Chapter 1: "Hermione I Have a Question
"Ron, what are you up to?" Hermione asked inventively.
"Just thinking, where's Harry?" Ron asked.
"Down at Hagrid's," Hermione answered. Hermione and Ron were sitting in the Common Room of the Gryffindor tower in the two comfiest chairs by the fire. Ron had been thinking about asking Hermione out for ages, but could never get himself to gain enough courage. He had finally decided that this semester he would do it, but, there was only one problem, he was hoping Harry would be there (for moral support). Ron decided to wait a bit longer to see if Harry would show up.
It had been a few hours and Harry was still down at Hagrid's. Ron wanted to ask Hermione so bad he just couldn't get himself to do it. When he had finally gathered enough strength to ask her he piped up, "Hey, Hermione can I ask you something?"
"Yes Ron, what do you need, help with your homework?"
"No, I don't need help with my homework."
"Then what question do you have?"
"Well, umm…" Ron said nervously, "Would you… umm… would you…"
"Would I what?" Hermione asked eagerly.
"Wouldyouliketogooutwithme?" Ron asked with all his words morphed into one.
"Umm… come again?" Hermione answered confused.
Ron heaved a big sigh then asked, "Hermione, would you like to go out with me?"
"Oh wow, umm… I'd love to Ron!" said Hermione trying to be calm but you tell there was a hint of excitement in her voice.
"Oh wow, that was easier then I thought," Ron said just as Harry walked through the Portrait whole.
"What was a lot easier then you thought it would be Ron?" Harry asked questionably," And why is Hermione smiling… wait, you didn't!"
"I did and she said…" Hermione had cut him off.
"I said yes."
