BTW: I know this story totally goes against my Fanfiction ways (CANON

ONLY!), but I could not help myself, because I had Hermione/Ron on my mind. Just keep in mind, this story fits NOWHERE in the 6th book!

This story is told in First Person Point of View; Hermione Granger

My head officially has a mind of its own. I know that I shouldn't look at him, but somehow I always end up with my eyes on him. This was a mistake, because every time I saw him, he was with Lav – Lav, which only made my stomach turn inside – out. Lavender Brown was someone that I had not really thought about until recently. She was really just there. She shared a dorm with me, she was in most of my classes, but that was it. It wasn't until she had become the extra set of body parts to Ron. Now she was a focal point of her thoughts whenever she ran into Ron, which was frequently.

The most recent encounter happened yesterday in the common room. I was doing my charms homework alone, as usual. I was sitting next to the fire where it was warmest and had the most light because the winter chill was finally settling into the castle. Ron walked through the portrait hole with Lavender clinging to his arm like it was going to save her from everything. Ron appeared happy, which made me even angrier. And confidently, they chose to park it on the love seat that was directly in my line of sight. I couldn't tell if he had done it on purpose, because I was forcing myself not to pay attention to them.

They had only just sat down before Lavender grabbed him by the face and start making out. I felt my face grow red with rage, but luckily my puffy hair that was usually a nuisance was blocking my face, so no one could see my face. But unfortunately, I could still see everyone else.

It was just my luck that when I finally looked up, Ron and Lavender had broke apart for air. Ron looked directly at me. My heart wanted to melt like butter, but my mind kept it steeled. His mouth might have curled into a smile, or I might have imagined it, because he then grabbed the back of Lavender's head and pulled her lips back to his. I don't know what emotions my face portrayed, but they must not have been pretty. The rest of the common room was clearly annoyed with the disturbance of their study time, and they soon all cleared out. In no time at all there was only Ron and Lavender, me and a couple of seventh years left. But Ron and his girlfriend didn't seem to notice or care.

I tried my hardest to act like I didn't care. But eventually, I couldn't stand it. So I waited for my face to stop flushing, and gathered my belongings. But I didn't leave the room without giving Ron a look of hatred that I made sure he saw. His eyes lost some of their passion after that, and I smiled to myself. I wanted to reach the girl's dormitory before Lavender did, because she would be sure to wake all of the girls to rant about Won – Won. I made sure to have my curtains drawn before this ever happened, so that no one could see me seething with rage.

I had almost made it into the land of slumber when Lavender loudly slammed the door closed behind her when she entered. I checked the clock. It read 11:41. She had been down there with Ron for only twenty minutes without her. This was unusual. Usually, she was down there for a good hour after the common room had cleared.

"Oh, Pavarti! Won – Won was sooo romantic today!" Lavender gushed. "We went to the lake, and had a picnic, and, oh! How much fun we had!" she giggled in her high pitch squeal that had bothered me even before she was dating Ron.

"Do you think he's the one?" Pavarti asked her. It troubled me that she asked it in all sincerity. I didn't think that Pavarti was that dumb. But then again, maybe she was.

"Is there any doubt?" Lavender said. "But he's lucky that we started dating when we did."

"Why's that?"

"Do you see the looks that that Granger girl kept giving him? He's lucky that I saved him from that loser when I did."

I bolted up. How dare she? Apparently, I sat up with a lot of noise too, because soon the curtains of my bed were drawn by none other than Lavender.

"What's the matter, Granger?" Lavender asked. "You don't seriously think that nobody's noticed how you look at Ron? Or are you just stupider than you act in class?"

"Oh really? Only the stupid would believe that your precious Won – Won is 'the one.'" I retorted.

"Face it, Granger. You will never be loved. Why don't you just give up now and accept that you are a loser that only a mother could love."

I could feel the tears coming, so I acted quickly.

"At least I'm not a slut." I quickly closed my curtains and put a silencing charm on my bed. Now I couldn't hear whatever Lavender was yelling at me, and she wouldn't hear me cry.

Morning came around, but I didn't feel like getting up for breakfast. It was the weekend, so there would be no classes to worry about. There was a Quidditch game this afternoon, but I would not attend and risk running into Lav – Lav and her boyfriend. I waited until long after breakfast had started to come out. I got dressed into something suitable, and left to go and find some place quiet to work. I settled on the third floor corridor. Even after Fluffy had been removed, nobody went there out of fear. It would be the perfect place to work. My homework quantity was large, so I spend the entire morning working. I didn't plan on it, but I worked past lunch.

I checked the time: the Quidditch game was started already, so the halls were relatively empty. I felt my stomach rumbling, so I went downstairs to the kitchen. When I walked through the portrait, I was greeted jubilantly by Dobby the house elf.

"Hello, Hermione!" Dobby greeted her. "What brings mistress Hermione down to visit Dobby today?"

"I missed lunch," I admitted, "so I came down here to fix myself some food."

"Oh, please! Allow Dobby to help!"

Dobby didn't even wait for my answer; he went straight to the refrigerator. He came back shortly with some sandwiches and a glass of pumpkin juice. I sat down at one of the wooden tables and quickly finished off my small meal. I bid Dobby goodbye. I grabbed my books and went upstairs to the common room to do whatever homework that I had left.

The common room was empty, so I picked one of the desks that were usually occupied, and sat down to finish work. I worked fast, trying to enjoy every last bit of peace and quiet.

A/N: What do you think? I kept thinking about what was going through Hermione's mind whenever she saw Lavender with Ron, and thus this story was born! I have already written a majority of this story, so I will update in a regular pattern, probably Monday's and Friday's, if all goes well. Please Rate and Review!
