The air is cold on Hermione's face as she looks over the bridge into the distance. An unnoticeable figure comes up behind her.
"Hi!" says Ron Weasley, scaring Hermione making her jerk.
"You gave me a heart attack Ron! You shouldn't sneak up on people!"
"What are you doin' out here?" he says shyly, adjusting his cloak, "Waiting for someone?"
"Yes,"
"Who?" Ron practically yells.
"It's a Secret, Ronald…"
"Really?"
"Yep."
"Go on then…tell me." Ron says curiously.
"Well, okay I guess I could tell you, it's not like you could tell anyone," Says Hermione boredly.
"What's that supposed to mean then?" Ron yells at her outrageously.
"Keep your voice down…I'm waiting for my Secret admirer." Hermione says looking around for him.
"Oh…really," Ron says angrily.
"Uh-huh. A letter came under the common room door this morning, telling me to wait here… but… it's not really a secret…Victor Krums' been waiting outside it ever since he got here! I just know that it's him, and he's late! Oh well, he's so cute!" says Hermione sighing blissfully.
"Alright then…what if it isn't him?" Ron says folding his arms.
"Yeah, HA, of course it's him Ronald! The note even said that he'd be wearing a "cloak" and guess what he's wearing today?" Hermione says using her fingers to quote, cloak.
"A 'cloak'?" Ron says copying Hermione's hands.
"Uh-huh."
"So what," Ron says rolling his eyes, "So am I."
"God, Ron…always has to be about you doesn't it! I could be talking about Luna's shoes and you could turn it into a conversation about you! Ron likes this, Ron likes that, Ron has this, did that tried the other! Can't you see that? Can't you talk about anything other than yourself?" Hermione yells at him and watches as he loses his defences.
"Well…I just think…how do you know for sure…that it's…well…him?"
"See! You just think! And I just know that it's him…who else could it be!"
"How do you know Hermione? How do you know it's him?" Ron says with a little strength in his voice.
"Because Ronald…! Go away! Your making me angry!" Snaps Hermione.
"Oh…so I'm making you angry now?" Yelling at the top of his lungs.
"Ronald," Hermione says calming down. "I was in a good mood waiting here before you started sniffing around! Go home to your Bertie Bots collection!"
"Hey, that's not fair and for your information I stopped collecting Bertie Bots ages ago! Now I collect—"
"I think I see him coming! You better go…before you make everything worse."
"What?"
"Quick," pushes Ron in the opposite direction, "Go away!"
"Oh, I'm not going anywhere!"
"Ron…if you don't leave now…I'll tell everyone about the time you stuffed your wand up your nose and had to go to the hospital wing!"
"Yeah…you would too your such a—"
"Whatever Ronald…" gets all excited then deflates.
"It's not him…"
"Oh…well too bad!" Ron says sarcastically walking away at a slow, steady pace.
"See ya Ronald…God how long is he going to be?"
"How long are you going to wait for him Hermione?"
"Forever…if he takes that long…" she says trailing off.
"Good." Whispers Ron, taking a look back at Hermione and putting a heart shaped box of mixed flavoured chocolates under his cloak and sighing quietly…leaving Hermione to wait for someone who will never show up.
