Somehow, it seemed, everything I'd ever wanted came to me when it was raining.
Chapter Five: Don't Forget Me
Hermione POV
Ron, Harry and I had safely found our way into a cave and out of the rain. We magically dried ourselves off and I produce a nice warm fire.
"Knock, Knock," said Ron.
I rolled my eyes at Harry who shrugged. "Who's there?"
"Banana." Ron said.
"Banana who?"
"Knock, knock."
"Who's there?" I asked.
"Banana."
"Banana who?"
"Knock, knock."
"Who's there?" I asked with half a mind to slap him if he said it again.
"Banana."
Seeing my distress Harry replied this time. "Who's there?"
"Hey!" exclaimed Ron. "Not fair!"
"Fine," I said. "Who's there?"
"Orange," he said with an evil grin.
"Orange who?" I asked.
"Orange you glad I didn't say banana?!" Ron said and burst into a fit of laughter.
"Ron. You do know that its not all that funny, don't you?"
"What are you talking about? These Muggle jokes are genius!" he said.
Well. Two could play at that game. "Okay, then. Tell me another."
"Hang on. Let me think for a minute," he said.
I eyed Harry letting him know Ron was getting it. He flashed me a smile letting me know he was game.
"Okay," Ron said. "Got one. Knock, Knock."
"Come in!" I called.
"Wait a minute. That's not fair!" Ron whined. "We're redoing it. Knock, knock."
"Go away!" Harry snarled.
"What?!" yelled Ron. "That is soooo not fair."
"Anything goes with knock, knock jokes," I told him.
"Whatever," he said and went off to sulk in the corner.
Knowing it would make him jealous I got out some hot chocolate and scones from my bag. Harry and I began to heat them over the fire. Just as I'd known he would Ron slowly edged back toward the fire and us. "Want some, Ron?" I asked.
I saw some hesitation in his face but he took a mug of hot chocolate and three scones. "Thanks," he muttered.
"You are very welcome," I replied.
We sat in silence for a minute while we finished eating. I drank the last drops of my hot chocolate. Game On.
"Ron?" I asked sweetly.
He let out a belch. "Woops. 'Scuse me," he laughed. "What is it Hermione?"
"Do you promise you won't ever forget me?"
"Forget you? How could I?" he asked obviously insulted.
"So you'll remember me in two seconds?" I asked.
"Of coarse."
"And in two minutes? And two days?"
"Couldn't forget you that fast," he told me.
"And a week and a year?"
"Sure."
"Even ten years?" I asked.
"Forever," he promised.
"Good. Thanks, Ron," I said.
"Welcome," he replied.
"Hey, Ron?" I asked.
"Yeah?"
"Knock, Knock."
He grinned, "Who's there?"
I pouted. "You already forgot?!"
"Hey…wait…what the…?" he jumped to his feet and so did I. Harry laughed. "You're gonna pay missy!" he yelled and chased me out of the cave.
"Help!" I screamed. "Harry, help me."
Ron knocked me to the ground. I laughed. "That wasn't funny. I was being completely serious. I'm never going to forget you Hermione Granger. Not ever. I love you too much."
I smiled. "I know."
