A/N: Hey everyone, so sorry I haven't updated! It's been a bit hectic around here to tell the truth, so I hope you forgive me!
Hermione opened her eyes slowly not wanting to wake up from her wonderful dream that Ron had come back. She finally gave up and opened her eyes fully. Sure enough, she rolled over and Ron wasn't there. She looked though and saw some familiar clothes on the floor and smiled.
Hermione got up and put on a pair of blue jeans and a form fitting t-shirt. She walked into the kitchen and saw that the apartment was empty. She looked into Jessica's room and saw that she was still dead asleep, so she walked out of the apartment into the Leaky Cauldron.
The pub was somewhat busy and Hermione was glad she didn't have to work. She looked around and finally spotted Ron at a table with two very familiar people. Harry and Ginny's backs were to her and when Ron spotted her she motioned for him to not say anything.
She walked up behind Ginny and said, "You know, your brother might still be a git, but he's a very romantic one."
Ginny and Harry spun around and smiled broadly when they saw Hermione standing behind them. Ginny squealed and got up to wrap Hermione in a bone crushing hug.
"Oh, I've missed you!" they both said at the same time and laughed. The girls broke apart and then Harry got up to hug her.
"It's good to have you back Hermione," Harry said truthfully. Once everyone was done hugging, Hermione went over and gave Ron a kiss. "Good morning," she said. Ron grinned at her goofily like he always did.
They all sat and talked for about an hour when Jessica came down the stairs groggily in yet another Chudley Cannons t-shirt. She spotted the group and came to sit down in the last chair beside her dad.
"Morning," she said as Tom came over to give her the pumpkin juice she always drank in the morning. Tom talked to everyone for a minute before going back to take other customer's orders.
"So, you take after me do you? Not a morning person." Ron said smiling at Jessica.
"You shouldn't be talking. You were making all sorts of racket in the bathroom at about seven this morning," Jessica said grumpily.
Ron laughed. He loved being around Jessica already. Hermione broke off her conversation with Jessica and asked, "When do you two have to go back to Hogwarts?"
Ron shrugged. "Probably tomorrow. I wanted to take you out to dinner tonight, if that's okay."
Hermione beamed. "Of course it is! Where are we going?"
Ron shook his head. "Nope, it's a surprise, you're not getting it out of me."
Hermione laughed. "Fine, just nothing that is going to try to serve me something that I can't even read off of the menu."
"Deal."
The group finished their breakfast and Harry and Ginny went back to Hogwarts so they could finish up some things at the school and check up on their daughter, Emma.
Ron and Jessica decided to go shopping out in Diagon Alley and Hermione said that she wanted to do some things in the apartment and she would see them later.
Ron and Jessica stepped out into the semi-busy street and Jessica looked up at him. "Okay, so what do I call you exactly?"
Ron looked surprised. "Oh yeah, I don't guess we covered that yet… uh, how about you call me dad? Oh, but you still have to call me 'Professor' when we're in class though."
Jessica nodded. "Alright then Dad, you didn't just want to go shopping for fun. What do you need to get? I know every shop like the back of my hand."
Ron smiled mischievously. "Jess, which jewelry store has the absolute best rings in it?"
