Author's Note: So I for once in my life have a good-ish excuse to being so bad at updating lately: I'm a senior in high school, and I'm applying to 14 colleges, all who want a whole bunch of different stuff. I had to write a college admissions essay (which happened to be titled "How Harry Potter Changed My Life") and that took me a while. I was also a part of my school's fall play of "Arsenic and Old Lace" and I'm the Editor-in-Chief of the school's yearbook. So I've been a little busy. But, I've found a little free time (just so happens to be during mid terms?) haha.
So with my most grateful apologies, here is my update.
Quote #4
Hermione's very favorite movie was The Wizard of Oz. It was the only thing she'd ever pick over curling up with a book and reading it cover to cover.
Ron knew this, but for the life of him, he couldn't understand the movie, no matter how many times he watched it with Hermione, it didn't make the slightest sense.
What kind of witch was green? And Ron knew for a fact they didn't melt in water. And unless that tornado was a portkey (and Ron had checked that with Hermione, it's impossible) there's no way for a little girl and her dog with no magical powers to transport to another dimension or world.
"But Hermione loved it, and Ron kept that in mind when he had started dating her.
It was 3 AM, a month and a half after the final battle, and Ron had a feeling it was going to be his first time sleeping through the night in a long time.
That was not the case.
"RON!" Hermione was shaking Ron awake around 3 AM. "Ron wake up!" Ron sat up in a panic, breathing deeply and looking around wildly.
"Hermione, what's wrong," Ron asked.
"I forgot about my parents," she said. Ron did everything in his power not to groan and hit her head back on the pillow.
"Hermione, I thought something bad had happened." Ron relaxed slightly and ran his hand over his face.
"This is bad Ron! I left them in Australia! What kind of horrible daughter am I?" she said frantically.
"'Mione," Ron said to try and calm her down. "I promise, you and I will go first thing in the morning, to Australia," He put his hand on her shoulder. "But it's three in the morning, and we have to go back to sleep…" Hermione nodded slowly and Ron gave her a hug. "Come on," he said. He lied back down, bringing Hermione with him and wrapping her in his arms.
In minutes, they were asleep.
At 7 AM, Ron was taken from his slumber once again.
"Come on Ron, let's go!" Hermione said. Ron opened one eye to see Hermione already dressed and ready. Then Ron remembered the night before and rolled out of bed.
"Okay okay, " Ron said. "Gimme a minute will ya…"
Soon enough, Ron and Hermione were aparating their way to Australia.
When they arrived and Ron looked around, Ron was surprised. Australia was very different from London.
"Well?" Hermione said, snapping Ron back to attention.
"Toto, I've got a feeling we aren't in Kansas anymore" Ron said, feeling like that was appropriate. Hermione laughed and leaned over, taking Ron's hand and kissing his cheek.
"I told you you'd understand that movie soon enough," she smiled. "No come on," and she dragged him along to her parents house.
"Toto, I've got a feeling we aren't in Kansas anymore" – The Wizard of Oz
