Chapter 2

Hermione slid out of the burrow's fireplace, and Crookshanks leaped out of her arms onto the wooden floor.

"Hermione! I had no idea you were coming this early in the morning!" Ginny came running into the room at the sound of the noise, and helped her up.

"Well that's Harry for you." Hermione chuckled.

"I think they were going to get dressed and go…" Ginny started, but was cut off by the sudden appearance of Harry Potter and Ron Weasly.

"What the bloody hell-Mione? Is that you?" Ron came in saying.

Hermione had now just realized that she was covered in soot from the fireplace, and started dusting herself off. Before she could even say anything Ron had come over and started dusting her shoulders off. There eyes met, but they quickly snapped out of it. Harry and Ginny at the sight of this rolled there eyes in annoyance.

"Harry!" Hermione said, and they embraced greeting each other. "Ever since school ended, I've missed everyone so much! We've just been so busy lately."

"I know its been crazy." Harry replied. Crookshanks was now rubbing up against Harry's legs.

"Hermione lets go get your stuff upstairs so we can get to Hogsmeade." Ginny said.

"Were going to Hogsmeade?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah, we'll probably even get to see a few friends of ours." Ginny said and they both walked up the stairs. Ron however watched Hermione walk all the way up the stairs until she was no longer visible. Harry however spotted this.

"Ron, when are you going to tell Hermione you love her?" Harry asked eagerly.

"Look, Harry we've been over this. She probably still keeps in touch with Victor." Ron's voice made a mocking sound when he said Victor.

"You don't know that! Just because they might be keeping in touch doesn't mean they have to be going out, or snogging each other in the back of the Three Broom Sticks!" Harry said.

"Oh thanks Harry your making matters so much better!" Ron replied sarcastically. "By the way now that were on the topic of love, how's your crush on Ginny coming? I gave you permission years ago to date her! You're the one who hasn't made a move yet! Although now that I think about it, were both in the same place." Ron sighed.

"Yeah I guess your right, and about the Ginny thing you didn't tell her right?" Harry asked.

"No 'course not mate." Ron had stopped talking just in time as Hermione and Ginny came down stairs.

The only thing Ron and Harry didn't know, was that Hermione and Ginny heard every word.
