Chapter 2
Today was beyond beautiful, but everyday on the Mediterranean proved to be that and more. The wind from the sea gave a cool and almost much needed breathe of life to the dry heat of the land. The sun was shinning down giving life to the flowers and color to the skin. You could se how easily one could fall in love in this atmosphere. The romance of it all was all too over whelming. Well that was except for Hermione and her friends. The romance of Spain was being overcastted by the antics of Fred and George. It seemed that not matter how old they became, they never would mature to the age of sensible men. Approaching their late twenties now, Hermione thought them to be notorious bachelors and this idea was shared with her, there mother, Ginny and their sister in law Fleur. Ginny kept giving Hermione the 'I told you we never should have invited them' eye as they watched the twins cause suitcase after suitcase start to sound off as if it were a burglary alarm. Hermione herself had to hold back the giggles when a stubby old witch cam up to hers and sent her poodle to check it out. She gave Ginny a joking grin.
"Just think, it could have been a muggle cruise; that would have been an awful mess. " Hermione knew Ginny would have agreed with her if it weren't for the fact that her suitcase started to go off in an alarm as well. Hermione was happy to have managed to book a wizarding cruise. One she wouldn't have even know existed it weren't for the fact that one of her co-workers took one on her honeymoon.
"Alright, all the tickets are in order!" Harry said interrupting Hermione's thoughts. "They said to leave or luggage where it is and go ahead a board the vessel. We even managed to get our rooms right next to each other." Harry exclaimed causing a deep blush to not only come over his face but practically take over Ginny. It had been a known fact that Ginny and Harry had been very smitten by each other and while they dated briefly his duty had taken him down a path that had separated them for sometime. But Hermione knew that both of them longed to be with each other. She had hoped that maybe this trip would allow them to reignite their old flame. But having three older and highly protective brothers around made that somewhat difficult. Seeing how no matter how much they loved and respected Harry she would all be the baby sister.
"I think it's time we've got to our cabins." Ron said injecting on the feelings being spread through the air. And with that the gang got up and walked on board the ship greeted by the captain and his staff. And this, thought Hermione, is the start of an adventure.
