Ron grumbled and turned over once more in his sleep, listening to his stomach growl violently.

He'd been out late on the Quidditch Pitch, practicing for the Gryffindor house team tryouts, completely forgetting about his dinner waiting for him in the Great Hall. He'd gotten back inside only to find everyone back into their Common Rooms.

After one last dissapointing attempt to get to sleep, he pushed back the covers and stepped out of his bed.

Immeadiately, he drew his feet back up after they touched the cold floor. He then slid his feet into the maroon slippers next to his bed and threw his cloak on over his pajamas.

Then he made his way out the door and down the common room stairs. He was just about to go through the door and go to the kitchens to find his snack when he noticed the fire was still shining brightly.

'I thought it went out when everyone went to sleep', he thought, walking slowly around the room.

At once something hanging over the edge of one of the large poofy couches grabbed his attention.

The fluffy brown hair was unmistakable. He'd noticed it far too many times to count...The way it fell around her face when she was studying and the way it became even more unruly when she tried to flatten it.

Hermione laid in what looked like a very uncomfortable way on the sofa, books and her notes scattered on her lap.

'That's Hermione for you', he thought, 'up at three in the morning studying something that we won't even read this year,'

He sighed and then started moving her heavy books onto the floor and was about to close her notebook when something once again cause his eye.

His name! It was doodled down the margin of her notepage in her loopy handwriting.

Why in the world would she have his name doodled all down her notes? Suddenly a thought hit him and he gasped lightly.

"Bloody Hell," he muttered, staring at her face which was reflecting the flames of the fire.

She liked him. Hermione liked him.

He looked around the Common Room one last time before carefully removing his heavy cloak and gently placing it over her.

Then he turned to walk back up the stairs to his dorm quietly, a giant grin on his face, his growling stomach completely forgotten.

A/N: Ok i know the ending was a bit quick but I think its adorable!! But hey I might be a bit biased!! Lol! Please review and thanks if you do!! Oh yeah and if you remy other story, 'Quidditch Lessons', I'll be updating it soon as well!!!
