Chapter 2: The Burrow

Harry, Ron, and Hermione stood at the end of the road leading to the burrow. Harry knew what was about to happen when they walked into the kitchen. Everyone would shower him with sorrow and sympathy because he was closet with Dumbledore. He almost couldn't bear it. But he had to... for Dumbledore. Hermione and Ron were thinking the same thing. They both looked at him.

"Well, are you ready?" asked Hermione.

"Yeah, we've got to go in sooner or later." replyed Harry.

The three of them walked up the long road in silence. They walked in the kitchen and saw everyone gathered around the table.

"Oh, your home Ron," said Mrs. Weasley. "Hello Harry dear, Hermione."

"You all must be starving. Molly, will you fetch us all some food?" asked Mr. Weasley.

As Mrs. Weasley was getting the food, everyone around the table talked.

"The ceremony today was very lovely." said Tonks.

"Yes it was, it was very sad though." said Lupin. Everyone agreed.

Everyone looked at Harry then looked away quickly. Before they arrived Mr. and Mrs. Weasley asked everyone to not say anything to Harry incase it upset him.

"Well the food is all ready. We've got, hot soup, homemade bread, and hot tea."

Mrs. Weasley's home cooked meals were always one of Harry's favorite things about the Burrow. As they all ate, everyone talked about the upcoming wedding. It would happen two weeks from then.

"Fleur is very excited. We're going dress shopping tommarow. Oh yes, Bill has asked me to tell you, Fred, George, Ron and Ginny, that he and Fleur would like it very much if you were in the wedding party. All I have to do is give Fleur your sizes and she'll take care of your outfits." said Mrs. Weasley.

"Oh mom, do I have to? I don't want to be in a wedding." said Fred whining.

"No you don't have to but then your brother and new sister in law will feel very badly. I think you should, but what does my opinion matter?" said Mrs. Weasley.

"Fine, I'll do it I guess." said Fred guiltily.

"Where is BIll and Fleur?" asked Ron.

"Their at their new house. They decided that they wanted to start getting it ready and everything unpacked." said Mr. Weasley.

" Well you all have had a long day, I suggest you go to bed. Harry, you can sleep in Ron's room, and Hermione can sleep in Ginny's." said Mrs. Weasley.

They said good night to everyone and went upstairs.

When they got to the landing where Ginny's room, they stopped to say goodnight to Hermione.

"Goodnight Harry." said Hermione as she kissed him on the cheek. Harry went a bright shade of pink.

"Yeah g-goodnight"

"Goodnight Ronald" but Hermione didn't kiss Ron like she did Harry.

"Night" said Ron in return.

Harry climbed into bed and fell asleep almost had once. He had a dream that he was at Bill's wedding, and he and Hermione were sitting along the isle. Next thing he knew, he was upfront as the groom, and infront of him stood Hermione. She was wearing a beautiful white gown with lace along the bottom. She looked very pretty. After they said their vows and as he bent down to kiss her, he woke up. He had butterflies in his stomach, and he smiled to himself. No, he thought, she's just your friend. And you just broke up with Ginny, you can't be thinking this. He shook the thought out of his mind and went back to sleep. He didn't have anymore dreams the rest of the night.

Harry woke up again at 3 am. After an hour of tossing and turning, he gave up and went down stairs to the kitchen and sat at the table. After only a few minutes he heard foot steps coming down the stairs. He looked up and saw Hermione standing there. She was only wearing a small tank top with short shorts on and a bath rob hung loosely at her sides.

"Oh, hello Harry. What are you doing up so early?" she asked

"I couldn't sleep so I came down here. I'm sorry if I woke you."

" No, no, I was just lying awake when I heard you come down. I thought I'd see what was wrong."

A bit of moon light shown in through the window and landed on Hermione. Harry realized how pretty she looked. Even when her hair was more messed up then normal. He smiled to himself.

"What? Why are you starring at me?" asked Hermione looing worried.

"Oh nothing. I wasn't starring at you. I was just... uh... starring off into space. You know. Just thinking." said Harry quickely.

"Ok then. Well I think I'm going to go back to bed. See you in the morning Harry."

"Goodnight Hermione."

Ok. Hermione is just your friend. You have no feelings what so ever for her. Sure she's pretty, and smart, funny, really organized, smells good, and has a beautiful smile. No, no, no, no NO! She's your best friend. And she probably would never in a million years feel the same way about you. Not that theres anything to feel the same way about because you don't like her. So get it out of your mind Harry.

Harry spent the rest of the morning very confused.
