Four Way Connection

The Burrow - Part Two

Pool Party

Hermione's PoV

I can't believe this! He's flirting with Luna! He said he didnt like her. This is all her fault! Well, two can play at this game!

"Oh, Ron. Would you come over here a second?" I say sweetly.

"Yeah sure honey. I'll be right there."

Once he's standing next to me I hiss "Ron! I thought we were acting like a couple! I thought you were supose to pretend you were dating me!"

"What? Yeah I know. And I am." He says.

"No you're not! You're in the pool flirting with Luna!"

"I am not flirting with her! We're just having fun."

"I don't think that's what she's calling it! Now, it's your pick! We can countinue to act like a couple so Luna doesn't think you're in love with her or I'll back off and you can go have 'fun' with Luna, which is SO not what you're doing, by the way." I whisper.

"God no! Ok you're right. We haven't really been acting like a couple." He takes my hand and leads me to the edge of the pool.

Ginny and Harry smile at me and then return their attention to eachother. They're sitting by the edge of the pool as well. They look really happy. They're talking quietly to eachother, making googly eyes at eachother, and flirting like there's no tomorrow.

Before I can stop myself I sigh aloud. "What's the matter?" Ron asks me as we sit down on the oppsite side of the pool from Ginny and Harry. They're my best friends, which is why I feel so bad when I think about how jealous I am of them.

Ron follows my gaze until he sees them. "Mione, come on. Lets have some fun."

I smile at him and he jumps into the pool. Once he comes back up he says "Come in."

"No way! It's freezing." I tell him. He's crazy if he thinks he can get me in there.

"Mione. Have some fun!" And with that he grabs my arm and pulls me in.

I can't believe he just did that! I'm going to kill him!

"See, it isn't that bad is it?" He smiles as I come back up for air.

"No but that still doesn't mean I'm not going to kill you!" I smile back as I push him back.

It would have been funny to see him fall back with a huge splash, and I would have if he hadn't pulled me in with him - again!

"Ron! Stop it! You're going to make me drown!" I laugh as I swim away from him.

"Mione, you know I would never let anything bad happen to you." He tells me as he swims near me again.

Damn! Why does he have to be so sweet? He smiles at me and moves closer. Oh God! Is he going to kiss me?! He moves even closer, closing the space between us. I can feel his bare skin on mine and my breath catches in my throat. We're going to kiss - -

Suddenly a huge splash of water knocks me back a bit. I look over to see who broke us apart. Of course, Luna.

"What are you guys doing?" She asks Ron through narrowed eyes.

"What? Now it's a crime to kiss my girlfriend!" His tone angry.

Luna obvously felt just as angry because she started mumbling to herself, something about how evil I was.

"Sweetie, are you okay?" He asks me as he begins to cool off. I smile and nod. He brightens up and takes my hand. "Good."

After awhile we all got bored and decided to get dried up.

"Hey guys, I have an idea! Why don't we all meet down here in half an hour and go for a picnic in the woods." Ginny suggests.

"That sounds good." Harry says.

"Sure. If Ron goes." Luna looks up at Ron.

I can't believe her! Why wont she give up? Can't she tell Ron's MINE!

Ron turns away from Luna and says "I'm in as long as Mione comes." Then smiles at me.

"Yeah, sure!"

We all agree to be back down by eight and then climb the stairs up to our rooms.

Luna is in the shower now. I let her go first just so I can have some time to talk to Ginny alone.

"Gin, how are things with you and Harry? I saw you guys sitting by the pool the whole time." I beam. I know she's just dying to talk about whatever happend then.

She sighs and says "Hermione, he's amazing! But we'll talk about Harry tonight! I wanna know what's going on with you and my brother! I saw you and him in the pool! I might be younger than you but I can tell when two people are about to kiss! And that so wasn't just a 'pretend' kiss! You could totally tell he you guys weren't just about to kiss because you're 'dating'!"

I start to blush a deep red. I can't believe she's bringing this up! "And if she hadn't splashed you guys you would have! Ah! I can't believe she's going this far all for Ron! Who so obviously loves YOU!" She countinues.

"Yeah, well. Whatever! Anyways, lets get ready. What are you going to wear? Can I borrow something? I don't have a very wide selection of muggle clothes." I ask her.

"Yes! Sure, go ahead! After that huge raise dad got this summer I think I've got more muggle clothes than I'll ever be able to wear!" She laughs.

"Thanks!"

Just then Luna walks in and walks over to her bed.

"You can take your shower now Herninny."

"What did you just call me?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You know what I'm talking about! And you know that isn't my name!"

"I have no idea what you're talking about!"

"Whatever!"

And with that I stamped into the bathroom.
