Hermione Granger entered the Gryffindor common room after patrolling the corridors, as part of her prefect duties, completely and utterly exhausted and was surprised to find Ron Weasley fast asleep on the couch. "Ron" she whispered, but it was no use, it was virtually impossible to wake Ron when he was fast asleep like this, and it was no use even trying. Hermione smiled to herself. ' Stupid Ron' she thought, conjured up a blanket and put it over Ron's sleeping body. She was about to go up to the girls' dorms when she heard Ron mutter "Hermione". She turned around and when she realized he was only sleep talking, a blush crept up on her cheeks. She walked over to him and kissed him on the forehead. "Goodnight Ron" she whispered, feeling strangely happy, though she had no idea why. ~~~ The next morning Ron woke up to find he was on the couch and it took him a while to realize what had happened. He finally remembered what had happened. He had been waiting for hermione to come back from her prefect duties (the prefects took turns for each night) but he had soon fallen asleep. But then Ron remembered something; a dream or well he wasn't sure, but he thought that Hermione had kissed him, on the forehead mind you but still a kiss. However, the more Ron thought about it, the more it sounded like he had imagined it. 'Hermione? Kissing me? You're dreaming Ron' he shook his head in disbelief, his ears turning red. He got up and got changed into his robes, which he had carelessly left crumpled up in a heap beside him and was on his way up to the boys dorms to wash up when he bumped into Harry. "Hey Harry" "Hey Ron. Where were you? I didn't see you go to your bed last night" Harry looked at Ron quizzically. "Oh, um, well I was in the common room ermm waiting for--" Ron blushing furiously while he tried to think of an excuse other than waiting for Hermione knowing full well what Harry would say to that.. "Waiting for what, Ron?" Harry asked suspiciously. "Erm, uh well--" luckily for Ron, just at that moment Neville came rushing through screaming hysterically about an explosion downstairs. Fearing the worst both Ron and Harry rushed downstairs, to find that there was a gaping hole in the wall between the 6th year girls' dorms and the common room. Unfortunately for the girls, most of them were still getting changed and seeing this, most of the boys that had come down to help, were too shocked at seeing the girls half dressed that they just stared with their mouths hanging open in shock including Ron and Harry. The girls however were a different story. They were screaming hysterically, trying to find either their wands to conjure some clothes or if their wands were too far away anything to cover themselves up in was fine. Amidst all the chaos though, no one saw a little house elf sneak away through the crowd. ~~
