1Chapter 8
Dinner at the Weasleys was wonderful. Full of conversation and catching up. Hermione joined in on the family fun but in the back of her mind she was thinking about Ron.
' I wonder if he'll ever say anything?' She thought. She stole a glance at him sitting by his twin brothers and stuffing his face with mashed potatoes. Hermione chuckled quietly to herself.
"What's so funny?" Bill Weasley asked her. Hermione was caught off guard. She didn't know someone was watching her. She looked at him from across the table and smiled.
"Oh nothing, I just thought of something that's all." She said.
"Must have been something really funny to have that look on your face." Bill inquired again.
"What look? Bill honestly I was just thinking of something and it was funny. So I laughed." Hermione said laughing at him now.
"If you say so." He drawled out and began a conversation with Percy. Hermione shook her head and turned her attention back to Ron. He was now laughing with his mouth opened. Hermione made a disgusted face but smirked in return.
'It doesn't matter if he's laughing with his mouth open or cursing, he's still handsome and just... Well, just Ron.' Hermione thought.
"Hermione?" A voice called her name, it sounded so distant. She was lost in thought and whoever was talking to her noticed. Hermione suddenly was being shaken lightly. She snapped out of it. Mrs. Weasley was standing over her, beaming down at her.
"Oh sorry Molly." Hermione apologized.
"Oh no worries dear. I was wondering if I could speak with you for a moment?" Mrs. Weasley asked her. Hermione nodded and stood up from the table. The two women walked inside the kitchen, the laughing of the family behind them.
"What is it that you wanted to talk to me about Molly?" Hermione asked her.
"I was acutally wondering what you were doing this upcoming weekend?" Mrs. Weasley asked her smiling.
"Oh, um.. Well I don't know, why?" Hermione asked caught off guard.
"I was actually wondering if you, Harry and Ron would house sit for us? Ginny of course will be here also and just you four will be here I promise! You see me and Arthurs anniversary is coming up and he's been researching a muggle vacation spot. Somewhere called Hawaii and he taking me there!" Mrs. Weasley explained excited at the mention of Hawaii.
"Oh Molly that sounds wonderful! Has Arthur shown you pictures of Hawaii? It's very beautiful." Hermione asked. Molly visibly shook with excitement.
"Yes! It is lovely! I'm so excited!" Molly exclaimed. She suddenly gave Hermione a big bear hug.
"Uh Molly I can't breath." Hermione wheezed. Mrs. Weasley immediately let her go.
"Sorry dear." Mrs. Weasley said sheepishly.
"It's alright." Hermione said.
"So will you house sit for us? Ginny, Harry and Ron already said they would." Mrs. Weasley said, looking anxious for Hermiones answer.
'The house all to ourselves? Maybe this is the chance or sign for something to happen between me and Ron.' Hermione thought.
"Hermione?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"Oh yes, yes Molly I'll help house sit for you." Hermione said smiling at her. Mrs. Weasley gave a little squeal of delight and hugged Hermione again, but softer.
"Oh thank you dear! You will have a splendid time!" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed.
"Your welcome Molly. I'm sure I will." Hermione said and returned Mrs. Weasleys hug. Mrs. Weasley let go of her and made her way back out to the back yard where everyone was done eating and now they were all just talking. Mrs. Weasley made her way to Ginny who was laughing at Ron who had chocolate pudding smeared on his mouth.
"Ginny may I have a word with you?" Mrs. Weasley asked. Ginny wiped her eyes from laughing so hard at Ron who just made the mess worse. She followed her mother a ways away to some shrubs by the brick wall.
"Yeah Mum?" Ginny asked.
"Hermione said yes to helping house sit with you lot." Mrs. Weasley said grinning. Ginny rubbed her hands together and an evil grin came across her lips.
"Then let operation head over heels in love begin."
Ohh what will happen next?! Until next time my faithful readers!!
