A/N: Hello, my loves! Enjoy the new installment of this story that you all have decided to read :)

Hermione watched as Harry, Ginny and Ron mounted their brooms in the middle of the make-shift Quidditch pitch in the Weasleys' back yard. Hermione was sitting down on the grass and watching the trio get ready to race around the pitch. Hermione still didn't see the point of the point of the race, but she still came out to watch, having nothing better to do. She had already packed to leave for Australia the next day, and she was happy to spend the day with her friends before she left for the rest of the month.
The trio of flyers flew into the air in the middle of the pitch, and they floated in the air for a few moments. Then, they pushed forward, zooming around the Quidditch pitch. Harry was in the lead the whole time, but Ginny was always right on his heels. Right before they crossed the finish line, Ginny pushed ahead of Harry, and won the race. Ron was in last the whole time, but he wasn't too far behind.
Hermione smiled when they got to the ground and watched as Ginny jumped up and down with excitement, Harry watching her with a goofy grin on his face, and Ron walking up behind Harry secretly, and tackling him. Hermione laughed as she watched the two boys rolling around and fighting playfully, like puppies who fight when they play with each other. Hermione got up and walked over to her three care-free friends.
"Hey guys," Hermione said when she walked up, "congrats on winning, Gin'."
"Thanks! These two idiots should not not doubt my amazing abilities," Ginny teased.
Harry pushed Ron off of himself, and jumped upward. "FREEDOM!" he screamed, glad to be free from Ron's tackle. Hermione and Ginny laughed at the boys and sat down on the grass next to Ron, and Harry quickly fallowed.
"So, Hermione, are ya' ready to leave?" Ginny asked with a sad smile.
"Yep, got my ticket and I packed yesterday," Hermione answered. She looked over and Harry and Ron and noticed how they both had sad looks on their faces, and were making puppy-dog eyes towards her.
"You're not going, guys. I need to do this on my own." Hermione stated, and Harry and Ron stopped making puppy-dog faces and just scowled at her.
"Hermione can do things on her own!" Ginny said, with a smile toward Hermione, and Hermione nodded.
"We know," Ron said with a sigh, "doesn't mean we don't want to help."
"Ron, that's not exactly doing something on her own," Harry replied.
"Whatever," Ron mumbled under his breath.
"Anyway," Hermione said, "how do you boys feel about getting beaten by Ginny?"
The boys grumbled and droned on about their excuses for loosing as Ginny sat there with a huge grin on her face. The four friends sat their until dark, laughing and talking with each other.

"Here we are," Mr. Weasley said sadly as he pulled up the car to the entrance to the airport on the rainy Wednesday in which Hermione was scheduled to leave. Mr. Weasley was sad to see Hermione go, he had come to think of her as a second daughter over the years that she and Ron had been friends. He liked having someone who could talk to him about muggle contraptions, and explain the contraptions to him too.
"Thanks, Mr. Weasley," Hermione said, feeling the tears forming in her eyes already. Ron, Harry, Ginny, Luna and Neville had come to the airport to see her off, and Mr. Weasley had driven them. No one thought it was a good idea to apparate to an airport full of muggles, so they had driven.
Hermione got out of the car, following the rest of the gang who had come to see her leave. Ron had grabbed her medium-sized luggage bag and was leading the group into the airport. Hermione went over to get her luggage onto the airplane and checked in, and walked back to her friends to say goodbye for the month. Before Hermione could say anything, Ginny had run into her and gave her a gigantic, bone-crushing hug that brought both girls to tears.
"I'm going to miss you so much, 'Mione," Ginny whispered into Hermione's ear while they were still hugging.
"I'm going to miss you too. But don't worry, I'll be back before you can miss me," Hermione whispered back with a teary smile.
The two girls shared one more squeeze, and they separated, sniffling and wiping their tears away from their cheeks. Hermione had always wanted a sister growing up, and Ginny was as close to a sister as anyone could get. She had helped Hermione through so much, including her troubles with Ron, and Hermione had helped Ginny through even more, including her troubles with Harry.
"I'll write," Hermione said to Ginny with a smile.
"And I'll write back," Ginny replied.
Hermione chuckled lightly while she moved over and hugged Luna tightly.
"Watch out for the Blander-wrocks," Luna said in her dreamy voice.
"Blander-wrocks?" Hermione asked, curious to what new creature Luna had thought up next.
"They wait for foreigners to arrive in a country, and they follow them around, causing them to have bad luck. The only way to get rid of them is to drink Liquid Luck, but I don't think you have much of that, so just be careful," Luna said, secretly fighting back tears. Luna didn't particularly like crying, and she most defiantly didn't like people knowing she was crying.
"I'll watch out for them," Hermione replied, not bothering to argue with her about the existence of the so-called 'Blander-wrocks.'
Luna ran forward and hugged Hermione tight once more, then backed away, wiping her eyes quickly to hide her tears. Luna wanted to stay happy for Hermione, so she would saver her tears for her pillow.
"Hermione! I'm going to miss you so much!" Neville cried out as he raced Hermione and embraced her tightly.
"And I'll miss you," Hermione said back, and hugged Neville just as tight. Neville had always been amazing friend and person, and Hermione was going to miss him very much.
"Don't forget me!" Harry said after Neville had let go of Hermione. Harry walked forward and wrapped his arms around her, and she wrapped hers around him. Harry lifted her off of the ground a little, so her feet were a few inches off of the ground. Hermione let out a little chuckle as Harry set her back down, but they still didn't let go of each other.
Hermione felt her tears fall down faster as she hugged Harry. She and Harry were best friends, like brother and sister. They had never been away from each other for long, and Hermione knew her heart was going to ache because she won't be able to talk to him everyday.
Harry squinted his eyes shut, not wanting tears to fall. He knew that it was a little childish to cry because his best friend was leaving for a little while, but he couldn't help it. She had left Hogwarts for winter and spring vacations, and he had not cried when she had left, and when they went their separate ways for summer vacation he didn't cry. Maybe it was because they had just been through a war together, or some other reason that Harry didn't know, but Harry felt his tears start to fall, and quickly rushed to wipe them away.
"You better write!" Hermione exclaimed while they were still hugging.
"Every chance I get," Harry said with a chuckle as he backed away.
Hermione looked away from Harry and towards Ron, and felt her heart start to ache already. She hated the thought of being away from him for a month. Ron was looking strait back into her eyes and walking towards her.
"Hey guys, look, a distraction!" Ginny exclaimed as she pointed in the opposite direction.
"Yeah! Let's go and check it out!" Harry said as he walked towards where Ginny had been pointing, and everyone followed.
Hermione laughed at her crazy friends as Ron stood in front of her, looking down into her brown eyes with his perfect blue ones. Hermione jumped up on her tip-toes and wrapped her arms around Ron's neck, and he grabbed Hermione's waist and hugged her tightly.
"I can still come, you know," Ron said sadly as he hugged his girlfriend tighter.
"It's a full flight Ron, you can't, and I wouldn't let you anyway," Hermione whispered.
"I know, but it was worth a shot," Ron said with a chuckle as he pulled back a bit to kiss Hermione on the top of her head. He felt Hermione shake a little bit with laugher. Ron smiled, he loved making her laugh. Ron thought that her laugh was the most amazing sound in the world.
"I'm going to miss you, so much," Hermione said with a sigh.
"And I'll be missing you a million times more," Ron whispered back, knowing that that still didn't show how much he was going to miss her.
Hermione didn't believe if that was possible, because she knew that she was going to miss Ron more than anyone could imagine. She tiled her head up and kissed Ron lightly on the lips, and then backed away from him, looking at her watch.
"I'm a little behind schedule," Hermione said, tears still in her eyes.
Ron just rolled his eyes and kissed her once more.
"Goodbye," Ron said, as she started to walk away,
"Goodbye," Hermione said, and she sent a wave to the rest of the gang.
Ron watched her walk towards some sort of machine that made stairs move downward. He remembered his father talking about it, but Ron couldn't remember their names. He stood planted in his spot until the very tip of her head could no longer be seen, and he turned away and walked out the doors of the airport, already missing Hermione more than she would ever know.
A/N: If anyone was wondering, yes, I did make up Blander-wrocks.
I hope you liked the little bit of Romione fluff!
