"Oh! Hermione..." Ginny smiled as she opened the big front door and saw Hermione standing there with a handbag.

"Hey, Ginny" Hermione smiled back.

"Come in" She said gesturing inside the house and Hermione entered inside the house "Take a seat".

"It's alright, Gin. The flight is about to depart" She said pointing at her watch.

"Oh!" Ginny said and sheepishly looked up the stairs "I wonder where he's heading".

"We are filming an advertisement in France" Hermione said with a tight smile and an apologetic expression.

"You going with him?" Ginny asked a little relived.

"Yes, I am... Sonia, Seamus, Ron... We'll be gone for two weeks" She replied smiling.

"Hermione... Can I ask you a favour?".

"Sure. Ginny" Hermione said curiously.

"I'm not even certain he has my phone number" The red head woman said sadly before Ron came down the stairs with Rose in his hands.

He kissed his daughter on the forehead and dropped her down, passing his sister without a glance, but lingering on the doorsteps before he walked out getting into the waiting cab "Please phone me as soon as you arrive." She asked Hermione, her eyes pleading.

"Ginny, you needn't worry; I've got this" She said reassuringly.

"OK..."

Hermione kissed Rose on the cheek then hugged "Bye Ginny, bye Rosy" she said waving and following Ron into the cab.

"Bye..." Both the girls waved back together.

They arrived at the airport half an hour before their flight "Has Seamus reached?" Ron asked - flinging his bag strap over his right shoulder- to Hermione as they walked together.

"He must have..." Hermione said dragging her rolling bag behind her.

"If he's got the boarding pass, he should go in... why wait?-" he stopped suddenly as he spotted them waiting together along with her. Sonia.

As they neared he heard Dean voicing out "How can one be a"director" if one can't be punctual?-" Ron gave a fake cough and Dean stopped his rant, backtracking to stand behind Seamus.

"Oh, he's come..." Seamus cheered.

"Hi! How are you?" Hermione asked Sonia.

"I've been good..." Sonia replied.

"Hi, Seamus" Ron said smiling before he turned to look at Sonia.

"Sonia... Meet Mr. Ronald" Hermione said pointing between Ron and Sonia smiling "Ron... Sonia".

"You look familiar..." Sonia said lifting her eyebrows and smiling innocently, Seamus giggled jumping up and down.

"Come on, it's late... let's go!" Seamus said moving them along.

"He seems in a mighty rush! Let's go." Dean mocked pulling Sonia's and his bags.

"Come on... come on!" Sonia, Seamus and Dean walked in front followed by Ron and Hermione.

"How arrogant! She claims I am "familiar". Ron murmured to Hermione, who rolled her eyes and smiled.

"The next morning they were at the restaurant they looked for near the shooting site, booking their rooms on the counter. Seamus booked for his, Dean and Seamus.

Ron booked for his and Hermione's room next to each other's "Seamus, order hot water for me.." Dean said as he dragged his bags to the elevators.

"Get lost!" Seamus said loudly from at the counter without even looking back.

"Hey Hermione. Your keys..." Ron said handing Hermione her room keys "I am going to the restaurant. Join me

and we can plan the shoot..." He suggested.

"Two minutes...I'll go to the room and then join you" She said and Ron nodded his head walking ahead to reach the roof top restaurant.

He sat on a table, greeted by the waitress and sat waiting for Hermione as Sonia and Dean entered the restaurant "Oh! Wow... What snow!" Dean howled looking around at the scenes of white snow sorrounding them everywhere "I'm gonna take some pictures and

send them to my girlfriend..." He said and started clicking his DSLR camera.

Sonia walked directly to Ron "I'm also hungry. Can I join you, please?"

"Absolutely, why not?" He said with a fake smile.

"OK..." She sat down at the only single seat across from him "Life sure is peculiar, isn't it?...I never imagined we'd be in Switzerland together, did I...?" She asked flirting.

"Yes, that's true" Ron said uninterested.

"What conclusions can you draw from this?" She asked again cheerfully "We are here because of destiny..." She said dreamily.

"I don't have such beliefs..." Ron laughed at her absurdity.

"Sonia... On Facebook and Twitter, people have already described you as "open" and "easy"..." Dean warned, after hearing the conversation standing besides their table "They'll call you worse things if you don't calm down".

"Be quiet, Dean. I'm talking to Ron about life..." She said annoyed "Just give us some space" She said at the exact moment Hermione walked in looking stunned to see Sonia sitting across Ron in his table, in HER chair!.

"My God! It's becoming far too hot outside" Dean fanned and went back to clicking pictures around.

"Hey Hermione, please sit down" Ron said gesturing to the nearby chair.

"It's OK... I don't want to bother you, no..." Hermione said with disappointment etched on her face "I'll return later".

"No issue..." Ron insisted.

"No, it's fine" She said walking out, looking back once more, this time her expression hurt.

Ron didn't know why he felt his chest tighten or his stomach fluturred as he saw her hurt and disappointed look but decided to brush it off.

"Why? Is it challenging to be by yourself with me?" Sonia asked glaring at him.

"No, it's not at all like that. For the shoot, Hermione and I were going to meet a few technicians" he explained and she smiled.

The time came for them to meet the new technicians and the male model acting on the commercial. They were walking down the pavement when Ron stopped as he spotted Hermione following him slowly.

"What is it Hermione?" He asked a little concerned.

"Nothing... just nothing" She stuttered shivering, her clothes are a little thinner than usual.

"Follow me" he asked immediatly and they walked into a clothing shop in a few minutes and Ron brought her a thick jumper "Put it on right now" he suggested and Hermione smiled softly.

"Thanks" She said walking slowly behind him as she looked at him fondly.

"What...?" He asked turning around again concerned "Do you also want shoes?" He asked and Hermione burst out laughing.

They met up with the technicians, set up their date and plan for the shooting to begin the next day. They all had a great time together, having coffee and talking about their experiences before it was time to go.

Ron and Hermione walked out before Ron whirled around checking his wrist and noticing his missing watch "I merely forgot!" He said before Hermione lifted his watch.

"Your Watch?"

"Thanks" Ron smiled impressed "So be it with you "I often forget things" he said and Hermione shook her head smiling.

The remaining night was spent with Sonia, Seamus, Dean, Ron having drinks on the bar counter while Hermione sipped her cup of juice watching Dean and Ron- joking with each other- with her head supported by her hand and smiling.
