~Ginny's POV~
I could hear a loud pop outside, and then a light knock on the door. Dropping everything I was doing I ran to the door and threw it open, revealing Hermione. She couldn't even say hello before I wrapped my arms around her.
"I've missed you so much 'Mione." I could feel her smile into my neck, "I've missed you too, Gin."
We pulled apart arms still around each other, just smiling at each other's presence. Hermione cocked her head to the side, "Are you going to let me in, or are we just going to hold each other all day?" Blushing I released her and allowed her in, "Would you like anything, we have wine, firewhisky and tea?" She smiled, "I would love to get hammered, but I'll take a tea for now, thanks." Smiling, I winked at her, "Coming right up."
While boiling the water Hermione called out, "Quite a big place for two people don't you think?" Hermione made her way to the kitchen looking at me, eyes questioning. I smiled, "Yes. I swear if Harry expects me to fill the 10 other bedrooms in this house with kids, he's wrong. I'd rather be below my mother's number of seven." Hermione laughed, "Ten bedrooms, really?"
I nodded, turning my back to Hermione to pour the tea, "And how bout you 'Mione? Where do you live?" She smiled, " Well I have a small flat in Hogsmeade. It overlooks the castle, and I've always loved the place. Yet I really would love to live in a house like this." I smiled now, my plan was working, Hermione asked, "So Gin, what do you do for a living?" I placed the tea bags into the mugs, dipping them slowly in and out, "Well I went for professional Quidditch, but I didn't make any teams because of my past with Tom Riddle. I just have been busy with Harry, but I am considering becoming an Auror. I don't like sitting in this big empty house alone. I just feel distant."
Hermione grabbed my hand, "Your never alone Gin, as long as you have me." I nodded squeezing her hand lightly, before giving her the tea, "Thanks 'Mione. It means a lot to know that your here. I wish you could live here, so I could at least see you more." We sat in the living room in comfortable silence for a bit, just drinking tea, "What if I could?" Hermione asked. I looked at her, "Excuse me," I smiled knowing where it was going, Hermione continued, "What if I could move in? I would pay rent or something, I just always wanted to live with my best friend." I smiled, "I'll convince Harry." We laughed, and continued our day.
