A/n: Ok I decided to write another Ron/Hermione story! I hope you like this one! It's my first full fic that I ever uploaded on fanfiction so I wish you'd be nice! I'll accept flames to help me along the way so I'll know where I screwed up.

Summary: Ron liked Hermione ever since the second year. Is it too late to tell her that he does? What if she realizes he loves him back when she knows she's not supposed to? Read on!

Disclaimer: I don't own any Harry Potter characters or anything to do with Harry Potter.

Chapter one

THUD! Something fell on Ron's head as he was sleeping early in the morning. It was Pigwidgeon (sp?), his owl.

"Good morning to you too…" Ron mumbled. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the letter and a package that fell on him as Pigwidgeon flew around and chirped happily. He hastily unrolled the parchment and grinned. The letter was from Hermione. It read:

Dear Ron,

Yes I'm very psyched about meeting you and Harry tomorrow! I can't believe we're finally in our 7th year! I'm going to try everything to make sure this year would be great. I was made a head girl by the way. I wish Harry were head boy. I think he deserves it, don't you? Anyway, I'll see you at Diagon Alley tomorrow with Harry alright? Take care now.

PS: I also sent you a little something. I know it's not your birthday but I just HAD to buy it for you!

Love from,

Hermione

Ron smiled happily. He and Hermione had been writing to each other for the past couple of weeks.

"Ron! Breakfast!" Mrs. Weasley called.

"Coming mother!" Ron yelled. He took a box from underneath his bed and opened it. It was full of every letter Hermione had written to him. He stuffed the parchment inside, closed the box and put it back under his bed. Then, he opened the package and was shocked at what he saw. It was a "Broom enhancer".

"Makes your broom faster and shinier." Ron read from the instructions. "Caution: the speediness of your broom will only last for a month. Do not forget to remove the tag before using." Ron grinned again.. Thanks Hermione, he thought. He quickly put the Broom Enhancer underneath his bed with the box and rushed downstairs and sat on a chair next to Fred on the table.

"Do you know that you have a mark on your forehead or are you doing it on purpose?" Ginny told him.

"Yeah it's the new look. Soon you and your friends will be having red marks on your foreheads too." Ron said sarcastically.

"Hmm…that gives me an idea for another prank we could add to our joke shop!" Fred commented. His eyes shined brightly.

"Here's your breakfast." Mrs. Weasley said as she put about 5 plates with different food in them. "Percy please come down now!"

"Mum, I think he left already." George told her as he bit on his bacon.

"My, my, that Percy is overworking himself." Mrs. Weasley muttered. "Pretty soon he's going to end up as a workaholic. He'll end up being a bachelor. Too bad though, he has quite a handsome face…"

Ginny, Ron, Fred and George tried not to laugh so they either drank some juice or shoved a piece of bread in their mouth. After breakfast, George and Fred left and went to their joke shop in Hogsmeade. They had bought Zonkos' a couple of years ago and had the biggest and most successful joke shop in Wizarding History. Ron was eager for the next day to come. He couldn't wait to see Harry and Hermione again. Especially Hermione. Ron didn't have anything to do for the rest of the day so he went with Ginny to her room and helped her with her homework.

"What does a Nogtail look like?" Ginny asked him.

"Look in your book." Ron said.

"No, I'm too scared to open it!" Ginny said as she eyed the Monster Book of Monsters Volume 6. "Last time it almost bit three of my fingers off, remember. And they're still not healed." She raised her right hand up showed him three fingers that had bandages on them.

"I don't know! I'm not Hermione!" Ron snapped.

"Ooooh! Hermione huh?" Ginny teased. "Why did you blush when you said her name huh Ron?"

"Blush? Me? Blush? That's funny." Ron laughed.

"Oh come on. I know you like her! Everyone does except her!" Ginny giggled. "Are you finally going to tell her this year? Come on, its your last year Ron!"

"What's there to tell? Nothing!"

"Ugh! You're so impossible! If you don't tell her now, you'll lose her. Forever."
"I don't know what you're talking about. Hermione and I are going to be friends and we're going to stay friends for a long time."

Ginny sighed and rolled her eyes. "You're so hopeless."

"What about you and Harry huh?" Ron asked.

"Harry's different. He's just a crush. An infatuation. What you feel for Hermione is love and that's WAY different."

"How would you know what love is, Ginny?"

"I just feel that you love her even if you deny it. And behind all the denial and lies you say, deep inside you know you love her."

"Stop acting like that stupid hag in the advice section in that Witch Weekly magazine of yours. You sound just like her."

"Oh how would you know that there's an advice column there hmm?"

Ron turned bright red. "Well you left it open on that page once and I was passing by and I caught a glimpse of it and…"

"Don't even try explaining because I don't believe you." Ginny giggled. "Ok so help me with my homework now!"

A/n: ok that's it for today! I don't think I'll upload until Monday or so but please review! It's my first fic ever that I uploaded so please be nice and tell me what you think!
