OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"Morning mum." Hermione said yawning as she walked into the kitchen with Suzy dragging her feet in behind her.

"Good Afternoon, you two! You guys sure stayed up late. Want any breakfast? I made pancakes. There on the stove."

"Thanks, mum" Hermione said, she never really was a morning person, at least not in the summer.

"Yeah, thanks, Mrs. Granger." Suzy added.

They both had some pancakes and a glass of orange juice. Now that they had some time to wake up they were in a much better mood, than when they first came downstairs and had a lot more energy. They had been so sleepy earlier that they both forgot about asking Hermione's parents if Harry, Ron and Ginny could stay over. When they remembered they went off to find Hermione's mom since her dad had already left for work. After searching the whole house they finally found her outside working in the garden.

"Mum, is it okay if Ron, Ginny and Harry come over for the rest of the summer?" Hermione asked her.

"Sure honey, I don't think that'd be a problem."

"Thanks! You're the best!" She gave her mom a hug and her and Suzy went back into the house.

"So when are you going to write back to Ron?" Suzy asked Hermione as they walked into the house.

"Right now."

"Cool. I'm gonna go home, my mom wanted me back before two."

"Okay, I'll see you later."

Hermione went up stairs to her room and got out a piece of parchment, a quill and her bottle of ink and began to write.

Dear Ron,

I asked my mom if you, Ginny and Harry could stay and she said that it was fine! Isn't that great? What time can you come? Anytime is good for me but the sooner the better! I have to go. Write back when you get this letter. Tell Ginny I said hi.

Love from, Hermione

P.S. I really hope you've been doing your homework! You can't let it just sit in you bag all summer and then ask me for it, because you won't get it. See you soon.

After writing Ron's letter, she remembered she had to write Harry too. So she took another piece of parchment out and began to write again.

Dear Harry,

How are you? I'm pretty good. I hope that your aunt and uncle are treating you well. I was wondering if you could come over for the rest of the summer? Ron and Ginny are both coming over sometime soon. If you can come, owl me back with when and if you can't owl me back anyway. I hope to see you soon!

Love from, Hermione

P.S. I'm not sure yet, but you may be getting a visit from my friend Suzy and me. Just thought I'd warn you.

Hermione re-read the letters and went downstairs to get her owl. Her parents had gotten it for her has a birthday present last year. She named her Honey since her feathers were a light brownish color. She gave the letters to her and opened up the window, telling her who they were to. Honey flew out and disappeared into the sunny horizon.

A day went by pretty quick. Suzy stopped by around six and spent the night once again, but this time, they were sure to go to bed a little earlier than the night before.

"So, I was thinking, does Harry live around here?" Suzy said when they were talking later that night. That's what Hermione thought was going to happen.

"Well, I guess, he's not extremely far away." Hermione said to her. "Did you want to go over there?" Suzy's eyes lit up and Hermione could tell instantly that was just what Suzy had been thinking.

"Well, you know, if you wanted." She responded trying not to sound too desperate.

"Sure, how about we leave tomorrow morning?" Hermione said trying not laugh.

"Awesome. We should go to bed then, night." Hermione smiled and said goodnight to her and they both fell asleep.

They both woke up early the next morning and got ready to go. Hermione was wearing a pair of light blue jeans and a pink tank top with her pink flip-flops and Suzy was wearing a short jean skirt with a brown belt, a light green shirt and her green flip-flops.

"So what'd you think?" Suzy said turning in a circle showing Hermione her outfit.

"You look great!"

"Thanks, so do you." Hermione smiled and they started to walk to down the street. After going for about 10 minutes, Suzy asked Hermione a question.

"So how long will it take us to get there?"

"Well, I'd say it'd be about 5 more minutes… and two bus stops away."

"What? I thought you said it was close." Hermione shrugged and they went on walking, about thirty minutes later, they arrived at 4 Privet Drive. They knocked on the door and almost instantly Harry answered. I guess he remembered what I mentioned in my letter. Hermione thought.

"Hey 'Mione." Harry said happily, pulling her into a hug. "How have you been?"

"Good, just bored out of mind." Suzy hit her on the arm, and then smiled at Harry. "Well until Suzy got here." She added.

"Hey Suzy. I'm Harry." He said extending his hand. Suzy took it and gazed dreamily into his eyes. "Nice to meet you." She nodded and kept on shaking his hand. "Err… Can I have my hand back now?" Suzy snapped back reality and took her hand away quickly blushing slightly, mumbling, "Sorry."

"So do you guys wanna go for a walk?"

"Yeah, that sounds good." Hermione said. They all left Harry's doorstep and started to walk down the street. It was quiet for a few minutes until Suzy decided to speak up.

"Hey, where do you guys go to school anyway?"

When she said this Hermione tripped on her shoes, almost falling, and Harry choked on his own spit and started coughing hysterically.

"Harry, are you okay?" Suzy asked him sounding worried.

--Cough—"Oh, yeah." --Cough—

"Are you sure?" He was so busy coughing that all he could do was nod and wave his hand. Suzy was so frightened for Harry that she totally forgot what she asked them in the first place.

The talked about various things and after a while walking stopped at a small park that had swings and a slide. They each took a swing and sat down. Harry had to admit that Suzy was very pretty and funny. He even thought that he might have a chance with her, if he asked her out.

"So, why did you walk all the way here?" Harry asked them sounding amused. Hermione opened her mouth, but didn't get much further, Suzy beat he to it.

"Brains over here, didn't think of getting a ride from her mum." She said pointing her thumb in Hermione's direction. Harry started to laugh, but once he saw the look on Hermione's face he stopped laughing and cleared his throat. Suzy did the same thing and after that it was silent.

"So Harry, can you come over for the rest of the summer then?" Hermione said making conversation again and breaking the awkward silence.

"I'll be there, I don't care what the Dursley's say. I'm not staying there any longer."

"Great, I don't know when Ron and Ginny are coming but hopefully really soon."

"Ginny's coming?" Harry asked Hermione still swinging in her swing. Hermione nodded and Harry smiled.

"Who's Ginny?" Suzy asked the both of them curiously.

"She's Ron's sister." Hermione told her. Suzy seemed to lighten up a bit. Hermione figured it was because now she considered Ginny less of a threat to her.

They walked back to Harry's house and said their goodbyes. It was getting late and they needed to get home. Since it was nearing dark they thought it would be a good idea to call Hermione's mom to pick them up.

When the car arrived they got in and were home before they knew it. Since they were both exhausted and running out of things to talk about at their sleepovers, they each stayed at their own houses and fell asleep as soon as they hit their beds.

Two days passed and it seemed all Hermione had been doing was hanging out with Suzy. Honey hadn't come back yet and Hermione was getting pretty apprehensive. Fortunately, Honey came flying into he window just when Suzy's mom called saying that she had to leave and come home for dinner. She had two letters in her beak, one from Harry and one from Ginny. She read Harry's letter first:

Dear Hermione,

I know I already said I'd be there, but how about me coming on Friday around noon? I Sent Ron a letter telling him the night you two left, I didn't think It'd be a good idea if Suzy knew the time. See you then.

From, Harry

She then picked up the letter from Ginny and read it. Just like Harry mentioned in his letter it said how Harry wrote and they too would be over at twelve the next day.

The rest of the night passed and Hermione couldn't wait until tomorrow when she could see all of her friends again. She was hoping Suzy wasn't going to freak out considering Harry was going to be here for so long. She knew that Ginny still liked Harry too, even if she wouldn't admit it, the fact was it was true. Hermione was going to call Suzy but she thought that it would be better if she didn't call her until they were already at her house and so she could explain to Harry what a mess she had gotten him into. Hopefully he would forgive her.

Hermione woke up early that morning; she had trouble sleeping and figured that she should just get up. Before she knew it, it was already 12:10 and they still hadn't arrived. Looking at the clock and seeing the time, she went down stairs to find Ginny and Ron just coming out of the fireplace. She ran over to them and first gave Ginny a hug; over the years they had become best friends. Then she turned to Ron and gave him a hug too. She didn't want to let go but she did anyway. She smiled and said, "It's so great to see you two again!"

"Yeah, you too" they both said. Just then the doorbell rang and Hermione went to go answer it. It was Harry. "Hey Harry" Hermione said as she gave him a hug.

When they both walked in Ron was sitting on couch holding the remote clicking all the buttons looking very amused. With Ginny sitting next to him looking as though she were about to laugh. Ginny took Muggle Studies the year before and knew perfectly well what a television was and what it did. When Ron heard Hermione and Harry walk in he put down the remote and said, "Hey Harry" and next to him Ginny mumbled quietly, "Hi Harry." In return, he said hi to them both and smiled at Ginny making her blush a deep red that clashed with her fiery red hair. She turned her head toward the wall opposite her trying to hide her scarlet face.

A few minutes later, after they were all sitting down and talking to each other about their summer so far, there was a knock on the door. This time, Hermione knew who it must have been and said before she got up, "Harry, in advance, I am so sorry." And she started to walk toward the door.

"Sorry? For what?" He asked her. "I've already met Suzy, she's not that bad." Hermione waved for Harry to come closer to her, then told him, what she didn't want Ginny to hear.

"You see, I kind of told her I'd set you two up." She said quietly, glancing at Ginny just before opening the door. Harry went back to where he was sitting and smiled at Ginny. There was Suzy standing at the door, looking very anxious. Hermione hadn't really been expecting her because she never called, but she just assumed she had been watching through the window of her bedroom from across the street.

"Hey Suzy", she said at the doorway, "come on in everyone's in the living room." A wide smile flashed across her face and she walked in and into the living room.

"Everyone this is Suzy" she said, "Suzy, this is Ginny, Ron and Harry, but you guys already know each other." Pointing to each of them as she said each of their names. It seemed to Hermione that the only word Suzy heard was 'Harry'. She immediately walked over to him and said, "Hi Harry!" smiling broadly and gazing dreamily into his emerald green eyes. Harry, at this point, seemed very nervous and started to scoot away from her on the couch, running into Ginny. "Hi." He said quietly said with a small stutter in his voice. "Err … I'll be right back." Harry said as he stood up. "Hermione? Where's your bathroom?" Even though Harry already met Suzy, he wasn't expecting her to be so… scary, even after all the things he's been through. Noticing Harry's reactions, Hermione guessed that he changed his mind on what he thought about her.

"I'll show you." She said as she started to walk through the living room and up the stairs with Harry following closely behind her.

The rest of the evening went pretty good. Suzy had calmed down a bit though she was still trying to get as close to Harry as possible and Ginny looked simply furious. But luckily for her, Suzy had to be home by six for dinner. Her grandparents were coming over and her mother wouldn't let her stay any longer than that.

Later that night, Hermione showed them where they were going to sleep. Ginny would be staying in her room and Ron and Harry in the guest room down the hall from hers. In Hermione's room Ginny and her were talking as Hermione was blowing up an air mattress next to her bed.

"Isn't so great that we could stay here with you for the rest of the summer?" Ginny asked her, "to bad Suzy is going to be hanging all over Harry the whole time." She finished grumpily.

"Yeah, I guess she was going a little bit crazy earlier." Hermione just didn't have the heart to tell Ginny that she promised to set up Suzy with Harry. She was afraid she would never want to speak to her again.

"A little? A little? Are you insane Hermione? She was being more than a little crazy, Hermione." Ginny said very quickly all in one breath.

"Ginny, calm down." She said to her in a tranquil voice.

"Okay, sorry, it's just I don't like her, you know, hanging all over him." She said turning to go to the bathroom.

They talked a while before drifting off into peaceful sleep for the rest of the night. But not everyone was sleeping yet. Harry and Ron were still talking in their room.

"She really was gaga over you wasn't she?" Ron said smiling at Harry.

"She was really freaking me out. I'm definitely not looking forward to having her staring at me the rest of the summer. It's really weird; she seemed fine when her and Hermione stopped over. "

"I don't think she's the only person who'll be staring at you all summer."

"What do you mean?"

"Ginny. I saw the way she was looking at you when you walked into the living room and sat next to her. I thought she was going to explode by the color of her face."

"Very funny, but we both know that Ginny doesn't like me anymore. Not since fourth year."

"Yeah right." Ron said slowly, "Whatever you say, but I find that really hard to believe." Harry threw a pillow at Ron and headed out the door to bathroom.
