Harry and Hermione took the night bus to the burrow. Harry was bored and Hermione was reading a book called: The Orchids and Gumbo Poker Club. Harry looked over to see what it was about.

(A/N- it's continued from where it left off)

"Well," said William, "perhaps this bird can be persuaded?"
"And how, pray tell, do you suppose to do that?" she asked.
Slowly Williams green eyes met her blue ones, and then it happened. He kissed her!

"You're reading romance?" Harry asked

"Oh no! This book is about a mother and daughter relationship and the daughter likes this guy and the mother wants him to fall in lover with her daughter then the girl turns out hating this boy and marries her best friend." She answered.

"So Williams the friend?" Harry asked.

"No he's the one Darcy Lou likes, Gator is her best friend."

"You're reading it again?"

"Yeah it's really good it's supposed to be how a daughter can improve her relationship with her Mum." Hermione said and started crying into Harry's shoulder. He knew she missed her parents and tried not to show it. He knew she cried at night but that wasn't enough because her two best friends had also just died and she explained to him that was why she stopped eating because they were the only ones that understood her and never made fun of her for anything. He hugged her and rubbed her back occasionally giving her a kiss on her forehead. The rest of the ride they stayed like that and when they were at the Burrow Harry wrapped his arm around her waist and when he knocked on the door noticing them Mrs. Weasley said,

"who had it for August!"

"Me!" said Ginny as she got up from Seamus's lap.

"what about July?"

"Us!" said Fred and George.

She handed her children some galleons and everyone was clapping, except Ron.
Ron had thought Hermione would tell him yes. He thought he and Hermione were meant to be. Ron ran upstairs to his room and just angrily sat on his bed. He knew Hermione had said no but for Harry? He just sat there until Harry came up and asked him if he was going swimming with them. Ron told him no so Harry just left.

"Harry!" Hermione screamed but was too late because she was already pushed in the lake with her black bikini strings hanging from the sides of her bottom piece all you really saw was string flying through the air and an angry, wet Hermione came from under the water and said "You will pay" and with that Ginny pushed Harry in at Hermione's call. Hermione got out of the water and high-fived her. They both were laughing and Harry got out and pushed Ginny out then got pushed by Seamus who got pushed by Hermione. Hermione was on the grass laughing and Ginny, Harry, and Seamus picked her up and threw her in. They spent hours outside until Mrs. Weasley called everyone in. They had a great dinner of corn, chicken, and bread. Ron never came down to eat but no one seemed to notice or care they were all having fun talking and laughing and teasing. When they finished dinner Hermione asked every one "Wanna play truth or dare?"

"we will!" Ginny and Seamus answered.

"any body else?"

" Can we play or are we too old?" Fred and George asked

"you can play. Ron?" she waited several moments then started. "Ginny, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

" I dare you to……. snog Seamus in front of your parents" Hermione replied

"b-b-but"

"Chicken?" asked Hermione

"come on Seamus snog my brains out." Ginny said to him.

"The pleasure is all mine." He answered. They went to the kitchen acting as if they didn't see anyone in there and were looking for a private place. They came back.

"Hermione, truth or dare?" Ginny said with a devilish grin.

"Dare"

" I dare you to tongue Harry right in front of us" she said as payback.

"Harry?"

"Okay!"

It lasted about a minute or two but Ginny had a satisfied look on her face.

"Fred, truth or dare?" Hermione asked.

"TRUTH!" he said "TRUTH! TRUTH! TRUTH!" Fred said franticly.

"Is it true you date Clara from Hufflepuff in your year?" Hermione asked.

"Maybe,"

"I'll put the tickling spell on you"

"yes"

"George, truth or dare?" Fred asked

"Truth"

"is it true you have feelings for Violet from Ravenclaw?"

"Yes"

"Seamus, truth or dare?" asked George.

"Dare" he said.

"I dare you to" they never heard because he whispered it in his ear and Seamus said. "Come on Ginny" they went back into the kitchen and Seamus said to Ginny "I love you" and Ginny kissed him and said "I love you too" they went back in the room and everyone clapped and Mrs. Weasley came out crying because of what Seamus told Ginny.

"Harry truth or dare?" asked Seamus.

"Dare." He said

"I dare you to sleep on the couch with Hermione tonight." Seamus said proudly.

"okay"

"Enough truth or dare kids." They heard Mrs. Weasley's voice "come have some dessert!"

They filed to the kitchen and saw pumpkin pie out. While they ate they talked more and decided what they would do tomorrow.

"So more swimming then to Diagon Alley when the letters arrive?" Seamus said.

"yep, that's it" Hermione said.

Hermione awoke hearing "awww" and "how cute" she opened her eyes and saw everyone staring at her. She was on the couch with Harry's arms wrapped around her waist. The dare! She remembered.

"Okay show's over people move." She said.

She sat up and shook Harry awake. He saw the surroundings and Hermione next to him but sitting up.

"Good morning, sleep well?" she asked.

"like a baby" Harry answered and pulled her down and said "more sleep, now."

"no, get up now. It's oh my gosh it's ten! Get up! Get up!" she cried.

"Fine" He said with a grunt. Hermione left to take a shower so he waited for her to come out before he took his. When everyone was ready they decided to wait for their Hogwarts letter so they wouldn't have to make two trips. When the owls came everyone opened up their letter and read it.

"OH MY GOSH I GOT HEAD GIRL!" Hermione screamed.

"I got head boy, and Quidditch captain!" Harry yelled.

"Great!" Hermione said and kissed him.

"Well not anymore" he said noticing Ron's face "here Ron you take Quidditch captain."

"Thanks." He mumbled, he still wasn't over Hermione.

"Let's get our supplies." Hermione said finishing her list.

"Yeah let's go." Harry said.
