Woosh!

In a blaze of green fire Hermione was standing in the Weasley's kitchen with her trunk and bag looking at Mrs. Weasley magically preparing breakfast as she dusts the ash from her clothes.

"Good morning Hermione, dear."

"Good morning, Mrs. Weasley, sorry I am a bit early."

"Oh not at all, you right in time for breakfast. I think Ginny is the only one still asleep, go ahead and leave your trunk there for the time being, I will get the boys to take it up later" she said motioning to Hermione's trunk ;laying in the fireplace.

"Since Ginny is still sleeping you can go ahead and put your other bag in Ronald's room for the time being. Fred, George and Harry are in the back practicing."

"Thanks" replied Hermione and she climbed the darken crooked staircase towards Ron's room.

Hermione walked by the bathroom and notices it was occupied it sounded as though someone was talking a shower. She approached Ron's door and lightly knocked

No response she pressed her hand to the doorknob and walked inside setting her bad next to Pig's cage and softly petting Pig through the wire. Pig softly cooed and stirred as she did and Hermione gave a slight smile. She peered through Ron's worn curtains she could see the figures of Harry, Fred and George play on the distance. She sat on Ron's bed and breathed in the familiar smell that surrounded her. The smell of the burrow, the smell of summer, the smell of Ron. She smiled and closed her eyes…

Ron was just turning off the water from his shower, it had been lengthy, he found it hard to focus on the task at hand he had been so excited about seeing Hermione once again, he very much doubted Harry would still be asleep in the room. After toweling off, he wrapped the towel around his waist and picked up his clothes from the floor, with his other hand he made his way to his door, turned the knob and walked it.

As the door closed Ron saw Hermione laying there on his bed,

Hermione sat up and looked at Ron ad gave a slight noise as she saw what he was or rather wasn't wearing.

Ron dropped his clothes to more securely tighten his towel.

Blushing tremendously he asked "Hermione, what are you doing in here?" in a high pitched voice rather strongly.

Hermione averted her eyes, after staring at him momentarily, blushing as well at the sight she had just witnessed.

"I'm sorry Ron I was just waiting for you I didn't know you were going to be so….so……"

"Lacking clothes?" he said and shifted awkwardly, she looked at his face and smiled she had actually gotten a pretty good look at Ron and was pleased about the sight she saw.

"Well yes of course."

Ron and Hermione were both equally red from blushing and there was a stiff silence between them…

"This is a bit… awkward" Hermione said " I need to go."

Ron nodded….he would have liked being in a room alone with Hermione, in fact there were a lot of things he would have liked about this certain situation if only him and her were dating, but they weren't he thought in disappointment and he was Very aware that the only thing blocking her from seeing him stark naked was a towel he wish was bigger.

She bolted up from the bed anxiously and walked towards Ron who was standing in front of his door. She slowly approached him and he stared at her his hands holding the towel making sure nothing were to slip off. He felt her brush up against his arms and chest as she attempted to reach the door handle. Ron was too dumfounded to figure out he should probably move out of her way to ease her leaving but he stayed in place. He felt her warmness brush up against him again and became aware that Hermione was touching him when he gave a jolt, .

"Ooh... sorry..." he said as he finally moved out of her way as she opened the door, staring at her.

"Um... I'll see you downstairs, Ron." She said and looked up to meet his gaze with a smile

"Yeah, yeah downstairs…"he said nervously "…see you in a bit." She exited to the hall and Ron closed the door behind her.

He inhaled deeply and leaned up against the door.

"Now time for a cold shower." Ron said quietly
