1Chapter 6
As the day began everyone was in and out of the flat. Harry and Ron went to train and Hermione was stuck at home cleaning and getting ready to go shopping with her mother. A part of Hermiones brain told her that she should have went with Harry and Ron so she could watch Ron work out.
'That would have been an experience.' She thought. She bit her lip just thinking about him shirtless. She had rarely seen Ron without his shirt on but when she had he hadn't been that well defined yet. Now, oh now she would give anything to see him without his shirt on. She imagined Ron shirtless, doing push ups, drops of sweat sliding down his back, his muscles moving underneath his skin... The phone ringing snapped Hermione out of her day dream. She ran to pick up the phone.
"Hello?" She said half way out of breath.
"Hi honey it's Mum. I was just wondering when you wanted me to pick you up?" Her mother asked on the other end of the phone.
"Oh um.. Two o'clock is fine." Hermione answered, putting her hand on her chest trying to slow down her breathing.
"Are you alright dear? You sound.. Well out of breath?" Her mother asked suspiciously. Her mother would always find a sneaky way to ask or ask around the topic of Hermione fooling around with one of her best friends and roommates. Her mother was nosey and suspicious of her daughter now that she did live with Harry and Ron.
"Yes Mum I just ran to answer the phone, I was in my room finding something to wear." Hermione told her mother. Her mother gave a little laugh of relief.
"Oh well, alright then, I'll see you at two o'clock!" She said and hung up the phone. Hermione hung up the phone and sighed. She walked back to her room to get ready and couldn't stop fantasizing about Ron. She pictured him still training and then in the shower. Hermione just couldn't stop. She shook her head a couple of times as if that would knock them out of her head. When she was finally standing infront of her full length mirror admiring herself in her blue jeans, little tan tank top and green long sleeved shirt she had over it, she stopped fantasizing about Ron. Well she stopped fantasizing about Ron.. Alone. A quick image of her and Ron in his bed making love was the final straw for her.
"That's it! Just stop thinking about those things Hermione!" She yelled out to herself. Just then there was a knock at the front door. Hermione grabbed her purse and went to open the door. She opened it to find her mother standing there with a huge smile on her face.
"Hermione!" Her mother said and gave her daughter a big hug as if she hadn't seen her in years.
"Hi Mum how are you?" Hermione said.
"I'm fine honey how are you? Where's Harry and Ron?" Her mother asked, looking around the apartment for Harry and Ron.
"I'm doing good. They're at the Ministry training." Hermione said.
"Oh well that's good! So are you ready to go shopping?" Her mother asked excitedly. Hermione nodded her head, grabbed her purse and coat and they were off.
Hours later Hermione and her mother arrived back at Hermiones flat. When they walked in Harry and Ron were sitting on the couch laughing and talking.
"Hello Mrs. Granger how are you?" Harry asked right away. Ron just smiled at her.
"I'm fine Harry how are you? How are you Ron?" She asked them returning the warm smile.
"I'm fine thank you." Harry said.
"Fine thanks." Ron answered.
"So what did you ladies buy today?" Harry asked standing up. Ron kept his seat. Hermione knew he was a little hesitant towards her mother him being the main one she was suspicious of.
"Um.. We bought some blouses and things for around the house." Hermione chimed in. Harry nodded.
"Well dear I best be off your father is waiting for dinner I know that for a fact! I had fun thank you for inviting me. Call me soon okay?" Hermiones mother said giving her a hug.
"I will Mum. Thank you for going with me I had fun." Hermione said. Her mother gave a quick squeeze and let go of her.
"I love you." She said.
"I love you too Mum. Tell Dad I love him too." Hermione said smiling at her mother.
"I will. Goodbye boys see you next time!" Her mother said and they all said goodbye and Hermions mother was gone. Hermione sighed and collapsed down on the couch in the middle of Harry and Ron.
"That bad huh?" Ron asked. Hermione playfully hit his arm.
"No it wasn't bad! I just had to hear about you two the whole bloody time!" Hermione said rubbing her temples. Harry and Ron laughed in shock.
"What?! About us?" Harry asked.
"Yes you two! You know she thinks there's something going on with me and one of you two she just doesn't know who! She should know better but that's my Mum for you!" Hermione said. Harry and Ron doubled over in laughter. Hermione didn't think it was that funny.
"Yeah your Mums a little off her rocker to think that!" Ron said. Hermione quickly looked at him.
"Oh really? Why is that so hard to believe? Your Mum probably suspects something don't you think?" Hermione shot back. Ron looked taken aback. Harry rolled his eyes and said "Here we go again." under his breath.
"I'm just going to go ahead and leave to go to your Mums to see Ginny. See you guys later." Harry said and quickly apparated out of the flat to leave Hermione and Ron to fight. They always fought about the stupidest things but Ron always knew how to get under Hermiones skin.
"Hermione all I meant was... And yes my Mum used to suspect things but now she doesn't! Your Mum shouldn't either!" Ron said. Hermione stood up from her place on the couch.
"That still doesn't give you the right to call my Mum crazy!" Hermione said heatedly. Ron also stood up from his place on the couch.
"Hermione I wasn't.. Just because.. Oh never bloody mind just forget it! Can we just go to my Mum and Dads house in a good mood? Huh can we?" Ron said also heatedly. Hermione huffed.
"Yes lets! Now lets go!" She said and they apparated to The Burrow.
Once at The Burrow Hermione and Ron were immediately engulfed with hugs from the Weasleys.
"Hermione dear how are you?" Mrs. Weasley asked her.
"I'm good Molly how are you?" Hermione asked.
"Hermione nice to see you!" Mr. Weasley said.
"Nice to see you too Mr. Weasley" Hermione greeted.
"Hey Mione!" Fred and George Weasley both said at the same time.
"Hi." Hermione said giving them a hug.
"Hello Hermione long time no see." Bill Weasley said.
"Bill I know how are you?" Hermione asked. She never got an answer as Ginny suddenly whisked her away and into the living room.
"Thank you." Hermione said, faking like she was out of breath. Ginny laughed and gave her a hug.
"Your welcome! Quite a turn out huh? Pretty much all the Weasley clan is here!" Ginny said laughing. Hermione laughed with her.
"I'd say! Where's Charlie and Percy?" Hermione asked. Ginny shrugged her shoulders.
"Mum said they were on there way so who knows when they'll be here!" Ginny said.
"So me and your brother had a row before coming over here." Hermione finally said. Ginny looked at her shaking her head.
"Wow I acutally thought you guys were going for a record. This has been ya'll first row in about what? Two days?" Ginny scoffed. Hermione rolled her eyes at her.
"You know how your brother gets under my skin so easily." Hermione told her. Ginny nodded her head.
"Yeah I know he does but doesn't he do that to everybody?" Ginny asked smirking.
"Yeah that's true." Hermione said and laughed.
"There you girls are! We've been looking for you everywhere!" Fred said, followed by George.
"Yeah we were wanting to ask Hermione a question." George asked, that evil glint in his eye that the twins always got in their eyes just before they did or said something mischievous.
"Oh? And what might that be?" Hermione asked him. George looked at Fred and smirked smugly.
"Well were just wondering if you and Ron had... Well you know... Confessed your undying love for each other yet?" George asked. Hermione about fell out of her seat from the question.
"Excuse me?" Hermione asked shocked. She couldn't believe he asked her that!
"George you know that's..." Ginny started but Fred cut her off.
"Well Hermione?" He asked, leaning in a bit more from his seat. Hermione just looked at them all stunned.
"What in the world are you guys talking about?! You know me and Ron..." Hermione started but George now cut her off.
"Oh come off it Hermione! We all know you two love each other! It's obvious! You two are just to pig-headed to know yourselves!" George said. Fred nodded his head in agreement. Ginny was thinking about it then nodded her head in agreement along with Fred. Hermione stood up from her seat.
"Listen you two and Ginny! There is nothing, I mean nothing going on between me and Ron. There never has been and there..." Hermione was defending herself quite well she thought until once again George interrupted her.
"Don't say 'never will be' because we know that's not true Hermione!" He said. Hermione just gave them all glare, huffed, and stalked out of the living room back into the kitchen. She saw Ron immediately. He was smiling and laughing with Charlie. Gods he was so handsome. Who was Hermione kidding? She loved Ron with all her heart. She loved the man ever since they were kids. And he didn't even know.
Ohh what will happen next?! You will find out tomorrow soon!!
