Title: Between the Lines

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of the characters associated with the Harry Potter series.
Summary: Set before (and eventually through) Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Ron and Hermione find themselves alone for a month before Harry arrives at Number 12, Grimmauld Place. My take on what happens before Harry arrives and the consequences that Harry takes no notice of.
Author's Notes(more at the bottom): After I read Order of the Phoenix, I felt that it was lacking some major answers to questions that I had concerning Ron and Hermione's relationship. So, being a writer and an analyst, I came up with the plot for this story. Basically, since Order of the Phoenix is being told from Harry's perspective and he's a little too busy to notice anything going on between his two best friends, it is my personal feeling that something did happen with Ron and Hermione before Harry met up with them and that he (Harry) just didn't notice. This is my take on what happens.

Dear Hermione,
My mum wanted me to write you to invite you to the Burrow for the summer. She's been having kittens about you being in the muggle world without any protection. You going to see Vicky this summer? I don't think it's very safe. Write back soon.
Ron
Dear Ron,
I'm not sure, but I think my parents think it's a good idea for me to stay with you this summer. We've talked about the first war with You-Know-Who and they understand that I am a target- or rather could be. The think I would be safer in the wizard world than the muggle world. They are a lot more understanding about all of this than I would have thought.
Now onto the subject of Victor (that is his name by the way, not Vicky). I would think that after everything that happened last year you would be a little bit nicer. I think you know the answer to your own question. Are you just trying to be an insufferable git and want to have the pleasure of having me write it out? I want you to know that I care for him a lot and am very upset that I won't be visiting him this summer.
Hermione
Hermione,
I'm glad you're coming here instead of going to see the insufferable git.
Ron
Dear Hermione,
I'm really sorry about that last post. Harry reckons I should have been a lot nicer. speaking of Harry, does he seem to be a little moody to you? I know he's having a horrible summer, but I can't help but feel like he's trying to be moody.
I really am sorry Hermione, I shouldn't have been so rude. I'll understand if you don't want to come visit me. Let me know soon though.
Ron
Ron,
You really are an idiot- I hope you know that.
But you're still my best friend and all that, so I feel obligated to forgive you-even if I am still really upset with you.
In any case, my mum wrote to your mum and wants to know if it is all right if I come on Wednesday. Hopefully we'll see each other soon. We'll talk more about Harry when I get there.
Hermione
Dear Hermione,
You'll be here tomorrow and I am so glad that I will have someone to talk to! Fred and George have locked themselves up in their room and I think I hear vomiting every time I go past. Ginny has taken to taking really long walks and is gone for hours on end- which is very odd, and Percy. I'll just tell you when you get here. It's not something you should send by owl.
I'm glad you've forgiven me because I don't know what I'd do if you weren't here to keep me company. Besides, now I don't have to worry about you going to see Krum this summer.
Ron
Dear Ginny,
Your brother is an insufferable git.
Can't wait to see you Wednesday!
Hermione
Dearest Ron,
You are the biggest dunderhead I've ever met. STOP TALKING TO HERMIONE ABOUT KRUM!
Ginny
Sis,
Stay out of my private life-and do you realize how absolutely ridiculous it is to send letters back and forth to each other when we live mere stories apart? If you need me again, I'll be in my room-you know where to find me
Ron
Dear Hermione,
I'm really, really, sorry that I'm an insufferable git (I thought that was the name we had penned for Krum. OW, Ginny, that hurt!).
Ginny is sitting here with me making sure that I don't make any more blunders. She just whacked me upside the head.
She's giving me an evil look now, so I better get to the point.
I really care for you which is why I'm being so mean about this whole Krum thing. I would hate to see you get hurt. I really can't wait to see you again and even though it has only been like a week and a half, I can't wait to see your bushy brown head again since I last saw you. Well, Ginny is smiling so I guess I've written something right for once. See you tomorrow.
Ron
More author's notes: I just want to thank my beta reader JennaMae for reading this and making sure that it didn't suck serious butt! I also want to thank my BF and future LA chica, Deanna for being so much fun to write for- she always laughs in all the right spots and always has something encouraging to say! And finally to Ruth who hasn't read it yet, but will have some great tips when she does!! I miss you babe and can't wait to see everyone back in good ole' Abilene!
