A/N: OMG I'm so so so sorry that I haven't updated in ages! I bet some of you thought I'd just dumped this fic, which I thought of doing. But then that would be stupid, leaving it hanging there. So I've decided to continue on, make the last chapters better and correct myself when I type your'r, thanks to my lovely reviewers I've now learnt that is completely incorrect. Oh and Fred and George are included in this and further chapters. Just to let everyone know I mentioned them briefly in the last chapter just so you know they're here.

Chapter 7: An awkward morning and an unexpected person.
The next morning when Hermione woke her mind was racing; over her shoulder Ginny was visible, still asleep. Hermione looked back on the events of yesterday, it seemed like a blur. It was so rushed, so stressful, yet so wonderful. She smiled at herself and decided to get ready. She changed into denim three quarters and a red singlet top; it was predicted to be a hot day. She was just about to go downstairs when someone tapped her on the back.
"Ginny?" Hermione said a bit surprised turning around. "You were asleep."
"Yeah, I was," she rolled her eyes. "A lot of people were until you and a certain brother of mine woke everyone up last night."
"Everyone?" Hermione croaked.
"Well, Harry, Fred, George and I."
"Them?" she gasped. "They'll so laugh!"
Ginny snorted.
"Duh, Fred and George will never let you forget it."
She shrugged and headed for the kitchen.
"But what do you expect from them?" Ginny giggled.
"I expect adult behavior," Hermione gaped. "Take the situation seriously!"
Ginny stopped halfway down the stairs, at first Hermione thought she was listening to her until she noticed Ginny was actually staring down at Mr Harry James Potter! Hermione sighed, now Ginny was locked into 'Harry mode' there was no point in talking to her. Hermione noticed Ron and Harry were sitting on one side of the table and Fred, George and their parents were sitting on the opposite side. Hesitantly Hermione sat down next to Ron. Everyone was quiet for the first five minutes eating their breakfast until Mr Weasley spoke.
"So did you have a good sleep everyone?"
The sudden speech diverted everyone's attention from Ginny who was still… staring. Mr Weasley heard no response and repeated again.
"Did everyone have a good sleep?"
Fred and George sniggered and Ginny woke from her trance seating herself next to Harry.
"Ugh…yes we did," Hermione forced herself to say.
Fred and George continued to laugh.
"What's going on?" Mrs Weasley demanded.
"Nothing," Ron said, ears burning. Hermione stared at her plate moving pieces of bacon with her fork. There were a few moments of silence as they ate, but because Fred and George can't remain quiet for that long they started to talk again.
"Any plans for today?" Fred asked.
"How about quidditch?" George asked. "I noticed a certain broom out there last night."
"I'm sure it was just a figure of your imagination." Hermione said a little too quickly.
Ron's ears went red yet again.
"Ron are you okay?" Mrs Weasley asked. "Your ears are awfully pink."
Ginny almost choked on her breakfast. Harry dropped his knife and fork and laughed.
"What's going on?" Mrs Weasley asked again.
"As we've told you," Hermione started. "As we've told you, nothing. Ron's just a bit flustered maybe it's the weather. It heats up very quickly in summer."
"I remain unconvinced," Mr Weasley said. "But maybe I'm not supposed to know."
Everyone shut up, this time even Fred and George. The twins quickly ate and were leaving the table.
"Where are you off to?" Mrs Weasley asked.
"Off to meet Angelina and Kate," George said.
Ron glared at him.
"Is this a date?" he asked.
"Yeah, it is," Fred said casually. "It's not like you're the only one with a romantic life."
With that the twins apparated. Mr Weasley smiled and finished his food while Mrs Weasley stared at Ron.
"What?" Ron asked, standing up. He put his plate away and went to walk up the stairs, closely followed by Hermione, Ginny and Harry.
"Oh, nothing," Mrs Weasley replied. "I just thought because you are so 'flustered' you guys should go for a swim."
Ron raised his eyebrows.
"Maybe that's a good idea," he said.
As they went to Ginny's room Ron put his arm around Hermione.
"Is it okay with you?" he asked.
"What?" Hermione asked although she knew what he was going to say.
"Now that everyone knows we are together," he said.
She smiled at him.
"Of course it is.

Everyone was in their swimsuits ready to go. They had decided to go to Point Beach. (A/N: That was some name I made up, so don't think it's actually there.) Hermione, Ginny, Harry and Ron apparated to the beach. It was so amazing. The soft sand and the crystal blue water was so pretty. Hermione would have jumped in at that very moment if it something hadn't had caught her eye. Only a few meters away was a girl of their age, soaking in the sun, getting a wonderful tan. A big snob of a cow smiling straight at Ron was no other then Lavender Brown!
A/N: Aha some sort of a cliffy. Don't forget; in the sun protect yourself from skin cancer and sunburn, ouch! Because it's nasty stuff, seriously. And I know Ginny locked in 'Harry mode' for ten minutes sounds a bit strange but I had to put it in.
I'll try updating soon, I've got the next three chapters done so I'll post then in the near future, Okies, please review. (That mouse should be clicking the 'go' button right…now!)
