A Hogwarts Christmas Carol

Chapter 1: Denial

Ron Weasley was sitting on the sofa doing his charms homework in the Gryffindor Common room. As he sat gazing at the thick snow flakes that were falling so gracefull down on the cold grounds at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizadry. Although Christmas break had already begun, but Harry, Ron, and Hermione (as always) chose to remain at Hogwarts.

Mrs. Weasley of course had offered for Harry to come to the burrow but he had declined because he needed to be alone to mourn over the loss of his godfather. Whom he missed so much that he couldn't bare the silence any longer. He kept telling Ron and Hermione that they didn't have to stay with them. That he'd much rather be alone for the Christmas Hollidays. But they wouldn't listen. Ron kept insisting that Harry needed them, finally, after many restless arguments. Harry decided to give up and just let them be where they are not needed.

Ron, was jerked out of his train of thought as he felt the burning sensation that there were eyes upon him. He wheeled around and found Harry's piercing green eyes on him, he was smirking evilly at Harry as if he knew something that he didn't. And as always it drove Ron mad and he knew it.

Hermione looked up from her Charms homework and found Harry and Ron exchanging nervous glances. She continued to watch untill she had had enough. "What are you guys doing?" They jumped as they were oblivious to the fact that they were having some secret conversation "Do you guys have something you want to tell me?"

Suspiciously enough they shook their head a little too quickly.

"Then, what's going on?" Hermione half shouted starting to get quite furious.

Harry starteed to speak, but Ron cut him off, "… Nothing's going on. Harry's just throwing looks at me like he knows something I don't."

That was it! Hermione had lost her impatience, "I thought I could trust you with all of my secrets," said Hermione disappointed that Harry had "betrayed" her. Hermione turned on her heel and disappeared up the stairs and to the dormitories.

A very confused Ron started to voice his thoughts, "Do you want to tell me what that was about?"

It took a while for Harry answered, "I can't hide it any more Ron. I haven't told you anything yet so I guess I'll have to get it over with since Hermione already thinks I betrayed her." There was a long pause in which Ron was looking even more puzzled by the minute. "I need to ask you a question… how do you really feel about Hermione? I mean there has to be more to it."

This was an odd question, he had never been asked this question by anybody. And here was Harry all of the sudden asking this bezarre question. How was he suppose to know how he felt. He had always liked Hermione and thought of her as more than a friend but he wasn't about to admit that to his bestfriend.

"I think she's a nice person and is very talented. Although, she's not my type." Those words hit Harry hard. Didn't Ron know that he was in love. When everybody else could see it… except for Ron himself?

"You need to tell the truth, Ron." Replied Harry scathingly.

"I am telling the truth! Hermione and I are friends, we'll never be nothing more and nothing less." And with that Ron too went up to his dormitory leaving Harry with all these confusing thoughts that had all of the sudden started running through his brain like an electrical surge.

How can Ron not see something so obvious? He's crazy about Hermione! And the whole world knew that. Why couldn't he just admit those feeling of forlonging? The answer was so simple, he was afraid of rejection. But Ron would eventually make the first move and Harry would make sure of that.
