It had taken some doing, but Hermione had finally convinced Ron to go with her to visit her parents. Normally, Hermione didn't care to see them again once she'd done her obligatory few weeks home, but the uncertainty of the world around them nagged at her to go see them one more time before returning to school. Molly had thrown fits about her going alone but Hermione assured her that Ron was going with her and that the two of them would be fine. Besides, they were both fifteen, only two years away from legal age, and old enough to make a simple trip on the underground to the edge of town followed by a train ride. They would spend the night and return in the morning.
Now they had left the Granger's home and were on their way back to the Burrow. She hadn't even given a second thought to how awkward the situation might have been for Ron. The Weasley's had accepted her without strings to any of their children, so mach in fact that at times she felt that Molly Weasley assumed more of the role of her mother than did her own. However, her parents (okay her father specifically) had given Ron a good work out. It hadn't even dawned on her that they would automatically jump to the assumption that the two were dating. And well, she hadn't actually tried all that hard to convince them otherwise because it was a statement that she wished to be true even if she wasn't willing to actually admit it out loud.
At this precise moment, they had completed the train journey back to London proper and were standing on the platform awaiting the tube that would take them to Charing Cross Station where they could make their way to the Leaky Cauldron and floo back to the Burrow. "I'm sorry that my father quizzed you on your intentions," she apologized again for what had to have been the fiftieth time since they'd left her childhood home. "He only wants what's best for me. And well, since I've never brought a boy home and likely won't again I thought I'd allow him to have this one opportunity to pretend he had a normal daughter,"
