rupertsgirlie: No it certainly isn't a question you should ask and it did deserve a slap! Thats kind of why I put it in! Ha ha ha! I hope you enjoy this chapter just as much!

"Well I think that's everything I'll need to make dinner!" Emma said as she went to pick up the bags.

"Here let me carry those." Harry said bending down and picking them up.

"Oh thanks! But you really don't need to do that." Emma said taken aback by Harry's chivalry.

They walked back in silence for a bit. Then it started to rain.

"Oh!" Emma said giggling as they popped under a store cover, "I love the rain!"

"Really?" Harry said laughing while he shook his hair out of his face.

"Yah! It's like it's cleansing you of all your impurities! And it's loving arms clingy to you and holding you tightly!" Emma said as she stepped out into the rain again and began to dance.

He stood and watched her in amazement as she twirled round and round getting soaked. All he could do was stare and smile. She was laughing and it filled the air with joy. Then he ran out and joined her.

"Alright if your not going to stay out of the rain I might as well join you!" Harry said laughing.

"Ha ha ha! Come on you have to admit this is fun!" Emma said laughing.

"Yah it is but your going to catch a cold if we don't start back soon."

"Alright, alright!" She said laughing as she started back towards the apartment, her thoughts drifted back to Hermione and Ron and wondered what they were doing.

"Hey Harry. Is Ron um… well is he gay?" She asked out of nowhere.

"What!" Harry said taken aback, "What… wait Ron gay NO! No! He's not gay! Where did you come up with that?"

"Well I was just wondering because I mean, if he's not gay how come he hasn't ask Hermione out! It's quite obvious that they have something for each other. And if he's not gay then why hasn't he?"

"How did you… is it that obvious?" Harry asked confused as to how she could have picked up on that after meeting Ron for only a few hours.

"Well he did break down a door just because he thought another guy was in there with Hermione!" Emma said laughing.

"Yah… well he's not the most subtle person in the world." Harry said scratching his head with his free hand.

"No… he's not."

"Well no he's not gay. He's just too shy to tell Hermione how he really feels because he's afraid she'll turn him down for Viktor Krum. But why did you ask me?"

"Well I couldn't ask Hermione! Besides who would know better about someone than their best friend."

"True. Wait! … You don't think I'm gay do you?" Harry asked worried.

"Oh no! No! Of course not!" Emma said looking surprised and seriously at him.

"Ok because well… I'm not." Harry said.

"Ha ha ha! Ok I believe you! I was just curious about this Ron and Hermione thing! Oh here we are!" Emma said as they approached her apartment building.

Harry was extremely flustered. He defiantly didn't want Emma to think he was gay. Not that there was anything wrong with being gay but he wasn't so he didn't want people to think he was.

"RONALD WEASLEY HOW DARE YOU ASK ME SUCH A QUESTION! YOU'RE SUCH A PIG!" Hermione yelled at him as he rubbed his check where she had slapped him.

Hermione walked indignantly way from him and sat down on the couch crossing her arms.

"Hermione… I'm sorry I was just curious! I didn't mean to offend you!" Ron said coming to sit down beside her.

"What do you take me for Ronald!" Hermione said angrily.

"Hermione please I'm sorry! I … I just wanted to know if you two were really serious and if you still are… I didn't mean it like that."

"Ronald! HONESTLY! How could you even think such a thing! Viktor and I are just friends and nothing more! Besides he's already engaged to someone else! And you'd know that if you read the paper once in a while!" Hermione said glaring at him.

"Oh…" Was all Ron got a chance to say for at that moment Harry and Emma came back in.

"Hey!" Emma said opening the door.

"Hi! OH MY GOSH! Emma you're SOAKED! HARRY! Why didn't you keep her out of the rain! She'll have caught a fever by now!" Hermione said rushing over to the two wet young adults standing in the doorway.

"Ha ha ha! It's ok Hermione! I was the one who dragged Harry into the water! Besides I'm fine! I'll just go get changed. Oh dear… I don't have any clothes for you to change into Harry. Hmmm…"

"I know a drying spell!" Hermione said matter-a-factually, "I'll dry Harry off while you get changed."

"Of course you'd know a spell to dry someone!" Emma said laughing, "You always did have an answer everything!"

"Hey! I seem to remember you were the one who turned me on to reading!" Hermione said giving Emma a little nudge towards her bedroom.

"You were bound to find out how brilliant you are sooner or later!" Emma said laughing as she walked away smiling warmly at Harry.

He smiled back at her felling warmer already just from her smile. He couldn't help look at her as she turned away. Her t-shirt clung tightly to her torso that revealed her strong shoulders and her impossibly tiny waist. Her skirt also clung to her so that it showed of her very small but perfectly toned ass and her thin and muscular thighs.

"Harry…?" Hermione called sweetly.

"Hmm? What?"

"Do you want to get dried off or not?" Hermione said laughing slightly.

"Oh! Yah! That would be nice." Harry said laughing.

Once the two shoppers were dried off Emma and Hermione started cooking dinner while Harry showed Ron what basketball was on Emma's television.

"So? Anything interesting happen while I was away?" Emma asked. She had noticed the red mark on Ron's face but decided it was better not to mention it.

"What! Oh honestly Emma! There's nothing between either Harry and I or Ron and I! We're just friends!"

"Oh right. Sorry I forgot!" Emma said with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

"How'd the shopping go?" Hermione asked trying to change the subject.

"Quite well gathering we go dinner!" Emma said giggling.

"So you and Harry get along ok?"

"Yah. He's really nice. Although I feel sorry for him because of his past but he seems like he'd really matured."

"Yah he really has. There was a time when all he wanted was revenge and to kill Voldemort to revenge his parents but now he wants to rid the world of all the evil he's created."

"Yah I gathered that. So I bet he's a really great Auror?"

"Oh yah one of the best! He's really protective of the people he cares about. Like last month he helped me place a unmapable spell on my house so no one could find it."

"That's sweet." Emma said thinking to herself how nice it would be to have someone care for her that much.

"Well it seems like dinners almost ready." Hermione said looking at the chicken.

"So what happened to your face?" Harry asked with a cocky smile on his face.

"Oh… um… nothing." Ron said his ears turning a very unmistakeable red.

"It sure doesn't look like nothing. It looks like you were slapped. What did you say?" Harry said leaning forward slightly.

"Is it that obvious? I… well I kind of asked Hermione how far her and Viktor had went." Ron asked brushing his hand over the slap mark.

"Oh Ron! You idiot! Why would you do that?"

"I was curious… that's all." Ron said, "So how was it with Emma?"

"It was um nice. She's really nice…" Harry said trying not to blush. He felt like he was 15 again and crushing on Cho.

"You like her!" Ron whispered excitedly.

"No I don't! I barely know her Ron! God you're a complete moron."

"Ok! Dinner's ready you two!" Emma called from the table.

The four of them sat around the table and enjoyed the lovely meal together.

"So Emma you haven't exactly told me what you do? Or why you moved back here?" Hermione said striking up a conversation.

"Oh well I work for the Ministry and they transferred me here because there was an opening."

"What exactly do you do?" Ron asked.

"Oh just a little of this a little of that!" Emma said smiling secretively, "Don't you find it weird how most of our parents were already married at our age?"

"Ha ha ha yah! Well not mine!" Hermione said laughing.

"I guess we marry younger!" Ron said think about how young his parents had married.

"Yah its weird though." Harry said.

"So do you have anyone special back in France?" Ron asked nonchalantly and was pleased to see Harry shoot him a frustrated look that was laced with a tint of interest.

"Ha ha ha! Me? No, there's no one special." Emma said laughing.

"Oh come on! I bet there was someone at Beauxbatons that you were with!" Hermione said being very sceptical.

"No. I've never dated anyone. Especially not at Beauxbatons! You're forgetting that the Delacour sisters went to my school. Any boy who didn't like them was crazy! You saw Fleur!"

"What, her? She wasn't that pretty." Ron said lying.

"Oh please! You asked her to the Yule Ball!" Hermione said glaring at him.

"Well sorry! It's not like I went with Viktor Krum!" Ron said returning the glare.

"They always fight like this." Harry whispered to Emma as the two's argument raged.

"Ha ha ha. So did you ask Fleur to the Ball too?"

"No. She didn't really affect me the way she did with other boys." Harry said smiling slightly.

"Really? Well you're probably the only one!"

"You can't honestly sit there and tell me that you never had a date all through school!"

"Um… nope I can ha ha! What about you?"

"Not really just going with friends."
