Author's Notes: This fanfiction is a pairing of Ron and Hermione. I hope you find my story very amusing. But if you're a fan of Harry / Hermione, it would be better if you will just leave 'cause you'll not want the mushiness of these two.

CHAPTER ONE

A Letter For Hermione—From, Viktor

Hermione was a having her beauty sleep since it's weekend and she was stressed out the whole week. She dreamed of her being a teacher in Hogwarts and can't resist smiling. She was walking to her class when suddenly she heard a voice that says "Hermione… Hermione" she turned back to looked at it but no one was there. She felt a hand slap her face that made her wake up from her wondrous dream. She saw Ginny waking her up. "What?" she demanded. "Nothing!" Ginny said, smiling. "No offense but I wish you hadn't waken me up from my dream cause I became a teacher here in Hogwarts" Hermione said. "You what?!? Whatever! Okay here's the reason why I woke up" she replied as she handed her a letter. "Your owl went here in our dormitory just to give you that. Funny owl! It can't wait until lunch," she added. "A letter? From Viktor Krum? You're kidding are you? Or you made this? Am I right?" Hermione said squealing. "Yes it is from him that's why I woke you up though I saw you really enjoying your dream. I'm not kidding and I didn't make that. So come on! Open it and let me see!" she said. Hermione carefully opened that letter as Ginny sat beside her on her bed. Hermione real out loud, "Dear Hermione, Hi there! I am really happy that I was able to buy an owl. Now I will be able to update you about what is happening in here. We traveled in different places, discovered new world and befriended new people. I am really enjoying my summer vacation here in the world-world. But I still can't understand why the date of my vacation is different that yours. Now, I won't be able to see you until next year. Tomorrow we are going to Brazil and next week on Texas. We won't stop traveling until the end of my vacation. Well, here ends my letter. I hope that you're doing fine in Hogwarts just like me. Take care! Cheers, Viktor" Ginny shrieked, "I can't believe he said 'Take care'. Meaning he cares!" Lavender sat up from her bed and removed the covering of her eyes and interrupted, "Hey Ginny! Please lower down your voice 'cause many of us are still sleeping. And Hermione, nice letter. I can't help to listen a while ago. But tell Viktor that he's not sweet. He didn't even bother to address his name as 'Love, Viktor; Hugs and Kisses, Viktor; or Your angel, Viktor" she said and smiled. She lied down again on her bed and snored loudly that make Hermione and Ginny giggle.

**************************************************

At lunch, Hermione went into her usual seat, which is between Harry and Ron and in front of Ginny. Hermione kept smiling and singing different love songs that won't hide that she's in love. "'Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight. ''Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight. And there's nowhere in this world I'd rather be, than here in my room. Dreaming about you and me," she sang perfectly with her eyes closed. When the chorus was finished she opened her eyes to found all the Gryffindors looking at her. "What??" she asked innocently. Some of them giggled quietly. Fred and George looked at each other and stood up. Then went over to Hermione and said. "Can't hide that you're in love…" Fred said. "Shut up!" Hermione demanded, still smiling.

"Let's see… Neville?" asked George.

"Nah" answered Fred.

"Seamus?"

"Nah"

"Dean?"

"Nah"

"Harry?"

"Nah!"

"Ron?"

"Nah" (With that, Ron blushed…)

"Oh I know!" squealed Fred.

"Yeah!" answered George.

"Professor Flitwick!!!" they said in unison.

All the Gryffindors laughed. No one can resist a joke from the Weasley twins. Even Hermione can't stop laughing. Just then, Professor Flitwick came to their table as fast as the speed of light. "I heard my name. Is there someone calling me?" he asked. "Yes Professor! Hermione's looking for you. I think she wants to know if you can go to Hogmeade with her" answered Fred. The Gryffindors tried to hide their laugh. "No, Professor. I just thought of examining the Roaches Shake in the store of "Fabulous shakes" store but I thought that I could just stay here in the castle" Hermione lied. "Oh, okay!" Professor Flitwick replied as he turned and walked away. Then, the Gryffindor laughed again as Hermione rolled her eyes at Fred and George. She urged to finish her food and rushed to the owlery and got her owl for her reply in Viktor's letter.

Hermione went to the Common Room to do her assignments while listening to her CD Man with a CD full of love songs. Her father bought this is London when she was 10. She was doing her essay in Care of Magical Creatures that Hagrid has assigned them. She thought of the question, "Why do we need to take care of the magical creatures?" Again, a thought of Viktor popped out of her mind. Without thinking, she wrote this in her notebook. "We need to take care of the Magical Creatures. We really need to though sometimes, they look weird, scary, and even dangerous. They are still like animals that have feelings and can get hurt. Always put into our mind the word LOVE because it is the one that will give us peace in our hearts. We need to study much better in this subject so that we may know how to befriend these creatures so they wont hurt us. And who knows? When they are already our friends, they might be the one to save our lives later" She ended the essay without rereading it and closed her notebook. She sighed. She wondered what happened to Viktor. Just then, she heard her music stop. She checked at the batteries but it was still okay. Then she saw a hand that pressed the stop. She looked who was at her back and saw Ron.

"Oh, Hi Ron!" she greeted. "Why did you stop the music?" she asked. "Because I've been standing here 3 minutes ago and calling you without you even bothering to look at me" he answered. "Oh! I'm sorry, Ron!" she apologized. "So! Why are you acting strange a while ago," he asked. "Oh! Nothing. It's just because I got a perfect score in Charms" she replied. "No, Hermione! You're my friend and I knew you very much. You'll not sing some love songs if you perfected a quiz in Charms 'cause you always got a perfect scores in our quiz and you're not acting like that" he said suspiciously. "Okay, I'll tell it to you. But don't tell it to anyone, okay?" she said. "Even Harry?" Ron asked, with his popped-out eyes. "Yeah!" Hermione said. Just then, when Hermione's about to begin, a voice said behind them, "Hiding something from me?" they looked at their back and saw Harry them. Whew! They thought it's someone else. "Okay, fine! Seat beside me! I'll tell it to you too," Hermione said rolling her eyes without reason since she's not angry at Harry. Just a little annoyed because of trying to scare them. "Okay, don't be shocked all right?" she asked. They both nodded. "I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM VIKTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she yelled that the eardrums of Ron and Harry might have be broken. "That's all?" Ron asked. "It's no big deal!" said Harry. "You know I like Viktor…" Hermione said. "Okay, I'll show you his letter," she said as she grabbed her wand inside her robe. Then she said, "Getiromus!!" Then an envelope went into the Common Room floating. Hermione grabbed it and handed it to her two best friends. After the two finished reading they looked at Hermione with their eyebrows raised. "You know? I guess I am the type of person who is not much into girly-talk" Harry said.

"But will you two just PLEASE listen to me? I need someone to listen to me. Oh yeah! I know that Ginny can listen to me but hello? Aren't you to my friends also? Though you two are boys, I know you'll understand what I'm feeling. Please?" Hermione pleaded. "Okay" Harry and Ron said, sighing. "You know, he's traveling around the world. France. Japan. Spain. Texas. London. Philippines. Indonesia. Canada. California. Italy. Malaysia. And other more. So I'm really worried that something bad might happen to him, you know. I am really worried 'cause there's no enough time. He can't go here in Hogwarts. And no one has asked me yet" Hermione said, with lips trembling. "Asked you where?" Ron asked. "The Yule Ball! Have you guys forgotten about the Yule Ball? It will be held one week away from now. And no one has asked me yet" Hermione said. "Yule Ball?" Harry and Ron wondered. "Oh my God! What am I going to wear?" Harry asked. "Yeah me too! I don't think that I would like to wear the one I used before!" Ron added. Hermione laughed. Harry and Ron looked at him. "I thought you two don't like girly-talk" Hermione said, laughing. "Oh we forgot!" Ron said. "Okay, here's the deal. Tomorrow we'll wake up early at 6am and we'll go to Hogsmeade and buy some clothes" Hermione said. "Sure!" Ron replied.

**************************************************

The next morning, Harry and Ron woke up at 5:45am and rushed to the bathroom. Too bad for Ron, Hermione got up first and hurried to the bathroom. Ron, however fixed his bed and still, he stared at the bathroom door, "Why isn't he finished yet?" he asked himself. He then walked out of the boy's dormitory and went into the girls. Just in case Hermione's not yet awaken. He opened the door and saw that everyone's still sleeping. Even Hermione!!! He went to Hermione's bed which is three beds away from the door and sat on her bed. She stared at her and tapped her shoulder. He whispered, "Hermione… Hermione… Hermione… Hermione…" Just then a voice answered. "What are you doing here?" he saw Harry. "Why are you always trying to scare me?" he asked. Harry then, sat on Hermione's bed and woke her up too. Just then they were frightened by a shriek of a girl they looked at Parvati with her rollers on her hair sat on her bed. All the girls in the dormitory looked and tried to screech too but Harry made a "Ssshhh" sound. "Why are you here?" Ginny asked. "You're not going to rape Hermione are you?" Lavender asked. "Of course not! Why would we?" Ron said as he blushed. "Because you're in our dormitory" Parvati pointed out. "Okay, we're sorry! We went inside to check if Hermione's already awake 'cause we are going to Hogsmeade this morning and we saw that she's still sleeping so we decided to wake her up… Sorry!" Harry explained. "Okay…" the girls sighed. "We're not going to tell anyone that you broke one of the school rules that is to enter the girls' dormitory" said Serena a 7th grader. Hermione told the boys, "See what you've done?" as she grabbed her towel in her closet and hurried to the bathroom.

They got out from the castle at sharp 6:15am. They went to the restaurant called "No Gluttonies… Please!" and bought some Worm-Cakes that just looked like Pancakes and had their breakfast. They laughed at how the girls in the dormitory looked horrified when they saw the boys. They even laughed and talked about funny things. When they paid their bills (they divided the bill into three and paid it). When they were leaving the store, Harry thought of an idea on how to buy the clothes, "I know, let's do it like this I will buy Ron what he'll need, Ron you'll gonna buy for Hermione and Hermione'll gonna buy for me. Got it?" Harry asked. "Yeah! But I don't have any money. What I have here is 14 Sickles only. How are you Harry gonna buy me one?" Ron said. "Don't worry Ron. Our budget is 50 Galleons. Ron, here's my 50 Galleon. And please be serious in choosing my dress. I don't wanna look like an idiot if you'll gonna choose a funny dress. No time for jokes please and Harry, here's my 25 Galleons, share for Ron's and where's my 50 Galleons for the one that I'll buy for you" Hermione said. Harry handed Hermione his 50 Galleons and Harry grabbed 25 Galleons in his pocket for his share in Ron's. "Hey, thanks guys! You're the best pals in the world," said Ron. "Don't worry! it's okay! That's what friends are for," said Hermione as she hugged him. "Yeah!" Harry agreed. "So, we'll meet in the "Fabulous Shakes after buying. About 10am" said Hermione. After that, she turned back and left.
