Chapter 15- Let it Rain
Hermione awoke to the bright sunlight shinning through the window in her room. She moved a little and noticed Ron next to her. Ron had his arms around her and felt her move. He opened his eyes and looked at her.
"Morning Romeo." Hermione said.
"Morning." Ron yawned. "Do you feel better?"
"Yeah much better. I just don't think I'll be flying any time soon though." Ron smiled.
"What's for breakfast?" Ron asked with a loving smile.
"What would you like?" She asked.
"French toast and eggs and sausages." He replied. She smiled.
"All right let's go. I'll make you breakfast." She said. They both walked downstairs hand in hand. Ron sat down at the table and Hermione begun to make coffee.
"Where do you think the others are?" Ron wondered. Hermione walked over to the door and pulled it open. There were sounds of three people snoring loud and heavy breathing of another.
"Yeah, I thought Fred and George would be here too." Hermione said. She went over to the fridge and took out the stuff to make French toast, eggs, and sausages. Hermione poured Ron a cup of coffee and then started back on breakfast. Ron took a sip of coffee.
"So what are we doing today?" Ron asked.
"Whatever you want. I don't have a schedule any more." Hermione started mixing eggs and putting the sausages on the frying pan.
"Doesn't matter." Ron said.
"We'll find something to do." Hermione answered. When breakfast was cooked Hermione and Ron brought it all into the dinning room because there were more seats in there. Ron sat at the table while Hermione went to go wake the others. "Breakfast is ready!" Hermione shouted at the top of the stairs. She could hear moving down there so she went back into the dinning room with Ron. Soon they were joined by Harry, Ginny, Fred, and George.
"Who made breakfast?" Fred asked taking a seat.
"Hermione." Ron answered as he piled food onto his plate.
"Did you use magic?" George asked. He started eating.
"Nope." Hermione answered. They all ate the breakfast and after complementing Hermione on it dozens of times an owl was at the window.
"Not again!" George complained.
"That's the third time this week." Fred said. He went over to the window and opened it. As the letter came off of the owls leg it flew directly back out. Fred sat back down and ripped the letter opened. He groaned loudly and tossed it to George who reacted the same.
"Now we're short staff." George complained. They looked at each other and smiled before looking at Ron, Hermione, Harry, and Ginny.
"Would you four fancy helping us out today?" Fred wondered. The four exchanged looks and then looked at Fred and George's desperate faces.
"Sure."
"I guess."
"Why not."
"How can I get there I can't Apparate?"
"Well the fireplace is still connected to the Floo network so we'll bring over some Floo powder and you can Floo to the Leaky Cauldron." George said.
"Actually dad left some here I think." Ginny said.
"Ok, well then we'll see you in a half hour for work." Fred smiled.
"Thanks again for breakfast." George said. In two loud cracks they were gone. Harry and Ginny offered to clean up so Ron and Hermione went to get dressed. Hermione took out a dark blue short sleeve shirt from the drawer and a pair of capris. She pulled her hair into a ponytail and started her make-up. Ginny came through the door a minute later. Hermione slipped her feet into a pair of flip-flops and left Ginny to get changed. When she went into the living room Harry and Ron were dressed and watching TV.
"What are you going to do when we go back to Hogwarts and you can't watch TV any more?" Hermione asked as she sat next to Ron.
"Can we bring it with us?" Ron asked. Harry looked at her agreeing with Ron.
"I swear one of these days I am going to force you two to read Hogwarts A History and you would know that muggle things don't work on Hogwarts grounds as I've told you before." Hermione sighed.
"Oh yeah." Ron said disappointed.
"Are you two Apparating there or going by Floo." Harry asked.
"Apparating."
"What she said."
"I think I'm going to Apparate too." Harry said as Ginny came down.
"Ready?" She asked.
"Yup. See you there Gin." With three cracks they were gone leaving Ginny alone. She angrily grabbed the last of the Floo powder and went to the Leaky Cauldron. When she got there they all went to Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes. The store was just about to open and there were only 3 other people there. Fred, George, and Lee.
"Ok. Ron and Hermione you two handle the front counter, Harry and Ginny you two can go in the back and sort through the stuff back there, and George, Lee and I will walk around and help customers. Ok people get to work." Fred instructed. Ron and Hermione went around the counter while Harry and Ginny went into the back to sort. George went to open up the store. Soon people started filling in and looking around. Hermione and Ron were at either ends of the counter. Soon people came up to pay. They put their stuff on the counter and the wizard cash register told them how much to pay before opening. Hermione and Ron took the money and put it in the cash register. They were working for an hour when there was commotion by one of the shelves. Everyone looked. Fred had Seamus by the back of his shirt and was walking him to the door. George came over and held the door open.
"What is your problem?" Seamus asked. .
"Stay out and don't come back unless you want me to make your eyes match." George shouted.
"I don't want to hear that you talked to my brother or Hermione again or you'll have us to answer to us." Fred yelled and tossed Seamus out the door. They let the door close and continued to help the customers as if nothing happened. Hermione and Ron laughed as they went back to ringing up the customers. At 1 Fred and George let them off for an hour so they could have lunch. Hermione and Ron walked out onto Diagon Alley. Harry and Ginny already had their lunch break. They were going to go onto the muggle street and have lunch but they ran into Seamus in front of the Leaky Cauldron.
"So Ron, can't fight yourself? You have to have your brothers do it for you?" Seamus taunted.
"As I recall it Seamus, I didn't need my brothers there when I gave you that black eye so what makes you think I need them here now?" Seamus's face fell and he started to take out his wand.
"Your going to wish you never messed with me Weasley." Seamus said.
"Oh I'm so scared." Ron said in a mock scared voice. Ron took out his own wand and looked at Seamus.
"Ron-" Hermione started but she backed up when Seamus sent a curse at Ron. Ron deflected it with the disarming charm and Seamus's wand flew out of his hand.
"Your not worth it Finnegan." Ron said as he took Hermione's hand and led her to the Leaky Cauldron. Once they got onto the street and headed for a Wendy's for lunch Hermione turned to Ron.
"Thanks." Hermione smiled.
"For what?" Ron asked.
"For not fighting him. He isn't worth it."
"Oh well your welcome." Ron said. They went into Wendy's and ate. Hermione looked at her watch as they left the fast food restaurant.
"You know we still have a half hour. Do you want to walk around for a bit?"
"Yeah." They started down the street looking at all of the shops. "So I was thinking maybe sometime this week you and I could go out to eat. You know just us kind of like a real date." Ron asked with a blush creeping on his face. Hermione blushed and nodded.
"Ok. That sounds like fun." Ron smiled back at her.
"Is tomorrow ok?"
"Yeah that sounds good."
"We should probably head back now." Ron said and they turned around and walked back. On the way back to Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes they past Seamus who walked away as quickly as possible.
"Get back to work. Your 5 minutes late. You can take over Harry and Ginny's job." George said as he ushered them to the back. Hermione and Ron sat down in front of boxes and started to sort through the working stuff and the non working stuff.
"So when we go back to Hogwarts who do you think will make Head Boy?" Ron asked trying to make conversation.
"Probably Ernie or Malfoy. I hope it's not Malfoy though. Considering what he does when he's a prefect."
"I hope it's not Malfoy for your sake, you would have to deal with him since your going to be Head Girl." Ron said.
"Really you think I could be." Hermione asked blushing.
"Hermione, it's like you were born to be Head Girl. You have perfect grades and you're the most responsible person I know." Hermione blushed and smiled down at what she was looking at. Ron smiled at her reaction and continued to sort. After and hour of sorting they finally finished through all of the boxes. They went to Fred and George to find out what to do next.
"Just walk around and help people." George told them. They started to wander around and eventually got separated through the crowd. Hermione was walking around when she noticed a familiar person looking through the love potions. Lavender and Parvati were searching through all of them.
"Don't you think that you've done enough damage with those?" Hermione asked. Lavender turned around and looked startled but when she saw Hermione the look changed to one of deepest disgust.
"Oh it's you." Lavender said nastily.
"Yes it's me and you shouldn't be in here." Hermione said.
"Why not?" Lavender demanded.
"One, because Ron is mine so I would put down all of those love potions because you don't want to try that again and two, because your not aloud in this store any more." Hermione replied.
"Who says I'm not aloud in this store any more?" Lavender pulled out her wand and held it up to Hermione.
"We do." Fred and George came over.
"So if you don't get out now I'll be forced to throw you out." Lavender put her wand away and threw a nasty look at Hermione, Fred, and George before walking to the door with Parvati behind her. She took one last look back. Hermione waved to her and then continued walking around the store. At 5 o'clock the store closed and everyone one was gone.
"Thanks for helping." George said as he, Fred and Lee counted the money.
"No problem see you later." All four of them walked out of the shop and onto Diagon Alley. They ran into Angelina on the way out. She didn't notice them because she was walking into the joke shop looking deep in thought. They all stood at the window and watched. Angelina was talking to Fred. George and Lee were watching from the back. Angelina stopped talking and Fred looked at her. He then said words that they couldn't hear. She brought her lips to his while Ron, Hermione, Harry, and Ginny smiled at each other.
"About time that happened." Ginny said as they walked back up the street and went back to Hermione's.
"I'm hungry." Ron said as they arrived at Hermione's.
"When aren't you?" Harry, Hermione, and Ginny asked at the same time.
"What's for dinner?" Ron asked ignoring them.
"I'll find something to make." Hermione opened the fridge and started searching for food. "Actually let's just get pizza." Hermione took her keys from off of the counter and started out for the car. The others followed her out to the car and she started driving. Hermione realized that the music wasn't on so she turned up the volume. Beverly Hills came on again. Ron and Hermione started singing. Soon Ginny and Harry were singing as well. By the time they reached the pizza place the song ended and they were all laughing. They went into the pizza place and sat down at the booth. Hermione ordered the same kind of pizza that they normally get.
"So what's Fred going to do about that muggle he's been dating?" Ron asked.
"Oh, he broke up with her on the phone last night. Harry and I heard. He said he loved someone else and she yelled at him really loud. Swearing and screaming." Ginny said.
"Were you listening on the other phone?" Hermione asked.
"No." Ginny said guiltily. Hermione looked at her with her eyebrows raised. "Well maybe." Ginny said red in the face.
"What about George?" Ron asked.
"He just made another date." Harry said.
"Is he desperate or what?" Ron wondered as the pizza came. Everyone else shrugged. After they finished the pizza Hermione drove back to her house. Harry and Ginny got out.
"Ron do you want to go walk on the beach and see the sunset?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah." They told Harry and Ginny that they would be right back. Hermione drove to the beach and they got out of the car. They made it just in time. They laid back on the sand and watched all of the color fade from the sky. As the stars appeared in the sky Hermione sat up. Taking Ron's hand they started to walk along the beach. "So what do you think this years going to be like? You-Know-Who is dead for good, and nobody is talking to us."
"I think it will be great because I'm with you." She happily kissed him. He stopped and kissed her back. They fell back on the sand and she laughed. He looked at her and saw how beautiful she looked laughing. He smiled.
"I love you Hermione." He said.
"I love you too Ron." She leaned on him and kissed him. He felt a few drops of water on his head but ignored them assuming that they were from the waves, despite the fact that they were too far from the water to get wet by it. Soon the drops were more frequent and couldn't be ignored. She pulled away as the rain started to come down harder. "We better go." She said with a frown.
"Why?" He wondered.
"Because it's raining." She laughed.
"Let it rain." He whispered as he pulled her back to his face. She smiled. When they were completely drenched and freezing they went back to the car.
