O.K, this is in Hermione's POV. It is set in 5th year and the place will become obvious soon. This is my first piece of R/Hr, at least, the first piece I have had the guts to publish.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *

I sat at the Gryffindor table, watching the proceedings. Ron and Harry sat across from me, with Ron just staring at his plate, and Harry trying to convince him to eat. I held back a sigh as I looked at Ron. He looked so scared, and defeated, I just wanted to put my arms around him and give him a hug. But I would never do that. Not in a million years.

Near to the table, I heard Pansy Parkinson, giggling over something with her friends. Now, normally, that wouldn't bother me, but they kept looking over in Ron's direction, and then giggling harder. I narrowed my eyebrows at them, and stood up, walking over to where they were stood. When I reached them, Pansy looked up. "Granger," she sneered "You might wanna take a look at this. You'll need it after the game." She threw something at me, then flounced off back to the Slytherin table, her giggling girl-friends in tow. I looked at the thing she had thrown at me. It was a badge. A silver badge in the shape of a crown. As I looked closer, I could see writing on it. "Weasley is our King." I looked at the badge, completely confused for a minute, before it hit me. I threw the badge on the floor, being careful to tread on it as I went back to the Gryffindor table.

When I reached it, both Harry and Ron were getting up. I rushed up to Harry, and whispered in his ear "Don't let Ron see what's on those Slytherins badges." I couldn't tell Ron. It would crush him! Harry looked completely confused, but I shook my head lightly at him. Ron walked up to us then, looking miserable. My heart sunk. He looked completely lost, as if he had no idea where he was.

Even now, I have no idea why I did it, but I said "Good luck Ron". Not that that was the strange part. The strange part was that after that, I stood on my tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek! His feel of his cheek against my lips was so intoxicating that I wanted to stay there forever, but as usual, my rational mind took over. I went back to standing on my feet, and feeling mean, I wished Harry good luck too, and then rushed away. I felt my cheeks turn a bright red. Why had I kissed him? Why, why why? Oh great. Now I sounded like Lavender, or Parvati.

As I reached the door of the Great Hall, I looked back to see Ron touching the spot on his cheek where I had kissed him, looking puzzled. I smiled in spite of myself. And all it took was three little words and a kiss? Hmm....Interesting.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ * Well, that's it for this chapter. Why don't you review, and tell me what you think? (minor hint) (

Next chapter is the same incident from Ron's point of view.
