•••

   You wake up in Ron's bed, the room is empty. You get up and see a dress of yours laid out on the bed and note on top on of it. You sit up, grab the note and read it.

About time you've woken up, it's been a couple of hours because I wouldn't have let you been knocked out for longer than that. Ginny found this dress in your trunk and I thought it would look good on you. Put it on and meet Harry in the kitchen, can't wait to see you.
          -Ron

   You have never been more confused in your life. You feel a bit lightheaded but, get up anyways and put the dress on. It's a dark green dress, you smile and look at yourself in your hand mirror. You go downstairs to the kitchen where Harry is supposed to be waiting, which he isn't.

"Harry?" You call out.

He comes around the corner with a smile.

   "Hello—" He pauses as if to listen and make sure no one was around. "you look very lovely."

You blush instantly but, you can't help it! You blush at any little compliment or any little thing that someone does.

"Well, thank you. There was a note on my dress that told me to come and find you, have any idea what that's about?" You ask him.

"Oh! Oh, yes. Okay so, now that you're here I have to take you out to the back." Harry says.

He leads you towards the back door and outside where you see a path mowed in the lawn.

"I'm supposed to walk you over here and then we just follow the path until it ends." Harry says, walking ahead of you.

You follow him and it takes you into the field and towards the garden. As you near the bushes you hear lots of rustling coming from them.

   "Is this some kind of joke?"  You ask Harry suspiciously.

   "I don't think so, it may just be a wild animal."  He says, unsure of himself.

   All of a sudden Fred and George jump out of the bushes screaming.

   "I knew you were up to something Harry!"  You say pushing him and they all laugh at you being scared.

   "You should've seen the look on your face!"  Fred says.

   "Follow us."  Fred and George say, grabbing my hands.

    They continue to the garden and I see Ron sitting down. There's flowers and food all around him and he's quietly picking at some grass.

   "Here's your lady!"

   "Scared the life out of her!"  They twins say.

   Ron looks up and smiles at you. You sit down next to him and expect everyone to leave but they don't.

   "Anything else you need?"  Harry asks Ron.

   "No, no I'm good. You can leave now."  Ron tells them all.

   "Can't believe Ron is having his first date at the house!"  George says.

   Fred smacks his chest and smirks.

   "Let the man enjoy his meal—"

   "And dessert!"  George adds.

   They grab Harry and leave, Ron shakes his head.

   "You look beautiful, I hope they didn't scare you too bad."  Ron says, eating a grape.

   "They didn't, don't worry. Is all this for us?"  You ask, looking at the food.

   "No, I told the others they could have some if they helped. The only person who did what I asked was Harry, I didn't want George and Fred to scare you."  He says laughing.

   You laugh with him.

   "Catch."  You tell him, throwing a grape into his mouth.

   The two of you play a game of throwing grapes into each other's mouths and then finally get to eating real food. Ron had made some sandwiches and had some different little snacks.

   "Did you make these sandwiches?"  You ask, giggling because it was so sloppy.

   "Yeah, I tried my best! I was rushed because I didn't want them to go bad while I was waiting for you to wake up."  He says laughing with you.

    He looked gorgeous. He had a sweater on, his hair was a bit messy with the wind and he was glowing in the sun. You loved the sight.

   "You think we'll still be dating by the time school starts?"  Ron asks, taking the last bite of his sandwich.

    "Of course we will, Ron. I don't know why we wouldn't."  You say, sort of taken by surprise by his question.

    "The only reason I ask is because I heard something the other night. I know it isn't probably good to bring this up on a date—"  He stops for a moment and looks into your eyes.
"This is a date right?"  He asks you.

   "Of course it is! I mean, we're dating and you set this whole cute little picnic up so I don't see why it wouldn't be."  You tell him.

   "Okay, brilliant. But, I heard Fred and George talking the other night and I think they were talking about you."  He says.

   "M-Me? Surely it wasn't anything serious right?"  You ask.

    "I don't know for sure but, I was going to ask them about it after we finish up here. We can ask together."  Ron says, smiling.

   You smile back and the two of you continue to eat and joke around. You can't help but think about what the twins could've possibly been saying about you. For some reason, you feel it's best if you don't find out.
