Hermione fell asleep in the sun on her towel under the big umbrella. She woke up and was being hovered over by a tall red headed boy. She sat straight up in shock and looked into the boy's face.
"Hermione?" Hermione leapt up and wrapped her arms around his neck. He stumbled backwards and they fell onto the sand and he finally took part in the hug after a few seconds.
"Ronald!" Hermione pulled away and got off of him. "What are you doing here? What a coincidence!" She hugged him once again.
"Yeah. Fred and George and Harry are all here too getting a hotel room at the Sand Dollar Suite." He explained.
"No way! We're staying there too!" Hermione said enthusiastically. "Room 167!"
"Hermione!" Harry's voice sounded from behind them as they sat down in the sand.
Hermione stood up and accepted Harry's quick but intense hug.
"It's so amazing that you are all here!" Hermione said. Harry sat down on the other side of Hermione.
"Yeah we've been driving for hours." Harry said.
"Who else came with you?" Ron asked.
"Pavarti and Padma Patil and Ginny. That's all."
"Oh yeah. This must be the trip Ginny was talking about for ages. I'm surprised she even got her license." Ron said.
"The Patil twins? Are you joking?" Harry asked. In there fourth year at Hogwarts, there was a Yule Ball. Harry was forced to find a date so he took Pavarti Patil and Ron took Padma Patil. They didn't have a very good time at the ball.
"Oh don't worry Harry. Pavarti's completely over the Yule ball event." Hermione said knowing what Harry was thinking of. Good.
Seconds later, Fred and George came up to them wearing their swimming trunks and Hermione said her hellos, hugged them and watched them dive into the ocean and meeting up with Pavarti and Padma like it was planned from the moment after they said 'hello' and spotted the girls in the ocean.
"Well, I'm sorry about leaving you two- alone- but I- err- forgot something in that place- somewhere there-" Harry dashed off quickly as Ron gave him a deepened frown and turned casually back towards Hermione.
They sat there in utter silence for several uncomfortable minutes. Finally Hermione and Ron both made a gesture to break the silence between them at the same time. They blushed at the confused mumble and went quiet again.
"Wanna swim-"
"Sounds good." Hermione answered quickly before he finished the question. They stood and walked towards the ocean water. Ron accidentally tripped over a log and fell over face first into the sand. On the way down, he grabbed Hermione's arm and she was pulled down on top of him. Salty water washed over their heads to the middle of their backs. They noticed their position and Hermione rolled off and blushed.
Hermione glanced at Ron and his face was covered in seaweed and sand. Hermione began to laugh hysterically even though the situation wasn't all that funny. Ron splashed Hermione with water and she got up and ran. She hadn't gotten that far when she fell again under Ron's weight after he jumped at her legs purposely. They began a series of playfully pushing and falling.
From the distance, under the large umbrella, Harry, Ginny, Pavarti, Padma, Fred and George sat and watched the two. The girls were smiling at the potential romance and the guys were high-fiving like they were waiting for this to finally happen. Fred passed George seven galleons and George passed Harry five while still watching Ron and Hermione playing around.
