Chapter 23- Tease
When Ron awoke the next morning he wrapped his arms tighter around Hermione.
"Morning." She whispered to him.
"Morning." Ron responded. "Sleep good?"
"Yeah you?"
"Yeah I did. You know what they should do? They should let the Head Boy and Girl have their own room and stuff like that. I don't know if I'm going to be able to go a whole year without sleeping with you."
"I know what you mean. But there's nothing we can do." Hermione sighed and the phone rang from downstairs. "I wonder who that could be. My parents won't be home until tomorrow." Hermione stood up and hurried down the stairs. Ron sighed and got up himself. He followed Hermione down the stairs. He was on the stairs when he heard her.
"You're taking an earlier flight?" Hermione asked the phone. "Three hours?" she asked sounding surprised. "No I just wasn't expecting you till tomorrow. Yeah were all good here. We just went into the city, we went to the lake, the beach, and we stayed here and swam most of the time. – Mum! But how did you know? – You're ok with it right? – Good and you'll tell dad? – Please mum. – Thank you. I'll see you in a few hours. – Love you too – I will. Bye mum." Hermione hung up the phone. Ron walked all of the way down the stairs.
"So your mum knows?" Ron asked.
"Yes. She said that she saw the way we looked at each other and knew it. She's going to tell my dad." Hermione replied.
"Should I be worried?" Ron asked.
"Oh yeah!" Hermione said. Ron looked alarmed. "I'm just kidding! No he already thinks you're a nice guy and he'll love you because I do." She smiled and gave him a small kiss.
"So they'll be here in three hours?"
"Oh damn! I forgot! Come on we have to get Harry and Ginny up so we can clean." Hermione and Ron rushed upstairs and got Harry and Ginny up. They all rushed around and cleaned the house as much as possible using magic. Ginny helped by doing things by hand as much as she could. By the time the house was clean they still had two hours left. Hermione threw on jeans and a shirt. She pulled her hair into a ponytail and made sure that all the marks on her neck were gone. Her and Ginny started gathering their stuff together and putting it in their trunks. Hermione had to put an enlargement charm on Ginny's trunk so that all of her new clothes and books could fit in there. Hermione placed the teddy bear Ron gave her next the beach pictures and her Head Girl badge. Now all she had to do was go and get the few things she left in Ron's room whenever she had stayed in there over the past few weeks. She went into the hallway and passed Harry doing the same thing.
"Hi!" Harry said.
"Hey! Got all of your stuff?" Hermione asked.
"Almost. I left a few things in the other room." Harry answered.
"Yeah me too."
"It's going to be weird going back for our last year. I'm not going to be sharing a room with Ginny anymore and no more watching TV with Ron and I'll have to eat the school food instead of yours."
"Yeah it'll be weird. I'm going to miss making breakfast for you and waking up with Ron and talking with Ginny while you two watched TV."
"Yeah. But it'll be cool when we have our own place and everything. It'll be great and we have to make this the best year because it is our last year." Harry said.
"Yes that's true. We'll make this our best year." Hermione agreed. They both went into the rooms to get their stuff. Ron was just doing one last wave of his wand and all of his stuff was put into his trunk. On top he laid the beach pictures down next to his Head Boy badge. Hermione noticed a pile of stuff on Ron's bed that belonged to her. It was a sweatshirt, a couple of books, and a few other things she had left while she was staying in here.
"Hi!" She said to Ron.
"Hi!" Ron exclaimed as he shut his trunk. "All of your stuffs on the bed."
"Who said I came here for my stuff? Maybe I came here for you." She moved closer to him.
"Oh you did, did you?" Ron asked moving closer as well their faces finally met.
"We're home!" Hermione's father yelled from downstairs. Hermione and Ron separated quickly. They walked into the hallway and met Harry and Ginny there as well. All of them walked into the living room to meet Mr. and Mrs. Granger. Mr. and Mrs. Granger were placing their suitcases on the floor in the living room.
"Hi mum! Hi dad!" Hermione exclaimed giving her parents a hug and they congratulated her on getting Head Girl. "You know Harry, Ginny, and…Ron." Hermione's parents went over and shook their hands. Mr. Granger stopped at Ron. Ron looked a little nervous.
"So your Ron?" He asked.
"Yes sir." Ron responded.
"Do you play any sports?"
"I play Quidditch."
"Do you get decent grades in school?"
"Yes I get...uh...decent grades in school."
"Are you a trustworthy person?"
"Hermione says she would trust me with her life." Ron shrugged. Harry, Ginny, Hermione, and Mrs. Granger were all watching intently.
"Do you love my daughter?" Mr. Granger asked his final question.
"Yes I love Hermione very much." Ron responded. Mr. Granger smiled.
"Well than you have permission to date my daughter." Ron breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you sir." Ron said as he shook Mr. Granger's hand again.
"Anytime." Mr. Granger responded. Hermione beamed.
"We have to go finish packing." Hermione told her parents. "But when we're done we can tell you all about our summer and you can tell us about our's."
"Alright we have to unpack as well." Mrs. Granger said. They took their suitcases and went into their room that was in a door right off of the living room. Hermione, Ron, Harry, and Ginny went back upstairs and into the same rooms they were in.
"So where were we?" Hermione asked as she put her arms around Ron's neck.
"Are you sure we should do this now?" Ron asked taking quick looks at the door. He had just earned Mr. Grangers trust and didn't want to loose it.
"They're downstairs." Hermione said. Ron still backed off.
"Are we still going out tonight?" Ron asked. Hermione nodded. "Later then ok?"
"Alright." Hermione sighed. Ron gave her a quick kiss before turning back to his stuff.
"I think I've got everything." Ron said looking around the room. "Yup I've got everything." Hermione grabbed her stuff off of Ron's bed and started to her room with Ron following. Ron laid down on Hermione's bed as she gathered her stuff. Harry was trying to close Ginny's trunk because even with the enlargement charm it was still packed. Ron was watching Hermione pack her trunk. She noticed he was watching and made it a point to sway her hips whenever she walked around her room to get something. Ron was watching in enjoyment. He knew she was doing it on purpose. Ginny was now sitting on her trunk and Harry was trying to close the locks but it just wouldn't reach. Ron wasn't paying attention to them, he was watching Hermione as she leaned over Ron to get something off of her nightstand that she didn't even need. He couldn't hold himself back from grabbing her shoulders and kissing her. He resisted the urge to do more because Harry and Ginny were in the room. After a minute he pulled away, she leaned over him once more.
"I knew you couldn't resist me." Hermione whispered to him as she backed away with a smirk on her face. She continued her routine of bustling around moving her hips more than normal. Harry and Ginny didn't even seem to notice they were still trying to shut the trunk. Harry had his wand out to try and shut it. After the third failed attempt he opened the trunk and looked to Ginny.
"Take out whatever you don't need." He said to Ginny. Hermione and Ron stopped watching each other and looked at Harry and Ginny.
"But I need everything!" Ginny protested.
"Take something out or it won't close." Harry said. Ginny looked alarmed.
"But how and I supposed to decide?" Ginny asked.
"Gin, take a few things out and I'll put them in my trunk." Harry said. "I still have room because I didn't buy everything I saw!"
"What are you saying Harry?" Ginny retorted angrily.
"You bought about three bloody stores out! What do you think I'm saying?" Harry responded. Ginny looked shocked. "Just take a few things out and I'll hold them in my trunk." Harry said in a calmer voice. Ginny reluctantly nodded and started rummaging through her stuff. Ron and Hermione were happy that it didn't get any more out of hand. Ginny went through and took out a stack of clothes and a few books out. She placed them on her bed and they tried to close it again. In the end Ginny had to take two piles of clothes and five books out before it would just barley shut. Harry took her stuff and walked back in to his room muttering things. Ginny fell back on her bed exhausted and Hermione stopped walking around unnecessarily to Ron's disappointment. He groaned but Hermione just winked and shut her trunk. It just barley closed with all of the books. Ron got up and went back into his room leaving Hermione smiling after him. Ginny looked at Hermione and smiled at her.
"What?" Hermione asked trying to stop smiling.
"Oh I saw that whole thing!" Ginny exclaimed. "What was that about?"
"He didn't want to kiss me because my parents are here so I was having a little fun." Hermione said innocently. Ginny laughed.
"I do that to Harry all of the time!" She responded.
"When?" Hermione asked. "I never see it."
"It's because you're too busy staring at my brother." Ginny answered. Both girls busted out laughing.
Ron walked into his room and slumped onto his bed.
"What's a matter? Did she stop?" Harry asked as he closed his trunk.
"Yeah. Man it's going to suck. Last night was our last night together for a whole year." Ron complained. "Wait...how did you know? I didn't think you were paying attention."
"Oh I was. Ginny teases me like that all of the time." Harry laughed. "But I know what you mean. It's going to suck not sharing a bed let alone a room. But you know Mogonagall she would flip if that happened but I reckon that people aren't going to be spending a lot of time up there. Dean's got Parvati and Seamus has Lavender. Even Neville has Loony."
"Yeah that's true. I still can't believe it Neville and Luna." Ron laughed. "I wonder if he's only dating her because she's a good kisser or something because it can't be for her sanity." Ron said as Harry laughed.
"Yeah that's true." He agreed. "She's not bad looking but she isn't good looking either." Harry pointed out. "I wonder what he sees in her." They both sat there thinking about for a minute and then shrugged.
"Probably something no one else sees because I would never imagine her with anyone else." Ron said.
"Yeah. I guess they do go good together. He's a klutz and she's just Loony." Harry said. Both of them laughed and Harry picked three books off of the floor. "Are these Hermione's?" Harry asked holding out the books. Ron looked at the titles.
"Well they're not mine and I'm pretty sure they're not Ginny's or yours. So yeah I'll bet they're Hermione's. I'll stick them in my trunk because she doesn't have anymore room." Ron took the books and put them in his own trunk. Ron and Harry laid back on their own beds and looked up the ceiling.
"Who do you think Neville likes better Parvati or Luna?" Harry asked with a laugh. Ron sniggered at the question.
"I dunno. Parvati is better looking then Luna but I'm sure as hell that she isn't any smarted just saner. I dunno. Probably Luna for the reason we don't know." Ron answered.
"Yeah that's true. At Lavender's party he was just as red as Parvati." Harry pointed out.
"I say they had too much to drink and didn't do it on purpose. I heard some people had Firewhiskey at the ball." Ron said as Harry laughed. Ron sniggered too at the thought of it. They both had to sit up from laughing too hard. Hermione and Ginny came in the room.
"What are you two laughing at?" Ginny asked and looked at them. They shook their heads and laughed harder. Hermione and Ginny exchanged quizzical looks and then shrugged.
"We'll be downstairs when you two get yourselves under control." Hermione said. Her and Ginny walked out the door and downstairs.
"Sometimes I don't understand them." Ginny said.
"Yeah me neither. But that's them for you." Hermione said. Ginny nodded as they reached the bottom stair and saw Hermione's mother in the kitchen making tea.
"Would you like some tea girls?" Mrs. Granger asked.
"Yes please."
"Sure mum." Hermione and Ginny sat down at the table.
"It's still bothering me. I want to know what they were talking about." Ginny pouted as Mrs. Granger put a cup of tea in front of her.
"Me too." Hermione agreed as she took her own tea from her mother.
"That's men for you. Try asking them when they aren't expecting it and they'll tell you." Hermione's mother said with a smile. Hermione and Ginny smiled too. Ron and Harry came down the stairs talking but stopped talking.
"Hey Harry what were you laughing at before?" Ginny asked sweetly. Harry looked reluctant to answer. Hermione and Ginny figured he heard the end of their conversation but he seemed to be trying to resist Ginny's smile.
"We were talking about Parvati and Neville at the ball. Ron reckoned that they were a little tipsy and didn't do it on purpose." Harry answered. Hermione and Ginny laughed. Mrs. Granger smiled.
"I see you've found that a smile always works too." Mrs. Granger laughed. Ginny nodded.
"Were you talking about us?" Ron asked.
"Get used to it." Mr. Granger said walking into the room. "That's women for you." Harry and Ron laughed in agreement. Hermione scowled and looked at Ron.
"Remember what I said about being forgiven Ron?" Hermione said slyly. Ron stopped laughing immediately. Harry was still sniggering.
"Oh shut it Harry. I'm still mad at you over the whole clothes comment you made." Ginny said angrily. Harry stopped laughing.
"But it's true! Your trunk wouldn't close because you had too much clothes in there! I have about one third of your wardrobe in my trunk because it wouldn't fit in yours!" Harry responded just as angrily. Ron saw the shocked looks on Mr. and Mrs. Granger's faces.
"You'll get used to it." He told them. Harry and Ginny ignored that and continued forgetting that there were adults in the room.
"So what?" Ginny asked.
"So nothing! You're making this a big deal! I don't care! I offered to put them in my trunk and it's over. You have a lot of clothes big deal! Let's just drop this!" Harry said. Ginny looked reluctant but nodded.
"Fine." She said. Hermione looked at her parents.
"They do that a lot?" Mrs. Granger asked.
"Oh yeah!" Ron and Hermione said together.
"They row more than we do." Ron said pointing to Hermione and himself.
"Well than we do now. I don't think anyone rows more than we did. I'd bet we hold a record for that." Hermione said. They both laughed.
"I like it better this way. I got sick of you two fighting." Harry said.
"Yeah me too!" Ginny agreed.
"I agree!" Hermione said.
"I think we all agree!" Ron said. Mr. and Mrs. Granger looked at each other laughing.
"So do you four have anything planned for tonight?" Mr. Granger asked.
"Yeah. We were going to go out to dinner tonight to celebrate and everything." Hermione said.
"Ron are your parents coming to pick you four up the day after tomorrow?" Mrs. Granger asked.
"Yes." Ron answered.
"I think I'll invite them for dinner and we can have our own little celebration dinner." She responded.
"I apologize in advance for any stupid questions my father asks you." Ron said.
"Yeah." Ginny agreed. "He is just so fascinated with muggle things."
"It's alright. I don't mind explaining about airplanes they are quite fascinating." Mr. Granger said. Ron looked at Hermione and remembered something.
"Oh Hermione, I forgot to tell you that I found some books you left in –left out so I put them in my trunk because I didn't think you had anymore room." Ron said.
"Thanks." Hermione said blushing from the fact that Ron almost revealed the fact that they had slept in the same room for practically the past month. "I don't have anymore room. I could just barley fit in all of my books and clothes." Hermione looked to her parents to see if they caught Ron's mistake. They didn't seem to notice. She breathed a sigh of relief and they all sat down at the table to discuss their summers. The four of them only retold the parts that they thought were suitable for Hermione's parents to hear.
