"So what happened Harry?" Ron asked, sitting down with his slice of pizza.
"Well, before Hermione and I can get married, we gotta get the Dursleys approval," Harry said grimly, poking at his slice.
"Wow. Good luck with that mate. How exactly will you ask them?"
"We've gotta stay at their house over the summer."
Ron choked on his mouthful of pizza. "What! You're kidding!"
"Nope, seriously. Bet this is the first time you're glad you're not me."
"Yeah, I'm so glad I'm not you!"
"Thanks, that makes me feel a whole lot better," Harry said sarcastically.
"Well, sorry, but I don't—"
"Hey there you two!" Hermione called out as she approached Harry and Ron's table.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Harry asked, pretending to be surprised. She winked at him as she sat down and Harry smiled. "Ron, wait here a sec, I'm getting Hermione's order with her." Ron nodded, and they stood up and walked toward the counter.
"So where is Ariel?" Harry asked in a low voice.
"She'll be here soon. I told her to come a little later so Ron will be even more shocked when he sees her," Hermione said.
"Very clever indeed, Miss Granger." Harry smirked. "I can't wait to see the expression on Ron's face."
Hermione smiled back and ordered a slice of pizza, and she and Harry headed back to their table.
"Hi Hermione!" A cheerful voice called out. All 3 of them turned around, and Hermione beckoned to Ariel to join them. Ariel had long blond hair that fell just past her shoulders, and her eyes were pale blue, so pale that they almost looked gray at times. She was at least half a head taller than Hermione, about Harry's height.
"Hey there Ariel. This is Harry here," Hermione said, gesturing to Harry. "And this is Ronald, or Ron for short."
"Hi, we've never met before right?" Harry said, shaking her hand.
"Nope, but congrats on getting engaged to Hermione. It's all she ever talks about these days," Ariel said, and Hermione blushed.
"So you're Ron huh? I've heard about you from Hermione," she said, extending her hand out to shake Ron's, but Ron just stood there with his mouth hanging open slightly. Harry nudged him, and he seemed to come back to his senses, and he reached out and shook it.
Ariel went up and got herself some pizza, and she came back and sat down next to Hermione. Both Harry and Hermione noticed that Ron couldn't take his eyes off Ariel; he had even stopped eating just to stare at her.
"Hey Ron. Ron!" Harry waved his hand in front of Ron's eyes, and Ron snapped out of his trance.
"Wow, the great Ron, who still has half a pizza left in front of him, actually stopped eating for a moment there," Hermione said, and Ron's face turned scarlet. As if to prove her wrong, he took a huge bite out of his pizza, and finished the rest of it in less than a minute. Ariel looked at him strangely, her eyebrows raised.
When they had all finished eating, they left the pizzeria and walked across the street into the park.
"Whew, it feels more like July or August instead of June in this weather!" Ariel said, fanning her face with her hand.
Suddenly, Harry checked his watch and said, "Hermione, we've got to go pick up your niece from school don't we?"
"Oh yeah! I almost forgot," Hermione exclaimed. "Sorry, it's just that my cousin was busy today, so she asked us to go pick up her niece from school," she explained to Ron and Ariel, and before they could even blink, Harry and Hermione dashed across the street and out of sight.
Once they were sure Ron and Ariel couldn't see them anymore, they slowed down to a walking pace.
"Do you think it was a good idea leaving those two alone?" Harry asked.
"Hm, I don't know, but at least it'll give them a chance to talk or something. Maybe Ron will even ask her out, but I wouldn't count on it, at least not yet." Hermione shrugged, and they continued walking towards the school.
Meanwhile, Ron stood there, not knowing what to say to Ariel.
"So do you play Quidditch too, like Harry?" Ariel asked.
"What? Oh yeah, I'm their team Captain," Ron replied.
Ariel looked impressed. "That's really cool. I always wanted to be a Quidditch Captain, but I was never picked."
"Oh really? Did you go to Hogwarts?"
"No, I wish. I went to an all-girls wizarding school," Ariel replied, rolling her eyes. "It was so weird there. By the way, do you want to get some ice cream? It'd be good to have some in this kind of weather."
"Sure," Ron said happily, extremely glad that he was actually able to have a conversation with Ariel without blushing or blabbing. They went into the nearest café and continued their conversation in there.
A/N: Another short chapter, I know, and I'm sorry, but I want each chapter to focus on just one topic. And I know this chapter didn't mention much about the Dursleys, but the next chapter will, I promise! Also, in your review, please tell me if you would rather have me update daily with shorter chapters(like what I'm doing so far), or would you rather have me update once every few days or weeks, but with longer chapters. Please include which one you prefer in your review, and I'll tell you what I decide to do in the next chapter! Thanks!
