STORY SCENES AND SHORT EXPLANATIONS
Righto, Ill begin with:
Voldemort- gone.
Dumbldore- still here, as are Sirius, Lupin and other characters which may have died as a result of Mouldyshorts (voldemort - mouldyshorts Tee Hee).
It's the gang's last year at Hogwarts however, Hermione is no longer a prefect, nor is Ron because they didn't make head boy or girl (boo sucks to them with knobs on).
POV changes from time to time mostly from Ginny to Hermy, not sure if ill main any other characters.
Chapter One: Watching Her
Ginny Weasley sat at the dresser brushing her long red, if not disobedient hair in to submission
"Why-won't-you-behave!" she muttered agitatedly between brush strokes. Ginny picked up a muggle smoothing solution that Hermione had given her for Christmas and smoothed some into her hair
Hermione was spending the end part of her summer, along with Harry, in the home of the Weasleys. The particular room she was staying in belonged to that of the only daughter born to the Weasley family, Ginny. Finally after much pulling and tugging, Ginny managed to get her hair done to a point which she was satisfied. She stood and turned around breathing in deeply the scent of the room's air. It was sweet with coconut shampoo, rose perfume and the tiniest hint of strawberry soap; the smells which constantly followed Hermione wherever she went. Beautiful smells that she would dearly miss during school when she no longer shared a room with her. It was just one more day until they all had to return to Hogwarts. For Hermione, Ron and Harry, it was their last. It was nearly 10pm and Ginny heard the shower being turned off in the bathroom. She hurried to get in to her pyjamas before Hermione should enter the room. Switching off the light, she rushed to get beneath her sheets and in to a position that made her seem like she was sleeping. Hermione walked in not a moment later dressed in nothing but a bathrobe
"Ginny?" whispered Hermione in to the darkness as she closed the door "Are you awake?" Ginny kept her eyes firmly closed and only responded with deep, sleep like breathing. Hermione shrugged and turned around. Ginny carefully opened her eyes. Hermione untied the knot that held her robe closed and let it fall back over her smooth bare skin in to a heap on the floor. She lifted her damp hair and tied it quickly in to a ponytail before turning back around to find her pyjamas. Ginny closed her eyes again. This time she did not open them until she heard the old springs in the spare bed creak as Hermione got beneath it's sheets. She felt like a nasty spy watching Hermione naked, so
Ginny had only ever seen the smooth curves of her shoulders and waist. Her morality stopped her eyes from dropping any lower. This had been going on for the entirety of the two weeks Hermione had spent in her room. They were great friends but secretly, something no one knew was, Ginny wanted more.
Hermione's soft and gentle night-time breathing filled Ginny's ears as she watched Hermione's chest rise and fall with each lungful of air. A small doll lay on the bed beside Hermione and she cuddled it nearer to herself. How Ginny longed to be there instead of the doll. Safe and warm in Hermione's embrace. She had kept this from everyone for so long, Ginny was a master of secrets. She'd dated several boys from Hogwarts but finally she realised that the reason no suited her taste was because her taste had nothing to do with the entire male population. Ever since Ginny's fourth year all she had ever wanted was Hermione. True, she kept dating men for a screen and something to hide her feelings with. But more and more often she wondered why. Why didn't she just tell Hermione how she felt? Viktor Krum was just a friend of Hermione's and she knew it. She checked both their letters when Hermione was out of the room. Hermione had divulged in a most recent one to Viktor, and it was very surprising indeed, that she found herself looking at a 'Porn' magazine. Ginny only had a vague idea of what one of these was, being a muggle custom and all. But she knew it had pictures of naked women in it. Maybe Hermione wasn't interested in men either and she had a chance? This had started the dreams.
Last night's had been amazing. She had managed to seduce Hermione in to letting her be accompanied to the Prefects bath, late at night. They had dashed along the corridors and when they finally filled the bath with water and they were naked beneath the sweet smelling foam of the pool sized bath Ginny had pressed herself against Hermione and kissed her, after which Hermione had whispered 'I love you'. The next morning Hermione had asked what she was dreaming about because she'd had an enormous smile across her face while she was sleeping. Ginny blushed and said something about winning the Quidditch would cup on a Comet 260 and they both laughed at the hilarity of it over breakfast with the others.
Ginny was thinking of what she would do if given the opportunity to be with Hermione. Would she just blush and go date Seamus Finnigan? Or would she... Ginny fell asleep.

Ginny was awoken on the last day of holidays by a gentle shaking of her shoulders. Once again, she'd been having the dream about the prefect's bath. Hermione's lovely face was smiling down upon her
"Good morning" she said letting go of her and peeling back the sheets. Ginny rolled over and began to get up rubbing her eyes
"Morning" she said sleepily feeling around on the ground for her other slipper
"Come on sleepy head, your bottomless pit brothers will eat everything if you don't get downstairs soon" Hermione said handing her the matching fluffy bunny she'd been looking for
"Thanks" Ginny smiled as Hermione left carrying her toothbrush
After wrestling the last piece of bacon from Ron, getting dressed and brushing her teeth, Ginny and Hermione decided to go for a short walk around the yard. Mrs. Weasley gave them a bucket of leftover lettuce to feed the chickens whilst they were out there. Hermione sat on the garden bench and Ginny sat beside her putting the lettuce bucket between them. She took out a large leaf and held it as the chickens came running towards them to eat it. Ginny could think of nothing to say as they fed the chickens the lettuce. Eventually she came out with
"Enjoyed your holidays?" in an awkward sort of tone. Hermione seemed not to notice
"Of course I have, you know I always do" Hermione smiled as a chicken jumped on to the edge of the now empty bucket looking for more food
"Oh, yeah well I wanted to ask you something" Ginny said in a little bit of a rush. Hermione turned towards her with a concerned frown upon her features
"What did you want to ask me?" she questioned. Ginny grew a little tense and swallowed thickly. Hermione's gaze didn't leave her face and it was making her nervous. Ginny spoke again finally
"I uh..." at that point a second chicken jumped next to the other and the bucket up ended sending feathers and small lettuce scraps everywhere
"Merlin's pants!" gasped Hermione standing up quickly "Sorry, they just alarmed me a bit is all. What were you saying?" Ginny knew Hermione wouldn't fall for the 'oh, nothing' line so her mind raced trying to think of something
"Oh, right yes, um... Have you seen my other dark purple sock?" Hermione's features relaxed again
"No, sorry I haven't. Is that all? You were looking all serious before" she said. Ginny shook her head and bent to pick up the food bucket
"No, no, that's all, sorry if I worried you" she uttered hurriedly before turning towards the house "I think mum's waving at us to come inside. I still haven't packed quite everything for school"
"I'll help you if you'd like" Hermione offered kindly
"No, it's okay, I think you ought to help Ron, if mum mails him extra underwear again I think he'll have a fit"

On the last night in the Burrow, several unexpected people had come to join them including, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, Bill and Fleur, Charlie and a new woman Abigail (whom insisted on everyone calling her Abby) and even a haughty Percy whom had brought an awkward Penelope Clearwater with him. Their final dinner was, as always expected, a large feast prepared by Mrs. Weasley that left everyone very full. Dessert consisted of miniature strawberry cheesecakes, custard, ice cream, strawberry jelly, chocolate pudding and a delicious fruit salad by the end of which everyone felt they would pop.
The conversations of the table began to separate amongst themselves as everyone leaned back to let their food settle. There were the usual conversations, Mrs. Weasley and Charlie's hair, Mr.
Weasley and Percy about Ministry business, then there were a few unusual ones, Ginny and the twins guessing how many piercings Abby wasn't telling them about, Fleur and Penelope discussing 'Which Witch' magazine's recent article on tacky robes and then a hushed conversation between Hermione, Ron and Harry
"...I'm just asking if she's said anything to you about it, she did have a crush on you way back then you know" Hermione said to Harry while looking over at a snickering Ginny. Harry peered over too
"She hasn't said anything, and she looks just fine now anyway" Harry replied thoroughly confused. Hermione had been trying to find out if Ginny had been keeping a secret from her
"Well, I lost my Prefect's badge the other day..." began Hermione
"But you're not a Prefect anymore, why d'you need it?" Ron cut in
"Memoirs Ronald, memoirs!" she hissed "If it's that I think she would have told me by now"
"Well then it's not that is it?" said Harry looking longingly at a bowl of chocolate mousse with just a few mouthfuls left in it
"So why don't you just ask her about it if you're so worried?" Ron said leaning forward and taking the bowl of mousse. Harry's face fell a little
"I can't do that! It's a girl rule!" Hermione said shocked
"Bugger the bloody rules and stop pestering us about it, if we hear anything, we'll get back to you, problem sorted" Ron said before scooping the last spoonful of mousse into his mouth

"..promise you won't take any herbs not given to you by a teacher, this is your final year and I don't want any of you getting hurt..." Mrs Weasley was giving her annual 'Be careful, be happy, be good or else speech to the four of them' "...and don't you dare go blowing up toilets or enchanting statues like Fred and George or I'll march down there myself and bring you home!"
"Yes mum" chanted Ginny and Ron
"Of course Mrs. Weasley" said Hermione and Harry
"Right then, off you go, quickly now, the train's about to go" said Mr. Weasley. A loud whistle blew and a guard started walking down the train closing doors. They all hurried in to a carriage and started walking down the train to find an empty compartment
