Oneshot of one of my favorite cannon pairings. 400 words exactly. Cheers!

You know how Harry and Hermione have the same first and middle initial? Well, JK Rowling created Harry James and Hermione Jean, and I did not.

In the Mind of Ron Weasley

Merlin, she's pretty. And she's bright, quite bright, I think. Her curly brown hair and light eyes. For some reason she thinks I'm good at Quidditch. I'm rubbish at it. Snogging her isn't half bad. Mum would approve, I think. She's a Gryffindor, she's my age, she's smart and pretty.

Oh bugger I said that already. I'm rambling about a girl. One that I don't even like. Woah. Woahhh. I didn't mean that I like her. I might even grow to love her one day. I mean, she's been walking around the bloody castle for years, and I've noticed her now. How did I not notice her before? At least, not in the same way I notice her now.

Sure, she has her annoying traits, like how she feels about that hag Trelawney or how she used to spend far too much time with her "best friend." But now she's with me, and a lot of guys are taking notice and getting jealous. We're having fun. I've got a smart, funny, pretty witch by my side.

She never criticizes me. We never argue. Well you would have to talk a little bit more in order to argue. Shut up brain. Who's side are you on anyway? See. She's drives me mad about her. I'm arguing with my own brain.

She's picture perfect. A real winner. But Harry doesn't approve of us being together. So what. Who cares what he thinks. No one, that's who. He's your best mate. Of course you care what he thinks. He's probably right too, mate. I need to stop talking to myself in my head. Admit it. You don't even like her.

Shut up. I do like her, and that's that. Never mind what Harry thinks. Never mind what Ginny says. "She's all wrong for you! You'll never be happy if you stay with her!" Ginny's just a stupid kid. Doesn't know what she's talking about. I'm happy. She's happy. I'm happy.

And her? Oh. Her. Right. Well as far as I'm concerned, and I'm not that concerned, mind you, I hope Cormac McLaggen and Hermione Jean Granger have a long happy life together with a lot of rubbish kids with loads of curly brown hair and too much brains for their own good.

But really, I hope she uses the bird spell on that wanker.

Really. I do like Lavender.

So, what did you think?
