Holler! Sorry this took longer than I thought. It's coming up on finals season, so yeah, life may get in the way, but I'll try extra super hard to update as often as possible, and reviews make me want to write faster! Love you guys!

Ron didn't quite know what to make of Harry's letter. He seemed in earnest, but did Harry really mean to invite him into the muggle world? And was Harry really having that much fun at the Dursley's? It just seemed a little odd that's all.

And who is this girl May that had invited him to stay with her? Harry had said she was a witch, so how come she didn't go Hogwarts?

Ron was re-re-reading Harry's letter in the kitchen when Ginny bounded down the stairs. They were home alone, as usual. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were busy with the Order, the twins with their joke shop, etc.

"What-cha got there?" Ginny asked

"Letter from Harry. He invited me to visit him this summer," Ron answered, lifting his head to see how Ginny would react to this odd news.

"Really? The Dursley's aren't driving him mad? Usually we invite him over."

"I know, It's odd. But I think I'd like to go, but, I don't want to leave you here by yourself. Not that you're young, just that you'd be bored: Ron said, thinking out loud.

"You mean life around here could possibly be even more boring? I'd like to see that," Ginny scoffed,

"Seriously, Ginny, do you mind if I go? Hell, do you want to come with?"

"No, I don't want to come. I'll call Luna or someone, see if I can stay with her. She's nuts; she'll be fun. Or I could see if I could stay with Dean…"

Ron sat up real straight at that suggestion. Ginny smiled at her protective brother.

"…but I know that mom would never allow it," she smiled.

Ron relaxed back into his seat. It wasn't that he didn't trust Ginny, it was just that, well, she was younger than him. And she shouldn't have a serious relationship before he did. Ron had never kissed a girl. He had wanted to kiss a girl for a while—one girl in particular. But she was always off writing to Victor Stupid Krum.

The logistics of the deal were worked out fairly quickly. Ginny would go stay with Luna for a few weeks. Ron would take floo powder over to May's house on Monday morning.

Harry was super excited to see Ron. May had given him directions to her house so that could be there to greet him. Harry had a hard time convincing Millie not to come greet Ron, too. After all, Millie couldn't witness a human appearing out of the chimney. She was a muggle. How would they explain that?

He told her that he wanted to build suspense; he wanted to make Ron really eager to meet her…or some other made-up story like that. He could tell she didn't buy it, but Millie didn't argue, though she was a little hurt that Harry didn't want her there.

Claire had walked over to May's house as well.

May's parents were not at home, but they had helped prepare the guest bedroom, as they were very excited that their daughter was making such famous friends.

May's mom had prepared pumpkin juice and cold sandwiches for Ron's arrival. He was expected any minute.

May, Claire, and Harry all sat in the living room, (May and Harry on the sofa, Claire on the Lay-Z-Boy) staring at the fireplace, waiting for the red-head to burst out of it.

"So do you think he'll bring a lot of luggage?" Claire asked.

"I hope so! I cleaned out those big closets, he better use them!" May exclaimed. "Plus, I hope he brought a lot of clothes so we can dress him up."

Claire added, "I hope he brought a swim suit!"
May and Claire started having a giggle fit. Harry rolled his eyes and looked at the clock. Anytime now, Ron.

Two long minutes later, the fireplace started cracking!

Ron made a smooth landing, though his hair slightly tousled and his face slightly sooty. Though to be honest, this rugged look did wonders for Ron. He appreared very manly and tough, surrounded by flames with a determined look in his eye.

May and Claire took a sharp breath inward when Ron stepped out onto the floor.

Harry ran over to give Ron a hug.

"Hey man! How's it going?" Harry greeted.

Ron smiled, it was good to be somewhere different, "Good, good, everything's fine."

Ron paused to look around the room. It was a large house, nearly a mansion. This living room had a high ceiling with bright white walls and comfortable looking furniture.

He saw the two star-struck blondes on the couch and gave Harry a mischievous grin. "Hey, I thought you said she was a red-head," Ron said.

"Oh, no, she is. She's a muggle; she's not here," Harry said hurriedly, "There are May and Claire. This is May's house. You'll be staying here."

May got up first and shyly shook his hand. Claire shook his hand and then pulled him into a hug and kissed him on the cheek, "You are so welcome at my house, too" she said, "It's just down the block."

May and Claire exchanged glances. Harry freaking Potter and Ron freaking Weasley were standing right in from of them. They were going to have so much to brag about at the next Fan Club meeting.
