Ron and Harry were now walking along the narrow streets of Diagon Alley, behind Mrs. Weasley, Hermione, and Ginny. The three women would occasionally squeal at something they saw in a shop window. Of course the three weren't the only women squealing, many girls walked by Harry and immediately went into a fit of giggles at the sight of him. Much to Ginny's dislike, but Ron seemed to find it especially amusing.

"Ron! Harry! Stop dawdling! We have things to do today!" The boys immediately sped up, as to not upset Mrs. Weasley anymore. "I think I'll go into Flourish and Blotts and get your books. You kids go on ahead and meet me back here at five o'clock! Stay out of trouble, dears!"

"Ok, Mum," said Ginny, rolling her eyes.

Mrs. Weasley walked into the already crowded shop and the four were left on their own.

"Where do you guys wanna go?" Asked Ron.

"We already have all our school supplies, so we could go get something to drink?" Hermione suggested.

"I could go for a drink, it's so hot out!" Said Ginny.

They began walking down the street. The boys were still walking behind their girlfriends, who were having an apparently very secret conversation.

"Look at all these girls looking at Harry! I want to hex them…" Whispered Ginny.

"You'll do no such thing, Ginny! You'll only bring more attention to him. And besides, you know Harry wouldn't do anything. He probably doesn't even notice. He's never been very good with girls," Hermione noted.

"Not very good?! What's that supposed to mean!" Ginny said, her voice rising. "He was plenty good in the laundry room today…" her voice starting to sound distant, "In fact, he did this thing where-"

"Uuuugh! Ginny. Gross! I don't want to hear about that! He's like my brother…" Hermione whispered, "Seriously though… how far have you gotten with him?"

Ginny smiled, "We got pretty far today, probably the furthest. I was about to take my shirt off, but he stopped me. He said he wanted 'it,' honestly, that's what he called it, he wanted 'it' to be special. He didn't want Mum to walk in at any moment and catch us. And besides, I wouldn't have given it up in a laundry room." Hermione laughed, "I agree with him though, he's so great like that, you know? Always so noble. Which can be good and bad." Hermione smiled knowingly, "How far have you and Ron gotten?" Ginny asked curiously.

Hermione blushed and looked away. Ginny's mouth dropped open, knowing what her embarrassment must mean. Her eyes were growing wider by the second.

"Hermione Jean Granger! You haven't!" Her voice no longer a whisper.

"Shhh! Gin! I don't want the whole of the wizarding world to know!"

"When did this happen???" Her voice back to a whisper.

"Ummm… beginning of the summer," Hermione's blush deepening, "It was in the kitchen the night I first came to the Burrow… when we were home alone…" Ginny gasped, then laughed hysterically. Clutching at her sides, she fell to the ground. Hermione still quite embarrassed.

"Whoa, Gin! Calm down," Harry exclaimed, beginning to laugh at her form rolling on the street, "Geez, Hermione, next time I need to cheer up, I'm going to you." Soon the four teenagers, even Hermione, were all laughing hysterically, and were getting many weird looks from the passersby.

Once they recovered, Ron asked, "Ginny, what were you laughing at anyway?"

"Oh, nothing," sneaking a look at Hermione.

"Right."

"Women," Harry and Ron said under their breath.

They began walking again. All of a sudden they heard a burst of laughter coming from the girls, but they didn't know why. "Not again," Ron said.

"Hey, Ron! You and Hermione should go in there! They have plenty of things you guy's could use!" Ginny exclaimed, pointing at a shop to their right.

Ron saw what she was pointing at, and immediately blushed. It was a lengerie store. Harry was struggling to keep a straight face, but Hermione was having no trouble at all.

Harry snorted. Which set Ginny off. The couple started walking again, and Harry grabbed her left hand with his right. Hermione and Ron on the other hand, were still standing in the same spot, looking sheepish.

"Come on, you two!" Harry said over his shoulder, "Unless you want to be aloooone?" He put a lot of influence on the last word.

Ron seemed disgruntled by this comment, but grabbed Hermione's hand, anyway and they started walking with Harry and Ginny. The latter were still chuckling when they spotted a small café.

"Hey guys, let's go in there! It looks so cute!" Hermione said, who's mood seemed to have lightened.

The bell on the door jingled as they walked into the restaurant. They were seated by a young waitress who was, surprisingly, not at all interested in the Boy-Who-Lived, but instead, in Ron.

"Better watch out, Hermione. That girl is eyeing Ron. And there is a kitchen, right through that door," pointing to the swinging door the waitress just walked through, "And we all know that Ron has a thing for kitchens," Ginny winked.

"Hermione! You told her?!"

Harry looked confused, "Told her what?" Looking at Ron and Hermione, curiously.

"Oh nothing big, Harry," Ginny said casually behind her menu, "Just that Ron and Hermione had sex for the first time in the kitchen at the Burrow."

Harry choked on the water he was drinking, "Wha-what?"

"Yep," lowering her menu, "The night when the rest of the family went to pick you up from Grimmauld Place, they shagged." She smiled sweetly.

Hermione was hiding behind her menu, no doubt blushing.

"I can't believe that! You shagged instead of coming and picking me up! Some friends you are…" All the while, Harry was trying to keep a straight face. Trying to keep it so only Ron could hear, "But I don't blame ya, mate." Ron laughed. Hermione glared at him, apparently she had heard what he had said.

The waitress who had led them to their seats came over to their table.

"Hi, I'm Catriona, I'll be serving you today. Can I get you anything?" The waitress asked the four, putting her hand on Ron's shoulder. Her voice sounded like the noises Crookshanks made when taking a bath; annoying and high-pitched.

"You can get your hands off my boyfriend, for a start…" Hermione mumbled. Apparently 'Catriona' heard her. She glared at Hermione, but Hermione merely glared back, apparently done with hiding behind her menu. Ron seemed to sink into his seat. It was reminding him too much of sixth year. "I'll have a pumpkin juice."

"What about you, Sweetie?" She asked Ginny, as if she were five years old.

Ginny played along, "Ooo! Harry could I pleeeeease have ice cream?? Pretty please?? I promise I'll be good if you let me have ice cream!" She looked up at him with puppy dog eyes. The waitress smiled, but Ginny was done with the act, "I'll have a butterbeer," she said monotonously.

"Oh," the waitress said awkwardly, "What about you, Harry?" She apparently knew his name, but wasn't about to squeal at the sight of him, much to Harry's delight.

"Butterbeer as well, thanks," Harry replied.

She had apparently saved Ron for last, and asked him, quite seductively, "And you?"

"Oh, umm, I'll have a, er, pumpkin juice," Ron stuttered.

"Are you sure that's all you want? I- Whoops," she giggled, "I mean, we have a lot to offer here…" Now toying with his hair.

"Yes. That's all he wants," Hermione said sharply, tossing her hand off of him. Harry and Ginny seemed to be amused by the situation, because they were stifling their laughter behind their hands.

"Right," the waitress summoned the drinks, "Here you are. Have a nice lunch." She added brightly.

And that they did. For about an hour they talked and laughed about Catriona, quidditch, Hogwarts, and Ron and Hermione shagging. When Ron had paid, and not only did he pay, he got slipped Catriona's telephone number, who was apparently muggle-born, it was nearly four-fourty five.

They headed towards Flourish and Blotts, where they needed to meet Mrs. Weasley. She was already waiting for them, with everything the four needed for the next term at Hogwarts. They all apparated back to the Burrow soon after.

I'm not likin' this chapter too much but I hope you guys did!

Thank you so so much to the people who reviewed. They seriously help me write and cheer me up a whole lot. Constructive criticism and ssuggestions are always welcome!

It'll take me a while longer to update now since it's heading into a schoolweek. I'll be able to update more over the weekends though.

Sorry about the boring fluff in this chapter but it will hopefully get better in the next chapter. If you want action and actual plot, I wouldn't stick around and read this. Only fluff and happiness here!
