Disclaimer: I own nada. I wouldn't be here writing fanfiction if I owned HP, I'd be writing novels. Actually, many I would have came here to write too...cuz I mean, I like time travel, crossdimensional travels, and a whole bunch of unique fics!

A/N Anyway, this is a small story, with about ten chappies or so. Currently, I'm in to Charlie and Hermione centered fics, so I'm writing one!

Hermione's POV (point of view)

I was ecstatic! It was the end of seventh year and Harry had finally defeated Lord Voldemort with mine and Ron's help! And nobody we knew really died afterall!

But that wasn't the real good news. Summer was starting, and Molly Weasley was inviting everyone to a private wizarding beach on one of Hawaii's small islands. There's a couple cottages there and muggles couldn't see anything if they were passing by ferry. It was brilliant! Everyone was coming, all 8 Weasleys (Percy moved to America, says it's business), Harry, Neville, Luna, Dean, Seamus, Draco (who turned out to be a spy in the end!), Remus, Tonks, Sirius (who miraculously returned from the veil) and of course, me! Then there were a few others.
Bill had taken a break from being Gringotts' curse breaker because he had helpped the order with the war, so they rewarded him with the vacation. I've never met him properly, not since a few years ago. Then there was Charlie, whom I haven't seen since what, fourth year? He called in quits in Romania and was to work somewhere else soon. I don't really know the two much, but Ron says they're pretty nice, even though Charlie's a bit wild.

"You ready to go, dear?" my mom asked me from the bedroom door. I was busy packing the rest of the things I need, which included lots of clothes and swimwear. I wanted to get a nice tan when we leave at the end of August. And today was only July 15. I bet I'll be niced and coloured.

"Yes, mum. Just gotta pack some accessories." I waved my wand and my make up kits (about half a dozen of them!) packed themselves in my trunk.

I don't know when I became such a girly girl. Well, I'm not, really but lately I've been worried about my appearance and how I smell and look. Mom says that since I'm older now and don't have a boyfriend,I'm on the alert at all times and I feel the need to look my best. My hair was no longer bushy, I had managed to use a hair straightener on it and brush it out. Now they fell like sleek curls, which looked a bit weird so I streaked them blonde. Dad says it looks pretty on me.

Then I've been wearing different clothes. I had gotten a magazine from America where my muggle best friend Jessica lived and it had a whole bunch of tight, small clothes that I decided to buy. And I started wearing make up, just light eyeshadow and lip gloss. I like my new style. Then there were the books. I've stop reading, but not for the reason you think. It's just that there are simply no more books to read! Shocking, I know. I've been whining to some authors to hurry up and finish their novels, cuz I've been bored the past three days. (A/N My friend's like that too. She read all the books in our elemantary school library years ago, I swear. She reads them during class, lunch, recess and gym. Thank goodness she's not in my junior high school or she would have checked all the books out. I love ya though!)

"Ok, I'm ready to go," I declared as I shrunk my trunk and placed it in my pocket. I was wearing light shorts with a light blue seawave top that showed my belly a bit.

"We'll see you soon," mom cooed and gave me a bone crushing hug. Literally. I heard my shoulder bones crack. "I'll tell dad you said bye."

Waving, I stepped in the fireplace which was temporarily connected to the Floo system. Dropping floo powder into the flame, I shouted out, "The Burrow" and felt a wave of sickness wash over me. I fell out of the fireplace headfirst.

"Hermione!" I looked up clumsily to see Ron standing there with a big grin on his face, which I returned. He looked much healthier than I last saw him two weeks ago, when he was looking pretty bad with all those bruises and cuts. I stood up and brushed ash and soot from my pants and gave him a bear hug.

"Wow, Mione you've changed since two weeks ago. Are you doing ok? Better? Good, cuz I want to reintroduce you to the rest of the family," Ron said while he dragged me to the kitchen where there where the rest of the family was. And I mean the REST of the family.

"Bill, Charlie, I want you to meet Hermione Granger. Surely you remember that bookwoorm aka know-it-all?" Ron chuckled while I glared at him. Then I shook my hand with the two boys. "And this is Charlotte, Sirius' girl." Sirius glared at him while I giggled. She has blonde hair like Luna's and green eyes like Harry's. She was actually pretty for a forty year old.

"Nice to meet you." Then I went over to hug Ginny and Harry, who was already here. So were Luna, Draco, Seamus, Dean, Neville, Sirius, Remus and Tonks and Charlotte. And to my surprise, there was also Fleur (Bill's wife) , Angelina Johnson and Alicia Spinnet, Fred and George's girlfriends.

"Hello, dear! I assume you've got all your stuff? Good. Now everyone grab onto this," Molly ordered while holding out a flower. How were we all supposed to grab on? Everyone touched with the tip of their fingers and a second later, we were on the middle of a beach with about five cozy cottages in the back where the palm trees were. A relaxing breeze swept into the air. We gasped in awe, it looked beautiful. Ours for over a month!

"Now, you kids will take this side of the island," Arthur started, pulling out his trunk, "and we older adults shall take the other side. Bill and Fleur are in charge. We'll be back in five hours." Then he, Molly, Remus, Tonks, Sirius and Charlotte trudged to the other side of the island, where there's probably more cottages.

"So how are we gonna split 5 cottages between sixteen people?" Harry asked. "Do we just give girls two and us guys three?" I smacked my forehead.

"Of course, you idiot!" I sighed exasperately. "Three boys in two, four in one and three girls in each remaining!" He can be so dense sometimes, no matter how much research he did while looking up Horcruxes.

"Oh." Rolling my eyes, I went to the cottage closest to a palm tree and looked inside. There were two bunk beds on the east side of the hut and a small bed on the other. Then there were dressers at the ends of the beds, with a desk on the north side of the hut. The place was nicely spaced out and there was a window on the east, north and west wall (the south was the door).

Taking out my trunk, I dropped it on the west bed and started unpacking. I placed my two make up kits on my dresser at the end of my bed and started putting my under garments in the lower drawer. Then I folded my other clothes into my top drawer. After getting out my surfboard which I had shrunk into the trunk, I placed the trunk itself under my bed and changing into my purple two piece bathing suit. By now, Ginny and Luna had come in and started to unpack as well, with Luna at the top bunk.

"What's that?" Ginny inquired me curiously as I polished my surfboard lovingly. It was a designer's copy of the one (insert famous surfboarder name here) with waves on the front and back side. The words AHOLLA were painted in red on the backside of my board.

"It's called a surfboard, it's a muggle thing where you can surf on the waves," I explained. Luna's and Ginny's eyes lit up.

"Can we go too? Please? Teach us?" Ginny begged. I nodded smiling and holding out my hand. There were about twenty smaller boards in them, which I was planning to give to the others.

"Sure, get changed first and let's go." Grabbing my towel and those sun umbrellas, I exited the hut and found a nice place on the beach. Ginny and Luna came running out a second later sqealling with happiness and begged me to teach them. Rolling my eyes, we tied our hairs up and began swimming out to sea.

"So how do we surf?" Ginny asked. I bet she thought it was a piece of cake.

"It's simple, you just stand on it, right?" Luna tried to answer with her dreamy look on her face. I gave them a smile. We were a bit far out, but that means we get bigger waves. The waves in Hawaii are huge, about a hundred feet tall sometimes!

"Well, you stand on it but sometimes the board is so wet you slip and fall. But if you balance out, you're supposed to surf across a wave and get on top," I tried to explain without that know-it-all tone. They nodded, confused but watched me and did as I told them. A wave was coming. "Hold on!" We climbed onto our feet and I started whooping loudly. Luna was giggling so hard that she fell off her board with a slam and Ginny just slipped.

By the time that wave was over, we were back on the sand, rolling over with hysterical laughter.

"You should have seen your face, Ginny! You looked so frustrated!" I giggled as I got up and brushed sand which stuck to my wet skin. Ginny rolled her eyes while Luna laughed.

"I thought surfing was easy!" she protested. At this, I shook my head.

"You need lots of practice to get it right. It took me two months to even stay balanced on the board," I called over my shoulder as I headed to lie down next to the others. Charlie was grinning at me like crazy.

"You girls looked hot out there," he told me. "Except for Ginny. You should teach me how to do that, tumble over my board like this." He made a perfect impression of Ginny's face. Ginny glared at him before whacking him with her towel. I burst out laughing. He really is a little wild, in a hot way. No...did I just think that?

"Wait a minute, I thought you lived in England. There aren't any beaches with waves in England," Ginny commented (I don't think so, well I dunno. but in my story, there aren't). I gave them a small smile.

"I used to live in California, in America," I told them sadly. "I moved to England after I got my Hogwarts letter." Nodding, Harry asked Ginny, Ron and I if we'd like to go swimming in the water. "Sure."

Just then, Fred and George came running up and tried to hide from Angelina and Alicia. "Just you wait, you Weasleys, we'll get you back for that little stunt!" they cried out. I put my hands on my hips.

"What did you do?" I demanded. They held up their hands in defence, which actually showed evidence of green liquid.

"Nothing! We would-, George started.

"-never ever-," Fred continued.

"-ever think about-," George continued.

"-doing something as-,"

"-stupid as turning-,"

"-our dear girlfriends'-,"

"-clothes green," George finished. Rolling my eyes, I dragged Harry, Ron and Ginny to the water. Before I went though, Charlie flashed me his famous Weasley grin. As I ran to the water, my heart melted. He looked so cute, with his flowing red hair and his tan from working with dragons all day. And there's the fact that his chest was showing, revealling his muscualar form also from working with dragons.

Stop that, I scolded myself. You're in love with Ron, you've always have. Why else did I go to the bathrooms crying on Halloween in first year? It was because Ron said those words, not just the words themselves. Then there was the fact he and I always argue, which I do only just to have an excuse to talk to him. And he savedm e from that troll!

My face blushing, I dived deep down into the water, which felt cool and refreshing. How come my feelings are starting to get mixed up? My life's getting complicated.

"Did you see Draco?" Harry was saying when I came back up. "He was totally oggling Luna. And so was Neville! Really, what's that all about?" We smirked, knowing full well that the two guys fancied the part veela.

"Speaking of people who fancy each other, who do each of you fancy?" Ron asked. I blushed. I couldn't say it was him! That would be like saying I like Charlie...NO! I don't!

"Not telling," I teased, splashing water at him. I noticed Ginny and Harry blushing as well. Hmmm...I thought Ginny liked Dean? Oh well, my thoughts were pushed away as everyoone else came into the water and we started to have a water fight.

Laughing, I tried to spray water at the whole Weasley family, who was teaming up on me. Great. "You guys! Stop!" I exclaimed, giggling. Then I took a deep breath and dived under. I once I was underwated, I grabbed two different legs and pulled them down underwater with me. This received a shriek from a girl and a yelp from one of the males. Once I resurfaced, I determined it was Luna and Draco. Ooops, wrong people!

"Hehe," I said nervously as Draco sent me a glare. But then he did something surprising when everyone else turned away. He gave me a heart warming smile. Not heart melting as Charlie's or Ron's heart shattering grin.

No! I screamed in my head, trying to shake my head of my thoughts. What was wrong with me?

"Are you ok, honey?" Alicia asked me, swimming over to where I was while I treaded water. I gave her a small reassuring smile. She'll make a good mother with George some day.

"I'm fine. I just a have a small headache, that's all. I'm going back, to clear my thoughts," I answered her before swimming back to shore. Before I left, I thought I saw Charlie give me a concerned look, but I dismissed it. He doesn't know me, he doesn't care for me, and why should he? Maybe it's because he's part of the cause of my headache? my inner voice asked me. NO!

"Grr..." I moaned as I laid down on my towel in the shade. I didn't hear someone come up in front of me several minutes later.

"Hey," Ron greeted me nervously. He smiled at me, who I grinned back at. "You don't mind if I sit here?" Shaking me head, I gave him a smile and brought out a towel beside me for him to lay on.

"How's it going so far?" I asked him softly, while sorting about my feelings. There's no way that I'm falling for Charlie Weasley, just no freaking way. It's Ron I love, that's it. Him, not his brother but him. And Draco? He's hot, but he was so mean!

"Good. Um, Mione? There's something I need to tell you," he said nervously, twiddling his fingers. Aw... that's so cute. But what did he need to tell me?

"Yes, what is it?" I calmly and sweetly inquired. Was he gonna say what I hope he will say?

"Well, you see. I really like you. Really REALLY like you," he told me in one big breath. Then he turned red and faced away.

My heart stopped. This was my perfect chance! Touching his arm, he faced me. Then I leaned in closer...

Charlie's POV

I was too busy having fun to notice what Hermione was doing on the beach, and who was with him. Fred and George had Angelina and Alicia on their shoulders and were having a fight where one pushed the other off. I was busy splashing Bill and Fleur who were caught in a compromising position and Harry and Ginny were helpping me. But then I noticed Ron was missing too and my eyes were directed to the beach.

And he was on the beach, making out with Hermione Granger! Pretty Granger. Mione. My Mione. My-own-ee. Her name is like a poem... Hehe, my-own-knee.

Sighing, I stopped splashing the happily married couple and just treaded water as I unhappily watched everyone else around me. Everyone seemed perfect with one another, each of them probably has a crush which they'll probably ask out. Either that or they're dating someone, married or engaged like Angelina and Fred. George was planning to ask Alicia soon, probably in the next several weeks. And I was all alone, with the one person I like making out with my little-est brother.

"What's wrong, Charlie?" Alicia asked me as she noticed my solemn expression. I shook my head.

"I just have a headache, that's all," I told her. She frowned.

"You're the third one with a headache today. Things are so weird around here," she muttered as she went back over to George. Oh yeah, Hermione had a headache as well, I thought sarcastically. And Ron. I bet he had a good headache too. It was an excuse to snog his best friend senseless. Jealously glancing back at the beach, I told Bill I was headed for our hut.

Why do I even like her? I don't even know her, besides the fact she was a bookworm. But other than that, she wasn't that bad looking, she had starting curves and a wicked smile. I'm gonna get to know her, I promised myself. I'll be her friend.

"Seriously, Char. Whats wrong with you today?" Bill questioned me as he walked in the door a minute later. He had followed me. Great, I had been trying hard to slip by the snogging couple unnoticed. Oh wait, they're still making out. Fantastic.

"Nothing, I'm fine," I protested as I rolled over and pressed my pillow to my face. I can practically hear Bill rolling his eyes.

"It's about a girl, isn't it," he said. It wasn't a question, it was a statement. When I looked up, I gave him a puzzled glare. How'd he know?

Bill sighed. He then sat down on his bed and started to tie his shoe. It's been four and a half hours already, so mum, dad and those other two couples were gonna be back soon. They had mentioned something about a small restaurant in the middle of the island run by houseelves where we could go eat dinner. Great, cuz I was starving. "Look, Charlie. I'm your only older brother, so I've been there for you ever since you lost your first tooth or had your tonsils painfully removed (I winced) or having your first crush. And when you had your first serious girlfriend, well...who gave you tips?"

I was in shock. Was bill my role model? No...he was my idol. "Yes, it is," I whispered, finally admitted it. In truth, I've like Hermione for the past two years. Ron's sent me about ten letters a week talking just about her, and she started to make a great impression on me. Bill gave me a smirk.

"Well...who is it? I'll invite her over here, I'm sure the girls wouldn't mind another roommate," he offered. I shook my head stubbornly. I hated my life. Sure, I was a bachelor and had girls literally knocking on my door every hour, but none of them were like Hermione. Bill sighed before pulling on a shirt.

"Come on, we've gotta go meet mum and dad and the others for dinner," Bill ordered. The twins sauntered in, snniggering.

"Did you see Ickle Ronniekins making out with Hermie? They're so cute," Fred and George grinned. The three of us began changing. However, to me it was not cute; it made me slightly sick in the stomach.

"Ten galleons say they get married in 7 months," Bill wagered, daggling ten gold coins in the air. I knew they were fake though, it clearly said so on the coins. However, the twins' eyes lit up.

"Ten says that they elope in 2 MONTHS! And have a kid in a year." That's it. Finished changing, I ran from the room.

Hermione's POV

Dinner was so sweet and romantic. Especially with Ron by my side and when we announced to everyone we were together, everyone was happy for us. However, I felt a little guilty, like I was cheating on someone with feelings. I did NOT want to think who though.

"That's great, Mione. You deserve some happiness in your life," Ginny told me as we exited the restaurant. We didn't have to actually pay, of course. That was what we did at the beginning of summer. Remus, Tonks, Sirius and Charlotte was going to come with us to the beach the next day and then after we were gonna play a game of Quidditch. I heard there was a small pitch on the east side of the island, where we were gonna play a couple games.

"Thanks," I answered her. "What about you? Do you have your eye on Dean?" She blushed.

"No, I like someone else now." I frowned. Weird, did she like Harry? "What about you, Luna?" Ginny changed the subject quickly. "Draco's oggling you a lot."

Luna snarled. This was the first time I've seen her do that. Needless to say we were shocked. "Oggling ME? I think not, he's not eyeing me, just a certain dark/light haired person in this room," she snapped. We were more than taken back. Draco fancy me? Yeah right...

Anyway, that night, I had a peaceful but confusing dream, In my dream...

A/N The dream's in the next chapter. Now I am very sad to say that my second grandmother has died, sometime between when I started this chapter and when I ended it. RIP. My mum's taking it hard, she's sobbing in her room right now. And I never got the chance to know any of my grandmas. The first one died before I was born and my second one lived halfway around the world.

Anyway, please review. Rest in Peace, grandmas.
