ROAD TRIP

DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the characters, they belong to Ms. J.K.Rowling

A/N: This is kind of different than the stuff I normally write. It was actually inspired by a long car trip I had with two of my friends. It's silly and fun. I promise there will be some Ron and Hermione stuff, but not till a little later. I hope you enjoy!

"Bottled water?" Hermione asked.

"Check," Harry responded.

"Silverware?"

"Check."

"Sleeping bags?"

"Check."

"Flashlights?"

"What do we need those for Hermione! We-are-wizards!" Ron jumped in with a tone of frustration. It wasn't the first time he had responded that way either. He had said that about the matches and ice.

Hermione glanced up from her list of supplies and glared at her red-headed friend.

"I want us to use as little of magic as possible on this camping trip, how many times do I have to tell you?"

"Whatever, check," Ron responded moodily.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat in the small living room of the borrow making sure that they had everything they'd need for their camping trip. The Weasley floor was littered with crates of supplies, sleeping contraptions, and duffle bags.

The trio had successfully graduated from Hogwart's school of witchcraft and wizardry without any serious injuries and Harry had managed to vanquished the Dark Lord and become a savior of the wizarding world.

The last few months had been the happiest and most relaxed any of them had had in years. They had all decided a few weeks after graduation that they'd celebrate their victory by taking a road trip, and have some safe, fun, relaxed quality time with each other. Harry was thrilled about it too. He had never really traveled before and he couldn't think of anyone better to travel with then his best mates. Finally, all of the death and destruction was over and he could live a normal life. A road trip was the best way to start this life. They'd start off at the burrow and take a week long camping trip all the way down to Salisbury, where they planed on sight seeing the famous ancient wonder of Stonehenge.

"I think we've got more than enough packed Hermione," Harry said while yawning. He glanced up and the clock, it was already 12:13 in the morning.

Hermione sighed deeply and ran her finger down the list.

"I suppose your right; we should probably get to sleep," She replied lazily.

"Yeah, great idea! since someone wants to leave at eight A.M.!" Ron snapped.

Hermione glared at him once more. "The baby needs his nap," She hissed.

"Yep! One that should have started two hours ago!"

Harry laughed at his friends bickering. It was nice to know that not everything had changed after they had left school.

"Come on cranky," Harry said as he hoisted his best mate off the floor. "Let's get some sleep before the road trip Nazi beats you to a pulp."

"Ha, ha," Hermione said dully, "I'm waking you guys up at seven so we can pack and be out of here."

"Yes sir," Harry said as he and Ron headed up the rickety staircase to their room with Hermione not far behind, headed toward her own.

After all that they had been through together, Hermione knew that this trip would be the real test of friendship. No girl in their right mind would go camping across the country with two boys, and yes they were still very much boys, just big ones. She wouldn't trade them for anyone though. Never could she have imagined that she of all people would end up with the most loyal, brave, and caring best friends. Having two males as her best friends didn't do much for her in the love department though. Hermione never was in to the whole boy talk, strut around and catch a guy thing. Honestly, there was only ever one guy she had ever fancied and the chances of that ever working out as more than best mates, was extremely slim. She just hoped that a camping trip wouldn't create the perfect setting for an awkward situation between her and her favorite Weasley.

I know, this chapter was short, but it's just to get the story going. It will get much better I promise. Please take the time to review; I'd really love to know what you think! Thanks!
