Hogsmeade had definitely tired everyone out. Not necessarily all the buying and looking, but the walks. the snow was so thick this year, a couple of first years needed levitating charms so that they could see above it. all the shop owners Thought it was too funny to put charms around the walks to block the snow. Those Who were smart used the bluebell flames charm.

Now everyone was gathered in the common room. Lavender and Pavarti were at a desk trying out different hairstyles they found in muggle magazines. Ron, who had not only gone to Hogsmeade but suffered through a grueling quidditch practice, despite the snow, was exhausted and had fallen asleep on the couch. Hermione was sitting in an armchair reading up on different spells. She looked around the common room and her eyes landed on Ron. He was on his back with one arm above his head and the other on his stomach. He had a look of a sad kind of happy on his face. 'i wonder what he's dreaming about' she thought to herself.

Hermione went back to reading, but she couldn't concentrate. she kept glancing at Ron. 'He's really adorable. I wonder what would happen if I went over and kissed him.' don't be stupid, 'mione she thought. He'd wake up. That's what would happen. Then there would be some questions she didn't think she answer. Ron would definitely wonder why she was snogging him while he was asleep. Then he would laugh. Yes, he would definitely laugh at her. It was better to keep her feelings and ideas of snogging to herself.

Hermione went back to reading and looked up an hour later when the wind kept hitting the window and making it rattle. she looked around the common room and saw that everyone was asleep. she decided that she should go to bed as well. when she was getting up, she remembered Ron on the couch. she decided not to leave him on the couch all night.

"Wingardium Leviosa" said and floated him up the stairs and to his dormitory. Hermione almost dropped him when she stumbled over hi things by his bed. "Boys are such pigs" she muttered as she placed him on the bed and tucked him in. She decided to indulge and kissed him softly on the forehead. When he didn't move she slowly moved her head down until her lips touched his.

All of a sudden Ron sat up in bed. Hermione ducked down real fast and scrambled under his bed.
