An Enchanted Kiss
Chapter one
It was midnight, silence filled the air of the girls and boys dormitory. Yet in the Gryffindor common
room it was everything but quiet.
"Ron, I am trying to study. If you don't want to pass Snape's exam than that is fine for you, but I do" Hermione screamed.
"Hermione, Come on I just want to play chess with Harry!" Ron yelled.
"But when you play that barbaric game you make so much noise. You will put me off guard and you wake up everyone sleeping." Hermione said trying to cool off.
"Look Hermione, The exam is not until 2 months from now. One day of not studying will not hurt you in anyway." Ron cried.
"Fine, then I am going to bed. If you don't pass snape's exam then you go ahead." Hermione screamed to Ron who was looking very confused at what she had just said.
ÒGoodnight!" Hermione screamed from the spiral stairs. She slipped into the girl's dormitory as the door slammed behind her.
"What was that all about?" Harry asked as he walked in from the boys dormitory holding the Wizards Chessboard, "Was that Hermione yelling?"
"Of course it was Hermione, she was screaming about trying to study for Snape's exam, which is in almost 2 months!" Ron said venting everything that he was thinking about Hermione.
"Ron, don't you think that you are being a a little mean towards Hermione? You know how much she loves to study. It's like Quidditch to her." Harry admitted.
"Let's just play! I don't want to talk about it anymore" Ron said. He sounded angrier then ever.
"Mr.Weasley, are you alright?" Prof. McGonagall asked, "You have been daydreaming since you walked into my classroom."
"Huh, oh sorry, I was thinking of..." Ron started to admitted, but then he thought of what he was saying,"I am thinking of Prof. Snape's Exam."
"Mr Weasley, that exam is not for another 2 months. It is not like you to think about exams in advance." Prof.McGonagall stated.
"Well I am thinking of changing my grades a bit." Ron stuttered. He wasn't very good at lying to the Hogwarts staff.
"Well I suggest that you start working on my exam that is right in front of you. That is if you don't want to fail my class, am I not right Mr. Wealsey?" asked Prof.McGonagall.
"Yes, Prof." Ron said.
"Hey, Harry wait up!!" Hermione yelled to her friend who was rushing to Herbology.
"Oh, Hermione, sorry I can't talk right now got to get to Herbology." Harry said. He was trying to catch his breath after running from Defense Against the Dark Arts.
"Hold on, I need to ask you a question." Hermione spilled out.
"Umm...Sure, just try to make it quick." Harry declared.
"Well..I was wondering is Ron going to be at the Burrow for Christmas?"
Hermione asked.
"I'm not sure. Why?" Harry affirmed.
"I was just wondering...I didn't know whether or not to buy him a present." Hermione admitted.
"Sorry...You can ask Ron, after all he is the person we are talking about." Harry said as he was starting to run to his next class.
"Thanks Harry" Hermione Screamed. Her announcement echoed through the corridors of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
For the next week the temperature fell an amazing amount. The December chill frosted Hermione's hair as she walked to Flying Lessons.
"Hermione..." Ron called from the flying grounds.
"Hi, Ron. Where is everybody?" Hermione wondered.
"Madam Hooch canceled classes." Ron said running up to Hermione.
"Oh well, then if classes are canceled I am going to go to library. You know study a bit." Hermione admitted.
"Yeah..I should study too..." Ron said in a disappointed tone.
"Ron...did you want to ask me something?" Hermione asked with anticipation.
"Kind of...." Ron stuttered trying to get all the words out at once.
"What did you want to ask me?" Hermione wondered.
"Oh...never mind, I don't want to keep you waiting for your study session." Ron admitted.
"Sure Ron. I do want to get to the library before everybody comes and takes all the books on the 1600th century potions...." Hermione agreed, "Well....bye Ron!" Hermione grinned as she walked towards the chilled school.
Ron was left looking very confused. He was wondering why he said that he wanted Hermione to go ahead and go to the library. He wanted to ask her if she was staying for Christmas vacation. He was so scared that he just stood there like an idiot.
"Harry needs to know how I feel about Hermione. He is my best friend. I think that I need to vent all my feelings." Ron thought, "I need to find him....."
Ron went to the common room, hoping to find Harry talking to Semeus or day-dreaming about Cho-Chang.
Unfortunately Harry was not there. In a matter of fact Harry could not be found on the Hogwarts grounds at all.
Then suddenly Ron looked over by the window and he saw Hedwig, shivering behind the clouded glass.
"Hedwig!" Ron babbled as he tried to open the frozen window sill. "Hold on Hedwig, I'll let you in."
It took Ron a long time but he finally opened the window. Hedwig swooped in and started to warm her wings by the hot fire.
"Hedwig, do you have a letter from Harry?" Ron asked excited.
Hedwig held up her leg and revealed a small piece of parchment attached to her frozen taslons.
The letter read:
Ron-
Sorry to have to tell you this so long after I left. I am in Romania, with Charlie. Dumbledore told me
that I was to work with the dragon tamers. After the encounter with the dragon from the tri-wizard tournament,
they thought that I could help them with a problem Norwegian ridge-back. I am starting my first session with
the beast in one hour. Wish me luck! This means that I will not be here for the remainder of the quarter.
Dumbledore will be sending me my homework and I will be sending it back with Hedwig. So make sure that you send her back.
-Harry
"Great now I can not tell Harry about Herm....." Ron started but he was cut-off by Hermione who walked in crying.
"Hermione... what is the matter?" Ron asked hurt was in his eyes.
"Oh, Ron. My parents just sent me a letter saying that my grandmother has died." Hermione cried.
"Hermione, I am so sorry. Are you going home? I mean for Christmas vacation?" Ron asked while hugging Hermione.
"No, all the flights going to London are cancelled because of the weather." Hermione started to cry even harder. she hugged Ron back. She wanted someone to tell all her problems to. She felt like Ron was that person.
"Hermione, is there anything I can do?" Ron asked.
"Just your presence makes me happy." Hermione managed to stager a half-smile.
Hermione cried all that night. Ron stayed by her side the whole way. Hermione did not feel strange about having Ron hug her and help her through her problems. She actually felt safe and happy.
She secretly had a crush on Ron, yet she was thinking it might be more than a little crush. Ron just did not realize.
Hermione felt mad that she kept such an obvious secret from her best friend, but she was happy that she could keep a secret so well.
Although her yearning for Ron's love back was a thing that she needed.
The weeks leading up to christmas seemed to go by very fast. She was happy that her and Ron were doing more things together. They decided to study together. To help each other out when Snape's Exam, after Christmas
was distributed. Mostly Hermione was helping Ron, but that wasn't the point. Hermione enjoyed her time with
Ron. As Ron seemed to enjoy her company too.
The days leading up to the students vacation seemed to bring chaos to the air in Hogwarts. Hermione was
thinking of her gift for Ron.
Ron was thinking of what to get Hermione. To Hermione it came quickly..... A love letter.......
