Dislclaimer :: I am not JKR nor do I own any of her wonderful characters that I have used in this story.
A/N :: Just a quick opening to set up why Hermione is upset.
It had been an evening to remember. She had been the envy of every girl at the Yule Ball. Dancing the night away in a sapphire blue dress with Viktor Krum, the girl had never before felt more beautiful.
Upon saying goodnight to her charming date, Ron had insisted on following her all the way to the Gryffindor Commons muttering harsh words under his breath. Hermione had finally had enough and swerved around so fast that she almost lost balance on her heels.
The screaming match unveiled itself and the two stood there yelling and cursing and flailing their arms about, growing increasingly red in the face with every sentence that was spat out. "You know DAMN WELL that it is not MY fault that YOU chose to wait till their were no more girls left!!!" Hermione yelled.
"And what the BLOODY HELL are you doing DATING Harry's enemy!!?"
"He is NOT Harry's enemy, RONALD. They are participating in a COMPETITION, not some game where they try to KILL eachother!!!"
The two were unaware that they now had an audience watching them with mouths half open. No one dared to speak, the arguement was heated and if anyone else were to step in, they would of easily been ripped to shreds in a matter of moments.
"I just don't think you should of gone with him." Ron said defiantly, crossing his arms and pressing his chest out, subconsciously trying to intimidate Hermione.
"Then maybe next time, Ron, you shouldn't wait to ask me to the dance!!!" And with that, Hermione ran up the stairs to girl's dorm. Ron's chest deflated and his mouth dropped open in shock at what she had just said.
The Gryffindors cautiously made their way around him to head up to their own beds as Harry came over and patted him on the back, ushering him towards the boy's stairs.
"What was that all about?" Whispered Angelina to her tall date.
"Just Ron breaking Hermione's heart again." Fred responded.
A/N :: Now the fun/cute stuff happens.
