"Isn't brilliant to be able to apparate now?" asked Ron as we walked through the Hogwarts ground.
"Yea, way easier. Hermione, when will we be able to apparate?" asked Harry, turning his attention to me.
I don't answer for a couple of seconds but then I say" Here, we're officially out of Hogwarts ground.
POP.POP.POP
We apparate right at the kitchen of number 12 grimmauld place. There we find Molly and Sirius.
They both welcome us warmly.
Then Sirius finally says, "Well during these months, I've had a bit more cleaning done so you each can have a room of your own, well actually Hermione, I'm sorry but you'll have to share a room with Ginny.
We just got the word that Shackelbolt's (sp?) nephew, John, will be staying with us also."
"Its ok Sirius."
And with that, we each go to our rooms, but before I can enter my room, Ron stops me.
"Listen, Hermione," I stop and turn around.
"Yes?"
"I...um, well actually...oh never mind," and with that he just walks off.
What in the world was that all about? I open the door to Ginny's room and find her in her bed reading a magazine.
"So...Have you heard about John?"
"Oh he's been mentioned here and there," She said, turning a light shade of pink.
"And?"
"Well ok. I've seen him once and to tell you the truth, he is pretty cute."
"Ok, just don't let Ron hear you say that."
"Trust me, I won't."
"So when's John coming"
"The day before Christmas," Ginny said with a slight grin.
