Chapter 2
Harry and Ginny stopped dancing. They saw Hermione crying. They saw Ron comforting her. They wonder and pondered what had happened. Harry told Ginny what he was pondering about and Ginny told him she was thinking the exact same thing. They went over to Hermione and Ron.
Ginny asked, "What did my brother do now? I will kill him if you want. I have been practicing for this moment. Tell me!"
Ron said, "What makes you think I did something because I didn't. She is pissed off at Krum. Krum cheated on her with my girlfriend and Lavender. Did you notice he was cheating on Hermione with my ex-girlfriend? The only girl I had!"
Harry yelled, "Hermione and Ron, you guys are prefect for each other and not just that but the fact that you guys are having an affair doesn't mean you have to make up stories. We can keep a secret. But I really didn't expect this from you Ron. I didn't expect it from both of you guys. You are my best friends. I would be nothing without you guys but I mean you guys are definitely something without me. I mean how could you guys to this to Krum and Melanie? You disgust me. I am embarrassed that I have best mates that make out with each other. You really didn't think this time did you? Hermione, I really didn't expect this from you of all people!"
Ginny stopped her husband and said, "Listen Harry. Ron is speaking the truth. Listen it is recorded on Hermione's phone. I think Krum needs an ass whopping for life. He can't just walk around cheating on people. One day he is going to meet his match! One day alright. One day!"
Hermione smiled and said, "Let's go on a trip a long trip to tour some of America and then go to Cuba then to Jamaica. It will be fun. He really could get a lot of people to come. Like we can get Neville, Seamus, Collin, Dennis, Luna, Dean, Linda, Julie, Gillian, Shannon, Terry, everyone from Gryffindor! We can have wild parties and nothing but fun!"
They all agreed with Hermione that this was the best idea she ever had. This was al so the wildest but the coolest. Ron was just happy Hermione was so over that Krum. Hermione was happy she was too. She wished to be in Ron's arms. She was clever and that is what this trip is for. She left for a drink.
Ron went up to Hermione and said, "Hermione, I really need to tell you that. I think….I think….umm…I …umm….I think you came up with a great idea. We will have so much err…fun together. I have an uncle that has a hotel, The Palms. He has enough for all the couples. But you and I don't have anyone. So we have to share a room. Is that okay with you?"
Hermione just said, "Yeah, It's alright. I mean we are best friends and all. And I just am so excited we are leaving tomorrow. Wait I have to check with our boss. I hope Lily gives us time off. I hope everyone gets time off. Wait… I can ask your dad, The Minister of Magic. He will grant everyone leave since we all work for the ministry. He will be able to let everyone go. Bye Ron!"
She gave Ron a peck on the cheek and went to tell the new couple bye. After she did she apparated home. Her job as an Unspeakable was quite easy for her. She was very big and was about to replace Lily. Her job meant the world to her but that has now changed.
She wrote a letter to Mr. Weasley and owled it to him. She was expecting a reply in 5 minutes.
Mr. Weasley was making millions now but that did not go to his head. He was about to go through the door as an owl stopped him. It was from Hermione. He read:
Dear Mr. Weasley,
Hi. How are you? I am begging you to give all the people in the Ministry time off to go on Holiday with me. We intend to go on July 20, 2005. Is that fine with you? We want to be gone for a week but some like Harry, Ginny, Ron and me are wondering if it will be okay to go for a month. We will be working as soon as we get back and you can send our assignments. Thank you, Mr. Weasley. Please reply as soon as you get this letter.
Yours Truly,
Hermione Granger
He just wrote her quickly and replied it was fine. Especially since there is nothing going on in the Ministry. Hermione was happy with his reply and sent out invitations for 'The Palms'. She wrote special letters to Harry, Ron, and Ginny. This was fun for her. It took her mind off everything. It was the best thing that had ever happened since the call.
Ron woke up to see a letter from Hermione. He read:
Dear Ron,
Thank you for being there for me yesterday. We are going for a month. I set up arrangements with your uncle and with Mr. Steve Boycott. We will be going to The Palms then Jamaica. This will be so cool. Meet me for lunch at noon. At "Blue Bones". Thanks again Ron. I really appreciate it.
Love,
Hermione
He was definitely going for lunch. It was free and at his 2nd favorite fancy restaurant. He was also going because he loved Hermione but no one had to know that. He looked at his watch it was 11:30. He showered and left for "Blue Bones".
