Chapter 24- Make A Wish

A little later that evening Hermione, Ginny, Harry, and Ron went upstairs to get changed so they could go out to dinner. Hermione had told them that they would go to the same restaurant that they went to for Harry's birthday. Ginny and Hermione showered and got ready. Ginny forgot to leave an outfit out so she had to rummage in her trunk for it. Hermione wore a skirt and a pink top with sequins lining the top. She put on a white sweater because it would be cold in the restaurant and she helped Ginny pick out an outfit. Ginny was having trouble searching through all of her clothes for something to wear. After futile attempts to try and convince Ginny to wear an outfit she angrily chose the same outfit Ginny wore to dinner with Harry and put everything back in the trunk sealing it so it could only be opened with a wand. Ginny angrily got dressed and did her hair as Hermione went downstairs satisfied.

"You look –" Ron started when he saw Hermione but he didn't say amazing like he wanted to do because Mr. and Mrs. Granger were in the room. "Really nice." He finished.

"Yeah you look nice." Harry added to help Ron out.

"Thank you!" She said smiling. She took the seat in between them.

"Where's Ginny?" Harry asked.

"She was getting dressed when I left her. I actually had to use my wand to shut her trunk because she couldn't decide what to wear. So I chose an outfit for her and shut it." Hermione responded. Harry and Ron laughed along with Hermione.

"That's Ginny for you." Ron laughed. Ginny came down the stairs a few minutes later dressed and ready. Harry and Ron both complemented her.

"We'll be back later." Hermione told her parents.

"Just let us know when you're home." Mr. Granger said. They walked out to the car and started the drive. It took a shorter time than before because Hermione wasn't trying to kill time. They got in the restaurant and took seats at a circle table. They placed their orders and started talking.

"So do you think there would be anything we can do about the dormitory situation?" Ron asked.

"I swear! I am going to make you two read Hogwarts A History sometime this year!" Hermione said annoyed. "The dormitories are like that for a reason and will stay like that no matter what. Boys aren't aloud in the girl's dormitory but girls can go in the boy's dormitory. And no Ron I am not sleeping in there with you. I don't care if Harry or anyone cares or not. It would be uncomfortable to sleep with all of those other people there. We will wait until we get our own place to share a room again." Ron looked disappointed and Harry did too because he knew that if Hermione said no Ginny would as well. Ginny looked sympathetically at both of them.

"We should start looking in the Daily Prophet for a flat. It wouldn't hurt to keep an eye out for a nice flat ahead of time. We have enough gold to buy it and enough to keep some saved." Ginny said.

"Yeah that's true." Harry agreed.

"Does it matter where we get it?" Ron asked.

"Not really unless there is some specific place that you want to live because Ginny will be of age in May (A/N: I know Ginny's real birthday is August but I'm putting it in May for the sequel. Most of the last few chapters are to set up for the sequel:) When she learns she could Apparate as well." Hermione said.

"I don't mind as long as it's nice." Ginny said. The others agreed and their food came.

"Besides the sleeping arrangements, going back is going to be the best! It's our last year!" Ron said excitedly. Hermione picked up her glass.

"To our last year –s!" She said. Ginny scowled a little but hit her glass with the rest of them and drank. They finished eating and went to the car. "I say we go to the beach one last time." Hermione suggested. The others agreed and Hermione pulled up at the beach. They all left their shoes in the car and went in their separate directions. Hermione and Ron began to walk along the water in silence. The waves were crashing at their feet. Ron had to stop to roll the legs of his jeans up. Hermione took his hand and they continued along. She rested her head on his shoulder and could tell he was upset. "You know we don't have to go a whole year without sleeping in the same room. I'll make an exception on my birthday, your birthday, and we'll stay down in the common room on Ginny's birthday." Hermione said.

"Alright." Ron agreed a little more cheerful. Hermione suddenly stopped and pulled Ron down with her. He looked over at her looking for an explanation. She pointed to the sky.

"Look it's so beautiful." She was looking up at the stars. Ron never turned his gaze from her.

"Yeah it is." He agreed. She looked at him and smiled. "I meant to tell you that you look amazing tonight. You look amazing all of the time even when you don't try." He said. Hermione blushed and thanked him. She loved how he made her feel so special all of the time like she was the only girl in the world. In a way she kind of was. She was his and she knew it.

"I love you." She said.

"And I love you." He leaned forward to her and they laid back on the sand. Their lips moved together simultaneously. After a few minutes they stopped and he rolled off of her and onto the sand. They looked up at the sky.

"Look a shooting star!" Hermione exclaimed. "Make a wish!"

"What should I wish for?" Ron asked rolling on his side and looking at her. "I have all I want in the world right here." She laid on her side and looked at him too.

"You have to have something to wish for." She pointed out.

"What? I have the most wonderful girl right here with me, I have a really great best friend who's like a brother to me and I even have a really cool little sister. There is nothing else I need to make me happy." Ron replied with a smile. "What did you wish for?"

"I'm only answering because I don't want you to think that I don't feel the same way. It totally breaks the wishing rules but I wished for the house elve's freedom." Hermione responded with a pink tint to her cheeks that Ron could see greatly in the starlight. He chuckled slightly.

"That's one of the things I love about you. You never stop caring." Ron said. Hermione smiled and moved closer to him. Her head was now resting on his chest and his arms were wrapped around her. The silence wasn't silent. They could hear the night sounds all around them. They even heard footsteps approaching but instead of telling them they should get going, Harry and Ginny took seats next to them and Harry put his arms around Ginny.

"You're like a brother to me too Ron." Harry said. "Your whole family is like my family. And you two Hermione your like the sister I never had."

"I feel the same way." Hermione said. It was silent as all four of them looked up at the night sky.

"I like this." Ginny said. "The four of us just sitting here staring up at the sky because things are ok. We don't have any worries. We can just be us sitting here looking up at the sky. Nothing is wrong in our lives and I like it like that. I think this might be the best I've ever felt. Sitting here next to the person I love and my family." All of them agreed and sat in silence.

After a few minutes Hermione stood up and the other three looked at her. She tapped Harry on the back.

"Your it Harry!" She started to run in a different direction. Ron and Ginny hopped up as well and separated. Harry looked around at all three of them.

"Well then, brother dearest your first." Harry said sarcastically. Harry bolted after Ron and Ron started to run. Ron stumbled over sand and that slowed him down a bit so that Harry managed to tag him.

"I think I'll go after my really cool little sister because she's the slowest." Ron said as he started after Ginny. Ginny screamed and ran away. Ron caught up with her and tagged her.

"Hermione that leaves you!" Ginny shrugged as she started after Hermione. Hermione started running and didn't realize that Ginny doubled around in a circle so she tagged her. Hermione stood there thinking for a half a second.

"Well Ron your up." She said as if she had been deciding for that half a second. Ron started to run but Hermione was pretty fast. She tackled him to the ground. "Well Ron I do believe you're it."

"I do believe that I am and I could tag you if you don't get up." Ron said. Hermione leapt up and backed off. Ron turned to Harry. "Payback brother dearest." Ron said sarcastically to Harry. Harry started off in a run. Hermione and Ginny watched as Ron held his arm out and was about an inch away from tagging Harry. Ron tripped over something in the sand but went flying forward so he managed to tag Harry. Harry looked back at Ginny.

"Start running." He said to her. She started running and Harry waited a few seconds before running after her and tagging her. They both fell to the ground in laughter. Hermione and Ron went over and joined them. All four of them were lying in the sand staring up at the sky. "I like this too." Harry agreed. "Just the four of us."

"Me too." Hermione agreed.

"Yeah…" Ron trailed off. Nobody pushed him to say whatever else he was going to say because they understood that they all felt the same way that it was nice when the four of them were together. They laid in that sand for a half hour staring up at the sky in silence. There wasn't much to say but what wasn't said was enough. At twelve that night they drove back to Hermione's. They quietly walked back into the house and Hermione told her parents that they were home. All four of them quietly crept upstairs. Ginny and Harry said goodnight while Ron and Hermione said goodnight. Ron gave her one last parting, sad look before he walked into his room. When Hermione got into her room she growled and fell onto her bed.

"This is going to kill me for a whole year!" She complained and angrily hit her bed. "I wish there was something I could do about the dormitories." Ginny sat down on her own bed and rested her back against the wall.

"Yeah, I've been thinking about that too. Also how I'm going to be away from him for a whole year after that." Ginny said sullenly. Hermione sat up and walked over to Ginny's bed. She took the seat next to her and rested her back against the wall as well.

"We have to try and make this the best year. It's our last year at Hogwarts together and it's got to be the best." Hermione assured her. Ginny smiled at her and agreed with a nod.

"Yeah we do." She responded. The two of them changed and got in bed. Hermione tossed and turned with the uncomfortable ness of Ron not being there. She heard Ginny as well until they fell asleep finally at around three in the morning. When Hermione and Ginny went down to the next morning tiredly, around eight, they found Harry and Ron already down there with Hermione's parents drinking coffee.

"How'd you sleep?" Ron asked as he yawned. He looked tired as well.

"Horrible." She responded. "You?" She didn't need to ask though. She could see it in his face.

"Same." Ron responded. Hermione took the seat next to Ron and he took her in a hug and kissed her on the top of her head. She smiled but it turned into a yawn. Harry kissed Ginny's cheek good morning. She responded with a smile instead of in the usual cranky manner. Hermione figured it was because she missed him last night.

"Tonight if you get to sleep earlier you won't be so tired." Mr. Granger assured them. Hermione nodded at her father although what he said wasn't true.

"So what did you four do out so late last night?" Mrs. Granger asked.

"We went to the beach." Hermione told her mother. "We were looking up at the stars and we even saw a shooting one. Oh and we played tag too."

"Sounds like fun." Mrs. Granger said with a smile.

"It was." Ron assured her. After breakfast they were too tired to get dressed just yet so they went into the living room to watch TV. Hermione took her usual position of resting in Ron's arms. She didn't mind if her parents saw this because it was nothing bad. Hermione looked over at Ginny and Harry. Ginny was asleep in Harry's arms and Harry kept nodding off. Mr. and Mrs. Granger came back into the living room dressed.

"We're going to the grocery store to get stuff for dinner tomorrow night." Mrs. Granger said.

"You four should get some rest or something. You all look tired. I don't think you should have stayed out so late." Mr. Granger said.

"Yes." Hermione yawned. Her parents left and they were left alone again. Hermione looked up at Ron's tired face smiling down at her. She leaned back against him and fell asleep right there. Ron watched Hermione for a few minutes before he fell asleep himself. They were awoken by Mr. and Mrs. Granger a few hours later.

"Dinner is ready!" Mrs. Granger said. Hermione sat up tiredly and looked at her mother.

"Dinner?" Hermione asked.

"Yes dear, it's already five thirty. You four have been asleep for a while. Tonight I want you all to stay in and get some sleep." She replied. Harry, Ginny, and Ron groggily sat up as well and followed Hermione into the kitchen.

"Ah, they're finally up!" Mr. Granger said. They nodded and ate dinner quietly. All of them were still tired but Hermione wanted to go back to sleep in the same position. She was debating on risking sleeping with Ron again or trying to wait it out because they wouldn't be able to do that at Hogwarts. By the time dinner ended she didn't have to decide anymore.

"I want you four to go up to sleep now so you can get some rest before school starts." Mrs. Granger said strictly. They said goodnight and walked up the stairs. At the top they parted with a hug and tiredly walked into their own rooms. No matter what Hermione did she could not get as warm as she was when Ron was holding her. She heard her mother or father come in and check on them and then into the other room some hours later but she couldn't sleep. She watched the clock tick by and finally when it was one thirty she couldn't stand it anymore she stood up from her bed. Ginny looked at her.

"Where are you going?" Ginny asked.

"I'll send Harry in. I can't stand it anymore." Hermione replied. She quietly walked into Ron and Harry's room and saw them playing a game of chess on the floor. Ron's back was to the door so Harry noticed her first.

"Hi!" Harry exclaimed. Ron turned to look at her she smiled innocently.

"I see I'm not the only one who couldn't sleep." She said.

"Is Ginny sleeping?" Harry asked before Ron could respond.

"No she's right here." Ginny said as she came through the door and laid on the floor next to Harry. Hermione laid on her stomach next to Ron. Harry and Ron continued their chess game. Hermione realized she wasn't tired because she had slept all day but she did realize that she missed being near Ron.

"Do you think it's weird or bad that we can't sleep without being next to each other?" Hermione asked.

"No." Ron and Harry said together.

"What is it then?" Ginny asked.

"Love." Harry answered.

"But what about when we go back to school? I'd love to do something about the dorms but we can't and it'd be wrong to sleep in the same room like that." Hermione complained.

"We'll have homework and everything so we'll be busy with that and then we'll just have to make up for it during the day." Ron said.

"We can't sleep during class!" Hermione exclaimed.

"No I mean more snogging." Ron said with a smile. He expected Hermione to turn the idea down or to tell him off but she didn't she just smiled.

"If it works." She responded. They continued to play chess and as usual Ron won. Hermione and Ginny fell asleep next to them before it was over. Ron and Harry didn't move they stayed on the floor next to them and went to sleep as well.
