Hi there! This is my first story. It's a little boring at first, but I promise it gets better.

This has no real time period. Everyone is still alive and Voldemort has no part in this story. Also, Beauxbatons are not in this.

I do not own Harry Potter or any of its characters. I just live in their world ;)

"Now time for the names of the champions!" Dumbledore announced.

He dimmed the lights in the Great Hall with a flick of his wand. He approached the Goblet of Fire and the flames erupted high into the air. A piece of paper floated in the air and Dumbledore caught it.

"The Durmstrang champion is Viktor Krum!" he yelled

The Durmstrangs applauded and cheered for Viktor as he walked to the front of the room. He shook Dumbledore's hand, then proceeded to the back room. Another piece of paper flew out of the Goblet. Dumbledore grabbed this piece also. There was still a little flame on the paper; Dumbledore blew it out, then looked at the name.

"The Hogwarts champion is Ronald Weasley!"

Everyone from Hogwarts cheered except the Slytherins, who stared with loathe.

Ron looked stunned. Hermione rolled her eyes, smiling, then shoved him gently to his feet. He smiled back at her, then walked to the front of the hall. He shook Dumbledore's hand, then disappeared into the back room.

The last piece of paper flew out of the flames. Dumbledore took it and read:

"Another Hogwarts champion! Draco Malfoy!"

Draco strutted proudly to the front of the room while the Slytherins cheered and whistled. He quickly shook Dumbledore's hand, then quickly made his way to the back room. Dumbledore turned back to face the hall and smiled.

"Our three champions! The first task will be somewhere between four weeks and eight weeks. Now go back to your common rooms and have a lovely night."

Hermione and Harry got up and headed to the back room. Hermione groaned. Harry looked at her.

"Aren't you happy for Ron, Hermione?"

"Of course I am, but… girls will try to get him for themselves. Love potions disguised, presents. Plus these dangerous tasks…"

Harry sighed. "Hermione, he loves you. Love potions wear off. And Ron can handle the tasks with help from you."

They reached the door to the room and Harry opened it for her. "Hermione!" was what she heard when she walked in. The next thing she knew, Ron had picked her up and was spinning her around in the air. She quickly put her hands on Ron's shoulders for balance. He set her lightly down on the ground, removing his hands from her waist.

"Isn't this great?" Ron asked enthusiastically.

"It's wonderful." she said, hugging him.

Malfoy walked over and rolled his eyes. "Get a room you two." he said.

Ron pulled away from Hermione, but put his arm around her waist and looked at him. "Jealous much Malfoy?"

Malfoy sneered at him. "Jealous? Of you? Being with…"

He looked at Hermione and stared. She noticed his stare, her face went red, and she stared at the floor. Malfoy cleared his throat, then left the room, looking back at Hermione.

"We should be going." she said, still staring at the floor.

"Oh, right." Ron said, letting go of her to grab his bag.

Harry was the first out, followed by Hermione. They left so quickly, Ron had to catch up. By then, they were already climbing the marble staircase.

"Guys, wait for me!" Ron shouted, finally catching up with them. He wrapped his arm around Hermione's waist again and kissed her on the cheek. She smiled and put her arm around Ron's waist. Harry looked at Ron and smiled. Ron smiled back, then looked down at Hermione. There was a moment of silence, where the only sound was their footsteps, but it was broken by Ron.

"What do you think was up with Malfoy down there?"

Hermione looked at Harry, who was looking at her. She started biting her lip nervously. Ron looked from Harry to Hermione and back again.

"What do you two know that I don't?" Ron asked suspiciously.

"Y-you really don't know?" Harry asked, sounding unsure.

Ron looked blankly between them. Harry sighed.

"Malfoy obviously fancies Hermione. So you two need to be careful around him. He'll try to get to you Hermione."

Ron and Hermione both nodded.

Flashback end

November. Ron had felt the anxiety growing since the champion's feast, anticipating the first task.

One night, as Ron, Harry, and Hermione entered the common room, Ginny rushed up to them.

"Hello Ginny. What's going on?" Harry said, looking around at all the excited faces in the common room.

"The first task is in two days." she responded, looking at her brother.

Ron's eyes widened at the news. He looked like he was going to be sick.

"C'mon Ron, I'll take you to the restroom." Hermione said.

Hermione took Ron's arm, walking him out of the common room. Ginny sighed.

"I wish I could find a perfect guy for me like Hermione has." she said, looking at the portrait hole where they had disappeared.

"Maybe you don't have to keep looking." Harry said, taking her hand.

She looked down at their hands, then at Harry.

Ron was throwing up in a stall while Hermione waited outside. When he came out, Hermione walked over to him and patted him gently on the back.

"Are you okay now?" she asked.

"I'll be all right." he answered, giving her a small smile.

"It'll be okay Ron. I'll help you, you know that."

"I know, and I'm glad. You're the most brilliant person I know."

He hugged her tightly. She smiled and gave him a light kiss on the neck.

"Thanks." she mumbled, lips still pressed against his neck.

The vibration from her lips made the hair on his neck stand up, but he smiled.

They made their way back through the few corridors and re-entered the common room. When they stepped inside, it went silent.

"Just ignore them." Ron whispered, grabbing Hermione's hand proudly.

She nodded, walking through the silent common room. As she walked, she noticed Lavender Brown watching Ron admiringly. She felt a bit of jealousy go through her. Ron followed her gaze and saw Lavender looking at him. He whispered something to Hermione, making her giggle. Lavender looked away, crossing her arms.

They made it to Hermione's dormitory she shared with Ginny. She stopped in front of the door, turning to face Ron. They stared into each others eyes for awhile, then Ron leaned slowly. Hermione's heart started to beat faster, knowing what was coming. She closed her eyes and… She opened her eyes. He had only kissed her on the cheek.

Disappointment flooded through her. Her eyes were sad and she looked at the floor.

"Good night Ron." she said, opening the door.

"Night."

Well, this wasn't too bad from the first time I modified it. Just had to change it a little.
