Chapter 1 : Sorry Ron!
"Hey" Ronald Weasley said, plopping down beside his best friend, Harry Potter.
"Hey. Waht's up?" Harry asked.
"I've decided today's the day." Ron said.
"The day for what?"asked Harry, dreading the answer he knew was comming. He knew Ron too well.
"I'm finally going to ask Hermione out." he said, not noticing Harry's face fall.
"You sure about doing that tonight? It's our last night of 7th year." Harry said, but the real reason was that Harry was planning on staying the summer with Hermione and her parents. Hermione and him had grown very close while Ron was gone during the hunt for the horcruxes. Ron didn't know about either of those things.
"That's why tonight's perfect. It's now or never mate." he said, typically clueless.
The portrait hole for the head boy and girls common room swung open as Harry slipped upstairs to change clothes.
"Hey Hermione"
"Hey Ron. You seen Harry?" she asked him.
" Yeah. But I wanted to ask you something Hermione.
"What?" Asked Hermione, distractedly.
"I wanted to know if you'd go out with me?" Ron asked, voice trembling a little.
"I'm sorry Ron. I can't. You're more of a brother to me and i don't want to ruin that. Sorry, Ron."
"That's okay Hermione. I had to try once. See you later. Oh and Harry's upstairs."
"Thanks Ron." She said, running upstairs.
Ron stood there dumbfounded. 'What the bloddy hell just happened?' He walked off, bewildered.
