Chapter 13 Catches on Quick

After shopping Harry, Ron and Charlie met up with Hermione, Savannah and Ginny outside of the dress shop.

"Im hungry."Said Ron

"Your always hungry." Said Harry and Hermione at the same time.

"I am not." Ron argued back, "Hey ice cream. Can we go?"

"Harry looked at Hermione and they both laughed and Ron glared at them was about to retort

"Sure, all the shopping has warn me down." Said Savannah, breaking up an argument that was about to happen.

"Me too." Said Charlie as they walked through the door.

After ordering Ron sat down and looked at Hermione and Harry, who were talking next to the door. It was hard for him to believe that his friends were in love, and he reflected on the time he too loved Hermione that way, but as the time moved faster Hermione grew into a sister. 'It would've never worked between us.' Ron thought sadly but then he smiled. 'She deserves him as much as he deserves her.'

"What are you smiling about?" asked Ginny as she sat down next to her brother.

"Harry and Hermione." He said simply as the waitress brought his ice cream over. "Thanks, where are they going?"

"Flourish and Blotts, Hermione wanted to go, and of course Harry went with her, they said they will be back, if he can ever get her away from the books." Said Ginny.

"Well they are going to go past the Quidditch so Hermione is going to have to drag him away too." Said Ron and Charlie and Savannah came and sat down, opposite of Ron and Ginny.

"So tell me about Harry and Hermione." Said Savannah. "They seem in tune with each other, its kind of scary."

"Well, in a way they are." said Ginny.

"How?" asked Charlie, who was confused.

"Well they have faced danger so many times and they've done everything together, for almost 6 years, they know how they will react to something, its just. . ."Ginny explained until Ron interrupted her.

"Well I have been friends with Harry longer than Hermione, and I never know what he is thinking or Hermione for that matter." Stated Ron.

"Well are you in love with Harry?" She asked with a smile

"Like a brother. . ."

"Exactly." Said Ginny. "they are so in love with each other that they notice things, and also all the things they've gone through, it kind of adds into it."

"What kind of danger." asked Savannah.

"Well lets see." Started Ginny and started counting her fingers. "In first year, there was the troll, where he and Ron saved her from it, then the philosopher stone, which was a pretty cool story, if you ask me. In second year Hermione was petrified and he defeated the Basilisk with her clue she gave him, oh and he saved me too. . . and when she got better she darted into the Great Hall and gave him a hug in front of the whole school. In third year it was Sirius Black and she helped him free him from the dementors and that was great year, Hermione smacked Malfoy, it was great. Then the infamous fourth year, with the Tri Wizard Tournament, when nobody believed he put his name is, she believed him with out a doubt unlike somebody I know." She said looking at Ron. "And she helped him with learning spells and all, she was like glued at his hips for a lack of better words, that Rita Skeeter wrote an article about them being a couple. Fifth year when Umbridge and her hell like detentions she helped him at all hours of the nights with is bloody hands, then the Department of Mysteries, she was almost killed, but she fought brilliantly, and when Sirius was killed, it nearly broke Harry and Hermione was there, and he has a nasty temper, but she has one just as equal, man when they have a go at it, its world war three in the making but Harry is a softy and usually gives in." Ginny explained.

"Wow neat." said Savannah, "You know a lot."

"No, I just catch on." She said.

"Catch on for what?" Asked Hermione as she sat down.

"Oh, transfiguration. Where's Harry?"

"He is getting some ice cream."she answered simply

Harry walked over and sat next to Hermione and handed her a spoon and started to eat his ice cream.

"Thank you Harry. But you didn't have to share with me."

"I know, but you deserve some ice cream." she said taking the cherry off the top and playfully placing it in between her lips. Harry stared at her and then smiled."
