Morning.
"No thanks, Ron ... don't you know, you should cover your mouth when you yawn- it might let the devil in." "Bloody hell! Don't tell me you believe in those superstitions ... do you?" "Yes, as a matter of fact I do" Replied Hermione trying not to notice the hysterical giggles from the boy opposite her. "Oh Shut Up!" Complained Hermione, giving up. "Ok, ok" Agreed Ron breathlessly, "So, if you don't want toast- what do you want ... bacon, cornflakes, porridge, fruit?" asked Ron, ticking off the several items of food on his fingers. "Some grapes would be nice," replied Hermione in a voice just as sour. Ron went off around the kitchen searching for the bowl of fruit his mother refilled everyday while Hermione found a plate for herself. "It said on the WWN last night that today's going to be the hottest day this summer." Ron told Hermione, passing her a mixture of red and green grapes. "Wow, we should really do something to celebrate. I know, let's have a garden party ... if it's alright with your Mum." "Yeah, Mum'll be fine with it- she loves cooking, she just moans to make a point to my dad that he doesn't do enough. We could do the decorations, Ginny could sort out the music and Fred and Geo- actually, no, best not risk it, Harry can organise seating. What do you think?" Ron asked Hermione excitedly. "Fantastic idea!" Said Hermione grinning at Ron who grinned back.
"What are you two smiling at?" asked a tired looking Harry wearing blue pyjamas. "We're having a party! Tonight. Around seven?" said Ron glancing at Hermione quizzically. "Yep, seven on the dot- and you're doing the seating arrangements!" Said Hermione in a voice that said 'You'll do it if you want to live'. "Great." Replied Harry sarcastically. "I'm going to get dressed," said Hermione. "I think I'll join you," said Ron, catching up with her. Hermione shot him a look. "Not in that way" said Ron turning as red as his hair. Hermione just giggled, sounding scarily like Lavender.
Hermione departed from Ron's company just outside Ginny's door and went inside. Inside, Ginny was still dead to the world, so Hermione crept quietly over to the chest of draws and pulled out a pair of her best (cleanest) jeans and a t-shirt and pulled them on. She then stood up, examined herself in the mirror. 'Mmmm, something's missing' thought Hermione. 'Jewellery!' Hermione then put on her silver watch, necklace and slipped the sapphire earrings, which Ron had bought her as an early birthday present into her ears.
Hermione then heard a knock on the door. "Ready?" Hissed Ron's voice. "Ready" said Hermione and she pulled on the doorknob.
