The moment that they stepped off the airplane Ron was relieved. He was ecstatic that the nightmare was over. What he wasn't smart enough to realize was that once they found Hermione's parents, they would have to get right back on the plane.
"Hermione, explain to me what this tax thing does."
"Well, Ron, a taxi is a car that'll drive you where ever you want." She would never get tired of explaining muggle things to him.
"So if I wanted to go back to the Burrow it could take me?"
"No Ron! A taxi can't fly over water! You can be so thick sometimes!"
"But that's why you love me," Ron said sweetly as he pulled Hermione closer into a loving embrace.
"Sure. Let's go with that." They both immediately started laughing.
After waiting a few minutes, a taxi finally showed up.
"Clearwater Hotel please," Hermione said as they stepped inside.
They sat in the backseat quietly until they arrived at the Clearwater Hotel. Before they left, they had decided that they had enough money to stay at the hotel for about two weeks. They just hoped that it wouldn't take longer than that. After Hermione thanked and paid the taxi driver they walked into the hotel. The walls were painted a sea green that contrasted with the oak furniture. Hermione noticed the check-in desk and they walked over.
"Hello how can I help you?" the hotel manager asked.
"Um we have reservations under Granger," Hermione said.
"Oh welcome Mr. and Mrs. Granger. Here is your key to room 207."
Ron was about to correct the lady that he was not Mr. Granger before Hermione shushed him.
"Honestly Ron it doesn't matter, let's go."
They took the stairs to the second floor (Ron didn't trust the elevator) and used the key to open room 207. Once they opened the door they saw the same sea green paint and the oak furniture like in the lobby. After they walked further into the room however both of their faces turned red as they saw that there was only one bed.
"Oh honestly," Hermione exclaimed, "I made sure I booked a room with two double sized beds instead of one king. I'm going to make them give us another room!"
"Come on Hermione. Like you said earlier 'it doesn't matter.'" Ron smirked because he knew he had won.
It was already 5:00 P.M. and they realized that it was too late to start their search tonight.
"Hey Hermione. I was reading this booklet and it says that there's a restaurant downstairs. Why don't we go there for dinner tonight?"
"Like on a date?" Ron had not taken her on a real date yet.
"Yeah sure," he said as his ears turned the infamous Weasley shade of red, "Why don't we get changed into some fancier clothes and head downstairs."
Hermione grabbed her beaded bag and headed to the bathroom. She had no clue what to wear. Ron, on the other hand, had already grabbed his nicest clothes before Hermione had left. He put on his black suit and his Chudley Cannons tie. He brushed his hair and then sat on the bed for Hermione to be ready to go. Hermione wanted to surprise Ron. She grabbed the dress Ginny had gotten her and put it on. She reapplied her makeup, and placed her hair in a braid that went down her back.
As she stepped out of the bathroom, Ron was dumbfounded. Hermione was in a short red dress that left just enough to the imagination. She was mentally thanking Ginny for this early birthday present. The dress had a V in the front and showed just the right amount of cleavage. It looked perfect on her.
"Blimey Hermione. You look gorgeous." Ron took a step closer to Hermione and took her hand. This was going to be the best date ever.
I hope you liked it. Yes, the next chapter will be their date. :) Please review!
