Chapter 6
Ron and Hermione were with Mrs. Granger running errands with her for the day.
"I don't think this plan of yours is going to work, you know," Ron whispered to Hermione.
"Plan? I don't know what you're talking about," Hermione said nonchalantly, patting down her curly brown hair.
Ron rolled her eyes, "Of course you do. Why else would we have come with your mum if we don't really even need to?"
Hermione shushed him, "So, Wen and Olivia will spend some time together."
"How do you know if that's going to happen? Olivia might decide to stay home with her grandmother today and they might not even see each other. And, even if she goes over to your house, what if Wen doesn't tell her that we've gone out and they don't see each other and she just goes home? Or he could just tell her and then she'd go home. They're probably not going to talk more than that or spend the day together."
"Details, details," Hermione pushed those statements away, "Besides, even if he just tells her that we're gone, that would still be talking."
"Okay, but those two are so awkward with each other and hardly talk if Georgie's or we're not there to start a conversation."
"I wouldn't be so sure about that," Hermione said, slyly.
Ron turned to look at her, "What do you know that I don't?"
"Right when we went inside and you went to go take a shower, I was watching out the window to make sure Olivia was okay. And, I saw her talking to Wen outside. Without Georgie! And then, I saw them walking together in the direction of her house. So, he walked her home. I'd say that they're more comfortable with each other now. I'll talk to Olivia later."
"Hermione, Ron, over here!" Mrs. Granger called, a few blocks ahead. Deep in conversation, Ron and Hermione had stopped walking all together and didn't realize that Mrs. Granger was so far away. The two hurried to catch up and they all walked into the store together.
A few hours later, they were all done with their errands and went back to the house. After bringing all the groceries inside, Hermione told her mum, "Mum, Ron and I are going to go over to Olivia's and see if she's there."
"All right, do you know where the house is?"
"Yeah, Olivia showed me yesterday on our way home."
"Okay, only if you're sure," Mrs. Granger said.
Hermione rolled her eyes, "I'm sure. See you later." Hermione gave her mum a kiss on the cheek and she and Ron headed out to Olivia's house.
When they got there, Hermione knocked on the door and Olivia's Gram answered.
"Hello?" Olivia's Gram opened the door and stepped outside. She smiled at Ron and Hermione, "May I help you?"
"It's Hermione," Hermione shook Olivia's Gram's hand.
"Hermione," Gram said warmly, "I remember you. Who's this young man?"
"Oh, this is Ron Weasley, from my school. He's staying with me for the summer."
"Nice to meet you, Ron," Gram said, shaking his hand.
"Nice to meet you, too," Ron said politely back.
"Does Olivia happen to be home?" Hermione asked.
Gram's face creased with worry, "No. I thought she would be with you, dear."
"No, we went out. We assumed she'd be with you or Wen, but we decided to check here first. So, I guess she's with Wen. Don't worry, she's fine."
"All right. But, can you tell her to come home soon when you see her?" Gram asked.
"Of course," Hermione answered.
Gram gave them one last smile and closed the door and the two went over to Wen's house.
Hermione knocked on the door and Wen answered. Wen's hair was all wet. He shook it out a little and ran his fingers through his hair, "Hey Hermione. Hey Ron."
"Hey Wen. Does Olivia happen to be here?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah, she's in the kitchen. Come on in."
Ron and Hermione stepped in beside him.
"By the way, why's your hair all wet?"
Wen chuckled, "We just finished baking cupcakes and while we were washing the dishes Georgie got a little excited with the spray nozzle."
They walked into the kitchen where they found Olivia soaked head to toe talking to Georgie who was holding the spray nozzle up to Olivia's face. They were both laughing.
Hermione burst out laughing, "I see what you mean."
Georgie was giggling.
"Georgie!" Wen scolded.
"Its fine," Olivia said, pulling her hair out of her now wet bun, and ringing it out into the sink.
Wen's face turned a little red, "Do you want to borrow a shirt of mine? You're really wet."
"Um," Olivia looked down at herself and realized that she was wearing a white T-shirt and she was soaked. She began to blush furiously, "Sure…"
"I-I'll b-be right back," Wen said, heading to his room.
"Ron, stand outside the doorway," Hermione ordered.
He put his hands up and began to walk out of the kitchen, "Okay, I'm not looking!"
"Well, that was embarrassing," Olivia said.
"Don't worry. It's not that bad. You're not really showing anything, you're just super wet."
Olivia sighed.
Georgie began to pipe up, "Is Livy sad?"
"No," Olivia told the little girl, giving her a hug, "I'm fine."
"Okay, good," the little girl turned to Hermione, "We made cupcakes. Want one?" Georgie rushed to the other side of the kitchen where there were a stack of cupcakes on a plate on the side of the counter. She grabbed one of the top and handed it to Hermione, "Here. They're yummy. Does Ron want one, too?" Georgie went to grab another one and went out of the kitchen to give Ron his.
They could hear her chattering, "It's chocolate with vanilla icing. This one has sun sprinkles, I was going to do all hearts but then Wen said that…"
Hermione and Olivia looked at each other and laughed.
"She's going to talk Ron's ear off," Hermione said.
Wen walked in, "Um, here," he handed Olivia a T-shirt looking anywhere, but her.
Olivia headed to the bathroom to change.
Chapter 6 finally! Sorry for that whole wet T-shirt thing…I'm not even sure why that came up. She wasn't showing or anything so it's fine. It was just the fact. I hope you enjoyed this and please read and review! Sorry for not updating in a while, school started! So much homework! By the way, Adam Hicks is way more amazing in person!
