Beauty and the Beast

Back to Hogwarts

I couldn't sleep. I tossed and turned but I could fall back to sleep. I pulled my covers off and stood. Careful not to wake Ginny I made my way upstairs to Ron's room. I could always talk to Him and Harry. We were like family, always have been, always will be. After the war we grew closer, well as close as you can get to family.

I slowly opened the door. The room had an orange glow even though it was night outside. Creeping into the bedroom, I made my way towards the bed, to find it empty? I made my way to a sleeping Harry. Giving his arm a small shake I woke my black haired, green eyed friend. Where could Ron be? If he had troubles sleeping he would be downstairs eating, or something. Not gone. I started to worry. My boyfriend was missing just 5 months after the wizard war. What if he was in trouble? What if he was captured by death eaters? "Harry!" I hissed. "Harry, wake up!"

Harry sat up groggly. Looking around to see who had woke him. "Hermione? What you doing up at 1 in the morning?" He asked huskily. "I, uh, couldn't sleep... But that doesn't matter! Look, Ron's not here! I don't know where he is or what's happened to him. It's freaking me out Harry!" And I was. Ron normally sleeps like a rock, as the muggles say. But here I was in his room, might sound a little dirty but we wouldn't, and he was nowhere to be seen. "Calm down Hermione. I'm sure he went downstairs to eat or something, trust me. If he isn't back in 10 then we'll go look for him, ok?"
Oh Merlin. How does he stay so calm?

"Oh harry, your right... He's probably in the bathroom or eating, what else?" I sat next to harry curling up to him for warmth. Harry wrapped his arm around me like a brother would do. "Sleep." That was the last thing i heard from harry, when i drifted off into sleep.

XOXOXO

I woke to the sound of Mrs Weasley. "Train leaves at 11 children! Up up up! Breakfast is ready, get dressed and bring your trunks down." She shouted all the way up the house. I sat up and roused Harry. "Up you get Harry." I look at my red and Gold, very Griffindor watch. 9:30am. "Harry, its 9:30, get up!" Harry stirred and so did a red haired baffoon in his bed. "Ron!" I exclaimed. I admit i did overreact by jumping on his bed and giving him a tight hug. Ron sat up. "What! Hermione?" He said agitated. I raised an eyebrow. "Ronald Weasley! Where were you last night? I came here because i couldn't get to sleep and you weren't here, do you know how worried a was? You better have a good explanation!" By now Harry was standing and looking at Ron with a concentrated look and folded arms.

"Where were you, Ron?" Harry asked. Ron looked baffled. "Me? I..I was right here...you know that I sleep like a rock. Uh..don't you..?" Ron said confused. I sighed. "You weren't here Ronald. I just told you that, so where in the wizarding world were you?" I asked. Ron mumbled something. "Pardon?" "Diagon Ally." Ron said clearer. I scunched my eyebrows together. "Why were you at Diagon Ally?" Harry questioned. Ron's ears went red. "look, will you stop with the questions! My business is my own, okay?" He said.

I opened and closed my mouth a couple of times before removing my self from the bed. at that moment Ginny came in the door. "Hey guys..." She wondered off. Ginny wrinkled her nose, "I interrupted something, didn't I?" She asked. Harry shoke his head. "No no. Come in" harry said walking over and giving her a kiss on the cheek and wrapping an arm around her waist. I smiled. The 2 were so sweet together.

"Morning Gin." I said walking over and giving her a hug. "Morning Mione. mum called me up to tell you guys to bring your trunks downstairs before she clonks you on the head with them." Ginny smiled. "Merlin." Ron muttered.

We all made our way downstairs our trunks hovering behind us. The kitchen table of the Weasley's was filled with sausages, eggs, bacon, yorkshire pudding, rolls and hash browns. Mrs Weasley stood waiting for us plates in hand. We each walked forward giving Mrs Weasley a kiss on the cheek and taking a plate. It became a regular thing to do around the Weasley house these days. Affection was the key to brighten someone's day after the war.

"Good morning Mrs Weasley." I said, giving her a kiss and taking a plate. "Good morning to you too Hermione." I sat next to Ron at the table. Making my self a bacon and egg roll and grabbing a York shire pudding. I tucked in as did the rest of us. Fred and George, Percy, Charlie, Bill and Mr Weasley were all at work leaving the place quite quiet.

"Everyone sleep well?" Mrs Weasley asked. We all replied with a yes. I said yes too. I guess sometimes i don't want to pull people into my mess. "good. Now eat up. Your going to need your energy."

We all finished breakfast in a matter of 10minutes. We all put on our coats and miniaturised our luggage. Mrs Weasley turned to us with a big smile.
"Now, who's ready to return to Hogwarts?"
