Better Late then Never

Hermione saw the owl fly away. 'Merlin, I hope they won’t be mad at me?'she said to herself. The bath she drew for herself was ready. As she stepped in, the scent of juniper invaded her senses and dispelled all the nerves and anger she had accumulated over the last three years. Viktor Krum was history, and now Hermione Krum...sorry Granger was back with a vengeance and the first thing she did was get in touch with her best friends, the only family she had, since Hermione’s parents have both passed on. “You were right mum, Krum was a bastard. What kind of a name is Hermione Krum?” said Hermione out loud; however the feeling of liberty and regret was soon replaced with certain warmth. Hermione lay relaxed in the tub, the enchanted juniper potion brought back memories and fantasies she had nearly forgotten. Hermione’s hand rubbed her bare stomach whilst her other hand went further down between her legs. The sound of water dropping from the tap became a rhythm; a rhythm she had nearly forgotten existed;

Hermione lay soaking wet on a warm secluded field and the feel of a man’s fingers went up and down her bare thigh. She opened her legs and let the fingers do her pleasuring

Hermione rubbed her clit slowly...

A pair of lips closed around her left nipple, whilst the man’s fingers pleasured her clit. Hermione gave a moan, ‘Don’t stop’ she moaned in her dream

.... And soon the hand which on her stomach went towards her erect nipples, which she eagerly began to slowly rub and pinch.

Soon the fingers and the lips left and Hermione opened her eyes to see her fantasy lover, she smiled and the lips that pleasured her kissed her, whilst the man began to penetrate her.

“Ohh” moaned Hermione in a high pitched voice as her hands brought on pleasure, “Oh fuck! Oh…Ron” moaned Hermione

Ron’s red hair, his blue eyes and his lustful smile invaded her vision. “Fuck me Ron. Oh Ron, I love you, I’m yours”

She screamed as she came all over her hand. Hermione opened her eyes and licked her lips “Ron” she whispered, her voice a mixture of worry and regret. Before Hermione had a chance to analyse her thoughts, a chirping was heard nearby. Hermione looked towards the window and saw an owl. Exiting the bath and drying herself off, she opened the window and took the letter it was holding.

Dear Hermione
It has been a while, too long for all of us. Of course we’d love to see you again. You’re family to all of us. Come round tonight around seven? Neither Harry nor I won’t take no an answer and don’t bother sending a reply, Harry still remembers your promises and punctuality. See you at seven SHARPISH.
Love
Ginny and Harry, and Lilly

Hermione laughed that Lilly put her name on the letter; Hermione was the same when she was seven. “Right I better get dressed and down there”.

Ron sat in front of the T.V. however his mind wondered to Rosie and Pansy. Ron was now alone, his little girl had gone and he wouldn’t see her for months at a time. He looked to his right towards the mantelpiece and saw a picture of his beloved Pansy, looking so happy and beautiful. Ron looked back towards the T.V. however he soon switched it off and stood up. He passed by Rosie’s bedroom, and looked at all the things she had accumulated in her short life. Funnily enough nearly all of them were books and Blu-Ray discs.
“Merlin, if I didn’t know any better you could be another Hermione” said Ron. At that thought Ron paused;
“What on earth has had happened to Hermione? Is she still in the middle of divorcing that big nosed tosser?” he thought. Ron made his way to the lounge to call Harry. “Telephones! Greatest invention ever” thought Ron.

The bell rang and Ginny answered the door. “Oh Hermione” she shouted as she invited her friend in. As soon as she entered Ginny immediately hugged her best friend; “So good to see you Gin” “Yeah you too” said Ginny. “So where’s Harry? And Albus and Lilly?” asked a breathless Hermione. Ginny laughed “Albus has just gone to Hogwarts with James and Rosie. And Lilly’s in the living room with Harry” Hermione smiled “My word I can’t believe Albus and Rosie are already eleven. I just pray to Merlin that they still remember me, not to mention forgive me” said Hermione. “Of course they remember their Auntie Hermione, especially Rosie” said Ginny.
They went inside the living room where they saw Harry on the phone. Harry looked at his wife and best friend; “Yeah alright…That’s brilliant…yeah okay see you tomorrow…don’t worry I’ll give Ginny and Lilly your love. Bye” Harry hung up the phone. “Wow Hermione” he said as he hugged his best friend. “Great to see you”
“You too Harry”

“So you’re off from work till January?” asked Harry.
“Yeah, I hope I can rebuild my friendships with you and Ron and everyone. I’m just so sorry that I…”
Harry held his hand up; “Don’t worry Hermione; we’re the ones who have to apologise for not being there for you”. Hermione replied “Oh rubbish, you guys had three kids to look after, you didn’t have to be burdened by my problems. Not to mention Ron was looking after Pansy and Rosie.”
Hermione looked at her wine glass. “How’s Ron?” asked Hermione.
“He’s alright when Rosie is around, but he can go to pieces when she isn’t” replied Ginny. Hermione looked up “Does he still miss her?”
Harry nodded and replied “He even doesn’t think about going into another relationship. Even after Rosie has begged him too”
Hermione looked down in shame; “I should’ve been there for him. After Pansy died, I should’ve been there for him. If not for him, than I should’ve been there for Rosie, she needed me and I wasn’t there cause I was selfish and…” Ginny interrupted her; “Enough Hermione. You had a lot of problems that you had to overcome by divorcing that…man. Ron and Rosie understand believe me”. “But I should’ve been there for them. They…Rosie needed me…” “Enough Hermione. Besides Pansy wouldn’t have let you” said Ginny in a firm voice. Hermione looked up, her eyes were red and her cheeks became puffy “Look Hermione, you were divorcing Krum. Ron knew that the divorce will take time, anyway we were there for him and Rosie”. Hermione nodded.

Hermione was in the hallway gathering her coat;
“Thank you ever so much” said Hermione. “Anytime Hermione, so well see you on Monday” said Ginny. “Thank you very much for the invitation” said Hermione.
“Well we’ve never gone away together so we might as well begin now” replied Harry. As the door closed Harry picked up his wife and took her to the bedroom. “What is it with you? Few glasses of wine and you’re sex mad” laughed Ginny.
“Anything to please my lady” said Harry as he put Ginny down on the bed.
Both Harry and Ginny began undressing; “So who were you talking too on the phone earlier?”
“Ron, he’s decided to come with us to the Bahamas” said Harry. Ginny paused “So Ron and Hermione…Harry Potter you really are a Slytherin snake”.
Harry laughed at Ginny’s comment; “Come on Ginny, what could be better than a sunny beach to spark a romance” said Harry. “Well you know all about sparks on a beach. I’ll never forget what you did on our honeymoon. You blew up that child’s beach ball, poor boy was crying his eyes out”. Harry looked sheepishly at his wife, “Oh come on Ginny that was twenty years ago, I bet the child wherever he is now forgot about the ball already”. “Anyway coming back to the situation in hand, are you sure Ron and Hermione are ready?” asked Ginny.
“Look Ginny, Ron and Hermione always fancied one another so I might as well have those two stop moping and get on with a little well… loving”.
Ginny laughed “Well at least we’ll be doing at lot of that” she approached her husband and kissed him. “Want me to give you a preview?” asked Harry. Ginny grinned “No Potter. And don’t you start moping; you’ll be able to have me for two months none stop.” Harry smiled “Is that a promise?” Ginny nodded.

“Good morning, it is Monday 4th September” blasted the radio. Ron opened his eyes and switched the radio off. He slowly got up and looked at his trunk which was already packed and ready.

Hermione stepped out of the shower and began drying herself off. She stepped into the main room of her tiny studio apartment and began dressing in the clothes she had neatly laid out the night before.

Ron drank his cup of tea and miniaturised his trunk containing all his belongings, he then put the trunk in his bag pack and began his final inspection around the house. “Heating is off, windows are shut…” Ron mumbled to himself. He then locked the main door and went into his back garden. After locking the garden door he went to the end of the garden where he apparated to Harry and Ginny’s garden.

Hermione was ready and as she miniaturised her bags and apparated to the street corner near her friend’s house.

Ron was chatting with Harry when the doorbell rang. “I wonder who that is?” asked Ginny, perfectly knowing that it was Hermione. Ginny opened the door, Hermione smiled and was about to greet her when Ginny silenced her. Hermione was confused but decided to play along.
“Who was it dear?” asked Harry when Ginny came back to the lounge. Hermione saw the back of Ron’s head and her heart skipped a beat, her mouth came open and smile formed on her lips. Ron turned around and was met with the smiling face of Hermione Granger. “Mione!” he shouted as he came over to her and hugged her
“Oh Ron” laughed Hermione as Ron lifted her from the ground.
“So good to see you” laughed Hermione. Ron put her down and replied “You too Mione”. Harry and Ginny kept their grins hidden over the spectacle that just occurred. “So guys you ready” said Harry. “Yeah, can’t wait to get there” said Ron as he looked at Hermione. Although Hermione was oblivious, Ginny and Harry were trying hard to keep their grins at bay. “Okay well shall we” said Harry taking his wife’s hand and leading the way to the garden where a Portkey will take them to Barbados.
