Sarah!

Do you?

Chapter 3

Later on that afternoon Ron received another letter from Hermione. He was kind of nervous about opening it, he was afraid of what it might say. He stood there in the middle of his kitchen looking down at the letter in his hand.

"Are you going to open the letter, or just stare at it?" asked the twins.

When Ron didn't respond to the comment, Harry did. "Guys, leave him alone. Just give him a sec."

"Why, what's going on? Who is it from?" asked George.

"You know who it's from, just go upstairs." snapped Ginny.

"No, it's a free country, we can stand here if we want to!" teased Fred.

"Listen, it's going to take Ron a lot of courage to open that letter, just lay off him for a little while." Harry said Calmly.

"Fine, fine. Good luck Ron."

"Yeah, ok, sure. Hey do you think one of you could open it for me?" asked Harry and Ginny.

"No, Ron. I Think that you should be the one to open it. I mean it's written to you, not me or Harry." explained Ginny.

"I know I know, I'm just worried it will say something that I don't want to hear, you know what I mean?"

"Of course, we understand. Just take your time opening the letter." said Harry while taking a seat at the table.

"I don't get it. Why are you two being to supportive?" Ron curiously asked the other two.

"Well, I dunno. I guess we were kind of harsh before, just making up for that time, I guess." said Ginny.

"Oh, ok. I think I'm ready to open the letter now." said Ron nervously. He slowly untied the string wrapped around the letter. He unrolled the letter and read;

Dear Ron;

I'm glad your excited about meeting Jake, he's a really nice guy. Why did you ask me if him and I were just friends, of course we are, I just met him! But actually I do need to ask you something, do you think it would a problem if Jake came to stay at the burrow when I come. It's just that he's kind of nervous about starting at Hogwarts and it think that if he had a chance to meet you, Harry and Ginny before school starts it would be easier for him. Maybe you could talk to you mum, to see if you can find out if it works, thanks. that's all for now.

Luv Hermione.

"So what does it say?" Ginny asked anxiously.

"She said that she and Jake are just friends. And that he's nervous about starting at Hogwarts and was wondering if Jake could come to the burrow when Hermione comes, just so he could get to know some other students before school begins. What do you think I should do?" Ron asked the two of them.

"Well, that's really up to you? I mean Hermione said that there's nothing going on between them, so I think you have nothing to worry about, and besides if he does come you can kind of keep and eye on them. You know what I mean?" stated Ginny.

"Hmm, I guess I'll have to talk to mum, to see if he can stay here?"

"You do to talk to me about what?" asked Mrs. Wealsey while walking into the kitchen, catching the end of their conversation.

"It's about Hermione, you see she has a friend who's our age. And he's starting at Hogwarts and is kind of nervous, and she was wondering if he could stay here. So that he could get to know us." Ron told her.

"That's fine with me, is it ok with you?" she asked him.

Quite surprised by this question, he responded with "Yeah! Yeah, of course it is!"

"Ok, I just wanted to be sure. When are they coming?"

"Monday." he responded.

"That's fine."

"Ok, I'll go write Hermione." he said while running up stairs with a forced smile on his face.

"Is he sure that this is what he wants?" Mrs. Weasley asked Harry and Ginny.

"I think so."

When he arrived at his room, he took a quill and a piece of parchment off of his desk, and began to write.

Dear Hermione,

I just talked to my mum and said that it's not a problem at all if Jake comes and stays the rest of the summer. So you two are still coming on Monday right? Because that's what I told my mum. How are you getting here? Are you flooing or taking a portkey? Let me know, so I can tell mum.

Ron.

He decided that he would just write Ron as an ending, just incase Hermione hadn't figured out that he liked her.
