank you!
