Okay here is the next chapter. This chapter takes place two years after the Weasleys sent out the portkey. Things will start to get interesting. Maybe not in this chapter. But in the chapters to come there defiantly will be. If anyone has ever read the blue lagoon this will sound very familiar. So most of the plot isn't mine. Of course Ron and Hermione aren't my characters. So far none of these are my characters. They belong to j.k. Rowling. Well Please Read and Review. Onward

Two Years later.

Ron Weasley got up early. Today was Christmas morning! It was only then Ron realized that he had forgotten to get Hermione a present.

'I hope it isn't too late to make her one.' he thought.

Ron went down to the ocean and jumped in. He began swimming. He remembered once finding a spot where there were a bunch of oysters. He swam out to the patch and collected as many as he could. Bringing them to shore, he took out his knife that he had made from sharpened rock and opened them up. Some had the pearls in which he was looking for and some of them didn't. When he was done, Ron took the few pearls he had collected, wrapped them in some seaweed and walked up to his and Hermione's house.

Ron Weasley had grown over the years. He was quite tall now. Very built from all the fishing and hunting he did. His skin that had once been so pale now sported a healthy tan.

Ron walked into the house climbing up the stairs he attempted to wake Hermione up. "Hermione get up its Christmas." Ron said.

"Bugger off." Hermione mumbled into her arm, rolling over.

"I guess I'll just have to get rid of your present then." Ron trailed off jokingly.

"Okay I am up." Hermione said, sitting up at once. She reached under the pillow she had made and pulled out something covered in a piece of clothing. They exchanged presents

"Okay on the count of 3 we open them together. Okay?" Ron said.

"Okay." Hermione said.

"1...2...3" Ron said.

They opened their presents. Ron got 4 new sharp knifes made from rocks. Hermione opened her pearls and gasped.

"Where did you get these?" she asked.

"There is a whole bunch of oysters a little ways away from here." Ron said smiling at her reaction.

Hermione smiled back at him. "So do you like your present?" she asked

"Yes. Thank you. I needed some new ones. These are really sharp. It must have taken you forever to do all four." Ron said

"Yes I did. I am glad you like them." Hermione said.

"What about your present? Do you like them?" Ron asked.

"Yes they are gorgeous. Thank you." Hermione said.

Then Hermione did something she had never done before. She leaned in and kissed Ron on the mouth. It wasn't anything special… just a friendly peck. It was still a kiss though. Ron looked at her surprise. Both of the teenagers blushed.

"Hum... Are you hungry?" Ron asked looking away, his ears burning.

"Yes. Starving."

Ron walked away and returned a few minutes later with his and Hermione's breakfast.

"Thanks Ron" Hermione said.

"Your welcome, Hermione." Ron said.

The two teenagers started eating their breakfast.

"So what do you want to do today?" Hermione asked.

"Well I was thinking of doing some fishing and hunting so we can have a little feast since its Christmas and all."

"That sounds good. What do you feel like eating tonight?" Hermione asked.

"I don't care too much. Probably fish tonight though. I've also got some oysters. We can boil them and have some soup too." Ron said.

"That sounds good." Hermione said.

"After supper we can sing Christmas carols near the fire." Ron said.

"Sounds good to me. Do you need help with dinner?" Hermione asked.

"No. You stay here and rest today. Let me do everything." Ron said.

"Okay." Hermione said.

"Well I must be off. I won't see you until around supper time because I am going to the other side of the island. There's better fish over there." Ron said.

"See you later." Hermione said.

Ron went off fishing. Hermione, on the other hand, decided to do some cleaning. She swept out the entire house with the broom she had made. Living on a beach tracks in tons of sand. She washed their clothes and changed their bedding. Afterwards, Hermione sat down to read. One thing that always surprised Hermione was that whenever she longed for a new book, one would appear. At first she thought this was weird. Ron kept reminding her that she was a witch, and stuff like that was bound to happen and eventually the thought finally sunk in. Now she hardly thought anything of it.

Ron returned around dinnertime. He came in, got something to drink and then told Hermione that he was going to set up dinner. Hermione stayed there and finished her book. When she was done with it, Ron came in and announced that supper was ready.

Ron had set the dinner up near the fire so they could stay warm. He had prepared a delicious dinner with fish, soup and vegetables that they had found in the forest.

"Wow Ron. It looks delicious. Thanks. "Hermione said.

"Oh you're welcome Hermione." Ron said.

The two teenagers sat down and ate supper. Once they finished eating, they sang Christmas carols- or at least the parts they could remember.

"So I saw that you cleaned the house today." Ron said.

"Yeah it needed it." Hermione said.

"I would have helped… you didn't have to do it all by yourself." Ron said.

"Oh that's alright Ron. Since you were fishing and making dinner I thought at least I could clean

the house. Oh I also washed the clothes and changed the bedding in our beds." Hermione said.

"Wow Hermione you did all that, and still had time to read?" Ron asked.

"Yeah." Hermione said.

"Well it's Christmas. You should have been resting." Ron said.

"You weren't" Hermione challenged.

"Well, true. Okay you win." Ron said with a laugh.

The two teenagers stayed up late talking.

"Well, I'm off to bed." Ron said.

"Me too. I am so tired." Hermione said.

"Thanks for the presents." Ron said.

"You're welcome. Thank you for the beautiful pearls." Hermione said laughing a little.

They both said goodnight to each other. They went to their beds and fell asleep almost at once.

Well That's that chapter. I hope you all liked it. Ron and Hermione's romance will start to blossom. I am not sure when. It all depends on what I come up with. Well please Review thanks for reading.
