Author's Note: This takes place after their 6th year. They aren't hunting for Horcruxes. Please read and leave a review.


¨See you soon Harry!¨

Hermione gave him a big hug before giving Ron a hug and running over to her parents. Ron's ears were bright red as he walked over to Harry.

¨Don't worry about the Dursley's, we will come and get you as soon as we can mate!¨ he said.

¨Great! I think I might be able to hold out until I'm 17 because I've been wondering what Dudley would look like with a pig's nose….¨

Harry kept talking but Ron wasn't listening. He was looking for Hermione. Where did she go? Finally he caught her brown curly hair moving towards the exit.

¨Sorry Harry! I'll see you soon but I really have to talk to Hermione.¨

And off he ran. Just as he left, Ginny came walking over to say goodbye. She noticed Harry grinning.

¨What are you smiling at?¨ She asked while giving him a kiss.

¨Ron running off to talk to Hermione. I wish he'd tell her how he feels. Everyone but him can see how she feels for him.¨

Now Ginny was also smiling. ¨Same for Hermione. The whole Lavender situation was hard for her. And she would really be happy with him. Probably just as happy as I am with you.¨

Ginny kissed him again and put her arms around him, She was going to miss him while he was at the Dursley's. She gave him one last kiss before forcing herself to let go. ¨I'm going to write to you all the time just until you get to the Burrow. Once you come we can spend the rest of our summer together, alone.¨

Harry smiled. He gave her one last kiss and went to find the Dursley's.


¨Hermione! Hold on!¨

Ron ran to catch up with her. When she saw who was calling her name she stopped. She wondered what he could want.

¨Hi Ron. Is everything okay?¨

¨Everything is fine. I just needed to talk to you before you left.¨

¨Sure. Um, Mum, Dad, I can meet you at the car if you want to take my things.¨ Hermione's mother just smiled as she pulled her husband outside.

¨So what are you planning on doing this summer Hermione?¨

¨Um well. I don't really know but I guess my parents might have planned something, we haven't talked about it yet. I guess I'll be coming to the Burrow before school starts though. Probably once Harry gets there. But, well, why do you ask?¨

Ron could feel his hands start to shake and his body get tense.

¨Why does this always happen?¨ He thought. ¨I always have lots to say when she's not around and then when I'm with her my mout hand brain don't seem to work.¨

He tried to get something out while she stood there waiting. He tried severaly times but each time he froze when he started.

¨Well, um,… you see…I, um, I, (takes a deep breath) if you didn't have any other plans(another deep breath) you don't have to wait until Harry comes for you to come to the Burrow. What I mean is, neither one of us has plans and so I'm inviting you to the Burrow for the summer. If you want.¨

Hermione could feel her heart beating so fast. Everytime she was left alone wiht Ron it happened, but that last statementblew her away and made her feel faint. Had he really just asked her out to his house for the summer? She answered honestly.

¨Well, um, I'm blown away and I'm at a loss of words.¨

Ron quickly added. ¨No don't worry about it! I figured you would want to spend your summer with your parents and then come when Harry did. We can forget I asked. It really isn't a problem, I just thoguht you might….¨

Hermione could tell he was embarrassed by his red ears and the way he was ramblign and looking down told her he was uncomfortable. She spoke up fast. ¨No! Ron, I would love to come. I just have to check with my parents. They might have planned something. And your mother is okay with having me around for a few extra weeks?¨

¨Well I hadn't actually asked her, but she loves you so I don't think she would mind.¨

¨Well I need to go find my parents. Find your Mum and ask and meet me back here in 5 minutes?¨ Hermione walked away content that Ron was smiling like a fool. She went in search of her parents.

Ron quickly found his Mum who had been waiting for him.

¨Ron, did you tell Harry we would come and get him soon?¨

¨Yes Mum. He mentioned something about Dudley and a pig. But I was wondering if Hermione could come to the Burrow for the summer with us? I mean if her parents agree. She doesn't have anything else planned.¨

¨Ronald Weasley why did you even ask! Of course she can stay! Why didn't you think of this sooner?¨ She was beaming at him. And staring. I twas starting to scare him.

¨Well I'll go find her to tell her…¨
