Hiya everyone this is my first fic so don't be mean ok? Please r/r even if it's bad. Takes place in 7th year r/h fluff with maybe a little h/g. enjoy!

Maybe, just maybe..

Hermione couldn't concentrate on her potions homework. She knew the reason why and she tried to block it out of her head but however hard she tried that thought just kept coming back to her, the same thought she'd been having for a few weeks now. Her and Ron, together.

She never realised she had feelings for Ron until a few months back when he started dating Lavender. He hadn't really changed but had become really popular somehow. Hermione was ecstatic when they split up last week but she didn't have the guts to tell Ron how she felt about him. Even if she did she'd be worried that Ron would just throw it back in her face, or that it would ruin their friendship. They were good friends now, they no longer bickered at every opportunity, instead it was Harry and Ron who had stayed up late arguing. Hermione allways found herself picking up the pieces. She had become head girl at the beginning of her 7th year and found the responsibility hard, all that homework and then Ron and Harry to sort out too. She found it too hard and sometimes she just wanted to melt into Ron's arms and hold him. Why was she getting so soppy? She had definitely changed from the school work first Hermione who allways kept her head above the ground, now she was sinking so fast it felt like she had been dropped into a pit of quicksand. Sure, she had other friends who could help her out but she didn't feel like telling anyone apart from herself. Suddenly Ron and Harry, drenched in mud from quidditch practise, awaked her out her thoughts.

"Hey Herm, aah potions homework we'll be down in a minute to come do ours. Ron, come on stop staring at Melissa and start walking up those stairs!" Harry's speech was rather sweet, Hermione thought, since Ron had made his crush on Melissa apparent to the whole house before Harry could easily say that. No-one knew how much Hermione was jealous of Melissa with her straight, blonde hair and perfect figure, Ron had fallen head over heels 'in love' with her the day after she had transferred from America and was at her every becking call. Hermione labelled her as a spoilt brat before she even got to know her and refused to say more than two words to her at once. Just after they had left Ginny Weasley came up to Hermione and started babbling on about Harry again. Babbling on about Harry was one of Ginny's favorite pastimes ever since the beginning of time, well, that's what it felt like. "So do you really think he likes me Herm because you said the other day he might. Do you think he's too scared to make the first move or were you wrong and does he hate me?" Harry and Ginny, in Hermiones opinion, both fancied the pants off of each other (and that was an understatement!) and should go out with each other before they found someone else.

"Gin, how many times do I have to tell you he really likes you, go for it you've really got nothing to loose!"

"You think? I'm not sure but oh god I will. No, no I won't. Maybe, maybe. Aah, what's gotten in to me I might as well just leave it altogether."

"No Gin don't. Think about it."

"Okay, but what's wrong with you lately, I haven't seen you smile in weeks."

Hermione forced a smile and said "Well, you know. Schoolwork then being head girl. It all gets a bit too much sometimes."

"Wow even for you! Well ive gotta go Herm but I'll see you, thanks for listening!"

"Bye Gin." Hermione didn't know why this conversation had refreshed her so much. Maybe Ron did like her. Or maybe not. It was a give and take issue that she just had to solve.

A/n I know its short but what do you think?
