Chapter Two

Hermione had been home for about two weeks and had no contact with Ginny except for the occasional phone call, or owl note. But Hermione rather cherished this time alone to think, about how accepting Ginny to her would change everything. Her relationship with both Harry and Ron, the other Weasleys and herself.

"I wish someone could help me figure this out." She asked herself. She was walking through Diagon Alley looking for a good book to read for summer, until someone, a hooded figure sneaking out of Borgin and Burks. Hermione quickened her step to see who it was, more to see if it was Draco Malfoy. She didn't get a good look but she could make out that it was a female with dark curly hair and red nail polish. They young witch didn't know what was coming over her, she snuck behind the shadows following the hooded figure until a clearing in the alley came and she saw, saw with her own eyes one of the most dangerous people she'll ever meet, Bellatrix Lestrange! She hid behind the wall and let out a small gasp. Slowly craning her head around the corner to see if it was safe she saw the Deatheater looking for her she ran not knowing if she was seen or not. She rushed home and called Ginny who went with her mother to pick the girls up. Unbeknownst to Hermione she had been seen.

"Don't you worry sweetie I can help you with that." She whispered to herself with that smile on her face.

…xxxxxx…

"Sorry to call so abruptly Mrs. Weasley, but I was going absolutely mad back home." She gave her a bone crushing hug as if they hadn't seen each other in years. She and Ginny waved shyly to each other.

"Hermione do you fancy taking a walk before dinner? It won't be for another half hour." She looked at Molly who nodded cheerfully.

"Sure, I'm sure the fresh air will be good for me, I've been an absolute bookworm since we arrived home from school. It there anything I can do Mrs. Weasley?" she did like to help out after all.

"Not right now dearie, come back a bit early to help me set the table now dears." And hurried away to the kitchen. The girls headed out the back door and headed down one of the trails Ginny found.

"So why'd you call me and rush to see me it's only been a few weeks. I mean not that I didn't want you here. I only mean…" each word came out more thick and nervous as the last making Ginny sound like a raving mad lunatic, of course Hermione understood her perfectly.

"Ginny you're turning a lovely shade of red, please I understand. About the, encounter we had the other day, I just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed it very much, and maybe we could do it again sometime." The words were almost mute, a mere whisper meant only for the ears that she had inched towards. Her breath was short and shallow as Ginny turned and pressed her lips against the older witch in front of her. Arms snaked around each other as auburn hair and honey gold shone together in the fading light as the golden summer sun melted behind the horizon.

"I think we'd better be off now. Mum did ask for a snag of help for dinner." Slowly and reluctantly they untangled their arms and walked back close together hands touching.

"Right you girls are just on time to help me set the table." The two girls shared a smile before Molly started asking questions about Hermione and her parents. She called the rest of the clan down to the dinner table whilst the two witches seated themselves close together. The twins and Ron came down noisily down the stairs arguing about the best Quiddich team.

"Oi! Hermoine what're you doing here?" he yelled clearly surprised to see his friend..

"Ronald there's no reason to yell at the dear she just came to spend some time with your sister for the summer." She finished putting the food on the table and seated herself. "Now where's your father gotten to?" she wondered out loud.

"He said he'd take dinner late some important work but he wouldn't tell us what about." Fred explained while serving himself. Ron sat in the corner obviously upset that Hermione hadn't come see him right away. After all he had been wanting to talk to Hermoine alone now for weeks but Harry seemed to be getting into trouble left and right no one had time for such matters.

"Oh that man." And she chuckled, "Ok dears dig in." the most of the meal went on in an awkward silence save Fred and George bickering about some nonsense, honestly Molly never listened to closely these days.

"That was a delicious meal Mrs. Weasley. Thank you so much, can I help you clean up?" Hermione did it every time whilst the boys walked away and Ginny hung in the shadows.

"No no dear I'm perfectly alright, now are you staying with Ginny or shall I prepare the guest room for you? I know how you teenage girls are full of gossip." she said with a small giggle.

"I think I'll stay with Ginny if that's alright with her." Hermione cast a glance at the other girl.

"Well that's fine with me." Ginny squeaked out.

"Well that's all settled then. Ginnys been absolutely bored without you dear. She kept wondering when you were going come visit. She's been obsessing about it since she arrived home from Hogwarts and…"

"Mother please you're embarrassing me!" she turned cherry red from her ears to her neck.

"Sorry dear." She smiled obviously happy to fulfill her mother duties of embarrassing at least on of her children.

"Let's go Hermione. I'm sorry about my mum, you wonder out loud to yourself and suddenly t's obsessed." She chuckled and ushered Hermione into her room before closing the door. "So how's your summer going?"

"Really it's going quite well of course I have been taking this time to catch up on my reading for next year." she explained as they walked into the room.

"Your such a bookworm that's all you ever do. You really should take a break." She walked over to her window and opened it to welcome the cool night into the stuffy room then made her way back to her friend.

"Well I'm here with you now, maybe you can help me relax. What should we be doing, reading and gossiping, cards?" Hermione knew she sounded crazy but couldn't stop herself.

"Ok maybe we should shower first you go ahead, I'll get you some towels." She took her hand and led her to the bathroom although there was really no need, Hermione knew her way. "I'll be here when you come out." She smiled and left.

…..xxxx…...

"Well well now girly thinking you could hide from me? Don't worry I'll find you." The laughing started, and the wind whipped around outside.

Back at the Burrow

Hermione had gotten her water to the hot temperature she liked and stepped in. A hot shower after a long day was most defiantly appreciated. As the warm water cascaded around her the steam clouded the room and her mind wandered. What was it about Ginny that excited her. 'Now look at where you've gotten yourself alone in Ginny's room and very well in her bed! Good one Granger.' So engulfed in her thoughts she didn't hear the door creak open. In walked Ginny with fresh towels, as Hermione finished up her shower. The handles turned and out came a very naked Hermione.

"Ginny what are you doing here? I'm naked!" she tried to cover herself with her hands, while Ginny stood there entranced by the creamy cool skin in front of her. "Ginny are you listening to me?" she demanded.

"Oh uh Hermione I'm so sorry I um didn't know that you were out or else I would have uh knocked." She couldn't help but run her eyes down the gorgeous girl standing in front of her. Damp honey hair plastered to her shoulders, her eyes still smokey from the steam, perfection. Hermione however, did notice she was being checked out. She grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her.

"I'll be right out, meet you in your room I suppose." She said nervously.

"Right sorry no rush." The redhead walked out into the hallway her heart pounding.

'Hermione what are we gonna do?" Ginny wondered to herself.

While in the bathroom Hermione wondered the same.
