Ron awoke early in the morning to find Hermione changing into some clothes rapidly. He shielded his eyes with his hands, and muttered, "Oops, sorry, Hermione."
Hermione hadn't known he was awake, and turned around startled. "Oh thats my fault...I didn't know you would wake up so early." She pulled down her shirt and bit her lip. "Good morning, sweetums!" She sat down by him on the bed and gave him a peck on the lips.
"'Morning, 'Mione," Ron grinned. "Don't we have plans with Harry and Ginny today?" Hermione nodded and quickly said, "Yes! And I know where we will eat! Guess!"
"Uh..I give up."
"The lake!"
Ron's jaw dropped. Wasn't Hermione scared of that lake? The same lake where she was almost killed by Inferi?
"I know you're most probably thinking that I am scared of the same lake that Inferi almost killed me in, but if I don't go in the water, I should be okay, right? Its such a beautiful sight, Inferi or no Inferi," she piped up.
"Right, right...well, I'll have to use one of your phune things to give Harry a call at Godric's Hollow," Ron said.
"Phone, Ron, and I'm guessing I will have to help you how to dial phone numbers."
"Dial?"
"Oh, nevermind." They both laughed.
Later, after they had called Harry and Ginny, Ron and Hermione were in the kitchen fixing sandwiches. Ron had peanut butter all over his clothes and was now going to put the jelly on the sandwiches. Hermione was fixing a gorgeous floral bouquet to set in the middle of the picnic blanket. She glanced over at Ron and gave a slight giggle.
"What?"
"Nothing...you look so adorable with that peanut butter and jelly all over you," Hermione giggled.
Ron smirked, and took a big swipe of the jelly and threw it at Hermione, but she ducked it as it went over her head and onto the wall. Ron sighed. "'MIONE!" "WON-WON!" "Don't start with that!"
Harry and Ginny apparated at eleven o'clock, just in time for lunch, in front of the Granger house. They knocked on the door. Harry had a big wool blanket under his arm, and Ginny held a wine bottle.
Ron opened the door.
"GINNY WHAT THE! YOU ARE TOO YOUNG TO DRINK THAT!"
"I'm 17, Ron, and by the way, its for you and Hermione," Ginny said, smiling.
Harry grinned. It won't only be for them, he thought.
"Ohhhhh, that was thoughtful. Hermione's just fixing up the sandwiches I..er..kind of put together," Ron said, scratching his head. Hermione appeared at his side with a basket and the vase of flowers in her hands. "All ready! How good to see you, Ginny!"
"Its only been a few days, Hermione," Ginny said. They all burst out in laughter and walked to the lake.
Harry sighed as he walked next to Ginny. He wanted to hold her hand so bad, the urge was just too strong. And so he did it without even thinking. Ginny gasped.
