Love is truly blind, in any reality

Description: PG-13. This story has no magic, no wizards, no Hogwarts, just normal circumstances. Same rivalries, same loves and same hidden desires.

Disclaimer: If I owned any of the characters do you really think I'd be writing this? Nope, I'd be a published author and rolling in cash ;) All characters copy right of JK Rowling. Music copy right of Maroon 5

Author notes: I thought I'd try something different and experiment with whether magic does make things harder or easier. The trio are coming to their final year at Hogwarts (ie they are 15, some possibly 16) Please review :) and tell me what you think.

Chapter 1 :: Morning, the worst time of the day

This love has taken its toll on me

She said good-bye too many times before

The stereo in Ron's room blared "This love" signalling it was time to get ready for hell, why did it seem that he needed to get up when he had just fallen to sleep? Was a few minutes of peace and relaxation too much to ask for? Recently all he seemed to be doing was trying to live up to others expectations, trying to make everyone happy and in the process tiring himself out. Books and timetables scattered the floor of his room and as he sat up he groaned and flopped back down onto his pillow. One thing worst than school had to be the exams that came with it, plus the constant lectures from teachers and his parents. "If you mess this up, Weasley, say good-bye to your future" the familiar voice of one of the most hated teachers entered his head, Mr Snape. A look of disgust crossed his features at the mere thought of him.

And her heart is breaking in front of me

I have no choice cause I won't say good-bye anymore

Before it had a chance to continue Ron threw a pillow at it and cringed as he heard the radio crash to the floor. "Bloody hell" he muttered under his breath while pulling the sheet over his head. All he wanted to do was escape, escape from the pressure and escape from the worst life in history but that wouldn't be happening anytime soon.

"Ronald Weasley, if you don't get your lazy arse out of this bed this instant I'll come in there and move you myself" shrieked Molly as she pushed Ginny into the bathroom "Your going to be late!"

Yet he still didn't move, trying to close his eyes and forget everything around him "NOW!!!" Molly yelled while throwing the door of his bedroom open.

"I think it's safe to say your not a bloody morning person" Ron said sarcastically while tossing the sheet off himself and kicking a book across the room.

"Coming from you, that's cheap" Ginny said as she ran past his room and into her own.

Sighing he quickly dressed himself and staggered downstairs, rubbing his eyes in the process. His trade mark red hair was all over the place, while dark circles outlined his eyes.

"Wow bro, no one tell you it's not Halloween for another few months" George said with a grin but the saddest thing was, Ron didn't even have the energy for a decent come back and instead he picked up a slice of toast and wandered into the living room.

"Ginny hurry up, were picking Hermione and Harry up today" Molly shouted as she reached the bottom of the stairs.

"Huh?" Ron said with confusion.

"Well Harry's uncle has refused to take him to school, says he needs the exercise" she paused as she often did when mentioning Harry's living arrangements "and Hermione's father is at some dentist convention so can't get there"

"But mu-"

"No but's, it's already arranged" and with that she grabbed her coat and car keys "I'll be waiting outside, hurry up Ginny!"

Ron had no problems taking Harry, they had been the best of friends for the last six years but her. Ever since they posted the exam timetables she had to be the most annoying person ever to be around, maybe even possibly worse than the Draco Malfoy. The constant nagging about why the others weren't doing enough revision and the constant worrying that she would pass, or worse not pass with flying colours.

Following his mother he certainly thought this day was getting worse and frankly he would be glad when it ended.

After driving to Harry's they had been surprised to find that Hermione was already there.

"If she could walk here, then why are we bloody taking her!" Ron spat to his mother, who just gave him a death glare in the mirror "typical" he added to himself while slumping further into his seat.

Hermione got into the car "Morning everyone" she said with a smile across her face as she took the middle seat, Harry soon followed seeming to have had the same idea as Ron. If it was possible he looked even worse and as soon as he sat down he rested his head on the window and closed his eyes.

A huff left Hermione's mouth "That is no way to start the day Harry, you need to start focusing"

Ron rolled his eyes "Listen, it's 7.30 in the morning. It's cold and we're tired, could you at least save the 'your wasting time' lectures for after 9?'" Ron responded, seeing as Harry had no plan to answer.

"Will you just keep your mouth shut, I wasn't talking to you"

"Ouch, hit a nerve I see"

"Why are you such an insufferable prat!? All I'm trying to do is help you but instead all I get is criticism!" it seemed Hermione wasn't the morning type either, this early and he'd already got a few insults?

"Criticism?! We criticise you! Sorry but I think your getting your facts mixed up"

"Both of you shut up, now" Mrs Weasley demanded and with that Hermione simply glared as a grin of triumph crossed Ron's features.

Well maybe this day wasn't going to be too bad after all, Ron thought to himself as they pulled up outside the school.
