Harry stretched. iMaybe I'll do some reading/i/, he thought.
iThat would be nice. I could take a walk. Go sit down by the lake. I
could have a little peace and quiet before Renata found me/i/. He had no
doubt that she iwouldi find him. She always did.
He got out of bed and quietly dressed, picking up his book on the way out the door. It was a very worn copy of iThe Fellowship of the Ringi.
He didn't bother to stop for breakfast. He just spread out his cloak on the ground outside, in the shade of a tree at the edge of the lake, and lay back and read peacefully. He ran his fingers along the bottom of the tree, searching. He found them. The letters R/H. They were carved several times along the bottom of the tree. Harry chuckled softly. He never did find out who had put them there.
Time for that later. He opened his book and began to reread. It was a favorite story of his.
He was just on chapter 3 when something large plopped down in front of him, falling (or jumping), out of the tree. Two other somethings joined from the sides.
"Whatcha doin, hottie?" asked Renata in a much too loud voice as she snatched the book from his hands, the book she had given him.
"Playing hide and seek. I lost. You found me."
"I always do." She smiled smugly.
"Can we eat yet?" grumbled Ron.
"What?" asked Harry. Food sounded good right about now.
"We brought a picnic lunch," explained Hermione.
"But you can't have any, Harry!" taunted Renata. Her eyes danced playfully.
"I didn't expect either of you girls to be awake this early. It's not even noon yet," he teased. "You couldn't even keep your eyes open in the carriage ride back to the school."
"Shut-up," said Renata. "And get up. Spread your cloak out more so we can all sit on it."
"Why didn't you bring your own?" he grumbled, doing as she asked anyway.
"Because, I wanted to annoy you."
"Of course. I should have known. So how did you find me today? More special powers?"
"No. We just looked out the window." She handed him a sandwich.
He took a bite. His favorite: turkey on rye, with mayonnaise. Delicious! "Did I say 'I love you' yet today? 'Cause I do."
"No."
"I love you." They leaned together and kissed.
She grinned. "Ew! Mayonnaise breath!" She giggled.
The four of them spent the afternoon eating, laughing, and talking.
Renata pouted, "I want to go swimming."
"It's too cold to swim," said Ron, eating yet another sandwich.
"I want to go anyway," she insisted.
"You'll freeze and get sick," Hermione warned.
"No I won't. I'm indestructible." Renata held her head high.
Harry grinned wickedly at Ron with an are-you-thinking-what-I'm- thinking expression on his face. Ron gave a slight nod toward Renata. Apparently they were thinking the same thing.
While Renata talked to Hermione, Ron grabbed her wrists, and Harry grabbed her ankles.
"What? What are you doing?" They started walking toward the water. "Harry James Potter! Ronald Weasley! Put me down this instant!"
They obliged, but they were both knee-deep in the water. They ran for their lives. But they couldn't help turning back, just a few meters from the waters edge and watching.
Renata sputtered to the surface. "I'm going to get you for this!" She tried to reach for her wand, but it was gone. She saw it floating away in the water. She had to trudge deeper in after it. She was thoroughly soaked and shivering when she came out of the water.
Harry put his cloak around her. "Told you it was too cold to swim."
She dropped the cloak he'd given her. "Humph!"
"Renata!" he called. "You're going to get sick if you don't warm up!"
"As if you care!"
"Of course I care!"
"Then why did you throw me in that freezing water?" She leered, inches from his nose.
"Because you wanted to be there!" he screamed back.
"You ought to know me well enough to know when I'm serious and when I'm not!"
"You're ALWAYS serious in a NEVER serious kind of way!"
She shoved him and he went staggering backwards. He glared. There was no way he was going to hit a girl. Especially not this girl. He took out his wand. He could however, hex her. Nothing with permanent damage, just enough to immobilize her for awhile. She was quicker. She dove at he knees and sent him to the ground.
Then she took out her wand and started hexing.
When she was done, he was hardly recognizable. She stormed away (after dumping the remains of lunch over his head). Hermione got to work un- hexing him. She got rid of everything but the pig's feet, dog tail, and purple slime that would not stop coming out of his nose. He was disgusted to see that Renata had left Ron unscathed.
Eventually they found Renata and after numerous apologies from Harry, convinced her to remove the final curses.

Thanks for everybody who reviewed even though I've been terrible about updating. *whacks self with keyboard* Sorry this chapter is so short. I've been kind of at a writer's block (funny how often that keeps happening) and I had to write a stupid chapter, pointless to the plot, in order to help me get through it.
If you like my fluffy, corny romances you might want to try a couple of my song fics (they've got dialogue and stuffies).
This one is two Harry/Renata romances SAYING I LOVE YOU, SONGFICS
And this one HERMIONE'S DEAR DIARY, SONGFIC is a Ron/Hermione.
(Sorry I tried to put a link here but it didn't work)
